Chapter 65 Pre-crisis meetings
After receiving the information just now, Brad relaxed. In order to deal with the Scourge, he made complete preparations.
Of course he didn't want natural disasters to run rampant in Lordaeron, but the problem was that Brad did not have absolute confidence to stop them. Because so far, he did not have a way to completely prevent the plague.
Even if there are statues and moon gods, they can only protect the Jade Corner. But this can only defend against the spread of plague in the sky. If the Jade Corner's food is plague, a tide of undead will appear in the Jade Corner.
The plague is too difficult to defend against. As he and Medivh said, he did not feel that he could convince everyone, but the worst situation would make them mentally guarded.
He would do his best to control the scope of the plague, but if it is not possible, he also established sufficient facilities in the hilly areas to prepare to accept refugees.
Of course, it is the best situation to not be able to use these things, but...
Brad walked quickly to Talonmil's Council Chamber and asked, "How is the situation with the arrival of the personnel?"
Onyxia said quickly while following Brad tightly: "Everyone who is coming is basically here, but there are two small accidents."
Brad paused for a moment and said, "Speak."
"The first one is that King Gene of Gilness did not arrive, and he did not even see the messenger of our heartfelt gift." Anixia's eyes flashed with anger.
Brad shook his head helplessly and said, "A naive guy, do you really think Gilness is powerful and invincible? With his demeanor, who would support him and become the leader of the alliance? No wonder he was suppressed by Lordaeron's old guy for a lifetime. Gilness is not as unfair as Lordaeron."
Onyxia also smiled and said, "What's ridiculous is that their so-called failure to break the barrier has been completed. It is said that even the citizens of the Silver Song Forest have moved back to the wall and completely abandoned the Silver Song Forest."
"There is no barrier in the world that cannot be broken. The turtle-like autism will only make them perish. It's better if he doesn't come. But don't cancel the shadow there, and give back to the situation there regularly." Brad said lightly.
Onyxia was stunned and said, "Master wants to..."
Brad waved his hand and said, "You're thinking too much. I don't have any interest in the land of Kyrgyzstan. But something will happen there soon. Just send someone to monitor it, and you'll know when the time comes."
Although Onyxia was curious, she said: "I understand. Another surprise is that the queen of Lordaeron has actually arrived."
Seeing that Brad had no intention of being surprised at all, Onyxia said in surprise: "Why is the master not surprised at all?"
Brad said slowly: "Nothing to be surprised. The old king was killed by me. Lordaeron has not had any big trouble over the years. Those nobles were also subdued by her, which shows that Queen Lordaeron's shrewdness and strength. Now Lordaeron's momentum is no longer as good as before. He did not participate in the alliance battle between Lordaeron ten years ago. If she does not come, many people will downplay and forget Lordaeron, so it is not surprising that she does not come at all."
"See the Lord."
From a distance, the guards guarding the Council Hall saw Brad and his group, and then began to bow and salute.
Brad waved his hand and then strode into the council hall.
It is said to be a council hall, but it is actually a large conference room now. It is different from other human styles. The council hall here is more Westernized.
The lights in the council hall were brightly lit. As soon as I walked in, I heard various sounds. People from various forces who had arrived were whispering to each other.
With the announcement, the Council Hall suddenly became quiet.
"Friends from all kingdoms and territories, welcome to Talonmil. I am very honored to be willing to come."
Brad quickly walked over and asked everyone, then sat down at his seat.
Everyone replied politely, but Jasper Leader had a good relationship with them for many years, and Brad had a very good personal relationship with most people. Even for Brad or their creditor, Jasper Leader sent an invitation and they would come happily.
Moglani smiled and said, "The old marshal is so anxious to summon us, it is not a debt collection. I will first declare that I have prepared the money I should pay back every year and am preparing to pay it back, but if I pay it back at one time, I will not have it."
Muladin also echoed: "That's right, I've already brought the money for this year, but we don't have the other money. You know, our Iron Fort has just accepted brothers from the Dwarf clan. This is a tight fund, and it's already good to be able to bring the debt for this year."
When the others heard this, they started to complain, but it was just the same thing, they had no money.
Brad interrupted everyone with a wry smile and said loudly: "You are misunderstandings. For ten years, I have never urged money for Jade Receiver. Some guys even cried poorly at the beginning, saying that they couldn't even get the down payment. Let me think about it, by the way, it's Moglani and General Muladin. One said that the territory is not easy, the harvest is not good, and I don't want to see the people suffering, and I can't get the money. The other said that the Iron Fortress has not been built yet and the money is not enough. Anyway, I owe it for several years."
