Don't suffer others' hardships, and don't persuade others to do good.
The biggest difference between Carlos and most "traditional" nobles is that he still speaks human language most of the time.
Not to mention the ruling class of human society, looking at the entire Azeroth, it is basically the same basic method of holding honey in one hand and a stick in the other.
Before the undead natural disaster broke out, Alterac was an isolated bad boy. He was engaged in militarism and ****, and his hats were slapped one after another.
Lao Ba's family is suffering. As long as there are only a few reactionaries, there will be one round of purges after another.
Doesn’t Carlos’ old father-in-law have any responsibility?
Who can guarantee that Terenas Menethil II has not regretted his daughter's marriage, and has not considered the rewards of forcibly labeling the Barov family as collaborators in the later stages of the Second Orc War? .
It's just this moment and that moment.
The orthodox heir of Stromgarde is still serving as a general in the Honor Keep of Draenor, and the Trollbane family has already gathered in the cemetery with its father and son serving as filial piety.
Otherwise, where would Jaina have the starting population to build Theramore, who knows what the name is?
Or to put it another way, if the people of Stromgarde were not dissatisfied with the current ruler, how could the daughter of Shanghai be the pirate ship.
The same goes for the Kingdom of Gilneas.
In the Second Orc War, regardless of credit, just hard work, the Gilneans really did not lose anything to their compatriots.
Although most of the food they use comes from the Kingdom of Lordaeron, by clinging to the Silverpine Forest and blocking the land passage for the orcs heading north from Hillsbrad, the Gilneans have really made every inch of their lives count.
This is undeniable.
But is the praise from foreigners useful to the Greymane family in consolidating their rule?
Maybe, but definitely not big.
Anyway, Jean, who was manipulated by Carlos's old father-in-law, inherited his father's throne, but he did not have the same luck as his father.
Terenas' political talent was terrible. He was on the rise until his death. He could use tricks that Jean could not handle.
If given the choice, who would be willing to withdraw from the alliance?
The deterioration of the external environment will inevitably intensify internal disputes.
There are opinions on whether this Greymane Wall is used to prevent foreign enemies or internal strife.
Anyway, Carlos has no intention of interfering in Gilneas' internal affairs.
He took out the letter that Jean had written to him and read it carefully. Carlos finally read four words between the lines before he became dizzy: Rich woman is hungry!
Bah, it’s three words: Haoyouhu! ! !
After all, the closest synonym for friendliness is begging for food. Carlos felt that he was not entirely to blame for his previous wrong judgment.
Wait, the right to choose sometimes does not mean the initiative. Communication between national forces is often a back-up advantage. Let's see what Jean is going to do before we talk about the follow-up progress.
After all, there is still a little time left for Garithos.
Lordaeron still has an army of millions of skeletons that can be used, and a forced wave will definitely destroy the Garithos army.
But the fact that the undead natural disaster doesn't eat or drink doesn't mean there is no cost.
Even if you don't give the skeleton soldiers armor, you still have to give them a broken axe.
In the past, the people left behind by the natural disaster in Lordaeron transported a large amount of supplies eastward to Alsace. If they wanted to re-arm an undead army of sufficient size, they would definitely need time to prepare.
The Alliance is not a waste of iron. The skeletons of Lordaeron are preparing for war, and humans will only stand behind Garithos and shout Old Iron 666.
In fact, after the replacement of the leader of the Scourge Legion was made, the alliance's senior leaders had already made strategic adjustments.
Just because the city of Lordaeron was stuck there, the Alliance's strength was forced to be divided into two parts. The basic principle of defending from the west and attacking from the east remains unchanged. The subsequent troop recruitment and material reserves have been tilted towards Garithos.
It's just that there's not enough time.
After determining the military strategy that did not require a tenacious defense, the mood of Garithos' soldiers was relatively stable.
Carlos had seen the battle plan led by Magni, which basically consisted of building bunkers.
Defend in layers and give up slowly.
For the defenders, orders were issued to retreat within a certain number of hours after contacting the enemy.
This is the situation that Carlos turned around after working hard for a long time.
With the existence of the Kingdom of Alterac, a force that has not been destroyed by the undead natural disaster, the strategic depth of the alliance exists, and the northern territory of Hillsbrad is not so valuable that it requires human life to fill the hole.
What Garithos and the remnants of Lordaeron are struggling with is actually the issue of counterattack.
After guarding the mountain path of Silverpine Forest, and after the harvest is completed next summer, we can consider the military strategy of regaining the city of Lordaeron.
If we retreat, we will have to look north to the capital for another year.
If humanity retains two million more active forces, the undead natural disaster will lose two million potential soldiers. The alliance can really afford it.
Unlike other alliance leaders who discussed giving up the northern territory of Hillsbrad, Carlos's psychological bottom line was even lower, and it didn't matter if he fought another Tarren Mill or even Southsea Town defense battle.
But these words cannot come out of his mouth.
Not only could they not reveal any real bottom line, but they had to show a tough stance that would not give in any ground, not only to deceive the natural disaster spies lurking within the alliance, but also to boost morale.
So Carlos even discussed with Daelin the issue of the Kul Tiras navy coming ashore.
But the two big men guarding the fleet roster and writing and calculating, after all, it is only a drop in the bucket.
Just like that, the day passed.
Gilneas City did not reply.
Fish for fish and fry sea monsters.
Another day passed.
Gilneas City still didn't reply.
Carlos didn't want to wait any longer and decided to set off back to Nanhai Town after sunrise the next day.
Then, that night, Tess Greymane actually arrived in a canoe alone at the island where Carlos and Delin settled.
Are all alliance princesses monsters?
Looking at their eldest niece who was almost exhausted, Carlos and Dailin were filled with questions.
"Save father, save brother..."
Um?
My eldest niece, who spoke very eloquently before, has suddenly had an attack. You must not just say that the murderer is... and then die!
Carlos quickly used the holy light to calm Tess Greymane, and Daelin also took out the flagon and gave her a large sip of water of life.
Carlos originally wanted to quarrel with Daelin, but the princess of Gilneas was obviously not a coquettish girl. She drank a lot of wine without any adverse reactions, and even took the flask of wine on her own initiative.
Burp~~~~~
Tess's face turned rosy after she had regained her breath.
"Lord Godfrey rebelled. Lord Crowley's men captured the south gate of Gilneas City. The city was in chaos. I jumped into the moat and followed the waterway out of the city. Uncle, save my father!"
What's going on?
Carlos and Daelin walked out of the tent at the same time and looked at the dark night sky in the direction of Gilneas City.
No, arson is absolutely unavoidable in any siege battle. When a big city like Gilneas City is set on fire, there will be no movement at all from a mere three to five hundred miles away.
Wait, Godfrey? !
Carlos thought of something and quickly returned to the tent.
"Godfrey, is he the Godfrey who guards Gilneas City with your brother?"
"Um."
"He led his troops back to Gilneas City?"
"Um."
"What reason?"
"have no idea."
"Liar city?"
"Um."
"Crowley's with him?"
"Um."
It can't be such a coincidence!
Carlos instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this matter. After comforting Tess with kind words, he decided to go to the sea outside Gilneas City at dawn tomorrow to check the situation.
Although Daelin's ocean-going fleet will definitely not be able to cross the Biting Reef, it is still possible to send a messenger to explore the wind.
However, Dailin and Carlos's concerns were completely different.
"Our eldest niece is very fierce. Jenna is completely incomparable. Her physical fitness is almost as good as that of my unfortunate eldest son."
