The news that Lordaeron was preparing to march into the Broken Islands reached Stormwind City. When Boval, who had been worried about his own affairs, had to advise him when he learned that King Va wanted to intervene in the matter.

"Varian, the Broken Islands are closer to Lordaeron and farther from the Storm Kingdom. I think you know this very well." The two were about the same age. Vanessa was young and a woman, so she had to always hold the airs of the 'His Majesty the King'. The age of King Va made him no longer need to care about these false gifts.

He and Boval are in private with their names.

The king was also in a dilemma at this time, and he could only express his thoughts.

"I also want to garrison troops in the Broken Islands. I think two legions, 16,000 soldiers, are more suitable."

Boval was stunned. At one moment, he even thought that the Storm Kingdom was going to go to war with Lordaeron.

The fact that Lordaeron was preparing to establish an island chain was not a secret. He didn't understand it at first, but gradually he studied it.

From Northrend to the Broken Islands, to the South Kurtiras, and some small islands.

Relying on these islands to build a defense chain, protecting the local area at the innermost point, in order to prevent foreign enemies from invading Lordaeron.

This strategic deployment is not Azeroth, but it is in line with Vanessa's usual policy of building a defense base wherever she goes.

Now that King Va suddenly said he wanted to garrison in the broken archipelago, this key island chain area of ​​Lordaer, Bovar suddenly became nervous.

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

"Why?" he couldn't help asking.

King Wa guessed his thoughts and quickly raised a palm: "My brother, swear in the name of the former king of the Urien family, I promise you that I have no intention of starting a war."

Boval couldn't help but chuckled, and stationed his troops at the doorstep of his house. Isn't this a sign of war?

"You haven't been to the Broken Islands...I've been, and I've met a group of elves there who call themselves the sons of the night."

Berval nodded: "You mentioned this."

"The leader of the son of the Night, the great magician Alisander, had a prophecy, saying that the demons would come out of the depths of the Broken Islands, and that was a powerful enemy that everyone needed to unite to defeat."

Bovar didn't say anything, and listened to King Val to continue.

"We can work with Lordaeron to station in the Broken Islands, but I must know what's going on there first. Lordaeron... Lordaeron has a criminal record of a natural disaster in the undead, and their handling of emergency matters is very worrying..."

He said a lot, and the core meaning was only one. If the matter was in his own hands, he would be very relieved. If the matter was in the hands of others, he would feel insecure. If he could not get the news at the first time, he thought it would cause an unimaginable disaster to Azeroth.

Boval walked out of the palace with a embarrassed look on his face. King Wa gave him a task to let Lordaeron give up part of the broken archipelago without arousing hostility or destroying relations between the two countries, and allow the Storm Kingdom to station troops in the archipelago.

Can this be done through diplomatic means? This is not a normal diplomatic requirement at all!

Boval discussed with his think tank, Countess Caterina. The Countess also felt that this task was completely difficult. The two countries had similar strengths. One country made territorial demands on islands within the sphere of influence of another country, and had to station troops? What is the difference between this and declaring war?

"With Archbishop Galia helping to mediate, there may be a glimmer of hope." She could only come up with such an idea.

After hearing the request of Storm Kingdom, Jalia was also shocked. No matter how she didn't understand diplomacy, she also knew that the request of Storm Kingdom this time was very excessive.

She is the Archbishop of the Church of Holy Light, but also a native of Lordaeron, and will never sell the interests of the country.

"Boval, needless to say, I will not agree to such a request, and Vanessa will not agree to it." She said firmly.

"I swear in the name of the Holy Light that the Storm Kingdom has no hostility to Lordaeron, but just for the future of Azeroth..." Boval cursed and swore again and again, and repeatedly promised that this was definitely not a diplomatic provocation before the war. He directly expressed his trump card. After the Storm Kingdom garrisoned, Lordaeron could also garrison, and even handed over the logistics to Lordaeron.

An army was hanging alone and had no supplies in its hands, which was very dangerous.

After Boval's repeated persuasion, Galia only agreed to write a letter for Boval and ask about Vanessa's attitude, but she would never agree to the intermediary.

Vanessa's reply came very quickly. In the letter, she first mentioned the affection of sisters, and then invited Galia to go back to Lordaeron from time to time to check, but she did not mention a single word in the letter about the Broken Islands.

"This is at least a signal. Things are not completely out of control..." Count Katerina made her own analysis. She looked at Berval and felt very sympathetic to the legendary paladin. She actually took on such a difficult task: "Let's talk, talk a little bit, take some time, and you should be able to make a breakthrough."

It's easy to say but hard to do.

In the following time, from the end of June and early September of the 28th year of the Black Gate, Berval ran back and forth between the two countries.

Looking for Old Fordine, Jaina, and asking everyone he knew to help lobby. Vanessa's attitude also went from initial rage to subsequent forced patience to final careful thinking.

Boval was exhausted by the struggle and finally won Lordaeron's approval.

Lordaeron will garrison troops in the Broken Islands after the Storm Kingdom and establish his own island chain defense.

Each of them is responsible for the logistics supply, so Vanessa will not bear the supplies of the soldiers of the Storm Kingdom, so she can't take advantage of her.

As a condition for Lordaeron to give in, the Storm Kingdom also agreed that they went to the South Endless Sea to occupy some territory, such as some small ‘islands’.

Old Fordine implicitly reminded Beval that Lordaer was going to the South China Sea to attack the Blood Sail Pirates.

This group of pirates had already robbed many merchant ships of Lordaeron. Lordaeron roughly grasped their strongholds in the South China Sea and would then send warships to wipe out the pirates.

"Just a group of pirates, just fight." King Va didn't care about this 'small thing' and he was very happy about Lordaeron's overall consideration. In order to show the importance of the broken archipelago, he also mobilized the country to prepare for war. It is expected that by the end of this year and the beginning of next year, contact the son of Ye and land on the broken archipelago.

In early October 28, Blackmen, Lordaeron made preparations and sold his money. He finally got some supplies and brought some special products from Lordaeron and Northrend. Then a huge fleet left the port and headed to the South Endless Sea.

The name is to fight against the infamous Blood Sail Pirates.
