Dividing the cake is also a complex science, everyone wants to get a large enough piece of the cake, but the cake is only that big, who to share it with, how much, whether it will affect the balance between forces after dividing it, etc.

Many times the war is not very complicated, and the real headache is the post-war problem.

For Leo, all kinds of negotiating will stir his head up, because he is not good at this kind of thing, but fortunately, with Scarlett, the paladin can deal with these problems perfectly.

Personal strength Scarlett and Leo are not on the same level at all, but when it comes to the level of government affairs, Leo is far inferior to the female paladin who has been exposed to such affairs since childhood.

Pushing the negotiations with Varian, Salgas and others to Scarlett does not mean that Leo will be able to do nothing, and he has a lot of things to arrange now.

Amalen stood in front of Leo with several officers of the Kingdom of Aratho, quietly awaiting his orders, while Leo reclined on a chaise longue with his eyes half-closed, his hands pressed gently on his shoulders, and Manolos, who carried the blood-colored spear, and Dragonakos, who was wandering in the world, were separated from each other.

Although this is the royal palace of Riptide Castle, and there are Arasso's palace guards outside and the dragon blood guards led by Verry to guard them tightly, Leo still has not slackened at all, and now he is in the cultivation period and it is not suitable to do anything with others, and after the battle in Black Rock Mountain, he does not know if there is an enemy in the dark to spy on him, and he is careful about his own safety.

Patsonia kept saying that someone in the shadows was spying on his every move, and although she didn't find the other person, Leo didn't doubt her judgment.

"Amarron." After waiting for a long time, Leo finally opened his mouth, and Amaron and several other officers immediately raised their full spirits, "Is there a problem with the dispatch of the navy?" ”

"Lord Marshal, the naval army has been dispatched, and the two new islands that have appeared in accordance with the position you mentioned have been sent to occupy them in time, and the fleet has not had any accidents except for the attack of the fishmen on the way."

The Fish-Man attack was only a minor problem, and the Riptide Castle Navy to the two new islands was trained by the Kurtiras Navy anyway, and even if they were new recruits, they were enough to deal with the Fish-Men, and Leo was not worried about this, he was worried about whether Alaso's soldiers would be able to gain a foothold on those two desolate islands.

The two new islands were all formed by the cooling of hot lava, and there was no vegetation on them, except for the cold, hard rock, which was hard, cold rock, and it was not easy to gain a foothold in such places. However, Leo felt that this was also a kind of training for the soldiers, and if there was no shortage of food, clothing, and fresh water, there was no need for those who could not stand it to continue to stay in the naval system that would inevitably be reused.

"Have you shipped all the materials needed to develop the new island?"

The area of the two new islands is huge, and together they are worth half of the Arathi Heights, which shows how terrifying the amount of lava that the Flame Demon has accumulated for many years in the Blackstone Mountain is. It is impossible not to develop two islands of this size, and if they are allowed to be too bare, it will inevitably require the transportation of a huge amount of supplies, some of which must be purchased through goblins and some of which will be solved by Arathas himself.

"The kingdom has called up enough ships to transport all kinds of supplies such as soil, plants, and animals, and it is believed that the development of the new island will begin to take shape in two months."

It was still Amaron who answered Leo, a female warrior with outstanding command skills who had never discounted Leo and Scarlett's orders since she joined the Lothar family, and she did not understand Leo's order to transport certain beasts to join the development of the new island, but she still carried it out perfectly.

Amaron is a soldier, the army is not a place to talk about surnames and human rights, there is only one kind of person who is most needed, that is, soldiers who obey orders, and she will naturally gain Leo's trust quickly by treating orders issued by her superiors with this standard.

"Lord Marshal, according to the new news from the sailors stationed on the new island, several druids of the Cenarion Council seem to be very interested in your plan to develop the new island, and they want to stay on the new island for a while, what do you think about it?"

The people of the Cenarion Council?

Leo opened his eyes, and Vandal. The news of the deer helmet is quite well-informed, and it has only taken a few days since the establishment of the new island to the present, and the Senarion Council has reacted, and the efficiency is indeed high enough. It's just Vandal this guy...... Forget it, just watch it and you'll be fine.

"The people of the Cenarion Council will let them live if they want to stay there to help, and it just so happens that the druid's natural spells are very useful for the growth of plants and trees, and the time it takes for us to develop a new island will be shortened a lot with them."

Others are willing to help, Leo naturally will not push the druids out, not to mention that refusing the other party will make Vandal, who expressed goodwill to Araso, unable to come to the stage, thus giving him an excuse to fight evil, and the druid's help in developing the new island alone cannot be refused by Leo.

"The town of Nanhai has sent emissaries to Fort Riptide, and they have a lot of opinions about us sending troops to enter and develop the new island."

