Chapter 280: often on the battlefield

Chapter 280 Always on the battlefield

There is a saying that war is always the most convenient way to build meritorious deeds.

In this war, not only Charlemagne was awarded the title of Duke, but generals such as Liadrin, Sylvanas, and Saladre also received their own awards.

The same is true for other countries in the alliance, and they also don't hesitate to give various rewards to those who have made contributions in this campaign.

The four commanders of Lordaeron's Silver Hand, Turayang willingly gave up his title to take over the post of Alliance Commander vacated by Lothar's retirement.

Uther, a single middle-aged man like an ascetic monk, gave up his title and continued to stay in Lordaeron as an officer of the Silver Hand. However, Terenas finally gave him a symbolic title to compensate him for his military achievements. the title of Lordship.

At the same time, Uther was appointed to teach the Way of the Holy Light to the now 12-year-old Prince of Alsace. Terenas hoped that Uther's noble sentiments could give his son some guidance...of course, on the bright side, as the king secretly The way of thick black will be taught by him himself.

Tirion Fordring chose to lead his wife and children to leave the royal city of Lordaeron to become a local lord. Terenas generously gave him a large fief... Although the location is very remote, the fief is located in the East Tirisfal Forest Hearthglen further north of the Northmountain Logging Camp.

Saidan Dathrohan was named the commander and deputy head of the Silver Hand by Terenas. His status in the knight order was second only to Uther. After Turalyon and Tirion left the royal city one after another, he And Uther became the heroes of all young Lordaeron.

In addition, Danath Trollbane, Darius Crowley and other alliance generals were also given corresponding rewards by their respective kings.

But Jin, the vengeful king, still clearly remembers Darius' disobedience, and Darius is also very dissatisfied with this king who always likes to shrink back. .

The worst thing was General Haas, the famous Alterac general who acted as the leader of the party to arrest his king. Although this old general never regretted his actions, the kings were very concerned about this critical moment. And the hound who betrayed and captured his master instinctively felt disgusted.

In the end, the old general was not reused, and he resigned from all military positions in frustration and went into seclusion. Anyway, now that the alliance army has taken over the entire Alterac, Haas has no soldiers to lead.

After the completion of the construction of the Watch Fort, Danas, who was tired of supervising the orcs, voluntarily transferred to the cursed land to guard the Dark Portal. Terenas couldn't wait for this, and personally replaced a general loyal to Lordaeron to take over this important task. .

However, according to Lothar's intelligence, Horde chief Orgrim led a small group of orcs to escape from the shelter in Arathi Highlands while the Lordaeron general was celebrating after the replacement of the watchman.

This incident made Terenas, who was still complacent just now, lose face. He strictly ordered the general named Garithos to guard the orcs strictly, and he would never forgive the orcs if there were any problems.

'Garithers... I didn't expect this guy to emerge so early. '

Hearing Lothar mention the shelter, Charlemagne remembered something, "Speaking of which, Dunholde Castle seems to have been transformed into a shelter, too?"

Lothar was a little strange to Charlemagne's sudden question, but he still replied kindly, "That's right, almost most of the shelters were built in Hillsbrad and Arathi Highlands, Dunholde as the original A prison has now been transformed into the largest shelter."

"Well... Anduin, do you remember the name of the person who manages Dunholde?"

Since Lothar has resigned from the post of commander-in-chief, everyone's address to him has also changed. At the request of Lothar himself, Charlemagne and other high elves who are much older than him simply call him by his first name.

Lothar lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned to his proud disciple Tulayan and asked, "I remember what it was called... Blackmoore?"

Turalyon nodded with a look of disgust, "Aedlas Blackmoore, originally a local nobleman in the Kingdom of Alterac, was the first group of lords who took the lead in turning to Lordaeron after King Aiden's accident. He is a typical Grass on the wall."

Charlemagne's eyes flashed brightly, "I don't know if Thrall was still adopted by this Blackmoore according to history, let's take a look at it..."

For Charlemagne, the existence of World Sa is still very necessary. Among the generally warlike orcs, the existence of such a dove can cool down the tribe at critical times.

Considering the troubled future of Azeroth, Charlemagne did not think about destroying the tribe in advance. After all, this political and military alliance with orcs as the main body will be the best cannon fodder to resist the Burning Legion in the future.

‘But the blood elves no longer exist, and the tauren was also dug over by me. How much combat power will the new tribe formed by Thrall have left? '

In fact, that's what Charlemagne thought. As long as the orcs can take root in Kalimdor, with their fertility rate no worse than that of humans, they will soon become a force that cannot be ignored in this land.

