"There's no need to talk about it anymore. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" General Abydis looked at all the Silver Hand Paladins present and explained his opinion, "The answer is clear, attack Stratholme. It is the place where our silver hand is disgraced, and from where we should pick up our glory again! ”

"Winning Stasom will wash away the shame we suffered before the war. Then we head north to Northrend in search of Alsace! The general Abidis said with a fierce face, "It's time to go to him and make a break!" ”

The General's proposal was approved by some people, and the paladins discussed it.

Locke understands the paladin's thirst for revenge and the loss of their former glory. But this proposal was really bad, although now it appeared that the situation of the Crusaders was developing on the good side. However, further consolidation is needed, not a strike while it is still stable.

What's more, Locke knew that there was a Dreadlord waiting for the parasitic there. It was because of him that the Crusaders came to their final demise.

It's really not a good idea.

This time, even the Grand Lord Mograini did not make a clear objection, he himself looked at the strategic map on the table, deducing the situation in the future.

"I don't think we'd better be in a hurry yet."

After a pause, Locke felt that he should quickly say his suggestion and dispel their thoughts, and he found that many paladins were in favor of it.

All eyes were once again on Locke.

General Abydis turned his head and looked at him and asked in an unkind tone, "Oh? What questions do you have? Say it! ”

Locke nodded, and he first said, "I'm not a big general who has an opinion about you, and now on the surface, our situation is very good. But it's all based on the fact that we've suppressed the number of undead in the woodlands and purged all the wandering undead. That's why things are going to look really good in the Tirisfard Glades. ”

"Not really."

Baron Tyrosus motioned for Locke to continue, the one-eyed paladin was very interested in Locke's proposal.

"If I really want to choose a target, I'd recommend attacking the Scourge Undead in the mill town of the Agamander family. While we were conducting Operation Tirisfal Glades, the Scourge Undead were also consciously controlling the concentration of other scattered undead there, which frustrated our original plans. ”

Locke glanced at the Grand Lord, Mograini, who nodded at him.

"There are no less than 100,000 undead of the natural disasters gathered there. And there are also a large number of Scourge Mages, which are very big threats. And we have only two standing corps there, less than 10,000 men on the defensive, which is very dangerous. ”

"It's also the base of the Cult of the Damned in the Tirisfard glades, and the thugs are constantly spreading fear in the towns we control, corrupting our people and causing us trouble. As long as the mill town is defeated, at least our western Tirisfal glades will be completely safe. ”

"Compared to Stratholme, stabilizing our rear is the most important thing. Just like our armor, food, etc., these require a stable logistics to replenish. I still think that we should develop the territory under our control first and then think about other things. ”

Locke spoke his mind truthfully.

"Boy, you're still young. You were not born when we joined the Silver Hand with your father. I can forgive you for your ignorance of honor. "When Arthas disbanded us outside Stratholme, the regimental commander Uther did not insist, which led to Arthas's massacre of the city, which was a mistake made by our Silver Hand!" Do you understand? And it is there that our Silver Hand has lost its glory! The massacre of Alsace, the people of Stratholme, our shame! ”

"I understand what glory is, General. I hope you understand that we don't just have glory and shame. "We also have responsibilities and obligations, duty to protect the civilians in the area under our control, and duty to restore the kingdom. We can't let revenge dominate our thinking, we need to look at everything more holistically. ”

Grand General Abidis snorted coldly, "There's never been a better time to do it, boy. We now have almost 100,000 troops, which is a remarkable number. I think that when we were at our worst, there were only a few hundred people in the entire crusader army, including me, the Grand Commander, and Mograini. Isn't it the same now? If we are all like you, how can we develop? How to defeat our enemies? ”

"You have to remember that in our land of Lordaeron, there are countless people who are suffering, and they are waiting for us to deliver!" Abidis pointed to the villages and towns where civilians gathered on the map, "Who would have thought that in these remote places, there are still people alive? They are examples! Maybe there's someone waiting for us to rescue us in Stratholme! ”

"That's impossible. It has become a city of natural disasters, and the whole city is basically devoid of living people," Baron Tairosus interjected, "and it is full of dead people, and the floating city of Naxxramas of the undead of the natural disasters is suspended in the sky above it, and has been engaged in some kind of conspiracy all day long. If this is the first target, I want to be ready to go! ”

"My suggestion is to attack Stratholme and reclaim that city, which is too important for us Silver Hand Paladins! We need to capture it to prove our silver hand once again! Prove us crusaders! General Abidis looked at the paladins present and suggested.

