It didn't take long for the judge and jury to end their discussion. Everyone's faces were filled with expressions of anticipation and relief. Although they didn't know the specific outcome of their discussion, Fording's treason was no matter what.

It is impossible to establish guilt...

A boss attacking a subordinate. In Azeroth, where the judiciary is not yet strict, to be honest, it’s just a matter of one sentence. You can say it’s because the subordinate is disobedient, or you don’t like him, so this is not a matter at all.

It's no big deal~

As for protecting the orc Eitrigg, that is better explained. As a paladin, Fording was saved by Eitrigg. Feeling his noble spirit, he made a promise to him, and the paladins are all the same.

An honest and trustworthy gentleman who spits out nothing but sticks to his word! Fording did this just for the sake of honor and to abide by the Paladin's code...

After all, killing the savior, even if he is an orc, is still a disgraceful act in the eyes of the Paladin...

All in all, this matter can be big or small. At the most serious level, Fording can be executed directly on the charge of treason. At the most minor level, he can simply apologize and assure everyone that he will not do it again in the future.

And the most interesting thing is that everyone present...everyone except Barsselas hopes that this matter can be reduced to a big deal, a trivial matter...so the result of the verdict is naturally obvious...

Under great expectations, Uther came back again, watching Fording nodded gently, but the expression on his face was unexpectedly solemn...

"Paladin Fordring! Everyone here knows your courage and courage, as well as the justice in your heart! This court also fully recognizes your contribution to the defense of Lordaeron and the Alliance all year round.

.But despite this... It is very dangerous to work with the enemy, even if he has human nature! In order to protect the orc, you took a lot of risks, and even risked the entire fireplace with your personal guesswork and willfulness.

Vale and even the safety of the Alliance! Considering your merits, this court is prepared to provide you with an amnesty... As long as you reverse your oath to the orc... As long as you swear loyalty to the Alliance! Re-recognize your obligations to the Alliance,

You will be acquitted!"

After hearing the verdict, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. What a tolerant trial it was... To others, this result was basically equivalent to an acquittal.

But Clara, who was sitting in the audience, frowned slightly and said seriously, "That's not good... With Fording's character, it's impossible for him to be willing to give up his vows."

Clara knew that Fording would not agree easily, and as Fording's colleague, friend and partner, Uther certainly knew this too...

After hearing the results of Uther's trial, Fording slowly raised his head and looked at Uther, who had a serious face but a faint look of pleading in his eyes. After a moment of silence, Fording slowly said

He asked, "What will happen to Eitrigg, Uther..."

The expression on Uther's face froze slightly. Although he had expected this, when Fording really put this problem in front of him, Uther still felt helpless...

"He will be executed! Regardless of whether he has glory or not, whether he has humanity or not, he is essentially an invader of Azeroth, and we have no reason to let him go. His death is a matter of course!

Tirion, what is your answer?"

Fording lowered his head gently, as if he began to recall something, like his family, like his past glory, but no matter what it was, these memories became an important factor in determining his answer...

Raising his head again, Fording looked at the stage, looking forward to his own gaze. He looked at Dathrohan who looked anxious, looked at Uther who was still expressionless, looked at...sitting in the corner, Rao

Interesting ashes…

Clearing his throat, Fording turned his attention to the jury. It was said to be a jury, but in fact they were all high-ranking leaders in the alliance...

Looking at these powerful people who could fully represent the Alliance, Fording knelt on the ground and said sincerely, "I will still guarantee my loyalty to the Alliance until the day I die. There is no doubt about this!"

As soon as Fording finished speaking, a roar of cheers came from the venue. Only Ashes and the others could not laugh... They could guess that Fording would say this, and his loyalty to the alliance was astonishing.

But…

Before the cheers ended, Fording suddenly continued to speak, looked at everyone seriously, and said sincerely, "But I will not overturn my past oath, even if the object is an orc! Doing so will make me abandon everything I have.

Abandon my glory, abandon my holiness, but this is the only thing I can’t do!”

The cheers stopped abruptly, and Uther slowly closed his eyes. This result can be said to be the worst result of the current situation, and it is also the result that he expected, and it will almost definitely be the result now...

Everyone was silent, but at this moment Barcellas laughed, very softly, so happily, so... annoying!

