Remember [New] in a second! As Sharlayan said, whether it is political influence or actual combat effectiveness, the Knights of the Silver Hand have a pivotal position in the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

In order to minimize the impact of royal infighting on the country, Calia and Alsace reached a gentleman's agreement in private.

Whoever wins the approval of the Knights of the Silver Hand will truly aspire to the throne, and the loser must immediately give up resistance to restore peace to the kingdom that is in the midst of civil war.

Whether it is the personal relationship with Uther or the confidence as the orthodox crown prince, Alsace has a greater advantage.

From the very 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 and support him publicly, at least he won't turn to Calia.

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

The royal family of Menethil is very strict in cultivating their descendants. Even Calia, who was used as a marriage vase by Terenas, has received combat training.

However, as a lady of the royal family, it is impossible for Calia to fight on the training ground covered in sweat like Alsace. The combat profession Terenas chose for her is a relatively elegant priest.

As a member of the royal family, it is a matter of course that he will receive a high-quality education. Terenas specially invited Alonsus Faol, the archbishop of the Church of the Holy Light, to be Calia's mentor.

Unlike Uther, Turalyon and the others, Archbishop Faol, who knew early on that Calia was not here, did not put much effort into her, but only regarded Calia as a registered disciple.

When Calia was young, she had a few encounters with Uther, who was still a priest at the Cathedral of the Holy Light in Lordaeron, but that was all.

After the establishment of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Uther, as the head of the group, was busy with military affairs all day long, and his contacts with Calia were only business affairs, with almost zero personal relationships.

According to common sense, Uther really shouldn't abandon his personal disciple Alsace and stand in line with his competitor Calia.

But... now is clearly not the time to do business as usual.

Most of Lordaeron's civil and military ministers, including Uther, knew that Alsace could not be blamed for the fact that the kingdom was deeply infiltrated by demons. These demons had obviously been lurking in Lordaeron's business forces for more than a year or two.

If you have to say it hard, Terenas, who is not strict with domestic censorship, should take the blame.

However, these demon worshipers only rebounded on a large scale after the death of Terenas. Coincidentally, it was just when Alsace and Calia were fighting for the throne.

Ordinary people in Lordaeron don't receive enough education, so they don't care about the presumption of responsibility, they only care about the current fait accompli.

If Lordaeron is still in a safe state, Uther can continue to turn a blind eye and wait for the competition between Alsace and Calia to decide the winner.

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

However, today is different from the past. The demons who sneaked into Lordaeron have already ridden on the head of the king's city to shit. Lordaeron needs to end the chaotic situation of leaderless dragons as soon as possible, and re-establish a central government with a strong appeal to smooth out the turmoil in various places. .

After this devil's rebellion, Alsace, as the orthodox crown prince, will inevitably take the blame, and his reputation among the people will definitely plummet.

Those of his followers who could not bear the backlash should also reconsider whether to change their positions.

Although it is impossible to be reused by jumping to Princess Calia at this time, it is better than stepping into the grave with Alsace.

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

After hearing Uther's muttering, Tirion and Saidan, who were closest to him and knew him best, showed surprise on their faces.

Sai Dan wiped the blood from his face, and asked in disbelief: "Uther, have you really decided? You must know that once you shoot the bow, there will be no turning back."

Tirion also persuaded with a complicated expression: "Although I personally agree with your choice, considering your relationship with him...do you really not need to think about it?"

Uther smiled with a bitter expression on his face: "How can manpower defy the torrent of the times? Why don't I want to shrink my head and wait for a while, but Lordaeron can't afford to wait anymore."

"Hey~"

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

Sai Dan also nodded with a serious expression: "Me too."

"I believe that Turalyon and Gavin Ladd, who are not here now, would not raise objections if they knew the current situation."

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

"Alliance...?"

Uther smiled self-deprecatingly: "Indeed, under the current situation where the crisis that threatens the world is beginning to emerge again, it is time for this organization that has existed in name only to be revived again."

"Crack!"

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

"Come on, it's up to us to end this civil war."

"oh!"

…

On the outskirts of Brill, a satellite town outside the King City of Lordaeron, the armies under the command of Calia and Arthas were still fighting each other.

However, because of the restraint orders issued by the leaders of both sides, this civil war that was supposed to hit the earth was like an actual combat exercise.

In the words of barrage, there is smoke but no injury.

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

After finishing many chores in the territory and the country, Sharlayan finally took Valeera to the forefront of the Lordaeron civil war.

It's a pity that they came one step too late. The unusually conscientious Balnazar and Detherock had already fled away, leaving only some cannon fodder troops that could not be taken away to block the pursuit of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

When receiving a message from Galad Broken Star, who was monitoring the battle situation all the way, Sharlayan had just arrived in the small town of Brill, and it was obviously too late to rush to the Royal City.

"never mind."

Sighing helplessly, Sharlayan turned his gaze to the less intense battlefield outside the town.

Although Yin Nasi asked Sharlayan to stay in the territory as much as possible within a year, she would settle her own marriage first, and by the way, consolidate some small 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 accepts death after all.

When necessary, Sharlayan can still go out freely, and Yin Nasi believes that her son can handle this well.

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

He will prioritize national interests, integrate the opinions of the Knights of the Silver Hand under the assistants of Tirion and Saidan, and take the initiative to stand up to end the two-year crown prince dispute.

Sharlayan deliberately allowed the demons to act as monsters in the King City of Lordaeron at this time, and had originally planned to take the opportunity to suppress the prestige of Alsace.

The development of the situation was just as Sharlayan predicted. When he hurried to Brill, Uther and other high-ranking paladins, who had not yet washed their filth, were coming outside the palace with high morale to see the two members of the royal family.

Yes, two.

After making up his mind, Uther planned to announce the final decision of the Knights of the Silver Hand in front of the two competitors.

Just when Sharlayan and Valeera were planning to sneak into the royal city under the guidance of Galad Broken Star to witness the final scene of the new king, Kel'Thuzad suddenly sent an unexpected message.

"Huh? Tomb of Faol?"

Sharlayan looked at the short note sent by Kel'Thuzad in astonishment, and there was only a short sentence on it.

"Ner'zhul bypassed me and gave a direct order to a senior psychic ~lightnovelpub.net~ They are rushing to Faol's tomb."

Faol's Tomb, as the name suggests, is the tomb of the late former Archbishop of the Church of the Holy Light, Alonsus Faol, located outside a Holy Light Church monastery in the northeast mountainous area of ​​Tirisfal Forest.

Since Archbishop Faol was buried, a large number of people from Lordaeron spontaneously came to mourn this venerable saint.

However, with the passage of time, the flow of people in Faol's Tomb has declined year by year.

Although the people of Lordaeron did not forget this venerable archbishop so quickly, they also had their own lives, and it was impossible to put all their energy on a deceased person.

Except for the priests of the monastery who are responsible for maintaining the cemetery, Faol's Tomb will only welcome a small number of devout believers of the Holy Light during holidays.

Just when two members of Lordaeron's royal family broke out in a civil war in the outskirts of Brill, and Lordaeron's royal city was also disturbed by demons, Ner'zhul set his sights on the once famous archbishop.

Sharlayan: "It seems that the Lich King intends to resurrect Faol as the first undead priest of the Scourge who can master the Holy Light."
