"Sorry, your highness, we did not protect this place as agreed." Sylvanas's deputy apologized to me with the 21-body left-behind ranger. Yes, it seems like a shame that they are living intact now. In addition, their failure to fulfill the responsibilities assigned to them by Sylvanas has aroused their guilt.

"Lorthema Theron, you don't need to explain. This is not your responsibility. You did it right, at least you protected your soldiers."

"Your Highness."

I answered softly, but it was exchanged for the bend of the Ranger's deputy general. Yes, even without the relationship between me and their head coach, his inner shame made them do this. After all, it was not just because of my identity, but because of the brothers and civilians who died behind me. Perhaps I had not expressed my meaning just now, so I turned my head and held his shoulder affectionately:

"I am not mocking you. I swear in the name of the Paladin that you are a good general. If you hadn't judged, the whole town and everyone would have been ruined!" I did not look at him but signaled him not to say anything, but turned his face and lowered his head in shame. "And I know that some things are not something you can control... it is my fault. I did not personally issue an order to those rigid guys that are responsible for!"

At this moment, when my brain thought of those knights, my anger couldn't help but increase to a higher level... At the same time, I couldn't help but become convinced. Perhaps after this incident, I could order them without Sylvanas's clear instructions. Of course, I was not in the mood to think like this at this moment.

They wanted to continue to comfort me, but were dissuaded by Sylvanas and only she took on this responsibility. Yes, she wanted to use her own knowledge and experience to make me more mature and stronger.

"Alsace, this is war, there are things we never expected, and I hope you are stronger in the face of these because I don't want to lose you."

Looking at the affectionate Sylvanas, I seemed to understand that the three sisters all hoped to stay with their loved ones. Yes, there were always some unexpected things in the war, and we already had the example of her elder sister before.

"So too! Because I don't want to lose you." I said as I took her deep into my arms again, while the others were tactful to arrange their own post-war affairs and to treat the wounded and civilians. At this time, it was really like the time when the alliance was most united, with elves and humans standing side by side to deal with difficult moments.

I think so, maybe they are also looking forward to the way we look a little familiar.

In this way, until the dust and smoke from the north floated here. Our actions ended, and all humans showed alertness, but the rangers were not like this, but they had already told us about the identity of these visitors in their contemptuous eyes...

The proud and arrogant cavalry were on their way. In front of them, we could not show my relationship with the Ranger in front of them. And Sasarien and Timi's family also came, and a seriously injured orc came. I felt that it was just right to use him to establish my prestige.

"What should I do if this living orc captive? Do you have to interrogate first?" Sasarien asked me, and when he saw the appearance of the whole town, he couldn't help but become serious, instead of his usual joyful appearance. He seemed to have experienced a fierce battle or saw the brutal side of the orc. I didn't think much about it, but decided to deal with the orc according to my loyal brain, and I knew that my behavior would definitely not be blamed by the personal guards, mages and elves.

"Let me do it." As I said, I walked towards a dying orc, pressing him to the ground regardless of his injuries. I knew this was a prisoner abuse, but who would care about this situation?

"Tell me how many orcs there are in Black Stone Mountain, and whether there are ogres and trolls." Before I could wait for him to say, I directly used the holy light to get the answer I wanted.

"Not a thousand... only orcs." The wolf knight replied in pain, but there was no way he could not lie.

"Very good." He couldn't help but smile at this, and then continued to ask excitedly.

"Then your leader, are the Black Hand brothers on the mountain?"

"yes…."

"Why are you robbing property?"

"In order to survive the winter, we dare not grow food on a large scale. Blackstone Mountain is barren and there is too little food."

"Then it's okay for you to rob food, why do you still take away and massacre the people here!"

"For the priest demon... they will come back soon... no one can escape." This time he smiled and intimidated me without passing the holy light. I couldn't help but think of a problem. Although no one believed what he said, I knew what he said might be correct. Perhaps my understanding inadvertently exposed my timidity as an outsider, so in order to save my face, I pretended to be angry and ruined his life.

And this scene happened to be surprised by the knights, the guys who were influenced by Uther's will, by my methods. After all, I am a paladin, and I will actually attack a wounded prisoner.

"How can you do this? Even if they commit a heinous crime, they should be tried before they can be executed!" The knights were very puzzled by my actions. Yes, they knew that I had taught him, so they should not do such a thing. But for this reproachful look, it is obvious that everyone present has more reason to face them.

"Are you still surprised that we are still alive, right? Or are you surprised that the villagers here are not dead?"

"Your Highness, that's not what I mean."

"Then what are you doing? I gave up my duty to guard civilians for a small group of enemies. I didn't let you obey Theron's orders." I said so and got the result I thought.

"That was the command of the elves, and you didn't speak." The captain of the knight was even looking at the ranger coldly while blaming him. This surprised me. Yes, this look was full of contempt. This should not be the look that the knights under the Silver Hand should have for their comrades, but I didn't care about this for the time being, but continued to scold them.

"Is General Sylvanas's order not an order? Her sister is the legendary hero Aurelia. No one doesn't think she is the hero of the league."

"I know, but even if her sister is alive, my official position is on par with her, let alone those who have left the alliance, she does not have that right."

