As Sarian said, the Knights of the Silver Hand have a pivotal position in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, both in terms of political influence and actual combat effectiveness.

In order to minimize the impact of the royal strife on the country, Galia and Arthas privately entered into a gentleman's agreement.

Whoever wins the approval of the Knights of the Silver Hand will be crowned to the throne, and the losing side must immediately give up resistance and restore peace to the kingdom in the midst of civil war.

Whether it is his personal relationship with Uther or his confidence as an orthodox crown prince, Alsace has a great advantage.

From the beginning, he didn't think that the Knights of the Silver Hand would fall to his sister.

Even if the stubborn Uther is unwilling to stand up for him publicly, at least he will not turn to Garia.

Although Uther has a stubborn temper, he is still a person with seven emotions and six desires, and he will inevitably have emotional biases.

The royal family of Minethir is very strict in the cultivation of its descendants, and even Galia, who was used as a vase for marriage by Terenus, has been trained in combat.

However, as a royal lady, it is certainly impossible for Galia to fight on the training ground like Arthas, and the fighting profession that Terenus has chosen for her is a relatively urbane priest.

As a member of the royal family, it is natural that he will receive a high-quality education, and Terrenast intends to invite the Archbishop of the Church of the Light, Alonthos Fao, to serve as the mentor of Galia.

Unlike Uther and Tulayan, Archbishop Fao, who knew that Jialia was not here for a long time, did not devote much effort to her, and only regarded Jialia as a registered disciple.

When Galia was a child, she had several encounters with Uther, who was still a priest at the Cathedral of the Light in Lordaeron, but that was all.

After the establishment of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Uther, as the head of the Knights, was busy with military affairs all day, and his correspondence with Galia was only on official business, and personal relations were almost zero.

It stands to reason that Uther should not abandon his protégé Arthas to side with his rival Galia.

But...... Now is clearly not the time to act on common sense.

Most of Lordaeron's civil and military ministers, including Uther, knew that the kingdom was deeply infiltrated by demons and that Arthas was not to blame, and it was obvious that these demons had been lurking in Lordaeron's power for more than a year or two.

If you have to say it, Terenus, who is not strict in domestic censorship, should bear this black cauldron.

However, these demon worshippers only rebelled on a large scale after the death of Terenus, and coincidentally at the time when Arthas and Galia were fighting over the throne.

The education of ordinary people in Lordaeron is far from sufficient, so they do not care about the presumption of responsibility, but only care about the fait accompli of the moment.

If Lordaeron is still safe at home, Uther can continue to turn a blind eye and wait for the competition between Arthas and Galia to be decided.

As he himself has said, the Knights of the Silver Hand are not loyal to a particular king, but to the entire kingdom of Lordaeron and its people.

However, this is no longer the case, and the demons who have infiltrated Lordaeron have ridden to the royal city to, and Lordaeron needs to end the leaderless chaos as soon as possible, and re-form a central government with strong appeal to sweep away the turmoil in various places.

After this demonic rebellion, Arthas, as the orthodox crown prince, will inevitably bear this black cauldron, and his reputation among the people will definitely plummet.

His followers, who can't bear the backlash, should also reconsider whether to change their stance.

Although it is impossible to be reused by jumping to Princess Garia's side at this time, it is better than stepping into the grave with Arthas.

As long as the family inheritance is still there, there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future.

Hearing Uther's muttering, Tirio and Sedan, who were closest and knew him best, had a look of surprise on their faces.

Saidan wiped the blood from his face and asked in disbelief, "Uther, have you really decided?" You must know that once you open the bow, there is no turning back. ”

Tirio also had a somewhat complicated expression and said, "Although I personally agree with your choice, considering your relationship with him...... Don't you really have to think about it again? ”

Uther smiled bitterly: "How can the torrent of the times be disobeyed by manpower?" I don't want to shrink my head and wait a little longer, but Lordaeron can't afford to wait anymore. ”

"Hey~"

Tirio patted Uther's dirty shoulder armor heavily, "No matter what your final decision is, I will always support you." ”

Saidan also nodded with a heavy expression: "Me too." ”

"I believe that Tulayan and Gavin Lade, who are not here today, would not have objected if they had known the status quo."

