When Sharlayan flew to the temporary embassy of Quel'Thalas in Stannbride, he could clearly feel the change in the atmosphere of the town that temporarily served as the capital of Alterac.
During the reign of Lordaeron and the Syndicate, the atmosphere in Stannblad was very oppressive. Passers-by on the street always looked cautious and did not even dare to let go of their voices and speak loudly.
Before Sarlayan and others came to Steinblade's Backlight Blade to do some investigation.
After being forcibly annexed by Lordaeron, most of the people of the original Kingdom of Alterac had a very unhappy life.
In their own words, the Alterac people lived like inherently inferior second-class citizens under the rule of Lordaeron.
Due to the syndicate's continuous assassination operations, the mayor of Steinbred changed every six months on average.
The native people of Steinblad have no hope that these precarious mayors will treat them sincerely. It would be great if the poor mayor can save his life from the syndicate's black hands.
After Yin Seton took over Steinbred, he overthrew the behind-the-scenes reign of terror implemented by the Syndicate and gradually restored the town's daily life to normal.
Normal life may sound like a matter of course to many people, but this is not the case for Steinblade... and even for the residents of the entire Alterac Snow Mountains.
Except for the soft-headed bitch who is used to kneeling and can't stand up, no one wants to be a second-class citizen who suffers discrimination.
Steinblade was restored, and the Kingdom of Alterac, which had been dead for six years, was reborn.
The people of Alterac, who had been oppressed for six full years, could finally stand up and cheer for their homeland without fear of being persecuted by Lordaeron and the Syndicate.
It was undoubtedly a good thing to get rid of slavery and regain a new life, but in Sarlayan's view, once they were liberated, the Alterac people who had accumulated too many negative emotions in the past six years seemed to have a tendency to overdo it.
On the way back to the temporary embassy in Quel'Thalas after entering the town, Sarlayan heard more than once the Alterac people standing and talking on the roadside shouting extreme slogans about counterattacking Lordaeron.
"It's not that I can't understand their feelings."
Valeera shrugged and said, "But at this juncture, the boiling public opinion is a bit like adding fuel to the fire."
"Perhaps because of the experience of being away from home over the years, Yin Seton is used to listening to the voices of the people, and he pays too much attention to the appeals of the people."
Although saying this may offend some people, Sarlayan still thinks that what the barrage said makes sense.
Because the channels for obtaining intelligence are limited, even in the modern world where the barrage is located, their people can still be said to be ignorant, and many people can easily be influenced by certain mouthpieces that control public opinion.
As a ruler, it is indeed necessary to listen to the voices of the people, but you cannot govern the country entirely according to the people's suggestions.
Because the vast majority of keyboard politicians don’t know what to do to benefit the country, and even if they know, they will pretend they don’t know. They only think about how to seek personal interests, and their rhythm is so fast.
In barrage terms, this is called the butt deciding the head.
A good ruler cannot listen to the voices of any party and arbitrarily regard the loudest opinions as the general public opinion.
To put it simply, it is not advisable to allocate according to the situation.
Under the careful instruction of King Zeon, Yin Seton showed extraordinary abilities at a young age. However, he was still very young after all and lacked practical experience in governing the country. If he was not careful, he would be led into a ditch.
The restoration of Alterac was short-lived, and the officials appointed by Yin Seton were all selected from the original Alterac nobles, and they had their own positions.
The power of Lordaeron is still engraved in the hearts of many nobles, and they are subconsciously afraid that Lordaeron will use all its strength to retaliate against Alterac.
Driven by this fear, the first thing that the restless nobles thought of was to get rid of this threat.
Under the secret instigation of these nobles, the people of Alterac who had the same position for different reasons took to the streets to speak out.
They tried to use the power of the Anti-Lordaeron Alliance to completely wipe Lordaeron from the territory of Azeroth.
Reunited after a long absence, Tinagosa immediately threw herself into Sharlayan's arms, climbed onto his broad shoulders with both hands and feet, and sat down on her royal throne without moving.
In the process of thinking, Sarlayan subconsciously helped little Tina smooth her hair. Under Valeela's unkind glare, Tina half-squinted her eyes as if she didn't see it, enjoying Sarlayan's intimate contact.
