Azeroth’s Death Track

The last item of the award ceremony is to sign his name on a contract. The most eye-catching first signature on the contract is Varian Wrynn. Obviously, this contract is have special meaning.

It represents the establishment of the Lion Warband, which is a special organization headed by Varian Wrynn. Although it is called a warband, it is not actually a military organization. A group with strong political implications for the upcoming reform, the contract was written by the Archbishop of Chaldea to write a complete program, that is, under the leadership of King Varian Wrynn, overthrow the aristocratic class that has become a disease, and establish A new kingdom of Stormwind.

The 330 soldiers from the Seventh Legion present signed the contract one after another, which means that they will become pioneering knights directly under the king's management, and the first secret order they received was to go to the Shining Plain, On the border of Tanaris and Silithus, establish 15 large settlements belonging to the Kingdom of Stormwind.

Of course, the establishment of settlements is not simply pioneering. The meaning of Varian's move is to let these talents who are worth cultivating become familiar with the daily management and control system of settlements as quickly as possible. The day of a qualified administrator is the day when the king raises the butcher's knife against the recalcitrant aristocracy.

Varian is no longer the young man who was fooled by everyone back then. After experiencing enough knowledge and experience, his heart is firm enough and cold enough.

With the blood of nearly 10,000 people in exchange for a new country... Varian thinks it's worth it.

He has been completely disappointed with the current situation of the Stormwind Kingdom. In his opinion, it is easier to smash everything that is rotten and then rebuild the kingdom than to repair it. To a certain extent, Wa Rian is becoming more and more like his enemy...Tyrion. Dawn Blade, for a certain period of time, Tyrion also thought so, and did the same.

In other words, Varian has also begun to learn advanced experience.

Of course, it is impossible to reform a country with only 330 people. Marshal Windsor, who has not been seen recently, is busy with this matter. He has recruited thousands of non-commissioned officers and soldiers who are willing to follow the king in the current army of the kingdom. , and Archbishop Chaldea standing on the side of the king means that thousands of priests and a large number of believers in the entire country will also passively stand on the side of the king.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Varian not wanting to cause too much chaos, the power in his hands is enough to eradicate those nobles in one fell swoop, but the revolutionary action is easy, and it is very difficult to accept a messy mess, Varian Not only did he have to consider how to fight, but he also had to consider what would happen after the fight. This was why he formed the Pioneer Knights. He needed a large number of administrative and management personnel, and this matter could not be rushed.

After finishing the awarding ceremony, the busy Varian did not have time to rest. He received several merchants from afar in the room on the other side of the palace. These merchants from the South China Sea brought him important Yes, something he desperately needed.

Speaker Gore spent a lot of effort to collect these things, and he told us to hand them over to you in their entirety.

A gray-haired captain put a wooden box in front of Varian, and he said to Varian:

The Union of Veterans of the Federation is willing to help the Kingdom with these things, but Speaker Gore hopes that His Majesty will not make such a reckless move as the Empire did last time. The Federation is currently separating power from Dark Blade. At this critical moment, it is best not to provoke In the Supreme Council of the Dark Blade and the Federation, there are also many members who expressed their dissatisfaction with the last behavior of the empire.

The old captain glanced at Varian, and he said softly:

That's not something a normal, mature force should do.

I know.

Varian nodded to the old captain. The old captain in front of him was a businessman under the Stormwind City Port Authority. He was a lieutenant in the Stormwind Kingdom fleet. There is also some affection, and he is also a member of the Veterans Union, so he was sent on this secret mission.

Like him, many elderly people in the Veterans Association are willing to help their past motherland as much as they can, but they also have a satisfactory new life in the Federation civilization, so these people are willing to help Varian, but they don’t want to Involved in the conflict between the Empire and the Federation.

Please tell Congressman Gore for me. The whole kingdom is grateful for their help. Don't worry, Captain, I won't be so reckless, and I won't make it difficult for you.

Well, I'm relieved.

The old captain breathed a sigh of relief. He was actually very worried that Varian would be like those young, ignorant kings. The difference between the forces, not to mention the dark blade, with regard to the current military level of the empire, I am afraid that even the few newly formed legions of the Federation cannot beat it.

Forcibly smashing to death can only give away the head for nothing. Once the undead are angered, the endless sea cannot protect the empire.

The old captain turned sideways and let out a few people behind him. There are young people and middle-aged people, all wearing black uniforms, and there are signs belonging to the Dark Blade Consortium on the uniforms. The old captain introduced to Varian:

These are people who have studied federal law or served as judges of the Federal District. They are currently officers of the legal department of the Dark Blade Foundation. years.

Varian shook hands with these legal experts one by one, and he jokingly asked in a low voice:

You are members of the Federation. If you come to help the empire revise its laws, won't you violate the laws of the Federation?

The only young woman among them, wearing a floral dress and gold-rimmed glasses, smiled, looked at Varian, and replied:

Your Majesty, we are only employed by the Dark Blade Consortium. This is an expatriate operation, and everything complies with the federal business laws. Besides, the federation does not stipulate that we cannot serve the empire. It is all about making money. Whoever earns money does not matter. The same, and, Your Majesty, don't you really know me?

Varian was stunned by this rhetorical question. He looked at the charming lady in front of him. She looked about 27 or 8 years old, and the outline of her cheeks was indeed familiar, but Varian couldn't remember her for a while. who is it.

Probably seeing the embarrassment of the king, the lady pushed her glasses and said generously:

When you were young, you often came to North County. There was a vineyard there. Every time you came, a girl would take you around to pick the ripe grapes...

