Chapter 156: Knighted

Sindra, led by Talerville, walked in briskly from outside the gate.

The upper elves had a strong arcane aura that made the High Elves feel very familiar, and the nobles present had a pretty good first impression of the elegant Sindra.

Many people exchanged heads with the people next to them in surprise.

Since Darth Remar's crossing, the High Elves have cut ties with other upper elf races, and this is the first time that a non-Quel'Thalath upper elf has visited.

Soon, the High Elf nobles learned from the old king that Sindra was not simply visiting, but had been persuaded by Sarean to join Quel'Thalas.

This blockbuster news was released, which immediately caused an uproar at the scene.

Even Darkan looked at Saray on the stage in horror.

"This kid...... What is sacred? ”

Seeing that a stone stirred up a thousand waves, a smile curled up at the corner of Anastria's mouth, and finally he saw it.

"In order to welcome the new Sindra people who have joined the Quel'Salas family, I, the Sun King Anastria Step, hereby decide to reshuffle the Silvermoon Council!"

"What?!"

The nobles who were originally cheering suddenly got stuck, and the scene became silent.

The old king was unimpressed, and continued to speak confidently, "After Sindra joins Quel'Thalas, she will continue to retain the name of the 'Sindra Academic Organization', and you can elect a representative to join the Silvermoon Council. ”

The Silvermoon Council has maintained six seats since its inception, and the current six-member councillor all represent the interests of the traditional aristocracy.

Of course, Anastria could not sit idly by while the nobles had been in control of the council, and he took advantage of the perfect opportunity for Sindra to join Quel'Thalas, and he first inserted a nail in the council.

And that's just the beginning.

The four nobles belong to the royal family, and Anastria will definitely reward them accordingly.

Mattheis Firehawk has joined the Flamehawk Legion as a mid-level officer, and Solanrian Morningstar and Caponia Sunshadow, who are also loyal to the royal family, are eyeing a seat in the council.

Once caught by Anastria, the current members of the Silvermoon Council can change at any time.

Darkan finally understood the old king's plan, and suddenly felt a splitting headache.

Are the Silver Moon Councillors clean in their butts? This question doesn't even need to be answered.

If Backlight Blade really investigates deeply, including Darkan himself, all the councillors will be able to find the corresponding black material.

And...... And that's not all.

'The tide is over......

Seeing the current situation clearly, Darkan's originally straight back became a little rickety, and his high spirit also declined.

Even if you don't mention the meritorious nobles who rose after the battle of the trolls, with the four nobles and Sindra in hand, the old king with a great advantage can already be exported in the face, and it is difficult for the traditional nobles to come up with a means to resist.

Unless...... Play with fire.

But Darkan knew very well that the five legions were stationed outside Silvermoon City.

As soon as there is even the slightest movement in the city, these elite troops loyal to the royal family will immediately enter the city to serve the king, just in time to eradicate the traditional nobles who have died in one fell swoop.

Darkanbi spared no one's life, he didn't plan to go against the wind, and after making up his mind, he simply picked up his hands and didn't say a word, allowing his fellow parliamentarians next to him to jump and scold angrily.

'Scold as much as you want, this may be the last time you've been so presumptuous in front of the old fox.' ’

Standing on the stage, the Sun King noticed the change in Darkan's attitude, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

'Darkan...... This guy really knows the wind and rudder, but unfortunately, this time I am afraid that he will not be able to pull him off the horse as well. ’

After thousands of years in power, the veteran politician Anastria knew the balance and the truth of overreach.

If all the people of the four nobles were thrown into the council at once, it might cause another form of tail to be lost.

It is in the interest of the royal family to let the traditional aristocracy and the four nobles tear their heads to pieces in parliament.

As long as you can get the support of a majority of votes in the Silver Moon Council, it doesn't hurt to symbolically leave a few traditional aristocratic representatives, and it can also prevent those guys who are cornered from jumping off the wall.

'Solan Lian, Carbonia, and Tallerville only need one more to take a 4-3 advantage. ’

But this last spot is a bit of a headache for Anastria. valley

It was enough to join the two four nobles, and the old king tended to find henchmen among the nobles.

