The specifications and procession of the funeral can be said to be extremely honorable, but Faao's funeral is far from a grand funeral. Because according to Faao's will, his tomb was very crudely built.
When looking at Fao's body, many people were not so sad because there was no difference between a well-preserved body and a sleeping body.
But when they saw Faao's coffin being buried under a shovelful of soil, people finally realized that Faao had left them forever.
All of Faol's disciples burst into tears, but Uther was the first to stop crying and persuade the others in a low voice.
"The teacher thought about life in the last period of time. He asked us not to be sad all the time. Death is the process of being forgotten. Everyone is destined to be forgotten. It is just a difference in the length of time. There is no difference between a grand burial and a hasty burial.
."
In the midst of the sadness, the last part of the funeral began.
A group of disciples headed by Uther received those who came to worship at the tomb.
Memorial services during funerals are limited to those within the human race, but worship at burials is not limited to any race.
Such as Talanji, the representative of Zandalar, Kael'thas Sunstrider, the representative of Quel'Thalas, Muradin Bronzebeard, the representative of Ironforge...
These foreign envoys did not attend the memorial service, but came here with the funeral procession after the coffin was lifted.
Looking at these foreign envoys, Terenas was thankful that these people were not present at the previous memorial service, so that they would not have to witness the scandals within the human race with their own eyes.
"Princess Talanji, you also come to pay homage to the Archbishop."
Together they placed a bouquet of white flowers in front of the grave, and Li De asked.
"Although we didn't have much contact, the Archbishop helped Zandalar back then. He is a respectable person."
The two of them walked and chatted, making room for the people behind them, and then walked to the side before Talanji asked again.
"The Dark Portal has been opened. How does the Alliance plan to respond? Zandalari is very concerned about this."
Since the establishment of the consulate in Lordaeron, Zandalari has sincerely felt the convenience. The biggest benefit is that it has finally established a stable intelligence station in the north of the kingdom's continent.
In the past, it was difficult for Zandalari to interfere here. Excellent trolls from various tribes relied purely on luck to learn orthodox Loa knowledge. In history, many trolls groped on their own and traveled across the ocean to find their way to Zandalari.
.
During this period, how many trolls died on the road to conflicts with other tribes? They managed to survive many hardships and dangers, but were buried under the waves. Compared with them, Zul'jin is already one of the lucky ones.
Now that there is a consulate in Lordaeron, Zandalari can absorb outstanding trolls from various ministries through formal official channels. At the same time, Zandalari can also send relief supplies to some poor trolls through sea ships.
Although various trolls still often conflict with other races, the situation is much better than before. Terenas is also happy to see this, because Zandalari has made those poor trolls much more comfortable.
As for whether Zandalar will collude with various trolls to conspire to overthrow the Alliance, Terenas also has a huge intelligence department, and he is confident that everything is under his control.
Soon the entire process of the funeral was over, and people stood outside the low fence to express their condolences for the last time before returning to Lordaeron, leaving only a tombstone that was only knee-high.
As Fao himself said, there is no difference between a grand burial and a hasty burial. The deceased has to endure loneliness, whether it is a shabby tombstone or a luxurious statue.
Terenas boasted that everything was under control, but he was slapped in the face just after returning to Lordaeron.
While everyone was attending the funeral, the orc prisoners in the city rioted!
Orgrim, who was imprisoned in the dungeon, escaped from the cell, released Kilrogg Deadeye and a dozen orcs, injured many guards and escaped from the city of Lordaeron!
Moreover, Red, Maimu, and the ogre Cho'gall, who were not on Orgrim's conspiracy to escape, all took advantage of the chaos and ran away!
Fortunately, the garrison in Lordaeron responded quickly. These fugitives were eager to escape and did not harm civilians. They just caused panic in the streets and stormed out of the city gates.
