11. The Decision of the Forgotten Kings (II)

Although Shadow and Luminas had good reasons, and despite the good manners of their speeches, it was almost impossible to find a point of entry for rebuttal, even though they both stated that their starting point was for the sake of peace between Darkblade and the Federation.

But this can't hide the attitude of the two to the "Mercatok robbery"... Regardless of the well-prepared, high-sounding reasons, these two guys have a simple starting point, they just want to avenge the people they care about... However, they have adopted a very "clever" way to put a veneer of grandeur on revenge, packaging it as a "righteous action".

It has to be said that after Tyrion personally reformed the system based on war tendencies before the Dark Blade, the lords in the new system also quickly learned a new "way of fighting", which seemed more civilized and fair, but in fact, the secret game between the constraints of the parliamentary system and the "freedom" that the commander longed for became more dangerous.

Due to the responsibility of the Civilization Inspectors, they cannot forcefully demand that the lords accept their rulings on the "harmlessness" of human civilization when it comes to "threats", especially for lords with extremely aggressive personalities like Luminas, who are more likely to be able to launch a hearty "punishment" war according to their own ideas after being provoked by their opponents.

The army, whether it is alive or dead, it is a wild and untamable violent machine, after realizing its own power, it will always subconsciously yearn for more freedom and power, but this is dangerous for any civilization... Military involvement in politics does not bode well at any time.

In other words, the Forgotten Kings want to avoid wars, or at least pointless wars, to allow more time for good civilizations to develop, but once the lords' proposals are approved, a partial "punishment" war is likely to turn into a completely renewed war between the two sides.

With the current comparison of the strength of the two sides... Unless humans can tie the Night Elves and Orcs to their chariots before the war begins, once the war starts... The demise of human civilization is only a matter of time.

And on this issue, there is nothing wrong with either side, you can't accuse the soldiers of the Dark Blade of ignorance ...

The mission of the military is to fight, to win the war, to give a savage and heavy counterattack after the enemy's provocation, and as for the world situation, the superiority of civilization, and the politics of peace, these are not factors that they need to consider.

At the interrogation meeting in the Great Chamber, the shadow's voice fell, and everyone's attention was on Daline, Magni, and Thorrisson, whose judgment of Arthas's sword in his hand was likely to dictate the course of the inquiry.

And in front of everyone's eyes, once the unjust rulings made by the forgotten kings, it will directly affect the credibility of the entire Dark Blade, and even the entire federal government... Tyrion, who single-handedly built the system, would not allow this to happen, and once the kings lose their credibility, the outcome of this inquiry is likely to evolve into a "jury" vote in the Federal Assembly and the top of the Blade.

As things stand, once the big vote begins... Then the proposal to punish the war is equivalent to having been passed, and this is a future that the kings cannot accept, so they must maintain absolute justice.

And under this faint pressure, the first to speak was Dai Lin.

The Admiral glanced at the shadows and Luminas below with his ice-blue eyes, and he stood up and said in an indifferent tone:

"Pale justice... It is a Holy Light Sword, and from my personal experience, this sword is devastating to the undead under any lord level, and it is also very lethal to the unprepared Death Lord, so my opinion is... Given the near-infinite power of holy light that this sword can unleash in a short period of time when swung at it, it is truly a threat..."

As soon as Dai Lin's words fell, Lord Luminas asked reluctantly:

"Please answer our questions head-on, Your Majesty Dai Lin... Can this sword affect a local war? For example, if this sword appeared in the previous Northern Frontier Campaign and was held by a paladin at the level of Grand Knight, would it change the outcome of the Northern Frontier Battle? ”

This question made Dai Lin's face look a little ugly, but after a few seconds, he nodded cautiously:

"If the Holy Sword is wielded by a paladin at the level of a Grand Knight, then in some cases, he will indeed have the ability to influence Tyrion to fight with Lothar, and in the most extreme case, the Human Emperor is likely to survive this, but I don't think the outcome of the Battle of the Northern Frontier will change, and the Dark Blade will still be victorious, the only difference is that Lothar survives."