"Tsk~"
Valeera knew very well that the relationship between Sarlayan and Tina was a very pure brother-sister relationship, which was fundamentally different from Jaina who regarded Sarlayan as her "loving brother".
But of course there was a reason why Valeela was jokingly called a jealous person by the barrage. She was always highly wary of women who were active around Sarlayan, and Tina was no exception.
Sharlayan didn't notice the eye contact between Valeera and Tinargosa. He was thinking about how to persuade Yin Seton to retreat while the anti-Lordaeron alliance was advancing.
"Valila, how is the situation on the Western Front?"
Valeela retracted her eyes and glared at Tina and explained: "It's almost as you predicted. The overall battle situation has not changed much. It's just a tug of war in the plains. No one can overwhelm the other."
"But after a period of stalemate, the huge logistical pressure faced by the Lordaeron army gradually surfaced."
"If the supply line situation in the Lake District of Lordamre cannot be improved, Mograine's army will have a food crisis within one month at the latest."
"Um……"
Sarlayan frowned and weighed it, then suddenly changed the subject.
"How is Merry? Has he made any breakthroughs in his research on Trollbane's battle ax?"
Valeela shook her head: "Who knows, he has been locking himself in the laboratory. Neither Tina nor I can understand his research, so naturally we cannot confirm his progress."
Suddenly an idea came to her mind, and Valeera asked in surprise: "Could it be that you are planning to let Merry persuade Dalaran to stop?"
Sarlayan smiled noncommittally: "We haven't said anything about this yet. Let's solve the current problem first."
The situation in Alterac is very complicated now.
Because Terenas was eager to save the face of Menethil's royal family, Sharlayan could not let him taste the sweetness on the battlefield, lest it provoke a stronger counterattack from Lordaeron.
But on the other hand, the Anti-Lordaeron Alliance cannot be allowed to completely defeat Mograine's army, so as not to further encourage the counterattack of Alterac and other countries.
After some preliminary planning, Sharlayan planned a three-pronged approach to persuade Dalaran to reduce its pressure on Lordaeron's food routes.
The first tube is Ronin, the second tube is Jaina, and the third tube is Meri.
But there's no need to worry about the Dalaran matter, it can be resolved within a month.
The top priority is to find a way to persuade Yin Seton to suppress the extremely radical voices in Alterac, and not to be carried away by those who loudly call for the destruction of Lordaeron and revenge.
Early the next morning, Sarlayan put on a more respectable dress and went alone to the palace of the Alterac royal family - the original Steinblade Town Hall.
After Duke Faculest was arrested, a large number of nobles lobbied Yinseton one after another, suggesting that he completely remove the Faculest family who intended to rebel and convert Faculest Castle into a temporary palace.
These nobles who tried to show their loyalty after jumping back made Yin Seton see what it means to be pushed down by the wall and what it means to be a chameleon without moral integrity.
Yin Seton is not that easy to fool around. He knows that these people are worried that if Duke Faculest comes back, he will take bloody revenge on them for defecting in battle.
Yin Seton did not adopt the strong suggestions of the nobles and imprisoned Duke Faculest, who was still seriously injured, in prison, but he was never convicted.
Everyone knows that Steinblade is only a temporary capital. After the invasion of Lordaeron is repelled, Yinseton will definitely send troops to snatch the lost royal city of Alterac from the ogres. There is no need to spend money here. Manpower and material resources were used to build the palace.
Steinbred is just a small town, and the town hall is not large in size. As soon as Sarlayan entered the hall, he heard noisy quarrels, just like a haggling market.
Under the guidance of Yin Seton's confidants, Sarlayan pushed through the crowd blocking the way and came to Yin Seton's temporary office.
"哐~"
After the office door was closed, the noise outside the door weakened significantly, and Sarlayan vaguely felt the arcane fluctuations.
'Soundproof barrier? '
When Sarlayan entered the office, Yin Seton was still busy writing. There were very obvious dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest recently.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Yin Seton raised his head and smiled apologetically at Sarlayan.
"Earl of Deep Shadow, please wait a moment and let me handle this memorial first."
Sarlayan smiled and nodded obediently, but in his heart he felt a little grumpy at Yin Seton's excessive diligence.
'This kind of work intensity... this kid won't die suddenly at his desk at a young age, right? '
