Baron Maxwell Tyrosus walked solemnly in the courtyard of the monastery, where all the soldiers and officers standing guard and passing along the way saluted him.

But this seemingly respectful gesture to him made him worried.

Along the way, he saw the rapid changes in the Tirisfal glade. The happy and peaceful expressions on the faces of the people returned again, and all the villages and towns along the way slowly began to flourish. The people even put their catch of meat in the bazaars to peddle it, and to his surprise, it was not the aristocracy or the middle class that bought the meat, but the ordinary people.

What does this mean? It shows that the commoners already have a lot of wealth, and they have begun to have the ability to choose the recipe of each of their meals!

This is nothing in the eyes of outsiders, and the good life of ordinary people has nothing to do with themselves. However, Baron Tairosus was also a lord.

Based on these, he could deduce in his mind the current development of Locke's territory!

And this calculation really made him laugh... The Tirisfara Glade has grown far beyond what he had imagined. In contrast, the people of the Chapel of the Wish of Light are still gnawing on the bark of trees....

This also made his deep worries intensify.

As the saying goes, full of warm thoughts**... That's not right here. Anyway, it means that once people's lives are calm and comfortable, people will have some higher thoughts.

For example, ordinary people have a better life and money in their hands. You may think about eating something delicious, replacing the fence in your yard with a new one, repainting it with white paint, renovating your house and furnishing it with new furniture, and so on. In this way, you can meet your own requirements for the comfort of home.

But if this is for a lord...

The kingdom was overshadowed by the destruction of the kingdom, the royal family was uprooted, and the last heir to the royal family disappeared. As the lord of a region, he defended the last lands of the kingdom and called on the people to revolt, and in this way fought back against the evil forces that attacked the kingdom and achieved a great victory.

When the war ended, he had the strongest and greatest military power in the kingdom. He was championed by the noble council of the kingdom. In his domain, the common people had food, clothing, and houses, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, singing the praises of his great deeds, and there were statues of him in various towns, and troubadours sang his stories everywhere.

In his granary, the grain was too full and moldy, and the gold coins minted in the vault were covered with dust.

What else does he desire for at this moment?

In other words, even if he had no other ideas, the ordinary citizens in his realm, all his subordinates would want him to go further...

Baron Tyrosus never imagined that he would face this problem so soon.

When he left Hearthvale a year ago, he had spoken to Locke about it. Regarding the question of King Lordaeron, at that time he made it clear that he would not support Locke as the new King of Lordaeron. When he said those words in advance, he knew that Locke would develop to this point sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

There is no other reason, because the land occupied by Locke is undoubtedly the most suitable for development. But it was his continued support for the Chapel of Light's Wish that allowed Silver Dawn to expand its area of control.

Even now, the anxiety in Tairossos's heart could not be dissipated. Lordaeron had been without a king for several years, and the people had forgotten about the Minethil family.

Even though he had the heart to protect the throne of the Minethil royal family, the hearts of the people and the army had already turned away from the Mineshir family.

In fact, Locke could become king of Lordaeron at any time if he wanted to... Thinking of this, Baron Terosus smiled bitterly...

He had the support of the noble council of his country, as well as the support of the lower classes of the general public, and it was not a problem to become a king, even without the approval of the previous king.

It's just that the legitimacy is not strong...

But as far as Lordaeron is concerned, legitimacy has been broken...

"Hello, Lord Baron, you must have had a hard journey." Baron Terosus was awakened by the greeting, and he stopped to look at the place where the sound had come from.

The great sage Demitea was looking at her in a bright red bishopric, and she bowed to herself with a smile.

Baron Tairosos' face softened instantly, and he replied with a smile, "Oh, it's okay. I already knew that Firehand Valley was now led by Tyran, and he didn't bother me and my entourage. If it weren't for the monsters that stood in the way of Andorhar, I think I would have been having dinner with Locke right now. ”

Then he pointed to Demytia's bishopric and said, "This is... New military uniforms? ”

Tairosus was extremely uncomfortable with the sight of soldiers in bright red uniforms all over the way. At first, he thought that the soldiers were adjudicators subordinate to the judiciary.

"Yes, Lord Baron." Demitea looked at him with a smile, "I think we need to do this to distinguish ourselves from the Valley of the Hearth. ”

"It's also an allegory, a symbol of a new beginning."

"A new beginning...", Tyrosus kept chewing on the word, and then he smiled helplessly, "Alas, what a new beginning..."