Worried about the safety of the city, the officers in charge of the city defense only sent a few teams out of the city to pursue them, leaving the majority of the troops in the city to protect civilians and suppress most of the remaining prisoners.
Terenas returned to Lordaeron, and his face turned pale with anger when he learned about this. It was because of his kindness that he spared the lives of these prisoners. Unexpectedly, these orcs were not grateful at all and broke out of prison!
"Your Majesty, this is all because of my negligence! Those damn orcs escaped from Lordaeron. Please punish me severely for my dereliction of duty!"
The Lordaeron warden knelt on his knees in front of Terenas, took off his helmet and put it aside, revealing his thick black hair.
Terenas clenched his fists tightly, then let go of his hands after a long time, and said with a long sigh.
"Get up, Garithos, it's not your fault.
It was the lax guarding of the cell that allowed the number one prisoner, Orgrim, to escape. When these prisoners ran to the streets, the situation was no longer under your control.
On the contrary, you can quickly stabilize the situation and focus more on protecting the safety of the royal city. This has been done well.
If I punish you for this, it would be a dereliction of duty on my part. Just because something like this happened, I can't reward you. It's been decided, you can go down."
Garithos stood up. He was only about thirty years old, but he had already grown a beard that was thicker than his hair, and it was trimmed into a sharp shape like a shovel, showing his fortitude.
character.
"No! If you don't punish me, it will only make me uneasy. I request to resign as the general of the royal city and become a patrol captain. I will personally capture these orcs!"
Terenas knew that Garithos had a stubborn character. His father died in the invasion of the orcs. If he could not meet his request to hunt down the orcs, it would definitely dampen the enthusiasm of this excellent general.
"Well, since you want to lead the troops outside...the troops in the East Wilder area are weak, I will appoint you to return to your hometown of Blackwood Lake to organize an army and hunt down all the orcs."
This appointment suited Garithos's wishes, and he solemnly bowed to Terenas and retreated.
"Everyone, the situation is developing in the worst direction."
After watching Garithos leave, Terenas looked sad.
"The orcs are making a comeback, and their warchief escaped from prison at this time. We must re-form a powerful alliance army to deal with the new war."
It has not been a year since the end of the last Orc War. How could people forget the ferocity of the Orcs? Soon everyone united.
The joint meeting held in Ironforge a month ago provided Terenas with ideas. This representative organizational model was deeply liked by Terenas.
Opinions can be gathered through level-by-level representation, and there is no need to worry about over-representation when making decisions.
Compared with the high-pressure dictatorship and the quarrelsome parliamentary system, this system has huge advantages.
Of course, Terenas is determined to do this because he is dissatisfied with the current alliance.
After the war, he gave up on annexing Alterac because he hoped to abandon geographical unification within the human race and achieve political unification.
However, the post-war alliance could not fulfill his wish. Dai Lin instituted new economic rules. Although they nominally respected his leadership, they had a high degree of autonomy.
After Lothar took control of Alterac, he acted as he pleased and became a de facto independent kingdom.
Terenas originally wanted to take advantage of the orcs' comeback to let Lothar leave Alterac and regain military power. However, the nobles in Alterac were too unbearable, let alone posing any real threat to Lothar.
No one cares what their names are now.
Especially now facing Lothar who has regained his youthful vitality, Terenas knows better than to confront him roughly. He needs to rely on the power of the system to become the true leader of the alliance.
So at Terenas' suggestion, a three-person committee was established among the leaders of the alliance, consisting of Terenas, Antonidas and Lothar, with Terenas serving as the chief.
This appointment is very particular. These three are overall higher than other leaders in terms of ability and prestige. With the three of them forming the supreme committee of the alliance, no one will object.
There were more or less minor differences regarding who should serve as chief, but Antonidas and Lothar unanimously expressed their support for Terenas.
So the current alliance is still called the Alliance of Lordaeron.
The first decision that Terenas made after becoming chief was whether Li De and his Hanhai Protector should formally join the alliance.
