Chapter 105: Aristocrats
"There is something strange about Northrend, the dwarves have received reports of 'Muradine Copperbeard' appearing there as a kind of immortal monster. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Varian remembered this, the dwarves had informed all the members of the alliance about this, but they did not pay attention to it!
"Prince Kael'thas. Varian turned his head.
"Your Majesty. Kael'thas nodded slightly.
"Regarding your request for aid and reinforcements to the Alliance, I can't make a decision alone, the Lordaeron royal family ---- all sacrificed, and I must contact the other Alliance members to decide together. ”
"Of course, Your Majesty, but I beg you as soon as possible, my people are already showing symptoms of mild demonic addiction. "Kael'thas knows that Varian can't make such a big decision alone, and Stormwind alone has limited assistance.
"The liaison has departed, accompanied by the court mage, and they will be here in two weeks. "That's the best Varian can do at the moment.
"Thank you. "Two weeks, still too long, but Kael'thas has no other way, he doesn't know who else can help him but Stormwind, which was also destroyed by the army of the undead shortly after he left Darra.
"I have gathered all the nobles in the kingdom, and I hope that Priest Smith will explain to them the situation in Lordaeron, they ---- not believe that the army of the undead is strong enough to threaten the entire world. ”
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, isn't it enough that Lordaeron, Quel'Salas, and Dalaran have been destroyed one after another?"
"Whew~" Varian let out a sigh. "You have to understand that not everyone is long-sighted, short-sightedness is the common problem of most people, those nobles ----"
"Your Majesty. "Bolval stopped his king at the right time, and it was better not for outsiders to know too much about the ugliness of his country.
"You know, I know what they do. "Varian respects this duke, but during this time, there are some things, they have gone a little too far.
"Your Majesty, the matter of the 'army of the dead' is important, and the matter of the nobles can be resolved later. Benedictas also understands what the nobles of Stormwind are like, but now is not the time to say that.
"Your Excellency, I don't know if you've ever heard the saying---- 'If you go outside, you must first settle inside'. "Benny tries to use lingua franca to express 'idioms' clearly. "I call your aristocratic behavior here 'internal friction', a country with serious 'internal friction', I don't think it has the ability to resist external threats, especially the army of the undead!"
Benedictas glanced at Benny in amazement, the priest's etiquette and language were impeccable, but the words were full of disdain for the nobility.
"You hate nobles?" asked Varian, with only curiosity in his words.
"Of course not, Your Majesty, I like nobles like you, but I show disdain for nobles who have forgotten their glory. ”
"Maybe we can discuss this privately. Varian gave Benny a deep look. "Now, let's talk about how to convince those nobles. ”
"Your Majesty, I would like to know how many troops Stormwind can currently deploy to fight a war that spans half a continent. ”
Benny's straightforwardness made those present a little stunned, these things, strictly speaking, are a state secret, and it is really unreactive to ask them like this, even Sylvanas nervously tugged at his priest's robe behind him, and Gavin Rad even touched his forehead, this 'leader' is always so 'unexpected'.
"Less than two legions. Varian said suddenly.
"Your Majesty!" a military general who Benny didn't know suddenly said.
Varian shook his hand: "This is all the combat forces we can send at the moment, and the problem of ---- supply is serious, Stormwind is currently facing a shortage of supplies, and all the alliance countries in the north have fallen, we must bear all the logistical pressure ourselves." ”
"Thank you for the trust you have placed in me, Your Majesty. Benny bowed deeply. "I have a better offer. ”
"Speak. Varian shifted his posture to indicate that he was listening.
"Combined, there are currently 542 paladins, 4,000 hoplites, and 10,000 light infantry, all of whom are veterans of the war, and a large number of them have participated in the Orc Wars and the Defensive Battle of Quel'Thalas. ”
"542 paladins?!" Boval exclaimed, Stormwind City currently has no more than 200 paladins combined, and even if it is Lordaeron's 'Silver Hand', it is impossible to have so many paladins.
"And counting, Lord Duke. ”
"Do you have a way to train paladins quickly?" Varian keenly grasped the point.
"Yes, Your Majesty. "Benny knew he wasn't going to get much help in the league, and he didn't come here to get so-called aid at all.
"Are you serious?" Benedictas, a disciple of Alonthos Fao, knew more about the Paladins than anyone else thought.
"I can baptize a trained soldier who has reached a certain foundation for the faith. ”
"What about the degree of faith?" said Benedictas' eyes with an inexplicable light.
"Live up to your strong beliefs in what you do and know what you're fighting for. ”
"Just like that?!"
"That's it. "What is the Holy Light, Benny has been thinking about it since he began studying in the Church, and in the end, he came to the conclusion that the Holy Light is the power of the 'heart', and although the so-called doctrine of the Holy Light Church is good, it is not the will of the Light itself, because the Light itself does not have a specific will, pray for it, and when your 'faith' reaches a certain level, it will respond to you, and the so-called 'faith' is more of a spontaneous behavior, not a necessary condition. As for whether there is a being in the dark who is watching the whole world and giving people holy light, to be honest, Benny does not know and does not believe it. Because a living example is standing in front of him, Benedictas should have become a believer in Twilight at this time, but his power of light is still there, and the light has not left him, and in the game of his previous life, he can even transform into 'shadow form' and 'light form' at will, because he firmly believes that everything he did is right.
"Looks like we know something amazing?" Varian knew that paladin's training was complicated and difficult, but he didn't know the specifics.
"If what Pastor Smith says is true, it's really a ---- very remarkable thing. Benedictas looked at Benny deeply.
"By oath of the Light, I certify that all that Benedict Smith says is true. Gavinrad stepped forward.
"By swearing in the name of the Sun, I certify that all that Benedict Smith says is true. Sylvanas stepped forward.
