"Let me tell you, Sylvanas, if a council of nobles in my country opposed me, I would definitely bring them to heel!"
This was Galen's first time voicing his governing principles to someone else. Those organizations that wave the flag of freedom and democracy are actually power-grabbing institutions, riddled with bureaucracy, and a malignant tumor that interferes with the kingdom's normal operation and prosperity. They should be uprooted as soon as possible.
"Galen, it's a good thing you're saying this to me. If you said this to Alleria, she would definitely call you a tyrant, barbaric, and backward!" Sylvanas seemed to think of something funny and laughed happily.
"How am I a tyrant? Is there anything wrong with consolidating the rule of the royal family? I believe your Sun King has long wanted to hang your Silvermoon Councilors from the trees!" Galen didn't understand. As a beneficiary of the monarchy, his position determined his thinking. He would never allow anyone to challenge the royal family.
"I personally agree with your point of view!"
It's no wonder she's the future Banshee Queen. Her domineering and autocratic thinking didn't come from nowhere.
"However, Alleria agrees with the kingdom's system. She just hates the mages' so-called elegance and severe bureaucracy. Like me, she is a pragmatist."
"That's contradictory. Didn't you two have a fight an hour ago? Why are you defending her now? Is it sisterly affection?"
These words seemed to hit Sylvanas's heart, and her bright eyes became blurred for a moment.
"Alleria is much older than us. Since we were little, she has helped our mother teach us. She taught me archery, including our third sister."
When their parents were busy with military affairs and rarely came home, Sylvanas, Vereesa, and their younger brother Lirath were basically raised under the meticulous care of their eldest sister, Alleria.
"I envy you for having siblings. I only have one cousin, who is more than ten years older than me. He's not mature at all and only knows how to win against me in competitions!" Galen was the only child of his generation and didn't enjoy that kind of family.
"When you have younger siblings, you'll find that they're not worry-free at all. Take Alleria, for example. She often puts on the airs of an elder sister, but that only works on Vereesa. She's a coward. She gets scared as soon as her older sister frightens her. When I was little, I was afraid of her, but now I never listen!"
Sylvanas was somewhat proud. Galen looked puzzled. To be naughty and rebellious with such confidence was something Galen had never seen before.
"Then what about Vereesa?" Galen pretended not to know.
"She's our third sister. We also have a younger brother named Lirath. Like me, he's not worry-free. He laid a good foundation under the supervision of our mother and eldest sister in his early years, but when he was studying at the academy, he actually said he wanted to be a bard. He plays the accordion so well that our eldest sister beat him half to death!"
"Although he now has a bunch of high elf girls surrounding him at the academy, is that just because he can play the accordion? In the future, he will still have to rely on hard power to get married!"
Galen listened with great interest to the Windrunner family's domestic affairs.
"I don't agree with my younger brother's approach. I think my eldest sister did the right thing in this regard! How can a boy gain military merit in the kingdom without any strength? Is it possible for my eldest sister to be the Ranger-Lord and my second sister to be the Ranger-General without strength?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I agree with this point. A man should travel the world with a sword. Like me, I picked up a sword at the age of three, wore armor at the age of five, could ride a horse at the age of seven, and fought the Witherbark trolls at the age of twelve."
(so humble)
Galen suddenly felt that he used to be so hardworking. "After so many years of hard work, I have the strength I have now!"
Sylvanas's heart lit up. Galen's views and hardworking style were very much to her liking. A thought suddenly popped into her mind: he is so hardworking, he must not have time to fool around like those noble children!
The inadvertent thought startled Sylvanas, and she felt a little shy and blurted out a sentence.
"Galen, are you an adult this year?"
"Ah, I'll be eighteen this year. According to us humans, I'm an adult. Some time ago, my father wanted to find a noble daughter for me, but I refused. I'm not interested in those without power." My Galen has very high standards, how can I be interested in ordinary women!
"That's well said. It's just that there isn't a single peer who can fight besides Prince Kael'thas!" Sylvanas sighed.
"Hahaha..."
"Giggle!"
Alleria, who was behind them, watched the two of them marching side by side, talking and laughing, and was so angry that she almost twisted the reins in her hand. If things continued like this, the situation would be bad.
Alleria decided that it would be difficult to persuade her second sister, so she would change her target and break through from Galen's side!
Alas, Alleria was in a terrible mood. Why were her younger siblings so worrying! Sylvanas was okay, but she was about to lose control, and Lirath even wanted to rebel!
No, I'll beat up my younger brother if I have the chance to go back this time! He's infuriating me!
Aerie Peak!
At this moment, a new round of attacks by the Orc and Troll alliance had begun.
"Prepare for battle, lads!"
Kurdran waved his warhammer, encouraging his people while climbing onto his gryphon companion, Sky'ree.
The ground battle was commanded by Falstad. Kurdran's main task was to lead the gryphon riders to put pressure on the Orcs from the air. The group of red dragons was not to be underestimated. Fortunately, there were not as many as the Wildhammer gryphon knights, otherwise Kurdran would be under even greater pressure!
In addition to the red dragons in the sky, there were also javelins flying from the ground. A large number of troll headhunters were watching intently on the ground, and there were occasional sneak attacks by strong Orcs. These were the most deadly. Their javelins were black and thick, and many young men and their gryphons had already fallen and been torn to pieces by the green skins on the ground!
However, Kurdran's combat power was not weak either. He and his guards had just beaten a red dragon until it was covered in bumps, and then with a final hammer blow, he skewered the red dragon and the dragonhawk rider, killing them both at the same time.
However, the Wildhammer side was outnumbered. Even if they firmly controlled the air, they still could not drive back the Orcs!
"Falstad, let the human gryphons take our messengers to ask for help!"
Kurdran roared in the sky: "Never mind those old guys. By the time they reach a consensus, Aerie Peak will be destroyed!"
"I'll arrange for someone to go right away!" Falstad turned around and returned to the fortress. After a while, twenty or so gryphons took off and flew south at full speed!
