In the evening, Arthas led Farrar, Pharyn, and hundreds of Silver Hand Knights to Steinbrad.

"Where's Uther?"

Handing the reins to a soldier, Arthas, dressed in military uniform, with a golden hammer on his back and a cold face, strode into the two-story tower in the middle of the entire Steinbrad, where Uther usually worked.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, son, come up. ”

A deep voice came from the second floor of the tower, and even though it had been a long time since Uther had been seen, the deep voice Arthas could still make out the sound.

Three steps and two steps, Arthas strode up with Falar, Uther was on it, and the paladin was pointing to the strategic map, discussing something with Gavin Rad beside him.

The dull sound of footsteps drew Uther's attention back, and when he saw the comer, his eyes lit up, and he stopped the hand he was gesturing and walked towards Arthas, "Welcome, child, I am very sincere about Lordaeron and your father..."

Uther even opened his hands to hug his apprentice, knowing that Arthas needed a little solace now.

"Say no more, Uther. ”

Unceremoniously interrupting Uther's words, Arthas looked indifferently at the paladin, whose hands were frozen in mid-air.

"What's wrong with you, Your Highness the Prince?"

Gavin Rad also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, he glanced at Alsace, who was pale but still determined, and then at Uther, whose smile was fixed on his face, "Maybe we should calm down and talk about ... Well... About what happened recently, and what you plan to do in the future. ”

"Peace of mind?"

As if hearing some joke, Arthas actually laughed in Uther's incredulous expression, "Lordaeron has been completely destroyed, my father and sister, one dead and the other missing, and now we don't even know the name of the root cause of all this disaster, how can we be calm?

The reddened eyes and choked tone made Uther a little unbearable, he knew that his beloved disciple had already endured too much, and the pain of the destruction of the country and the family was not something that everyone could bear.

But at the same time, Uther also saw a not-so-good sign in Arthas's pale face, and the paladin tried to control his anger and asked in a low voice, "What about you? What are you going to do?"

"Just today at noon, I received a report from some scouts that the undead creatures had all retreated from the Tirisfala glades, and their next target was the elves, Quel'Thalas. ”

Just as Uther was secretly glad that Arthas still had some sanity, the latter sentence sent the paladin into the abyss, "Time is running out, I want you to lead the soldiers of Steinbrad and go with me to snipe those undead." ”

"Are you crazy, Alsace ?!!!!"

Uther's eyes widened in disbelief, he couldn't believe that Arthas would make such a stupid decision.

The paladin stepped forward and grabbed Arthas's shoulders and shook violently, "Wake up, kid, the number of those undead is in the tens of thousands, and the number of these horrors is growing day by day, after the fall of Lordaeron, the total number of soldiers we have is no more than five thousand, and most of them are new recruits, what are we going to fight with those guys now?"

The anguish of the ruin of the country had shattered Arthas's sanity, and now his beloved disciples, like Lothar, were carried away by hatred.

"Do you also support His Royal Highness's decision? General Falar?"

Passing over Arthas, Uther turned his gaze to Faral behind him.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and in the face of Uther's honest gaze, Farrar chose to tilt his head to the other side, it was clear that the sixth-order knight did not agree with Arthas's orders either, but he had no better way to solve the crisis in front of him.

"Your Royal Highness, Uther is not without a way. ”

Feeling the tense atmosphere between the master and apprentice, Gavenrad couldn't help but walk up and persuade: "From the perspective of a courtier, although most of us come from the Stormwind Kingdom that was destroyed two years ago, we have lived in Lordaeron for so long, and we have worked together to resist the attack of the orc legion, and we have long regarded Lordaeron as our homeland. ”

"We are very saddened by the destruction of the country and the death of the king, but this is in no way a reason to die. Long before you arrived, Uther ordered the heralds to send several urgent letterheads, inviting people from all walks of life to gather at the Chapel of the Light's Wish to discuss ways to fight the undead, and if Your Highness wished, we could nominate you to be the commander of the Alliance. ”

Gavin Rade's words had already been said very tactfully, but Arthas, who had been blinded by anger at this time, could not listen to them at all.

"You cowards, I am saving my country, and you are huddled here, timid, and forsaken the people, is this your glory as paladins?"

Without giving the people around him the slightest face, Arthas had red eyes and shouted in a voice that everyone could hear: "As the new king of Lordaeron, I order you to gather soldiers at once and assist me in clearing the darkness north. ”

The categorical tone of his tone made the usually mild-tempered Gavin Rad slightly angry, and the phrase "forsake the people" trampled on his glory as a paladin, and just as he was about to step forward and say something, Uther was already in front of him.

"Even though His Majesty Terenus is dead, you have not ascended the throne as the new king, and you have no right to issue such an order, Arthas!" Uther said word by word as he met Arthas's annoyed gaze without evasion.

"Good, you guys are doing a great job!!"

Arthas stared at Uther and gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't obey my orders, Uther, then I will consider your actions treason!"

What is the charge of treason, no one present is not clear.

This time, it wasn't just Uther and Gavinrad, but even Falar, who had been silent, had an expression of disbelief.

"Treason?"

Uther said excitedly, "Are you crazy? Alsace ?!!"

"Really, I'll make you pay for your cowardice!!"

With a sneer, Arthas pointed at the shocked Uther and said in a loud voice: "Lord Uther, you have been convicted of treason! I declare in my capacity and right as the new king of Lordaeron that your title and control of all the armies under his command will be immediately removed!!"

"Smack!!

Gavenrad could no longer contain his anger, and he kicked on a nearby stool, the sawdust scattered, and Uther, beside him, his eyes widened and the green tendons on his neck bulged.

After a long time, the paladin was relieved from his shock, and Uther sighed, but loyalty did not seal his tongue, "Arthas... You're crossing a dangerous line..."

Without paying attention to Uther's solemn expression and the deep meaning of this sentence, Arthas forcibly removed the paladin's hands, turned around and walked downstairs with an angry face, and at the same time, an angry voice also came,

"Faric, let's go, let these shrunken turtles cower timidly in their shells, we will go to save those innocent and kind civilians, let them know that the country has not abandoned them at this dangerous juncture!"

This time, Farrar didn't keep up with Arthas, and in the face of the prince, who was already in a deep rage, the sixth-order knight began to think about the future of the empire on his own.

"Uther, what shall we do now?"

After Arthas left, Gavin Rade came over and patted Uther on the shoulder, the anger on his face not subsided.

It took a long time for Uther to recover from his shock, and it was clear that he had not expected Arthas to become like this.

Uther had planned to publicly nominate Arthas as the commander of the remaining Knights of the Silver Hand and the entire alliance against the undead at the upcoming meeting after welcoming Arthas, as the Son of the Light and the only legitimate royal descendant of Lordaeron, and he was indeed qualified.

Losing control, Arthas disrupted Uther's plans, causing the paladins to hesitate.

But in any case, since he has been determined to fight against those tens of thousands of terrifying undead creatures, then even if he loses Arthas, he must stand up and preside over the overall situation, thinking of this, Uther calmed down and said in a deep voice,

"Gavonrad, assemble the soldiers, and we'll rush to the Chapel of Light's Wish at once!!"
