"You're not just scary! You're going to scare the little girls away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" suddenly came Brigitte's laughter behind him.

"A big nobleman like you, ordinary people can only look up, and never dare to look at it." Bridget grinned and walked over to Locke, "This little girl is very nice and innocent." ”

"Why are you here," Locke asked, frustrated with her yin and yang weirdness.

"What's the point, why am I here? Why can't I come? What can I do here that can leave my coordination? Do you expect you to be a burden-throwing guy? Brigitte said dissatisfiedly, "Besides, for your safety, the guards and I have been waiting over there for a long time!" ”

Locke looked down where she pointed, where several guards were standing pretending to be nothing.

"If you're in a bad mood, you can tell me." Bridget said grumblingly, "Why hold it yourself." Am I not your own? ”

"It's all right." Locke's expression relaxed, "Go back, tomorrow is another regular meeting once a week." ”

"This morning, we killed quite a few spiders, and their flesh will be our food, and in the evening I will treat you to crunchy spider legs." Locke ran his hand through Bridget's hair, gathering it on top of his head.

"Can you eat this disgusting thing?"

"If you don't try it, how can you be sure you can't eat it?"

"Let's go"

Locke reached out and grabbed Bridget's wrist, and the two slowly walked towards the town hall.

And in a corner of the square, the elf girl was sulking at the scene in front of her.

"We need to get through the big area of Lake Lordamere as soon as possible. That way, we'll be able to get in touch with the mages on the other side of the ruins of Dalaran. Bridget stood in the middle of the town hall with a large map of the Silver Pine Forest area hanging from a billboard beside her.

With the stick in her hand, she pointed to the place marked with Dalaran.

"Although this city of mages has been destroyed, there are a large number of mages there. If they join us, then our hopes of recovering our homeland will be greatly increased. ”

"And!" Bridge pointed to the area around Ambermere in the southern part of the Silver Pines Forest, "According to the Scouts' information, this area is now controlled by the mages of Dalaran, and Ambermir is their town, where nearly 100,000 people are now gathered. Refugees and Gilneys fled throughout the southern section of the Silver Pine Forest. ”

"It is said that there is a curse called werewolves. That's why the mages came here to take control of the area, and they wanted to understand the reason for this contagious curse. On the other hand, they also have to protect the refugees there and fight the civilians who have been infected with the curse of werewolves. ”

"As long as we get through Lake Lordamere, we'll be able to get around these undead for a while," Bridget drew on the map with a stick, pointing to the Scourge Legion-controlled area in the middle of the Silverpine Forest.

"In this way, we will be able to connect with the ruins of Dalaran and with Ambermere through Lake Lordammere. We transported our soldiers through the lake to Ambermere, where we strengthened our control over the land. Then, from the north and south, we attacked together to control the Scourge in the middle of the Silverpine Forest. ”

"That's it! Our wish to clear the northern part of the Silver Pine Forest will come true! Brigitte said with a little excitement.

"I have a question," Thor asked, raising his hand, "will those mages let us take over their defense?" After all, it is now they who control and shelter the civilians there. ”

"Don't worry." Bridget raised her arms and motioned for Norris to let her come out and say a few words.

"Our Scout Wing Captain will report back to us with specific information."

Norris stared at Bridget, who smirked and motioned for her to hurry up and report the situation.

Norris slowly stood up, and she saw Locke sitting in his chair, who looked at her softly and nodded.

You two dogs and men! Pure heart angry with me!

Norris held back the anger as she pulled a report from her leather armor and read it.

"According to the Scouts' reports, the mages of Dalaran are in control of the land bordering the Hillsbrad Hills by the Silver Pines Forest, where they organize militias to fight against the Scourge and against the civilians infected with the Werewolf Curse. They gathered humans and sheltered them, and were very popular with the local populace. ”

"Our scouts have also approached the mages there, and the archons of Ambermere have told us that if our crusaders are to pass, they will hand over all our defenses to us."