'The Deep Shadow family is a lonely minister, so it's not easy to push it up. ’

'Sangunar? The qualifications are too shallow. ’

'Or ......'

Anastria had a good candidate in mind, but it needed to do some preparation before pushing that person to the stage.

After announcing Sarean's exploits, Anastria announced his reward.

This time it wasn't just an item reward, in order to increase Sarean's sense of belonging to Quel'Thalas, the old king with plenty of confidence did not hesitate to give away the knighthood.

Although he was only the lowest-ranking honorary baron with no fief, the half-elf being named a nobleman was originally a subversive big news, and there was a lot of controversy on the scene.

In all fairness, with the merits announced by the Sun King before, it is not too much to give a real baron, and the problem is still in Sarjan's half-elf status.

Under the strong announcement of Anastria, the banquet finally ended without a hitch, but the aftermath did not dissipate so quickly.

Within a few days, the news of the half-elf's knighthood spread throughout Quel'Thalas, sparking a wide discussion throughout the High Elf society.

Aside from that, in the midst of the barrage of flowers, Sarlian was privately received by the old king after the banquet.

"Hoo ......"

Anastria wasn't young anymore after all, and the exhaustion of the banquet had subsided and the exhaustion had come over him as if he had aged a few years again.

After arriving at the meeting room, he smiled wryly and handed Saljan to Prince Kael'thas to entertain, and sat down to sip blood thistle tea to regain his energy.

During the previous feast, Kael'thas stood behind the Sun King as if invisible, and his old father resisted all the pressure and gossip.

This was a deliberate act by Anastria, who intended to do all the controversial things before he abdicated, and to put a relatively stable country in the hands of the young Kael'thas.

After more than a year of not seeing him, Kael'thas was still elegant, but his temperament seemed to be a little more mature than when he was in Dalaran, and he must have learned a lot of important lessons from the old king.

"Sarjan, it's been a long time, first of all, congratulations on officially becoming a member of the nobility."

Salian spread his hands helplessly: "Your Royal Highness, you should know that I don't care about the so-called title of nobility. ”

"Haha~"

Kael'thas smiled and patted Sarren's shoulder: "In life, some responsibilities are unavoidable, even if you don't need to, what about your family, your descendants?" ”

Salian smiled wryly and nodded, and Kael'thas pulled him to sit down.

"Father's decision announced today is just the beginning of a change in Quel'Thalas."

Kael'thas's handsome face became serious: "You should also know that due to the infighting between the nobles and the royal family, the development of Quel'Salas has been stagnant since the Troll War. ”

"Because the aristocracy controls the promotion channels, the class is solidified, the common people have no hope of getting ahead, and the whole society is like a pool of stagnant water."

"Coupled with the superior living environment, people do not need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and many people can get by and indulge in pleasure."

"In peacetime, the problem of Quel'Salas is not so easy to prominence, but this time the orc war has exposed a lot of problems."

Kael'thas looked at the old king with his eyes closed, and sighed softly: "The people of my father's generation are old, and the future is destined to be in our hands. ”

"Quel'Thalas can't afford to be left behind in this era of drastic change, it's time for a change."

Sarian asked noncommittally, "Your Royal Highness, how do you plan to change?" ”

Kael'thas smiled: "Start with the problem of class solidification, give hope to the people at all levels to rise, a country without vitality cannot run with all its legs open." ”

Saray moved with peace of mind and took the time to ask the barrage: "After adding a seat to Sindra, the Silver Moon Council will become an odd number of 7 people, and in order to get enough support, the royal family must get four of them." ”

"According to the information obtained from the previous exchange with Tallerville, there are three seats that have been firmly held in the hands of the royal family, so who will this last one be given?"

[Hmm...... Analyze the meaning of Kael'thas and the symbolism of Sarren's knighthood......]

[I speculate that the royal family may give this seat to someone of low status but high prestige among the people, as a signal to open the way to the lower echelons.] 】

【…… Isn't that the choice obvious? 】
