Chapter 597: You're Degraded!
Kael'thas was really hard to death. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He never imagined that the situation would evolve into such a situation.
Now it's simply caught in the middle, and the two sides are not people.
In the aftermath of the invasion of Quel'Thalas, Kael'thas has always had a clear understanding that the era of isolationism is over. I don't know what will happen in the future, but it's right to have a good relationship with Lordaeron, who borders the country.
On the other hand, Duke, who offended the wisest of the entire league, was also irrational. Not only was there a feeling that the long-term emotional investment had been wasted, but it was also a sense of foreboding, almost from fate, which made Kael'thas very uncomfortable.
If he hadn't sought stability and wanted to see the situation clearly before making a decision, he wouldn't have done this.
If the previous vote had already been decided, then Quel'Salas wouldn't have to be the clown.
Hell yes, he didn't think that after Ryan handed over his voting rights to Duke, the five heads of state actually completed five votes in three seconds, and all of them were against votes. Push Quel'Thalas to the top of the wind and waves.
After shouting the 'abstention' with almost all his courage, Kael'thas made an "sorry" gesture to Duke on the spot. He didn't know how much impression he could save in Duke's mind by doing this, but if he didn't do anything, he wouldn't forgive himself.
"It doesn't matter. Duke didn't lip in reply, but spoke softly. At least half of the kings you heard.
This made Kael'thas feel embarrassed again.
It's someone else who is really embarrassed.
Terenus was cornered. He never expected that because of the duke of a small country, the alliance would show a sense of division.
Just a little bit, he, the leader of the alliance, was about to be slapped in the face.
Of course, for the sake of the harmony of the alliance, he could suppress this accusation of rebellion against Duke Barov. As a result, he will inevitably face opposition from all over the country. And all his previous plans against Alterac will come to naught.
In fact, it was clear from the beginning that it was impossible for Terenus to completely annex Alterac in a short period of time.
So from the very beginning he used a more roundabout and indirect way, such as handing it over to a man who could be convincing, talented, and seemed to be passionate about peace and unity......
It's a pity that now it seems that even the first step to clear the way for Lord Presto ascend the throne has been met with the greatest resistance.
He really had the heart to kill Duke. For the Mao Storm Kingdom to publicly state that all refugees will retreat within a year, and have no intention of touching any inch of territory on the Lordaeron continent, but at this time, a rope across the river, so that Lordaeron cannot go up or down?
If Elothia was indeed Duke's woman, Terenus might have been more wary, but no matter how many times they visited it in private, the maidens of Lordaeron's court swore that Eluthia was definitely a pure virgin.
He really couldn't understand why Duke wanted to kill Duke Barov when he had no interest in Alterac.
Terenus Minecil clenched the King's Scepter in his hand, the muscles of his cheeks trembling, and he took three deep breaths hard. He made a decision anyway.
"In accordance with the iron law laid down by the previous Covenant, I hereby declare with the head of the Lordaeron Alliance that the Barov family of Alterac is guilty, although there is no absolute proof that Duke Barov himself was involved in the rebellion against the Alliance. ”
Yes!
If he doesn't announce it, his follow-up plans will come to naught, Lordaeron's losses in the war will be irreparable, Lordaeron's strongest kingdom will be completely discredited, the price he paid to Jean, the political capital he paid to threaten Solas, and the consequences of forcing Dalaran to obey, all of which will be lost and will be borne by himself.
There was no turning back from the bow.
Terenus is now compelled to make a fortune, even if it will be at odds with many kingdoms and offend the Alliance's most legendary hero, Duke Marcus.
Over there, Illusia shuddered, but Duke took her hand. Illusia looked up in disbelief, and suddenly she heard Duke speak.
"I deeply regret this verdict, and the Kingdom of Stormwind reserves the right to protest in the future. ”
Duke's going to die carrying Terenus.
"According to the covenant, the punishment for the betrayer will be decided by the alliance leader......
Terenus decided to ignore Duke's statement, but in his heart he was already a little timid. Originally, he was going to directly sentence Duke Barov to death, because Duke Barov's influence in Alterac was too amazing. If he didn't clear the obstacles, he really didn't know if the Lord of Presto, whom he favored, would be able to fully master Alterac.
His biggest mistake was misjudging Duke's influence in the league.
Terenus stared at Duke, and when he saw the unreserved threat in Duke's eyes, his heart pounded violently, and he gritted his teeth, and he finally changed his words.
"In my capacity as the leader of the Lordaeron Alliance, I declare that in view of the Barovs' full support for the Alliance in the latter part of the war, their crimes will be curtailed as appropriate. Deprived the Duke of Barov of his title, demoted to commoners, and deprived the Barov family of all fiefdoms. Its territory will be in the hands of the future king of Alterac. Alex Barov and his relatives will be allowed to leave with all their belongings, but will be banned from entering Alterac for life. That's the final decision!"
Almost at the moment when the words fell, Duke Barov seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant, from a man entering his twilight years to an old man who was about to fall into the ground.
At this time, Duke's voice sounded again: "What a sorry penalty." Well, I'll also take this opportunity to announce that the fief of Countess Illusia Barov of the Stormwind Kingdom will be the Red Ridge Mountain Stop Lake and the lakeside town. ”
Slap in the face!
Chi Guoguo's slap in the face!
Apparently Duke didn't make a move, but Terenus felt like he had been slapped countless times by Duke, and his old face was stinging and stinging, as if it were burning.
There, according to the authority of the alliance leader, he stripped the Barov family of its roots - in this era of valuing land, only fiefdom is the foundation of everything, as long as there is fertile land, then the family and even the kingdom can prosper forever.
Here, Duke also followed the rules of the aristocratic game, directly making Illusia Barov from a virtual nobleman with no roots to a real nobleman in the real sense.
Anyone can see that Duke just refuses to cut off the roots of the Barov family for Lordaeron, and wants to chase Terenus and slap him in the face.
No one understands why Duke is doing this.
But at this moment, Illusia, who was standing diagonally behind Duke, was already full of tears.
She suddenly made a startling decision, looked up and said aloud: "I declare that I, Iluthia Barov, have given up the surname of Barov. (To be continued.) )
