Remember [New] in a second! Peace talks are not a unilateral matter, and the two warring parties need to reach a consensus in order to facilitate this peace negotiation.

As for Alterac, Sharlayan believed that the young but capable Inselton could subdue those nobles.

The time for Alterac to restore the country is still short. Even with the full support of other kingdoms, Inselton does not want to waste too much time on the war with Lordaeron.

The top priority is that the newly born Alterac Kingdom must take back its capital first, and officially announce the rebirth of this ancient kingdom to those original Alterac people who are still hesitating whether to return home.

As for Lordaeron, Terenas' intention to attack was still firm, and this battle hadn't reached the point where Lordaeron could not bear it.

However, as bad news continued to come from the front line, the domestic peace faction grew stronger day by day.

Even in the most stable period of royal power, Terenas could not completely ignore the opinions of ministers and nobles, let alone now.

In the feudal era when the royal family and the nobles ruled the country together, if the king insisted on going his own way regardless of the interests of the nobles, there would be a high probability of rebellion waiting for him in the end, which was unacceptable to the self-proclaimed talented Terenas.

Due to the fierce battle between the main war faction and the main peace faction in the country, Lordaeron's two frontline armies have recently slowed down their offensive rhythm.

Mograini, who was thinking of a soldier, didn't think so much. He only weakened the offensive in order to reduce the consumption of food and grass. Uther on the Eastern Front was purely for political considerations.

In any case, the battlefields on both fronts were temporarily at a standstill due to the turmoil in the rear, which made Salayan's activities easier.

Alterac has already been settled in advance, and Sharlayan plans to venture to the Royal City of Lordaeron next, and meet the behind-the-scenes driving force of the Peace Faction—Princess Calia Menethil.

…

During the period when Sharlayan returned to Steinbride to persuade Inselton and deal with other chores, the Barov family still maintained contact with Andorhal.

As Sharlayan predicted, the stalemate on the frontlines has left some people restless.

The special envoy of Terenas and the diplomats of the Peace Faction came to Andorhal and the frontline barracks of the Knights of the Silver Hand one after the other.

Both sides tried their best to gain a sense of presence and make a big deal, trying to pull the senior officers of the Knights of the Silver Hand to their side.

The righteous Uther has no interest in political struggles, and can even be said to be bored.

But in the officialdom, some things are unavoidable.

Such as standing in line.

As Alonsus Faol's most valued first-generation paladin, Uther has all the virtues of a paladin.

Compared with standing with the king and ministers, he is more willing to stand on the side of the people and the country, and does not want to participate in dirty political struggles.

Uther, who is well versed in nonsense literature, played a skillful set of "Tai Chi", and the royal envoy and the diplomats sent by the Lord Peace Faction seemed to have gained something, but in fact they didn't get any promises.

After going back and forth, the main battle faction and the main peace faction gradually understood that Uther and the Knights of the Silver Hand did not intend to stand on either side.

The special envoy of the royal family first returned to Lordaeron's royal city depressed to return to his mission. When the diplomats sent by the Lord and Peace were also planning to return with a look of regret, they unexpectedly received contact from the Barov family.

The liaison party is the current Patriarch of the Barov family, Alex Barov, who represents the new king of Alterac—Inselton Perenolde, and clearly passed on the Kingdom of Alterac to the Lord Peace faction. attitude - the pursuit of peace.

When the plenipotentiary representative of the Barov family, the Perenold royal family, had in-depth communication with the representatives of Lordaeron's main peace faction, Sharlayan embarked on a journey to Lordaeron first.

For this trip, Sharlayan will sneak into the royal city of Lordaeron.

With the current relationship between Quel'Thalas and Lordaeron, all high elves living in the royal city will be monitored.

To put it simply, Sharlayan cannot enter the city as a high elf, so as not to be monitored by Lordaeron's intelligence services.

He planned to keep the animal form for the whole time, and it was inconvenient to bring Valeera and Tinagosa with him.

Since Sharlayan left Quel'Thalas and traveled around, he has never really entered the Royal City of Lordaeron, and every time he just passed by.

Sharlayan's sharp-tailed swift set off from the northern part of the Alterac Snow Mountains, bypassing the still foggy Lordamere Lake from a high altitude, and flew all the way northwest at full speed.

After entering the range of Tirisfal Glades, Sharlayan slowed down and transformed into a raven that is very common in Lordaeron.

The pitch-black raven spread its wings and glides from high above to the Royal City of Lordaeron below, overlooking the appearance of the entire city from the air.

