Chapter 1669: Throne Deliberation
Duke turned his head and glanced at Lao Mo: "Yo!
Lao Mo's face turned red on the spot, and he hesitated: "Alas, I have been loyal to Lordaeron for most of my life, I have fought trolls, orcs, demons and undead, if in the end it is my blood that causes trouble for the kingdom and the alliance, I am afraid that I will not be able to rest in peace when I die." So I ......"
Duke rolled his eyes: "So you sneaked into Northrend and found yourself the headquarters of the Knights of the Black Blade?" aren't you afraid that you will become the new Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?"
"I'm also very guilty, and I feel sorry for the alliance. I've thought about reporting it to you separately many times. But in the end, I chose to go to the appointment...... I waited for Darion on the periphery of Icecrown. Old Mograine spoke lightly, but who could relate to his feelings?
After many inner struggles, his two sons have all become death knights.
One is a shameless betrayal, and the other is a temporary sinking of perhaps salvation.
On one side is honor, duty, loyalty, and on the other side is blood, affection, and hope.
Duke admits that he has switched identities with Mograini, and he doesn't know what to do, and either option is not a mistake. Either way, the consequences could be very frightening.
If you are not a traverser, you will never be able to foresee the independence and rise of the Knights of the Black Blade, let alone the reaction of the Alliance.
After all, before this moment, even if the Alliance turned a blind eye to the undead on the tribe's side, it was not necessarily going to accept a group of Death Knights, even if they were neutral......
Old Mograine's gaze seemed to be cast to the distant past, when his two children were still young: "I have dedicated half my life to the kingdom and the second half to the alliance, and I will not retire until I can no longer move." I am ashamed of my selfish practices, I don't deserve to be a paladin who spreads the Light. ”
Lao Mo sighed and said: "When I came to Northrend, I listened to the whispering wind, stared at the broken world, looked at the scenery that seemed to be the end of the world, like a harsh place where all things had not yet been born, but there was a sense of trance that the world was so beautiful, it seemed that everything could be started all over again." I thought that since even Anastrian could break free from the Lich King, my beloved youngest son should have a chance. ”
Speaking of which, the elder Mor pulled his own breastplate, which contained a newest explosive pack from the Alliance: "I will not let the League soldiers have to face a death knight named Alexandros Mograini." If necessary, I'll blow myself up, a Death Knight who has lost his body is not strong. ”
At this time, Darien bowed his head and said in a deep voice, "Please don't blame my father, this is just the wish of a group of undead who still love the alliance and long for their former compatriots to still be happy. We don't want anything in return, even if we charge towards the Icecrown fortress first, and use our destruction to clear the way for the Alliance, we have no regrets!"
Duke closed his eyes, as if in deep thought, and almost at the same time, Duke received the news that the Scourge had begun to retreat.
Duke sighed, "I can't promise you anything, but I will give you a chance to state the state of you and your Knights of the Black Blade, as well as your wishes, at the Throne Council of the Alliance." Whether or not to admit you, or how to treat you, will be decided by a vote of the leaders of the Alliance. ”
"Thank you very much!" said Mograini in unison.
Without doing it on the spot, it was already saving face, and convening a throne council for this purpose actually meant that Duke gave the green light. Otherwise, even if Duke kills Mograini on the spot, no one else can say that it is half wrong.
This defensive battle is over.
The alliance's front did not retreat, but Duke ordered to increase the defense, and on the front line of the trenches, pillboxes and other fortifications, the magic shield was directly turned on twenty-four hours a day.
Duke, who has a lot of money, keeps calling in the energy needs of the elemental shield directly from other elemental realms.
The Coalition commanders drove the warm-hearted soldiers out of the barracks and reinvigorated the fortifications. The army was assembled in the area of the Storm Crags and the Crystal Song Forest, while the rest of the area was patrolled by the Wyverns of the Temple of Dragon's Sleep, and left enough reserves in places like the Borean Tundra to prepare for a counter-charge.
Three days later, the Council of the Thrones began at the Skykeep Naxxramas, with half of the Alliance leaders in attendance, and the rest watched and voted on in magical mirrors.
When Mograine and his son made speeches one after another, saying that the Knights of the Black Blade were willing to fight with the Alliance.
The leaders fell silent for a long time, and then there was a whisper confined to the magical teleportation network.
Unexpectedly, the first to speak was Varian: "The boundary between the dead and the living, can it be broken like this? Today the Alliance accepts the Death Knight as a temporary ally, and tomorrow will it be closer to cooperation? And then into the Alliance? What about the legacy of the kingdom?"
Accepting the undead, the human response is certainly the greatest.
Maybe the elves, dwarves, gnomes, and draenei creatures don't feel anything, and don't you see that Kael'thas waited for a thousand years before Anastrian died, and was forced to wait for a long time, and then wait until something happened?
Among the leaders of the Seven Human Kingdoms, Kaizi seems to be the kind of guy who doesn't feel much about this kind of issue.
The problem is that there are still three leaders in the alliance who are immortal. If there is any inheritance problem, it must be the two brothers of Varian and Danas.
They will only speak first.
Whether they are the two of them, or the other human leaders, they are actually not worried about the Knights of the Black Blade itself, but the impact on human society ethics and morality caused by it.
Danas Thorbain tapped his finger on his throne and knocked for a while before he spoke: "Commander Marcus, I first want to ask, is it the alliance's current absolute policy to accept more acceptable combat power?"
Duke was categorical: "The Burning Legion will return, ten, not more than twenty years, and a battle for survival with Azeroth as the battlefield will begin." I suppose that the scene of the destruction of Dalaran when Akmund came is still fresh in the memory of most of the people present, right?"
Everyone was silent.
Magni spoke, "The Tribe's acceptance of the Forsaken is the Tribe's tradition of using Death Knights. But the Horde is not a Union. How can we believe that this Death Knight of the Knights of the Black Blade will not rebel against the Alliance, and even all the living, at a critical moment?"
The big and small Mograini trembled at the same time, and they couldn't say anything about this.
