Chapter 47: The Birth of an Empire (5)
In front of Anduinlothar, these noble elites of the Iron Horse Brotherhood of the Storm Kingdom pressed their faces one by one, and no one opened their mouths to answer.
Sometimes, life is so helpless.
In the past, when they had a private gathering in Nanhai Town, the gathering place of these "refugees from the dead country", when they didn't talk about how to rebuild the great ambition of the Stormwind Kingdom after defeating the tribe in the future, they would conquer the lost territory of the Stormwind Kingdom?
"Commander Anduin, according to the ancient Alaso Empire, the first oldest edict of aristocratic power."
There was silence for a long time, and in addition to Anduinlota, the Count of Frankfurt, who had the longest family lineage, the man who had transformed from a warrior to a powerful paladin during the second expansion of the Knights of the Silver Hand, said in a low voice.
"The noble lords should be the shield of the people, protecting them from any darkness, and thus receiving the offerings and respect of the people."
"The lord who has abandoned his territory, who has abandoned his people, will be regarded as an automatic renunciation of the duties and glory of the nobility."
When all the people present heard this, their faces were very unpleasant, but not one of them opened their mouths to interrupt the Count of Frankfurt.
The Count glanced cautiously at the intricately complex-colored Lothar on the main seat, and continued.
"And Ka, Master Karen."
"Not a vassal of His Majesty Ryan Ureon, nor does he hold an official position in the Stormwind Kingdom."
He was right, in the previous defeat of the Karl Road War, Karen went to the front under the name of the son of Lothar, because the war was urgent, and the kingdom's top brass did not give him an officially recognized position.
And Cullen will inherit the noble titles on Anduinlotha's head in the future, such as knight or something, those noble titles are theoretically inherited from the legal system of the ancient Araso Empire, not from the Stormwind Kingdom.
"Therefore, brothers, with all due respect."
The Count of Frankfurt looked at the people around him, and finally said the words that everyone knew, but it was difficult to admit emotionally.
"In terms of ancient law, Lord Karen is not a retainer or rebel of the kingdom."
"Lead the people to defeat the invasion of the tribes and re-establish a new kingdom in the lands we have abandoned."
"This is a great feat that we must all acknowledge!"
"Therefore, Lord Karen chose to establish an independent state, which is something that all the kingdoms and nobles of the entire human world cannot refute and oppose from legal and moral reasons!"
After the Earl said this, although the faces of all the people present were still not very good-looking, their hearts seemed to be relieved of a huge pressure, and they were much more relaxed.
Everyone here can get the recognition and trust of Anduin Lothar, naturally they are not the kind of corrupt nobles who are really rotten, facing the invasion of strong enemies, they did not desperately defend the glory of the nobles, but abandoned the land and people that their family has inherited for thousands of years, and naturally have a huge sense of guilt in their hearts.
Of course, there is another reason, although the Count did not say it, but everyone knew it.
Karen was able to defeat the tens of millions of troops left behind by the tribe, so how powerful and powerful was he? This is something that the people sitting here cannot imagine and dare not imagine.
The Stormwind Kingdom itself has only nearly 20 remnants left, although it is considered a large force on the entire continent due to the majority of the superprofessional professionals.
But, not to mention that Karen's current actions are completely in line with the ancient legal system, even if he doesn't conform at all, which kingdom and which force, for their only 20 outcasts, is willing to offend a monarch who can defeat the orc army of tens of millions alone and is a military power that can be predicted in the future?
Everyone is an adult, they decide what they do next, and they don't expect anything from other countries.
"But what should His Highness Varian do? What about our family in Nanhai Town? ”
At this time, the voice of Baron Kurtz, the colonel of the Union Army, quieted everyone present.
As the Baron wondered, even if the nascent monarch Karon, the son of Commander Anduin, understood their retreat from the Stormwind Kingdom in order to preserve the power of the human world, would the high-ranking and stalwarts who now make up that country allow the nobles who abandoned them to return?
It's impossible to think about it with your ass!
Cullen repelled the orcs who stayed behind, and if the existing strength of the alliance army is calculated, the indigenous forces of the entire eastern kingdom have firmly suppressed the invading tribal army.
