On the empty streets, two high-blooded Alpine horses galloped through a delicate carriage with the Barov family crest engraved on the door, bringing a cold breeze.

I have to say that the Barov family, which has a lot of fertile land, is definitely very rich, just a means of transportation that Illusia usually doesn't use, and some ordinary small nobles can't afford to buy high-end goods.

Underfoot is a thick handmade blanket with mysterious patterns carved into the walls, which seem to be part of some chain of magic circles. Based on the meager knowledge of spells he had learned, Roland could barely distinguish the runes of constant temperature and shock absorption. The soft sofas are topped with elaborate cushions, the sky-blue silk curtains are embellished with gold embroidery, and all the décor is typical of the High Elves – luxurious, exquisite, sophisticated. If it weren't for the Silly King by his side, he would really think that he was back in Quel'Thalas.

In the carriage, Roland lay on the cushion and pretended to sleep, and the competition just now consumed too much of his physical energy. This state of weakness and helplessness made him very insecure, so he had to seize every minute to recover his strength.

Illusia, who was still in charge, remained in the Elder's Square, but sent two guards to take Roland and the undeparting Knight King in his carriage to the chapel to find Archbishop Alonsos Fao.

There was no one else in the spacious carriage, but the Knight King was still sitting upright, with the rune sword he had received from the elf's hand lying horizontally on his lap, and he was always on guard.

I don't know how long the carriage had been gone, but the Knight King broke the silence in the carriage.

"Roland, you're acting a little strangely today, although I'm a little impressed, but it doesn't seem right?"

Although there was no follow-up after just one sentence, Roland knew what the other party wanted to say. Not only the Dull King, but even he himself was a little puzzled by his actions today.

You must know that the original purpose of his coming to the Elder Square was just to find a random minion to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, instead of directly fighting with a group of noble children like he is now, and forming a grudge. What made him even more unbelievable was that he would scold the king of Lordaeron as an old dog in public, and then took the initiative to expose the information that he had become a paladin that he had always wanted to hide.

None of this is in line with the plan he made to keep a low profile, and at the same time, what makes Roland even more worried is whether he will do such an inexplicable thing in the future? Or, was you possessed by something at that moment? Roland, who had no experience in this category, said he really couldn't think of a reason.

"Perhaps it is the influence of the will of the world, that while the individual affects the surrounding with his actions, the surrounding environment also affects the individual."

Tilting his head and thinking for a moment, the Knight King proposed a novel but quite reasonable revelation: "When you identify with your identity as a High Elf, you will naturally look at things from the perspective of a High Elf. This makes you full of hostility towards the kingdom of Lordan Road, so you will have a hot brain and be reckless of the consequences? ”

"Perhaps", for a moment, Roland couldn't raise any objections, after all, he had not had a very good sense of Terenus Minethil II since before.

Although the king was only an unlucky man who was loved by the people and was indeed in the hands of his own son, after all, how could it be so simple to be able to rule for decades and keep Lordaeron's power above the rest of the human race, and at the same time to cultivate many colonies in Northrend?

What's more, in the game of the previous life, in the second orc war, the strange behavior of the orcs to attack Quel'Salas in order to unite with Zulkin has always made Roland suspicious-

First of all, the human army captured Zurkin of Amani, but was coincidentally rescued by the orcs due to the weakness of the guards; Then, the main force of the orcs shifted from the hills of Hillsbrad, and the army of the alliance had the advantage of fighting at home, and even knew everything in hindsight; Eventually, the orcs continued to travel through Hinterland, the Eastern Tirisfar, and Daron Mill Glades, heading north to Quel'Thalas, and the Alliance's forces were left hanging from behind to eat ashes.

Maybe it was just a coincidence that Zurkin was rescued at the beginning, and the orcs went north just to take advantage of the alliance's unpreparedness for a while, but Roland definitely had reason to believe that the alliance's pursuers had been left behind by the main force of the orcs after that, and it was definitely not just the operational reason.

Perhaps the purpose of the human high-level in the alliance at that time was to let the orc troops give the High Elves a hard blow, and then take advantage of the situation to pull Quel'Thalas, who was only willing to provide logistics and was unwilling to send a single soldier, into a scorching battle. Of course, it would be better if the main battlefield could be shifted to the territory of Quel'Thalas.

This not only will speed up the balance of victory to their side, but also reduce the losses of the human army, and ensure that the human kingdoms that have experienced the great loss of strength after the orc war will not be robbed by the high elves who have preserved their strength because of staying out of the situation.

Yes, maybe the High Elves don't have such intentions, but even the slightest possibility is enough to make it difficult for humans to sleep. Therefore, the best way to do it is to use the cruelty and killing of the orcs to pull the High Elves into the battle, and then the powerful High Elves driven by revenge** will be a sharp blade held by humans.

Perhaps there are wise people among the High Elves who can see through the plans of humans, but when Quel'Salas is invaded, the Eternal Song Forest is burned, and a large number of civilians are killed in battle, can the Silvermoon Council, as the ruler of the High Elves, forcibly suppress the people's revenge? If the parliament does that, it will be close to losing its power.

This is a conspiracy that makes the opponent know that it is a pit, but he has to jump down. Forced to join the alliance with a knife like this, it is no wonder that the High Elves quit the alliance as soon as the war ended, and even gave them a bad reputation for treachery.

Although all this is just Roland's speculation, there is a good saying, we don't need evidence, we just need to know who is the ultimate beneficiary. And judging from the final result, the High Elves suffered an unjustified disaster, and humans picked up a big bargain. It's just that the human high-level played away by themselves and allowed the orcs to pass through the Alterac Mountain Road smoothly, which led to the siege of the city under King Lordaeron.

After Roland had this idea, from an outsider's point of view, he only felt that the Lord of the Alliance, Terenus, and Marshal Anduin Lothar were a little dark, and he would not think that what they were doing was wrong.

The ancestor also said, "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different", and it is the most correct choice to let other races fight to the death and recuperate by yourself. Since the high elves were pitted and were pitted, anyway, it is not that they have not been pitted, since they could be pitted once by Soladin the Great thousands of years ago, then it doesn't matter if they are pitted again by the last bloodline of Soladin the Great thousands of years later, anyway, it is not themselves who are pitted.

However, as a member of the High Elves in this life, Roland's views naturally took a big turn. In the past, he was only a little dark in his heart, but the clever Terenus instantly turned into a harbor of evil, insidious and cunning. His favorability of Lordaeron also changed from friendliness to hatred.

Perhaps, today's behavior is just because of the venting of his dissatisfaction with Lordaeron? Thinking of this, Roland breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't possessed by something.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the carriage, "Your Excellency Roland, the chapel has arrived." ”
