Most of the nobles whose fiefdoms are in the southern part of Eversong Forest are emerging nobles who were first granted due to meritorious service before and after the Troll War.峸

Compared with the founding nobles who occupied the most fertile land in Eversong Forest, the territories of the nobles are closer to the Amani trolls.

Before the Amani clan was completely driven out of Eversong Forest, due to the constant threat of trolls, the honorable degeneration was much slower than those old nobles who had long forgotten the external threats.

To this day, there are still many sons and daughters of noble families who will join the ranger army to hone their experience according to the usual practice.

Therefore, before the rise of the Deep Shadow family represented by Sharlayan, the Windrunner family, who had inherited the position of Ranger General for generations, had always been the leader of the nobles.

Of course, there are also many honorable families who will arrange for their gifted children to follow the path of arcane arts. After all, arcanists are the real masters of the magical kingdom of Quel'Thalas.

It is true that some honorable families have achieved what they see as a "class leap" through the efforts of their descendants.

They took the initiative to break away from the honorable ranks, and shifted their family's industrial focus to the northern part of Eversong Forest. They thought they could integrate into the increasingly decadent old aristocratic circle, and some even moved their families to Silvermoon City for permanent residence.峸

Sharlayan has always believed in a truth, people must first save themselves and then save them.

Without external threats, nobles who are used to enjoying life will inevitably be corroded by the feasting and feasting of Silvermoon City's original will to fight.

Therefore, Sharlayan would not try to persuade those nobles who had long been used to lying down and enjoy themselves to stand up again. He would only walk with the nobles who still retained their enterprising spirit.

When Darkan Drathir was still around, Sharlayan had once screened and cleaned the ranks of nobles. He unabashedly explained his style of doing things to his neighbors who still lived in the southern part of the forest.

Taking the Windrunner family as an example, Sharlayan will not treat those who sincerely follow him badly. Those who can accept it will naturally continue to come over, and those who cannot accept it will not force it.

However, Sharlayan would not tolerate anyone who tried to blend in with the team to play tricks and set the pace.

With Valeera, the high-level Backlight Blade who possesses a lot of information, anyone who dares to hide behind and make small moves will be quickly targeted by the Backlight Blade's elite thieves.峸

After Alleria returned, Vereesa once planned to hand over the task of housekeeping to the eldest sister.

But Alleria is self-aware of her abilities.

She is good at leading troops to fight, and in terms of personal strength, Alleria is also the strongest among the four siblings.

But in terms of territorial management ability, Alleria thought she was far inferior to the third sister who had been in charge of this job.

After Alleria returned to her hometown from Draenor, the stewardship of the Windrunner family was still in the hands of Vereesa, and Alleria herself was the vacant Farstrider after taking over the northern transfer of her younger brother Lyras position of leader.

After the Battle of Seamount, all three Windrunner sisters returned to Quel'Thalas, except Lylas who remained in Northrend to guard the northern border for the kingdom.

Years of separation has not weakened their sisterhood. The division of labor between the three sisters is very clear. After busy work, they will try their best to return to the capital of the Windrunner territory that has been upgraded to a small town to get together.峸

Alleria, Cirvanas, and Vereesa were all present at today's noble meeting, and the three represented the positions of the Farstrider, the Orthodox Ranger, and the Windrunner Duke clan respectively.

Over the years, the Fengxingzhe family followed the Deep Shadow family and enjoyed a lot of sweetness. The capital of the territory that was originally a small village gradually expanded to a town-level scale, and the plan to further expand it into a city was also put on the agenda.

Perhaps it was because Li Reisa did a good job in tutoring, or maybe it was because of their good personal relationship with each other, the three sisters did not have any negative opinions on the rapid rise of the Deep Shadow family, which took away the status of the noble leader.

Needless to say, Alleria, who grew up watching Sharlayan, has always loved this unrelated brother very much.

Cirvanas, who came from a military background, always believed in the strong being respected. She was convinced by Sareh, whose personal strength and layout planning ability had improved rapidly.

It is even more impossible for Vereesa, who is in charge of the housekeeper, to have any objections. Although the Windrunner family gave up their position as the noble leader, their family property has grown exponentially during the years of eating meat and soup with the Deep Shadow family. .

