Chapter 791: Revealed
Only time can tell if it's right or wrong. Patrick has always believed in this.
If Patrick were asked to purify Stratholme, Patrick would use a similar method. It must be the first to gather a large number of paladins, concentrate the inhabitants one by one to use cleansing techniques to purify the plague, and then guide the crowd away, as for the undead, there is no one left.
Of course, considering that there are only so many paladins in Lordaeron, Stratholme estimates that a large number of people will still die from the plague, and with a single Malganis who is a hindrance, there will not be many residents who can be saved. However, compared to Arthas who wiped out Stratholme, Patrick's method was able to save some people.
"I know you love Arthas, even if Arthas doesn't want to carry the weight of the crown, you love him, and I'm sure you would have been married by now if it weren't for Stratholme's differences." Patrick's tone changed: "But you don't know Arthas, did you really think about it when you decided to leave?" ”
"I don't think you did. Unlike Uther, the Lightbringer is the leader of the Silver Knights, and he hasn't met Kel'thugad or Malganis, so it's understandable that he misjudged. But you have always been with Arthas, you know everything that has happened, but your Madonna heart makes you unbearable to see the people of Stratholme slaughtered, and you are not even willing to think of a way, so you just abandon Arthas. ”
"Can we avoid tragedy by leaving? Isolated and unsupported, Arthas is burdened with a blood feud, and in the end, he can only pursue power and embark on a path of revenge at all costs. After pulling out the Frost Grief, Arthas was dead, and he had become a puppet in the hands of the Lich King. ”
These words are also heart-wrenching words, and what happened to Alsace is the nightmare of Gianna's life. In fact, in terms of Arthas's character, he doesn't want to be the crown prince, his personality belongs to the type that is very plain and easy-going, when Gianna and Arthas tried the forbidden fruit, Gianna's joke: "Our children must also be blonde." Frightened, Arthas gave Gianna a good guy card.
Moreover, when Arthas struck Marganis and returned to Lordaeron, the first thing King Terenus said when he saw Arthas was: "My child, I have arranged everything, and you will not have to bear the weight of the crown anymore." "It shows that Terenus also knew Arthas's intentions, and knew that he had no intention of taking the throne at all.
"That's what makes you different from Alsace. He needs to get justice for his people, and although the future is uncertain, he has an enemy; And you, again and again, escaped to Kalimdor? You're not going to take part in the Battle of Mount Hyjal yet. ”
Gianna thought about what happened to Arthas, but that responsibility was also a secondary cause, not the main cause of Artace's fall, but when Patrick said this, Gianna's way of thinking was shaken.
Patrick: "Let me tell you, if Arthas decides to purify all the undead, 6 to 7 percent of the population of the entire province of Miradar will die, and all the people in the province of Daronmir will probably die except for the Valley of the Hearth. But in exchange, it is a devastated kingdom of Lordaeron, not only those remnants of Lordaeron who are left with the Scarlet Crusaders and the Silver Dawn, struggling in the plague land, and the new Faaron City of the Hand of Tyr will not even have enough people to grow food. ”
"Kel'thugad can't be resurrected at the Sunwell, and he won't run to Dalaran to summon Akmund, and then let Akmund destroy Dalaran with his hand. Now, do you still feel that you are completely free of responsibility? ”
These words, not to mention the heart, are simply soul-destroying, and Gianna's self-consolation is not even scum.
When the City of Sunlight was first established, Patrick had been thinking about his future plans, and whether he could save the kingdom of Lordaeron or Alsace into Quel'Thalas. In fact, with Patrick's strength at that time, it was completely feasible to use Daylight City to fight a protracted war with the Scourge Legion, and Patrick was confident that he would hold back the Scourge Legion and make the entire kingdom begin to pay attention to these invaders.
What bothers Patrick is the internal affairs of Quel'Salas, he is at odds with the four members of the Parliament, the old fox of the Dawn Blade is also superficially peaceful, the royal family will definitely not participate in the internal fighting of the Parliament, and Anastarian has always been in a state of neutrality.
Patrick is a little helpless about the four major families of the parliament who are dragging his feet, if they are openly opposed, I am afraid that it will cause a civil war, then the royal family will definitely stand on his side, and Patrick himself will become a traitor to Quel'Salas. Patrick doesn't want the Sunstriders to die, at least three generations of Sunseeker kings are competent, aren't they?
If they didn't deal with the four families, they would be in operation for many years in Quel'Thalas, and Patrick's orders would be of no use other than to command the City of Daylight and the Windrunners. Besides, did Senniol give Patrick less of a stumbling block?
The strength of the legend is meaningless, it can only protect one side, and it can only protect itself in front of Akmund. As far as Patrick's men are concerned, they are not strong enough to go out and participate in an ordinary battle, let alone a large-scale battle like the Battle of Hyjal, which requires the union of the three races.
In addition, since the Scourge Legion has appeared, but it has not yet become a climate, the demons of the Burning Legion have begun to gradually infiltrate Azeroth. Considering that after the arrival of Akmund, as long as the sunwell is intact, it will inevitably go north to Quel'Thalas, so Patrick finally decided to let Arthas attack Silvermoon City and get rid of the five families of the Council.
Of course, if Patrick had known everything about himself and Elune, then Patrick would not have been so stable and used so many "superfluous" means.
Gianna couldn't answer Patrick's question, but how could she agree with Patrick's thoughts: "How many lives have died at your hands, the High Elves in Violet Castle, so many of your own people, what mercy do you have, you are not an executioner?" ”
Patrick smiled: "Actually, I don't want to do anything to deal with Dalaran, sooner or later, Dalaran will either be destroyed by the hands of the alliance or the tribe, and I will do it to them, just because they are wantonly destroying the magic net and trying to attack the Blue Dragon King Malygos." ”
"Ridiculous." Gianna let out a big joke: "Varian has always supported Dalaran, at least, when Kenrito was in the Northern Expedition, the Alliance gave a lot of supplies for free, and Dalaran has always been in a close alliance with the Alliance. ”
