The red sun shines all over the east, and the God of Liberty sings heartily.
Look, there are thousands of mountains and valleys, walls of iron and copper.
When I first opened my team, we had seventeen or eight boats and thousands of guns.
The fleet has already set off, heading south from Quel'Danas along the coastline, upstream from the mouth of the Lordaemir River, passing through the city of Lordaeron and Dalaran and finally reaching Alterac.
Although it will arouse speculation from the countries along the way, no one will interfere with Quel'Thalas' actions.
Because except for Carlos, no one else could guess what Anastarian wanted to do.
The radiant high elves are naturally superior to others.
Before the truth surfaced, as long as Carlos didn't step out of the cabin, who would have guessed that the king of Alterac was on the battleship in Silvermoon City at this moment.
The fox pretends to be the tiger's power, but that's all.
At least Carlos knew in his heart that he was not a tiger until he regained his power.
The road to a strong country goes hand in hand with the road to the strong.
Alterac's unique terrain is naturally like this. When he was still the alliance's generalissimo, he actively planned the future for the kingdom.
The same is true for Anhador, and the same is true for Hilbrad.
Are the lost ten years a loss?
Look at the angle.
After several months of accumulation, Carlos gradually mastered the power he obtained from Medivh.
Although he had many doubts, Carlos tentatively believed that Medivh gave it to him.
This power is undoubtedly powerful. If Varimathras dares to stand in front of Carlos, Carlos dares to tear off its Scourge Wings and mash them into side leakage wings; if Nefarian dares to ask Carlos this Whatever it is called, Carlos doesn't mind teaching it what cosmic CQC is; if Sylvie Morgan dares to bully her again, Carlos has nothing to fear...
Ask yourself, this power cannot be obtained by practicing hard for ten years.
But what's the cost?
Gaining strength, Carlos lost momentum.
The Alterac spirit condensed because of him also gradually dissipated with his disappearance.
The development of Hillblade was stalled due to the entangled interests of various forces, and the development of Anhador was changed beyond recognition due to the interference of the old father-in-law.
After gathering the intelligence, Carlos found out helplessly that the Great Alterac Plan, which he and his father had planned countless days and nights, was essentially bankrupt.
Because of Gilneas' existence, Lordaeron was still very tolerant of Alterac. When Gilneas withdrew from the alliance and began to seclusion, Alterac became the main target of Lordaeron's suspicion.
We will not quit if we quit, and the alliance will never quit in this lifetime.
Unlike Genn Greymane, Alex Barov, as the real leader of Alterac, deeply understands the consequences of withdrawing from the alliance and understands the endless troubles that temporary relief will bring.
And within the alliance led by Terenas, what can Alterac do?
none.
Why did Gilneas leave the Alliance?
There are three main reasons.
In terms of national strength, Gilneas is almost the same as Stromgarde; in terms of financial resources, the policy of opening up the Silverpine Forest before the war began consumed a lot of the Gilneans' savings; in terms of war losses, as the backbone of the orcs' northward march, half of Gilneas' land was implemented Scorched earth policy.
Domestically, the struggle for power between the three major families and the Greymane family has weakened Gilneas' overall strength. The Gilneans, who originally pursued isolationism, are very dissatisfied with Jean's lack of voice in the alliance. Jean's rule is based on Signs of wavering.
From the perspective of the external environment, the consequence of Terenas' overt support and covert support of Genn is Gilneas's political isolation.
From an economic point of view, without the actions to carve up Alterac after the war, each country would be internally digesting the trauma caused by the war, which means whoever contributes more will suffer greater losses. At this time, Lordaeron's advantage of having more people was infinitely magnified.
Under this circumstance, Terenas' actions to revive Stormwind City, build Watchfort, and build a detention center to imprison orcs became the three straws that broke Greymane's mind.
If you want to continue to fight for the right to speak in the alliance, you must contribute money and effort. However, after experiencing such an unprofitable war like the second orc invasion, what has Gilneas, which has shaken its domestic foundation, and the powerful dog Menethil to do? Family feud?
Quitting may be the best option.
What about the Barov family?
How much better could it be.
Just carry it on.
Just to build the Watch Fortress, the funds allocated by various countries are a large amount of money, plus the issue of the resettlement of the orcs...
Even two major purges could not stop the growth of careerists like leeks.
It is cut into a long strip shape running from north to south by mountains and lakes, from Keldaron to Anhador, then through Alterac City and finally to Nanhai Town. Because the plan to develop Hillblade was frustrated, the Barov family There is no way to effectively control Hillblade, and there is no new capital city that Carlos once envisioned. On the contrary, with the recovery of production, the importance of Alterac City has become more and more prominent.
After all, the terrain of Caerdalona and the lake-center castle where Carlos lived since he was a child existed as an important fortress during the Arathi Empire. Although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not suitable for large-scale reclamation and is still used as a summer resort. A tourist destination exists.
Although Anhador is suitable for development, there is no danger to defend in the west. If it has an enmity with the Kingdom of Lordaeron, it can be conquered in a day.
After the Second Orc War, Alterac transformed from a fringe city into an important hub connecting the north and the south.
This change also forced Alex Barov to become more conservative within the alliance. In addition to not withdrawing from the alliance, his national policy became more and more similar to Gilneas.
Because the eldest brother cannot afford the settlement allowance, the younger brother will always say he is sorry.
Brother, I'm sorry, you blocked my way.
In ten years, although people have not forgotten the great Knight King, those guys with ulterior motives in Alterac have begun to connect.
After all, Anhador, which was used to exchange for Brill, was a large desolate swampland, which was used by Terenas to block the passage between Keldalon and Alterac City. Now Anhador produces food worth half a million gold coins every year.
The ownership of Anhador is nominally shared by Carlos and Galliya.
After all, although the Barov family did not win the battle for the Hilbrad land title, they did not lose either. At least the large area of land in the central and southern parts was essentially owned by Alterac.
Alterac, which had lost Carlos, seemed weak, but it had a standing army of more than 100,000 and already had a rich "legacy".
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Gilneas was essentially forced away by Terenas, and forcing Alterac to do so in a short period of time would have extremely negative consequences, so the wise ruler of Lordaeron chose to stumble secretly.
Time is on his side after all.
The connivance of the Kingdom of Lordaeron has aggravated the turmoil in Alterac. Alex Barov has not left the city of Alterac for seven years.
Because he was afraid that if his front foot left Alterac City, Alterac's back foot would split.
A turbulent Alterac is very much in line with the requirements of the Cult of the Damned. Political conspirators and religious madmen make peace with each other, and there are even shadows of Dark Iron dwarves and dragons.
You're the first to shoot, Carlos made a lot of noise back then, now you're slowly making a list.
The result of the competition between various forces in Alterac is the turmoil in the city of Alterac.
The unrest cannot be suppressed even by a nominal army of 100,000 people.
Carlos didn't have the extra energy to play the political game of sitting in rows and eating fruits with these clowns.
He is back, just to clean up the smoky atmosphere of Alterac.
Therefore, let’s talk about it after the troops arrive at the city gate.
How can we give the guys from the Curse Sect a chance to fight monsters and level up?
If my former little brother, Carlos, wants to be killed, I will kill him myself!
