The country is based on the people, and food is the first priority for the people.
If Carlos was a traditional nobleman, he would not have to worry about the lives of those refugees and rely on the reserves in Alterac to survive the famine caused by the war.
However, if you can't follow your heart, what's the difference between being a rebirth-traveler and a salted fish?
It's a crisis, but it's also a turning point.
It is a burden, but also a wealth.
During Aiden's time, the population of Alterac was less than 200,000. However, after Carlos accepted the refugees from Hillbrad, the current Alterac Kingdom is crowded with at least 300,000 people. Although it is still a small country compared to a behemoth like the Kingdom of Lordaeron, objectively speaking, the domestic population increased by 50% despite losing a large number of people in the war, which has great consequences for the long term. Benefits gained.
So Carlos withstood a lot of pressure and insisted on properly handling these refugees.
The people are ignorant and can only see what they will have for breakfast three days later. The people are blindly obedient. If you don’t tell them repeatedly what to do, they will do whatever they want. The people are snobbish. Who can give them the advice? They will support whoever gets more benefits.
But the people also know how to be grateful. Although the white-eyed wolves are always killing them without stopping, most people will not starve to death as long as they have enough to eat.
Therefore, Carlos tried every means to raise food and wages. As long as the two-month vacuum period was over, the Barov family's status as the Alterac royal family would be stable, and King Carlos' crown would be stable. With this With one country as the foundation, you will have the confidence to do anything.
Then, in the spring, enjoy the service of three thousand maids at the Lake Castle of Caer Daron. Cool off in the summer at Tarrenmere's apple orchards. Watch the red leaves dancing in the maple forest in Burrell in autumn. Enjoy a cod feast in Southsea in winter. No matter what your needs are, just ring Barov's butler's bell and you'll be satisfied.
This is the life I should live, this is the life a successful time traveler should live, this is the correct way to unfold the rebirth stream. Even in Azeroth, I still want to build a big Crystal Palace!
Just when Carlos cordially met with Lothar's envoy, the two sides had a sincere and friendly exchange. After making initial confirmation of the Alterac army's next course of action, reality pulled Carlos back from his fantasy.
Being a human being is difficult. It’s hard to be a human being, why is there so much conflict even though no one is at fault?
Lothar is undoubtedly a true hero. It is Lordaeron who said that there is hope for mankind. It can be said that without Lothar, there would be no alliance. On the surface, the six human nations of Lordaeron are good to each other, but secretly no one obeys anyone. If Lothar had not taken the lead, it is estimated that even if the orcs reached Quel'Thalas, they would not be able to form an alliance.
What about yourself? For the three hundred thousand people of Alterac. Even though I can’t be called a savior, I can still be regarded as a qualified king. As a king, there is nothing wrong with seeking happiness for your people. If it weren’t for me, history might not have turned this corner, and the people of Auckland would inevitably have their country destroyed. Dead, displaced, and exiled by the Alliance.
Lothar was not wrong, and neither was I. So who was wrong?
Is the world going to take the blame again?
It's a pity that Carlos, who is over 50 years old in his past and present lives, has already passed the second stage of high school. I won’t have anything to think about because of inner struggles, but depression is inevitable after all.
So while meditating, Carlos thought of a sentence he once heard.
Justice is also divided into camps.
Lothar's request is actually not too much. Because of the abnormal behavior of the orcs, Lothar hoped that Carlos would postpone the Tarren Mir attack and detach a force with enough threat to draw the orcs' energy from the flanks, creating an advantage for the main showdown between the Alliance and the Horde.
Lothar's request and reasons were reasonable and convincing, but Carlos couldn't and didn't dare to take action.
For the same reason, food and grass are ready.
A tiger will not fall down even if it dies, and a man will not change his fortune even if he dies.
Alterac, where the Barov family is in power, still maintains a tough and high-profile style within the alliance, showing everyone the heritage of the Barov family. It shows the strength of a centuries-old family.
However, this is all fake. There is no one who is not injured in internal fighting. It is nothing more than knocking out teeth and swallowing blood.
The food for the 30,000-strong army is pretty good. Carrying horseback and traveling through the starry night, he could stock up on two and a half days' worth of supplies every day. In about ten days, Carlos would have enough rations to support a medium-intensity battle. What was really difficult was the fodder for the army horses. Beans were easy to find, but hay could only be transported by horse-drawn carriages.
