"I hate this title, Secret Envoy. Everything that happens to those who claim to be Secret Envoys has happened. All the secrets they want to keep are eventually leaked. This is a cursed, magical word. It is forbidden, it must be forbidden!"
Carlos vented his nameless anger, but no one dared to answer the king's words.
In two months, which is neither long nor short, Carlos has negotiated a large trade deal worth millions of gold coins in Ironforge, but all the parties in the alliance are trying to push each other away in the north, which really makes people with a discerning eye watch. Get angry.
Hillblade's war is a matter of life and death for all the countries in Lordaeron. Everyone who has money and strength contributes, and the fight is still like that. However, the Southern Expedition is also related to the life and death of the Alliance and the tribe, but there are so many people who have healed their scars and forgotten the pain, and are holding back in various ways. Sir Anduin Lothar personally sat in Nanhai Town and coordinated the army's operations, but he still couldn't suppress this unhealthy trend. Terenas also had a headache when he received Lothar's letter asking for help. Not only in several other countries, but also in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, there are many different voices within.
In the northern continent, the wandering orcs are still harassing the villages. The short-sighted nobles have begun to think about asking for rewards after the war.
For a while, it seemed that only the remnants of Stormwind City and the Kingdom of Alterac were thinking about fighting the orcs.
This feeling is invisible and intangible, but it can bring personal pain to people. When Carlos received twelve letters in a row urging him to return to Southsea Town to attend the alliance conference, his temper completely exploded.
The loud curses did nothing to improve the situation. At the end of the curse, Carlos calmed down. The victory or defeat of a war depends on the balance of strength. Uniting all the forces that can be united is the only way to win. Those who obstructed the Southern Expedition, apart from a small number of speculators, were mostly those who had shed blood and sacrificed their lives in previous wars. You can't fault them because they deserve to be in the league. But you can't let it go. If people's hearts are lost, the team will be unable to lead. Just like in Aotianliu's novels, do you dare to say anything but kill or bury him? Ha, I'm afraid civil war will break out in the countries of Lordaeron first.
Therefore, this matter can only be attacked through political means, and force is useless.
Carlos used magic communication to discuss with his father again and again, and finally decided not to participate in the alliance meeting in Nanhai Town.
reason? Injured, sick, and unable to walk, the king of Alterac took the lead and fought on the front line against the Horde. This was enough reason.
Let the Alliance's Grand Marshal Commander-in-Chief Anton Inlosa deal with the bad things. The Alterac people can just play the role of their own thugs.
But political figures, such as King Carlos Barov of Alterac, must pay attention to their reputation. You can do whatever you want behind the scenes, as long as you don't get caught. Carlos is injured, sick, and can no longer walk. You need to recuperate in Ironforge. This is fine. If you go to the Searing Gorge to recuperate, that's a bit much.
So he drew lots from his bodyguards and picked out an unlucky guy who would eat and drink for him every day while pretending to be sick and being treated like a pig. Carlos secretly went south with a group of his younger brothers.
Before leaving, Carlos looked at the battle map, and the more he looked at it, the worse he became. The Sardo Bridge has still not been taken down, and the Alliance garrison in Menethil Port is still only 30,000. The orcs' surface forces have begun to rebuild, and the transportation of supplies has become increasingly difficult. The Alliance troops in the wetlands, let alone Grim Batol The orcs have created an oppressive situation, and they lack the ability to even leave the western wetlands. The Alterac army with the portal has actually become the most intimidating force in the Eastern Wetlands. However, due to technological power and the ebb and flow of elemental tides, the portal's transport capacity has its limits. With the increase in troops to 14,000, Carlos' power in the wetland has reached its limit. The Alliance was unreliable, so they could only rely on themselves. While guarding against Grim Batol's Dragonmaw Clan, they repaired roads, began to infiltrate power into Khaz Modan, and hoarded resources. There is a gap only when there is comparison. For a while, Carlos had the illusion that I was the only one working in such a large alliance.
Although I know it's an illusion, this feeling is still unpleasant.
Fortunately, Magni is an honest person. When he learned that Carlos intended to move north and south with Ironforge to clear out the Khaz Modan area, he very generously proposed a compensation clause and was willing to provide money and materials in addition to the signed trade agreement. compensation. After being pretentious for a while, Carlos readily accepted. This was the only good news before departure.
Ymir's loyalty was trustworthy, but he was too careful. After returning him to the Wetland Camp to take charge of daily affairs, Carlos appointed an up-and-coming general as the leader of the remaining personnel, and then appointed the general with a vote. The warrior, armed to the teeth and with kind eyes, was at Thorium Point for a friendly state visit.
There is no doubt that the dwarves are the best in earth and stone engineering in Azeroth. The 1,147-meter-long mountain tunnel was cleared and smoothed in just over a month. It is hard to accept it.
As soon as they entered the Searing Gorge, the Alterac man in the big coat felt stupid.
One thousand one hundred and forty-seven meters long tunnel, one end is a world of ice and snow, the other end is a scorched earth purgatory, the style of painting is too different.
There's nothing you can do about it, just take it off.
The first two days were spent adjusting to the weather, and it was not until the third day that the group returned the same way.
It was a big mistake because Carlos underestimated the geographical characteristics of the Searing Canyon.
Because they were not adequately prepared, the large army of more than a thousand people could not find sufficient water sources.
With no other choice, they withdrew 700 people and returned to Khaz Modan. They went to the dwarf village to buy many large wooden barrels filled with drinks such as ale. After streamlining the team, Carlos and his party truly set off.
Along the way, Carlos felt quite regretful that he did not see the Crystal Spider, the tyrant of Dustfire Valley that the guide said. However, the attack of the Dark Iron Dwarves allowed Carlos to find some fun.
Who gave them the courage to stalk to the end, and who gave them the confidence to make a sneak attack late at night. The Dark Iron Dwarves, who numbered less than five hundred people, dared to attack the camp.
Before Carlos could take action, a group of brave soldiers had already completed the counterattack.
The people who can be taken by Carlos are all ruthless characters who dare to say anything to the orcs and fight three of them. There are also more than a hundred active paladins of the National Knights of the King's Religion, more than twenty mages, and A high elf as fierce as a rabid dog.
Although the skin color of the Dark Iron Dwarves is naturally concealable in the dark night, Sola noticed the actions of the Black Iron Dwarves from a kilometer away. The Alterac soldiers, who were resting, announced their arrival with an inhumane massacre, but they forgot that their king was actually a martial artist.
Without fighting, Carlos was in a bad mood, and the Dark Iron Dwarf had no follow-up actions after this attack.
After traveling all the way, Carlos finally arrived at Thorium Post eleven days later.
The guards who were left by Carlos to escort Brian Bronzebeard in the Burning Plains looked at their king with tears streaming down their faces, and their eyes almost glowed green.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, the captain of the guard was captured by the witch!"
After hearing his subordinate's words, Carlos, who originally wanted to pat his shoulders and shake hands, was confused.
What I'm talking about isn't Tangshan Burial. What's going on with this inexplicable sense of immediacy? (To be continued.) m.
