"Why should I? The military supplies are out of the question! I paid for that grain myself. Why should I hand it over?" Yu Lin Bloodhawk said. "The king is overstepping! Raising an army might threaten him, but does buying grain threaten him too? The Hinterlands isn't Quel'Thalas. It's not his to govern!"
"Hmph! I helped you conquer the Hinterlands!" Sylvanas snorted.
"Hey, you're my wife's sister-my sister-in-law! Why are you siding with an outsider?" Yu Lin Bloodhawk cried.
"I'm also an officer of Quel'Thalas!" Sylvanas said.
"Even if you are my sister-in-law, I won't listen this time. Go back and get gold coins from the king. I'll sell him the grain, and whoever he gives it to is none of my business. But he pays the current market price! He wants to break up my army and drain my grain reserves with one casual order? Does he think Quel'Danil is Quel'Thalas?"
Yu Lin Bloodhawk said, "I have equipment and grain, and with so many refugees around, recruits won't be a problem. Don't forget, Quel'Danil already has several thousand troops, an air force, and a navy. Push me too far, and I'll arm five or six human legions on the spot and fight him! I don't believe he'd risk Silvermoon City falling to the trolls of Zul'Aman just to wage war on me."
"Don't you dare!" Sylvanas snapped in fury.
"Why wouldn't I?" Yu Lin Bloodhawk turned to Antonidas. "Old man, how about we make a deal?"
"What sort of deal?" Antonidas asked with a genial smile.
"Simple. If you can stop the others from buying this batch of military supplies from me, I'll knock two ships off what you owe. How about it? All you have to do is say a few words in the council!"
