Chapter 39: The Knights of the Silver Hand

Today's meeting ended quickly, and the kings returned and began to prepare to mobilize their armies.

Archbishop Fao was not in a hurry to leave, he came to Lothar and congratulated him first.

Then Fao said: "Marshal Lothar, I think you should arrange some adjutant for yourself, and I can recommend to you a few excellent people here in the church. They have different characteristics than the existing fighters and should be able to help you well in the rest of the war. ”

Lothar did need an adjutant to help him with some chores, and it was better that these people were not from some kingdom, otherwise they would subconsciously bring a certain inclination when making suggestions to Lothar, and there would be little such a problem for neutrals like those who came from the church.

"You're already ......" Varian's eyes lit up when he heard Fao's words, it seemed that Fao had already chosen those candidates for the paladins.

Seeing Varian's expression, Fao nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I have selected several pious knights and priests from the church, as well as the knight Gavinrad you recommended, and made them the first candidates to be trained as paladins. ”

"You mean...... Are all paladins you recommend? Lothar asked.

On their way to escape, Lothar has seen Varian's methods and is intrigued by this new class that combines the strengths of a warrior and a priest.

"That's right." "These men are trained in combat techniques as well as prayer and healing, and they can not only fight bravely on the front lines, but also use the Light to heal or bless themselves and their comrades," Fao said. ”

"Can I meet them first?"

"Of course, Marshal Lothar will come with me." Fao beckoned to Varian on the side and said, "By the way, Varian, you can also take a look." ”

Varian and Lothar followed Fao to his residence, where five men were waiting for them in the living room.

The men, dressed in brand new armor, looked athletic, and Gavinrad, recommended by Varian, was among them.

Seeing Fao and them coming, all five men stood up.

"Marshal Lothar, Your Highness Varian, allow me to introduce you to the four of them, Uther Lightbringer, Tirio Fordin, Saidan Dasohan, and Tulayan. As for Gavinrad, you're all familiar with it, so I don't need to introduce you. ”

Fao said to Uther and the other five, "This is the Marshal from Stormwind, the army commander of our newly formed Lordaeron Alliance, Anduin Lothar. ”

He pointed to Varian and said, "And this one is His Royal Highness Varian Wrynn, Prince of the Kingdom of Azeroth." And he also created the Paladin class and became the first Paladin in this world, and it was only after talking with him that I had a rough idea of how to train you. ”

"Oh~~~"

With the exception of Gavin Rade, the other four all showed surprised expressions, and the youngest, Tulayan, couldn't help but exclaim.

Uther: They didn't expect Varian to look like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he would be able to create the Paladin profession.

After Fao's training, they had all learned the power of the paladin, so when they looked at Varian again, their eyes were filled with admiration.

The five bowed to Varian and Lothar, and Varian and the others responded.

Fao continued, "I will form a new legion, the Knights of the Silver Hand, and Uther will be the first members of the Order. ”

Fao looked at Varian and asked, "Varian, do you want to join our Order of the Silver Hand?" ”

"It is my pleasure, Archbishop, that it is my pleasure." After a moment's thought, Varian agreed.

Anyway, now that Varian has not succeeded to the throne as king, there is nothing to join the Silver Hand for the time being, and didn't the later Prince of Lordaeron, Arthas, also join the Silver Hand?

Moreover, it is impossible for Archbishop Fao to treat Varian as an ordinary member of the Order, and it will not affect Varian himself to lead the King's Guard into battle.

After Varian joins the Silver Hand, he can also establish a good relationship with these members, and then there is no chance to recruit a group of talents from them and include them under his command.

Lothar didn't interfere with Varian's decision, and when Fao looked at him, Lothar asked, "I want to know how well these guys have trained?" Will they actually be able to go to the battlefield and take part in the battle? ”

As the commander-in-chief of the Alliance, Lothar must have personally come to the battlefield to command the troops to fight. Although he basically doesn't have to go down to fight in person, it is better for the adjutant around him to have a certain amount of combat effectiveness.

"Marshal Lothar, I think they are all capable of being on their own on the battlefield." Fao replied affirmatively, like a father proudly introducing his child.

He smiled and said, "Otherwise, I'll go back to my room first, and you can talk to them alone to see if they can help you." ”

With that, Fao left the hall and went back to his room to rest.

Lothar looked at the paladins present, Gavin Rad stood as respectfully as he had ever been under him, Uther and Dasohan looked at him confidently, Tirio looked relaxed, and the youngest Tulayan was a little nervous, standing further back than the others.

Lothar said slowly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the archbishop must have told you that we are about to face a war, and this war will affect all human kingdoms. An army of orc tribes is coming to this land, they have destroyed my homeland, and now they are invading it. ”

Uther, the leader of the five, said: "Your Excellency, the Archbishop has told us how bloodthirsty and brutal the enemies of this war are, and we will follow your orders to guard this land with the Light. ”

Da Sohan also stepped forward, his tall stature, six and a half feet tall, the tallest of the men.

He spoke, "You can command us to fight those evil creatures and drive them out of our land. ”

Tirio put away his relaxed expression and said solemnly: "We will bless our comrades-in-arms with holy light, punish those enemies, and defend our homeland and people." ”

Even Tulayang, who was a little nervous, opened his mouth to express his attitude: "Holy Light is above, we will definitely defeat these barbaric orcs!" ”

As for Gavin Rader, he just nodded firmly at Lothar.

Lothar nodded in response to Gavinrad, he knew his former subordinate, he was a trustworthy knight, and although he was not good at words, he would be able to complete the tasks assigned to him.