"Great Sage, I'm in a hurry to find Locke, so I'm not here—" Before Tyrosus could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Demytia, who explained for Locke, "I understand, my lord. The Crusaders are reorganized, and there are many things that he needs to approve one by one, otherwise he would have come to meet you long ago. ”

This explanation was still very useful to Tairosus, and at first he was indeed a little unhappy that Locke did not come to greet him.

But this time, it wasn't that he became Demytia. Tyrosus had noticed that many people were waiting for him to talk to Demytia, and when they were done, a crowd rushed up and surrounded Demytia...

Curious about what the soldiers and clerics were doing, Tairosus didn't stop. The doubts in his heart made him desperate to find Locke to know the answer.

"Ha, Locke! You're busy. ”

When Tyrosus stepped into Locke's office, he was startled by the stacks of papers and parchment on the desk. Across from him, there were a few squires who sorted out the papers that filled the table for him.

"Well, it always has been." Locke replied casually, but he soon realized that something was wrong, and he looked up to see Baron Tyrosus's one-eyed smile at him.

"Oh, the Light, Baron Tarossos, I thought it was Claire."

"Ha, I'm sorry to interrupt your work." Tairossos was still smiling.

"It's okay, proper rest is also necessary."

Locke got up and ordered the attendants to pour their tea, then made room for the two. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Locke cut straight to the point.

"Lord Tairossos, once again I hope you will lead Silver Dawn to join the Scarlet Crusade."

The Scarlet Crusader was the name Locke had long had in mind, and it was the name he liked. He didn't want the Scarlet Crusade to repeat the mistakes of the last one, and that was the perfect name.

In the face of Locke's request, Tairosos was not surprised at all, he seemed to have been mentally prepared for a long time. He slowly picked up the teacup and said as he blew, "Scarlet Crusaders? What is the name of your new organization? Not bad, not bad, a good name. The color of blood symbolizes the red of blood, and the peace of Lordaeron today is paved with the blood of our soldiers. ”

"Good name. It's just..."

Tyrosus put down his glass of water, he smiled and shook his head to reject Locke, "Just like I said to you at the intersection of the Hearth Valley a year ago. Silver Dawn is not joining any other organization, because our mission makes it necessary for us to be independent. ”

"So, I can't agree to this. However, Silver Dawn and I are grateful for your continued logistical support of Silver Dawn for more than a year. Without your support, it is a question of whether the Silver Dawn will be able to stand firm in the Light's Wish. ”

"In the future, Silver Dawn and the Scarlet Crusaders will still be comrades in life and death. We are brothers, brothers and sisters in the Church of Light. ”

For Tairossos's explanation, Locke has long been prepared, so it's just a try, maybe he agreed?

"Lord Baron, after the Scarlet Crusader's inauguration ceremony has officially ended, I have hatched a battle plan against the demon that inhabits our Grand Crusader. At that time, I hope that you will be on the scene, as a witness, as an avenger to avenge the death of our Crusader soldiers under his hands, and to avenge the Grand Crusaders! ”

"Oh?" Tairossos's spirit was shocked, he put down the water glass in his hand, and asked seriously, "What about the battle plan?" ”

Rock shook his head, he explained, "Only a few people know the full process of this battle plan, and many of the participants just know what they are doing and don't know what it means. ”

"It's all about keeping it a secret, so that this demon won't find out about the plans against him."

"You may not know that this demon is not an ordinary demon, and his danger is far from as simple as we imagined."

"Alright then," said Tyrossos, spreading his hands, "against this demon lurking among us, my sword has long wanted to drink his blood. ”

After the two things were said, the scene fell into an embarrassing situation.

Neither of them spoke, and Tyrosus was thinking about how to ask the questions he was worried about on the way here. Locke also knew what Tairossos was going to ask, but he was also thinking about how to answer it.

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

"Locke," Tyrosus interrupted the embarrassing scene for a long time, and he continued after a moment's thought, "I know where you are now, and you must have heard some advice from you and.... Some immature ideas. ”

"These thoughts will breed some undesirable thoughts, and I personally still think that the influence of the Minethil family has not completely disappeared in this land."

"Although you have the support of the noble council, the noble council does not represent the thoughts of the lords in the south of the kingdom. Moreover, other kingdoms will also have bad thoughts about it. Originally, Terosos was just a random excuse to stop Locke's thoughts on the throne, but this became more and more straightforward, and he continued, "The lords of the south, there is still hope for the Minethil family, and they will not recognize you as the new king of Lordaeron, even if I admit you. ”

"At that time, there will be another civil strife in Lordaeron. This must be an unbearable pain for our kingdom. ”

"So, I hope you'll wait," Terosus looked at Locke expectantly, "and when the Minethil family's influence is at its lowest, the lords of the south will support you as the new king." ”
