Daelin looked at Tess Greymane gently, his hand already reaching into his pocket to search for the greeting gift, while Carlos was in a daze.
Carlos' whole body went numb when the half-grown girl called him uncle.
So I am already old!
Youth is gone just after half of it, where has the time gone?
Well, Carlos has never seen this little girl, but obviously Dai Lin has.
Since Daelin didn't question Tess Greymane's identity, he probably wasn't a fake.
The question is what is this girl doing here.
It is very dangerous for a large ship to cross the Biting Reef. Only the old sailors of Gilneas know the so-called "secret route". Outsiders who want to enter and exit the port can usually only take a small boat at high tide.
It is known that Tess came in a boat, so it is not difficult to infer that she is definitely not a messenger sent by her father.
This girl is either hiding something or holding it back.
Carlos thinks it's most likely the former.
Dai Lin, a daughter-in-law, smiled and gave his little niece Tess an exquisite nautical compass. He didn't ask what Tess was doing there. The anxious little girl kept looking at Carlos.
But what kind of person is Carlos? A strong man who fought all the way from Wenshanhuihai, a master who doesn't speak human words, and Dai Lin's best friend.
So the two of them chatted around, not talking about Gilneas, and finally broke through Tess Greymane's defense.
"Uncles, please save Lord Darius!"
Dai Lin turned his head and glanced at Carlos, with a look of surprise on his face, while Carlos was stunned.
Darius, who is it?
"What happened to Crowley?"
Seeing that Carlos was silent, Dai Lin thought for a while and took the initiative to take up the conversation.
oh!
Darius Crowley!
Gilneas God of War, I just remembered his full name.
Carlos understood instantly.
"Lord Darius is preparing for a coup. Only Carlos... and Uncle Dailin can save him now."
"!!!"
"???"
Carlos and Dailin both tactically leaned back and turned to look at each other.
What's going on here?
Fortunately, as the royal family of Gilneas, the Greymane family has a very good family education. Although Tess made a shocking start, she finally made it clear what happened.
Darius Crowley is the pillar of the country, a good general that Genn Greymane does not deserve.
In a sense, the Kingdom of Gilneas is a fragmented country, and local lords have very high autonomy. The Greymane family is only the largest landowner in Gilneas.
Under Jean Greymane, there are also noble lords such as Vincent Godfrey, Woden Walden, Ashbury, and Darius Crowley.
Genn Greymane's withdrawal from the Alliance was not approved by all the Gilnean nobles. Instead, he used the authority of the king to force it forward. The land unilaterally given up by Gilneas was precisely the land awarded to Darius Crowley.
In this way, Darius Crowley did not rebel.
To build the Greymane Wall, Gilneas had nationwide crowdfunding. Darius Cross lost the merit reward of the Second Orc War, but he still contributed his share of the money.
In this way, Darius Crowley still did not rebel.
When the Undead Scourge struck, Prince Lim Greymane led the Royal Guards of Gilneas and the army of Lord Vincent Godfrey of the East as the main force to defend the Greymane Wall. Darius Crowley served as the leader of the Southern Territory. However, the lord took the initiative to lead his soldiers away from Greymane Wall to gather and protect the Gilneans outside the wall.
Yes, although the king gave up the land outside the wall, the people would never leave their homeland.
You can't just die because of a wall!
Darius Crowley asked Jean Greymane several times to open the door and allow refugees to enter the country. However, due to the outbreak of natural disasters, Jean rejected Darius' request.
So Darius Crowley prepared a military remonstrance.
Although Tess Greymane tried his best to beautify his father and Darius Crowley, Carlos and Daelin, two old salted fish in the alliance, still understood.
The political conflicts within Gilneas have become so acute that they cannot be reconciled.
Unlike Menethil's dominant family, the Proudmoore family's clear division of labor, and even the Barov family who came to power through a virtual coup with frequent purges, the Greymane family rules the Kingdom of Gilneas. It depends on winning over the majority.
It's not that Genn Greymane is hard-hearted and unwilling to save the Gilneans outside the city wall, but that the Gilneans inside the city wall are afraid of everything outside the city wall.
It was the other noble lords who were rejecting Darius Crowley.
Because he is a die-hard supporter of Genn Greymane.
It's very Gilneas to resist the Scourge and engage in internal struggles.
However, in order to gain the support of the "majority", Genn Greymane must give up the "minority".
Darius Crowley and the people outside the wall he protected were both a "minority".
This is the real core of the contradiction.
Tess Greymane heard about the Alliance courier from the adults, and learned that Alliance Grand Marshal Carlos Barov and Admiral Daelin Proudmoore were on the outer sea, hoping to go to Gilneas City to meet Genn. .Greymane meeting.
So the little girl ventured out to sea, hoping that Carlos could save Gilneas from falling into civil war.
However, after listening to Tess's somewhat confusing narrative, Carlos had already mentally sketched out Gilneas's current political structure.
I'm afraid it won't be possible to make an "Attack of Disaster" movie.
The young Princess Gilneas, worried about her father and idol, placed her hopes and actions on Carlos. However, the Alliance's Grand Marshal did not respond positively to her eldest niece's expectations.
He needs time to think.
The current overall situation of the league is improving.
The most difficult time has passed. Carlos has paid the upfront cost of receiving two million Lordaeron remnants. As time goes by, the huge human resources will continue to be transformed into productivity and military strength.
The problem now is that without the help of the Gilneans, Garithos' army will most likely not be able to withstand the defense line of Silverpine Forest.
If you can't keep it, what will be the consequences?
Fight while retreating, trading space for time, and the worst that can happen is giving up the northern region of Hilbrad Qiurin.
It is impossible for the undead scourge in Lordaeron to overwhelm the Alliance in one go. The farther south Lordaeron goes, the stronger the human organization becomes.
Although it is cold-blooded to say this, under the current situation, losing more than 200,000 people will not damage the alliance.
Therefore, Carlos has reservations about whether to intervene in the internal struggle of the Kingdom of Gilneas.
After calming the anxious Tess Greymane with words, Carlos rewrote a relatively stern letter and gave it to his eldest niece, and asked Daelin to arrange for someone to escort the Princess of Gilneas to his father. .
The Wall of Greymane not only blocked the invasion of the undead, but also blocked the communication between fellow humans. Everything in the Kingdom of Gilneas was hidden in the fog of war behind the wall. Carlos decided to meet with Jean first. Decide what to do next.
There is still a little time.
