Volume IV The Rule of Chaos 182 The Means of Terenus

Tirio is a hero.

He was one of the first five paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand while the Orcs invaded the North, Master Alonthos Fao was alive, and the Covenant of Judgment in the legacy of Soladin the Great was in his hands.

The irony is that he was ...... The judgment was held, not in Lordaeron, not under the auspices of the king, but in the Valley of the Hearth, in his home, in the presence of many relatives and friends.

At that time, there were many nobles who participated in the trial, and some even needed to travel thousands of miles to attend the trial. Some members of the Knights of the Silver Hand were also asked to participate.

Why is this happening? Why? In fact, the reason is simple...... It's very simple to understand, and what you can't understand puts the blame on the whistleblower.

King Terenus wanted to take advantage of this time to fully control the Hexi region and part of the Hedong region in East Wild, and then take the opportunity to beat the nobles of the Hedong region fiercely.

That's it.

The Kingdom of Lordaeron is not the same as the Kingdom of Stormwind. Lordaeron is so big that the country is the size of three Storm Kingdoms. The territory of the Tirisfa region has always been safe and conscientious within the radius of Lordaeron City, and this guy Tyrenus II is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so all the nobles around him have a surprisingly good attitude towards this generation of lords.

I didn't tell you how King Terenus came to power.

Ha! That's not the point...... If you want to be a king, you don't need to wait for a pie to fall from the sky, but the probability that the pie will really fall on your head is lower than the probability that the eunuch will impregnate the king's wife.

In addition to the Tirisfa region, the West Wilder region is also quite loyal. However, the Hexi region of East Wilder is far away from the Hedong region, especially the Hedong region, which is far away from the Tiangao Emperor.

The existence of the king in the East Wilder region is more often a faith, a dispensable faith, and everyone's belief in the Light, religion may be the first, the second is their lord, and the third or even the fourth is the king.

Tirio was not a direct vassal of the king, he was only a retainer of Duke Nicholas Zverenhof. Now that Andohar is completely finished, and the most interesting thing is that Duke Nicholas Zverenhof has mysteriously disappeared temporarily, and without his own lord, the king is supposed to be the most direct master of all the minor lords of this land.

If it's just co-opting, what if this Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff appears again? Isn't it going to be very embarrassing?

The best way to solve all the problems and get them clean is to find a good reason and get rid of them. Kill the biggest, take the smallest.

But the biggest lord in the Hexi region is Tirio Fortin of the Valley of the Hearth. This man is a hero, a nobleman, a respected person, a paladin, one of the five paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand, all eyes on him! It's easier said than done to get rid of him!

So when the whistleblower came to Terenus with the little report, did you think the old man would have laughed out loud with joy in his heart? This is called stepping on iron shoes, finding nowhere to find it, and it takes no effort at all.

And this report was immediately very inspiring to King Terenus.

Problems left over from history often last for tens or even hundreds of years, but solving these problems requires not only wisdom but also patience. Be patient! Now he's waiting for that opportunity!

If the plague is a disaster or misfortune is a bad side, then the destruction of Andorjar and Stratholme is the other side of the disaster. Of course, it was unforeseen that he would lose control later, but it was the best time in the history of Tyrenus to take control of the East Wilder region!

He made a decisive move.

Stratholme's losses were indeed enormous, but they were also the best chance to take all the rights and lands and all the interests of the eastern region into his own hands.

Let me say one more thing...... I found out about the Cursed Cult and the Plague in Lordaeron, and I found the Cursed Sect and the Plague in Keldaron, so why do you say he hasn't done anything to the Barovs?

Oh, for the emperor, human life is important, and at the same time, human life is also the cheapest price to be abandoned. He was waiting for his chance, and he did.

Hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives in the city of Andorhar overnight, and if it had happened in another kingdom, it would have caused a sore on the king's buttocks. But what does Terenus do?

Does it seem normal for Alsace to come to Andohal to investigate, and then go to Stratholme, especially what Stratholm did?

