Hearing Uther's evaluation of Urien, King Terenus put Arthas down, touched the top of his head, and asked Uther curiously, "Uther, I heard that your negotiation with the orcs this time was a little unsmooth, what's going on?" ”

Uther glanced at Arthas, and in the presence of King Terenus, he told the little prince about Arthas's nonsense, and then said: "Your Majesty, although Arthas is very talented, I think he is still too merciful to his enemies, and his wayward actions almost caused Mograine to die senselessly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Arthas sighed again and again, his teacher really hasn't changed at all, and in front of everyone, he has never refused to save some face for himself. Tirio couldn't help it, and interjected: "Your Majesty, I put forward the idea of negotiating with the orcs, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Arthas just perfected the specific details for me." During the previous discussion, all the paladins present agreed to negotiate with the orcs, and I don't understand why Uther changed his mind later. ”

Uther argued with Tirio in public: "Tirio, the reason why I agreed to negotiate with the orcs is because I think this will reduce the casualties of the paladin. But since the orcs refused to negotiate, it would be better to defeat them in one fell swoop, so why rely on a duel? ”

Tirio also said, "If Uther says so, then a duel can also be effective in reducing paladins' casualties. Uther retorted, "How can that be the same?" What if Mograini loses? The two paladins were arguing as if no one was around, and Arthas helplessly held his forehead - the impression that Teacher Uther was not such a person, and when he was in Stratholme, even if he threatened to condemn him to treason, this old stubborn man who refused to destroy the citizens who had become rotting corpses had become a pioneer in the slaughter of orcs?

Just then, King Terenus spoke: "Uther, Tirio, put a pause in your quarrel and take me and Ser Lothar to see the orc captives. Uther was about to say something, but when she looked up and saw the majestic eyes of King Terenus, she finally didn't speak, and led King Terenus and Anduin Lothar to the fence where the orc captives were kept.

King Terenus and Anduin Lothar stood at the edge of the bar, and King Terenus asked, "Didn't you say it was an orc wolf cavalry?" What about the wolves? I told Sir Lothar about the white wolves, and Ser Lothar said he had never seen them, and he should be sure that the orcs had not been involved in the war with the Stormwind Kingdom. ”

Tirio hurriedly said: "Those wolves are too troublesome to bring back, they have been killed in the valley, and the corpses have been burned along with the camp of these orcs. King Terenus nodded and asked Uther, "Uther, what do you think of when you look at these orcs?" Uther was stunned for a moment, looked at the group of cowering orc captives, and said with a frown: "Your Majesty, although these orcs look very pitiful now, they may at any time be like their barbarian kind, and slaughter on our land. We can give justice to these beasts, but compassion is not necessary. ”

King Terenus shook his head, pointed to the orc mother and son near the fence and said, "Look at this orc mother, despite her own fear, she still keeps her baby behind her. Maybe they'll kill each other with humans for some reason, but at least for now, they're just a pair of civilians trembling in the face of fear, and they have nothing to do with war. ”

Anduin Lothar suddenly said, "King Terenus is right, Uther, look into their eyes. Uther was stunned for a moment, took a closer look, and said, "What's the matter?" "The head of the Knights of the Silver Hand didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Ser Lothar reminded Uther, "Do you remember the orc soldiers who attacked Stormwind? Their eyes are all blood-red. Some of them even have some strange skin on their bodies. But none of the orcs, warriors or civilians, had blood-red eyes, despite some differences in the color of their pupils. "Because the armor of the orc warriors had not been removed, Sir Lothar could easily tell the difference between warriors and civilians.

Uther had to admit that what Lothar said was the truth, but he still couldn't accept that for a warrior, kindness to the enemy was tantamount to irresponsibility to himself and his companions. King Terenus saw Uther's thoughts and said to the head of the Knights of the Silver Hand, "Uther, if one day you were confronted with a group of human civilians who did not make a mistake but threatened many more, would you kill them?" ”

Arthas, who had been following the crowd and comforting Frost's grief who wanted to rush over and dismantle Uther, heard his father's words, and suddenly looked up at his father, King Terenus, who was now talking about the choice that Arthas and Uther faced when they were in Stratholme.

Uther quickly made the same choice as he did back then: "No, I won't. Civilians are not responsible for faults that have nothing to do with them, and besides, it is against my principles to kill human beings other than traitors and unforgivable criminals. King Terenus nodded, pointed to the group of orc captives who were being held, and said, "These orcs, the group of civilians I just mentioned, are not at fault of their own, if anything, they are born orcs." Uther, are you going to kill innocent civilians just because you're racially? "King Terenus's words were a little harsh, not only Uther, but even the few paladins from Stormwind City, led by Gavin Rad and Dasohan, lowered their heads and seriously thought about the old king's words.

Uther retorted with some difficulty, "However, this is the ...... of war" The leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand was deeply conflicted, and even his rebuttal was a little pale - after all, regardless of the location of the strategic location, it was they who invaded the hermitage of the Frostwolf Clan, burned down the houses of the orcs, and took them as prisoners.

King Terenus beckoned to Mograine and said, "Mograine, Uther said you almost died in a duel with the orc leader, do you blame Arthas? Mograine put his feet together, clenched his right fist and slammed into his breastplate, which had been slightly deflated in the heart of him, and shouted, "For the glory of Lordaeron!" He didn't seem to answer King Terenus directly, but his desire to die was palpable.

King Terenus nodded, looked at Tirio Fording again, and said to the lord of Hearthvale, "Tirio, would you be willing to give your life for Arthas's orders if Mograine were to be replaced by you?" The owner of the castle did not hesitate at all, and despite being one of the most noble nobles in Lordaeron, Tirio gave the same answer as Mograine: "For the glory of King Terenus, I will not hesitate to die." ”
