Needless to say about the affairs of the territory, Sarlayan has been away from Quel'Thalas for more than a year, and the things in the territory are left to his mother and father to take care of them. It is time to go back and take over again.

Before that, Calpurnia brought a letter home to Salayan, who was still recuperating in New Sandara City.

After the child of Welles and Alyssa was born, Uncle Welles, who had a strong sense of responsibility, soon returned to Backlight Blade.

In the previous year, Julian had to handle official duties on behalf of Welles during the day, and had to pay the public rations when he returned home at night.

According to Kael'thas, Julian had lost a lot of weight during the year, and he immediately left his job and ran away as soon as Villes came back.

Said that the escape was actually a joke, Julian just took over the external affairs of Quel'Thalas that should have been in charge of him.

Of the two brothers from the Deep Shadow clan, Welles was in charge of internal affairs, and he usually would not leave Eversong Forest unless he encountered special circumstances such as the Battle of Quicksand.

And Julian specializes in complicated external affairs, wherever there are difficult bones, Julian will appear there.

After marrying Inas, Julian's work gradually shifted to investigate the ancient gods.

The same is true for his mission this time, and it is said that he has caught clues related to the new Nightmare King.

"The new Nightmare King..."

Hearing this name, Sharlayan's pupils shrank suddenly.

Kael'thas nodded with a serious expression: "Yes, I was surprised when I heard you mention this name before."

"Is this a coincidence? Or is it inevitable? I don't know for the time being."

"Information related to the new Nightmare King has been found in two places in succession, indicating that the guy whose body is unknown for the time being can no longer hold back his desire to make trouble."

"Hmm..." Sharlayan lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Let's leave the investigation of the new Nightmare King to my father for the time being. I believe he can find out some clues."

"As for mother..."

Sharlayan rubbed her temples with a headache: "Looking for inspiration, I don't know when she will break through the bottleneck."

In order to find out the problem of the fertility rate of dragons and high elves, Inas has been working hard on research for more than a year.

It is a pity that this kind of major problem involving the origin of life is not so easy to solve.

Unsurprisingly, Inas's research fell into a bottleneck, and she couldn't find an opportunity to solve the problem for a long time.

Seeing that Inas, whose research was not going well, became more and more irritable, Julian suggested that she should go out with him to gather and relax. Maybe she could get inspiration from what he saw during the trip.

Anyway, unable to find a research direction for the time being, Inas accepted her husband's suggestion and left Quel'Thalas with him.

Before leaving, Inas handed over the responsibility of managing her son's territory to Alyssa who had finished her confinement.

What? Baby?

With the status of the Deep Shadow family, where Alyssa is required to go out in person, there will naturally be a nurse in charge.

Besides, the development of Sharlayan's territory has already been on the right track, and there is no need for Alyssa to take care of it at any time, as long as there is no trouble in the care.

Even Kael'thas, who was working hard, would not have leisure at night. After the conversation with Sharlayan was over, he would stay in his study and continue to work overtime.

Going back to the audience hall, I found Valeera and the others who had returned from shopping. Through the portal opened by the Royal Arcanist, the group returned directly to the Earl of Deep Shadow, which is far in the south of the forest.

After returning to the Lord's Mansion, Sharlayan did not rest immediately.

After greeting the surprised territorial officials, Sharlayan brought a few people to his lord's office after a long absence.

During the debriefing process, Valeera inquired about some news, which came from the neighbor to the south of Quel'Thalas, the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

"It's really a mess."

Salayan had heard from Calpuronia that the Stratholme region was in chaos before, and obtained the detailed information provided by the Headquarters of the Backlighting Blade. Salayan had a deeper understanding of the cause and current situation of the chaos.

Lordaeron has a vast territory, and their territory spans many regions in the northern part of the Eastern Continent.

Since the royal city is located in Tirisfal Forest, Lordaeron has relatively weak control over the distant Stratholme region, and needs to rely on the priests of Light's Hope Chapel to help exert influence.

Light's Hope Chapel has been cut off from Stratholme due to moss troll attacks.

