Chapter 484: Sign 2
Eric looked at the abbey with some emotion, and then he saw the High Lord Mograini and the High Prosecutor Fairbanks, who were looking out of the cathedral.
So, he bowed slightly, and when he looked up again, the two big men had already looked away to continue their communication.
"By contrast, the great Mr. Uther, and Lady Gianna......." Eric said to his young student in a slightly mocking tone, ignoring his already somewhat surprised face.
"Oh, how I adore them. However, these two honorable people chose to stay out of that incident. In fact, if they had chosen to strongly oppose it, even if Arthas was a prince, he would not have been able to carry out the massacre smoothly. And yet they didn't, why? Because they know that what Arthas said is right. But they could not approve of it, because it would stain their glorious name with blood. Therefore, escaping has become the best choice. ”
"In the case of Stratholme, Arthas did what he was supposed to do as a prince, and even though he is depraved today, I still cannot deny my admiration for him in this matter...... Admire. ”
"Yes, admiration. You don't have to look at me, Yuri. Eric straightened his prosecutor's robes, trying to make it look more majestic and intimidating.
"I also thought that if I had been the decision-maker at the time, I think I would have made the same decision as him, but it would never have been as crisp as him."
"So what do you do? Mentor Eric? Young Yuri nervously asked his mentor for the answers he wanted.
"I'm probably going to strictly ban everyone in the city from entering or leaving, and then I'm going to come up with a way to slaughter the city...... Of course, people would object, so I stopped insisting on it. Eric thought briefly for a moment, then continued to Yuri, "Then, under the pretext of researching a solution to the plague, put it off until more plague symptoms appear. Then I will slaughter the city for better reasons, and I think I will be under much less pressure and non-parliamentary at that time. ”
"But if that happens, I can't guarantee that any infected citizens or simply undead spies will leave the city during this time...... You have to know that it's almost impossible to keep a serious eye on everyone. And once this happens, it means the further expansion of the plague of the undead. This is a bad thing for Lordaeron, but it is a testament to my personal wisdom as the one who ordered the slaughter. As more people feel the horrors of the plague, I, the first to propose the slaughter of cities to prevent the spread of the plague, may still be regarded as a hero......"
"So, at that time, Alsace actually saved Lordaeron at the cost of his own reputation, so I admired him."
Yuri seemed a little upset, and he twisted his head to the side.
"Okay boy, don't think too much." Seeing that Yuri was still silent, Eric smiled rarely. "You're a very talented prosecutor, so you shouldn't be affected by these negative emotions. I'll go first, and besides, don't talk about it to anyone else today, Arthas is depraved, and we can't be a little sure of him, even if we are actually doing what he used to do. ”
"And! What I'm going to say next might make you feel better. Eric looked at Yuri with a smile, "The target who can be sent to us for review is not necessarily innocent. Many of the soldiers were former robbers, thieves, and some of the most unclean with their hands and feet. For them, it's their retribution! Just because they joined the crusade should not erase the wrongs of the past. ”
"And, when I was in the Valley of the Hearth under the guidance of the Grand Commander. All the high-ranking prosecutors we were present saw it with their own eyes! Mentor Eric looked in the direction of Hearthdale with extreme hatred, "An undead disguised as the Grand Prosecutor's Ethan Lion Guard, who attacked the Grand Commander who came to a fair trial while he was being examined! ”
"So......
Patting Yuri on the shoulder, Eric turned and walked out. However, Eric's words did not untie Yuri's knot, but only made his knot even bigger.
The young prosecutor became deeply suspicious of their actions.
What we're doing now...... In fact, it is not different from Alsace back then?
"Ugh." Young Yuri shook his head and walked helplessly in the direction his mentor had left.
Here, the High Lord Mograini and his advisor Falbanks also became a little serious.
"Seriously, I can't think of it. Darkby turned out to be the undead spy lurking around Ethanlien. Fairbanks shook his head, his face incredulous.
"We've been acquainted with him for a long time, and we've never noticed anything unusual about him. But he would be accused of being a spy, and what was even more unacceptable was that he actually attacked the commander after being corrected......"
The Great Lord Mograini also frowned deeply, he was also there that day, and he didn't understand it very well. Why did a servant warrior who had followed them for many years suddenly become a spying agent of the Scourge?
And he was discovered by Dassault Khan, and if someone else had found out, Mograini might have doubted the authenticity of the matter.
Datsol Khan was a veteran paladin, one of the first warriors to receive the Light, and Mograine could not believe his words.
Immediately after he was purified by the Light, he revealed the ugly face of the undead, which was incredible.
Is black magic so powerful? In this way, who else can be trusted?
The Great Lord's brow furrowed deeply.
It's been almost a month since that incident, and it's because of this incident that all the priests have been part-time prosecutors, trained as Grand Commanders, and filled into patrol squads of more than 25 people each.
