Chapter 556: Duke of the Demon Sword
The capital of Lordaeron
"Welcome back in triumph, my warriors!". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Early in the morning, King Tenaris Mineshir stood at the gates of Lordaeron, watching from afar as his son Arthas returned from a long distance.
"Lordaeron will win! Humanity will win! "The forces of Arthas responded with the loudest slogans to their king, Tenaris Minesir.
Victory is exciting, especially when it is won by the same man who has led the warriors to incredible victories one after another, such as the pride of Lordaeron, Prince Arthas of Lordaeron.
At this time, in the city of Lordaeron, the most core capital of the entire Lordaeron continent, almost all the residents of Lordaeron led by King Tenaris Minahir are all the residents of Lordaeron, and they all want to see the hero in their hearts, the great prince Arthas, and the superhero who is almost omnipotent in Arthas's war report - Lianyang.
"Arthas, your dad seems to be a little too enthusiastic!" Lian Yang was really a little uncomfortable, although when assessing the Northern Undead Clan, Lian Yang and Arthas had already received this kind of heroic welcome, but there was no doubt that this time Lian Yang and Artas received even more cheers, and the people seemed to want to vent all their enthusiasm.
“…… Actually, I'm a little nervous too! Arthas's expression was slightly embarrassed, and the cheers of the people in front of him were not very suitable for Arthas, who had grown up in flowers and praise, and for Arthas, his people were really too enthusiastic.
"Alright, children, enjoy the support of your people, you know, there is still a long way to come, and I am sure that you will become the greatest hero of Azeroth in the cheers of the people!" After all, Muradine Copperbeard is the existence of the older generation, and they used to feel this kind of cheering momentum when they defeated the orcs, but that era seems to be a little too long.
Thinking of this, Muradin's eyes were also a little moist, after all, in the past war-torn era, he also had many friends who were also killed by the war and paid the price for victory, just like today's Lianyang and Arthas.
"You're right, old Muradin!" Lian Yang shook his head, maybe he had been a conqueror, or an adventurer, or a dictator, or he had traveled too little in the world, but such a genuine cheer that was embraced by everyone was something that Lian Yang rarely felt.
This is not the gratitude for the rest of the life when Lian Yang rescued the entire border village in the legendary world, everyone now looks at Lian Yang and Arthas with the eyes of a hero, this feeling of triumph is completely different from the feeling of being successfully rescued.
Arthas looked at the cheering people, and suddenly said to Lian Yang beside him: "Lian Yang, my friend, thank you all the way, maybe it wasn't for your appearance, I would still pick up the sword, but it must not be the flowers and praise that greet me." After a short victory, Alsace also began to reflect on himself, and when he made assumptions again and again, he suddenly discovered one thing - that is, Lian Yang has always been his guide, although everyone is friends, but every time when the road is forked, he can lead himself to the right path.
"Okay, why did you suddenly talk nonsense!" Lian Yang was really a little uncomfortable with Alsace being so sensational, but fortunately, it was time for everyone to come to Tenaris as well.
Tenaris stepped forward and gave Arthas a sturdy bear hug, happily saying, "Welcome home, my son, Arthas!" ”。
"Yes! Father! ”。
Although royalty, Tenaris Minethil had only one son, Arthas Minethil. He put almost all his energy on Alsace, so this pair of father and son born in the emperor's family is rare not to have the most ruthless emperor's ruthlessness.
After the bear hug, Tenaris grabbed Arthas's right hand, raised it high, and cheered: "Welcome back, my prince, Arthas!" ”。
"Victory, triumph! Long live Alsace! ”。
And with Tenaris's shouting, the people below also let out earth-shattering cheers, after all, the war with the undead was won, everyone knew the importance of this victory, and everyone was full of support for Arthas who won this victory.
Tenaris waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, put his hand on Arthas's shoulder, and said: "I know that the young eagle will eventually fly into the blue sky by itself, because he has the blood of a king, and I also know that the lion roars the grassland after all, because they are born kings." I also know that my son will be very good and strong. Because what he has in his body is the blood of the Minethil family, but! Tenariston paused and said in a loud voice: "What I didn't expect was that my son Arthas was even better than I thought, he defeated the orc Juggernaut, he defeated the archmage Kel'thugad, he pacified the undead plague in the north, I thought he was already very good, but I want to say that he was even better than I thought, because he led a team and successfully killed the commander of the Scourge's Legion from the Burning Legion in the cold continent of Northrend, and successfully killed the high-level demon, Dreadlord Melganis! That's a formidable enemy I can't even imagine! ”。
"Long live Arthas! Long live Alsace! The people below cheered even more when they heard this, they didn't know what a lich was, and they didn't know what a high-level demon was, but in ordinary eyes, demons and gods are equal to scratches, and since Arthas has successfully killed the demon, it means that Arthas has almost divine power, not only the wolf pack needs a strong head wolf, but humans also need an incomparably powerful leader, and Arthas just happened!
After Tenaris finished speaking, Arthas waved his hand again, and then Tenaris spoke: "First of all, I would like to thank my country, the beautiful Lordaeron who made me, I am also grateful to my father Tenaris for selflessly nurturing me, of course, I am even more grateful to my brother Lianyang, who has supported me along the way, and finally I am most grateful that I have my loveliest people behind me to support me."
