Ever since the day Varian Wrynn initiated reforms in the Kingdom of Stormwind and massacred many nobles of the Kingdom of Stormwind, the Kingdom of Lordaeron and King Arthas have been in deep trouble with the noble issue.
Geographically speaking, the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Stormwind have become neighboring countries after migrating to Kalimdor. Therefore, no matter what happens in the Kingdom of Stormwind, whether good or bad, it will directly affect the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
.
From a political perspective, after the Kingdom of Stormwind fell to the Dark Blade's attack, the domestic nobles took their people to seek refuge in Northern Xinjiang. At that time, the nobles of the two countries began to have frequent contacts, and they connected each other's personal networks with each other.
The network of influence is entangled, so after the "Blood King" incident, the noble circle of Lordaeron suffered a much deeper impact than the nobles of other kingdoms.
The fear that bursts out from the deepest part of the heart, the threat of death and annihilation, the terrifying future of the demise of inheritance and bloodline, are all like whips, lashing hard into the hearts of Lordaeron nobles, making them become
Suspicious and fearful, crazy and stubborn, as if the end is coming.
Their civilians smeared Varian and everything related to him. They regarded Varian and his set of reforms as a scourge. There was even a period of time when there was even the slightest rumor related to industrial civilization in Lordaeron.
Whispers of the wind would arouse the hostility of these nobles. Arthas also planned to build several factories in Lordaeron, but was forcibly stopped by the noble council.
That kind of morbid fear spread throughout the country like a plague, and several major events occurred along the way. As a result, Arthas had no energy and time to deal with the gradually changing situation within the country, and Lordaeron
The kingdom, how should I put it, is probably because the disaster of the undead was the last to spread to this country. Its location in northern Xinjiang determines that it has always been the rear area of the frontline war. Therefore, compared with other countries, it was severely cut off by the undead.
After all, the power of the old nobles in the Kingdom of Lordaeron is quite huge.
To be blunt, a large part of the national power of the Kingdom of Lordaeron is not in the hands of the king. If in other countries, the nobles claiming to be the most important part of the country are just boasting, then in Lordaeron,
This sentence is the real fact!
For Lordaeron, the power of the nobles has penetrated into every corner of the country. If one day, all the nobles disappear collectively, then the country will instantly fall into a state of stagnation or even chaos.
The reason why they are so important is because they control almost 70% of the entire country's material output and maintain the entire country's commercial system and commodity circulation.
They are the masterminds who control the country. In such a system, if the king wants to compete with the nobles, he can only rely on power play to instigate the nobles to be hostile to each other, while he becomes the referee to maintain the balance.
This was also the method used by King Terenas back then. The old man was a real master of power. Under his single-handed control, the nobles of the entire country followed him closely.
But Alsace does not have this ability. Fortunately, the Paladin King has firmly held military power since he moved to Kalimdor. There are several legions in the country that are directly subordinate to the king, so the nobles do not dare to
It forced Arthas too much. For Arthas, for a period of time, what made him feel the most pressure was that the nobles suddenly united because of something to fight against the king. In Lordaeron like this
In the system, once that happens, it will be a real nightmare for the king.
And now, that nightmare has come true and is right in front of Alsace.
The rebel Varian Wrynn, who extremely hates the nobles, is about to become the emperor of the empire. Once he sits on that throne, once he has the name to exercise the power of the emperor, even if the nobles of Lordaeron unite, they will not
There may be something good to be gained, and their future may even be completely wiped out in a sudden attack like those in Stormwind City overnight.
The emergence of this future caused the nobles of Lordaeron to completely tear off the last pretense of tenderness. They began to become aggressive. They used various methods to force Arthas and asked him to compete for the emperor.
After being explicitly rejected, these crazy nobles asked Arthas to declare Lordaeron to withdraw from the alliance of the Holy Arathor Empire and become an independent country.
This is obviously a request that Alsace cannot agree to.
Once he cannot withstand the pressure and really issues this order, not to mention the people will hate the Menethil royal family, even he himself will not know how to face his sincere beliefs.
He is a believer in the Holy Light, and the True Faith in the Holy Light is the state religion of the Holy Arathor Empire.
