…………

The Crusade was led by several leaders at the same time. There were two thousand troops stationed in Hearthglen, and tens of thousands in Tyr's Hand and Havenshire.

In this army, leaders are selected not just for their rank in the war, but more importantly for their dedication to the cause. Those who are not passionate about destroying the undead are almost impossible to achieve high military ranks.

Many veterans who had fought against the undead before were promoted.

l. Any dissatisfaction with the current military rank arrangement will be considered to be caused by the infiltration of the undead, because the Crusaders cannot understand that a rational human being would be dissatisfied with the cause of eliminating the undead. Anyone with such objections will be considered an undead

He was even criticized as a crazy advocate of the undead.

Because of this, in the eyes of many people, the organization of the Scarlet Crusade is pure, and all members are working wholeheartedly for the common goal.

Lyraine and Ka'Sa thought so before, but now they are beginning to feel frightened by the Crusader uniforms they wear. The Cathedral of the Holy Light in Hearthglen is no longer a place where devout believers pray to the Holy Light, but more like

It is a place of execution. The word alien comes from there. Grand Inquisitor Isenlion has executed several people who questioned the Crusaders' ideals.

"I'm being driven crazy, Lyraine. Maybe we should talk to Lord Maxwell, he's one of the few people who's still sane right now."

Leryan threw a piece of wood at the stove, "I can understand that you would think so, Kai'Sa. But you must not forget what happened to Lord Tirion Fordring."

"Is it what everyone else says? Because Lord Tirion followed his heart, should he be exiled? Because he questioned the Crusaders' abuse of other races, should those people be executed?"

"I just want to protect your safety, Kai'Sa." Lalane looked at the girl beside him excitedly, but he still didn't dare to yell out.

"I don't want to live like this. If I continue to pursue the path of the Crusaders, I'm afraid that I will lose the favor of the Holy Light. Aren't you afraid?"

The paladin was silent. The firelight in the room illuminated the dark red-covered book "Humanity: The Carrier of the Holy Light" on the bookshelf. Lelane had read this book written by Ethan Lean with fear.

The above content is full of racial discrimination and blind worship of the Holy Light.

"I'm scared, Kasha. So... let's run away!"

Kai'Sa's eyes seemed to be shining brightly as she looked at Lyraine, "Really? But... why did you change so quickly?"

"Nothing?" Lyraine shook his head, "I just thought of our friend, Nathanos. I haven't heard from him for a long time. Since he went to Quel'Thalas..."

He said no more, and Kaisha knew that what he originally wanted to say was: since he went to Quel'Thalas, it didn't take long for Arthas to capture the elven kingdom.

"May the Holy Light bless him. I hope we can meet again."

"Okay! I messed up the atmosphere again." Lerain looked apologetic.

Kasha also smiled at him, "Maybe we should think about where to go after leaving here. I think following Lord Maxwell is a good idea, but I think you have a better idea?"

"Stormwind City!" the Paladin said: "We should go to Stormwind City. Today, the Alliance only has two places left, Kul Tiras and Stormwind City, that have not been invaded by the undead. We don't have a boat, so we can only hope to travel through mountains and rivers.

Go south."

Too far! Kai'Sa originally wanted to object, but when she looked into Lelane's eyes, she felt the confidence of her companion, which also gave her strength.

"Okay, but we have to prepare in advance."

Lelane nodded slowly, it was time to prepare well. They had to hide from the sight of their fellow Crusaders; they had to find the fastest way to the south; and they had to avoid the undead as much as possible.

…

Stormwind City, this ancient and majestic human city, was devastated in the war and looted by the orcs. In the end, the Alliance repelled the invasion and recovered the lost territory.

Everything is recovering, everything is on the right track. Stormwind City has resumed maritime trade since a few years ago.

"Harv!"

"What's the matter, Stephen?"

"You seem to have told me that there is a third force in Stormwind City dedicated to maintaining peace." Nathanos's cousin Stephen was standing on the transport ship heading to the city he was talking about. He met a new person.

My friend's name is Harf, a young soldier who participated in the Battle of Mount Hyjal.

"Yes, it is an assassin organization. Those who know it call it MI7."

Stephen's expression began to become complicated. The assassins he knew from his experience were evil people who violated the law by their own will or the will of others. But it was obvious that what Harv said about MI7 was different.

.

"I have been to many places, but...it seems that only Stormwind City has an official assassin organization."

