Chapter 543 Lordaeron Kingdom Army
Before the light of dawn faded, Uther led his people to Andorhal. He received a letter from Terenas, and the Knights of the Silver Hand would officially intervene.
It has to be said that today's alliance countries are much higher than the original historical line in terms of information transmission.
In the original history line, the natural disasters and plagues were already raging in Lordaeron, and Tenaris was still arguing with his courtiers in the palace. When Medivh went to lobby, he happened to catch up with this scene.
Terenas is not a dorky, incompetent monarch.
On the contrary, Terenas was very courageous and decisive. It was him who let the alliance army take advantage of the aura of the rainbow to kill the Dark Portal and eradicate the evil of the orcs.
Many people believe that this bold and wise decision was made by Turalyon, and that Terenas is just a "command well" that everyone knows.
But in fact, this is not the case. Neither Lothar nor Turalyon are great nobles (Lothar has a noble blood, but has already fallen down), they are just heroic commanders with extremely high personal charisma.
Combat is a stage for heroes, but once it expands to the level of war, when there are more heroes, they are banners created by decision makers according to their needs.
War is an act of organizing forces to confront and fight in an all-round way, and the human-beast war in Azeroth is even more of a race war. In such a war, the heroic commander is the brightest gold in the sand raised by the big waves, and the king represented by the king The rulers are the forces that are more likely to influence the direction of the tide.
Without Terenas' decision, without the strong support of all parties headed by the Kingdom of Lordaeron, no matter how powerful Turalyon's appeal was, he would not be able to kill Heimen.
He is the successor of Marshal Lothar of the Alliance and a native of Lordaeron. He swears allegiance to the king. There will never be too many of him who continue to abandon his family and career and work hard.
It was with Terenas' full support that Turalyon and the others led an army to kill the Black Gate, and a good fight at the gate completely killed the most craziest and bloodthirsty Burning Blade clan.
At that time, it was difficult for the orcs to form an effective joint force. Ner'zhul, who had the best chance to regroup and stabilize his position, had no intention of fighting, nor was he willing to add his core team to the melting pot of war for other clans.
You know, most of his core team are shamans and priests, who are top-notch in deceiving others and working hard, and they can barely act as spellcasters, but there are not enough cannon fodder in front of them. The knife hit each other face to face.
There is an old saying in the East that says,
The general is the courage of the three armies.
Ner'zhul's cowardice at the critical moment, the orcs were really forced to the end of the road.
Of course, Turayang and the others failed to have the last laugh. Because Illidan? Stormrage came with naga and blood elves (Age of the Frozen Throne).
Speaking of returning to Azeroth, counting the successive kings of various countries and races, you will find that Azeroth, a fairy pit, cannot raise a waste king. If Terenas was incompetent, he would have been replaced long ago.
The stupidity shown by the original history line is caused by many reasons.
The orcs are making trouble, the wounds of the human-animal war have not yet healed, there are monsters and bandits everywhere, the living conditions of the people are very bad, and the most basic security, food and clothing are difficult to solve.
There is also the disadvantage of the feudal system. The feudal nobles all have independent judicial power. If they cover up or don't cooperate, then the problem will be easily covered up.
In general, Terenas was facing a vicious circle at that time, and he was indeed old and lacking in energy.
But as a king, Terenas is generally competent. It was because the Lich King was too sharp. With the father of the Burning Legion giving the switch, Northrend had been farming for ten years, and the time to invade the Eastern Continent was just right. Not only in the economy, but also in the military, such as those who can fight, there are problems such as inadequacy.
With Kane's arrival, after the Second Human-Beast War, the alliance's situation quickly improved, the economy accelerated, and even some of the pent-up ills in the past were eliminated. Such as bandits, kobolds, jackals and other monsters.
Since the 18th year of the World of Warcraft calendar, there has been no market for bandits and wandering wizards in the Northland. After leaving so many profitable projects, they have to rob their homes and then have their heads taken for meritorious service. Most people can't do such a deadly thing.
