Invincible Chapter 526
Today is the 19th autumn of the Warcraft calendar.
According to the original historical line, when the spring and summer of 2020 were handed over, it was the time when natural disasters and plagues broke out.
At that time, there was a shortage of food, and food was needed everywhere. During the transportation process, the cursed sect tampered with it, and accidents occurred on a large scale.
There are still 8 months to go, and it seems a bit late to encourage the Silver Knights to follow the money at this time.
But Kane doesn't think so, he thinks the entry point is more appropriate.
He is not greedy, his purpose is to prevent the Silver Knights from suffering heavy losses in the first round of catastrophe.
As early as when the Knights Templar in the Holy Palace was established, he specifically asked them to interact more with the Knights of the Silver Hand.
The reason is to pay tribute to the predecessors and learn from them.
In fact, the system of the Knights Templar was already very complete at that time. Kane asked his subordinates to give skills to the knights of the Silver Hand in a different way, and it was also a foreshadowing.
This foreshadowing includes psychologically acknowledging the existence and non-negligibility of the Knights Templar.
In this way, he, the apostle of the Holy Light, the founder of the Knights Templar, and the chief commander, the supreme commander, is qualified.
Otherwise, why speak nonsense in front of an old hero who has achieved success and fame?
The Silver Hand doesn't follow the secular ways, and there is no lack of complaints that people despise the corruption of the rich and powerful.
Uther even the prince of Lordaeron, the boss of the alliance, said he would train him. How old are you, Prince Stormgard?
It is precisely because of his extraordinary achievements in the way of the Holy Light that the Knights Templar have accumulated a bit of prestige in the world over the past few years, so the leaders of the Silver Hand have been able to pay attention to it from the very beginning.
So now, the conditions are ripe, the steps have been paved, and his appearance is just right, otherwise he may be scolded if he comes too early. People can also train them, so if Uther doesn't do it, there will be a successor to the kingdom?
The Kingdom of Lordaeron is truly the first kingdom of mankind. At least until the people of this era are not used to measuring the size of the economy, Lordaeron will always be the most powerful country in people's minds.
The crown prince of the most powerful country can be trained, and his cheap father Solas is polite when he sees him, and he is commensurate with his comrades-in-arms.
For his younger generation, if he wanted to stand upright in front of him, it would be difficult to do so without foreshadowing.
And this foreshadowing started a few years ago. Didn't Kane encourage the Templars to travel? Lordaeron and the Silver Knights are naturally inevitable for the Templars to visit. After all, the reputation is great, and the young knights are also eager to be recognized by the veteran knights who have experienced war.
As a result, when the first batch of Templars came to interact with the Knights of the Silver Hand, they were often picked on by them.
Kane attributes this to a part of human nature that instinctively feels that its professional authority has been challenged. There must be an acceptance process, even if you are really good at it.
Today, he sits on an equal footing with the leadership of the Silver Hand, talks freely, even dominates the topic, and brings it into his own rhythm. It is the result of years of preparation.
After the Silver Hand signed the package agreement, Kane also talked about it with Prince Arthas. The core of the topic was how to be a qualified king.
Wang does things, if he doesn't do it, he has to do it, and if he does it, he must succeed. Otherwise, the wave will come over a few times, his prestige will be ruined, and the signboard will be smashed, and it will be difficult to pick it up again.
So how can it be successful? There is a saying here.
At least you don't jump on the problem when you see it.
Wang is not a firefighter, and Wang does not deal with emergencies without any intelligence support.
At least try to avoid this from happening.
Kane also played a game of wizard chess with Alsace for this. He moved 10 moves first, and then let Alsace start. He was not bad at chess, and if he made another 10 moves first, Alsace would naturally not be able to win.
Kane used this to explain the reality. They arranged it secretly, planned it for many years, and executed it effectively. If you take 10 steps first, why do you think you can win?
Kane half-jokingly said: "There is only one possibility of winning, and that is that the other party suddenly loses his mind and makes frequent tricks, while you are possessed by the god of luck and break through all the way."
"This is actually very ridiculous. If the other party is really not smart enough, how can they push you into a dead corner at the beginning? Seeing that you are done, it is so funny to come out to play heads-up with you without using a hundred thousand troops. What can you do?"
Kane explained that the emergency he said Wang encountered was mainly of this type.
Of course, there is a situational judgment here, and you have to learn to analyze it. More importantly, you have this string in your heart and realize that you may encounter this kind of trap.
Kane also made a point of visiting the Silver Hand.
It has been paved the way for several years, not only the Templars, but also under his management, several major events have been achieved. Let people spontaneously forget his age.
Yes, at least in the Kingdom of Stormgard, when people mentioned Galin, they would not add prefixes such as 'young'.
They are married, and many of the things they do are done in their lifetime, which is amazing.
When there are so many achievements of this kind that people can't even envy them, there will still be bitter words among the people, but the main direction of the wind is not whether Prince Galin can do it, but to predict when he will stumble.
Watching public figures and celebrities make a fool of themselves has been a hobby of people throughout the ages.
Under such a background, he just jumped out, subtext: Political capital is already very strong, no worse than your older generation, so he was told that I have walked more bridges than I have walked, eaten There is more salt than any noodle I have ever eaten. To measure whether I have the right to speak, I can just say things. Great things, successful things, how many have you done? How many piles have you made?
Kane pointed out that Wang’s advantage is that he has a lot of resources available, including manpower. When Wang comes forward, the road has been paved, and the discussion will be successful. The more successful others think this person is, the more he can accomplish things and the more prestigious he is...
Why did he break this with Alsace?
It is to give him a psychological vaccination in advance.