Ahem...
Both Moglani and Muladin coughed awkwardly.
The other lords who were close to them all said that they were not kind and actually did such things without hiding them.
The atmosphere suddenly became warm.
At this time, Queen Lordaeron, who had been silent, coughed lightly and said, "I think Lord Brad summoned us not only to reminisce about the past, otherwise he would not have invited me together."
Among the people present, the one with the most complicated mood is Queen Lordaeron. You should know that Talonmil was once Lordaeron's territory.
Although Talonmil was small, his strategic position was very important and it was a food operation station. However, Alsace gave up these two territories, causing Lordaeron to actually completely control the hilly areas. As for Dunholder, Blackmore was so smart that he was about to die. Although he did not surrender to the Jade Corner, he would never provoke the Jade Corner, for fear that Brad would find a reason to annex him. You must know that the Jade Corner today is no longer the same as before, and Lordaeron could not stop the Jade Corner's edge, let alone Dunholder.
Although she knew the changes in the hilly areas and Talonmil, she was still full of surprise when she saw it with her own eyes. She was shocked by the wealth of Jasper Corps, which had such great financial resources to support the construction of several cities. And when she came to Talonmil, she felt a heavy sense of oppression, as if this was not a city, but a fortress.
In this situation, it is difficult to recover Talonmil and Nanhai Town. She sadly discovered that the residents here still remembered that they once belonged to Lordaeron. What she saw from the eyes of which residents were satisfied and joy.
Hearing Queen Lordaeron's words, the entire council hall returned to silence again, and even the representatives of the High Elf Kingdom and several kings stopped talking.
Brad smiled and said, "Of course not. If it weren't for a very important matter, how could I risk wasting everyone's time? Since the queen is so anxious, I won't keep it. I just agreed that a devastating disaster is coming."
The entire council hall was silent, and everyone was looking at each other. Brad was not in a hurry, looking at everyone with a firm look.
"Puff..." Finally, the Queen of Lordaeron laughed: "Hisser Brad, what are you talking about? A few days ago, a madman said that mankind is facing a huge crisis. I, Lordaeron, will perish. I want to trick me and let me take all my citizens to Kalimdo. Now I heard you say that there is a huge disaster. It's ridiculous. I, Lordaeron, have so many citizens. I, Lordaeron, have all moved to Kalimdo continent. What kind of migration we use, even if the migration passes, how can we survive?"
Moglani also said, "The Queen is right. There are so many humans, how can we all move to the road? It's not that my son has told me about the situation there. The fertile land is occupied, but there is only a barren area left. Even if there is a disaster, even if we move to the road, so many of us cannot survive. In this case, why not stay to compete with the disaster? Our ancestors experienced countless disasters to develop humanity to this level. Didn't the overlord of Lordaeron be defeated by our ancestors, and we also defeated the orcs. What difficulties can we do?"
Moglani is now full of confidence. He has a close relationship with Jasper and has obtained a lot of engineering weapons. He is not afraid of war, but is a little eager to try it out.
"Well, I don't believe that there is any power to destroy our High Elf Kingdom. I am not interested in disaster this time, but the Silver Moon Council cannot refute the old marshal's face. I specially asked me to come over and have a big business to have a good talk with the old marshal." A female high elf with her head raised high said lightly. His voice was full of magnetic, but the blood-red veil blocked her appearance. She was carrying a simple and unpretentious bow.
Brad shook his head helplessly, gently buckled the table, attracted everyone's eyes and continued, "Everyone, please listen to me. I can guarantee with my personality that the crisis is approaching, no, it has begun to happen. This crisis is extraordinary. If we are not treated with caution, we humans and you high elves will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and we will definitely regret it too late."
Queen Lordaeron said lightly: "Your reputation, haha. The madman said the same thing a few days ago. He said that he was the guardian of mankind. As far as I know, this man opened the door of darkness. I don't know why he is still alive, or what agreement did you reach with this traitor of mankind."
Brad sighed and said, "Yes, the madman in the queen's mouth is Medivh. I really have a little connection with him. But this seems to be not the point."
"Then you two have to move everyone with one-sided words. This... Old Marshal, it's not that I don't believe you, but..."
Dassauhan hesitated for a moment or raised questions... (To be continued...)
