The news of Lordaeron's plans to march on the Broken Isles reached Stormwind City. Bolvar, who was originally concerned about the matter, had no choice but to persuade him when he learned that King Va wanted to intervene in this matter.

"Varian, the Broken Isles are closer to Lordaeron, and farther away from the Kingdom of Stormwind. I think you know this very well." The two are about the same age, and Vanessa has to carry it all the time because she is young and female. The air of "His Majesty the King", King Wa's age made him no longer need to care about these empty etiquettes.

He and Bolvar are privately matched by name.

The king was also in a dilemma at this time, he could only speak his mind.

"I also want to station troops in the Broken Isles. I think two legions with 16,000 soldiers are more appropriate."

Bolvar was stunned. For a moment, he even thought that the Kingdom of Stormwind was going to war with Lordaeron.

It is not a secret that Lordaeron is planning to establish an island chain. I didn't understand it at first, but I gradually understood it after research.

From Northrend to the Broken Isles, to Kul Tiras in the south, and some smaller islands.

Rely on these islands to build a defensive chain to protect the mainland at the innermost point to prevent foreign enemies from invading Lordaeron.

This kind of strategic deployment is very different from Azeroth, but it is in line with Vanessa's consistent policy of building defense bases wherever she goes.

Now King Va suddenly said that he would station troops in the Broken Isles, the key island chain area of ​​Lordaeron, and Bolvar immediately became nervous.

If the king ordered it, he would carry it out, but there must be a reason, right?

"Why?" He couldn't help asking.

King Wa guessed what he was thinking, and quickly raised a palm: "My brother, I swear in the name of the former king of the Wrynn family, I assure you, I have no intention of launching a war."

Bovar couldn't help chuckling, and all the troops were stationed at the door of other people's houses. Isn't this a harbinger of war?

"You haven't been to the Broken Isles...I have been, and there I met a group of elves who call themselves the Nightborne."

Bolvar nodded: "You mentioned this."

"The leader of the Nightborne, the great magister Elisande, had a prophecy. She said that the devil would come out from the depths of the Broken Isles. It was a powerful enemy that required everyone to unite to defeat it."

Bolvar didn't say a word, listening to Wa Wang continue.

"We can garrison the Broken Isles with Lordaeron, but I must know the situation there as soon as possible, Lordaeron... Lordaeron has a history of undead natural disaster outbreaks, and they handle emergency affairs very well. Worrying..."

He said a lot, but the core meaning is only one. If the matter is in his own hands, he will feel at ease. If the matter is in the hands of others, he will feel insecure. Lars wrought unimaginable disaster.

Bolvar walked out of the palace with a face full of embarrassment. King Va gave him a task. Under the premise of not causing hostility to Lordaeron and destroying the relationship between the two countries, let Lordaeron give up part of the Broken Isles and allow the Kingdom of Stormwind Garrison in the islands.

Can this be done diplomatically? This is not a normal diplomatic request at all!

Bovar and his think tank, the Countess Katerina, had some discussions. The Countess also felt that this task was completely difficult. The strengths of the two countries were similar. One country made territorial claims on the islands within the sphere of influence of the other country and had to garrison troops. ? How is this different from declaring war?

"Ask Archbishop Jialia to help mediate, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope." After searching her brain, she could only come up with such an idea.

After hearing the request from the Stormwind Kingdom, Calia was also taken aback. She knew that the Stormwind Kingdom's request was too much even though she was ignorant of diplomacy.

She is the archbishop of the Church of the Holy Light, but she is also a Lordaeronian, and she will never betray the interests of the country.

"Bovar, needless to say, I will not agree to such a request, let alone Vanessa." She said firmly.

"I swear in the name of the Holy Light that the Kingdom of Stormwind has no hostility towards Lordaeron, it is only for the future of Azeroth..." Bolvar swore again, swore again, and assured again and again, this is definitely not what happened before the war. In response to diplomatic provocations, he directly revealed his own trump card. After the Stormwind Kingdom garrisoned troops, Lordaeron could also garrison troops, and even handed over logistics to Lordaeron.

It is very dangerous to have an army hanging out alone without supplies in its own hands.

Under Bervar's repeated persuasion, Jia Liya only agreed to write a letter for Bervar to ask about Vanessa's attitude, but she absolutely refused to be an intermediary.

Vanessa's reply came very quickly. In the letter, she first talked about her sister's affection, and then invited Calia to visit Lordaeron from time to time, but she didn't mention a single word about the Broken Isles.

"This is at least a sign that things are not completely out of control..." Countess Katerina made her own analysis. She looked at Bolvar and felt sympathetic to this legendary paladin. Tricky task: "Let's talk, talk a little~lightnovelpub.net~ Spend some time, you should be able to make a breakthrough."

easy to say, hard to do.

In the following time, from the end of June in the 28th year of Hemen to the beginning of September, Bolvar has been running back and forth between the two countries.

Looking for old Fording, looking for Jaina, looking for everyone I know to help lobby, Vanessa's attitude also changed from the initial rage, to the subsequent forced patience, to the final careful thinking.

Bolvar was exhausted physically and mentally, and finally won the approval of Lordaeron.

After the Kingdom of Stormwind, Lordaeron will garrison the Broken Isles and establish its own island chain defense.

The logistics and supplies are each responsible, and Vanessa will not be responsible for the supplies of the soldiers of the Stormwind Kingdom. Don't try to take advantage of her.

As a condition for Lordaeron to back down, the Kingdom of Stormwind also acquiesced that they would go to the South Endless Sea to occupy some territory, such as some small 'islands' or something.

Old Fording vaguely reminded Bolvar that Lordaeron was going to the South China Sea to fight against the Bloodsail pirates.

This group of pirates has already plundered many merchant ships in Lordaeron. Lordaeron has roughly grasped their stronghold in the South China Sea, and will send warships to exterminate the pirates.

"It's just a group of pirates, let's fight." King Va didn't care about this "small matter". He was very happy with Lordaeron's overall situation. In order to show the importance of the Broken Isles, he also mobilized his country to prepare for the war. At the end of this year and early next year, contact the Nightborne and land on the Broken Isles.

At the beginning of October 28 of Heimen, Lordaeron made many preparations and sold everything. Finally, he managed to gather some supplies and brought some special products from Lordaeron and Northrend. After that, the mighty fleet left the port and headed for South endless sea.

The name is to crusade against the notorious Bloodsail pirates.

Fifty warships and ninety merchant ships were dispatched on this voyage, among which were loaded 20,000 soldiers, 15,000 sailors, and more than 8,000 craftsmen.