At least the number of orcs in the tribe was quite large before the brainless Roar got nervous and started the civil war, but after the Korkron guards were completely wiped out in the civil war... To be honest, Charlemagne has always been curious about how the tribe with a greatly reduced population can still forcibly 50-50 with the league?

You must know that the population of the Alliance has been on the rise under the leadership of High King Varian, and the tribe that broke its backbone can still fight against the Alliance in subsequent versions... Are you kidding me?

Shaking his head and returning to his drifting thoughts, Charlemagne continued to bring the little king Varian and a group of friends to experience the unique humanistic customs of Quel'Thalas.

The reward ceremony in the afternoon pushed the atmosphere of the celebration to a climax. Although the appearance of those upper-level noble officials who were about to cry when Charlemagne passed by made him very interesting, the cheers of the people really showed that They showed their admiration and love for the new Duke.

After all, in this war against the orcs, the high elves' army was operating under the command of Charlemagne almost all the way. The ultra-low battle loss rate and almost zero civilian losses made everyone remember this man who had been there before. The Duke of Theron who appeared for the first time in the reward ceremony.

After completing the reward ceremony, Kael'thas took the Flame Strike from Charlemagne's shoulder and suggested to him with a smile, "Duke Theron, go up and say a few words to the people."

Charlemagne sighed helplessly. He himself doesn't like to engage in these formalistic ostentations, but the new duke is also a rare product for Quel'Thalas. After all, no one has been awarded the highest title for many years. .

Charlemagne, who was used to the military formation, stood on the stage and looked down at the densely packed crowd with some emotion. Once upon a time, he would feel nervous even when speaking in front of his own citizens, but after many years, he would actually stand in the big square in front of the Sunstrider King's Court to speak to the crowd. Most of the citizens of Silvermoon City spoke.

"My fellow citizens, I am the newly promoted Duke Charlemagne Theron. In fact, many of you don't need to introduce me. After all, this is not the first time I have come to the court of the Sunstrider King to be sealed."

"Ha ha!"

Charlemagne's humorous self-deprecation under the blessing of the amplification magic made the high elves in the square laugh softly, and this less serious atmosphere made Charlemagne more used to it.

"This orc war is the most extensive war after the troll war. All countries and races in the entire eastern continent have been involved. Fortunately, under the leadership of Anduin Lothar, the last blood of Emperor Thoradin We won the final victory.”

Speaking of Charlemagne with a smirk, he pointed his finger at the conspicuous bald old man in the crowd. The Mediterranean old man Lothar suddenly became the focus of the crowd and couldn't help being stunned. An embarrassed smile waved to the high elves.

"However, the damage caused by the whole war to the mainland may be difficult to eliminate in a short period of time. These brutal orcs will still leave an impression on the compatriots who have seen it with their own eyes, right?"

Many high elves from various villages in the audience nodded with lingering fear. This bloodthirsty and chaotic race is hard for those who have seen them to forget easily. Battlefield areas such as Hillsbrad and the Hinterlands also Different degrees have been destroyed, and even the King City of Lordaeron needs to undergo some transformation and reconstruction.

"Everyone, don't think that everything will be peaceful after the war is over. According to the latest information, the destroyed portal of darkness still has a huge amount of energy left. Once someone activates it from the other side, this portal will continue to stay behind. Orcs from their own shattered world sent to our cherished Azeroth to invade, plunder and even kill!"

Charlemagne's words made the originally relatively relaxed atmosphere suddenly serious, and even Turalyon, Varian and others listened attentively to his next words.

"I heard a saying before that it is called always on the battlefield. I hope that my compatriots will not forget the lesson of the orc invasion and be ready for the next battle at any time."

"Here, let me make a promise to you first. The Amani trolls, the enemies of the high elves, I will completely eradicate them in the last two years, and completely turn the entire Eversong Forest into the territory of our Quel'Thalas. I want to get close Compatriots who watch the triumphant return of the army can come to Yuanxing Town as guests, and under the protection of the city wall, I guarantee that you will be extremely safe."

Kael'thas was taken aback when he heard this, then shook his head with a wry smile, 'This kid actually still doesn't forget to promote his territory on such an occasion. '

Charlemagne looked at the turbulent crowd below and finally concluded, "Okay, I believe you don't want to continue listening to my nonsense in this kind of celebration, I just hope that everyone can maintain vigilance against the outside world at all times in the future. "

Immediately, he changed the subject, showed a relaxed smile and waved to the audience, "But now...Everyone should enjoy this grand celebration first, eat and have fun, just be happy!"