The protest of Nanhai Town has long been expected by everyone, but the pace of Arasuo's expansion will not change because of small protests, not to mention Leo and even Amaron's protest against them seriously, unless the Kingdom of Aratao is willing to stop there, expansion is inevitable, so that friction with Nanhai Town will inevitably occur.

"Leave them alone, just send someone to deal with it, the wetlands will not be a problem at all if Ironforge and Stormwind do not hinder us, but it is not the center of our expansion, send some people to collect the resources that can be collected, and first take the Hillsbrad Hills into your pocket."

With a wave of his hand, Leo motioned for Amalen to say the next thing.

To be honest, Leo is not greedy for the resources of wetlands, who doesn't want such a large area? But the problem is that there is Grimbaatar there, Grimbaatar of Deathwing lurking and secretly creating the Twilight Dragon, Leo doesn't want to invest too much in the wetlands before the crazy black dragon who wants to destroy the world is launched, because once the upper-stream boulder dam bursts, the wetland will become an ocean, and as much as Aratholl puts in, it will be washed away, and the Boulder Dam will burst when Deathwing is activated.

Of course, Leo can also gather a group of people to stop Deathwing, but the possibility of this kind of thing happening is too low, if Alexta and other four-line dragon kings don't make a move to stop Deathwing, Leo can't do it, and how can Stormwind City Rashor take advantage of the situation without Deathwing?

"The next thing is about the Silver Crusade, and Sir Fording has sent word that the situation in the Plaguelands is deteriorating. Although the Scourge was taken to Naxxramas in the Battle of Tyre, their threat became even greater. The castle of Madenhold has fallen, and Ethanlien and the Scarlet Crusaders loyal to him have become lackeys of the Scourge Legion, which has joined Araki of Andorhar in flanking the Withering Legion of the Forsaken, and Nathanos has no time to deal with them. Rivendell of Strathorm led the men to guard the Northland Outpost Tower, and took control of Quellins and Zumashar with heavy troops, severing the blood elves' connection with the Plaguelands, and now the Silver Crusade's control is shrinking in the Scourge attack. ”

This is bad news, Leo frowned as he listened.

It stands to reason that the Scourge should be in decline after the loss of the Fortress of Naxxramas, but the fact is the complete opposite, the Silver Crusaders and other forces that should have taken advantage of the counterattack only achieved some results in the early stage of the war, and in the subsequent battle, although they were not defeated, they also spit out the fruits of victory one by one under the attack of the other party.

There is only one reason for this anomaly - the Scourge Legion's Supreme Commander in the Plaguelands has been replaced.

When Kel'thugad was in charge of Naxxramas, the Great Lich was in charge of the Plaguelands, and now Kel'thugad was hiding somewhere to recuperate, and Mograine, who commanded the Knights of the Black Blade, took his place.

Compared to Kel'thugad, the Ash Lord, who built the Scarlet Crusade and led them to victory, was significantly more professional in warfare, and the completely depraved Mograine was not a 10,000-year-old house like Kel'thugad, and as the commander of the army, he struck when it was time to strike, and he and the Knights of the Black Blade appeared in the most intense battles.

In the war against the Scourge army that did not know that fatigue had the numerical advantage, even if there was a strong man like Fordin, the Silver Crusade still had to retreat and retreat, if it weren't for the blood elves dragging Stratholme's Rivendell, if it weren't for the goblins participating in the war in the Plaguelands, the situation in the Plaguelands would have been rotten long ago.

However, now Fording has sent a message to Fort Riptide for help, and it is inferred that the Silver Cross is almost unable to survive under the attack of the Knights of the Black Blade.

"It's really troublesome, the haunting Scourge, at this time he ran out to make some fun."

Leo rubbed his eyebrows, and the waves of unevenness rose again and again, thinking that he had robbed Naxxramas of the Hormet Legion of the Kel'thugad Scourge, but he didn't expect a Mograine to come, and the situation in the Plague Lands not only did not improve, but slid towards a bad situation.

"Write back to Fordin, and ask him to lead the Silver Crusade for a few days, and Scarlett and I will send reinforcements to Tyr soon."

Amaron looked at Leo with some concern, she thought for a moment and then reminded: "Lord Marshal, we are going to develop a new island, Treasure Bay is also at war, the plan to attack the Isle of Atonement has been put on the agenda, and there are also enough people in the country to defend and rebuild, and there is no army to send now, unless Naxxramas is withdrawn." ”

Having said so much, Amaron actually means that Alatho's stall is too large, and the army can no longer keep up with the pace of the kingdom's expansion.

No soldiers!

Leo was stunned, Alatao didn't have enough troops to send, so how to support the Silver Crusade who were fighting the Scourge in the Plaguelands?

A big problem was in front of Leo.
