Chapter 672: Stratholme (9)
"I've repeated it over and over again, why don't you understand?" Anne tapped her knuckles against the heavy book on her knee, "to replace Lordaeron now, there is neither legitimacy nor any feasibility, the establishment of a state is not as simple as you think, it is not something that can be done by gathering people to speak and speak, how do you bypass the inheritance law? How do you gain recognition among the people? How many people can devote to the revision of the law and the construction of the official system?" The most fundamental question is, what kind of system should a new country adopt?"
She looked up at the people in the room, Loria leaned back in her chair with her eyes closed, and didn't say a word from the beginning, while Clement, who had the most voice besides her, just looked down at the floor - she had already made her position clear, and that was to support only Loria's decision. As for the rest, they either bowed their heads in approval or glared at her angrily.
She was the only one in this room in the Scarlet Crusaders of military and political unity who had little to do with the military, which meant that any proposal that favored radicalism and the military was more likely to be approved by the majority.
"Perhaps, we can bypass Lordaeron. In the silence of the crowd, Kana suddenly spoke, "As far as I know, Her Royal Highness is the only heir to Stannbride...... It's the word you say, legitimacy, isn't it?"
It was nothing more than her personal appeal, and everyone knew that this woman was a fanatical Steinbled Restorationist.
However, the small country that did not enter the stream was destroyed by the fleeing orcs even before the undead invaded...... Most people thought so, but no one dared to say it, the silence continued, everyone had their own demands, most people wanted Loria to be king directly, no matter how troublesome, at least one queen could do a lot, such as appointing a whole bunch of marshals or dividing new nobles.
"Ah...... I remember," Mills, who had been fugue, suddenly grinned, "Doesn't the eldest lady still have the title of Duke heir, and absolutely no one would object to her inheriting the title of Duke of Mograine, and all the people of Lordaeron must be willing to follow the family of the two Ashes Bringers." ”
Now even Tyran is starting to get angry, no matter what the outcome is, where will Loria leave him if she only inherits the title of duke, he is also the great nobleman of Lordaeron, the duke of the Hearthvale...... Although now he is only like a half-puppet and snorts.
"There is no conflict between the identities of a duke and a foreign queen, right? Kana interjected suddenly.
"It's a good idea, no matter what kind of queen it is, it has both appeal and people can get used to her identity. Anne couldn't help but pat the book on her knees in agreement, "In the name of the Duke, recover the land of Lordaeron, and in the name of the Queen, prepare for the establishment of the court and staff." ”
Clement turned his head to look at Loria's slightly curled lips, then smiled and said, "I agree with this proposal." ”
Her cronies are scattered throughout the command hierarchy of the army, and she is probably the most authoritative person here.
"Ahem......" Miss Pink Fur finally stopped pretending to be deaf and dumb, and she interrupted everyone's whispered discussion, "Since everyone thinks so, let's decide so." ”
Who cares what poor Tyran thinks.
"Please, you begin to prepare, I will prepare in Stratholm all the titles that belong to me, Duke of Mograine of Tirisfar, and Queen of the Hills, and as for the capital of Stannbrad, it must be on that lovely island, which has never been the land of any country anyway. As if not giving anyone a chance to give advice, she said her decision one after another, "The name of the archipelago is officially the Silverwind Islands, and I have also decided to withdraw most of the troops from the monastery to the Valley of the Hearth, and as for the refugees there, try to arrange to go to the Silverwind Islands, leaving only a minimum of defensive forces, quiet, quiet!" Duke Ferdin, please go with Clement to the Hearth Valley to arrange the deployment changes, and then, while I am here to attract the attention of the undead, I ask you to set up two semi-permanent camps on the way from the Hearthvale to the Eastern Plaguelands, control the farm area to the southeast, and finally, cross the river at the junction and enter the Eastern Plaguelands to clear the undead of Daron County...... Ann Linse, I hereby appoint you Governor of the Silverwind Islands, and you are solely responsible for all affairs of the islands...... As for the rest, we must have rested long enough, and the task of rebuilding the city is left to the dwarves, and it is time for us to go out and find trouble with the natural disaster. ”
"As you wish. Clement stood up and bowed to Loria, not complaining about the difficulty of the task, and Anne nodded, she was satisfied with the arrangement, Stratholme and the Plaguelands were too dark, and she would rather stay on a beautiful and rich island.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the restoration of the motherland and homeland does not depend on who is the king, but on the sword in our hands and the firm faith in the Holy Light in our hearts. "Loria is not as idle as she appears, the so-called meeting to discuss the future is just to bring everyone together to listen to her arrangement, and as long as the scene of her lifting the Ember Messenger in the Light has not faded from the hearts of the people, she has enough prestige to carry out what she wants, "We will work together for one goal in the future, which is to seize the vast plague lands and expel the scourge and foreign armies forever, and the first step is to establish a control belt from the Valley of the Hearth to Stratholme. ”
The Crusaders were always clamoring to kill all the dead, but they had never had such grand plans, and the past struggles were full of despair, but now she had mentioned the goal of liberating the Plaguelands, and it didn't seem impossible to do it?
Those present remembered the scene after the recovery of most of Lordaeron, and there were no more plagues and natural disasters...... If she could do that, then it would seem like a matter of course and pleasure for Mograine to replace the pathetic Minecil.
Not to mention the countless wars that accompany this grand goal - to take out the undead, to take out the Silver Dawn, to drive out the Alliance and the Horde, and those who survive will create their own enduring families, and with the rise of the new Lordaeron, they will also take the place of the poor old nobles and take their place in the history of the afterlife.
Although he couldn't get a queen who belonged to Lordaeron, he at least got a good plan, and everyone seemed to be satisfied, except for Tyran, who didn't even have a chance to open his mouth as soon as he entered the door.
Soon after, in a simple ceremony in the dilapidated and gloomy square of Stratholme, witnessed by hundreds of crusaders, Loria took the flag that belonged to her parents, and before the messenger left with the news, the new Duke of Mograine, the Messenger of Ashes, the young queen of Stannbride poured out with her mad followers.