"To that end, our scouts have rushed to Dalaran, the city of mages in the hills of Hillsbrad. Preparations were underway there, which may have been the reason why the mages had abandoned the Silverpine Forest. ”

"So! I suggest," Nolis put away the report in her hand and looked up at Locke, "if the situation isn't tense, we can hold off on going south for now." After we have cleared the fishmen of Lake Lordamere, our army needs further training, and when the soldiers are fully grown, we are heading south. ”

"Anyway, with those mages here, the southern region is safe for the time being. We in Iva need time to digest our recently acquired resources, and the closest threat to us now is the Forsaken over there. Norris pointed to the northeast, "When I was scouting there recently, I noticed that the Forsaken were rearming. Although the progress is a little slow, but it is indeed so much that I hope everyone will be vigilant, especially the Legion Commander, your words and deeds can make the difference between life and death for all the people and soldiers in our region! ”

When the words were over, Norris sat down, her head bowed without saying a word.

"I agree with Captain Norris," Major Hudson said, affirming as he stood, "we've formed four legions of recruits, and it's all going to take time to hone their awareness and fighting skills, and it's not a small enemy like the Fishmen. If we want to unplug the Scourge Corps that controls the central mountains, then we need to be very cautious. If we are not careful, there may be huge casualties, after all, we now control a relatively large territory, and there are more places where soldiers are needed. ”

"And we do need to digest the resources that we've recently acquired. Our weapons and armor are still being built. Our ballistas are being made, our air forces are being created. There is no need for us to be in such a hurry, as long as we wait for a few months and everything is ready, then it will be their end to greet the undead of the Scourge Legion. ”

For a time, many officers echoed it.

In this regard, Locke did not object, and the attack on the fishman was also agreed by the officers before, which was the first thing that needed to be solved at present.

And the stationing of troops in Ambermere in the south is only a matter of proposal.

"Okay, let's discuss how to get those fishmen out of the water!" Locke stood up and looked at the officers present and said, "It is impossible for our soldiers to fight them in the water in heavy armor. Moreover, even if you take off your armor, you won't always be able to defeat them in the water. ”

At this moment, the officers below looked at each other and were speechless.

These little guys, the fishmen, if they are on the shore, are definitely no match for the soldiers. However, these little creatures spend most of their time on the islands in the middle of Lake Lordamere, and when someone comes to the lake, they dive into the water and try to attack any creature that enters their territory.

It will be very difficult to get them ashore on their own initiative, unless someone gives them an order.

"Well, the Legion Commander might as well ask the kobold." Shiloh stood up and said, "Isn't he an alchemist?" Alchemists always have some strange potions in their hands, maybe there are potions that can force the fish-people out of the water and ashore? ”

"Or, let our goblin hires make some bombs and throw them in the water to delay their detonation. Blow them ashore? Paul also stood up and asked, "This is also a way, maybe if there are too many explosions, they will come out." ”

In this regard, the female mage Olivia has no choice, she can only provide some simple help to the soldiers when they are fighting.

Seeing that nothing could be discussed, Locke disbanded the meeting, leaving Norris behind.

"Captain Norris, as you may know, you are now the head of the Kingdom's Security Service. However, you may not be very clear about the responsibilities of this department of yours, and it may be different from what you remember. ”

In short, it's one sentence. All those who threaten our kingdom will be within your responsibility. In that case, you will need to have a large number of personnel to gather and sift through the information. As for the composition of your membership in the Order, I will not ask anyone, as long as you can make him serve the Order, and pledge his loyalty. I want you to pull the net wider, preferably where there are humans to set foot and have our agents. ”

"Your duty is not only that, but this part of your ministry will serve the army and the kingdom. In the future, only one company of scouts will remain in all legions. After our military conference has decided on the next step of the strategy, your department will have to collect information about the relevant objectives of the strategy so that the commander can give accurate orders. ”

"In terms of economics and trade, sometimes you need to cooperate with the logistics department. When the time comes, Shiloh will come to you if he needs to. ”

"Internally, officials and nobles who have committed wrongdoing will be your targets."

"And your department, in the end, only accept my direct leadership. Since it is internal, those officials and nobles need to report to me first and make decisions. ”

"I hope you can help me control this power in the dark!" Locke looked at Norris solemnly, "Don't affect our work because of our current relationship. ”

Norris looked at him steadily, "Don't worry, I know the difference between public and private, if there is nothing else, I'll go!" ”

Norris turned and strode towards the door.

"I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry I failed you. ”

Nollyston paused, then walked out as usual.
