Capuchin Three: Farewell, Azerahi (middle)
The atmosphere, from the moment you enter the large conference room of the Chapel of the Light's Wish, is a little wrong.
Since the temporary union in response to the crisis of Naxxramas, the relationship between the Scarlet Crusaders and the Silver Dawn, which originally shared the same roots, has improved slightly.
After all, before this, the two sides were also comrades-in-arms who fought together, and although it was a little inappropriate to use the four iron gods and horses here, it was also reasonable, and more importantly, when the goals of the two sides reached an agreement, and they had a common historical inheritance and mission, it seemed that it had become a doomed result to be achieved after a long time.
But now, the atmosphere that should have been harmonious has become tense again because of someone who has inserted it into it.
"Blindly and passively resisting the attack of the undead natural disaster, the result can only be that our strength is consumed by the endless undead, so we must take the initiative to counterattack, and it is imperative to fight the Northern Expedition!"
Bridget? Abydis's voice was sonorous and reverberated through the empty church halls.
The people who participated in this meeting, including the Scarlet High Lord Tyran? Fordin, Marlan, the commander of the Scarlet Crusaders, and Tirio, the leader of the Silver Dawn? Fordin, Deputy Leader Maxwell? Baron Tyrosos, representative of the Brotherhood of Light Erigor? Angela, the Dawnbringer, the Grand Magician of the Kenrito Council, and Innigo, the priest from the Basilica of the Light, as the high-ranking representative of the Terran Alliance to the Chapel of the Light's Wish? Father Montor.
It is worth mentioning that Lenid, who was originally the permanent ambassador of the Forsaken to the Silver Dawn and a member of the Silver Dawn? Barcelonaemia. was supposed to attend this meeting, but because of Bridget? Abydis was excluded from the meeting because of his opposition, and then, according to his wishes, Gao He, who had been asked to attend by Britst for some reason, was temporarily appointed as the plenipotentiary representative of the Forsaken.
In fact, at the same time as Alsace raided the Chapel of the Wish of Light, I am afraid that Xi? Nozomi should have known about what happened in this area, and the reason why she couldn't arrive in the first place was probably only because this holy land theoretically rejected any kind of teleportation spell, let alone Nozomi? I hope she has a dark aura of her own.
But Gao He also believes. In a short period of time. Hope? Nozomi would rush to the Chapel of Light's Wish to solve another problem for them, but now......
"That's right, sooner or later, we're going to have to face King Meow head-on. Kill the Northern Rift. Eliminate the base camp of the undead and natural disasters. It's an imperative battle, but ...... Now is not the time ......"
Tirio? Furding frowned, trying to persuade Abidis to take the lead.
"Nope. I just think that the time when Kel'thugad is dead and Arthas is wounded is the best time to counterattack King Meow! β
Her fist slammed the long table in the conference room, and her tone became stronger.
"Whether it's the Silver Dawn or the Scarlet Crusaders, although we have different philosophies, there is at least one thing that we have the same goal, and that is ...... Completely sweep away the scourge of the undead and restore the purity and holiness of the world of Azerah! β
"This is true, but Silver Dawn has suffered heavy losses and needs to rest, and I believe that the Scarlet Crusaders are not ready to counterattack Northrend, especially not so long ago, and the Scarlet Crusaders are also ...... internally."
Erigor was only halfway through his sentence when Brigget unceremoniously interrupted.
"I believe I know better than you about the internal affairs of the Scarlet Crusade, in fact, the troops under my command have already prepared for the Northern Expedition, as for the Silver Dawn...... Since you are not strong enough, then, as a vassal of the Scarlet Crusaders, you will be responsible for logistics and camps, etc., and I will lead the Scarlet Crusaders to bear the ...... on the front line."
"Wait, General Abydis, I don't understand what you mean."
Maxwell? Baron Tairosus' voice sounded a little embarrassed.
"What do you mean...... Make Silver Dawn a vassal of the Scarlet Crusaders? β
"That's right, I don't intend to hold you accountable for breaking away from the Scarlet Crusaders and setting up your own door, and besides, your actions weakened the Scarlet Crusaders' strength, which led to such a catastrophe for the Scarlet Crusaders, and I can also be blamed for this series of things, but now I ......"
The tough female general's cold gaze swept over everyone present at the Silver Dawn one by one.
"Now that the Northern Expedition is imminent, I think it's time for us to reunite as a whole - a new army I call the Scarlet Northern Expeditionary Army - Your Excellency Fortin, here, I ask you to be the supreme leader of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and lead the new Scarlet Northern Expeditionary Army to victory."
Supreme Leader? Nominally, it is, but in reality......
Gao He, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but sneer.
On the surface, it seems to be giving up the supreme power, but in fact, it is completely emptying the old Ferdin, because with the previous saying that "Silver Dawn became a vassal of the Blood Crusaders", it is destined that the top leaders of this Northern Expeditionary Army will all be the team of the Scarlet Crusaders, and the members of Silver Dawn ...... Positions like logistics captains or camp guards probably won't be able to run.