Just when he was outside of me, Manic walked towards me and whispered to me his title. "He is General Garithers, the only heir to Lord Brill."

‘Gallithers?’ I immediately thought of his identity. I know a little bit about this guy hating the elves. And it was this guy who drove the blood elves to the tribe because of his arrogance and the Marshal who sent the last Lordaeron soldiers into compensation, or I could take this opportunity to belittle his position.

"Okay, we won't pursue this problem. Looking at these dead brothers and villagers, please give Uther a good report. Garythers, the future Lord, I hope you will also write your own report that your official position is greater than anyone we are present."

"Your Highness!"

Faced with my fierce words, Garithers finally knelt on the ground with guilt, but I knew that just this could not change this guy's understanding, but at this time I didn't want to bother with him, after all, my heart was also tired.

At this moment, one of his deputy seemed to find something that could change the topic.

"We caught several orc prisoners, did we get the news from them?"

"After we rest for one night, everyone will go to meet Uther." I said so, ignoring the knight, but I did not ignore his problem. I firmly handed the sword of mana back to the original owner, and gave the command to the captain of the guard whom I trust most. "There are no captives here."

Yes, my behavior and explanation of giving the sword to Manic, coupled with the matter he signaled to me at the end of the encounter this morning. I thought Falik knew very well what I meant, that is, to execute all the orc prisoners. He was also disgusted with the orc crimes, without hesitation. After signaling the adults to turn the heads of the children, he executed my order and cut off the heads of the orcs who were escorted back in an instant, so fast that they didn't even give them time to shout. Yes, this behavior was also a warning to those guys who thought they had identities. Since I could do things against the Holy Light, I would naturally choose other severe punishments.

"I think dinner tonight will be wolf meat." When Falik put away his sword, I signaled to everyone as if nothing had happened. Then, looking at the villagers who were full of expectations and awe of me, I realized that there was still a problem to be solved, so I immediately turned to Garithers, who was still alive. "After the war, I hope you can restore the town to their appearance, and have to care about their food and clothing. My Lord, no matter who it is, will eventually be responsible for his actions."

After the reprimand of him, I turned around and continued my respective tasks.

Although at this moment, my conscience seemed to have begun to condemn my behavior again, and rationality deeply reminded myself that I was wrong. Orcs also had reasons for the sake of the situation. They also sneaked into villages and towns to steal food for the sake of having enough food. They wanted to please the demons and give tributes for the sake of continuation. In our opinion, this motivation for survival is somewhat understandable.

If we look at the faith in the Holy Light, we should not have been executed like this.

But now that I have come to this point, I can't save anything. I have no choice but to speed up the marches to the camp, and for the sake of safety and the village here can no longer be threatened by orcs, I have to do this, which has established a reputation for this place. I believe that other creatures such as trolls and ogres will also be reduced a lot.

To make the civilians recover quickly, I also joined the action of treating them. The rangers also opened up the wolf skin and sewed clothes for the villagers. As for Garithers and their knights, these lords who treated their compatriots had no choice but to take the initiative to rest and rectify the damaged house.

Seeing this, I also seemed to realize a reality. This general did not seem to be as arrogant and disgusted as the side of the elves as I think, but also had the heart of a paladin. Otherwise, as the only son of the lord, he would not know how to travel around like other playboys. Instead, he led the way to participate in this battle like a paladin, and opposed my behavior towards the captive just now from the perspective of faith. There is no doubt that he also had a strong heart of holy light.

Thinking of this, I was not just too prejudice against him. But I would never be willing to approach this self-righteous guy because of this. Especially at the gesture of Sylvanas beside me, I saw one of his soldiers sneaking into the secret and riding to Uther's place. Yes, this guy must have arranged someone to sue me for the wrongdoing, and I seemed to be ready to deal with this.

Under the group patrolling of the visually sensitive ranger, we spent a night peacefully here. After fighting for a day, we were really tired after the great joy conveying the great sorrow. Tomorrow morning, we were about to set off, and it was still the same when we came. Two of us rode a horse. But because of the reduction in combat, I was able to ride a war horse alone.

Just as we were leaving, all the people in the town bid farewell to us, including Timi's mother Alicia, with his children.

"Will those people who have been abducted come back?" Just like history, Timmy walked in and asked me this question, which made me feel a little palpitation. Yes, reason told me that I had no idea whether I could fulfill his wish.

"Child, I can only do my best, but to be honest, I really can't promise you anything." I sighed and answered truthfully. As I was worried, I really can't give him a false promise. After gently patting his head and giving him a blessing, I led everyone to the south.

And just as he was walking like this, Sylvanas walked into my mount and asked me a question curiously.

"Why don't you give him a firm hope?"

"I was worried that I might not be able to fulfill this promise, so I could not deceive him against my conscience."

"Oh? Alsace, I didn't expect you to pay so much attention to your commitment."

"Of course, do you think my promises are all lying to you, Sylvanas?"

I asked back to my beloved, but she was not asking anything at this moment, but her faint smile seemed to have revealed her happy thoughts. Seeing her smile from her heart, perhaps this was the only good news in this guardian battle.

