Chapter 119: Heroes
Under the deliberate blockade of King Terenus, the panic caused by Xue Huan did not spread.
This may have been a minor episode for the busy Terenus, who was happy to leave the thorny matter to Dalaran. Soon, Terenus turned his full attention to the Empire's post-disaster reconstruction.
Southsea Town and Taren Mill were the hardest hit towns in the Orc War. Countless farmlands were trampled and houses burned, and civilians in these places were forced to evacuate to Andorhar, which was only a few hundred miles away, and the already modest town of Andorhar was suddenly crowded with civilians who had come to take refuge, much to the dismay of the Consuls of Andorhar.
Urgent documents were delivered to Terenus by the messengers, and he realized that the reconstruction of Southsea and Tarunmere was imminent!
To this end, he sent the paladin Uther and the prince Arthas to lead an army to rebuild the organization, which may take a considerable amount of time.
During the war, the rebellion of the Alterac Kingdom almost reduced the kingdoms to ruins, and the entire Alliance, especially the troubled Lordaeron, was very angry at Alterac's betrayal in the course of the war, and as soon as the Orc War ended, Terenus represented the Alliance and placed Perinod and his cronies under house arrest on charges of treason and other charges, and his people were permanently relocated from the Alterac region, including the famous Barov family.
Terenus stripped the Barovs of their dominion in Brill, Tarummere, and the towns of Southsea, and redeployed them as a support point for the orc prison of Fort Dunhold.
The ongoing construction of Dunhold Castle is located southeast of Tarenmere, near the East Point Outpost, and Terenus prepares to send all these orc captives to the site that has not yet had time to settle, including the bloodthirsty orc chieftain Orgrim Doomhammer!
Due to his busy schedule, Terenus didn't even have a good time with the Grand Chief of the Iron Tribe, and sent him directly to the Dunhold prison under construction, just like the orc prisoners.
Maybe it will be the final destination of these monsters!!
Diplomacy is also an area of deep concern for Terenus.
The nations of the Alliance disagreed with the new ruler of Alterac: Solas Thorbain believed that Alterac should belong to him in recognition of his exploits in the war. King Jean Greymane of Gilneth has chosen Perynod's nephew, Heaton Perynord, to succeed him. Terenus thought it should be succeeded by Perynod's son, Aridon Perynod.
In short, because of the issue of the ownership of Alterac, the countries of the alliance are at loggerheads, and it is very unpleasant to make a fuss!
Stormgard, led by Solas Torbain, withdrew from the Alliance, and Jean Greymane built the Wall of Greymane and no longer communicated with the allies, completely implementing a policy of seclusion.
As for the shelter for orc prisoners, in order to pay for the huge expenses, Terenus had to collect heavy taxes from the other countries of the alliance, a decision that made the other kingdoms extremely dissatisfied, and also cast a shadow on the alliance that had long been openly and covertly divided.
After the partition was over, all the generals returned to their territories. Tirio Fording has returned to the Valley of the Hearth, and he has returned home in good clothes, and he has been welcomed like a hero!
Gavon Rad and Dasohan, on the other hand, were sent to Andorhar as consuls, and selected talents from all over the country to join the Knights of the Silver Hand. After all, in this great battle, there were too many Holy Knights sacrificed by the Silver Hand.
It is worth mentioning that Samur, the most powerful Admiral Lordaeron, has disappeared since that dinner, and even his family has mysteriously disappeared.
The royal family announced that he would resign and retire, but only some people who knew the emperor's family affairs knew that the ambitious general would never come out in the wrath of Terenus.
Thanks to the "joint" efforts of Lordaeron artisans and orc prisoners, five statues of glory have begun to take shape. They are the people personally selected by Terenus to contribute greatly to the orc war, and they will stand on both sides of the stone bridge leading to the gates of the city-state of Lordaeron for the world to see!!
I remember that when the official in charge of drafting the list of heroes handed Tyrenus the parchment with the Lordaeron insignia on it, almost at a glance, he saw the inconspicuous name at the end.
After a moment's hesitation, Terenus took out the pen he had in hand, ticked off the name, and then handed it back to the official.
"The deeds of this mage will not be recorded in the annals of history, not even by name. I'll post a note saying that he died heroically in the last battle. That's it... Stand down!!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The official bowed slightly and stepped back.
......
In the Alterac Mountains, the sun was setting like fire, and a well-armed cavalry was slowly marching along the avenue by the lake, led by two men of about eighteen years of age. A closer look reveals that the team's flag bears the royal insignia of Lordaeron.
"Arthas, are you still distressed by that?" asked one of the teenagers.
"You can't feel that, Varian. β
Arthas looked a little depressed, and it seemed that he had not been relieved from the incident of the dinner party a few days ago.
"Is it that serious? Alsace? I was there. Arthas's best friend, Varian Ureon, spoke again.
He is a descendant of the Stormwind Kingdom and is also tasked with reviving the Stormwind Kingdom. This time with Alsace, he will return to his hometown to rebuild his homeland.
"I was a deep disappointer to his expectations. β
Arthas rode his war horse alongside Varian, but his eyes were full of self-reproach, "I swore to defend his rights and give him a fair verdict, but..."
He couldn't speak, and his face was full of loneliness.
In the past few nights, he tossed and turned in the palace and couldn't sleep, and his mind kept replaying the tragic situation when Xue Huan was wailing in pain.
If he was really a necromancer who did a lot of evil, it would be fine, but he didn't do anything to harm the country and the people. On the contrary, he also took a large part of the credit for the victory of this orc war.
He didn't understand, why did Xue Huan, who was supposed to be a hero, end up like this?
Why the hell is that?!
For the first time in his life, he questioned the so-called path of holy light!!
"I understand your feelings, Arthas. β
Varian said lightly: "My father was assassinated, and in this war, I have lost Sir Lothar, who rescued me from the rubble, swore to protect me to the death, and loved me immensely. I was in a state of great grief, but I still know that despair and doubt will not help us, on the contrary, he will pull us into the abyss, and there is more to be done in you and me!"
Arthas looked at Varian stunned, and at this moment, he realized that his best friend was far more mature than himself, and far stronger and more optimistic than himself, and Varian didn't even mind telling his most painful things, you know, this feeling is terrible!
"I'm sorry, Varian. Arthas hung his head apologetically.
"It's not like you, my friend!"
After the brief unpleasant memories passed, Varian regained his composure and even grinned at Arthas, "You will be a good king, believe me, as great as your father!"
"I hope so. β
Arthas smiled reluctantly.
