Chapter 50 The Wisdom of the Sun King
Regarding the Sun King's solicitation, although the four people's answers are somewhat different in details, their attitudes are generally the same.
First of all, Sean of the Morningwalker family. Due to the good relationship between the family and the royal family, it is of course impossible for him to run against Darkan.
Although due to his uncle's status as a member of the Silver Moon Council, he could not openly fall to Anasterian outside, but at this time he still expressed that he would resolutely support the authority of the royal family.
The same is true for Liadrin. Her family was originally a royal party loyal to the royal family. To support the royal family unconditionally is an education she has received since she was a child.
As the successor of the Ranger General who has been loyal to Quel'Thalas for generations, Sylvanas will not rush to follow Dar'Khan. She has the same attitude as her mother and firmly opposes any form of national separatism.
After all, in the 10,000 years since the founding of Quel'Thalas, the Sunstrider family has not made any major mistakes. Anasterian was also a wise and decisive king when he was young.
Although he became stubborn and refused to listen to persuasion after getting old, this is not an excuse for Darkan to rebel. The reason why that guy came to power is definitely not for the future of the high elves.
Charlemagne, who is familiar with history, also immediately expressed his support for the royal family, although he knew that Anastrian and Kael'thas would be known in the long river of history because of their deaths in the future.
But after coming to the real world of Azeroth, Charlemagne has learned not to blindly believe in history, otherwise why would he be a traveler?
Since we have crossed, we must try our best to change the things that should not have happened, and save those who died not worth it.
Since he has become a high elf, he should of course consider his own ethnic group, and his **** decides his head. If he is still foolishly abandoning his hometown and running to serve humans at this time, then he must be out of his mind.
In Charlemagne's view, although the current Sun King Anasterian has many faults, these are also caused by the lack of intelligence caused by the high elves' seclusion over the years.
The fate of Kael'thas was even more dramatic. The prince who was cornered had almost no choice. He still believed that he was for the people of Quel'Thalas until his death. The many blood elves willing to follow him can tell a thing or two.
Of course, Charlemagne did not approve of his behavior of running to seek refuge in Kil'jaeden. Using fel energy to relieve magic addiction is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.
In addition to being exiled by the Silvermoon Council and courting and being betrayed by a girl... Cough, Jaina refused. The prince who has been smooth since childhood still lacks some resilience.
However, none of these subsequent things have happened now, and it has been enough for Charlemagne to gradually turn the turning point of history and change the fate of the entire high elf for more than ten or twenty years.
Anasterian is very satisfied with the statements of the four people. These four people represent the future of the four forces respectively. magician.
Of course, saying that Sean represents the future of the entire Quel'dorei's arcanists is obviously flattering him, but with his current spirit of forging ahead, if he continues to work hard, he may not be able to become a member of the Silvermoon Council in the future.
Anyway...he still has an elder who is a member of parliament.
Once Sean expresses his intentions, the childless Osis will try his best to pave the way for him. As long as he is not too useless, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a councilor.
The king's private banquet was finally enjoyed by the four people because of their attitudes. After confirming the attitudes of the four people, Anasterian obviously became closer to them.
‘These are the mainstays of Kael’thas after he ascends the throne in the future...’
The Sun King also knew that his lifespan was not long. In order to prevent his son from being suppressed by the Silver Moon Council after taking over as king, it was also his duty as a father to pave the way for him in advance.
Taking advantage of Anasterian's good mood at this time, Charlemagne cautiously raised the question of the high elves' melee troops.
Sun King's eyes flashed when he heard Charlemagne's words, and then he returned to normal.
Charlemagne, who was keenly aware of this, was shocked. He felt that the Sun King might not be as completely insane as he had known before.
"Actually, I have considered this issue before. Some people in the Silver Moon Council also proposed to form our own melee troops, but in the end I rejected this proposal."
Anasterian said his original decision with a gentle smile, which made Charlemagne feel a little puzzled. When he was about to ask more questions, he was stopped by the Sun King.
"Charlemagne, please listen to me."
"Of course I know that the development of the high elves' army is deformed. I have fought side by side with humans before, and I know how important the front row occupation is, but..."
Speaking of this, Anasterian sighed sadly, "You haven't considered our population problem."
"Although our high elves have a long lifespan, nature always pays attention to balance. The price of a long lifespan is an extremely low fertility rate, and the profession of a warrior..."
Charlemagne finally understood the consideration of the Sun King after hearing this, and couldn't help interjecting, "It represents a high death rate!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he was rude, and hurriedly bowed his head to apologize.
Fortunately, the Sun King smiled indifferently, and waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to care.
"As you said, although the profession of warrior is very outstanding as a front row, it is not suitable for high elves. Our population is doomed that we cannot bear the high death rate of warriors."
"There was a saying before, I don't know if you have heard it, it is called heaven to the left and soldiers to the right. Although this statement is a bit extreme, it also shows the danger of soldiers to a certain extent."
The four of Charlemagne nodded in agreement. The warrior charged forward. If there were no priests and other healing professions to assist behind, rushing up would be nothing more than delivering food to others.
However, the number of priests of the high elves is really small, and it is impossible to support an entire army of warriors...
"In addition, our high elves are not physically outstanding compared to the dwarves, the tauren of Kalimdor, and even... our distant relatives, the night elves. Warriors are too much of a luxury for us."
When she heard Kalimdor, Cirvanas showed a puzzled expression, she had never heard of this name.
Sean and Liadrin's expressions changed, as if they had thought of something. These former Highborne children should have also been exposed to some secret information about Kalimdor and the night elves.
Charlemagne was thinking about the way out of the high elves at this time, and had been bowing his head in thought.
Cirvanas looked at the few people who suddenly fell silent, and asked his own question with some hesitation.
"Your Majesty... what are Kalimdor, Tauren and Night Elves?"