When the situation improves, the aristocracy will benefit the most.
Their reverence for the royal power is increasing day by day, and their complaints and complaints, and even the gradually growing disobedience, have turned into obedience and flattery again.
Even if some lords are still rebellious, there are many so-called "people with lofty ideals" who are loyal to the country and love peace under their command. As long as they have a head, people will rarely choose to rebel even if it is difficult at the moment. No matter how unruly the lord is, he will most likely have to lie on the ground.
So in today's alliance, in today's Northland, in today's Kingdom of Lordaeron, there are still quite a few people who did their best before the King's reign. Naturally, intelligence work is also included.
What happened in Andorhal last night, Terenas knew when he had breakfast.
After thinking for a while, he sent a flying letter to the Knights of the Silver Hand: Demons have invaded, and the dead are resurrected.
This reason is enough to invite the Knights of the Silver Hand.
After that, he sent a letter of thanks to Falken Kingdom and Grand Duke Hessgreen.
Seeing the distress signal, leading the army to help, this is to thank.
More importantly, aside from the undead thing, Terenas is not ignorant of warlocks and fel spells, dark spells, and necromancers. He knows the seriousness of the situation.
So Uther led people to the front line, and at this time, there were two paths before Alsace, as a paladin, follow Uther to handle affairs. Or participate in events in the name of the prince.
In fact, apart from being high-ranking, the prince doesn't have much real power.
The imperial envoy is a relatively powerful position, and he represents the king. Alsace can now choose to complete this leap, of course this is somewhat against the rules, but with the current situation, I believe people will choose to ignore this point.
After some consideration, he chose this leap.
Do it first, and then make up the ticket. For this reason, Alsace wrote a letter to Terenas sincerely. Rough meaning: Time waits for no one, and in the name of the Wang family, the evacuation of the people in the place where the incident occurred can be arranged in a legitimate manner.
As soon as Uther and others arrived, Salerian asked Alsace to resign. The Falcon Cavalry is part of the Kingdom of Falcon. Although it is an ally, it is another country after all.
Continuing to fight requires an explicit invitation from the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
Arthas, on behalf of his father, and the Kingdom of Lordaeron, once again thanked the Falcon Cavalry for their emergency assistance.
Arthas didn't want to owe too much favor, and he was very confident in himself, believing that Lordaeron was capable of handling the 'housework' well.
So it became the three-party coalition army, the kingdom army, the largest landowner army at the place where the incident happened, and the Knights of the Silver Hand.
It all seemed orderly and orderly. The situation is quite different from the original historical line.
The Knights of the Silver Hand, where Uther was in the original historical line, was raised by the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and did not have such a relatively detached status as it is now.
At that time Hearthglen was attacked, Arthas sent Jaina for help, and the Knights of the Silver Hand arrived. The slogan of the charge was: For the king, for Lordaeron.
It won't be shouting like that now, the Knights of the Silver Hand have a written agreement with the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Members of the Knights recognize that they belong to the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but the knights are first and foremost defenders of the faith of the Holy Light, they are cathars, and then they are soldiers of the kingdom.
Therefore, Alsace could not remove Uther's power in the name of the king in a fit of anger like the original historical line.
Of course, there is no need to be so reckless.
Another reason for doing this at the beginning was that the Kingdom of Lordaeron did not have much combat power, and the internal division of the army was not clear enough. The Knights of the Silver Hand were mixed with ordinary soldiers, and Uther and other high-level paladins were also members of the army. commander.
Now it is clear that the military system established by Kane has inevitably affected other countries. The armed forces of various countries are more professional and have more professional soldiers.
The Kingdom of Lordaeron now has the Royal Knights, including heavy cavalry, hussars, and royal guards. At the same time, there is also the Royal Army, or the border guards.
In addition, the Kingdom of Lordaeron also has a mobile force called the Silver Eagle Army.
