King Terenus opened the window of the carriage and said to one of the royal guards guarding the carriage, "Call those knights!" The royal guard took the order, and Uther wondered a little - knights, could it be that they were the companions who were knighted together that day?

King Terenus saw the doubts in Uther's heart, and said with a smile, "Lord Uther, please get out of the car, there will be a surprise for you in a moment." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Although Uther was worried about the work of clearing out the orc wolf cavalry in the Alterac Valley, he did not refuse, after all, those are his companions in the Knights of the Silver Hand, and they must be seen.

Uther got out of the carriage and waited with King Terenus by the carriage. Wrynn, Arthas, and Kalia, and of course, Frost Sorrow, with us holding the little prince by the arm, stood behind them. Soon, several knights galloped in the distance, and Uther narrowed his eyes and noticed a detail—the companions were wearing silver-white armor and robes, and the emblem embroidered on their chests was faintly a white radiant shield.

What is this sign? Uther had a thought in his heart - could this be the suit and insignia of the Knights of the Silver Hand? Soon, the four first paladins who had been knighted with Uther came to the carriage and skillfully turned and dismounted, and to Arthas's and Uther's confusion, they did not greet Uther first, but gave a standard military salute to King Terenus.

Arthas was a little puzzled - among the four knights, except for Melas Tulayan and Tirio Fortin, one was a commoner born in Lordaeron, and the other was a vassal of Lordaeron. In addition to the lords of Mardenhold Castle in Hearthvale, Gavinrad Doom and Seidan Dasohan are not from Lordaeron, but the remnants of Stormwind who have traveled with Anduin Lothar and Archbishop Alonthos Fao, and even if they respect King Terenus, they should not salute, after all, the Knights of the Silver Hand are not the subjects of King Terenus.

After saluting King Terenus, several paladins turned to Uther. This time they did not salute, because the paladins were all equal compatriots, and there was no superiority or inferiority. The tall man Saidan Dathohan said enviously to Uther: "Uther, I heard that you took Alterac Castle with 500 men and Broken Ridge Fortress with 100 men?

Uther modestly said, "Actually, it was all the idea of the Prince of Arthas. Several paladins looked at Arthas, but Arthas didn't care, just stared at Seidan Dasohan - Soladin the Great is above, and humans more than two meters tall are simply too rare!

Uther exchanged pleasantries with several paladins for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?" said the quick-talking Gavinrad Doom, "You don't know yet? The Knights of the Silver Hand have been formed, and we have brought all the knights here, and the result of the discussion between King Terenus and Lord Lothar is to let you return here and take us with us to the town of the South Seas to prevent the orcs from landing there." ”

"Assembled?" exclaimed Uther, "where? How many, how fast?" explained Tirio Fortin, "In fact, King Terenus and Archbishop Alonthos have already ordered all the priests of the kingdom of Lordaeron to come to the royal city. In order not to be known to the orc spies, it has not been announced to the public. In fact, last night, more than 700 priests had secretly entered the royal city of Lordaeron. ”

Uther paused for a moment, and looked at King Terenus. The old king smiled and said, "Soon after you left, Archbishop Alonthos gathered a total of more than a thousand priests, including the priests of Stormwind, to test each of the guards of the royal guard of Lordaeron, and selected nearly five thousand warriors who sensed the light and incorporated them into the Knights of the Silver Hand. And he selected some of the able-bodied from among the priests, and gathered together five thousand knights. Lord Uther, these people will be your subordinates from now on. ”

Uther suddenly understood what King Terenus had said in the carriage, and his heart was full of respect for the great monarch - and Aiden Pernord, who betrayed the Human Alliance, King Terenus was undoubtedly wise and selfless compared to Jean Greymane, who had not only provided shelter to the exiled kingdom of Stormwind, but also provided a large amount of supplies to the kingdom of Stormgard, which was defending the Saldo Bridge alone, and now contributed his own personal guard, so it is no wonder that the people of Stormwind like Dasohan and Gavinrad also respected him.

Uther knew that if the members of the Knights of the Silver Hand were selected directly from among the peasants or priests, they would face the dilemma that the new paladins did not know how to fight, and such a team would have to be engaged in the war with the orcs for at least a year. And now, directly turning the heroic and warlike royal guard of Lordaeron into a member of the Knights of the Silver Hand has undoubtedly accelerated this process for several years, and won a valuable bargaining chip for the victory of humanity.

Thinking of this, Uther also stood solemnly and gave a military salute to King Terenus. Arthas was a little confused on the side - in his memory, the first members of the Silver Hand Knights were not Lordaeron's Royal Guards, how could there be such a big change compared to the other periods? Arthas looked at Frost Grief, but the little magic sword didn't know what was going on.

King Terenus smiled and said to Uther, "Lord Uther, what is the point of this for the survival of mankind? If it weren't for the lack of talent of the others, I would love to incorporate all the royal guards into the Knights of the Silver Hand and let them learn to use the Light." However, I have a small request, which I hope Lord Uther will grant. ”

Uther hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please speak. I'll do my best. King Terenas beckoned Arthas to come to him, touched Arthas's head, and said, "My son, Arthas, is the heir of Lordaeron. If we can't drive the orcs out of the Eastern Kingdom before we get old, then the task after that will depend on their generation to complete. Therefore, I hope that you will take Arthas as a disciple and train him to be a good commander. ”
