Chapter 666: Feudal Lords and Vassals
"I'm telling you this in the hope that you won't look at this again with the ideas of the past." Locke paused and continued, "We are the administrators of this country, and from the perspective of the administrators, how to quickly end the unrest in the kingdom and allow the kingdom to return to normal is our most important thing at present. ”
"When we're done, we'll try to get in touch with the undead leaders in the ruins of Lordaeron. If the people are against us," Locke's gaze swept over, and some of them thought it was as unbelievable as the Arabian Nights, and he said with a blank face, "then you need to convince them." Let them think about it, if those undead had their old family members in them, if they also became like that, would they still reject those undead as they insist on now? ”
"Of course, I'm not completely dazed," the chatter in the office was a little louder, and Locke raised his voice and continued, "If there is more opposition from the people, then I will respect their wishes." ”
"But before that, in order to divide the undead in the ruins of the royal city. If there are undead spirits wishing to return to human life, place them here..."
As Locke finished speaking, Norris stood up and pulled open the large map behind her, which showed several newly constructed towns in circles in the northwest corner of the Tirisfarda Glade.
"I didn't intend for them to mix with us, in fact, it's unrealistic. Getting the people to get acquainted with them and stop fearing them is also an effective means for us in the war against the scourge of the dead. ”
"Bishop Whiteman, prepare the first clergy to settle in those undead towns for a long time." Locke's gaze turned to Sally, who nodded, "There are many priests in the church who are willing to go there, and they are very much in favor of such a move. ”
"The troops of the quarantine town are already stationed there." Hudson picked up and said, "I'm skeptical about it, but our wizards say the undead aren't dangerous. Of course, I believe them. ”
"It's decided, and I hope everyone can keep our mouths shut." Locke warns that this is his attempt to divide the Forsaken's men, and that it would be nice if it worked.
"Now the meeting is officially open."
Locke quickly announced his decision, and went directly to the next topic, directly blocking the words of many people who still wanted to persuade Locke.
"General Hudson, what is the strategic approach of the lower divisions of the Department of Operational Research?"
When it comes to the name of the military first, Locke can't help it, and at present, Lordaeron's eyes can't be completely focused on internal affairs.
Hudson stood up, saluted Locke and bowed slightly to the others around him, saying, "There are two things in front of us that must be done. First of all, the rebellion in the Hills Bled Hills had to be resolved as soon as possible, as did the Syndicate Bandits. But we think these two things can be handled together, but this requires your approval, High Lord. ”
Locke nodded, he knew about it.
Locke rhythmically knocked on the table and called Quart's name, "Viscount Quat, what should we do with the matter of Viscount Dasalia who betrayed the kingdom." ”
Viscount Quat stood up and bowed slightly to everyone around him, and then he looked at Locke and said without thinking, "Deprive him of his privileges, abolish all his titles and official positions, reclaim all his fiefs and all his property, and sentence him to death." ”
"Does he have a king? If so, who? Locke paused for a moment and continued to ask, "Is it possible to hold his feudal lord accountable?" ”
Viscount Quat smiled and said, "You can be held accountable, but the Duke of Jon Arabraham, whom he is loyal to, died in the royal city of Lordaeron a few years ago. It was in that catastrophe. ”
"Oh," Locke nodded, muttering for a moment, and then he continued, "So where is the fief of Duke Jon Arabraham?" Are there still heirs? ”
"The fief of the Duke of Arabraham was chiefly in the hills of Hillsbrad, with Tallenmere as his capital. He had a nephew, Clito Araboham, who claimed to inherit all the titles, titles, and fiefs of Duke Arabraham. Of course, the Council of Nobles did not agree with his claims. ”
"Then send a messenger to Tarummir to inform Clito Arabaham that he should be summoned, and if he still considers himself the Duke of Arabaham, and let him explain here the crimes of his vassals. You must arrive within two weeks, or you will be guilty of treason..."
"Wanted!"
Hiss....
Everyone was dazzled by the interaction between Locke and Viscount Quart, and they didn't expect to see this scene in their minds.
Quite a few people gasped! Arrabham, Duke of Hillsbrad Hills, was a powerful lord. His status can be said to be on par with that of the current Locke....
However, all of this was actually planned by Locke and those who knew the inside story.
The reason why Viscount Quaet and some other people who have never joined this high-level meeting are brought in is because Locke began to consciously use the resources in his hands to deal with all his enemies.
Bridget's army in the Southern Theater of Operations, and then entered the Hillsbrad Hills, and found that the situation was not as simple as Locke and they seemed!
Most of the noble armies here belonged to a large nobleman, and subsequent intelligence from the Security Service revealed that the main cause of the rebellion was not the viscount, but the lord named Clito.
