Vol 2 Chapter 175: : Noble Orcs and Humble Humans

Tirion Fording, as the first Paladin in the world of Azeroth, he joined the Knights of the Silver Hand and gained a high status in Lordaeron and is well respected.
Adhering to the virtue and justice of the Paladin, bringing the guidance of the Holy Light to the people, and bringing the burning of punishment to the enemy.
At this moment, he was hostile to the orcs.
But the encounter of fate always changes a person completely.
On this day, as usual, Fordine rode his own holy war horse alone to patrol the wilderness. When passing by an abandoned dilapidated tower, he found an old orc hiding and hiding here.
Shortly after the orc war ended, there were still some orc soldiers remaining in the land of Lordaeron, which is normal.
The paladin with a strong sense of responsibility launched the attack without thinking, and the old orc also raised the battle axe. The two of you come and go.
But during the battle, the ruin of the broken tower next to it collapsed, and a gravel hit the paladin, causing him to suddenly lose consciousness.
When Fordin woke up again, he found himself lying on a familiar bed, surrounded by the priest of Holy Light who was healing him, and Husseri's deputy Bartheras.
According to the report of the deputy, the search and rescue team found Tirion, who was stunned on horseback and seriously injured, a few days ago.
Lying on the hospital bed, Fording tried to sort out his thoughts. He was surprised to find that the only one who could rescue himself from the rubble and carry it on horseback was the old orc.
However, when Fording was confused, his ambitious deputy Barthras had his own other ideas. His boss shouted "orcs" when he was in a coma, which convinced him that the Stratholme area was about to be orcish. Attack by the remnant army.
After healed, Tirion Fordine went back alone to find the old road. Sure enough, in the abandoned tower, he met the old orc again.
The orc told him in very unskilled lingua franca that he was called Eitrigg.
That night, by the simple bonfire, Eitrigg told Verding his story.
He told Verdin that he still remembers many years ago that the orc tribe used to be a noble race of shamans. They were also full of glory and justice, and also hated unnecessary wars.
He told Verding that after the end of the war, he finally realized to what extent the current tribe had fallen under the corruption of the Burning Legion, which made him finally choose to leave his own people and live in seclusion. life.
The words of the old orc, Gao Fengliang, won the respect and resonance of the Paladin who also regarded the honor above all else, and defeated the ethnic hatred and traditional prejudice. Before the two who were sympathetic, Fording vowed that he would never disclose it to the outside world. The whereabouts of Eitrigg.
After returning to the city, Fording announced to the people that there were no threats from the orcs in the territory, and that he had been perfectly resolved except those he had been attacked before.
However, his deputy Barthelas, this young man who had a bitter hatred of the orcs because his parents died in the orc wars, did not stop there. He found Dassohan, who was also a paladin like Tirion, and decided to resolve the crisis in his own way.
With the help of the brigade of soldiers, Dassauhan launched a comprehensive search and arrest activity. Tirion looked at it without saying a word, and silently prayed for the friend in his heart.
However, the reality is always cruel, Eitrigg is still arrested, and then escorted back to the city.
This old orc full of nobility and glory tried to break away from the cage that held the livestock, and then was beaten and abused by the surrounding human soldiers, even spitting at him and peeing.
Tirion Fording could no longer bear it. The glory of the Paladin made him unable to continue to look at such things without being indifferent, so he launched an attack on the human guards in anger, trying to stop their actions, and Barcelas, who watched with cold eyes in the dark, now showed a cold smile, and his purpose was achieved.
Barcelas soon brought Verding to court for treason, and the former war hero was escorted to Stratholme City for an open trial.
All friends of Fording, including his wife Landra, implored him to put all the blame on the brutal orc.
As the first group of Paladins and war heroes, Lordaeron also did not want to convict him, so as long as he spoke, the orc would be convicted and executed, and Fording was only temporarily innocent.
However, in the courtroom, looking at the banner of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Fording recalled his son Tyran Fording, who asked his questions innocently when he was seven years old.
"Father, are all orcs bad guys?"
Didn't know how to answer his son, but now he knew.
"I have seen the noblest orcs and the humblest humans. Race does not prove glory. People should not judge lightly on those different from themselves."
Now, this noble paladin is awakened, and he wants to set an example with his son.
In the name of his father, he stood up and proudly recounted the whole incident, and said that he would never impose an unprovoked crime on the old orc.
The jury that was deeply touched could not convict Fording of treason, but Fording's rationale did not change the court's judgment because the fact that he attacked fellow human soldiers was unavoidable.
Fording was expelled from the Knights of the Silver Hand. His old friend Uther, with a very heavy heart, personally presided over the ceremony, eliminating the power of the Holy Light on Fording, and then he was sentenced to permanent exile.
And Eitrigg, this old orc is still sentenced to death and will be publicly executed, because the people ’s hatred of the tribe urgently needs such public activities.
Tirion produced a decisive change in his life at this moment. He understood that sometimes glory is not only the whole thing. People living in the world need flexibility and conspiracy.
Fording took advantage of the huge network of connections he had accumulated before, and contacted a fleet of merchants who smuggled and made them wait on the coast of the Stratholme area.
Subsequently, Tirion, who had no power of the Holy Light, led a small group of old men who still believed in him, and raided the prison that held Eitrig and other orcs, and successfully rescued him.
"I failed to keep my previous oath ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But I am not an oathbreaker, the paladin's justice and glory still exist in my heart, so go, Eitrigg, go to Kalim Many continents, go back to your clan, and never come back. "
The old orc Yitrige solemnly performed a thumping ceremony, and the orcs rescued together also performed a solemn thumping ceremony.
This human being is a glorious warrior, he proves that human beings are not all treacherous and cunning creatures.
"May your blade be always sharp, Tirion Fording." The orcs gave their best wishes to humans for the first time
blessing.
Itrigger and his orcs boarded the voyage fleet, they will rejoin the tribe, and evolved into a group of rationalists who are also not hostile to humans.
Tirion stood by the sea and looked at the distant fleet. At the moment, his heart was calm. He did not regret it. He was proud of it.
Although he lost the power of the Holy Light once, at this moment, the Holy Light filled his body again.
This is the brilliance that belongs to oneself, not the power of the Holy Light artificially inspired by Archbishop Alonzos Fau of Holy Light.
He became a true paladin, and realized the true meaning of the paladin.
And the next way. . .
Tirion took off his armor, put on an obscure linen cloth, put on a cloak, and began his seclusion career.
