Chapter 411: The Worries of the Four Nobles

The crown ceremony was only the most popular part of the enthronement ceremony, which was followed by a grand banquet for important people at home and abroad.

Saljan has little interest in the same hedonistic feasts, but this one is different in that the new king, Kael'thas, will announce some important news at the banquet.

Kael'thas and Anastria had to return to the royal court to change out of their heavy gowns.

After that, the old king, who had already abdicated, would no longer attend banquets.

Anastria is not a person who can't afford to let go, and now that he has officially stepped down, he has handed over everything after that to Kael'thas and can rest assured that he will live in peace.

The Sun King will not participate in the first half of the feast, giving time for the delegates of various countries and the magnates of Quel'Salas to build relationships with each other.

As always, Salian was not interested in this kind of banquet socialization.

After a brief exchange with Uncle Verles and Baron Sangunar, he walked out of the familiar banquet hall alone, and came to the small garden on the side of the hall as he had done last time.

"Uh~"

Just like last time, someone in the small garden has already come first.

This time, though, it wasn't Sylvanas, but four people who surprised Sarean.

'Caponia, Solanlian, Mattis...... Who's the other one? ’

Kaponiaa and Solanlian are both Councilors of the Silvermoon, while Mattis is a rising star of the Flame Eagle Legion and will sooner or later succeed him as Legion Leader.

The above three people have a common characteristic, they are all the best of the younger generation of the four nobles.

Then, the origin of the fourth young man whom Sallian did not know was obvious, and it was clear that he was also a member of the Four Nobles.

Looking at the four aristocratic young talents who turned their heads to look at him at the same time, Sarren's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't believe that the four of them were gathered here in a neat fit was just a simple coincidence.

'Waiting for me here on purpose?' ’

It's not hard to find out that Salaan doesn't like banquets, and the last time he had a "tryst" with Sylvanas in the small garden, not many people knew about it, but it wasn't a big secret.

As long as you have the heart to inquire, with the power of the four nobles, it is not difficult to obtain this information.

Under the addition of the barrage, Sarian guessed the meaning of the four people.

Caponia, Solanlian, and Mattis are not yet the heads of the four nobles, but with the potential they have shown, it is only a matter of time before they gain enough support within the family.

At the forefront were undoubtedly Carbonia and Solanlian, who had gained the trust of Anastria and entered the Silvermoon Council, with Mattis slightly behind.

The Flame Eagle Legion is not a newly formed force like the Morning Striker Legion.

The Flame Eagle, Fire Wing, Flame Blade, and Sunfury are the four legions of Quel'Salas that are the most numerous and elite in their personnel.

The two legions of Firehawk and Firewing are in the hands of the Firehawk and Firefeather families respectively, while Fireblade and Sunfury are under the direct control of the Sunchaser royal family.

As the four nobles bowed to the royal family, the four most elite legions of Quel'Salas were all brought under the control of the royal family.

Most of the remaining medium-sized legions such as Yang Yan and Sun Shadow were also in the hands of noble families loyal to the royal family, and only a few small legions were infiltrated by the old nobles.

Moreover, this is a deliberate opening that Anastria deliberately opened in the early years, in order to prevent the aristocratic dogs who cannot control the military power from jumping over the wall and using their remaining influence to damage the political ecology and people's livelihood economy of Quel'Thalas.

Sarjan didn't think that those small legions that had been raised by the old aristocracy would be useful, and since Anastria dared to let them go, it meant that he had already made relevant emergency preparations.

There is an old saying in another world, once a son of heaven is a courtier.

Both Caponia and Solan Lian were promoted by the old king, and it is unknown whether the new king, Kael'thas, will continue to be used.

The old king admired Matiss's bravery and skill, but would Kael'thas, who was accustomed to seeing such a super-spec warrior like Sarjan, still trust him?

Today's four nobles have long since lost the confidence to dare to confront the royal family of the Sunchaser, and the civil strife three years ago almost broke their backbones, and a large number of elite clansmen were forced to deal with them internally, and they suffered heavy losses in talents.

But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even at the moment when the power is weakened, not everyone of the four nobles can touch the porcelain, and they still have a lot of influence in Quel'Thalas.

The old king reused the four nobles after internal self-examination, on the one hand, to take care of the old feelings, and on the other hand, to keep them to deal with the old nobles who had inflated ambitions.

