"What? The people of the Scarlet Crusaders demanded peace talks? Join forces to fight against the undead of the Scourge? ”

In the Western Plaguelands, as Ares and Tirio return to the Valley of the Hearth with their army, a startling message arrives from the east bank of the Sodoril River. A small group of the Scarlet Crusaders have come to Silver Dawn's camp and have asked for peace with Silver Dawn to discuss a fight against the Scourge together.

This would have been good news. However, when the news reached Tirio's side, almost everyone couldn't believe it. Especially Tyran, who had been in the Scarlet Crusaders for a long time, was well aware of the Scarlet Crusaders' depravity, and they could never be rational and unite with outside forces.

But that's how the news came. Even Tirio frowned, not knowing whether to believe such peace talks. It may be fake, just to lure Silver Dawn's high-ups into meeting them and then find a way to kill them. But it is also possible that it is true, because according to the guards, the Scarlet Crusaders were very low-key, and they asked to meet, and the venue was even held at the Chapel of the Wish of Light, the base camp of Silver Dawn. If it is true and you don't go to the Alliance, then the Silver Dawn and the Scarlet Crusaders will risk losing their only chance to form an Alliance.

"It is said that this group of people came without the knowledge of the High Lord Dasohan, they are a group of priests, and a small number of warriors."

Tirio took the guard's handscroll and said with a frown.

It was surrounded by the top echelons of the Silver Dawn and the Ash Inquisition, but no one dared to believe that it was a sincere peace talk.

"Why? The Scarlet Crusaders have always hated camps with different ideas from them, they regard us as traitors, why did they take the initiative to come to peace talks this time, this is too hypocritical! ”

Tyran said resentfully.

"Their reasoning is simple, Naxxramas has once again descended on the Eastern Plaguelands, yes, this time, it is closer to New Avalon, the stronghold of the Scarlet Crusaders. From the walls of the Hand of Tyr, the massive air fortress could almost be seen. ”

Tirio cautiously returned. He looked at his son with concern in his eyes. Hopefully he won't be consumed by anger and his sanity. The Scarlet Crusaders were evil in his eyes, but no matter how evil an organization was, there were good people, pure people. Until the motive for this peace talk is determined, Tirio hopes that Tyran will not be too aggressive. Otherwise, leaving the Scarlet Crusaders would be tantamount to falling from one state of madness to another.

"When danger comes, do you think of an alliance? Why didn't you ally us before? ”

Tyran was still a little dissatisfied, and he thought of all the things the Scarlet Crusaders had done in the past, and he felt a resentment in his heart that he couldn't release. He had seen the Scarlet Crusaders enter the village and slaughter unarmed civilians on the sole pretext that they might be infected with the plague...... With such an organization, Tyran didn't believe he could work with Silver Dawn sincerely.

"Tyran, my child, now is not the time to talk angry, what we need to do is to explore the possibility of cooperation. No matter how evil the organization is, there are good people, if they really come to Dasuohan without it, for the sake of the future of the Scarlet Crusade, for the sake of the people of Lordaeron, and we refuse this cooperation because of suspicion, then we will be the sinners of history. ”

Tirio said solemnly, the wrinkles on his face deepened, like a pensive old man.

He turned his head to look around, the atmosphere was a little dull, but it was clear that judging from everyone's faces, many of the people of Silver Dawn still distrusted about cooperating with the Scarlet Crusaders.

"Wait, Tirio, you said that the representatives of the Scarlet Crusaders had come from Dasuohan without permission. We will not comment on their sincerity, but, hiding from Dassault Han, how effective is such cooperation? In the end, maybe it was just a few of them who agreed to do this, and the other Scarlet Crusaders didn't approve of it at all? ”

At this time, Sephis, the Silver Dawn Warrior, who was sitting next to him, asked. There was a skeptical tone in his tone. Tirio heard it.

"Brother, that's what I'm thinking about. But perhaps, this shouldn't be a problem. ”

Tirio said, making a quiet gesture. He continued—

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should strive for it, and under the ravages of natural disasters and undead, if we can unite one more ally, we will unite one ally. Even if these Scarlet Crusaders are just individuals, and we accept them, maybe over time, they will influence others to join the alliance. ”

After Tirio finished speaking, the scene was obviously still a little dull. Ares knew that Tirio was not the future Great Lord of the Silver Northern Expedition who would dominate the continent of Lordaeron with the ashes in his hand. In fact, many of the people of Silver Dawn have been persecuted by the Scarlet Crusaders, and like Tyran, they no longer trust the Scarlet Crusaders after escaping from that crazy organization.

In desperation, Tirio turned his gaze to Ares, the leader of the third party, who didn't seem to have spoken yet. Sit on the sidelines and listen quietly to everyone's speeches. But he didn't say a word.

"What about your opinion? Ares. ”

Tirio asked.

"I agree with you, High Lord. The Scarlet Crusaders are a fanatical military organization, but as you said, there are bright people in even the most evil organization, and, crucially, the fact that they chose the Chapel of the Wish of Light for their meeting this time is a testament to their sincerity. Talking on our turf, we are not afraid of this group of people. Perhaps, as they say, it is necessary to sit down and talk about the great enemy at the moment. ”

In the face of Tirio's question, Ares calmly analyzed. The tent suddenly fell silent, and everyone was listening carefully to the conversation between the two great lords, because on any occasion, their conversation would determine the final outcome of a matter.

"Wait, Ares, have you forgotten how they did to you in the first place?"

As soon as Ares finished speaking, Tyran let out an exclamation.

Originally......

Yes, Ares suddenly remembered that when he first came to Azeroth, he was used as an experiment and a pawn by the Scarlet Crusaders. If Silver Dawn was a split from the Scarlet Crusaders, and many people had been treated inhumanely by the Scarlet Crusaders, then Ares undoubtedly understood the feelings of these Silver Dawn warriors. And at the beginning, the pharmacist incident, Tailan was involved in the whole process. So, the alliance seems so logical, yet incredible. Both humans, the Scarlet Crusaders and the Silver Dawn are almost two opposing factions......

"No, I didn't forget. Brother, but as I said earlier, an organization cannot represent an individual, and in an organization that is evil, there are good people, and we cannot deny everything because they are members of the Scarlet Crusade. You know, back then, we were also Scarlet Crusaders. ”

Ares gritted his teeth and said. Although his time at the hands of Tyre is a very bad memory......

"Ares, thank you for your support, I'm ready to leave for the Chapel of Light tomorrow, and the Valley of the Hearth will be handed over to you and Tyran for the time being."

Tirio stood up and made his own decision, although not everyone was in favor of this decision.

"No, I'll go with you."

Ares replied suddenly......
