Chapter 945: What to panic about
When a cat catches a mouse, it sometimes does not eat it directly, but plays until the mouse is exhausted before enjoying a good meal.
If Sargeras thinks of himself as a cat, then in his eyes Leo and the others are the mouse that he caught, the cat wants to play with the mouse, no matter how angry the mouse is, no matter how much it struggles, it is useless, just like the words he left when he left - the world will be destroyed.
Bang!
The panic of the nobles of the kingdom made Leo slap the table, and an angry reprimand sounded in the main hall of the Riptide Castle Palace: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and it is unknown who will kill the deer, what are you panicking about?" ”
Leo slapped the table in anger, this scene is rare, but it's a pity that no one is in the mood to pay attention to this now. The Burning Legion will arrive at some point in the future, and the news that Leo has brought back has alarmed the nobles of the kingdom who know about it.
They know the horror of the Burning Legion, and they also understand the strength of the Burning Legion, thinking that the seven kingdoms of mankind were still at their peak and could not compete with them, even the magical capital of Dalaran could not stop Akmund from pinching, and the current human race is far inferior to back then, once the Burning Legion comes, what can be used to resist?
It's not that the nobles are flustered, it's not that their psychological quality is not up to par, it's that the news came too suddenly and too terrifyingly.
The silence in the main hall made Leo frown, now the hall is all the elite of the kingdom of Arasuo, in comparison, they belong to the more capable group of people among the nobles of the kingdom, how can they expect others to remain calm when they are so flustered?
Leo's gaze swept over Edlaide, and Leo was glad that the chief minister of the kingdom had not lost his proportions, although his face was very ugly, but from his thoughtful eyes, Leo could see that Edlaide was thinking about how to deal with it.
To be honest, Leo was reluctant to come to this council hall to summon the ministers of the kingdom, and if it weren't for Scarlett's current situation that was not suitable for meeting with outsiders, he would not have appeared at all.
Arasu's at this time is very different from when Scarlett first took over Riptide Castle.
Thinking that Scarlett recaptured Riptide Castle with the help of Leo, the kingdom at that time was in turmoil, cleaning up the mess left by the Torbain family externally, and there was a group of nobles who disobeyed Scarlett internally, and the so-called internal and external troubles were nothing more than that.
Since ancient times, the Lord is less than the country's doubts. Scarlett has been practicing in the Holy Light Cathedral all year round, although she is the only descendant of the Lothar family, but she has no prestige in the kingdom of Araso, except for the people of the Lothar family who will obey her orders, how many other nobles really take her seriously?
Without prestige, your subordinates will naturally not listen to you, and when the situation in the country is calm, you can slowly establish your own prestige, but at that time, the situation in Alaso was so dangerous that even the royal city was breached, how could there be time for Scarlett to slowly subdue the people?
Forced by the situation, Leo had to stand up and use thunderous means to clean up all the disobedient and gather the power of the kingdom in one place.
This had an immediate effect, and the Lothar family, dominated by Scarlett, took control of the kingdom in the shortest possible time, but this made Leo hated by many.
The reason why Leo was able to command the people of the Lothar family in the first place was not that Edlaide deliberately pushed him to the forefront of the storm and used his hand to eradicate the disobedient.
It can be said that Leo is full of enemies among the Arasso nobles.
Leo knew all of this, and yet he did it anyway.
Why?
Not for Scarlett yet.
The kingdom of Araso needs to be purged, and it is inevitable to offend people, but Scarlett is a descendant of the Lothar family, and the nobles are inextricably linked, who is not a lot of relatives of the seven aunts and eight aunts, and even many people are still related to the Lothar family, although this blood connection has been thinned to the point of negligibility, but who can guarantee that no one will talk about this?
If someone comes to intercede, Scarlett will be in a dilemma - what if someone else comes to ask for it; If you don't sell favors, you won't be able to run away from the reputation of being mean and unkind.
Therefore, Scarlett can't come out to be this villain, and the rest of the Lothar family doesn't have this ability, who else can Leo find if he doesn't stand up at this time?
You must know that he is an outsider, and he has no connection with any of the nobles of the Alaso Kingdom, and no one can trust him if he comes forward, and he can do many things that are inconvenient for others to do without scruples, such as the large number of stabbing nobles of the kingdom who made a lot of noise but couldn't get rid of it.
If Scarlett sings about red face, Leo sings about black face.
With the harshness of Leo's administration, Scarlett wants to buy people's hearts and make the nobles work for her after coming to power.
Leo wouldn't say it to Scarlett, Edlaide wouldn't say it, and no one else would say it.
Leo didn't care what the nobles thought of him, because he wasn't the master of the kingdom, Scarlett was.