Locke was very surprised by the sudden appearance of the duke, he had wanted to swallow the land here! I've never heard of a duke on Lordaeron's southern border!
As the Security Service focused its attention on the Hillsbrad Hills in the south, more news began to pass on to Locke.
Duke Jon Arabiham was once one of several dukes of Lordaeron, and he held a large amount of land on Lordaeron's southern border, in the hills of Hillsbrad. In the midst of the catastrophe in which Arthas killed his father, the kingdom of Terenus, the result is evident when Duke Jon and his entire family are in the procession to welcome the prince on his triumphant return.
The disaster left Duke Jon's immediate family buried in the ruins of Lordaeron's royal city, while his nephew, Clito Arabraham, escaped by dealing with the dukedom's accounts.
When the news arrived, Crito Abraham was unusually sad at first, but he immediately found out that he was one of the few legitimate heirs of the Abrabeth family!
During those chaotic years, the heirs who preceded Clito died one after another, breaking their necks while riding horses, or drowning in a bathtub while drunk. This kind of bad luck that hovered the house of Abraham did not disappear completely until Clito inherited the territory.
This abnormality can be seen by anyone, and Crito has obviously made the greatest profit.
To this end, Locke assigned the Security Service to investigate what happened during that time, and soon the first clues appeared. The lords of the family of Abraham who died were accidents when they went to a banquet or a hunt. And each time, Viscount Dasalia was on the scene.
Obviously, Viscount Dasalia was very suspicious.
Moreover, after the death of his cousins who were ahead of Clito, Clito soon inherited the title of Duke of Arrabeth and everything with the support of Viscount Dasalia.
As the Security Bureau's investigation deepens, Locke gradually learns the true thoughts of the High Lord of Clito.
At first, Crito was very frightened, he was afraid of the future reckoning of the kingdom, after all, he claimed the inheritance of the realm, which was not in order. But as time passed, the terrible situation in the north of Lordaeron slowly stabilized his heart. Lordaeron's poor political environment meant that no one had the time or effort to investigate whether his inheritance was normal.
At the same time, Aiden and the others in the Alterac Mountains also contacted him. They tricked him into taking advantage of this time to become independent and help the Syndicate re-establish the kingdom of Alterac. In return, the kingdom of Alterac will also recognize his independence.
At first he rejected the men's demands for an alliance and allowed his own private army to attack them. But as time passed, the rise of the Crusaders and Locke made him think differently in his heart.
When Aiden sent someone to contact him again, he agreed to Aiden's request, and even secretly joined Aiden's syndicate. Of course, he had no idea about the land of Alterac, but he had an idea about the whole of the Hillsbrad Hills and the southern Silver Pine Forest.
He had always watched what Locke was doing in the north of Lordaeron, and he, like Locke, wanted to do something while Lordaeron was now unable to look south. In fact, during this period of time when Locke was gradually gaining dominance of Lordaeron. He had been plotting independence on the southern border.
This rebellion was the cautious Clito who thought of using his vassals to test the reaction of the Council of Nobles, so there was an act of autonomy by Viscount Dasalia...
In the meantime, he encouraged the Syndicate, who was struggling to contend with the undead of Lordaeron, to come to Hillsbrad and use it as their logistics base. Aiden Pernord, the leader of the syndicate, also agreed to Locke's request because of his refusal to help.
He took the opportunity to hide all his army in the syndicate and went to attack the lands of the other noble lords of the Hillsbrad Hills. And when confronted by Lord Marbre, the consul of Southsea Town, he looked like he couldn't help it, saying that he had not yet been recognized by the kingdom and that he did not have any army under his command, as if Hillsbrad had nothing to do with him.
In order to allow himself to split from Lordaeron, he also agreed to the request of a southern kingdom. The other party will also support him when he declares independence!
When he saw this person clearly, Locke couldn't help but gasp, Locke felt that he was a copy of himself! Even suspect that he is a time-traveler!
This man is very smart!
Because of the inertia of game thinking, I didn't expect that there would be a great lord on the southern border of Lordaeron! And he also takes advantage of this blind spot, disguises himself with syndicates, and develops power in the dark.
Because of the lack of information, and because the eyes of the Security Service were not completely on this side at first, there was such a big change here.
What Locke just said to Viscount Quart is the best solution after Locke discussed it with all the people involved! Locke could not tolerate the existence of such a great nobleman, and this had to be solved, no matter how much he succumbed.
Moreover, in the land of the hills of Hillsbrad, Locke has long had a new arrangement, so he naturally cannot be soft on him.
If Krito comes, then good! Control him here, kill here in the name of colluding with the enemy. If he doesn't come, just clean him up for treason.
The latest news is that Syndicate's Aiden Pernord is looking forward to working with him.