The original historical line had the greatest impact on Alsace, and it could be called the most important turning point in life's "Series of Natural Disaster Invasion Events".
He was full of passion, and in the end, in the face of constant failures, he made an extreme transformation, from light to darkness, and he won, but the price was to pay everything he cherished in the past.
Alsace is also an adult, one year older than Galin Trollbane played by Kane. He is 22 this year, and he can use his brain instead of his lower body to think about some problems.
His journey to become a prince was relatively smooth. Terenas got a son when he was old. He was the only one who didn't have any battles for the throne. He also worshiped famous teachers and grew up in a good environment when he was a child. The feeling is not deep, it is all heard or happened to others and he watched it.
Because of this, he is more likely to be stimulated to the extreme and reversed.
As for pride, love to show off and so on, those are minor problems that young people will have, and when they get older, they will naturally restrain themselves.
Terenas also knew this, so he let Alsace come under Uther's door, to see the suffering in the world, and to taste the taste of restraint.
Later, he was asked to investigate the curse sect, also based on learning a lesson from a loss, and frustrating his arrogance and inner vigor.
Of course, it turned out to be a joke.
And Kane's consideration is not to save the prince.
Without Arthas, there may be Kael'thas, or other Sass, the Lich King has become a pustule of Azeroth, which will burst sooner or later, and the pus will inevitably flow out.
Arthas becoming the villain only makes the incident more tragic, more dramatic, and more impressive. In essence, it is one aspect of many manifestations of the camp's strength.
There are many similar aspects of the grand battlefield with the world as the stage. It can even be said that every living being with its own will is performing a side, and Alsace is just a zero-magnitude star, which is brighter and more dazzling.
And people who have experienced it like Kane rarely change for a specific aspect, and they have to reverse it, otherwise they will feel uncomfortable.
He doesn't have such a perfect OCD.
His perspective is much colder than that of ordinary people. It's really the butt sitting on the ruler's position, and it's the kind of ruler who can treat human life as data.
Of course, this does not mean that he has no feelings. It's just that the lower limit is lower than ordinary people, and there is stronger control.
For example, the cheap parents Solas and his wife who have been with him for 20 years, if something big happens, he can put the overall situation first.
However, he is more used to maintaining a high level of vigilance, taking precautions to prevent problems before they happen.
In terms of Alsace, or the natural disasters raised from Alsace. Kane's real idea is not to let the Lich King win too much in the plague and natural disasters.
In the original history line, the natural disaster army in Northrend did not move, and the alliance was smashed to pieces. So much so that when Alsace was killed later, he had to get someone (that is, Duke Fordragon, who was once confused by Onyxia, voluntarily) to top the tank. The number of natural disasters is too large. No one can afford a leader who gets out of control and creates trouble everywhere.
There is no Seventh Legion (game players) in this world, so appropriate weakening of the Scourge Legion is necessary, and it must be paved early.
For example, the rise of the Kingdom of Stormgard has affected the economies of various countries, making countries recover from war wounds much faster after the Second Human-Beast War.
Specifically, it is reflected in the lives of the people.
It is said that there are good days and life has a bright future, how many people will engage in crooked ways, or take risks? Don't people know the simple truth of "seeing thieves enjoying themselves, but not seeing thieves being beaten"?
Then, when he came north this time, he also tried to sweep away those unstable factors in the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
With fewer idlers and a busy life, there are not many people who believe in a secret sect.
Kane has done some research on organizations like sects. He is a magician himself. He has done it in many worlds, and it's all worth it.
According to his analysis, according to the situation in the human kingdom of Azeroth, cult preaching is nothing more than two development models, spreading slowly in the countryside and spreading rapidly in towns.
The former is difficult to say. Villages and farms are relatively closed, outsiders are very conspicuous, and at the same time they will be vigilant or even rejected. It is not so easy to carry out missionary work.
It's easy to say, most farmers have been cultivating the land for generations, they lack knowledge and culture, and are easy to be fooled. And once you believe it, there will be a kind of stupid loyalty that makes people angry and pitiful, and it is difficult to set things right.
Even the original world information has been developed to such a degree, and there are those foolish villages who do some unbelievable, creepy and cruel things.
However, it is not easy to crack the shells of these villages and farms. Even if a few are captured, the overall impact will be very limited.
Kane felt that the probability of the Lich King and Kel'Thuzad choosing this path was very small.
Even though it develops in this way, the sect of the curse will become a malignant sore that is difficult to cure, and its removal can be called scraping the bone to cure the poison, and if it is not careful, it will become suicide. But it is too time consuming.
Moreover, the humanity of the Lich King and Kel'Thuzad is also a consideration.
The two were not born from grass roots. Ner'zhul, the Lich King, was a genius with a prominent background in the tribe when he was young. He held a high position in middle age, and then he kept climbing.
And Kel'Thuzad is a landowner and gentry class, and his family is not short of money. He can get a big sailing ship by himself after selling it off, and go to the extreme north to take risks in a place that many people only know from anecdotal rumors.
Such two people with extraordinary backgrounds and accustomed to bossing around, it is hard to imagine that they would choose to start from the bottom.
Of course, the most important thing is time. Time is a deadly killer. Once it is prolonged, no secret can be concealed.
What's more, what the Lich King wants is not subversion, but destruction.
He wants to completely wipe the human race from the world of Azeroth. And it has a large army ready to fight, rather than simply relying on conspiracy.
Kane analyzed the Lich King's train of thought and believed that it would be great if the natural disaster and plague could be a big success. If not, the army would follow up to cover up and kill, vowing to destroy the most powerful kingdom of Lordaeron, the most powerful human being, first, and then pursue death By the north.