The Iron Horse brothers have no doubt about future victories, but what if after the victory, the lord they serve, the son of His Majesty Ryan Ureon, who is still a young boy, Prince Varian? Where will their families live in the future? It's impossible to live in Lordaeron's Nanhai Town with a cheeky face!
The Lordaeron continent at the northern end of the Eastern Kingdom is not the same as the southern end where the original Stormwind Kingdom is located, but there is not so much fertile land that is unoccupied.
For a moment, the entire tent fell silent again.
"Report!"
Just as everyone was thinking hard about the future path, the curtain of the command tent was slammed open by a mage apprentice, and they were stunned when they saw the rows of middle and high-ranking members of the Alliance Army inside.
"Your Excellency, Commander, and your Excellency."
He had a red armband with the unstoppable privilege on his right arm, and he spoke hurriedly.
"The kingdom of Alterac expelled the envoys of the Alliance, they, they betrayed the Alliance, opened the way of the mountains, surrendered to the Orcs of the Horde!"
"What! Apprentice, are you sure this news is accurate? ”
Whether it was Lothar or the members of the Iron Horse Brotherhood, they all stood up in shock at this moment, and the Earl of Frankfurt was the first to ask.
"My lord, I pledge with my life!"
The mage apprentice stroked his chest and bowed his head, and said in an affirmative tone.
This news is really timely!
The Count of Frankfurt turned sideways and glanced at the members of the Iron Horse Brotherhood. Sure enough, in addition to shock, there was a trace of irrepressible joy in everyone's eyes.
Just now, when I was worried about not being able to find a place to settle down, Nima had someone to die to make room for them!
"Commander, the passage to the Alterac Mountains, after being opened by those traitors, the capital of the Lordaeron Kingdom is very dangerous."
Turning around, he was the first to speak.
"We should come back as soon as possible!"
"Those human traitors in Alterac, we need to get rid of them all!"
When it came to "cleaning up", he deliberately accentuated his tone.
Ay!
When Lothar saw the subordinates in front of him who suddenly became angry, she naturally understood their potential meaning in her heart, and sighed, knowing that this was already the best result!
"Command the army, return to help immediately!"
He picked up the Great Royal Sword placed on the table and commanded loudly with a strong breath.
Unlike the Horde and Alliance warring zones, where flesh and blood are in constant conflict and fighting.
The League of Autonomous City-States of Dalaran, a parliamentary state led by a number of wise spellcasters, is still in peaceful peace.
Dalaran City, the capital of the Alliance, is the purple tone of the huge magic city circle, there are millions of spellcasters living in this huge magic city circle, although most of these spellcasters are just some apprentices who are capable of releasing level 0 spells, but the glory of wisdom and magic shines here, this can be called the most advanced and freest city in the human world, and it is the only country in the human world that can impress the High Elves and guardian dragons.
However, an invitation message from the Commander of the Alliance, from the region where the Stormwind Kingdom had fallen, disrupted the city's current peace.
"Mentor Samast, the Ike grass of the Yongge Forest is out of stock due to the proximity to the Horde and the Alliance's frontline war zone."
"In addition, the Kenrito Council has just launched a convening order for the ** division meeting."
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old young and beautiful mage Da Lori, holding a huge spell book, came to the edge of the main city of Dalaran and trotted into a 30-meter-high mage tower.
"They told me to inform you immediately and go to the Central Mage Tower to discuss the matter."
She took out a command envelope that shimmered with magical brilliance from the cover of the book, placed it on the test bench next to the tall and thin black-robed mage in front of her, and then sat on the chair next to her, gasping for breath.
His laboratory was suddenly broken into, which made the black-robed ** master Samast's attention shift from the experiment to his disciple.
"Galia, as the princess of Lordaeron, a noble mage professional, calm down!"
With a hint of pampering peculiar to elders, he stretched out his big lewd hand and rubbed the hair of Alsace's sister, the eldest daughter of the Kingdom of Lorendan, Jialia Minehir, and then picked up the summoning order envelope next to him 2k reading net