Baron Rivendell, who sits in Stratholme City, is very anxious. Under the fanning of some people, he began to worry that the king will doubt the loyalty of Stratholme officials who have lost contact with the Light's Hope Chapel.

The best way to get out of the predicament is to fight off the moss trolls blocking the way.

However, Baron Rivendell has troubles that he can't tell, to be precise... he dare not say.

As the largest city in Eastern Tirisfal, Stratholme City should have a lot of food, and it should not be a problem to wipe out a group of moss trolls blocking the road.

However, in fact, the granary in Stratholme caught fire inexplicably one night more than half a month ago, and more than half of the granary was burned to the ground.

After hearing the news, Baron Rivendell didn't even have time to put on his armor, so he personally went into battle to direct the firefighting, but in the end he only saved food and grass that could barely feed the people of the city, and he didn't dare to send troops to suppress the bandits.

In order to avoid being questioned by King Terenas, Baron Rivendell suppressed the matter and prevented anyone from leaking the news.

When Lordaeron Royal City sent an order to suppress bandits, Baron Rivendell scratched his head anxiously.

At this time, an aide came forward and gave him an idea—to divert the disaster to the east.

Afterwards, just as Calpurnia said, Terenas, who didn't have a good impression of the high elves, adopted Rivendell's proposal and ordered Quel'Thalas to send troops to help suppress the bandits with a superior attitude.

This order was naturally rejected by Kael'thas and the Silvermoon Council. Kael'thas even wrote a letter to Terenas himself, in which he sneered and made him recognize his identity.

Quel'Thalas is not a vassal state of Lordaeron, and has long since withdrawn from the alliance. The Kingdom of Lordaeron has no right to order Quel'Thalas to do anything.

Leaving aside Terenas who was furious, Baron Rivendell, who could not get reinforcements, planned to delay this matter until the spring grain harvest before dispatching troops.

After 11 years of entering the Dark Portal, seeing no one obstructing it, the moss troll's range of activities is getting wider and wider, and it seems to be taking the opportunity to expand its territory.

The Quillinth Hut and the Gate of Thalas to the west are guarded by elite soldiers of the high elves, and the Mossy troll doesn't want to provoke them.

Starting from Zumashar, the Mossy troll went all the way south along the North Valley, and did not stop until the east wall guard tower guarding the Holy Light's Hope Chapel.

For the first time, being beaten to the door by a troll, the Holy Light's Hope Chapel was thrown into chaos.

The angry priests sent someone to report the matter back to the Royal City of Lordaeron. Terenas, who was still angry, finally found a punching bag, and sent envoys to Stratholme City to scold Baron Rialdale, and ordered that He immediately sent troops to repel the moss troll.

Stared at by the special envoy, Baron Rivendell was worried that he would find out the cause and effect of Stratholme's lack of food and grass, so he could only bite the bullet and lead the army himself, taking away most of the remaining food in the city.

What if there is no food? Make a fuss.

Stratholme is a big city after all, so famine is impossible logically.

But it just happened.

The baroness Anastari, who was staying in the city, tried her best to appease the angry people in the city, and assured them earnestly that if she persisted for a while, the food demand of the whole city would be met when the grain was harvested.

However, the hungry people ignored the void pie painted by the baroness, and they stormed the city hall and the lord's mansion angrily, causing the entire city of Stratholme to be in chaos.

The special envoy of Terenas apparently did not expect such turmoil to occur, and fled the city in a panic, preparing to ride back to the Royal City of Lordaeron to inform King Terenas of the matter.

Strange things happened again. The special envoy was killed by unknown persons on the way back. The news of the turmoil in Stratholme was not transmitted back to the Royal City of Lordaeron immediately, and the situation intensified.

The headquarters of Backlight Blade has been closely monitoring the development of this matter, and Villes has seen some clues from the successive bizarre events.

After listening to Sharlayan's description, Stellagosa frowned and asked, "Is this instigated by someone behind the scenes?"

"Ha~" Onyxia sneered, "Isn't this obvious? What we should consider right now is whether to help? If we do, what can we gain from this crisis?"