"Just?"

The shadow coincided with the actual comment:

"Whether Lothar survives or not is the difference between heaven and earth for the current human civilization, Your Majesty Dai Lin, I think your answer should be more rational, just like you advised us not to be disturbed by personal factors, what I want to say is, please also rule out the influence of Lady Gianna on you..."

"Click"

These merciless words made Dai Lin's fist let out a crisp thump, but after a moment, Dai Lin closed his eyes, and in front of all the observers, he nodded:

"Yes, pale justice will affect the trend of the local war between the dark blade and the human race, this is my judgment."

With that, the expressionless Dai Lin sat down in his chair and began to close his eyes to recuperate, but his judgment was enough, and behind Shadow and Luminas, the necromantic and human councillors in the audience had begun a whispering discussion.

After all, this is a topic that is closely related to them.

Shadow and Luminas glanced at each other, both seeing the excitement in their eyes, and then, Shadow turned her gaze to the two Dwarven Forge Grandmasters, and she coughed lightly:

"So, Your Majesty Magni, Your Majesty Thorrison, both of you are the outstanding Grandmasters of Azeroth, and with your understanding of legendary weapons, do you think this holy sword is replicable?"

The sound of the shadow silenced the entire chamber, and the eyes of dozens of people were fixed on the two dwarves, Magni wanted to stand up and deny the dangerous question, but his own responsibility and position prevented him from doing so, and the same was true of the Black Iron Emperor Thorrison, who had joined the Forgotten Kings to protect his wife and children, and once he lost this seat, he could no longer protect them.

So, after a brief exchange between the two dwarves, Magni replied with a cautious face:

"According to our speculation and the information gathered so far, the unique holy sword of Pale Justice was forged from the ancestral curiosity of the Draenei, the fragment of the Radiant Dawn in the Atama Crystal, and I myself have forged a legendary weapon, which I can vouch for by my surname, such a legendary weapon cannot be copied without the most important raw material!"

"Good."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Shadow's mouth, and she looked at Magni:

"So, could you please tell the bystanders behind me, how many Atama Crystals are there for the Draenei?"

"Smack"

Magni clenched his fists, but eventually gritted his teeth and replied:

"Seven pieces."

"Wow"

This answer made the eyes of everyone present widen, and then more whispering voices, one holy sword is enough to affect the local war between the two sides, so what if the human empire has 7 holy swords?

"Look! That's what we want to say. ”

The shadow shrugged:

"The Human Empire has mastered the ability to craft the Atama Crystal into a dangerous legendary weapon, and once the Draenei begin to support the Human Empire, it means that we will face a very dire situation in the near future... Our soldiers will not be able to defend themselves, and even the Lords of Death will suffer a terrible assassination, and in the most extreme case, according to the pattern of this rescue operation of the Human Empire, once they send dangerous assassins armed with holy swords to infiltrate the Federation... Who else can stand in their way? ”

Luminas answered, fearing that the world would not be chaotic:

"Every Death Lord will be their target, like Myra, the governor of the Black Iron District. Dawnblade, even the Lord of Tyrion himself, or members of the Forgotten Kings, or even the Speaker of the Federation, important councillors... It is not a terrible speculation that the Empire of Man will subvert our order with a dastardly assassination, and they have done it, ladies and gentlemen! ”

"Enough! Lumy! Although there are 7 Atama Crystals, the Radiant Stars have already been used, and Tyrion's Ash Bringer is made of this crystal, and the Shadow of the Leaves in the crystal has always been kept in the hands of the Darkblade Legion! ”

The Blood Lord, who had not spoken, waved her fingers, and a grass-green crystal appeared in her hand, which was one of the Atama Crystals that Viren used to trade with the Dark Blade, she stared at Luminas with indifferent eyes, and then said in a deep voice:

So don't exaggerate this boring panic! I'm sure you guys at the Darkblade Intelligence Agency can guarantee that this won't happen, right? Shadow Deputy Director? ”

Faced with the Blood Lord's questioning, Shadow glared at Lord Luminas beside her with some annoyance, this crazy woman almost ruined the situation she had worked so hard to create with a single sentence.

