Volume 3: Tides of Darkness Chapter 144: The Three Major Factions of Lordaeron
System prompt: You have obtained a new heroic specialty - Destroyer.
Murphy closed his eyes and felt the new power. To be honest, it seemed that nothing had changed.
How do these specializations work? It's kind of magical.
The fleet continued to move southward. During the next few days of the journey, they did not encounter any danger. Every day they faced the endless ocean and occasionally encountered some strange marine creatures.
Arthas was happily playing with his "Joy of Fire". He had studied under a swordsmanship master in the palace of Lordaeron in his early years, and had only started to practice martial arts with Muradin in the last two years, so he had quite a bit of understanding of swordsmanship.
Tianxiu would often teach him some moves, and Murphy would occasionally see the two of them sparring with each other. It turned out that Arthas's swordsmanship was not inferior to Tianxiu's at all.
Although there may be some possibility of letting him off the hook, it can also be seen that Arthas is worthy of being the chosen one. Even at the age of twelve, his powerful fighting talent has already begun to show.
As for the fact that Murphy had obtained the legendary weapon, everyone on the ship soon knew about it.
"Wow, brother, you are so awesome. You actually managed to snatch the sword from Arthas!" Sigrit and Darabonba were both envious.
Murphy felt helpless towards his two brothers. This was the third time they had brought up this matter today.
"I say, enough is enough. What do you mean by snatching it away? It was clearly destiny. As a natural born king, I accidentally pulled out the sword. How can that be called snatching? If I had no right to do so, I wouldn't have been able to pull out the sword. Don't you agree?"
Dara Bangba: "Okay, okay, brothers all understand, you don't need to explain anything."
Sieglet: "Ah, if I had known there was such a good thing, I would have jumped into the sea too."
Murphy was speechless, so he left on the pretext of investigating the losses of other warships.
Although the Alterac fleet won this battle, it suffered heavy losses. Three warships were sunk in the battle, two of which were destroyed by the sea monster. This legendary creature is truly an unstoppable existence on the sea.
Four more were badly damaged and needed major repairs, and the other warships also suffered more or less damage.
The loss of soldiers and sailors exceeded a thousand.
However, these losses are worth it if Arthas can be saved.
You have to know that Arthas is the future king of Lordaeron and the beloved of Terenas. After this battle, the Kingdom of Lordaeron owes Murphy a big favor. When the story of filial piety between father and son in the Kingdom of Alterac is staged in the future, I ask you, Terenas, if you dare not give yourself face.
By then, with the support of Terenas, the throne of the king will be a sure thing. According to the original history, in order to annex Alterac, Terenas deliberately let his daughter Calia marry Count Prestor. It won’t be his turn this time, right?
With nothing to do, Murphy started to inquire about the information about the Kingdom of Lordaeron from Tianxiu. The two of them were old acquaintances. In addition, Murphy was a rescuer this time, so Tianxiu did not resist his deliberate questioning and easily introduced him a lot of useful information and told him a lot of inside stories of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
Lordaeron is the most powerful force within the Alliance, with a vast territory and a large population. There are more than a dozen large cities and countless castles and towns.
Moreover, Lordaeron has a good relationship with all the forces in the Alliance. In terms of making friends, Terenas is much better than King Llane of Stormwind.
Why did Terenas specifically look for Muradin to be Arthas's teacher? You have to know that there is a natural difference between the martial arts of dwarves and humans. The Kingdom of Lordaeron is not without sword masters and powerful knights. To put it bluntly, it is still a way to build relationships. Muradin is the brother of the dwarf king of Ironforge, and now he has become Arthas's master. Naturally, there is a tacit understanding between Lordaeron and Ironforge.
There are countless similar examples, and Terenas has mastered the art of diplomacy.
However, although external relations are very harmonious, the kingdom has not been peaceful recently.
The Kingdom of Lordaeron has many princes and princesses, but the internal factional struggles are more intense than in other countries.
Other countries at most fought for one throne, but the princes and princesses of Lordaeron fought for two thrones.
Especially in terms of attitude towards Arthas, there are clear divisions, with a total of three major factions.
The first faction is the King-killing faction. This faction has the largest number of people, and most of them are here to seize the Lich King. The King-killing faction believes that Arthas, the . Only in this way will everyone have a chance to become the Lich King. As for who will get the Lich King by then, it depends on their own ability. However, everyone agrees that killing Arthas should be the right choice.
The people who hired pirates, nagas, murlocs, and even sea monsters to hunt Arthas this time were most likely this group of people.
The second faction is the king-worshiping faction. This faction has fewer people, and most of them are princes and princesses of relatively weak strength. They have no hope for the positions of King of Lordaeron and Lich King, because there can only be one Lich King, and since it is difficult to get him, it is better for them to follow Arthas, who has the best chance of becoming the Lich King. Everyone can help Arthas according to the original historical script, and by the way, build a good relationship with Arthas. When Arthas becomes the Lich King in the future, everyone will naturally get some benefits.
It must not be difficult to become an Apocalypse Knight or a Legion Lord.
It will be fun when everyone turns evil together and becomes the BOSS template.
This faction and the king-killing faction are like water and fire.
The third faction is the Imperial faction. The people in this faction are quite special. Players of the Imperial faction think that the plot is something that they don’t necessarily have to follow. Didn’t the adventurers from Stormwind beat the orcs back before? This shows that as long as everyone works together, history can be changed.
As the leader of the Alliance of Lordaeron, the Kingdom of Lordaeron has a great chance to once again build a powerful empire like the Empire of Arathor. There is no need to fight for the Lich King or turn the Scourge into a villain. It would be great if everyone could work together to destroy the Cult of the Damned and build the Great Empire of Lordaeron together. In the future, there will be no place for the Kingdom of Stormwind in the Alliance. Lordaeron is the hope of mankind.
This faction also has a large number of people. As for whether to kill Arthas, they neither support nor oppose it. Some of them are even somewhat happy to see it happen. After all, Arthas is the designated candidate for the Lich King. If he dies, the Lich King might go to wreak havoc on other countries.
Aidan: "I see. So you are a king worshiper?"