I'm not talking about how Arthas is doing, I'm talking about Terenus! Of course, Terenus is such a son, as the future king, the current prince, he has to be a father to wipe his ass for everything. But what Alsace did was actually ...... To outsiders, it is ...... It's excessive.

I was the person in question and I knew his situation at the time. I also understand what he did, but this kind of behavior has a strong ...... in the eyes of other countries, in the eyes of the common people, and in the eyes of those nobles Bad signal.

Everyone has their own opinion, you know, but the king doesn't blame much for what Arthas did. This kind of political signal is a serious matter for them! Once this kind of thing is disturbed, there may be a big problem in this country!

Do you know why Terenus sent an envoy to call Arthas back from Northrend? At that time, the plague in the country had eased to a great extent, so what was Alsace called back for at this time? Bear him a grandchild?

One more point...... It's the attitude of Arthas towards Uther!

The Knights of the Silver Hand are a power that belongs to the king, but is it really?

Outsiders would seem to say how it is not, and the person who says such things must be a political idiot.

The Knights of the Silver Hand appeared for the war, but the war ended. Who should be in the hands of this power? Is it the king or the church?

When Master Alonsos Fao was alive, he was the core figure of the Holy Light Sect in the entire human world! But he died!

After he died, no one would be able to control the organization completely and forcefully!

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Gavinrad was a native of the Stormwind Kingdom and left Lordaeron. The Cult of the Light took root in the far south. It's nothing to Tyrenus, and it's nothing to let go for a few years so far away. Even if one day it is really developed, such a long distance is not a big threat.

But the remaining four ...... Uther was an extremely respected man after Fao, a member of the Cult of the Light...... Star.

That's right, star! But not the core!

Saidan is the king's man, he is the warrior of Lordaeron, and he is the first warrior. His honor is given by the king, which is easy to control, and the king controls him, and this is no problem.

Tulayan...... It would have been a very powerful pawn for the king, but this guy ...... Gone!

Now the five paladins are left with only one of the most famous Tirio Fortins. And Tirio doesn't happen to be his man!

The second batch of paladins was cultivated, and the number of paladins after the third batch increased, but the quality did not decline much!

Yes! If the third group of paladins is a rabble, the garbage is probably better, the main problem is that the Knights of the Silver Hand have taken root and thrived in East Wild, they believe in the Light, and the king who is thousands of miles away is not too important. And Tirio Fortin is the great hero, the man of their region, the hero, the icon, the symbol of them!

If you were a king, what would you think if such a thing were put on you?

Is theocracy for the people? Probably not. Theocracy is for the king, for the right, for the vested. Because of this, it was allowed to participate in the reign of the king. But once he began to threaten the king's rights......

Benedictas in Stormwind did a good job, and the advantage of serving the king wholeheartedly was that he could enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth without fear of political involvement.

But our Lord Uther apparently ...... I'm not very good at doing that. He's a good guy, a big good guy, but that's all he ......

Alas! The authorities are fascinated!

Therefore, it is extremely obvious that Arthas deposed King Uther at Stratholm and did not punish Arthas much.

Uther, of course, would be angry that he didn't give him a little face when he was treated as a slap in the face by his favorite student, but he should have felt that something was wrong immediately after returning to Lordaeron. The king's attitude towards Arthas should have made him know what his identity was, and he should know that his position was all given to him by the king, and even if he was reactivated later, he would have to clamp his tail and be a man.

Maybe it's nature...... Maybe it's ...... His...... The wheel of fortune can only go so far, and it is not up to anyone at all.

Terenus asked Uther to do this for three purposes, one is to see his loyalty, to see his ability. The second is to beat him and examine whether he is suitable to continue to be the head of the Holy See. The third is to show the people, so that the church and the knights know who their masters are.

History books only record history, and no one is judged, you are a hero, you are a bad person. History is known only to the parties involved, and then it is interpreted by future generations from various angles.

And what happened behind the words in the history books may only be known by a small number of people.
