Natural disasters are raging, dead bodies are everywhere, and every day, the air is filled with the smell of plague. The dusky sky seems to be forever sprinkled with a layer of haze that cannot be dispersed.

On the way from Firestone Farm to Fireplace Valley, the scars caused by the plague were so shocking that the news of the Scarlet Crusaders' cruelty to civilians kept coming back to Ares' mood for a long time......

If even the Scarlet Crusaders, the only organization on the continent of Lordaeron that can shelter people, have gone so crazy that they can save the people here?

"It's time to draw a line with them."

As he walked along the road, Ares suddenly said in a loud voice. Gianna and Whiteman, who were on the side, were surprised.

"What?"

Gianna asked first. She looked at Ares puzzled, along the way, this man frowned, it turned out that he was thinking about this question?

"I mean, it's time to draw a line with the Scarlet Crusade bastards."

Looking at Gianna, Ares said with a heavy heart.

"But many of your men have not yet completely changed their minds, like the Scout veteran, who in his mind still sees the Hand of Tyr and the Scarlet Forces of New Avalon and the forces of the Abbey as one, how can they change their minds? You know, this decision is risky. ”

Gianna stopped and looked at Ares with melancholy eyes.

"yes, why did you suddenly have such an idea? Maybe the decision is the right one, but it's not the right time? ”

Whitemane then said. They looked at Ares almost identically.

"I knew it was risky, but time was of the essence, and we couldn't pretend anymore, and we had to tear up the relationship. If, in the future, we join forces with the crusaders led by Dasohan, we will inevitably be incorporated into his forces, and many will once again fall into a frenzy of terror. Along the way, you've heard a testament to how crazy they have become. These warriors of the Scarlet Monastery can no longer be buried in this mad leadership. ”

Ares frowned and said solemnly. Just because something is hidden doesn't mean it can be hidden indefinitely. Someday you have to face it.

After Ares finished speaking, Gianna and Whitemane were silent, obviously, they both knew that what the man in front of them said was right, but no one wanted to pierce the paper.

"Whiteman, from what you know about the warriors, how many have been thoroughly cleansed. I mean the cleansing of the soul, the real abandonment of the fanatical dogma of the past. ”

Ares then asked. As the Grand Inquisitor of the Scarlet Abbey, Whitemayne was an expert in this area...... Her original job was to translate the decisions of the Scarlet Crusaders into concrete creeds and ideas that spread to ordinary soldiers, the equivalent of the brainwashing work of an organization. So, ask her, it's clearest.

"Seventy percent, ...... above"

Whitemane hesitated, after all, this kind of thing is hard to say, there is no specific data, and sometimes, soldiers who have been indoctrinated with new ideas will return to their previous state because of certain things. And some soldiers, without instilling a creed in him, will also have his own consciousness. So, it is impossible to get an exact number at all. Of course, Ares asked about it.

"That's going to be easy."

Ares breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you going to announce it now? I don't know much about the Crusaders of the Hand of Tyr, but I've heard that your troops, when a faction with a different philosophy emerges, they will treat it as an enemy and destroy them at all costs. ”

Gianna asked melancholy.

"I've already figured it out, even if we can't find the Silver Dawn this time, we can no longer succumb to the leadership of that villain of Da Sohan. If you think about it, how crazy the Scarlet Crusade has done since he became commander-in-chief. ”

Ares said resentfully. These were originally the elites of the Knights of the Silver Hand who survived, but now, dead and dead, walking, the entire Lordaeron is in a miasma. Silver Dawn is too small to do anything.

“……”

The crowd was silent again.

"Alas, well. Have you figured out the name? ”

Gianna turned her head and asked curiously. Ares liked the way she looked, the way she felt like a bird, rather than talking to herself as a leader...... Of course, it is also possible that it is only temporary, after all, her status is still very high......

"The Judgment of the Ashes."

Facing the curious eyes of the two, Ares swore and said. Of course, this name was not coined by himself, to be exact, it was a name that someone in World of Warcraft had already thought of. I'm just using the name in advance.

Although there is some shame, the Ash Judgment is the collective name of the Silver Crusade and the Knights of the Black Blade, and the Silver Crusade is the collective name of the forces of Lordaeron. So, the name actually comes from a lot of things. But now, this series of events has not happened, and Ares does not know when it will happen, or if it will not happen at all......

"Sounds good...... Especially in the name of the Ember Bringer......"

Gianna smiled, her smile was always so beautiful, and Ares was happy with her "masterpiece". It's just that when I think about it, I'm still far from the real Ash Inquisitor. That army gathered the elite of Lordaeron, rallying and rallying the paladins scattered around the world. And the current situation is that the Scarlet Crusaders are in vogue, and the Silver Dawn itself is difficult to protect, and his own troops are almost trying to survive in the cracks.

"I'll get the news out tomorrow. Time is running out, and we have to hurry. ”

Ares said with a frown.

……

"Brothers, sisters, all my comrades-in-arms who have come out of the monastery and fought with me, friends, I have gathered you here today, not to say anything else, but to tell you an important thing. From today onwards, we will no longer call ourselves the Scarlet Crusades. We will be given our new name by the Judgment of the Ashes. Perhaps you will be surprised, suspicious, or even disgusted. But I have to be clear. Our allies with the Hand of Tyr will no longer be on the same side. We must have our own creed and philosophy. ”

"Look at what we've heard and seen along the way, don't we understand? It's a disaster. The Scarlet Crusaders are on a path away from the Light, and it is getting farther and farther away from the true Light. I see countless Scarlet warriors enslaving the refugees of Lordaeron, killing each other at the slightest discord? Just ask, who gave us such power to kill living beings indiscriminately? ”

"The Scarlet Crusaders, originally the last force to defend Lordaeron, have become a symbol of carnage and fanaticism. Brothers, as I told you when I first arrived at the monastery, we must regain our lost faith and bring the Light back to us. Let the Light renew its teachings, guide us, and empower us. It's time to say goodbye to the past. The Ashen Judgment Army, we, will be the most solid backing for the people of Lordaeron, uniting all forces that can be united, uniting all those who believe in the light, regardless of race or occupation. Pursue the true path of Light! ”

Early in the morning, in a faint sunshine, Ares stood on a makeshift podium and gave a generous and righteous speech to the three thousand warriors, priests, and men of the Scarlet Monastery......