I grew up in flowers and praise, I matured in the trials of iron and blood, I won in the hard wars, and I defeated the demons of near-invincibility with my heart that I would defend my people to the death, because I had my father, my family, my friends, and my people behind me! ”。
After all, Arthas was raised by a prince since childhood, and he was almost instinctive about how to win people's hearts, so when Tenaris praised him extremely highly, he also had to be more excited, of course, because he was originally like this.
"Muradin, my old friend, how did you come together?" After Tenaris had finished building up for Arthas, he decisively greeted his old friend, the younger brother of the Dwarven King, Muradine Copperbeard.
"I am grateful that you gave birth to a good son, who saved me from the hands of the undead! I can't imagine that if I hadn't met Arthas then, maybe you would have seen an undead corpse by now, my friend, Tenaris! "Muradine Copperbeard is not good at complimenting anyone, but he still gave Arthas an extremely high evaluation, although along the way, Lianyang's combat effectiveness can be called explosive, but in terms of brilliant, or Alsace is more brilliant, from combat effectiveness to command ability, Alsace is almost perfect.
"I see!" Tenaris also suddenly realized that Muradin's adventurous affairs were almost unknown to the upper echelons of Azeroth. It's just that he didn't expect that Muradin, who would die himself, wandered to the base camp of the undead clan. Fortunately, he met Artace, otherwise Muradin probably wouldn't have survived.
"Alright, my warriors, now you should go back to the city with me!" After a brief reminiscence, Tenaris still does not forget his duty, for the triumphant return of the hero, it is not enough to greet him personally, but this is a place where life is full of excitement after all, and it is not suitable for meritorious deeds.
Lordaeron Palace
Tenaris sits high on the highest throne, flanked by the princely ministers of the entire kingdom of Lordaeron. The faces of all the ministers were filled with joy, after all, regardless of political opinions, but the almost decisive victory in the war between Arthas and the undead was beneficial to the whole of Lordaeron, how could the faces of the princes and ministers as a community of interests be bad.
At this time, in the most spacious place of the entire palace, Alsace and Lianyang, as well as all the high-ranking generals of the Alsatian army, also stood in the center of the main hall, and today they are the absolute protagonists, and they will definitely receive the best reward.
Sure enough, Tenaris, who was sitting on the highest throne, spoke slowly: "Arthas! ”。
"In!".
"As the supreme commander of this war, as the prince of Lordaeron, your performance this time has been unanimously recognized by everyone, it is a great victory and a great achievement, so I have decided to appoint you as Marshal of Lordaeron, responsible for commanding the troops of the entire kingdom of Lordaeron!".
Tenaris's reward for Alsace is only so simple, but it is this one that surprises everyone, you know, there are many generals in Lordaeron now, but there is no marshal, and marshal is often not just a military rank, more often, marshal is also an official position - the highest military commander.
Yes, that's right, Tenaris directly handed over the power of the Lordaeron Kingdom to Arthas, and he also knows very well that his body is getting worse day by day, and he must learn to let his children gradually start to control this country that has been passed down from his ancestors, especially when he finds out that Arthas is so good, he is even more willing to put the power in the hands of Arthas.
"Thank you, Father, I will definitely lead Lordaeron to glory!" Arthas agreed loudly, he had never fantasized about being able to obtain Lordaeron's power of soldiers and horses, but he could still withstand the unexpected surprise.
"Good!" Tenaris looked at the unfazed Alsace with more and more satisfaction, this alone of his own, Lordaeron's brightest star, never let himself down.
After rewarding Arthas, Tenaris turned his gaze to Lian Yang again, and said slowly and similarly: "Lian Yang, Arthas was able to win, I know that it is closely related to your strong support, especially the various super war weapons you provide, which is a vital condition for us to win." You have brought Lordaeron an immortal victory! ”。
Tenarestone paused, looked at Lian Yang and continued: "For you who have made such outstanding achievements, I have decided to crown you as a hereditary duke, with a territory in the north of Lordaeron, and at the same time give the title of magic sword, from now on, you will be the Duke of the Magic Sword of my Lordaeron Kingdom!" ”。
"......Uproar" If Alsace's reward is a matter of course, then the reward for Lian Yang really makes everyone jealous, you know, the previous Lian Yang was a count, not hereditary, but I didn't expect a war to come back, Lian Yang has become a hereditary duke with a title.
is also a title, although the duke is only two levels higher than the earl, but these two levels represent the size of the rights he obtains in his own territory, so to speak, the duke can almost completely enjoy the treatment of the king in his own territory.
But even the duke is different, first of all, in terms of the area of the territory, needless to say, almost half of the northern part of the Lordaeron Kingdom is Lianyang, this territory is close to the territory of some princes, but the prince's territory cannot be hereditary. The other dukes are even smaller, but the most important thing is this hereditary replacement, you know, Lordaeron has not had a hereditary replacement of nobles for a long time, and there are even princes of the opposite sex, but the hereditary duke is only Lianyang.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lian Yang is very satisfied with his title and territory, and he naturally likes the title of his magic sword even more, after all, the magic sword-Apophis is almost his Lianyang's signature, and wherever Lianyang goes, there will be a magic sword-Apophis figure, so when Tenaris gave Lianyang the title of the magic sword, it was also carefully considered.
After a bitter war, countless people have been rewarded, and even Muradin, who was rescued by Alsace and Lianyang, has also received some rare metals as rewards, of course, the most affordable ones are Lianyang and Alsace.