"Some difficult problems cannot be dealt with under the principles of Holy Light, so organizations like MI7 are needed."

Stephen couldn't understand what this meant. To help him, Harv gave an example.

"What would you do if your cousin became the embodiment of evil?"

"This is impossible!" Stephen objected. He locked his gaze on the sea to prevent Harv from seeing the anger gradually rising in his eyes. Nathanos was not only his family, but also the person he admired most. Every day

When anyone asked him about his cousin's heroic deeds, he would talk for hours.

"I said if, if! Do you understand?"

"I don't know." Stephen replied irritably. He really didn't know what to do. Who would think about such a question?

"Do you want to convince him through the teachings of the Holy Light?"

"Maybe." Stephen nodded. He could already see the port of Stormwind City, but why wasn't the ship faster? This way he could end this topic earlier.

"So do you think this is feasible?"

Stephen had reminded himself not to care about Harv's problem, but he still couldn't help but think about it. He didn't think he could make Nathanos change anything, and his cousin didn't respect the Holy Light like others. If

He has truly become an evil being, and I am afraid that the Holy Light cannot save him.

"No." Stephen turned his head to look at Harv, and his hidden anger disappeared.

"Since we can't make him change his ways, we can only eliminate him, right? But your cousin is a hero of the Second War. If the news of his depravity spreads, then for people, such as you, there will undoubtedly be

It’s a huge blow. At this time, extraordinary measures must be used.”

"So... assassination is an extraordinary method?"

…………

'If I become undead, I would rather kill myself than let others see my twisted state.'

The words of the female elf and the appearance of the female elf kept making his emotions alternate between pain and joy. Alleria didn't want to see him like this, but she was pregnant. Nathanos would think about it every time he thought about it.

Full of hope, otherwise he would have built a coffin and buried himself.

After leaving Quel'Thalas, Nathanos passed Marris Farm on his way, but he did not stop. Instead, he continued westward, bypassing Andorhal, and headed to the southernmost tip of the land. Returning to Lordan

After London, Nathanos investigated and found Uther's tomb.

In the Ridge of Regret in the south. He wondered why those who collected Uther's body would bury him here. Is the name of this place intended to remind those who killed Uther to repent for their sins, or is it a satire on Uther's religion?

A student like Alsace?

Because of the presence of the human army in Hearthglen, the Scourge of the Undead has not been able to completely occupy the entire east side of Silverpine Forest. But for Nathanos, now both the undead and the living are his enemies.

Encountering no unnecessary battles along the way, Nathanos avoided the human soldiers wearing crimson armor. Their patrol frequency was several times higher than that of the previous Knights of the Silver Hand. This "enthusiasm" was wasted.

Nathanos quite a bit of time.

"This is it!" Nathanos raised his head to look at the tomb on the slope. There are many tombstones around, those who died fighting against the undead. The tomb is not solemnly built, and the white stone pillars are not carefully carved.

.The most central thing is that there are no traces of anyone coming to pay homage here. The only sign that proves that this is the place where Uther is buried is the statue of him.

Nathanos has not seen Uther for a long time. Although he is just an immobile statue, he still looks so serious. He is holding a book in his left hand and his war hammer in his right hand. He holds his head high.

Looking up, always monitoring all dangerous factors that threaten Lordaeron.

"Long time no see, mentor." Nathanos said to the statue. He squatted down and meditated for a while. Then when he was about to leave, he realized that there was no nameplate here. He searched for a long time, and there was indeed no nameplate.

Uther is an elder who is respected by others and a hero who protects the kingdom. His graveyard is just shabby, how come there is not even a nameplate?

"Let me do something for you."

Nathanos found a small stone tablet that was easier to carve and had a square shape, placed it under the statue, and then used the knife he carried with him to carve out one sentence:

Uther the Lightbringer rests here

The first Paladin and the founder of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

Uther swore to defend the Kingdom of Lordaeron to the death. Although his most beloved student betrayed him, we believe that his soul will live forever. Even if misfortune befalls our homeland, he is still paying attention to us. His light will illuminate all

The path forward for mankind - as long as we continue to follow his example, it will never disappear.

…

Nathanos originally wanted to carve his name under these words, but when he saw the skin on his hands, he was shaken.

Do you want an undead to evaluate the Lightbringer?

"I am no longer worthy of standing with you, mentor. I... really envy you!"
