Chapter 3: The Journey of the Silver Moon (Part II)

The magical realm is still full of elegance and magic, and the clean and tidy table is filled with all kinds of exquisite food, most of which are vegetarian and a little meat, and this little meat is probably to meet the needs of humans from afar. The hall is so well lit that even at night, it is decorated with lights as if it were day, and the mirrors of the dome reflect the light sources on the columns, making the whole hall magnificently illuminated. Compared with the thick and mysterious atmosphere of the human palace, the newly built Silver Moon City is more enlightened and transparent.

And this design also gave Ares an inspiration, could Lordaeron's council hall also do the same and illuminate the entire hall? However, the magic materials unique to the elves are not easy to obtain.

"Ares, I heard that this time you returned to Lordaeron, bringing not only the army of the Alliance, but also a whole new form of government, and you named it the Republic?"

At the banquet, Ares, who had returned from afar, undoubtedly became the protagonist of the banquet. High Elves, oh no, it's Blood Elves now. The members of the Blood Elves Council discuss with Ares about the formation and feasibility of the new government. Of course, they don't really want to copy the system. They even said that what they were thinking about was how to prevent this system from spreading to Silvermoon City as well. Because Quel'Thalas, unlike Lordaeron, they are still nobles who rule the entire race. Unlike Lordaeron, the royal family has fallen and there are few nobles.

"Yes, it's still in the trial and exploration phase. The parliament is composed of 300 members who govern the country together, and these 300 deputies are freely elected by the common people. General business, more than half of the votes can be reached. Decisions on certain special and major events must be passed by more than 70 percent of the votes. ”

Faced with the questions of the high-level mages of the blood elves, Ares answered politely.

"So, what are the three hundred? I mean, are most of them nobles or commoners? Or is it separate? ”

Blood Elf mage Fabreth asked. Ares sensitively sensed that this was the main thing they wanted to know.

"Separated. It was divided into a noble council and a plebeian council. The Council of Three Hundred I have just spoken of refers primarily to the Commoners' Assembly, which can also be called the Citizens' Assembly, while the Noble Council, which can also be understood literally, is mainly composed of nobles, with a small number of members, only twenty members. Both the Noble Council and the Commoner Assembly enjoyed various powers, including legislative power and supervisory power. They are separate, but they are a whole, and they have the effect of supervising and restraining each other. ”

Ares replied with a smile. An embarrassed smile could be seen on the faces of the Blood Elf mages. Obviously, this system did resolve the contradictions between the aristocracy and the commoners to a certain extent. It also gives civilians a real chance to come and run the country. In Silvermoon City, this is obviously not the case, although they also have a council, but the councilors are all composed of some respected nobles. If Lordaeron's pilot is successful, it will undoubtedly have a certain conceptual impact on neighboring countries.

"And what if there is a conflict of opinion between the Council of Nobles and the Council of Commoners?"

Blood Elf High Mage Fabreth continued to ask.

"The Plebeian Assembly has the right of veto."

Taking a sip of wine, Ares returned unmistakingly.

This answer made the Blood Elf Councillors present immediately feel itchy all over their bodies.

And Ares can see it, but this is Quel'Thalas, not Lordaeron, and it doesn't matter if he is.

"In fact, when Arthas slaughtered the city, there were very few nobles left in Lordaeron, and with the years of war and displacement, their assets were actually not much. Aside from their names, they are actually not much different from civilians. So I can step in forcefully and follow this plan. This is determined by exceptional circumstances. ”

Ares continued. At the same time, Ares found that when she said this, Winlessa barely asked questions the whole time, she just sat quietly in her place, smiling and listening. Ares wasn't sure she had no interest in politics, and it was impossible for someone who had no interest in politics to be the leader of a kingdom, but perhaps she was more focused on listening than asking questions. Even, these questions may have been thought out in advance and asked by others.

"Sounds good, but there has never been such an advanced form of government on this continent."

The Blood Elf mages complimented.

"Thank you, but it's just an ideal. None of us knows what will happen next. I can only do my best to maintain it. Let the civilians of Lordaeron truly become the masters of the country. ”

Ares replied with a smile. But essentially, Ares knew that a republic wasn't necessarily the best form of government, but that it fit into Lordaeron's status quo for the time being. And once Lordaeron is fully developed to form a nation like the Stormwind Kingdom, or even larger than the Stormwind Kingdom, then a republic may not necessarily be suitable for it. At that time, it may be necessary to restore the monarchy and govern the country with a high degree of centralization. But that's another story.

"Anyway, you're brave enough to try."

The other Blood Elves present continued to compliment.

"Hopefully it will turn out to be a success."

"By the way, Lord Ares, who is the leader of Lordaeron's current army, I have heard that in just one winter, a new army can be formed. Are they also led by the Parliament? I'm afraid that's not realistic......"

Councillor Fabreth continued to ask. Ares finally realized that these questions were in fact the elves' concerns, but the blonde mage acted as the questioner.

"It's unrealistic, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and an army can't be led by a council of three hundred people, it must have its own generals. In fact, the army came from the civilian population, and the generals were selected from among the civilian population. Of course, the candidate must be an officer with extensive combat experience who has served in the kingdom of Lordaeron. ”

Ares replied.

"And who is this man?"

The elves asked.

"Brooke. Scott. Former cavalry commander of the Ninth Legion of Lordaeron. ”

Ares said calmly.

"I hope he doesn't be like Galliss."

An elven ranger said bluntly. Archmage Joyyson on the side immediately coughed, which was well known to everyone......

"Garissus is a bastard! Without him, the Lordaeron Alliance would not have been destroyed. Not to mention that the Blood Elves will sacrifice so many excellent warriors in vain. ”

At this time, Ares suddenly broke out and cursed. Eased the atmosphere on the field. You can see that the elven nobles immediately cast grateful glances. Is there a human leader who is willing to admit the mistakes of his people? During the conversation with Ares, many of the Blood Elves affirmed Wen Lesa's statement and judgment even more.