What's more, Arthas knew more than those nobles. He knew that if he announced Lordaeron's separation from the Arathor Empire on the first day, his country would be separated from the Arathor Empire before the dawn of the next day.
The dark blade undead that rushed out of the sea were completely wiped out overnight
Tyrion Dawnblade is not a ruler who will listen to his explanations or understand his difficulties.
But the problem is that he can't tell the truth to those nobles and those stupid guys won't believe it.
This is a dead end. It is impossible to preserve everything and survive these difficult times. Sacrifice must be made to survive this difficulty. This is the consensus of everyone. Now, in front of the nobles and the king, the final decision
The important question is
Who should be sacrificed?
"Bang, bang"
The sound of knocking on the door woke up Arthas who was deep in thought. The Paladin King of Lordaeron raised his head and said tiredly:
"Come in."
The king's loyal captain of the guard, Farric, sent today's lunch to his majesty. It was very sumptuous and in line with the treatment a king should have. However, this delicious food could not make Alsace feel better because
He is facing trouble.
Real big trouble.
Recently, there are rumors that the anxious noble council has been unable to force the stubborn Arthas to sign the king's decree withdrawing from the imperial alliance, so these bastards have their thoughts on Arthas and Jaina's son who is not yet 2 years old.
, they planned to activate Lordaeron's inheritance law, force Arthas to abdicate, pass the throne to his son, and then use the method of "noble regency" to achieve their goals.
But this was a rumor after all, and no one knew whether it was true or not. Therefore, even when Queen Jaina was very angry, she and Arthas could not use this unfounded reason to confront those cunning nobles.
But Arthas has always been worried in his heart. He knows that in despair, people can abandon all bottom lines in order to beg for a living. According to the inheritance law of Lordaeron, the behavior of the nobles is not impossible. The premise is that they do it unanimously.
There was a verdict that young Alsace could no longer bear the obligations of a king.
And that meant that the nobles were completely at odds with Alsace and the royal nobles who supported Alsace.
"What's wrong? Farric, your face looks a little bad."
Alsace was eating his lunch with a taste. He raised his head and saw the pale face of his captain of the bodyguard. He asked, and Farric, the loyal knight who has been the prince's bodyguard since he was a child, is here.
He clenched his fists for a moment, wondering whether he should tell his Majesty the bad news.
But under Alsace's eyes, Farric finally had to confess.
"Your Majesty, there is bad news. The guards placed by Marvin in the Noble Council Hall just ran back desperately to report that the Noble Council has reached a final verdict. They discovered that you and Queen Jaina went to the Federation for their honeymoon trip. They
By claiming this, you and the Queen may have betrayed our country."
"Bang"
Alsace slammed his fist on the table. Are those nobles crazy? They actually accused a king of betraying his country?
The Paladin King raised his head and looked at Farric:
"The Earl of Hawes, Lord Miles and Earl of Grove would not allow this nonsense to pass. Why didn't they stop it? Were they also coerced?"
The people Alsace named were all members of the royal party on his side, and they were all powerful nobles in the country. Facing the king's inquiry, Farric's expression became even more painful. He whispered:
"No, Your Majesty, they are there, everyone in the royal party is there. They have no support, but they have no objection. They abstained from voting. Your Majesty, they are afraid of the future of His Majesty Varian becoming the emperor, so they give up.
You are welcome."
"Pa"
At this time, Alsace felt as if he had been hit by a heavy punch in the abdomen. His expression became sluggish. The wine glass in his hand hit the ground and shattered into pieces. He woke up the little prince who was napping in the cradle in the room, and the child
Alsace's cry brought Arthas out of his sluggish state. He looked at Farric, his blue eyes under his long blond hair sparkling with anger. He suppressed his anger and asked:
"If there is any bad news, let's share it together."
"The nobles will ask you to abdicate tomorrow"
Farric glanced at the distressed little prince. He hurriedly walked over and held the little prince in his arms. The loyal captain of the guard looked at the little prince's face that was very similar to Alsace and said:
"They are discussing the possibility of putting the little prince on the throne as quickly as possible. Your Majesty, they want to destroy the reputation of you and the little prince. They want to destroy the honor of the entire Menethil family. In this way,
They escaped the terrible end."
"They, they, dare!"