As a matter of course, Ashes looked at the determined Tirion Fordring, sneered and said slowly, "Okay, the result is obvious, he will not be executed, but... there will definitely be corresponding punishment, this guy...

You can be really stubborn! Hehehehe..."

Clara rolled her eyes helplessly, "Aren't you the same kind of person, little Hues? You are stubborn, and no one can stop you from what you decide... You still have the nerve to accuse others?"

"That's why I appreciate this guy a little! Just think of it as an opportunity! See what kind of punishment he will suffer, and then make plans!"

Fording will not die, this is a certainty, so there is no need to do things like rob the law field, and Clara can be considered relieved.

Looking at Fording's determined eyes, Uther nodded slightly at him, and shouted sadly, "In this case! Then you will accept the punishment! Tirion Fordring, from now on, in Silver

You are no longer welcome in the Knights of the Hand. You are no longer fit to bask in the grace of the Holy Light. I hereby expel you from our ranks!"

Everyone present was shocked by the punishment proposed by Uther. This was not a simple double-opening, expelling the Holy Light's team. The most important thing was to deprive him of the Holy Light flowing in his body!

According to legend, this punishment was only carried out a few times, but all paladins were extremely afraid of this punishment, fearing it just like mortals fear death.

Ignoring the shocked crowd, Uther slowly stretched out his hand and pointed at Fording. A golden light flashed, and the holy light was expelled from Fording's body. All the power and blessings were evaporated by Uther.

Ther was expelled from Fording's body.

The energy of blessing was already an indispensable part of Fording... Now, these powers disappeared from his body, as if they had never been there before.

Although the holy light still shone on him, Fording felt as if he was wrapped in darkness and fell into endless annihilation. Unable to withstand the despair and loss that was raging throughout his body, Tirion

Bowing his head in painful despair.

Looking at the absent-minded Fording, Uther continued without mercy, "All the armor and clothing of our organization must be removed from you! There are also personal titles and rights to control." As soon as he finished speaking, several saints

The knight walked up and took off his silver armor and white shirt from Fording's body...

Fording struggled with despair. He had never felt so empty and weak in his life. The images of his wife and son floated into his painful consciousness.

Thinking of his wife and children, he had to consider his dignity. Supporting his shaky legs, Fording stood and faced the court again.

"You will be exiled from these kingdoms and spend the rest of your life in the wilderness of the world. May the Light have mercy on your soul," Uther finished.

The King of Lordaeron, Terenas Menethil, who was sitting on the jury, slowly stood up with the support of his dutiful son, looked at Fordring below, and shook his head in disappointment.

"Although it is contrary to the verdict I expected, this is a divine judgment, and we will abide by it... Paladin Barthras took over as the regent of Hearthglen, effective immediately. Barthras remains here to monitor the orcs

to be hanged, and then return home to fulfill his duties. As for the exile, Tirion Fordring was to be escorted back to Mardenhold Castle. There, he could pick up his family and then be escorted to Alliance territory.

frontier."

Uther watched Terenas mercilessly declare that there was no room for turning around, and slammed his armored fist on the table. Uther's eyes were full of loss, and he stared at

Looking at Fording, he was obviously disgusted with the outcome of the trial.

"Wait...I...I have one last question," Tirion managed to say.

Uther looked at Fording who was lying on the ground, slowly stepped forward, and helped him up. "Tell me, my friend, what is your problem?"

"My wife and son...are they going to be exiled too? Will my sin ruin their lives just as much as they have sinned?" Tirion asked tremblingly.

Uther lowered his head sadly. The man in front of him was a good man. This is not the treatment a hero deserves...even if he made a mistake...

"No, Tirion. They can stay in Lordaeron if they want to. This is your crime, not theirs. They should not be punished for your arrogance..."

Before Uther could finish speaking, a powerful force pressed heavily on his shoulders, causing him to stop speaking.

Civilians may not be aware of it, but people with power and high-ranking people can detect this momentum. Following this intimidating momentum, those who noticed this turned their sights to the people not far away.

Above the auditorium…

I saw Ashes staring at Uther with an extremely serious look and said, "I don't care how you judge him, but whether his behavior is right or wrong, it can never be called arrogance! When Fording stood here,