Carlos should be proud. Because of his overt and covert efforts, the alliance at this moment is far more powerful than the alliance in the previous game. Alterac's 30,000 troops are not an indispensable force in Lothar's eyes.
What truly makes Alterac stand tall among the nations is precisely the legacy left by Aiden - the Alterac Mountain Cavalry.
With the Alterac National Knights as the backbone, Carlos could easily form a cavalry force of 10,000 people even after the Great Purge.
The strongest war horse, the fiercest driver, and the finest tradition. It can be said that this unparalleled and irreproducible cavalry regiment is Carlos's strongest and final trump card.
Neither military horses nor skilled riders can be cultivated in a short time.
Although there are many types of beasts in Azeroth, horses are still the most familiar mounts to humans. However, horses are also divided into three, six or nine levels, with different characteristics in terms of shoulder height, endurance, and explosiveness. The Alterac mountain horse breed's endurance is not as good as the long-maned horses of the Arathi Highlands, and its explosive power is inferior to the pony horses of the Silver Pine Forest. Only its shoulder height stands out from the crowd. But there is one thing about Alterac's alpine horse breed that no other horse can match, and that is wildness. When facing a pack of wolves, other horses will use their own speed to seek safety, but these alpine horses in the Alterac Mountains. Even when facing a mountain lion, the first reaction of these horses is not to escape, but to gather together. group. As long as the lion dares to act rashly, he will face the stampede of horses. Unless they are alpine overlords like giant mountain lions, the Alterac mountain horses are never afraid of the prying eyes of carnivorous species.
Although life in the mountains of Alterac is not easy, both humans and animals have honed a unique temperament different from other places in Lordaeron in the harsh environment.
Don’t be afraid of forgetting, don’t be afraid of death, and truly pursue the brilliance of life like a summer flower.
Looking at a person based on words on paper is always biased. Only when he truly put on the Iron Crown and sat on the Iron Throne did Carlos deeply feel that the kingdom of Alterac was imprinted with Aiden's mark from its roots.
Aiden is not afraid of death. He really loves this country and the country he has fought for his whole life, so for Alterac, he can give up other people and other humans.
Only when you stand in that position and reach that height can you understand some of the things you once laughed at.
Therefore, even if Lothar may be dissatisfied, Carlos will not split his four twos into three and one.
When everything is ready, Alterac's iron will crush the orc's skull.
However, we are not ready yet, so how can we seek death.
Therefore, in addition to handling military affairs, restoring Talrenmir's administrative and organizational capabilities, and coordinating conflicts and disputes, Carlos also had to deal with the daily routine of wrangling with envoys every day.
Just like that, another week of fulfilling days passed.
While Carlos was having a routine dispute with the envoy, a new envoy arrived.
"Is Sir Lothar so impatient?"
Carlos is a little unhappy. I am also a king after all. Are you going to summon me to see me with twelve gold medals?
"Baishuihe, the alliance was defeated."
The envoy kept smiling, walked up to Carlos's ear and said these words.
"Oh, is there such a good thing?"
Carlos responded with a look of surprise and exaggeration before waving the others out first.
The first special envoy saw that the second special envoy was so abnormal. He hesitated for a moment and stayed, but let his entourage go out.
"what happened?"
When Carlos saw that the area was cleared, his face immediately sank.
"Marshal Lothar asks your majesty to be vigilant around you and be careful of the giant green fire meteorite falling from the sky. Do not send troops until you get further information."
The new envoy tore open the lining of his coat and took out a secret letter and handed it to Carlos.
After reading three articles word for word, Carlos felt that he had been a villain in vain, and Lothar was a pure man.
In the Battle of the White Water River, the Alliance laid down 20,000 corpses, and the White Water River stopped flowing. Judging from the description in the text, the orcs used Hellfire on a large scale. More than a thousand Hellfires fell from the sky, completely defeating the Alliance's White Water River defense line. The morale of six legions.
In this battle, the alliance lost all face and suffered heavy casualties. Only Uther was the mainstay, and the power of the Lightbringer frightened the demons in the crisis like the waves crashing on the shore.
Three hundred hellfires charged together, but no one could defeat them. (To be continued.)
