He looked back and saw that the paladin who had called out to him was a familiar face, someone he should have met, but he had forgotten the specific name.
"You are...?"
"Senior Brother, I am Maxwell Tyrosus, a second-term student from the Minas Tirith Paladin Training Camp."
"Oh! Brother, I remember you. You are a kind and tolerant paladin. What can I do for you!"
Galen remembered who Maxwell Tyrosus was. He was a baron of Lordaeron. In Galen's memory, he was a paladin dedicated to uniting the various intelligent races of the continent to jointly resist the Scourge. After the Knights of the Silver Hand were destroyed by Arthas, he first joined the Scarlet Crusade, and later broke away to create the Argent Dawn.
In fact, Galen had spent a long time in his previous life sorting out the various Holy Light organizations that emerged after the destruction of the Knights of the Silver Hand.
Arthas disbanded the Knights of the Silver Hand at the gate of Stratholme. Later, he stabbed his own father and then Uther, killing most of the paladin members of the Knights of the Silver Hand.
The surviving members of the Knights of the Silver Hand were divided into three parts: those who stayed in the north and continued to fight the undead Scourge, those who followed Jaina west to Theramore, and those who were reorganized into the Silver Hand Avengers in Stormwind City in the south by Regent Bolvar.
Of course, the scattered Knights of the Silver Hand organizations in Stormwind Kingdom and Theramore were too small in number, and the main body was still on the land of Lordaeron.
When the Scourge swept across Lordaeron, General Abbendis, High Inquisitor Isillien, and Highlord Alexandros Mograine jointly established the "Crusade" organization under the Silver Hand.
Later, due to the conspiracy of the dreadlords, Old Mograine died in battle, the Ashbringer was corrupted, and Dathrohan was killed by the dreadlord Balnazzar and occupied his body.
Subsequently, under the guidance of Dathrohan, the Crusade gradually fell into terrible fanaticism and eventually split into two organizations.
The radical faction chose the Scarlet Crusade led by Dathrohan, and a group of rational knight members established the Argent Dawn almost at the same time.
The Argent Dawn chose the Chapel of Light's Hope as their base camp. Later, the Lich King attacked the chapel, and Old Fordring came out of nowhere and repelled the Lich King's attack.
Soon after, the corrupted Scarlet Crusade killed Taelan Fordring, who wanted to leave the organization. Tirion failed to save his son. Next to his son's body, he vowed to purge the heretics of the Holy Light and revitalize the glory of the Silver Hand. Then he joined the Argent Dawn and succeeded to the position of Highlord, fighting the Scarlet Crusade and the undead Scourge to the end.
The establishment of the Scarlet Crusade was fanatical and extreme from the beginning. They maintained hostility towards all races except the Scarlet Crusade, whether alive or dead, from hunting down the undead. Therefore, they were listed as targets by the Alliance and the Horde.
It is worth mentioning that the Scarlet Crusade organized a Northern Expedition, which cannot be ruled out as an action by the dreadlords to send troops and talents to the Lich King.
After the Scarlet Crusade was completely wiped out in the Northern Expedition, the remaining personnel were infected with the plague and turned into undead. Finally, they were wiped out under the cooperation of several forces.
At the same time as the Scarlet Crusade was wiped out, the Lich King sent Deathlord Darion to lead an army of 10,000 Scourge to attack the Chapel of Light's Hope. At the critical moment, Highlord Tirion Fordring came to rescue, and the Lich King failed again.
This time, Darion and his death knight subordinates were liberated and formed the Knights of the Ebon Blade.
Tirion then announced that the Argent Dawn and the remaining members of the Knights of the Silver Hand would merge into a new organization: the Argent Crusade, dedicated to defeating the Lich King and eliminating the Scourge.
Galen admitted that he had a good impression of the name Crusade, so he called his forces the Crusade.
While Galen was reminiscing, Tyrosus explained the reason for stopping Galen, "Senior Brother, please tell me, how did the brothers of the Templar Order save the people infected with the plague!"
As soon as these words came out, all the paladins stared at Galen with burning eyes.
At least in this time period, the quality of the first batch of Knights of the Silver Hand members was the best. They were devout in their beliefs, and they possessed the virtues that a paladin should have!
At the same time, they also sincerely wanted to save the people of Stratholme. Not every paladin put loyalty to the royal family first. At this time, they left so dejectedly, and they may have harbored resentment towards Uther.
Perhaps if we had persisted a little longer, we could have changed the ending of the massacre?
Unfortunately, there were no ifs. At this time, the time wasted on the road was enough for Arthas to complete his plan.
"Sorry, I am not a learned mage. I don't know how to cure the plague produced by this death magic, but I am a paladin, and I have a unique way of using the Holy Light."
"The Templar Order has already guarded Strahnbrad, which has been severely affected by the disaster. More than half of the townspeople have been infected with the plague. I directly used the Holy Light to forcibly cleanse their bodies and force out the power of death."
"But what follows is that the patient's vitality is damaged in the confrontation between the Holy Light and the power of death."
"However, we in the Arathi Highlands may not be able to treat the plague, but we are good at conditioning patients' bodies and replenishing damaged vitality!"
"Please help us, Senior Brother! Lordaeron needs us to save it!"
"Hey… you have been disbanded, and under the name of treason. You are still gathering illegally now. Even if Uther goes to the king, it will not change this matter. Do you think the father will attack his son's prestige?"
"Don't talk about saving the people, I'm afraid you will be arrested by the Lordaeron army…"
"Hum…"
The knights expressed their anger one after another. Who would have thought that they had shed blood for the Alliance to resist the orcs a few years ago, and then served Lordaeron to suppress the orcs and trolls in the past few years, but in the end they were reduced to traitors!
"Everyone is a brother who believes in the Holy Light. I understand your feelings. There is a big conspiracy hidden behind the undead plague. As long as we can find the mastermind behind the scenes and solve him, we can clear the name of the Knights of the Silver Hand."
"Tell me… Galen, what should we do!" Including Uther, all the paladins expressed their opinions together.
Galen had been talking for a long time, wasting a lot of saliva, and finally, finally, he got to the point.
The point is that Baron Tyrosus took the initiative to call him. Galen finally couldn't refuse the hospitality and reluctantly made suggestions for everyone.
"I went all the way north and learned that the entire Wilde area, which is autonomous in the north, is experiencing an undead plague. Except for large towns, all the small villages in the wild have been destroyed. Now what you need to do is to protect these surviving gathering points and prevent them from being breached by the undead."
"I will transport medicines to replenish vitality to you through the waterway of Caer Darrow!"
"What you have to do is persevere!"
"Wait for me to find out the mastermind behind the scenes!"