The intelligence gathering ability of the four nobles is certainly not as good as that of the Sunseeker royal family with the Backlight Blade, but they also have their own channels to know the direction of the wind at the top in advance.

With the old nobles led by Darkan being cut in half, only Darkan saw the opportunity to cut the seat early, and the power of the old nobles has long been much worse than before.

The marquis and earls that Salian had seen before had only inherited the titles of their elders under the mercy of the old king, and their influence and financial resources had shrunk significantly.

In other words, the four nobles used to check and balance the old aristocracy are not as useful as they used to be.

Kael'thas has not yet clearly expressed his attitude towards the four nobles, which makes them very uneasy, and they are looking for Salian to find out about Kael'thas true intentions.

The Four Nobles weren't the old aristocrats who still wanted to fight to the death, they had long known the weight of Sarren in the eyes of Kael'thas.

According to their speculation, Salian should be reused after Kael'thas initially straightened out the government.

As the henchman of the new king, he must know a lot about the ruling plans of Kael'thas, which may include his attitude towards the four nobles.

Not to mention, Saljan really knew that it was Kael'thas who told him in private conversation.

Regarding the disposition of the four nobles, Kael'thas has not yet made up his mind, and he should continue to maintain the status quo in the short term, and adjust it at any time according to subsequent changes in the situation.

The old aristocracy had indeed lost power, but there were still nobles in Quel'Thalas.

Don't look at the current nobles united around the royal family, unanimously targeting the old nobles who are not dead in their hearts.

Once the remnants of the old aristocracy are uprooted by Kael'thas, will there be a change of attitude among the nobles who have no enemies?

Everything is still unknown.

There is a saying that a dragon slayer eventually becomes an evil dragon.

In order to avoid the possibility of finding a checks and balances in the event of an accident, Sarian suggested that Kael'thas keep the four nobles behind, which can be regarded as a conspicuous target for the nobles, so that the two sides can desperately involute within the framework set by Kael'thais.

No one does not want peace at home, but there is not and cannot be only one voice within any country, even if that voice comes from the royal family.

If you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen partially, you will be dark.

It doesn't matter if you listen to those sloppy remarks all day long, once or twice, but no matter how wise a person is, if he continues for a long time, he will inevitably slacken, which is human nature.

Sarayan wants to make sure that the two sides don't compete viciously, and set up a competitor that they can see right in front of their eyes.

Competition is the only way to ensure the rapid development of society, and in the long run, it is beneficial for Quel'Salas to keep the four nobles.

Although Kael'thas had not yet made up his mind, his attitude was clearly inclined to accept Sarren's proposal, and the old king had advised him on this matter before abdicating.

Kael'thas just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, which was the psychological shadow left by him before he was forced to study in Dalaran.

Thinking of the old father being squeezed by the four nobles at the beginning, Kael'thas who was born as a human son always had an evil fire in his heart that could not be dispersed.

This is something that Kael'thas as king must figure out for himself.

The two ends of the scale are state affairs and personal grievances, and if Kael'thas really wants to be his ideal Zhongxing Mingjun, he must learn to abandon his personal feelings and put state affairs first.

But this kind of persuasion is ...... Especially when it comes to the humiliation of his parents, Sarean, who is also a son of man, can't do it.

In principle, he can understand Kael'thais's feelings, but from an objective point of view, Sarean hopes that Kael'thas can control his emotions and successfully cross this hurdle.

Retracting his misguided thoughts, Salaan looked at the brown-haired man he didn't know among the four.

"Who is this?"

"Let me introduce you."

Mattis and Salaan had a conflict, and although it was only a battle of will, it was somewhat difficult for him to take the initiative to speak.

The Great Star Sorcerer Solanlian has always been taciturn and not good at words.

So the job of introduction fell on the eight-faced and delicate Carbonia.

With a friendly smile, Caponia introduced Sarren, "Count Deepshadow, this is the deputy head of the Firewing Legion, Petra Firefeather. ”

Petra politely bowed to Sarai, "It's an honor to meet you here, Count Deep Shadow. ”

"Chance encounter...... Is it? Heh~ Let's just think so. ”

Salian, who had a bottom in his heart, smiled calmly: "Since you can guess that I will come here, you should also know my temper." ”

"I don't like beating around the bush, four, if you have something to say, please say it."