"Do what you want, Lightbringer of the Alliance."

"Alliance...... ? ”

Uther smiled self-deprecatingly: "Indeed, with the current situation where the crisis that threatens the world is beginning to emerge again, it is time for this long-standing organization to be revived again. ”

"Smack!"

Uther patted her cheeks vigorously, raised her bloodshot eyes after a night of fighting, and looked firmly at the palace of Lordaeron, which stood as always on the high ground north of the royal city.

"Let's go, it's up to us to end this civil war."

"Oh!"

……

On the outskirts of the satellite town of Brill outside King Lordaeron, the armies of Galia and Arthas are still fighting each other.

However, because of the restraint orders issued by the leaders of both sides, this civil war that was supposed to be Mars hitting the Earth was like a real combat exercise.

In the words of the barrage, it means that there is no harm in the smoke.

"Tsk~ I still let those two big bats run away."

After finishing many chores in the territory and at home, Sarena finally rushed to the front line of the civil war in Lordaeron with Valeera.

Unfortunately, they arrived a step too late, and the unusually heartfelt Banazar and Dessellock had already fled, leaving only some cannon fodder troops that could not be taken away to stop the pursuit of the Silver Hand Knights.

When he received the message from Garad Shatterstar, who had been monitoring the battle, Salaen had just arrived in the small town of Brill, and it was clearly too late to get to the royal city.

"Forget it."

Sighing helplessly, Sarjan turned his gaze to the battlefield outside the town.

Although Yin Nasi asked Sarian to stay in the territory as much as possible for a year, she would get her own marriage first, and by the way, she also consolidated some minor troubles caused by the promotion of the title and the rapid expansion of the territory.

But Yin Nasi is not the kind of person who only admits death after all.

When necessary, Salian is still free to go out, and Yinas believes that her son can grasp this degree.

Based on the speculation and discussion of Sarren and Kel'thugad, after personally participating in the local chaos provoked by the Burning Legion demons, Uther's elm head should be able to open up.

He will take the initiative to end the two-year battle for the crown prince by taking the initiative to unite the Knights of the Silver Hand with the support of Tirio and Saidan.

Salaan deliberately allowed the demons to act as demons in the royal city of Lordaeron at this time, and he had the intention of taking the opportunity to suppress the prestige of Arthas.

As Sarian had predicted, when he hurried to Brill, Uther and other high-ranking paladins who had not yet washed away their filth were coming to the palace in high morale to meet the two members of the royal family.

Yes, two.

Having made up his mind, Uther intends to announce the final decision of the Knights of the Silver Hand in front of the two contenders.

Just as Saljan and Valeera were about to infiltrate the royal city under the guidance of Garad Shatterstar to witness the final scene of the new king's determination in person, Kel'thugad suddenly sent a surprising news.

"Huh? The Tomb of Faw? ”

Saljan stared in amazement at the short note that Kel'thugad had transmitted, with only a small paragraph on it.

"Nao Zu bypassed me and gave a direct order to a high-level psychic, and they are rushing to Fao's tomb."

The Tomb of Fao, as the name suggests, is the tomb of the late former Archbishop of the Church of the Light, Alonthos Fao, located outside a monastery of the Church of the Light in the mountains northeast of the Tirisfard glade.

Since the burial of Archbishop Fao, a large number of people in Lordaeron have spontaneously come to pay their respects to this venerable saint.

However, as time went on, the footfall at Fao's Tomb decreased year by year.

Although the people of Lordaeron were not so quick to forget the venerable archbishop, they also had their own lives, and it was impossible to put all their energy into a man who had passed away.

In addition to the monastic priests who are responsible for maintaining the cemetery, the tomb of Fao welcomes a small group of devout followers of the Light only during holidays.

However, when the civil war broke out between the two members of the royal family of Lordaeron on the outskirts of Brill, and the royal city of Lordaeron was also stirred up by demons, Neozu set his sights on the once famous archbishop.

Sarjan: "It looks like the Lich King is planning to resurrect Fao as the first undead priest of the Scourge to wield the Light. ”