There are examples before, coupled with the strong support of the three Windrunner sisters, none of the honorable families participating in this meeting dared to stand up to Sharlayan.峸

However, some people still raised doubts about Sarlayan's explanation.

"Grand Duke Deep Shadow, what do you mean? Haven't the leaders of the four great nobles already clearly expressed their opposition?"

It's not surprising that some people raised questions. After all, not everyone has such a strong network of contacts and intelligence channels as Sharlayan.

For the lord who asked aloud, Sharlayan did not deliberately put on a high profile to ridicule, but patiently explained to him.

"Indeed, as you said, among the representatives of the four contemporary nobles, Calpurnia and Solanlian are in politics, while Petra and Mathis are in charge of the army."

"After the great cleansing that year, the power of the four great nobles was greatly reduced, but the emaciated camels are still bigger than horses, and they still have important status in the upper echelons of Quel'Thalas."

"But..." 峸

It was no surprise that the honorable representatives present had a turning point.

Salayan said solemnly: "Calpurnia, Solanlian, Petra, and Mathis have all been determined as the heads of the respective families. In your opinion, their attitudes represent the four great nobles. opinion, right?"

The red-haired lord who asked the question asked puzzledly, "Isn't it?"

Sharlayan smiled meaningfully: "Then, have you ever considered that this is a fishing gesture deliberately put on by those four big men?"

"this…"

As Sharlayan said, the four great nobles are typical of the death of a tiger.

Even though it was not as good as before, the background accumulated over 7,000 years was still above the newly rising noble families. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the leaders of all the nobles in Quel'Thalas.峸

The nobles who live in the southern part of the forest don't know much about the political ecology of Silvermoon City. Most of them are born in the military. They lack sufficient understanding of the position changes and intrigues among civil officials.

In their view, the four great nobles would stand on the side of the interests of the nobles as a matter of course. This was a repertoire that had been agreed upon thousands of years ago.

However, is this really the case?

the answer is negative.

As the most trusted vassals of the Sun King Kael'thas, Mattis and Petra who are permanently stationed in the camps of the two major legions of the Flaming Eagle and the Burning Blade, not to mention, Salayan's dealings with Solanlian and Calpurnia Opportunities abound.

He can be sure that the four great nobles whose days are on the wane have long been tamed by the Sunstrider royal family.

At least in the generation of the four of Solanlian~lightnovelpub.net~ As long as there are no accidents in Kael'thas, which will lead to the severance of the Sunstrider's royal lineage, they are unlikely to make any tricks in front of the flourishing kingship .峸

After all, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and the primary goal of the four nobles who have suffered heavy losses is to get up and lick their wounds, and it is impossible to come here to add trouble to the royal family at this time.

Then the answer is obvious. The statements of the four nobles are likely to be Kael'thas's intentional phishing law enforcement, trying to use their opposition to catch those who slipped through the net who still have a chance to check and balance the royal power.

With the deepening of Quel'Thalas' reforms, the conflict of class interests between nobles and commoners became more and more prominent.

Riding on the heads of common people... and even the royal family for thousands of years, would the founding nobles willingly watch their muddy legs step on their heads and shit?

Think about it and know that this is impossible.

After several times of weakening by Anasteria and Kael'thas, the influence of the founding nobles has long been greatly reduced. This time, the four major nobles took the initiative to stand up and oppose it, which is their last chance to make a comeback.

Even if they knew that there might be problems, the old nobles who had no way out could only stand up and shout for their own interests.峸

In the recent Silver Moon Daily, you can often see news articles prepared by the old nobles. They try to use this method to guide public opinion and put pressure on the royal family who is determined to continue to deepen reforms.

Vereesa has known Sharlayan for many years, and she already knows his behavior style very well.

While those honorable representatives were still bowing their heads in thought, the Third Sister of the Windrunner stood up and asked a question.

"Grand Duke Deep Shadow, newspapers, a new media, only emerged under your advocacy. Now that they are being used by the old nobles to guide public opinion, isn't there a risk of shooting yourself in the foot?"