There are good things and bad things that come with it.
The soldiers became more heroic than before, and these bravery were fueled by the undead killing their companions with dark magic and using their corpses to impersonate them......
The bad thing is that these days old Mograini has a vague feeling that this matter has deviated from its original purpose. It's not about screening soldiers for undead spies, it's about people in question who go to jail after a simple trial.
It seems that this matter was promoted by Grand Commander Dasuo Khan, and the scope of screening was expanded from soldiers to officers and civilians.
Now, some of the junior officers and some of the soldiers are already in fear.
As for the civilian population.....
Old Mograini, the Grand Lord, sighed, as if he didn't want to think about it.
Masaseki said to Fairbanks, who was beside him, "I think this matter can end here, it's a pointless act. It has affected our soldiers, our officers and civilians, and this is not normal. ”
"But this is an order from Grand Commander Dassault Khan.," Farbanks hesitated, "and we all saw it at the beginning......."
"We already have a lot of soldiers in our prisons, and we shouldn't have decided to do this so quickly and in such a hurry." After thinking for a while, the Great Lord's brow furrowed, and he turned his head to look at his advisor seriously, "Honestly, Fairbanks!" Do you have any magic that can detect undead spies? ”
Fairbanks shook his head, and he said helplessly, "Actually, we can't be directly sure that a soldier is a spy of the undead. There is no such light spell either. ”
"The priests of the monastery are praying to the Light day and night for revelation. But," Fairbanks said thoughtfully, touching his chin, "the undead spy was discovered by the Grand Commander last time, so maybe he had something to do?" ”
"What?!! You don't even have any magic skills? Then why are you holding so many soldiers in prison?!! ”
The Grand Lord Mograini looked at him dumbfounded, and then without waiting for his advisor to explain, he kept shaking his head as if he was a little angry.
He somewhat understood why there were constant screams coming from the underground prison!
Every day, soldiers are pressed to prison, and I am still worried about why my soldiers will be controlled by black magic!
It turns out that it's all ......
"This is ridiculous!! Are you crazy?!! How did you do that? ”
Old Mograini was angry and worried, he didn't know how these things worked. Because that's not what he's supposed to do. However, no pastor or prosecutor has ever told him that it is up to the prosecutor to determine whether the screening is the undead!
The leader of this matter is Dassault Khan, and the person in charge is Ethan Lien, which he should not ask about, and he can't ask!
At the beginning, I just thought it was just an ordinary screening!
That's all!!
"But it's the order of the Grand Commander, and," said Fairbanks, with some hesitation, "we all witness the ...... of the spy"
"Alas!!"
Old Mograine sighed heavily, out of awe of the unknown. He was persuaded by Dassault Khan to agree to screen the soldiers for undead spies, but what he didn't expect was that the prosecutors did not have a clear means to prove whether a person was an undead spies!
This is simply terrible for an army!! This will shake the minds of the soldiers and completely crush this army, which has built up confidence and hope with great difficulty!
What the hell are you thinking? What do you want to do?!!
Old Mograini walked on the grass without stopping, and he thought back to the time when he knew Dassault Khan.
All along, he and Grand Commander Dasuo Khan have always been in a half-friend, half-subordinate relationship.
Before the Catastrophe, Dassault Khan was the Grand Commander of the Silver Hand Knights, headed by Uther the Lightbringer, and Gavinrad Doom, the Vice-Commander. As a senior paladin in the hands of silver, the High Lord Mograini has a very close relationship with Dassault Khan, and the two often choose to go to the tavern for a few drinks after the daily training of the knights, and talk about the naughtiness of their two children.
Of course, all this soon ceases to exist, and the outbreak of natural disasters, the dissolution of the Silver Hand, and the slaughter of the prince by the prince are all caught off guard.
The disarmed Silver Hand Paladins had no choice but to return to their hometowns, but Mograine and Dassault Khan were watching.
When Field Marshal Garethus's military plan for the royal city of Lordaeron failed, the entire administration and management system of Lordaeron was completely smashed.
The whole country was enveloped in darkness in an instant.
Unsupervised and under the call and leadership of Mograini and Dassault Khan, the Silver Hand followed in his footsteps as they traveled to the Tirisfard Glade to join the newly formed Crusaders, using the name of the Silver Hand to fight the Scourge and restore their shattered nation.
Thinking back on those hard days in the past, the elder Mograine furrowed his brows, and with what he knew about his best friend Dasuo Khan, he was not the one to commit such reckless acts.
But that's what happened.
Old Mograini couldn't figure out why the Grand Commander had imprisoned the Crusader soldiers in such a hurry.
"Let Tacomby pack up and we'll go to Fireplace Valley. We're going to have a good talk with the Grand Commander," said old Mograini, looking at the hurried procurators in the monastery, with a determined gaze, "I think there must be a reason we don't know about this!" ”
