"Carlos, you are playing with fire. The hatred between us and the trolls can last for thousands of years. Those green-skinned bastards are not worthy of trust. Now you are stronger than them and subdued them with your strength. Wait until they have the strength to resist. , will definitely stab you in the back, painfully and severely. Don’t forget, what is the purpose of the earliest construction of this Keldaron Castle? Starting from your grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather, the Barov family has stepped on the trolls The corpse started."
As the lord of Hearthglen, Tirion Fordring always has some privileges, so while Uther and the others are still busy preparing for the war, Fording can enjoy the coolness of the summer resort of Caer Dalon. .
Although there was no hustle and bustle on the shores of Lake Keldaron this year due to the previous war with the orc tribe, the marriage of Carlos Barov and Calia Menethil gave the noble lords enough excuses.
To hell with post-war relief and production reconstruction, the heroes of the Alliance are getting married!
To hell with the people who only ask for tax cuts and relief, the marriage between two powerful families, those who don't want to go are all fake nobles!
To hell with this hot weather in July, Keldaron, here I come!
A week before the scheduled wedding, Carlos was caught off guard by the sudden influx of guests.
The real big shots were busy maintaining their positions of power. Originally, the wedding was a bit sudden, and less than one-third of Carlos's "friends" gave a clear reply to the invitation. For example, most of the colleagues in the Knights of the Silver Hand have gone to the battlefield in the south. The only ones who remain in Lordaeron are Tirion Fordring and Uther. However, Uther, as the most shining medal on Terenas' chest, was still busy day and night with the reorganization of the troops.
Therefore, the arrival of Tirion Fording made Carlos very happy.
"Tirion, are you telling a joke or are you trying to test me on purpose? Do you really not see the benefits of Zumazhar, Splitting the Trolls?"
Not far away, Lake Keldaron was sparkling, and the breeze was blowing. It was so comfortable that you didn't want to open your eyes. Carlos took out the fine wine from the bucket with floating ice cubes, opened the cork of the bottle, and poured some wine into it. Old friends and myself.
"It's awesome. I haven't had this kind of wine all to myself for a long time. Those gangsters are very good at fighting, and they are also very merciless in cheating their bosses. Hearthglen sent some condolences, and I haven't even received them yet." When you see this shadow, it’s gone.”
Tirion Fordring seemed to be complaining that the young paladins of the Silver Hand were unkind, but Carlos could hear the fatherly showoff.
"Drink more if you like. In fact, I haven't eaten or drank anything good for a long time. People only know that we won, but they don't know how lucky we were to win."
"I say Carlos, don't avoid the topic, and don't talk about politics in such a cryptic way. Aren't we friends who have died?"
Tirion said with some dissatisfaction, snatched the bottle from Carlos and refilled himself.
"Tirion, we all know how terrible the reincarnation of hatred is, but we all understand the lesser of two evils. Compared with the orcs, the trolls are as docile as the little rabbit you gave to Tyran."
Carlos looked at the wine bottle in Tirion's hand and chose to open a new one.
"I heard some wind, some bad news."
Tirion hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak out.
"What?"
"Reckoning."
"Um?"
"Gilneas has begun to liquidate the minority. The noble lords who supported Zeon suffered heavy losses in the war. The nearly thirty years of pioneering achievements in Silverpine Forest were all destroyed in more than a year of war. They began to liquidate those nobles who had not contributed. ."
Listening to this, Carlos was silent for a moment, and finally just clinked a glass with Tirion.
"There is also an undercurrent in Lordaeron. Someone has contacted me privately, asking Hearthglen to express its position, and asking me to stand on their side."
"What do they want to do?"
"The kingdom is the king, and the benefits belong to everyone. What else can you get? If you want benefits, you need rewards. For these people, the war is over, and it's time to enjoy the fruits of victory."
In just a few words, Tirion's bottle of wine was almost empty.
"So someone is going to use Zumashal's trolls to attack me?"
Carlos finally understood what Tirion meant by going around in a big circle.
"If it's okay just because of the trolls, the nobles of Stratholme won't attack you because of the trolls. It's Hilbrad. I don't know who exposed the matter. It was you who ruined the good things of those people. "
"A good thing, how can it be that good? Are the people of Hillblade paying such a heavy price for the war just to let these people get benefits?"
Carlos' deep voice contained suppressed anger.
After so many years, Carlos has long understood the truth that there is no eternal friendship, only common interests.
Isn’t the tragedy of the Barov family in another world in my mind caused by the same cause? Aren't they sacrificed just to unite the majority? Are all your hard efforts just in vain?
Tirion Fordring didn't know what Carlos was feeling, but he saw that the energy overflowing around him gathered into a low pressure, and even the noisy wind stopped playing.
"That's why I came here because of Archbishop Fao's wishes. You don't have to be too angry. Those short-sighted guys will never succeed. With the support of His Majesty Terenas and the support of Archbishop Fao, they can't even think of ruining your wedding. "
Tirion Fordring said firmly.
Ah~~~~Huh? !
Carlos' brain suddenly short-circuited.
"Those guys are trying to launch an attack on your wedding, forcing you to support them, trying to make Alterac withdraw from the Southern Expedition, so that they can attack Gilneas, Stromgarde, and Lordaeron at the same time, and let our previous efforts Become a joke.”
That's not it……
"The orcs are our biggest enemy, and the tribe is ultimately a serious threat to the alliance. The southern expedition is inevitable."
Lafayette, it seems we are talking about different things! ! !
For a moment, Carlos was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
"As long as you and His Majesty Terenas do not waver, the turmoil in Gilneas will not affect Marshal Lothar on the other side of the Palatine Gulf. I feel relieved when I see your attitude. Don't worry, Keldaron is you after all. I will go find someone else to talk to, and there will be no problem with your wedding."
Tirion Fordring suddenly became energetic, as if the paladin who was worrying about the country and the people just now was not him.
You have finished speaking, what else can I say...
Only now did Carlos really understand what this idiot Tirion Fordring wanted to do.
It was simply the rise of the anti-war faction in Lordaeron, who wanted to cause trouble at his wedding, and used political kidnapping to force Alterac and the Barov family to give up their support for the southern expedition.
You talked about something that can be explained clearly in one sentence or three lines for so long, which made me think that Terenas had changed his mind.
Can I beat you up?
Carlos couldn't help but take deep breaths to calm his turbulent heart, and struggled to look away from the bottle - he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back the bottle and smash it on Tirion Fordring's head. .
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"..."
"..."
The two men suddenly had no topic to talk about and were drinking alone on the banks of the beautiful Keldaron Lake. They had no idea that the discussion about their topic was in full swing at the Lakeside Castle in Keldaron.
"Jaina, who do you think is more powerful, Lord Fording or His Highness Carlos?"
"have no idea."
"Gianna, how tall do you think His Highness Carlos is?"
"I don't know. Anyway, the two of us combined must be taller than him."
"Gianna, you said... if... that... if..."
"Kalia, you are so annoying!"
Gianna was lying on the bed without any image, her waist was flashing and she became depressed when she heard the word Carlos, while Caliya never left Carlos, which made the magical girl feel very uncomfortable.
"Last question."
"You ask."
"I think His Highness Carlos is the most handsome noble I have ever seen, but they say Kael'thas is also handsome. I have never seen Kael'thas, but you have. Tell me about the two of them. Who is more handsome?"
Gianna asked the sky speechlessly, Jia Liya, can you chat?
If you don’t know how, I can teach you!
(This chapter seems to be a bit confusing, because I forced it to break. The black dragon sister you want will arrive on the battlefield in 30 seconds.)