Lordaeron's architecture is different from Dalaran, Alterac, and Kul Tiras.

There are a large number of tall and thin church-like buildings in the city. In the words of the barrage, this style is more similar to the Gothic buildings they know.

This architectural style is filled with a strong religious atmosphere, which just fits Lordaeron's identity as the birthplace of the Church of the Holy Light.

The majestic Holy Light Cathedral is located in the church square in the center of the city. There is an endless stream of people visiting the cathedral, and from time to time, you can see nobles going to the cathedral with a big show.

The battle ahead seems to have not affected the enjoyment of the nobles in the Royal City of Lordaeron at all, and those high-end consumer places are still very prosperous.

Not only the nobles, but the atmosphere of the whole city is not depressing at all, the streets where the common people are haunted are also very lively, and most of the common people still have smiles on their faces.

Sharlayan's transformed raven landed on the top of a small church in the civilian area, and stood on the steeple of the church to collect intelligence for several hours.

In addition to gossip, the civilians who come and go to the church will occasionally chat about the rebellion in the Alterac region.

Perhaps it was because the Kingdom of Lordaeron had been strong for too long, and most people just regarded the war as an after-dinner conversation, and didn't think that Lordaeron would lose to a mere Alterac.

Sharlayan: "Heh~ It seems that Lordaeron's high-level officials did not tell the people under their rule the truth. These poor commoners don't know that what they are facing is not just Alterac, but five human kingdoms. Together, the Anti-Lordaeron Alliance."

[Normally, in order to prevent the public from panicking and affecting the stability of the rear, the government will definitely have reservations when reporting on the battle ahead. 】

[To put it simply, it is to report good news but not bad news. 】

[Why did I suddenly think of the war between Er Mao and Da Mao? Under the biased reports of the Western media, Er Mao’s war report was so loud that it seemed to be about to counterattack Da Mao’s homeland. 】

[Grass, just listen to this kind of nonsense, isn’t there a lot of self-media in our country who have been fooled and limped, repeating it with Western media? 】

[That's not called being fooled, some media just accept the chatter, and just use money to do things. 】

[If you don’t advocate Ermao’s dominance on the battlefield, the Western sense of superiority that they think they can still control the world is broken and cannot be suppressed. 】

[Da Mao's senior general who was "killed" for many days has been resurrected, can Er Mao still believe what Er Mao said? Have fun. 】

[Cough~ You guys are getting too far, let's get back to business. 】

【I'm curious, if the people of Lordaeron who think the war is going well know the truth about the situation on the front line, will they still be able to treat war as a topic of chat like this? 】

Sharlayan: "It makes sense, it's worth a try."

…

In the past week, some taverns in the Royal City of Lordaeron have gradually revealed the "truth" of the frontline battle situation that is completely different from the official statement.

The people who spread the news made elaborate explanations about the defeat of Lordaeron's military operation, saying that the battlefield on both fronts was about to collapse.

At the beginning, this unconventional rhetoric did not attract anyone's attention. Anyone who knew the rumor took it as a joke, and it was fine if they had heard it.

But as this rumor spread more and more widely within a week, the people who were originally optimistic about the war were a little uncertain, and they began to suspect that the official war report contained moisture.

At this time, Valeera, who had already returned to Eversong Forest, told Minister of Propaganda von der Lore about Sarlayan's plan~lightnovelpub.net~ Due to the official control of Lordaeron, the major cities and towns in Lordaeron were blocked. The publication of the Silver Monthly was banned, and Von der Lore had to change his mind, adopting Sarlayan's idea of ​​encircling the city with the countryside.

The new issue of the Silver Moon Weekly Newsletter began to work hard, and the employees of the newspaper office spread the newspaper widely in various towns and towns of Lordaeron, revealing all the truth about the war situation.

There is a famous saying in the world where the barrage is located.

Oo's temperament always likes to be harmonious and compromise. For example, if you say that this room is too dark, and you say to open a skylight here, everyone will definitely not allow it, but if you propose to remove the roof, they will come to mediate and are willing to open the skylight up.

The oo in this sentence can refer to any country, such as Lordaeron.

At the beginning, the rumors spread by Sharlayan were obviously a little too much, but at least they left an initial impression in the minds of the people of Lordaeron, making them doubt the authenticity of the official report.

When the Silver Moon Weekly revealed the real battlefield truth, the foreshadowing that Sharlayan planted in advance began to play a role.

And then... Terenas was furious.
