Chapter 751: Increase the right to speak

As the Grand Duke of Stormwind and the Commander-in-Chief of the Alliance, Duke was definitely qualified to attend the coronation ceremony of the queens of the two countries. But sitting in a position parallel to the throne was quite exaggerated.

The moment he saw the seat, Duke realized that the chair, which was as tall as the king, was probably for him. He almost immediately decided that it was inappropriate!

In the huge tent that was set up temporarily, Duke went crazy as soon as the outsiders were driven out.

In front of the two queens, Duke asked directly: "What are you doing? Who is that chair for? Don’t tell me, you want me to sit on it!"

"Yes! It’s for you!" Sylvanas answered without hesitation.

Duke gritted his teeth and said, "Why? When the alliance was first established, the kings made a declaration that no commander-in-chief could be above the king. The commander-in-chief is only a coordinator, not a ruler!"

Sylvanas threw out an answer that Duke had never thought of: "Because you inherited the will of Alonsus Faol!"

"But, I’m a wizard!" Duke said with a constipated look.

"I asked Liadrin before. When you and I attacked together, the golden soul coin you produced should be the condensed will of the former Archbishop of Holy Light. Am I right?"

Duke... was speechless!

Beside them, Calia began to sing a duet: "Why did the invasion of the Scourge come so swiftly? Did Lordaeron and Quel’Thalas collapse so easily? Why did the Church of the Damned infiltrate the upper echelons of the two kingdoms so easily? The prince of Lordaeron was once corrupted!"

Sylvanas added: "The king of Quel’Thalas has also fallen! And so have Dar’Khan and other members of the Silvermoon Council!"

Calia continued: "Doesn’t this just show how much harm the lack of faith has caused to the world? So after the two of us discussed it, and after a vote by the top leaders of the two countries, we unanimously passed a decision - from the day we ascended the throne, in order to fight against evil and to purify ourselves, the two countries will adopt the Holy Light Church as the state religion and vigorously promote the training of priests and paladins."

Sylvanas said again: "At the same time, our two countries will also select elite troops and give them to you to command to deal with the upcoming crusade against Archimonde!"

What they said made so much sense that Duke was speechless!

If they wanted to push Duke out like this from a private perspective, Duke would refuse no matter what. The problem was that Duke had indeed inherited Alonsus’s integrity, and there was no way to deny it. You know, before the Archbishop died, he was the last person to see the Archbishop.

At that time, all the clergy in Stratholme saw the Archbishop give Duke a copy of the Holy Light inheritance. Of course, the position of the Archbishop of Holy Light was passed on to Uther.

This is also the problem, because the Holy Light doctrine pursues selflessness and dedication too much, which is actually in conflict with the interests of the nobles. This has led to King Terenas, who is bent on seeking territory, intentionally or unintentionally suppressing the Holy Light Church in the past ten years. Even though Uther is the Archbishop of the Holy Light, when Uther and Arthas clashed, Terenas, who believed that the king’s power was greater than the divine power, directly demoted Uther.

With Uther being killed by Arthas in the Lordaeron Palace, the position of Archbishop was once again vacant.

Nowadays, there are quite a few people who have inherited the Paladin’s legacy, but all of them are fighters. There is not a single one who can truly represent the will of Holy Light in an all-round way.

If we lift Duke up from this perspective, it’s not impossible.

Calia added fuel to the fire: "Duke, just agree. Now both countries are experiencing a wave of crazy revenge, and I think it is necessary to properly guide this hatred. Moreover, Mograine, Abendis, and Dathrohan all believe that you, who have the true inheritance of Archbishop Faol, can indeed represent the will of the Holy Light."

At this time, Ilucia, who had been following Duke silently, tricked Duke: "Turalyon and Windsor also agreed."

Sylvanas narrowed her eyes and said, "Liadrin, who is about to form a Paladin Order in our country, also thinks you are suitable."

Duke suddenly realized that he had been sold out by his own women. If he didn’t stand up, the bloody crusade trend might really rise again.

Throughout history, countless historical facts have proven that fanatics are doomed to have no good end.

Extremists will never receive support from the general public precisely because of their extremism.

Now that he had saved Mograine and Abendis, he would not be able to forgive himself if he allowed them to go back to their old ways.

Duke scratched his head. "Okay, you guys convinced me. Although in a way that I kind of hate..."

In the big tent, the three women showed happy expressions at the same time.

Ilucia smiled and said, "Have you finished your business?"

Now that official business is done, it’s time to turn to personal matters.

Suddenly, the two queens who had been so majestic just now both had a bit of a cowering expression. Of course, Queen Calia’s reaction was a bit bigger.

Knowing she couldn’t avoid it, Calia stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Sorry! This time I was the one who suggested doing this first."

Sylvanas interjected calmly, "But I agreed."

If you agree, you will be an accomplice. Sylvanas is loyal.

Duke put his hands on his hips and said, "I just don’t understand, what on earth are you trying to achieve by doing this?"

Calia looked up. "I just want to tell you, and the world, that the two of us and the kingdom behind us all support you unconditionally."

"Have you considered the reactions of other kingdoms when you do this? What will Magni think? What will Daelin think? What will Varian think?"

"No, I think they will value your voice more. Now the demon commander of the Burning Legion has arrived. According to Medivh’s prophecy, more world-destroying crises will befall Azeroth. What we need is a more united alliance, a single, correct voice!"

Duke certainly knows that his future actions will be correct. After all, the general trend is still moving in that direction. He is also sure that most of his opinions are correct. But at this point, is the alliance still an alliance?

Duke couldn’t help but feel confused.

Ilucia spoke up: "Duke, you haven’t been here for the past ten years. So you don’t know how serious the internal disputes and internal frictions in the Alliance have been during this period of time. If it weren’t for Stormwind Kingdom and Ironforge, the Alliance would have almost withdrawn the army of Nethergarde and cancelled the monitoring of the orcs and fire elementals in the Burning Plains and Scorching Gorge."

"Asshole! You’re asking for death!" Duke was furious.

Sylvanas blinked: "So, we did this to give you more say!"