Hearing that the conspiracy had spread to his son, Arthas could no longer bear the anger in his heart. He stood up, grabbed his sword, and said word by word:
"Farric! You take my loyal knights to protect my son, and then come to Maween. I want him to do something for me."
"Now, I'm going to go find those old immortals and have a good chat!"
Arthas was galloping on his own warhorse. He had to resolve this matter before Jaina returned from Kul Tiras.
Once Jaina knows that a group of old ghosts are planning to use her son to carry out a conspiracy, then she will definitely steal the Ebony Cold and kill all the nobles in Lordaeron overnight. Never doubt a person.
A mother's determination to protect her children, especially when the mother has the strength to shoot down a starship with her bare hands.
To be honest, that is what Arthas wants to do. He has never hated a group of people so much as he does now. As a Holy Light believer, he has been taught to forgive and forgive since he was a child, but now, he
I don’t want to forgive those people!
But reason still remained in Arthas' mind. He couldn't just kill everyone so casually, not only because it was not in line with the king's code of conduct, but also because once all the nobles died, the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron would be destroyed.
Order was over, and his country was completely over. Even if Varian wanted to lend a hand to help, in that unprecedented chaos, no one could save Lordaeron except military intervention.
And once military intervention does occur, it means that more people will die in vain.
That was a disaster that shouldn't have happened.
His Majesty the King was galloping on horseback at noon. This scene also attracted many civilians on the street. Some brave people said hello to Alsace, and the King waved his hands and shouted to them:
"Citizens of Lordaeron, I am Arthas Menethil, and I am your king. Now, I need your help! I should have made up my mind to do something long ago, but I have been putting it off until
What's happening now"
"Would you like to come with me?"
At Alsace's call, some enthusiastic young people followed the king and headed towards the noble council hall in Lordaeron. Throughout the city, the guards loyal to the king were in Malta.
Under the command of Wayne, go to various neighborhoods to mobilize the veterans and the civilians who are willing to help the king.
A turbulent undercurrent has begun to roll within the city of Lordaeron.
"Bang"
With a loud noise, the closed door of the noble council chamber was kicked open, and Alsace, holding a complete holy sword in hand, appeared in front of the nobles who were holding a meeting, holding the neck of a knocked-out guard.
In the midday sun, Alsace stood there, letting the sun shine on his body. Behind him, the civilians followed their king and knocked down the guards who tried to stop them.
To be honest, no one dares to stop them in this land that belongs to the king. Who dares to stop the king?
When they saw Alsace appearing in the council chamber, some timid nobles stood up and ran away. Any noble with a brain knew that what they were plotting had been exposed!
And the judgment that belongs to them has come
"Dear gentlemen and ladies."
Arthas threw aside the unconscious guard in his hands. He held the holy sword in both hands and stood at the door, looking at the crowded council hall in front of him. Almost all the high-ranking nobles in the entire city of Lordaeron were here.
He took a deep breath and said:
"I was disappointed to hear about the conspiracy you discussed in the dark, but I am also very fortunate that before the fire of conspiracy burned my son, I finally discovered a truth that I had ignored."
"This system, this framework, everything I have sworn to protect, the class I was born into, all of this, it is restraining me! Instead of protecting me."
"You don't want me to be king, because I can't be reduced to a rubber stamp controlled by you, and I can't sign my name to your disgusting ideas!"
"Bang"
The holy sword in Alsace's hand hit the ground hard, and amid the splashing bricks, his voice became louder and louder:
"And what I have experienced in the past, what I have seen, what I have learned, they all tell me that the Creator of Azeroth has never created humans above humans, nor has he ever created humans below humans.
The existence of nobles has become a cancer for this civilization. You are afraid of Varian because he will destroy all your privileges and destroy all your glory. Now, I want to tell you everything that is disgusting!"
Alsace raised the sword in his hand, and his tone became gloomy at this moment:
"If I can't protect my son, if I can't stick to my beliefs, if I can't bring a better future and hope to my people, then I don't deserve to be the king!"
"Everyone, I, Arthas Menethil, today, I declare here that I will no longer be the king!"
"You no longer need to be afraid of Varian, and you no longer need to be afraid of my brother."
"you"
"Start to be afraid of me!"