This is also the reason why Leo appeared in many affairs of the kingdom at the beginning of Scarlett's entry into Riptide Castle, and after Scarlett became Queen Araso, he gradually faded out, these are things that can only be understood and cannot be spoken, but anyone with a little brain can understand, with the shrewdness of the nobles, how can they not see it?
It's just that what if you understand it, after Scarlett took over as queen, Arasu's national strength is steaming, Scarlett's prestige has also increased, and Leo's strength has continued to leap, from legend to epic, from epic to legend, and finally he has become a demigod and an unshakable existence in the kingdom of Arasuo, who dares to mention the events of the year?
Fortunately, Leo has rarely interfered in the affairs of the kingdom, and the nobles have gradually extinguished their desire for revenge, and they have slowly chosen their surnames to forget the feeling of panic in their hearts when Leo was in charge.
Today, in this great hall, that trembling feeling is revisited.
"Look at you, how can you look like a prince of the kingdom." Leo had a cold face, although the nobles in the council hall were not convinced, but no one dared to say more because of his might, "Don't think I don't know what you think, you think it's the Burning Legion, we can't fight it, right?" You don't want to think about it, can't we fight it if we can't fight it? Are the Burning Legions so strong that we let them slaughter? A bunch of idiots! ”
If it weren't for the war of natural disasters and the war with the orcs and the Burning Legion, most of the human elite would not have been able to occupy a high position with their abilities.
The thought of leading these crooked melons and cracked dates to fight the Burning Legion under the command of Sargeras gave Leo a headache.
Leo is not on good terms with the nobles in the kingdom, although it is forced by the situation, it is not a good thing to make too much trouble, seeing that the atmosphere in the hall is stiff, Edlaide hurriedly stood up.
"Fighting the Burning Legion requires both strong force and stable logistics, a stable rear is a guarantee of victory, and the stability of the kingdom itself is very necessary no matter what the situation is."
As he spoke, Edlaide glanced at the nobles at the head of the head, and some of the reactions were quick to come to their senses.
Going to the front line to fight demons, with their skills is not enough for others to pinch with one hand, they can't match Leo at this point, but when it comes to managing the kingdom and drawing materials and manpower, Leo, a layman, can't compare with them. Leo summoned them today, not to let them go to the front line to fight the demons, but to tell them to be ready to enter a state of war at any time in the shortest possible time. It's not a difficult thing for them to mess up, no wonder Leo will give them a look.
"Stable rear? Hmph, I'm afraid that some people won't even be able to do this little thing. Since it was a black face, Leo naturally wouldn't give these people a good look, he looked at Edlaide and ordered, "You stand up and speak, I will leave the affairs of the kingdom's war preparedness to you, you keep an eye on me, if someone dares to slack off, I won't take his life seriously if this guy takes other people's surnames seriously." ”
Fighting against the Burning Legion is a big deal, once defeated, the whole world will be destroyed by the demon army led by Sargeras, and in this kind of thing, there are still slippery guys, Leo has one to kill one and two to kill a pair, you don't want to kill others.
"I will personally keep an eye on the preparations for war, and I am sure that all the adults present will also do their best."
Edlaide is saying that if someone doesn't do a good job in preparing for the Burning Legion, he doesn't need Leo to find it, and he will dispose of the guy who committed the crime. When talking about favors and scoring points, not everything can be revealed with favors.
Leo waved his hand to signal that the matter was settled, and he got up and walked out of the hall, and when he was about to step out of the main hall, he turned around again and said to the ministers of the kingdom: "I don't want to hear any rumors outside, the kingdom still needs stability. ”
It is necessary to prepare for war and gather enough supplies, the stability of the situation in the kingdom is the best guarantee, and no one will spread such news without special reminders from Leo.
"My lord, when do you think the Burning Legion will come?"
Verry followed behind Leo, and stopped talking several times, seeing that Leo was about to step on the teleportation array, he finally couldn't hold back and asked the question in his heart.
Turning his head to look at the captain of his own guard, he found that even he had a trace of panic on his face, and Leo couldn't help but sigh.
Before the demons of the Burning Legion arrived, the people on their side panicked one by one, wasn't this just as Sargeras intended?
"Verry, calm down." Leo looked at Verry with a serious face, "Instead of panicking, it's better to work hard to improve your strength, and you have a better chance of survival." ”
When Leo said this, Verry was immediately ashamed.
He Veri is the captain of Leo's personal guard, and it took Leo a lot of effort to get to where he is today, as the captain, why is he so unbreathable, how different is this from the nobles in the hall who are usually despised by him?
"The Dragon's Blood Guard's training and the safety of the palace will be left to you, I have to go to Stormwind to see Scarlett."
