4. The Beginning of Destiny's Entanglement (Part 2)
Stratholme is the richest city in the Kingdom of Lordaeron after the capital city of Lordaeron.
This land was first created when the human empire of Arathor fought against the trolls. A general named Lordaeron died fearlessly here. Later people named this place Lordaeron in memory of him.
After 3,000 years of development, the Kingdom of Lordaeron has become the well-deserved leader of the human kingdom in northern Xinjiang. It has the largest number of citizens, the richest people, and the strongest war strength. The Menethil family that rules here is the legacy of wise kings.
Under the leadership of King Terenas, Lordaeron also moved towards a more prosperous future.
And all of this was destroyed by the orcs who rushed out of the Dark Portal in the swamps at the southernmost tip of the continent, invaders from another world.
Before the fall of the Kingdom of Stormwind, the envoys they sent for help almost knelt before the nobles in King Terenas' court. But even so, the reputation of the Kingdom of Stormwind in the Human Alliance, which had pursued an isolation policy for decades, did not matter.
Unfortunately, not many nobles are willing to rescue him.
In fact, there was a rumor among the noble circles at that time that the powerful alliance did not need to take the orcs seriously at all, and this rumor was recognized by many nobles.
But it wasn't until Stormwind City was destroyed that the orc problem really gained human attention. Unfortunately, by that time, they had no way to drive the orcs back to Draenor in one go.
Nowadays, the seven human nations can only unite closely and try to completely destroy the orc army in the decisive battle. But no matter what the result is, the overall development level of mankind will be set back for at least 10 years because of this battle...
Although I regret it, I have to fight now, and in order to truly defeat the orcs, the human kingdom has prepared a trump card for this.
On this day, the King's Square in Stratholme City was crowded with people. Almost everyone in the city stood here, witnessing the grand ceremony that was going on. Blue ribbons were hung all over the buildings around the square, and there were also prayers thrown by believers.
Flower petals, as well as the giant red carpet provided by the royal family, will trigger a burst of cheers every time a famous figure appears.
On the high platform is the Archbishop of the Church of Holy Light, Alonsos Fao, who is already old. He is wearing a solemn and grand white priest's robe, holding the staff of Holy Light. In front of him, two royals are standing in front of him.
The knight holds a large ornately decorated book.
"3,000 years ago, our ancestors received the inspiration of the Holy Light for the first time!"
Under the influence of the amplification magic of the mages, Archbishop Fao's voice spread clearly throughout the square and into everyone's ears. It was gentle yet firm, making people feel the warmth of the holy light from the heart.
"That was the first time that great beings showed hope in the dark age! They used angels and mysterious patterns of holy light to convey to us who were still in fear the truth that existed outside the world and guarded justice in endless time.
Light! They tell us that among the stars, we are not alone!"
"The sacred connection washed and purified the hearts of the ancestors. The sages regarded it as a blessing, so the way of the Holy Light awakened from that time and continues to this day!"
"Justice, peace and devotion!"
"The Holy Light teaches us how to deal with disasters and threats. Even in the face of brutal invaders, as long as we unite as one and as long as we never give up, the Holy Light... will eventually bring us hope!"
"And after hope, comes the victory of tearing through the darkness!"
The archbishop opened his hands, and a bright arc of light filled his palms. In the swing of the staff of holy light, a halo filled with mysterious geometric patterns and sacred mantras appeared in the form of an arc.
Behind him, the warm holy light expanded at this moment, spreading the light throughout the square.
The sincere believers in the front row were half-kneeling on the ground, chanting sacred scriptures in a low voice. The moment the light touched their bodies, endless faith and courage spread out from their bodies.
"Today! Together we will witness the birth of the great warrior who defends the Holy Light!"
"Today! The world that has been tortured by the bad news of the invaders will have a chance to breathe!"
"Today! A greater and more unyielding road to the Holy Light will be completely opened!"
"Today, under the gaze of the Holy Light and the people, the first batch of Holy Knights will be born here, and they will form the Knights of the Silver Hand. They will inherit the courage of their ancestors, lead the people of the Holy Light, and completely drive away all darkness.
!”
Alonsos Faol stood in front of the cathedral named after him. His expression was solemn and solemn, his silver hair was hanging on his shoulders. In front of him, there were five warriors in armor lined up.
Behind them were a large number of attendants and warriors who were also prepared.
"Glory to this! Hope to this! Loyalty to this! Courage to this!"
The archbishop coughed lightly, looked at the five people in front of him, and asked in a deep voice:
"Are you ready to meet your destiny? Warriors!"
"Shua"
The first middle-aged knight wearing silver armor is also a sincere believer in the Holy Light. He is no longer young, but the persistence in his eyes still makes people feel his courage.
"Snapped"
He half-knelt on the ground, straightened his upper body, slapped his gauntlet on his chest, and shouted loudly:
"I! Uther! Believer of the Holy Light, Knight of Lordaeron, I am willing to sacrifice everything for the Holy Light, Lordaeron and the Human Alliance, fight endlessly, and die with glory! This is my honor!"
"Very good! My disciple."
Faol looked at Uther, his eyes full of satisfaction and expectation. He reached out and took a badge with a mysterious pattern from the aide, and put it on Uther's chest with his own hands.
"Then, in the name of the Holy Light! I will hand over to you the Holy Deed of Justice passed down from thousands of years ago! May the justice in your heart never dissipate!"