Undoubtedly, Old Furding was well aware of Bridget's meaning, and because of this, he showed the same caution as a true Alliance marshal in the face of this female general of the same age as his daughter.
"Regarding the Northern Expedition, I think it is necessary to discuss it more carefully......
"Discuss? Yes, there is a need for careful discussion about the command and distribution of the army, and the determination of the commanders, but before that, we have another problem that needs to be resolved......"
ββ¦β¦β
At this point, the situation was completely in the hands of the young General Abydis.
Originally, the attitude of the Silver Dawn side towards the Northern Expedition was not in agreement, but in the course of the meeting, the content of the conversation was shifted from "whether to determine the Northern Expedition" to "the details of the Northern Expedition plan need to be discussed again", and subtly "deciding on the Northern Expedition" became an established fact.
Everyone present. It's clear how this process developed, but now, facing the domineering Britcht, even Tirio? Ferdin, too, did not raise any objections in the end.
In fact, after experiencing such a thrilling battle before, the spirit and will of everyone in Silver Dawn are at the lowest point, and it is really difficult for them to intrigue with Bridget at the negotiating table for a long time at this moment.
Because of this. After eye contact. Several people also quickly came up with an attitude to deal with it, that is, to remain silent about Bridget's qiΔ mentions, not to oppose or approve, and to wait until they had recuperated for a period of time. The details are then re-pursued and discussed.
But. Such delaying tactics. It seems that Bridget is also in the scope of consideration, so the second topic of the meeting that Bridget immediately proposes is ......
"About the Death Knights captured in this battle. and, most importantly, the life box of Kel'thugad, I think, should all be left to the Scarlet Crusaders. β
It should be noted here that the Holy Reckoning that broke out by the Lightbringer Ushar only incinerated the walking dead who had lost their will and soul into pieces, while the Death Knights of the Knights of the Black Blade who still retained their will and were only enslaved by Frost Grief and the Meow King finally survived the reckoning and became prisoners of this battle.
In addition, Kel'thugad's life box was now lying quietly at the conference table, as if sensing the fate of what he was about to face, and now the lich who had been chattering inside was now rare and silent.
It stands to reason that these death knights and Kel'thugad's life box are the results of the battle that the people of Silver Dawn have exchanged for their lives, and even if they are disposed of, it should be up to the personnel of Silver Dawn to decide for themselves, but now, Bridget has made such an excessive request.
"I want to ...... There shouldn't be this need, although Silver Dawn suffered heavy losses in today's battle, but with the help of the power of the Holy Land, it is not a problem to control these captives......"
This time, it wasn't the Silver Dawn side who spoke, but the Scarlet High Lord Tyran? Fordin, the only person in the room who had a double position, and although a member of the Scarlet Crusade, was clearly inclined to the side of the Silver Dawn in terms of stance alone.
"Of course, I don't doubt that Silver Dawn has the corresponding strength."
Bridget shook her head, and a smile crept away from the corner of her mouth.
"What worries me is that these captives will not be judged and disposed of as they deserve, but will end up as ...... Interfere with the forces of the Northern Expedition. β
"What do you mean by that?"
This time, Maxwell's tone finally became unkind.
"Oh...... I think I understand what I mean, Baron. β
Bridget used her chin to nun the direction of the gate.
"Just now, an undead almost took part in this meeting with your permission - by the way, to you Silver Dawn, those guys should be called 'Forsaken', but, I suppose, what was really forgotten...... Maybe it's you! β
Bang!
Her fist slammed into the table again, her eyes wide open, and she screamed in rage.
"They're the undead! It's the undead! No matter what the name is changed! Their essence is the undead who bring us plague and death! I will never allow these filthy and evil creatures to remain on our land! Never! β
"But, Bridget, you know, they were once human, and they also had the will and ...... to be human Conscience. β
Tirio? Fordin's retort was met with Bridget's merciless sneer.
"Conscience? The kind of coaxing children should be kept for your orc brothers. β
ββ¦β¦β
Tirio choked like this? Ferdin's complexion changed several times, but in the end, he still calmed down and did not break out on the spot.
"Listen, I don't care what they used to be, all I know is that they are now damned undead - as long as they are undead, they should be destroyed, and the only thing we had to do before the Northern Expedition was to take these undead who could tear us back at any moment...... Penetrate! Bottom! Vanish! Extinguish! β
"Listen, Bridget. I also want to sue you for one thing! β
Wait until the other person is done with this, Tirio? Only then did Fording speak in a deep voice.
"I will not pay attention to your offense against me, because I know that you have suffered from the loss of your father, but the Death Knights you tried to execute were my brothers, my men, my friends, and my people before they became minions of the Lich King!"
Facing Tirio? Fording had a low roar like a lion's. Even if it was Brigitte, who was so strong before. At this moment, I couldn't help but suffocate slightly.
"It seems to me that whether they are undead, orcs, or humans, they are only divided into races, but there is no distinction between high and low, good and evil! The warriors who gave their lives to restore the land to cleansing. Their final outcome should be the return of the Heroic Soul to the earth. And not in the name of evil. Burned at the stake by you crazy crusaders! β
There was silence in the conference room, facing Abidis who had a beautiful face but now looked like a madman. And Tirio, who was also ignited and became extremely angry? No one dared to interject a conversation between the two at this moment.
