Crossing the Other World: My Warcraft System

As for why he didn't rush to be the first to establish the Paladin Knights Guardian, in addition to Garin's usual style of not liking to be the first to stand out, there are other reasons.

During the thousands of years since the Church of the Holy Light appeared in human society, the priests' heroic deeds of saving lives and healing the wounded have made the Church of the Holy Light's reputation soar, and Alonsus Faol is the best among them. His name of kindness is known to everyone and has even spread to the kingdoms of dwarves and high elves.

The establishment of the Knights Templar led by the Archbishop would be more attractive to those wild paladin candidates. Aragorn had only appeared in Azeroth for more than four years. Although Garen had sent out thousands of priests from the Temple of Mystery to promote Aragorn, the new bishop of the White City and Arathi Diocese, the time was still short after all.

The Paladins did not accumulate a lot of reputation in the brutal confrontation with the orcs in World War II, and this new group could not be compared with the traditional priests.

Therefore, relying on the prestige of the archbishop is a good way.

As for why they didn't join the Silver Hand, this involves political issues, which is also what Garin dislikes the most.

The Knights of the Silver Hand are actually the knights protecting the Church of the Holy Light. They have religious elements, but their foothold is in Lordaeron and their diocesan headquarters is in Stratholme!

As the king of Lordaeron, Terenas is a man of great talent and strategy. It is impossible for him to allow the Silver Hand to be independent of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Infiltration and control is an inevitable move. The Archbishop will not stop such a move, nor can he stop it.

For example, the Archbishop has already made it clear that the leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand is Uther!

Who is Uther?

He is not only a devout believer, but also the confidant of King Terenas, the captain of the palace guards of the Menethil royal family, and is loyal to the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

Future history also proved this point. After the victory of the Second Orc War, Terenas directly controlled the Knights of the Silver Hand, making the Knights a powerful force in Lordaeron!

Only Garin would be stupid to combine his Paladin and Silver Hand into one. Wouldn't it be better to start a new business?

As the city of enlightenment for the Paladins, the White City has himself and Aragorn, the two founders of the Paladins. At least in the practice of the power of Holy Light, they have surpassed Uther, Fordring and others. The Paladin Order he founded will definitely be far ahead of the Silver Hand in terms of number and strength in the near future.

Lothar's military tent meeting was over, and each general received his own task. Garen's defense zone was at the Sador Bridge in Stromgarde, his own country, where he would block the orc army coming from the land.

The preparations for the Silver Hand have not been completed yet, and the Archbishop has not officially announced it. Garin can return to the Holy White City first to prepare for his own Knights of the Holy Light.

"Archbishop, we will also establish a group of knights to protect the religion in Arathi Highlands. Please allow us to do so!" Before saying goodbye, Garin visited the archbishop and sincerely made his request to him.

Strictly speaking, Garin's behavior is suspected of splitting the Church of Holy Light. However, since ancient times, the bishops of each diocese have been selected by the diocese. In particular, Alonsus is known for his kindness and manages the Church of Holy Light with gentle means.

Moreover, Alonsus believed that Aragon's understanding of the Way of Holy Light was no less than his own, and he was also in the prime of his life, making him more suitable to be the next archbishop than his disciple Benedictus.

"Just do it, Garin. As long as the Paladins follow the path of Holy Light, he will be the protector of Holy Light!"

The archbishop had a kind face and did not show any dissatisfaction with Garin. Garin felt at ease for a moment.

The birth of the Paladin was largely due to the Arathi Diocese, and the Archbishop also understood that Stromgarde would never allow such a powerful force to be controlled by people from other countries!

"Please ask the Archbishop to give a name to the Knights of Arashi Diocese!"

In return, Garin gave the archbishop enough respect, and at the same time used this method to show that the Arathi Diocese still respected the archbishop!

"The Holy Knights were born in the Cathedral of the Holy White City. The Cathedral of the Holy White City is worthy of the name of the Holy Light Temple! In the name of the Archbishop, I declare that the Knights Templar of the Arathi Diocese will be named the Knights Templar!"

"Thank you, Archbishop!"

At the end of the fourth year after Dark Gate, the Knights of the Silver Hand were established under the auspices of Archbishop Alonsus, with Uther, Tirion Fordring and Saidan Dathrohan as the core, assisted by the first batch of combat priests who changed their jobs in the White City. The headquarters was located in Stratholme Cathedral, and they began to recruit people for a new round of training!

Garen's side did not have as much trouble as the Silver Hand. In the past two years, Aragorn had been selecting suitable personnel from all over Stromgarde to transform into paladins, so the preparation work was much simpler.

As for those who failed the job transfer ceremony, Garin did not give up on them. As high-level professionals selected from thousands, their failure to pass the Paladin enlightenment only showed that they were not suitable for the Paladin path and could still be competent for other positions!

Garin has a large number of soldiers under his command, but lacks suitable grassroots officers, and a large number of vacancies need to be filled by talents.

Shortly after the establishment of the Knights of the Silver Hand, the preparations in the Holy White City were completed, and it was announced to the public: The Knights Templar were established!

The number of paladins trained in the cathedral that Garin has accumulated is approaching 400, while the number of paladins who have been properly transferred in Arathi is less than 100.

The Silver Hand only has two hundred official paladins, most of whom were enlightened by Garin himself in the White City. For this reason, Garin brought all the native paladins of Arathi into the Knights Templar, and added some paladins trained in the cathedral, which were also set to be two hundred official members.

The remaining two hundred or so paladins continued to serve as Garin's personal guards.

While the Alliance was making intensive preparations for the upcoming war, Orgrim had already led the main force of the army into the wetlands.

The large army camped near the mountainside south of the wetlands. The land there was relatively dry. Even the savage orcs did not like the swampy terrain of the wetlands, even though they had adapted to the Swamp of Sorrows for a long time. After all, crocodile meat was not very tasty.

The Sardor Bridge is the only passage connecting the Wetlands and the Arathi Highlands, and the south side is low and the north side is high. As the attacking party, Orgrim said he had a headache.

And through the reconnaissance spell cast by the tribal warlock, he saw the human army of Stromgarde!

Orgrim was a top commander. With just one glance, he estimated that the valley in front of the bridge was only defended by a regular human legion of 8,000 men!

Why are the guards here so sparse?

Is it a scam?

He decided to give it a try first.
