Chapter 975: Uther's Decision

Qingfeng Village is located on a high ground in the west of the central part of Yongge Forest, built next to the mountain and extending in all directions.

There are only two parallel stops on the way from the southern part of the forest to Silvermoon City, one of which is the Sunny Wind Village under the name of the Firehawk family, and the other is the Eastern Sanctuary managed by the Firefeather family.

Rather than the Eastern Temple, which has a solemn atmosphere and stricter censorship of outsiders, passing caravans and tourists prefer to stay in the Sunny Breeze Village.

Not only because of its popularity, Qingfeng Village is also the closest village and town to Yangfan Port, but anyone who plans to visit Yangfan Port or go to sea will have a high probability of passing by Qingfeng Village.

Of course, there is also another direct road to Yangfan Harbor, which can go directly from the Golden Branch Valley near the southern part of the forest.

Due to the sins done by the orcs during the invasion, the once densely vegetated Golden Branch Valley was burned into a scorched earth, and for a long time it was renamed the Scorch Valley by the locals.

Thanks to the joint efforts of the local lords and cabinets, it is only in recent years that the Valley of the Golden Branches has gradually regained its old look.

As the most important transit point on the way to Silvermoon City, Sunny Wind Village has a large flow of people all year round, and there are a large number of noble manors scattered around Sunny Wind Village.

The nobles held almost non-stop banquets near Sunny Breeze Village, and for those who like to have fun, living near Sunny Breeze Village means that there are new surprises every day.

As a result, Sunny Breeze Village is also the place where you can feel the aristocratic and corrupt life of Quel'Salas outside of Silvermoon City, attracting a large number of tourists from home and abroad every year.

Although Sunny Wind Village is the territorial capital of the Yanying Family, their lord's mansion was not built inside Sunny Wind Village, which had a large flow of people, but was built in the form of a manor on the outskirts of Sunny Breeze Village.

This Flame Eagle Manor is where Sarren intends to meet with Baron Rivendell.

Baron Rivendell was busy grabbing territory with the "Townsman" of Talon on the banks of the Sodoril River, and it would take some time to prepare for his return to Stratholme, and the meeting was scheduled for a week.

During the week's waiting time, the tide of battle in Lordaeron took a new turn.

Arthas and his army were initially caught off guard by the surprise attack of Garia, but there was a gap in strength between the two sides.

Having passed the first moment of danger, the Alsace army gradually seized the initiative on the battlefield.

If it weren't for Alexandros Mowglini, who was in charge of the Garia's army, to adjust his strategy in time, a ferocious counterattack planned by the Alsace side would probably have caused great damage to the Garia's army.

Even after escaping this crisis, the princess's army inevitably fell into a disadvantage on the battlefield.

At the same time, the Knights of the Silver Hand, led by Uther and Dasohan himself, began to operate in large numbers within the royal city of Lordaeron.

Uther, who has the intention of eliminating all demons, is more aggressive, and anyone who is found to be in collusion with the demons, the knights of the Silver Hand with the orders of both the prince and the princess will not hesitate to take them down and take them away for strict scrutiny, regardless of the identity of the other party.

Uther hopes to catch the demon spy leader lurking inside Lordaeron as soon as possible, but it has not been a day or two since the Dreadlord sent people to infiltrate Lordaeron, and the intertwined network of relationships has made Uther's scalp a little numb.

Doing extraordinary things at extraordinary times, Uther gritted his teeth and treated all those who colluded with demons equally, regardless of the risk of offending people.

As a result, the Knights of the Silver Hand offended a large number of nobles in just one week, and more than a dozen letters of impeachment against Uther could be seen on Arthas and Galia's desks every day.

Galia and Arthas were furious that Lordaeron had been infiltrated into a sieve by demons.

If they were to make a move, the two members of the royal family would not be able to think of a safe solution for a while.

Since Uther took the initiative to stand up as this offending sword, the two of them took it upon themselves to ignore his excesses of offending people, and allowed Uther to conduct a large-scale heresy trial in the city.

The paladins of Lordaeron are pious, and the power of the Holy Light is relatively pure, and their Holy Light will react sensitively to evil energy that is considered evil, and the noble officials related to the demon will catch it one by one.

Here, Galia and Arthas are fighting fiercely around Brill, and Uther is also making a lot of noise in the city, and Lordaeron, who has been quiet for a long time, seems to have entered an era of turmoil overnight.

