Chapter 256: Sacrifice and Hope
The golden coffin was quietly placed on the carriage decorated with gold and white satin, eight tall Quel'Salas horses dressed in silver-white armor, pulling the carriage slowly, paladins in silver and gold armor stopped one step at a time on both sides, the people of Stratholme stood on both sides of the street, bowed their heads, silently threw the flowers in their hands, the air was sprinkled with golden petals, and the coffin procession behind the carriage often did not see the end.

In front of the coffin, a priest in a white and gold robe stood with a cane, the golden wings of light behind him were completely closed, and the pillar of holy light enveloped the entire carriage.
An inexplicable melody suddenly sounded in the sky, the melody was sad, but it seemed to contain some kind of high-spirited hope.
The white clouds in the sky were suddenly lifted, and the heroic spirits like golden angels floated down from the sky, and they floated beside the coffin with golden wings of light stretched out.
A heroic spirit floated above the coffin, she sang an unknown song, and the Holy Light Buddha was also inspired by the song, and the pillar of light that enveloped the carriage became brighter.
The endless procession of coffins slowly walked out of the city gate along the road, and the road outside the city was full of people seeing them off.
The huge procession walked slowly, and the people gathered behind the procession.
The carriage wrapped in the holy light gradually drove into a huge public sale.
A few words are engraved on the solemn stone gate of the public sale: the resting place of the heroic soul.
The huge coffin was slowly lifted by the Heroic Spirits, and they floated into the building in the middle of the public offering. There is a statue of a paladin with a warhammer and a covenant----- Uther Lightbringer.
"I have fulfilled my promise to you. Benny muttered to himself as he held the huge coffin. "Our homes are back in the hands of the people, and even if there is darkness, they will eventually be illuminated by the light, and Arthas, the traitor hiding in the bitter cold, will pay for his crimes!"
Benny withdrew his hand and knelt on the ground, and the paladins and people behind him all leaned over, only the Heroic Spirit stood with his sword in hand.
"May your soul return to the Light forever!
On top of the coffin, Uther lay peacefully, his hands resting on his chest, his hammer in his hands. It was a statue, but Benny knew that the paladin in the coffin must be as peaceful as the statue.
Benny stood up in front of the building and looked around at the crowd.
"Uther, Lightbringer!" he exclaimed. "The noblest paladin!" Benny paused for a moment. "He is worthy of His noble soul, He is worthy of what the Light expects of him! His noble soul has influenced countless people! We have countless warriors to follow in his footsteps! Like Uther, they gave up their lives to protect the faith in their hearts! Even though his body has died! I believe that his soul will guide us forever in the Light, together with those who have died valiantly!
"The light lasts forever!" as if someone was organized, and the voices of the people were unified.
The Holy Light Buddha was also affected by the hearts of everyone, and golden light crumbs suddenly floated in the sky.
The staff was held aloft, the huge statue was lifted by the Light, and the Heroic Spirits slowly lowered the coffin under the statue, where the statue fell, and Uther Lightbringer and all the warriors who died for Lordaeron rested there.
The funeral of the Lightbringer and the Fallen Warrior had been going on for a long time, and the land watched by the Light was long buried with all the warriors who had not died in Lordaeron, and their loved ones lingered in front of the tombstones, unwilling to leave for a long time.
In front of the tomb of the Lightbringer, Benny, Sylvanas, Kael'thas, the Prophet Veron, Gavin Rad, Tirio, and others are making their final farewells.
"I believe that time will not erase his existence, and his deeds will be sung forever. Benny stood at the tomb, his robe and staff gone.
"He's a hero to all. Kael'thas bowed to the statue.
"May the Holy Light protect this place forever. Velun stepped forward and bowed.
"Your will will endure, my old friend. Tirio and Gavin Rad bowed.
Everyone bowed to the statue shrouded in light, and Benny and the others walked out of the hall, the people still gathered outside the hall to look at their leader.
"Our warriors are bathed in light, and their heroic spirits watch over us. Benny looked around. "We will bury our sorrows in our hearts and rebuild our homeland until the day of vengeance ----! "I will inherit the will of the Lightbringer!Arthas will pay the price for his treachery!And the Burning Legion that has been trying to destroy us!We will make them regret their sights on Lordaeron!Because!This is the place where the Light has refuted, and we have the bravest warriors!Our armor is bright!Our weapons are bright!All evils that seek to invade our homeland will pay the price in blood!!"
"Defend glory with blood!!" the knights shouted the slogan of the Silver Hand, and their voices shattered the sky.
――――――――――
Three days later, in the Stratholme Council, Lordaeron's current administrative center, Benny and Lordaeron's officials were discussing something in the conference room.
"You mean to reorganize the Knights of the Silver Hand?" Fordin looked at Benny, who was sitting at the top, wondering what the leader's intentions were.
"I'm talking about the 'expansion' of Dawn Light. The glimmer of light from the Naru sigil obscured Benny's shining eyes, and he looked at Fording and said, "The reorganized Knights of the Silver Hand will be responsible for all matters of the paladins, including but not limited to the selection of paladins and the training of new paladins. The Paladin Academy will also be stripped of the Ministry of Education system and placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Knights of the Silver Hand. ”
"I beg your pardon, Your Excellency, I still don't understand. "Fording spoke for the others.
"All military-related matters will be stripped of our current administrative system, and the military and administration will be completely independent and will not interfere with each other. In the future, the responsibility of the 'Ministry of Education' will be to be responsible for matters related to 'civil and administrative education', such as the 'School of Administration', which has nothing or is not closely related to the military. And ----" Benny looked at Khadgar, who was sitting on one side. "Mages, warriors, and rangers will all form the same organization, and their duties are the same as those of the Silver Hand Knights, and these organizations will directly belong to the 'Military Strategy Department' of the 'Dawn Light'!"
"'Military Strategy'?" said Tirio, hearing a new word.
"Our military reform has only just begun, Your Excellency Foding. Benny pulled out a thick plan. "The previous reforms were more about the threats we face today, and what I'm talking about now is our future path!" )
