Chapter 355: Which of the two powers harms the lesser?
Although the name of the Morning Frontier Legion has been determined, strictly speaking, this new Paladin Legion has not yet been officially included in the military establishment of Quel'Thalas.
Villeless showed his hands to his nephew: "This is a conclusion reached by the Sun King and the Silver Moon Council after discussion and compromise. It is just a temporary official position."
"You can understand that once the Morning Front Legion is officially included, you, the chief advisor, will naturally become the top officer of the Morning Front Legion."
"Me? Supreme Commander?"
Sarlayan pointed his finger at himself in confusion: "Are you kidding me? I'm not a paladin!"
Velez ruffled Sarlayan's hair in a funny way: "Who said that if you are not a paladin, you cannot be the supreme commander of the paladin army?"
"If I follow your thinking, can there only be rangers in the ranger army? Can't there be other auxiliary professions in the mage army?"
This is clearly not the case.
Even the ranger troops led by Sylvanas also have many auxiliary professions, such as thieves who detect intelligence, chaplains who accompany the army, etc., but they are mainly high-mobility rangers.
"emmmm..."
Sarlayan's mind was a little confused, but when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed the truth.
In the world view of Azeroth, commanding an army mainly depends on the commander's personal combat effectiveness and military commanding ability. Occupation is never a limitation.
"Don't worry, we have arranged a reliable deputy for you."
"call……"
Sarlayan let out a sigh of relief, gradually came to his senses, and his brain began to function again.
"Li Yajun?"
Verless: "...What kind of strange pronunciation is this? But it is indeed Liadrin."
Liadrin's mentor Vondelor is now also a member of the Silver Moon Council. From this point of view, Liadrin can be regarded as a subordinate of the parliamentary faction.
Mutual restraint.
...that's the theory.
But in fact, everyone knows that von der Rohr was promoted to the parliament by the old king.
Although the concentration of his royal faction is not as high as that of noble families like Deep Shadow and Sangunar, he is definitely on the side of the Sun Chaser royal family.
In other words, the Chenfeng Legion was brought under the control of the royal family in advance before it was established.
What does Silvermoon Chancellor Dar'Kan think of this?
Of course he was dissatisfied, but his arms couldn't lift his thighs.
The current decision-making structure of Quel'Thalas leaves no room for Dar'Kan to wave his long sleeves.
What can I do? Just lie down and let the grass fall.
I have to praise Darkan's psychological quality. In this environment, he can still sit in the position of speaker shamelessly and steadily, without letting Anasteria find an excuse to push him down.
Sarlayan has no doubt that once Darkan finds a breakthrough, this poisonous snake who has been hiding for a long time will definitely take the opportunity to rise up and seize power again.
Sarlayan had never held any military position before, and he immediately became the top military officer of the emerging legion, which naturally attracted a lot of criticism.
Compared with the lame king who could not get the support of the Silver Moon Council in the past, the Sun King's back is now straight.
Earl Jin or he should be sent out to serve as a weak-legged general, it’s your choice.
In the eyes of the traditional nobles who are so poor that they only have money, isn’t the so-called top officer of the legion still kneeling down to beg for food?
The allocation of funds for each major legion must be approved by the Silver Moon Council. Even today's Silver Moon Council cannot help but consider the opinions of the high-taxpaying nobles when passing policies related to spending money.
In other words, many high-ranking senior officers had to act based on the traditional nobles' expressions. This situation was very common before the decline of the four nobles.
To allow a humble half-elf to be promoted to the high position of earl in just two years is the greatest irony to those traditional nobles who rest on their laurels and rest on their laurels. This is the face issue that nobles value most.
The titles of Quel'Thalas are divided into five levels: Duke, Prince, Prince, and Prince.
Viscounts and barons are both lower nobles.
The new nobles who have made outstanding achievements in the Troll War cannot inherit the hereditary title. After nearly 3,000 years of inheritance, most of the nobles have been downgraded to viscounts and barons, and only a few can retain the title of earl.
From the perspective of traditional aristocrats, the middle aristocratic class of earl is the dividing line between mud-legged people and real powerful people.