In the process of Uther and the others' iron-faced selfless investigation of the nobles' collusion with demons, the clerk of the Order in charge of statistics unexpectedly discovered a pattern.

"Are you sure?"

Facing the frowning questioning of the head of the regiment, the clerk of the Knights, who had been under a lot of pressure, nodded with difficulty.

"Captain, people may lie, but data doesn't."

"According to the list submitted by you and Deputy Head of Sedan, more than 75% of the nobles and officials who have colluded with the devil are on the side of the Prince of Arthas."

"This ......"

Uther was a little dumbfounded by the result: "How can this be? Princess Galia is less than 25 on that side? ”

"No, less than 15%."

The clerk knight pushed the monocle: "The other 10% did not stand in line between the two royal families, and even ...... Some come from within the Knights of the Silver Hand. ”

The explosive news staggered the normally energetic Uther, who sat down in his chair with a pale face with Saidan's support, which frightened the clerk of the Order who had reported truthfully.

Saidan, who looked tired, smiled bitterly and waved his hand to the other party: "Thank you for your hard work, you can leave first, let Uther have a good rest." ”

"Yes...... Be! ”

It wasn't until everyone in the room had left that Uther came back to his senses and gave his self-deprecating answer to the phenomenon.

"Princess Jialia's rise is too short, I'm afraid even the demon didn't expect her to emerge, and the attention paid to Princess Jialia is obviously not enough."

"In contrast, if nothing else, it is not surprising that Artace, as the crown prince, will be succeeded as the new king, and become a key target of demon infiltration."

Saidan Dasohan sighed silently: "What should we do next?" According to statistics, the people we have found out are only the tip of the iceberg, if we continue to dig deeper......"

"Hey~"

Uther Shuangyang looked at the ceiling with a blank look: "I know that according to this ratio, continuing to track down will definitely affect the competition between Arthas and Galia, and even ...... Decide the outcome of this infighting. ”

Saidan opened his mouth several times to say something, but he finally chose to remain silent because of his stupid mouth.

"So?"

A new voice came from outside the door: "Are you going to give up?" Just because our anti-evil actions may interfere with the 'fair' struggle for the throne between the two royal families? ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Uther and Saidan perked up at the same time.

"Tirio?!"

A burly old man in paladin armor with half-white hair walked through the door carrying a warhammer, one of the original paladins, Lord Tirio Ferdin, of Hearthvale, and a good friend of Uther and Sedan.

"Hah!" Putting down the heavy hammer, Tirio gave the two old friends a heavy hug: "It's been a long time, you look a lot older." ”

Uther, who had been frowning lately, finally had a smile on his face: "Old man, you came at the right time, we are short of people." ”

"I'm afraid it's not just a lack of people."

Tirio smiled meaningfully: "Because the implication is too wide, the two of you can't make up your mind to continue the investigation, and at this time, you need to bring in a third person with weight to avoid an embarrassing draw in the vote." ”

"Come on, old rules."

Tirio reached out and patted the shoulders of the two old friends, "I support continuing to act." ”

"Whatever the outcome of the battle for the throne, Lordaeron will continue to develop."

"The demons that have infiltrated the whole territory of Lordaeron have become a big trouble, and now is not the time to take care of the old feelings, and the fighter plane is fleeting."

Saidan also nodded solemnly: "Our action to startle the snake this time has made the other party vigilant, and the pressure of the noble officials is a manifestation of their hysteria. ”

"I suggest continuing to act, eradicating the evil, and not allowing these disgusting parasites to continue to lie on Lordaeron and suck blood!"

"Even if it's ......"

Saidan pursed his dry lips: "This will cause Arthas's unrecognized evaluation to spread throughout the country, and disguise the prestige of Princess Garia." ”

Uther's face changed for a moment, and under the silent gaze of Tirio and Sedan, he finally made up his mind and opened his bloodshot eyes.

"As the head of the Knights of the Silver Hand, I give an order to the entire Knights, and the operation continues! Remove the demon's threat as soon as possible before the other party can come up with a feasible countermeasure! ”

"Regardless of the identity of those who collude with the devil, all of them will be treated equally, and no tolerance will be tolerated!"

"Even if it......" Uther's eyes flashed, "even if the people who collude with the demons are the henchmen who are with the Prince of Arthas and Princess Galia." ”