Faced with such an impasse, Gao He knew that it was time for him to play.
"I think there's maybe another solution."
His words reached everyone's ears and attracted everyone's attention at the first time.
At the same time, Erigor, who has always had a cold attitude? The Dawn Emissary, the arrogant Scarlet Commander Marlan and several others nodded to Gao He almost at the same time, motioning for him to continue speaking.
The tips of his fingers quietly touched the sword of the Ash Messenger beside him, and Gao He's heart was greatly calmed, and he spoke loudly.
"If there is a Queen of the Dead, Nozomi? With Nozomi's help, I am sure to expel the will that Frost Grief and King Meow have imposed on those Death Knights, and thus set their souls and wills free. β
"Really?!"
This time, even Tirio? Fording was also greatly moved.
"That's right...... Galeries Lafayette ...... Oh, I mean, Lord Fordin, you know that the Ember Bringer is a little out of the way these days...... Question, though, I'm sure I can manipulate the power of this sword......"
Speaking of which, in order to increase the stakes, Gao He paused for a moment and then focused on another sentence.
"Although everyone, including Darien, will not be able to recover, if they regain their will, I believe that they will also join us in the battle against King Meow."
ββ¦β¦β
For Gao He's words, Tirio? Fording was obviously moved, and to her surprise, Briggette did not say anything against it.
"Well, regarding the lich Kel's fateful box, forgive me for having an immature building yì ......"
Father Montor also interjected at this time.
"Archbishop Bernie Dietes has previously instructed that if she is lucky enough to obtain the soul core or life box of Kel'thugad during the battle of Naxxramas, then she can give it to her, and she will personally purify this evil lich with holy light."
"I see, is it His Excellency the Archbishop......
Hear that, Tirio? Furding also bowed slightly.
"If it's His Excellency the Archbishop, I don't have an opinion."
This time, even though it was the arrogant Bridget, she did not continue to be stubborn.
Obviously, Archbishop Bernie Dietes's popularity is already at a difficult peak in the Human Alliance, and she will personally dispose of Kel'thugad's life box, and I believe that she will definitely give everyone a proper explanation.
"Then, the disposition of the Death Knight captives and the Kel'thugad life box will be as previously discussed......
Just as Old Fourding was about to conclude the conversation as well, Bridget let out a strange sneer.
"Dear Lord Fordin, I think you've probably made a mistake."
"Huh?"
Old Ferding looked at her in bewilderment.
"Bridget, you mean ......"
"I have no opinion on leaving the Archbishop's fateful box to the Archbishop, but ......"
"I repeat, the Forsaken are my trusted allies, they fought alongside me against the threat of Naxxramas, and I have one hundred percent trust in them!"
In the face of Fordin's tough statement, Bridget just smiled.
"I'm sorry, Lord Fordin, I think I'm well aware of your determination to 'protect' the Forsaken, so what I'm going to bring up next is the third and most important part of this meetingβ"
She stood up again, her haughty eyes looking around at everyone, and finally landed on Gao He, who was still a little unclear.
"Ownership of the Leader's Sword...... That's right, about the ...... to which the Ashbringer belongs"
"Wait a minute!"
Tyran? Fuding was the first to interrupt Bridget's speech, enraged.
"General Abydis, what you just said is undoubtedly an offense to the Ashesbringer!"
"Oh......? I don't think so, Your Excellency. β
With a sarcastic smile, she looked Gao He up and down until she looked at him all over her body.
"As the sword of the leader of the Scarlet Crusaders, how could the Ashbringer casually fall into the hands of someone else?"
"General, I think you must have misunderstood......"
Scarlet Commander Marlan whispered beside her.
"This is the new Grand Crusade of the Scarlet Crusade, and I don't think there's anything ...... him to be an Ember Bringer."
"Marlan, when do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
"Right...... I'm sorry...... Checkmate. β
While repulsing Marlan, Abidis strolled to Gao He's side, and after standing still for a moment, he suddenly reached out and knocked off Gao He's judgment armor.
When the long ......
The metal-lined visor fell to the ground with a series of sounds, exposing Gao He's pale face.
"The Grand Crusader? It's ridiculous...... I'm not going to let the tragedy of Dassohan happen a second time. β
"General Abydis, I don't understand what you mean."
Facing the pressure of the woman in front of him step by step, Gao He finally knew her purpose.
It should be said that whether it was the previous Northern Expedition or the disposal of the prisoners, it was just a cover for this woman to cover people's eyes, and the real purpose of her coming here today is for herself, or ...... For the Ember Bringer.
"Are you still quibbling? In that case......"
To Gao He's surprise, next, with Bridget's order, the door of the conference room was suddenly forcibly broken open from the outside.
In the meantime, Bridget? Abidis's cold voice also reached his ears at this moment-
"Catch this evil undead who is trying to tarnish the name of the Ember Bringer! If there is resistance...... Lawfully kill on sight! ββ¦β¦ (To be continued......)
