10. The Decision of the Forgotten Kings (I)

Stormwind, formerly Church Square, above Tyrion's Soul Chamber, a council office building with pure white stone pillars and boxy eaves and large blocks of marble slabs has been completed.

The building is very different from the architectural style of Azeroth, and from the outside, the office building can give the impression of simplicity and atmosphere, and inside the building, the history of the federal civilization from scratch is written with large frescoes, including a mural of the parliamentarians giving impassioned speeches in the crowd.

The name of the mural is "Awakening", and although the civilians who have seen it say that they do not see the meaning, it is a very appropriate and deeply touching name for those lawmakers who have single-handedly created the situation in the Federation.

Of course, the offices of the Federal Parliament are still in the former pavilion of the King's Fortress in the old town, which is more often used for the meetings of the major associations of the Federation, and there are three open days every month for the commoners with their children to tour and give the children a taste of the daily work of the officials.

In the civilization of the Federation, the daily life of the upper authorities is no longer mysterious, and the House of Commons has to elect new members every 4 years, this alternation of power is full of satisfaction of every citizen's enthusiasm for social affairs, of course, there is also the desire for power that everyone has, generally speaking, as long as you are a decent person in your own town, and you get along well with other citizens in daily life, and have a certain prestige, then it is easy to become a member of the regional council.

As Speaker Edwin and Lord Darkblade once discussed, the idea of involving citizens in the management of civilization has been gradually realized, even though the system is still improving itself.

When the people are truly aware of the interrelationship between themselves and the polity, they also realize the true meaning of "liberty and equality", and then those who want to take these things away from the citizens will be regarded as enemies of the world... It's complicated to say, but under the federal system, it's easy to appreciate if you're willing to accept new ideas.

Today, however, the presence of heavily armed undead guards and death knights patrolling back and forth outside the Great Council was a rare sight that indicated that something had happened.

That's something that some citizens don't know and shouldn't know, but it's obviously important.

——————————————————————————————

Dressed in a formal uniform, the shadow sat quietly in her seat, and beside her, was the Death Lord Luminas in military uniform, this usually crazy lord was covered with frost today, obviously, she must be in a bad mood.

And the shadow is not necessarily in a good mood, her black uniform is attached to the bumpy body, making her look a little more feminine, but she still wears her white mask on her face, and under the uniform, her right hand hangs abnormally low, which is the trace of the injury that has not healed during the hunt 2 days ago.

Behind the two people sitting side by side were full of observers from inside the Dark Blade and from the Federal Assembly, and it was clear that many people in the Federation civilization were watching the storm that was brewing.

In front of the auditorium, there was the recording seat, and the recorder from the Darkblade Judge Advocate was already seated, it was three indifferent high-ranking knights, two women, and a man, all wearing the special uniform of the Ministry of Justice, and wearing the emblem of a black sword on their chests, which meant that they had the military and civil rights granted by the Darkblade Legion.

In other words, this should be three undead judges.

But they are not the protagonists of today, above the recording seat, there is a two-story platform made of white marble, on which are placed 9 stone seats, above which are the symbols of different kingdoms of the old era, representing the Darkblade, the Stormwind Kingdom, the Kazmodan Dwarven Kingdom, the Dark Furnace Black Iron Kingdom, the Stormgard Kingdom, the Gilneth Kingdom, the Lordaeron Kingdom, the Kurtilas Kingdom, and the High Elf Kingdom of Quel'Thalas.

This is for the members of the Forgotten Kings.

Around this hall, there are military police knights from the Dark Blade Judge Advocate General's Department, these knights who are the most ruthless in the Dark Blade Legion, and who attach the most importance to law and system are selected, indifference and calm are their expressions, system respect is their creed, and iron-faced ruthlessness is their symbol, and the scenes where these guys appear are often related to the word "trial".