Once Sarlayan, a humble half-elf, is promoted to count, it will inevitably have a devastating impact on the arrogant beliefs that the traditional nobles have maintained for thousands of years.
Although judging from Sarlayan's continuous achievements, it is only a matter of time before he is promoted again.
But that's how people are, as long as they can still deceive themselves and others, even if it's just a few minutes late, they will willingly accept it.
After bargaining between the Sun King and the Silver Moon Council and the traditional nobles, it was such an official position that was finally awarded to Sarlayan.
A new legion that has not yet revealed its horoscope, the nobles are not optimistic about what success Sarlayan can achieve.
To take a step back, even if Sarlayan wanted to achieve great success in the army, he would not be able to do anything without money and supplies. At that time, he would not have to bow his head to the traditional nobles who control the money bag.
It's a pity that these nobles don't know yet that the Morning Frontier Legion is responsible for the Sun King's final political ambition.
Anastria wanted to rely on this powerful mobile force to completely drive out the Amani trolls that had been entrenched in Zul'Aman for many years before abdicating the throne.
Since this is a last ditch effort, the old king will certainly not be stingy with money.
He did not use the money from the treasury, but opened the inner treasury controlled by the Sun Chaser royal family and directly allocated the funds to the Morning Frontier Legion, hoping that they could form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.
There is a word in another world called poor literature and rich martial arts.
Soldiers of any profession need to consume a lot of food during increased and rigorous training, and the Morning Frontier Legion is no exception.
The money to buy these foods was provided by the royal treasury.
Not only food, but also weapons, armor, horses, and corresponding equipment required for training are all paid for by the inner treasury.
Without resources to worry about, Liadrin and other paladin reserves are making rapid progress, and all of them have completed the career transition from priest to paladin.
Recently, they started horseback riding training under the guidance of professional instructors.
As long as the power of the Holy Light can be combined with the cavalry's charging method, the Morning Frontier Legion will be initially formed.
Thanks to Sarlayan's (Barrage) fantastic idea, the old king had made all the preparations before the formation of the Morning Frontier Legion began, ensuring that the Paladin Legion could form an army in the shortest possible time.
After learning more details from Veles, Sarlayan did not hesitate for long and accepted the military position given to him by Anastria, and also accepted the corresponding tasks.
According to the latest information sent back from Shal'Alan after Prince Kael'thas consulted Farodin for his opinion, it will take about 4-5 months for Arcandor to mature.
These five months are the time left by the old king to Sharlayan. He must give the Morning Herald the ability to engage in actual combat before the time limit is reached, and display the power that the Paladin army should have in the local war against Zul'Aman.
The ability to rush into formation.
"There is still a long way to go..."
A few days ago, Sarlayan was still laughing at Vereesa for being so busy as a tool with no feet touching the ground. When she turned around, she realized that the clown was actually me?
Seeing Sarlayan's troubled expression, Veles smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "The territory development work can be left to Valeela first, and Melia can also provide some help...probably."
"First of all, you should fully assist the Morning Frontier Legion to complete their training, and provide a perfect curtain call ceremony for the Sun King who has been in power for more than 3,000 years."
"Huh~"
Sarlayan exhaled a long breath, and when he raised his head again, his eyes had returned to firmness.
"I understand. When I returned to Quel'Thalas this time, I originally intended to take power. Although the task of the Sun King is very difficult, this appointment comes at the right time."
"Including the time to defeat Zul'Aman, it only takes 5 months in total. The training time left for us is only about 3 months at most."
Sarlayan rubbed his eyebrows: "It seems that before the deadline is up, I can only live in the military camp and train hard, but before that..."
Villeless encouraged him knowingly: "Let's finish other things first and then come back for closed training. Try to seize the time as much as possible."
Sarlayan nodded solemnly: "I want to take Stella to the Wyrmrest Temple. Uncle, I will ask you to help take care of Valeera and the territory during this period."
"...I hope she and Melia haven't demolished the Unicorn Village when I come back."
"Uh~"
The corners of Velez's mouth twitched: "Okay, because Alyssa is pregnant, I have more free time during this period. In short, I will do my best."