But for another thing, such as the orcs' invasion of demons, I was also wondering whether I could avoid this with my own strength. Thinking of this, my face returned to my seriousness.

Because of the rest, we arrived at the camp at noon, just as everyone was having a meal. It seemed that the war had not really begun.

However, when I appeared, Uther did not greet me at the door as last time, but came out of the tent to greet me when I came. Yes, this was enough to make me wary, and his extremely calm tone made me convinced that this meeting would not be so simple, and of course I didn't want it to be so simple either.

"Arsace, I heard about the Guardian War."

"Yes, it was a knight who told you last night! Sorry, I didn't bring the prisoners."

I also replied in an extremely calm tone, which made Ronin and Wenleza, who were ignorant of the truth, feel overwhelmed. They didn't expect that the quarrel with the coach began as soon as we met.

As they thought, we soon blamed each other with one word and one word.

"I hope you can do things on your own holy light, not on your own force!"

"I would certainly consider it if there weren't too many casualties from civilians and soldiers, but if not, then sorry!"

"Arsace, have you forgotten what I taught you, and you have forgotten the principles of a Paladin."

"Then master, on the battlefield, you should first think that you should be a general, not just a paladin. Because we are responsible for the life and death of soldiers and the country behind us! If all your people are dead, then tell him that the Holy Light is with him. Is it a bit exaggerated to say?"

"Alsace!"

"I'm here." I pointed to the direction of the village and town I had just arrived, and turned to the snitch mastermind, and Garithers gave a stern speech. "And my guards, mages and rangers, where are you and your knights, general, have you followed our reasonable advice?"

"We left the post without permission."

Under my aggressiveness, Lord Lord quickly admitted his mistake, and I was satisfied with it, and after that, I did not continue to ask him for details. Yes, all I wanted was this sentence, so that everyone thought he was disobeying my rational suggestions, and perhaps it was revealed on their bodies that were not bloody and damaged inscriptions, they did not participate in the guard battle. And even my comrades who had experienced the war with me would not feel that something was wrong with me saying this.

"Galisus! I feel ashamed of you!" In the end, the mentor did not point the finger at me, but the knights. After all, not executing orders in the army is much more serious than killing prisoners, and my crime of abuse of prisoners can also be reduced a lot, after all, that can be considered a special moment.

At this time, Garithers and his knights became the targets of Uther's rebuke, and they stood there and accepted Uther's reprimand without saying a word. But at this moment, two unmanned war horses appeared at the door of the camp, and I seemed to have thought of something about this. So I was angry and began to take the initiative to blame my master.

"You sent two excellent knights and orcs to discuss with each other." I questioned my mentor, and soon got his rhetoric.

"How do you know?"

"What else can this mean?" I pointed to the two war horses and continued to blame. "How could you think they would surrender and go and pay the lives of the two knights in vain."

"I hope to resolve this battle peacefully." Uther answered for granted, but I still kept revealing his old truth.

"That's why the orcs are rampant in Black Rock Mountain today? For this reason, we will devote our whole country to come here from afar and sacrifice the warriors to encircle these orcs?" I said the mistake he made, and Uther looked silent and silent. I knew it was time to implement my final plan, so I faced my master seriously. "General, let me command this final battle."

"But you have no experience in commanding wars on a large scale." As the master's deputy, Gawinrad, was the first to stand up and express his objection to me, but I obviously have a way to refute them as rigid Paladins like them.

"Yes, but I've experienced the battle at Lordaeron. I think that time is considered a large-scale battle." Looking at them nodding, I continued, and I made this example because I knew the rumors outside were the defenders I commanded back then... "Even if I don't have the experience of commanding large-scale battles, I just fought two pretty small battles. The reason for this is precisely because I know the advantages of everyone, so even if I don't have any points in coordinating the overall situation, I know who has the ability to help me complete this mission..." When I said this, I first glanced at Sylvanas. When she firmly gave me a look, I continued to approach Master Uther. Continue. "And who should I give power to command..."

This statement once, and my actions made the entire military camp quiet. One was the head coach and the other was the crown prince. With such an identity, our master-apprentice relationship, and the competition for the position of the head coach really made others unable to interrupt. The scene became so awkward at one time.

For this reason, in order to break the deadlock, I felt that only by continuing to hit their faults could he compromise with me. So I left my eyes on Garythers and added, "There are also everyone who needs to obey the orders!" Yes, this sentence still touched the bottom line of some rigid paladins.

"Okay, you will be the commander-in-chief, my Highness." Under the eyes of everyone, Uther was silent for a while and agreed to me. Maybe he originally planned to do this, just like the original history, but I took the initiative to seize power, but I still felt uncomfortable. But I didn't feel too ashamed and regretful. After all, the military quarrel with him was just the beginning, and there will definitely be more in the future, and before that, I must fight for more military rights...

After hearing what he said, I did not show any attitude. I took the initiative to enter the camp with Farik and Sylvanas and other people in the tent with the generals. Similarly, Wenleza and Ronin were also called up by me because I would have many questions to ask me, the most capable assistant.

"Roning, do you have any suspicious places here?"
To be continued...
