Chapter 862 Increase the Right to Speak

As the Grand Duke of Storm and the Commander-in-Chief of the Alliance, Duke was definitely qualified to attend the enthronement ceremony of the two queens. But to sit in that position alongside the throne is an exaggeration.

The moment he saw the seat, Duke realized that the chair meant to be at the same height as the royal power was probably for him. He almost immediately decided that it was inappropriate!

In the temporary huge tent, as soon as the outsiders were driven away, Duke went crazy on the spot.

In front of the two queens, Duke asked directly: "What are you doing? Who is that chair for? Don't tell me, let me sit on it!"

"Yes! It's for you!" Sylvanas answered without hesitation.

Duke gritted his teeth: "Why!? At the beginning of the establishment of the alliance, the kings made a declaration that the status of any commander should not be higher than that of the king. The commander is only a coordinator, not a ruler!"

Sylvanas gave an answer that Duke had never thought of: "Just because you inherited the will of Alonsos Faol!"

"But, I am a mage!" Duke looked constipated.

"I asked Liadrin that when you and I jointly attacked, the golden soul gold coin you got out should be the condensed will of the former Holy Light Archbishop. Am I right?"

Duke... lost for words!

Next to her, Kalia began to sing a double act: "Why was the invasion of the Scourge so fast? Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas collapsed so easily? Why did the Church of the Damned God penetrate so easily into the upper echelons of the two kingdoms? The prince of Lordaeron has fallen!"

Sylvanas interfaced: "The king of Quel'Thalas has also fallen! There are also Darkhan and other members of the Silver Moon Parliament!"

Kalia continued: "Doesn't this just show how much harm the lack of faith has caused to the world? So after the two of us discussed it, and then voted at the top of the two countries, we unanimously passed a decision - from the day we ascend the throne , in order to fight evil and purify ourselves, the two countries regard the Holy Light Religion as the state religion and will vigorously promote the training of priests and paladins."

Sylvanas said again: "At the same time, our two countries will also mobilize elites and give them to your command to deal with the upcoming crusade against Archimonde!"

What they said made sense, but Duke was speechless!

If they wanted to push Duke out like this from a personal point of view, Duke would say nothing. The problem is that Duke has indeed inherited Alonsus' integrity, which cannot be denied. You know, Duke was the last person to see the archbishop before his death.

At that time, all the clergy in Stratholme saw that the archbishop gave Duke a copy of the inheritance of the Holy Light. Of course, the position of the Archbishop of the Holy Light was passed to Uther.

The problem lies here as well, because the Holy Light doctrine pursues selflessness and dedication too much, which actually conflicts with the interests of the nobility. This has led to King Terenas, who is bent on seeking territory, to suppress the Church of the Holy Light intentionally or unintentionally in the past ten years. Even Uther held the position of Archbishop of Holy Light. When Uther and Arthas clashed, Terenas, who believed that royal power was greater than divine power, directly demoted Uther.

With Uther being killed by Arthas in the Palace of Lordaeron, the position of Archbishop was again vacant.

Nowadays, there are quite a few people with the inheritance of the Holy Knight, but all of them are fighting sects. There is no one who can truly represent the will of the Holy Light in an all-round way.

If Duke is lifted out from this angle, it's not impossible.

Kalia added to the fire: "Duke, just agree. Now there is a trend of crazy revenge in both countries. I think it is necessary to properly guide this hatred. And Mograine, Abedis , Dathrohan and others all believe that you, with the true heritage of Archbishop Fao, can indeed represent the will of the Holy Light."

At this time, Ilucia, who had been following Duke silently, tricked Duke: "Turalyon and Windsor also agreed."

Sylvanas narrowed her eyes: "Liadrin, who is about to form the Holy Knights in our country, also thinks you are a good fit."

Duke suddenly realized that he had been completely betrayed by his women. If he doesn't stand up, the trend of the Blood Crusaders in history may really rise.

Throughout the ages, countless histories have proven that fanatics are destined to not end well.

Extremists will never be supported by the broad masses of the people precisely because of their extremes.

Now that he had saved Mograine and Abbendis, he would not be able to forgive himself if he allowed them to go back to their old ways.

Duke scratched his head: "Okay, you convinced me. Although in a way that I kind of hate..."

In the big tent, the three women showed happy expressions at the same time.

Ilucia smiled and said: "Have you finished talking about business?"

Now that the official business is over, the next step is private business.

Suddenly, the two queens, who had been so majestic just now, both had a slightly flinching expression. Of course, Queen Kalia's reaction was bigger.

Kalia, who knew she couldn't hide, stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Sorry! I was the one who proposed to do this this time."

Sylvanas added lightly: "But I agree."

If you agree, you are an accomplice. Queen Hope is loyal.

Duke put his hands on his hips: "I don't understand, what are you doing with this?"

Kalia raised her head: "I just want to tell you and the world that the two of us and the kingdom behind us support you unconditionally."

"Have you considered the reactions of other kingdoms when you do this? What do you want Magni to think? What do you want Daelin to think? What do you want Varian to think?"

"No, I think they will value your voice more. Now that the demon commander of the Burning Legion has arrived, according to Medivh's prophecy, there will be more world-ending crises coming to Azeroth. What we need is a more united Alliance, a single, correct voice!”

Duke certainly knows that his future actions will be correct. After all, the general trend is still heading in that direction. He is also sure that most of his opinions are correct. But at this point, is the alliance still the alliance?

Duke couldn't help but feel confused.

Ilucia spoke: "Duke, you haven't been here for the past ten years. So you don't know how serious the wrangling and internal strife within the alliance have been during the past period. If it weren't for the Kingdom of Stormwind and Ironforge at the top, Now, the Alliance has almost withdrawn the armies of Nethergarde Keep and canceled the monitoring of the orcs and fire elementals in Burning Steppes and Searing Gorge."

"Bastard! This is seeking death!" Duke was furious.

Sylvanas blinked: "That's why we did this to give you more say!"

Well, I recommend the book "The True Interpretation of the Master" by my friend Shen Laosan!

This guy drank with me... I can't refuse this guy's begging!