But today, the Darkblade Judge Advocate is here, just as a recorder and maintainer, and the topic of today's meeting is the proposal of "restarting the human civilization ruling" jointly put forward by Lady Shadow, a Level 9 agent and deputy director of the Darkblade Intelligence Agency, and Lord Luminus, the commander of the Hellfire Band, which is obviously inseparable from the "Mr. X" robbery that happened two days ago.

It stands to reason that with the position of Shadow and Luminus in the Darkblade system, their proposal is not enough to make the Forgotten Kings present, but the problem is that the human rescuers have made too much noise, and they have seriously injured Myrah, the governor of the Black Iron District. Dawnblade, which also killed dozens of agents in the system.

On top of that, at the end of the event, the human king Arthas, armed with the holy sword "Pale Justice", repelled the pursuit of the Admiral Commander of the Darkblade Navy, Darein, which was the first time that the Darkblade suffered such a sharp counterattack from the Human Empire, which successfully attracted the attention of the other Death Lords, and most of the Death Lords signed the proposal to reopen the ruling under the well-timed tandem of Luminas.

And the combined power of these lords who directly control the army directly alarmed the Forgotten Kings, and they also succeeded in causing today's meeting.

Shadow and Luminas' anger is understandable, both of them have nearly lost their most important love and sister, and even more unbearable, the majesty of the Grimblade Legion, which is far superior to the Empire, has been damaged by a sharp counterattack from the Empire, and they and the other Lords of Death believe that the Empire of Humanity must be taught a lesson in this matter.

To put it simply, it is like the Battle of the Northern Frontier, beating them up severely, and in this way telling them who is the boss of the world of Azeroth.

"Bell"

The low bell rang, and everyone in the hall stood up in unison, and as they watched, the members of the Council of the Forgotten Kings slowly walked into the chamber and took their seats on the second floor.

Of course, not all of the Forgotten Kings have arrived, representing Berval of the Stormwind Kingdom. Sir Vortagen is on a civilization overseer mission in Kalimdor, and the Great Lich of the Sunstrider on behalf of Quel'Thalas has made it clear that he is not interested in these and that he has a good reason to be absent, and in a few days, he will also travel to Kalimdor to supervise the High Elf civilization.

And King Greymane of Gilneth has not yet joined the Forgotten Kings, representing Danas of the Kingdom of Stormgard. Torbain was exiled to Northrend, and in short, there were only five Forgotten Kings who actually participated in the meeting:

Representing Tyrion, who is busy with other matters. Aurelia, the Blood Hostess of Dawnblade present.

King Terenus of Lordaeron.

Daileen of Kul Tiras.

Magni of Ironforge. Copper whiskers.

Dagran of the Darkhearth. Thorrisen.

Although they are small in number, they represent the prestige of the Council of the Forgotten Kings, and no one dares to underestimate them, and after several changes to the Blade's system, the Council of the Forgotten Kings has become an important part of the upper echelons of the system, just like the Supreme Council of the Federation civilization.

Even theoretically, Tyrion. The power of the Dawn Blade is also subject to the jurisdiction of the Council of the Forgotten Kings, of course, in fact, Tyrion still has absolute control over the Dark Blade, but for Tyrion who is currently busy with another major matter, he has no time to participate in the day-to-day affairs of the Council of the Forgotten Kings.

In terms of his character, in most cases, he would not oppose the council he had single-handedly established.

After the kings were seated, one of the High Elf Death Knights, the adjudicator of the Darkblade Judge Advocate General, coughed lightly and picked up the manuscript at hand, her hoarse voice beginning to echo through the chamber:

"With the powers conferred on me by the Supreme Council of the Federation and the Darkblade Judge Advocate General, I now announce that the final discussion on the proposal of the Darkblade Intelligence Agency and the six Lords of Death to "restart the ruling on human civilization" begins now! ”

"Bell"

Another low bell rang, and Lord Luminas, whose face was covered with frost, glanced at the shadow beside her, nodded at her, and then straightened her mighty uniform, and she stood up in her seat, and looked directly at the kings with different expressions on the second floor, and she said in a deep voice:

"Compiled by the Ministry of Judge Advocate General, about Gerbin. The information on the Mecatok robbery has been distributed to you, and I believe that all of you, as the overseers of civilization, should have read the dossier in its entirety, and I do not want to question the ruling of the overseers of civilization on the human empire, but I think that after the robbery, we should re-examine the civilization on the other side of the Endless Sea. ”

Luminas's speech was obviously taught by a master, with clear words and clear logic, and even her voice was full of a subdued tone:

"I don't deny that the Human Empire has recently shown the potential of a good civilization, and in fact, I'm in favor of giving them more time to develop, but I would say that this is not a reason to ignore the growing threat of the Human Empire..."

"Lord Luminas, I don't think the Human Empire is a threat to us."

The words of Luminas were sat at the head of Magni. Brass whiskers interrupted, the king of Ironforge, who had hated Tyrion and the necromancy, began to devote himself to studying the responsibilities of the Overseer of Civilization after joining the Council of the Forgotten Kings, not that the dwarf suddenly got his senses, but that Magni was keenly aware of the transformation within the Darkblade, and he was happy to see this terrifying war machine being haunted by Tyrion's own gloves, and he was happy to take the reins of the Darkblade from Tyrion.

To this end, he was even willing to bow down to the system, and took the initiative to join it, swearing eternal justice before his fellow companions.

The dwarven king touched his neatly groomed beard, and he looked at his colleague, and he said in a deep voice:

"The Council of the Forgotten Kings' ruling on human civilization has ended, and the next ruling will begin in 3 years, which is the result of all the discussions of the Forgotten Kings, why should it be 3 years on a regular basis? And not 5 years, 10 years? ”

Magni stared at Luminas below with a calm gaze, and he said word by word:

"Because of the information we have gathered from all sides, after the most rational thinking and discussion, we can definitely conclude that in the next 3 years, the human empire will not have the ability to launch a cross-sea war! Humanity, busy rebuilding civilization, does not threaten us! ”

Luminas tried to refute something, but after Magni had finished speaking, King Terenus, who was sitting precariously, also spoke:

"The data doesn't lie, my lord, maybe you should calm down and not get carried away by personal emotions, we also feel sorry for what happened to Lord Myra, but that's not a reason for us to go to war! Any war requires careful thinking. ”

"I'm calm!"

Luminas' hands gripped the wooden railing in front of her, and there were already signs of freezing on the railing, which fully proved that Luminas was not as calm as she appeared, and her eyes became aggressive, and in her blood-red eyes, a touch of anxiety began to brew, and even the dangerous energy in her body began to fluctuate slightly.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the shadow, who had not spoken, suddenly reached out and pressed Luminas on the wrist, forcing her back into her chair, and then the deputy director of the intelligence bureau stood up and took Luminas's speech in a very calm tone.

"We are not questioning the judgment of the Civilization Overseers, in fact, based on the information gathered by the Darkblade Intelligence Agency, we also believe that within 3 years the Human Empire will not be able to return to the level it was at its peak, and I believe that the "threat" that Lord Luminas speaks of is worth the other hand, which is the most important reason why we propose to reopen the Civilization Rule. ”

The shadow gestured, and a document was sent to the Forgotten Kings, and while they flipped through the documents, the shadow's voice sounded again, and her eyes were on Dai Lin, who had not spoken:

"About the holy sword in the hands of the human king Arthas... They call it "Pale Justice," a dangerous legendary weapon that, in a way, is enough to change the local balance of power between the two sides. ”

"I believe that His Majesty Dai Lin, who has personally experienced the power of that weapon, and His Majesty Magni and His Majesty Sorison, who have studied legendary weapons the most, will also agree with our opinion about that sword."

Luminas, who had calmed down, also spoke:

"No one will let a sword unparalleled in the world be dusted, and the appearance of pale justice means that the human empire is probably ready to launch a new model, despicable, local war, or even worse asymmetrical assassination war! We believe that Darkblade must respond to this! ”
