Chapter 4: I Protest!

"All salute Admiral Daylin Proudmoore of Kul Tiras!" The slender admiral walked up to the high platform and took his seat on the rightmost throne. He was dressed in a commander's uniform with an ornate blue navy cap and a gold medal that marked his rank as Commander of the Alliance Navy.

Daylin Prodmore was the King of Kul Tirath and one of the greatest heroes of World War II. He and his navy made great contributions and sacrifices against the orcs.

At this time, Jiang Weihan heard the red-haired mage next to him whisper to the female mage, "Your father looks refreshed!" ”

Jiang Weihan glanced cautiously at the female mage in the next seat: she was dressed in a blue mage robe, with a hood covering most of her face, revealing a straight nose and plump lips, as well as a few strands of blonde hair.

Then there is no doubt that this female mage is the daughter of Admiral Daillin Prodmoor and the proud disciple of ** teacher Antonidas - Gianna Prodmore!

Jiang Weihan guessed the identity of the red-haired mage next to him by the way, he should be Luo Ning!

Then, the paladin spoke again: "All salute Antonidas, the ** master of the magical holy land of Dalaran!" ”

Although this ** master has white hair, he looks energetic, wise and kind.

The latter two were equally impressive, one being Archbishop Alonthos Fao, founder of the Silver Hand. This old man is now in his last years, and he needs the support of his attendants when he walks. He was beloved by the people of Lordaeron, and Tirio Fordin was his disciple, and when Tirio was faced with treason, he needed to see if Tirio had truly deviated from the path of the Light.

The last to follow the archbishop was the young prince Alsace. He has been a member of the Knights of the Silver Hand for four years. As the sole heir of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, he is certainly qualified to represent the Kingdom as a member of the jury.

Once the jury was seated, the paladin motioned for everyone to stand for the presiding judge. As the crowd watched, Uther Lightbringer walked to the ornate judgment platform. His stern eyes swept over the audience and motioned for everyone to take their seats.

When he was stared at, Jiang Weihan felt a hairbreak in his heart, and it felt like he had seen the bear-like demigod Usor for the first time in the Emerald Dream - although the other party only had a soul left, it still made him dare not move his feet.

Of course, Uther doesn't feel as dangerous as a beast, just majestic.

This paladin deserves such a compliment as "greatness". He is the chief paladin and recognized as the greatest warrior in the Alliance. He is the noblest and wisest member of the paladins. The comprehension of the Light is unparalleled.

It is most justifiable for him to serve as the presiding judge.

Then the magnetic voice of the Lightbringer resounded through the halls.

"Paladin Lord Fordin," Uther said, "you have been accused of betraying the Alliance and disobeying the direct orders of your superiors. You should understand that this is a serious accusation. The High Commanders gathered here will judge you according to the laws of the Light. What is your defense to the charges? ”

"As stated in the charges, I am guilty, court/up. I accept all the punishment for my mistakes. Tirio said.

Hundreds of angry voices flooded the hall. Many bystanders were apparently convinced that the allegations were exaggerated or simply fabricated. Everyone was shocked that Tirio had confessed so frankly.

Later, the Commander of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Saidan Da Sohan, appeared in court to provide testimony in support of his accusations against Tirio. However, as Tirio's good brother, his original intention was not to put Tirio to death, but only to realize that his actions were wrong from the standpoint of human beings.

It's just a pity that things have come to this point.

Subsequently, Bathras jumped out as an eyewitness to testify to Da Sohan's testimony. The ambitious lieutenant did not have the sympathy of Dassault Han, but fell into the trap and poured dirty water on Tirio.

However, this kind of slanderous statement against his boss did not win the favor of Lord Uther as he imagined, but rather disgusted the other party.

Uther stared sternly at Bassellas, who was trembling under his gaze, and scolded: "You must learn to control your words and deeds, young paladin. I've known him for years. I can't remember the number of times we saved each other's lives and stood in front of the enemy in the form of victors. No matter what he does, his reputation can't be tarnished by a kid like you! We've heard your testimony and you can step back. ”

Bathras hurried back to his seat, his face flushed, he felt like a clown, as if hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at him behind him, laughing at him.

