What is an alliance?
Carlos had thought about this question repeatedly. This article was first published by
Then reason gives its very terrible results.
The Alliance is just a military organization that exists to fight against the Horde.
Because orcs are so scary, let's join the Alliance.
Because the people around us are so scary, let’s join an alliance.
Because the alliance is so terrible, please let me join you.
Without the orcs, there would be no Alliance.
After all, visionaries are only a minority, and short-sighted people are all living beings.
Why has Lothar been unable to march south?
Is it because the remaining orc army remaining in the Hillbrad area is lagging behind in their desperate resistance?
Is it because there are not enough ships to transport it?
Is it because food and grass are scarce and humans are unable to survive?
Maybe there are all of them, but the main reason is that people's hearts are scattered.
People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team.
Everyone knows that orcs are very dangerous, but haven't they been beaten away?
I have made contributions to the fight against beasts, I have shed blood for the alliance, and I demand reward!
This is what the nobles think.
I endure hunger, I pay taxes and serve, and I have never been beaten by orcs. Why should I drive away the orcs and I still have to scrimp on food and clothing to supply the army.
This is the thought of the ignorant but numerous civilians on the rear.
Many of the natural chasms in the Palatine Gulf that hindered Anduin Lothar from going south were actually the ravine called selfishness in human nature.
How much did you lose in the war?
Five million gold coins, what about you?
Ten million, maybe.
Oops, it’s so miserable, I have at least 20 million!
After the war in the Hillbrad Hills ends, all parties will finally have to count their losses and heal their wounds.
then. At the request of Grand Marshal Lothar, it was inevitable that a competition would begin.
Putting aside the loss of life and mental trauma, which cannot be measured in gold coins, tangible property can always be valued.
So. The damage predictions by various forces with ulterior motives began.
Carlos didn't know what was going on in other countries, but the damage in Alterac was estimated. The moisture content is huge.
Rounding up doubles, shortfalls and corruption are included, bad debts and dead debts are not counted, just to compare with the worst.
When the Minister of Finance gave the figure that Alterac lost at least 7,949,143 gold coins during the war, Grand Duke Alex Barov added directly to the front of the number. After thinking about it for a while, he asked the Finance Minister to double it again.
As a result, the war loss data of the Kingdom of Alterac was newly released.
After getting the data given by each country. Sir Lothar took action.
Give out money.
The Alliance is not a profit-making organization, and everything in the Alliance is reasonably created by all countries.
Therefore, the confiscated loot should always be returned to everyone.
Distribute it equally according to the data you gave.
Come on, the property we seized from the orcs that originally belonged to us is here, take it.
Okay, okay, sit down in a row and eat some fruit.
But that's not right. How come you have less than two million yuan?
Even if the numbers I provided are a bit too high. The numbers provided by others are all fractions, so it can’t be just that!
Oh, maybe the orcs transported it back.
…
The orcs must die!
Lothar used a piece of flatbread that she didn’t know existed. Mobilized the enthusiasm of short-sighted people for war.
However, Lothar, who is fully engaged in the southern expedition, has his own selfish purpose of recovering the Kingdom of Stormwind. His position is no longer neutral, so how can he prevent the intrigues between countries.
For the post-war rights and interests of Hillbrad Hills, the four parties involved were secretly fighting endlessly while wearing the same jersey.
This is why the domestic forces in Alterac dare to rebel against Carlos.
Foreign forces emboldened them.
"Your Majesty is here!"
At the wedding banquet where blood flowed, more than a third of the people fell in a pool of blood. After several rounds of cleaning, there were still so many nobles. Carlos glanced around casually and nodded to greet his father and Ned. Then he strode towards the podium.
"Ned! You don't deserve a good death, you betrayed us!"
"Betrayal? No. I am loyal to His Majesty Carlos, and I have a clear conscience. And you are the traitors."
"This is impossible. Wasn't the Regicide already assassinated in the wetlands?"
The rebels who were still alive let out an unwilling cry.
not like this!
That's not the case!
That's not how the script was written!
It was agreed that Stromgarde and Lordaeron would work together to overthrow the Alterac royal family. It was agreed that everyone would recommend the restoration of the first queen. What about the parliamentary rule?
Ned, you traitor!
Don't you want to wear a crown for your grandson?
It was obviously you who contacted us first. It was you who proposed overthrowing the Barov family. It was you who said that Carlos was dead and Alex wanted his second son to take the throne.
It's you, it's all you, what you said is so reasonable, but when things come to pass, it's us who die!
"Alex, I'm in the south. I had nothing to do and went hunting. This thing is quite rare, so I'll give it to you as a gift."
After Carlos finished speaking, eight guards walked into the venue carrying a huge head on a pole.
Amidst the exclamations, some scholars have already recognized that this is the head of the tidal giant.
The solidified and sticky black blood continued to drip from the wound, and the huge fishy smell even covered up the smell of human blood in the venue.
After kissing his mother's cheeks and kissing the back of Sasha's hand, Carlos sat down on the table, facing the guests, smiling speciously and saying nothing.
No one thought that Carlos would actually appear here at this time. The highly targeted killings in the past had caused many uninformed people to have their brains shut down. It wasn't until Carlos, who was fully armed, sat down and crossed his arms, looking at them with a playful look, that everyone remembered to salute.
"What do you think the Paladin is. A pedantic tin can, a rigid dogmatist? What do you think the King is. An easy shield, an easy fool? Why doesn't anyone think about it? If you can't be more cunning than the enemy, the Saint How can a knight insist on his own justice? If I can't be stronger than you, why should I be your king!"
If it were put in a debate, Carlos's speech would be completely refuted by changing concepts and using strong words.
However, at this moment, what we are fighting for is momentum, and what we are talking about is aura.
Carlos, who had always given people an image of strong personal force and gentle political aura, suddenly exuded a domineering aura, making everyone present feel a sense of novelty and trembling.
Including Ned and Alex, and even Carlos's mother behind him.
The king is responsible for fighting the war, and the grand duke is responsible for running the country. Many people have formed such a fixed mindset.
But today, right here, everyone seemed to see another Carlos.
"Let us cheer for Earl Ned. Because of the old Earl's achievements, the last cancer in the kingdom has been eradicated, and the people of Alterac will finally be united."
Amidst the sound of the soldiers banging their shields, the nobles began to cheer and clapped their hands in praise, although they did not understand what they were so happy about.
"As a reward, I will use the Hillblade Hills land twice the area of Gavin Highlands as the transfer land for Earl Ned. At the same time, there is also good news to tell everyone, that is, I have decided to build a new building in Tarren Mill. A city that serves as the new capital of the kingdom.”
After putting Earl Ned on the fire, Carlos broke the news.
"As your future queen, Lordaeron will use Anhador as a dowry. Alterac will surely rise!" (To be continued.)