Locke didn't show weakness either, he looked around and expressed his suggestion, "Isn't it good to stabilize the rear and wait for us to develop before attacking that city?" It's a bit risky to do so now! ”

The paladins present were all talking, and it was obvious that there was a big difference in this matter.

"Then let's vote!" The Grand Commander Dasuo Khan, who had been listening for a long time, finally spoke up, and he looked up at all the people present. "If you support Abidis's suggestion, please raise your hand."

In the room, more than two dozen paladins, most of them raised their right hands. Even Brigitte raised her hand, and when Locke looked at it, she smiled apologetically at Locke.

They were the only ones who did not express their opinions.

"I'm for it!" The Grand General was the first to raise his hand, and then the Grand Prosecutor Ethan Lien raised his hand.

Locke turned his head to look at Tyran, who smiled apologetically at Locke, "I support the General's proposal, we Silver Hand desperately need to prove ourselves there, and nothing else. This is what our Silver Hand must do! ”

Locke instantly became frustrated, obviously unable to stop himself.

"Well, this issue has passed!" Grand Commander Dasuo Khan directly announced that the proposal had passed, passing over Locke, the High Lord, and Baron Tyrosus.

Others are not surprised by this.

"Don't be discouraged, maybe it's a good thing?" The High Lord patted Locke on the shoulder, "Although I'm not in favor of attacking Stratholme either. But they're right, it's something we have to do with the Silver Hand. ”

Locke sighed, let's take one step at a time.

"This matter is settled," the Grand Commander said to this Locke, "Locke, the military rations for this operation still need to be provided by the Southern Theater of Operations, is there a problem with this?" ”

"No problem." Locke regained his calm look, what had been decided was unavoidable, so bring more troops over. "In that case, I would like to ask what troops to take with you there?"

"All of us here are going!" Grand Commander Dassault Khan said solemnly, "This time the enemy is no more ordinary than those ordinary undead in the past, and we need to use the power of the Holy Light to deal with those undead." ”

"The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th legions were with them. In the attack on Stratholme, the priests of the Brotherhood of Light will assist us. The remaining combat legions, plus the garrison corps, were responsible for guarding our rear. ”

"Who has any other questions?!" The Grand Commander was advisored to the four advisors, and the surrounding paladins had no objections.

The meeting was dissolved.

Locke declined the High Lord's request for dinner and returned to his lodgings, where he needed to be in peace.

The catastrophe for the Crusaders was about to begin.

I didn't expect to do so much myself, but history still corrected it back.

Alas, Locke sighed and lay on the bed in a daze.

You can only take one step at a time.

There was a soft knock on the door, and Locke didn't get up, he knew who it was.

Sally pushed open the door and walked in.

She walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the sullen Locke.

"Is it because of the meeting?"

Locke didn't answer, it wasn't clear, and he didn't want to explain. I just feel that I have done so much, and I haven't changed history, but I feel a little powerless.

"It's normal for people to think this way, you didn't join the Silver Hand at the time, and you can't understand their feelings. It is a process in which they regain their honor, self-affirmation, and redemption. ”

Sally stroked Locke's forehead with her hand, and she said with a smile, "Of course, your proposal is also very correct. As long as we continue to develop step by step, sooner or later we will drive out all the undead. ”

Locke was amused by her words, and the little girl said good things on both sides, and no one was to be offended.

"Tell me, what are you doing here?!" Locke got up and took her delicate little hand, "It's not just here to comfort me, are you?" ”

Sally looked at Locke with a smile, "Who hid it from you if you were so smart?" I do have something to do, and my adoptive father, Mograini, wants the two of us to go to his house for dinner tonight. ”

Locke sighed and said, "Can I not go?" ”

"Huh? Why not? Give me a reason? Sally asked rhetorically, "It's just another meal for our family." Don't say no, okay? ”

"Well, well." Looking at Sally's pleading face, Locke had no choice but to nod in agreement.

At dusk, Locke took Sally and the two of them, dressed in civilian clothes, to the Grand Lord's house for a dinner.

The atmosphere was lively, and Locke was forced by the Great Lord to get drunk, and was sent home by Sally in a daze that night.

Locke slept in a daze with the woman who took her home for the night, and woke up the next day with no one on her pillow.
