Chapter 598 Throne Vote

Anduin will never forget why his sword [Quel'zalam] was broken.

That's right, his Excalibur cannot attack a truly noble person. If he wasn't 100% sure before, then what happened after taking back the fragments of Excalibur to Archbishop Alonsus Faol and placing the fragments in Stratholme's holy water pool made him absolutely certain .

Because that shattered divine sword is recasting itself!

The reforging is indeed happening, albeit slowly.

In other words, if this inference is correct, Orgrim, a man of high character, must tell the truth, even if it is only about a rival duke who does not matter to him.

Anduin's eyes lit up: "I agree with Lord Marcus. We need the testimony of the chieftain Orgrim of the tribe as an important witness of the incident."

King Ryan was also shocked at this time, and he immediately understood why. You know, Anduin's once invincible sword was broken at a critical moment on the battlefield, which almost made him lose his best friend, which made Ryan entangled for a long time.

Ryan immediately chimed in: "I agree too."

Duke Barov raised his head, and he seemed a little hopeful amidst his astonishment. Because Duke... After all, Duke didn't abandon him when he was most desperate. He didn't know what the point of interrogating Orgrim was, but at least it was a hope.

At this time, Terenas spoke: "Summon Orgrim, the chief of the tribe, if his spirit is still normal..."

A servant was ordered to leave.

At this moment, the hearts of Duke Barov, Ryan, and Anduin jumped at the same time.

After a while, sure enough...

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Orgrim, the great chief of the tribe, was severely mentally stimulated by today's prisoner offering ceremony. He... he seems to be going crazy now, struggling crazily. We were forced to give him two 100 Largest shackles in the pound."

That's right, what Terenas said just now was a hint. After realizing that Orgrim, which they had been ignoring, could be a loophole and a wild card, they remedied this. Perhaps some kind of drug was used, causing Orgrim to temporarily lose his sanity.

All of a sudden, all chances of turning the tables were gone.

Duke Barov's face was ashen.

Anduin was a little strange. With Duke's mind, he shouldn't give the opponent a chance to make up for his flaws. What exactly is Duke trying to do?

Terenas spoke: "Then... it seems that there is no other way, we can only follow Orgrim's previous confession. Everyone, do you have any requests or new evidence? If not, then hold a throne vote , to decide whether to define the Alex Barov family as alliance traitors."

There was silence in the air.

Terenas ignored many suspicious or objecting eyes, and also ignored Ilucia's low sobs: "Then let's start the public voting."

Throne voting is the highest voting method for the alliance to decide major events. At the beginning, it was to prevent the commanders from being all from a certain country, so the commanders themselves did not have the right to vote. Taking the country as a unit, each alliance country has one vote, and Lordaeron, as the leader, has two votes. The countries involved do not have the right to vote.

There can be approval, opposition or abstention, and the motion will be decided according to the result with the most votes. If the number of votes in favor and against is finally the same, the will of the main country will be the final decision.

"The king who thinks the Barov family is a traitor to the alliance, please raise your hand."

Jean was the first to raise his hand, followed by Solas and Antonidas, and finally Terenas.

Now, according to the leader's double, there are already five votes.

But that's all.

Terenas was suddenly a little uneasy, and he said in a calm voice: "Okay, now, please raise your hand if you object, and you can keep silent if you want to abstain."

Ryan was the first to say: "This time, the voting rights of the Kingdom of Stormwind are given to Duke Marcus."

Almost at the moment Ryan's voice fell, Duke spoke in a loud and majestic voice: "The Kingdom of Stormwind opposes!"

King Daelin frowned. As one of the most staunch allies of the Stormwind Kingdom, he immediately followed suit: "Kul Tiras opposes it!"

A situation appeared that Terenas had never expected. He originally thought that the dwarves would take an attitude that had nothing to do with them. He even knew that Ryan never communicated with the dwarves because of this matter.

Who knows, Magni saw that it was Duke who objected, and even slapped the armrest of the throne: "Kaz Modan objects!"

At the same time as Magni's loud voice sounded, there was also the voice of Kurdran* Wildhammer: "The Eagle's Nest Mountain opposes!"

Who is Magni* Bronzebeard? The leader of the dwarf world, the ironforge copperbeard dwarves and gnomes wear a pair of pants. Magni objected, and Great Craftsman Gelbin immediately followed: "Gnomeregan objects!"

At this moment, Terenas' face turned green. He can see it now. These bastards don't look at the 'evidence' and don't 'reasonable', they oppose it purely because Duke opposes it. Rather than believing in objective things, they believed in the judgment of Duke who had really helped them. In this skeptical affair, Duke was clearly on the side.

Well, now it's five-on-five.

Theoretically, if this is the final result, Terenas can still use the power of the leader to pass this bill. The problem is, there is still a country with voting rights that did not vote!

For a moment, all eyes fell on the face of Kael'thas, Prince of Quel'Thalas, who represented the Sun King at the triumphant ceremony.

The extremely handsome Kaizi had a feverish face.

He never expected to be involved in the struggle between the leader of the alliance, Terenas, and Duke at this moment. There was no news about this matter beforehand, and no representative of any country had approached him.

Politically, this is definitely a disgrace to Quel'Thalas, because it means that the kingdom of the high elves has been marginalized in the political field. Of course, in a sense this is also the consequence of the high elves' long-term self-isolationism.

Personally, he should definitely help Duke.

Unfortunately, he is well aware of the mood at home. Even though Duke led his army to rescue Quel'Thalas, Quel'Thalas also sent a lot of support into the alliance army in the later stages of the war. In fact, the entire upper echelon of Quel'Thalas hated Duke.

It's simple, jealous!

What they couldn't do, Duke did. They can't keep their country, and they want Duke to take action.

The proud elf's face paled.

What's more, the member they sent, Marianne... was actually said to be Deathwing's servant, and was captured by the Red Dragon Queen. Many congressmen couldn't bear it emotionally, so they could only secretly vent their anger on Duke.

Therefore, in public, Kael'thas must not help Duke.

After wriggling his mouth for a long time, Kael'thas finally said, "Quel'Thalas abstains."