But she still calmly replied:

"Yes! Ladies and gentlemen, the Darkblade Intelligence Bureau is doing its best to ensure order and stability within the Federation, but Lord Luminas's speculation is not unreasonable, and we must be prepared in advance for dangerous things... Find, contain, and protect, that's why we're proposing to restart the civilization ruling... Once the threat is identified, we will begin to collect these weapons that could be exploited by the enemy. ”

"Protect every citizen of the Federation, protect every brother of the Darkblade!"

The shadow's voice was sonorous, and she said loudly:

"We must face up to this threat! Humanity is ready to wage a despicable assassination war, and I can understand that this is a necessary defense for a weak civilization against a strong civilization, but we must give it a strong response! ”

"This concludes my statement."

"Bang"

The adjudicator of the Dark Blade Judge Advocate General's Office waved his gavel and announced in a calm voice:

"The court is now adjourned, and in 10 minutes, the Council of Forgotten Kings will answer this proposal!"

In the midst of the uproar, the five Forgotten Kings rose and left the hall, while the Shadow leaned back in her seat in a comfortable manner, turned her head slightly, and said to Luminas:

"You can ventilate with the other lords... As for the war goals and war mobilization, although you have caused me a little trouble, but... We've won! Those humans have to pay the price... I'm not going to allow them to hurt us and get away with it..."

"Blood debt... Must be paid in blood! ”

A grim smile appeared on Luminas' face, but she was a little uneasy, and she asked in a whisper:

"Won't this anger Tyrion? You know, he doesn't want to start a war at this time..."

"No!"

The shadow said conclusively:

"The Great Lord has more important things to do, and he will not find time to pay attention to these little things for at least the next three months, and that the order we have established with him has not crossed the line to win us a chance for revenge, and he will not reprimand, but will feel very gratified... Rest assured, Lumi, there is no one who knows him better than I do except Mistress Aurelia. ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Ten minutes later, on behalf of the Council of the Forgotten Kings and Tyrion. The Blood Mistress in attendance by the Dawnblade stood on the platform on the second floor of the conference hall, holding a short scroll in her hand, she glanced at the people below, and then read aloud:

"With the powers given to me by the Legion of the Darkblades, the Council of the Forgotten Kings, and the Supreme Council of the Federation of Defia, I hereby give my final answer to the proposal to "revive the Civilized Rule"! ”

"Bang"

With the beating of the gavel, everyone stood up in unison.

"The proposal from the Darkblade Intelligence Agency and the Lords of Death to reinstate the ruling on human civilization... Don't pass! ”

"The Grimblade Intelligence Bureau and the Lords of Death's offer of "punishing" war and the threat of the Holy Sword... Pass! The initiation and objectives of the War of Punishment will be discussed by the War Council of the Lords of Death under the supervision of the Forgotten Kings. The Scar Lord and his Hellfire Warband are not fit to be commanders and participants in the Punishment War! ”

"The Darkblade Intelligence Bureau raised a response to the "Gerbin. The memorial of the Darkblade operatives killed and wounded in the "MercatΓ³k Robbery", and by extension, the proposal for "revenge" for the Human Empire's provocation against the Federal Order... Pass! ”

Aurelia shook her head slightly, put away the scroll in her hand, and then looked at the shadow below, she whispered:

"This operation is under the sole responsibility of the Darkblade Intelligence Service, and no terrorist attacks of any kind are to be carried out against the civilians of the Human Empire... Lord Tyrion of the Darkblade. Dawnblade gave his opinion on this 5 minutes ago, and he hoped that the Darkblade Intelligence Agency would follow his advice when it came to retaliation. ”

"He said... War in the dark is in the dark, don't get involved in the world under the sun, and war and counterattack are a part of civilization that cannot be ignored, but for the sake of anger and senseless slaughter... No! ”