The battle flag of the Kingdom of Lordaeron is very abstract. Most people can only understand the long vertical part that looks like a sword or a scepter, and the three parts on the side that look like shrunken scepters or daggers, representing the royal family and the three sides of the kingdom. Grand Duke. The rest of the anchor and sextant structures are not well understood.
However, people understand the double-headed eagle, the national emblem of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the Tirisfal Glades, and the Darrow region very well.
These two areas are the traditional territories of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and they are also the most well-developed and richest places.
At the beginning, Emperor Thoradin established the country with a tolerant attitude. He combined strength and softness, and conquered various human tribes one by one, but allowed them to maintain their own cultural customs, traditions, and even the formation of the army. The leaders and most of the members of the various human tribes admired Thoradin's strength and mind, and were willing to unite more closely around him to create a better tomorrow, so the tribal era ended and entered the kingdom period, and Thoradin proclaimed himself emperor.
In fact, Thoradin's title of "Emperor" is somewhat reluctant, or in other words, it is the reputation given to him by later generations for his contribution to the unification of the various races.
Anyway, in Kane's mind, Qin Shihuang's "books with the same text, and cars with the same track" can only become emperors through cultural integration.
And someone like Thoradin is actually a more powerful chieftain.
Sure enough, people changed their minds later, and the Seven Kingdoms were established one after another.
The Kingdom of Lordaeron was established by two ancient families, one of which declined later, and finally surrendered to the other in a relatively peaceful manner. This is another origin of the double-headed eagle emblem.
The family that has fallen is called Nitero, Duke of Darrow.
Although he is a duke, the family has lost its glory, leaving only the Shuanghu area as its territory. The core city is Colin City (town), which is just north of the west of Tyre's Hand.
The piece of land in Tyre's hand was originally owned by the Netero family. It is the only area in this area suitable for building a port, and the value of the land can be imagined.
Therefore, many people think that Terenas allocated it to the Knights of the Silver Hand for use, and there is something to be said here. Some people even stated bluntly that the royal family of Menethil did not want to give the Netero family a chance to rise again, so they did so.
Perhaps Terenas used the strategy of slapping and giving a sweet date. The Supreme Commander of the Silver Eagle Army is a member of the Nitero family, who is also stationed in Colin City, as compensation.
The family also knew that the supplies were in the hands of the royal family, and they couldn't afford to turn the tide. But it's not easy to complain. Who let himself fail to live up to the family business left by his ancestors?
Now that there is the Silver Eagle Army, it can be regarded as deterring the surrounding area and stopping the decline. The people of this family plan to gradually regain their reputation and strength through the efforts of several generations.
Because of this, the Netero family can be said to hold tightly to the thighs of the royal family of Lordaeron, and at the same time try to build a good relationship with the Silver Hand.
Port Fao really made the Netero family jealous, but instead of thinking about what they didn't have, it's better to think about how to get more benefits from it. Whether going west or north, the supplies coming out of Port Fao have to pass through Colin City, and vice versa. Therefore, the prosperity of Fao Port is also very beneficial to Colin City.
This time, Terenas had only a document, and Ron Nitro led the Silver Eagle Army and rushed to join Alsace and Uther. And deliberately brought a lot of people.
Alsace and Uther are very satisfied. The former felt that he finally had an army he could command. The latter felt that the other party had done their best this time. At the same time, he let out a sigh of relief.
At this time of employing people, most of the power of the Silver Hand is making money to fight monsters in the Kingdom of Stormwind. Then a reliable fighting force is very necessary.
The Silver Eagle Army is not bad, at least with high mobility, and most of the soldiers are new generations who have completed all training subjects. Although they have never seen blood, they are also very malleable. With the guidance of veterans from the Silver Hand Knights, I believe they will soon Can become an excellent team with a tenacious style.
In this way, the army of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the undead Scourge began a formal contest.