The trial proceeded very quickly because Ferding was too cooperative.

Uther asked quietly, "Paladin Lord Ferdin, do you still need to defend yourself?" ”

Tirio stood up and saluted the commanders, "Your Excellency, I know this reason sounds ridiculous, but that orc saved my life. In return, I pledged to protect him as a paladin. His name was Itrieg, and he was one of the most honorable of all the opponents I've ever faced. You must understand that if I carry out the orders of my superiors, I will betray my honor as a paladin. I can't do that. Then I will accept a qiē punishment as you see fit. ”

After hearing Tirio's defense, Uther strode over to the jurors. He briefly argued with them, gesturing all the time. After a few moments, the jurors seemed to agree with his offer, and Uther returned to the trial table with a triumphant look.

"Paladin Lord Fortin," he said, "the Court knows that you have served Lordaeron for many years and have assisted in her allies. Everyone who does it also knows your bravery and good fighting. In any case, it is a worrying crime to form an alliance with enemies who are at odds with human civilization and to disregard the honor of their illusions. While granting orc amnesty, you risk the safety of Hearthdale on your personal pursuits. But considering that you have served the Alliance faithfully for many years, the Court will fully forgive you, as long as you break your oath with the orcs and renew your allegiance to the Alliance. ”

The meaning of Uther's words is undoubtedly very protective of Ferdin: as long as you bow your head and submit to softness, then it is easy to say anything. This was the result of what he had just argued before the jury. It was also the most desirable outcome for an old friend, who believed that their teacher, the aging Alonthos Fao, did not want his disciples to bear the infamy of treason.

Tyrio's loyal captain of the guard, Arden, pleaded in a low voice, "Please, my lord. Promise them and forget about it (that orc). ”

Dassaulthan also lowered his voice and said, "Let's put all this nonsense behind us, Tirio, my good brother! ”

"Paladin Lord Fordin, what is your reply?" Uther asked suspiciously, sensing Tirio's hesitation.

Jiang Weihan looked at Fuding, who looked struggling, and the people in the entire trial hall. Among those present, with the exception of the ill-intentioned Bathras, everyone hoped that Fordin would forget the promise he had made to the orcs.

However, none of these people can experience the same thing as Ferdin, and they do not have Ferdin's unwavering guardianship of the oath, so naturally they cannot understand his choice.

Jiang Weihan sighed softly, he knew how Fuding would make the choice that would disappoint everyone next, but if he didn't have such faith and persistence, how could he create an invincible paladin leader in the future?

So, Fording chose to uphold his oath.

He heard Arden sobbing quietly behind him, and he saw his good brother Dasohan slumped heavily in his chair and shook his head in frustration; He heard the countless people in the hall call him a traitor in foul language, and he also saw the disappointed eyes of Uther and his teacher, His Excellency Fao. All of this left him speechless.

Uther rubbed her eyes wearily and motioned for the crowd to be quiet. He was deeply grieved by what he was going to do.

"In that case," said Uther in a heavy voice, "Tirio Fortin, you will no longer be welcome in the Knights of the Silver Hand. You are no longer worthy to live by the gift of Light. Accordingly I banish you from the regiment; You will be stripped of all the costumes of the Order, and you will be stripped of all your personal titles and possessions; You will be exiled, never able to set foot in the Confederacy's lands and spend the rest of your life with the savage creatures of the world. May the Light have mercy on your soul. ”

The onlookers gasped. Expulsion from the regiment was already a very harsh punishment, and it would deprive the paladins of a qiē of the power of the Holy Light. Since the establishment of the Knights of the Silver Hand, such punishments have only been used a few times, and they have been used against the most heinous paladins. All paladins were terrified of it.

Not to mention being deprived of all honor and property, as well as exile forever.

Such a severe punishment is almost worthy of the death penalty.

Uther raised his hands and was about to start the ritual when suddenly a voice came out of the spectator and interrupted his movements:

"I protest!"