"boom"
The moment the golden sacred contract came into contact with Uther's breastplate, a scorching and huge pillar of holy light fell from the sky. It was like a miracle, making all the bystanders scream in surprise, and when Uther stood up
At that time, his silver armor was decorated with golden sacred runes, just like a real set of holy light armor.
And Uther's body was also bathed in the power of the holy light, becoming stronger and taller! It perfectly fit the image of the hero in the hearts of believers. This scene made the chanting in the square become louder.
Because it's like a miracle.
Behind Uther, another tall warrior stepped forward and half-knelt in front of Bishop Faol. His muscles stretched like a human-shaped killing weapon, and his voice was like thunder.
"I! Saidan Dathrohan, a warrior from Lordaeron, I am willing to sacrifice everything for the Holy Light and the people until death!"
The archbishop nodded and placed a sacred contract shining with golden light on his chest.
"Very good! In the name of Holy Light, I hand over the sacred sacred contract inherited from ancient times to you! May the courage in your heart illuminate the darkness!"
"boom"
Divine light burst out from Dathrohan's body, so dazzling that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.
The third person half-kneeling on the ground was a man who did not look like a warrior. He was a little uncomfortable with the heavy armor on his body, but the light in his eyes never dimmed.
"Me! Priest Turalyon from Lordaeron, I have never fought as a warrior, but if the Holy Light, my country, and my people need it, I will not hesitate to do so!"
This oath made his mentor very satisfied. He stretched out his hand and put the holy deed into the hands of his disciples, and said warmly:
"In the name of the Holy Light! My disciple, I hand over the Holy Deed of Protection to you! May you use your unyielding will to defend the country and the people!"
"boom"
This time, the holy light seemed extremely gentle. It poured into the priest's body. When the holy light faded, Turalyon's body was no longer emaciated. On the contrary, he became almost like a knight like Uther.
Has completely adapted to the weight of the armor.
The Holy Light strengthened his strength and body, making him worthy of the title of Paladin.
Next is a middle-aged knight wearing some ancient armor. The armor on his body represents his noble status, and he seems to have a high status.
"I! Tirion Fordring, the glorious knight from Lordaeron! I will swear to obey the oath of my family to the death, and dedicate my life and everything to Lordaeron and the way of the Holy Light that I follow!"
This knight was obviously a friend of Bishop Faol. He smiled and placed a holy covenant on his chest.
"In the name of Holy Light! My friend Fording, I hand over the Holy Pact of Punishment to you! May you use the sharp blade in your hand to cut off all darkness for the people!"
"boom"
The holy light, which was not inferior to that of other paladins, burst out from Tirion Fordring, and finally condensed on the sword behind him, like a symbol.
The successful inauguration of the four paladins has filled the entire King's Square with unimaginable holy light, as if bathing in the sea of holy light. The last holy covenant, representing the holy covenant of healing and purification, is
It was held by Archbishop Fao, and in front of him was a general wearing battle armor.
He is different from the other four paladins.
"I... Gavinrad Doom from the Kingdom of Stormwind!"
Gavin Rad, the exiled general from Stormwind City who once had a relationship with Tyrion, clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand. He took a deep breath, looked at the archbishop in front of him, and said in a deep voice:
"I experienced the first war with the orcs. I almost witnessed how those butchers treated our civilians. At the moment when Stormwind City fell, I swore to myself that I would never allow the orcs to trample on our world again.
!”
"I will never allow the tragedies that happened to my people to happen to other people again. For this! I am willing to pay everything until death!"
This unique oath of office did not weaken the brilliance shining on Gavin Ladd. On the contrary, Archbishop Fao patted his shoulder with satisfaction and personally placed the last holy covenant in his hand on Gavin Ladd.
On the armor of virtue.
"Then, make good use of this healing Holy Pact! Fearless General, may the Holy Light heal the sorrow in your and your people's hearts, and may hope last forever!"
"boom"
The same scorching light fell from the sky and enveloped Gavin Rad's body. When the five paladins stood together, the holy light emanating from their bodies enveloped all the attendants and warriors behind them.
Just like the light when Uther took office, he shared it with the 300 knights behind him without hesitation, so that they also shared the glory on this day and became the first members of the newly built Knights of the Silver Hand.
Among them are the exiled nobles from the Kingdom of Stormwind, soldiers from Lordaeron, and those great nobles who went to the battlefield to protect the people. There are even some exiled dwarves from Dun Morogh. These are strong-willed and hot-tempered dwarves.
The short knights, in order to liberate their occupied homeland, are willing to give up their original beliefs and convert to the Holy Light.
And on this day, the Holy Light brought a new gift to the human kingdom that had been overwhelmed by the orcs, the Paladin. This will be the secret weapon prepared by the Human Alliance for the orcs. They firmly believe that by spreading the Holy Light,
A powerful knight will earn glory and victory for the alliance.
But they don't know that the orcs, who represent evil in this story, have also prepared the same secret weapon for humans.
Paladins and Death Knights, two completely different beliefs, two completely different powers, light and darkness, justice and evil, all of which will burst out the world's first roar on the upcoming battlefield.
The two opposing parties have the will and reason to win. On the battlefield, the collision of forces will determine who will rule this continent.
As for who will win and who loses, it is still not known yet.
The only thing we can be sure of is that this will be a fierce, cruel, crazy, and all-out fight to the death... and the one left in the end will be the real winner of this battle between light and darkness.