Ah! I remembered!

Varian patted his forehead and said to the lady:

Miss Millie, you were one of my best childhood friends, I thought...

Varian didn't say anything after that, but Miss Millie knew what Varian wanted to say, so she waved her hand:

It's all over, and we all survived. In this damn age, is there anything more fortunate than this? And speaking of it, I didn't come here just for the expatriate job this time...

A cold light flashed in Miss Millie's beautiful eyes, and she said softly:

I'm also looking for another person...a heartless man who has always been in chaos! I heard that he is by your side...

While talking, Miss Millie laughed again. She waved her hand, and the officers of the legal department behind her began to get busy. This lady seemed to be the leader of the legal team, and she smiled at Varian. , says:

Now, let us get to work, Your Majesty, please sit down, and then please explain the framework of the law you want to enact. With all due respect, the laws of the Federation are still very incomplete, and the national conditions of the two countries are different. These provisions , can only be used as a reference.

Ms. Millie, a legal expert who works in the legal department of the Dark Blade Consortium, is worthy of the article, which is the wooden box sent to New Stormwind City by the old captain.

That is the rubbings of all the laws promulgated by the Supreme Council of Federal Civilization from scratch.

There are so many things that add up to a small box. After all, it has been almost 10 years since the Federation was established, and their legal process is gradually improving. The current law book is a new version after it has been updated 5 times. .

Although the Stormwind Kingdom originally had its own laws, that outdated set of laws followed the ancient laws enacted by the Arathor Empire more than 2,000 years ago, and most of them were aristocratic codes similar to royal power laws and inheritance laws. The terms are no longer applicable to this era, and the rulers of the past were somewhat indifferent to this aspect.

But Varian knew that a few years ago, his adoptive father Lothar also wanted to formulate a new set of laws for the empire, but the ensuing war made his adoptive father's ideas go to waste, Lothar told him more than once Varian, the bigger the country, the less likely the king is to control the overall situation. Instead of trusting the character of the bureaucrats, it is better to trust a good set of laws.

Moreover, the law, if it can be truly enforced, will be very helpful to civilize the wisdom of the people. This can be seen from the development trajectory of the Federation civilization... Varian knew it when he traveled the Federation, until now So far, after 10 years of development, the Federation's overall literacy rate is less than 50%, but the development of Federation civilization, even in remote villages, appears to be orderly. This is the magical effect of the law.

It is not even necessary for a smart person to become an official, even if it is a mediocre bureaucrat, as long as he acts according to the law, there will be no big mistakes, and once the people adapt to these rules, they will naturally become beneficial to the country. It can't help the country become stronger, but just obeying the law can also make the country's order improve quickly, allowing the ruler to focus more on more important things.

At this moment, facing Miss Millie who picked up the pen and paper, and looking into her searching eyes, Varian hesitated, thought for a moment, and then said:

What I need is a noose!

Um?

Miss Millie froze for a moment, and then heard the king explain:

A noose used to liquidate the noble class without harming the interests of the common people. Most importantly, this set of laws should be simple enough to at least allow the common people to understand its meaning and intuitively feel that this set of laws After the law is implemented, it will have a positive impact on their lives, and make them realize how abominable the nobles who oppressed them are!

Varian breathed a sigh of relief and said frankly:

Let me just say it straight, Miss Millie, in my future vision, the aristocratic class does not exist, but I haven't thought about what should be used as the future governing system of the Stormwind Kingdom after the aristocratic class is vacant. Rewards for meritorious men...Without titles, without privileges, how can I attract people to follow me and build a new country with me?

Well, Your Majesty, I have to say...

Miss Millie put down her pen, looked at Varian appreciatively, and said softly:

Your thinking will allow you to occupy an extremely glorious position in the federal government. Your understanding of the law is probably the most profound among the nobles in the empire, and your application of the law is even more impressive. Open your eyes.

As for your worries...it's not a problem at all. Title, status, and privilege are combined into one word...power! Giving meritorious persons the power to participate in the kingdom's political system is much better than pure title and status. In fact, the polity of the Federation also works in this way, if you are not busy, please allow me to explain it to you.

Varian waved his hand:

Of course, I'd love to listen.

———————————

The enactment of laws cannot be completed overnight. Even with the federal code as a reference, it is a time-consuming process.

Fortunately, Varian did not intend to do it overnight. All he needs now is a simple code for liquidating nobles. More than 20 well-educated non-commissioned officers followed the legal team to study and served as their guards by the way.

Of course, then again, even if Varian really wants to compile a great law code, it will definitely not be possible to rely on such a few people. The degree of completeness of the law is a manifestation of a level of civilization and progress. There is no such ability.

But the king's affairs are very busy after all, especially when the nobles are watching with cold eyes, Varian has almost endless things to deal with.

The night slowly fell in the court of New Stormwind City. After a busy day, Miss Millie stretched her slender waist. She raised her eyes, took her teacup, and prepared to take a rest in the garden outside. When she just walked out of the room, she saw the familiar figure walking towards her.

boom

The scripture held by the archbishop of Chaldea fell to the ground at this moment. He stared blankly at the figure in front of him that could never be erased from his memory, while Miss Millie looked at him with indifferent eyes.

Millie...you...how did you end up in...

Chaldea!

Miss Millie reached out to take off her spectacles, and said in a calm tone:

Your child was born, just six months after you left us and disappeared. I love that child very much, but it is a pity...the Holy Light did not bless him.

You... what did you say?
