In this Kingdom of Storms, there is really only one city left.
After reading Turayan's letter, Carlos had a ridiculous idea.
Otherwise, after cleaning up Alsace, let's get the old father-in-law to shine again.
The current situation in Stormwind City is truly the fault of Terenas Menethil II.
It is human nature to be indolent and indolent. It can be criticized but does not need to be refuted.
The original restoration of the kingdom was originally the product of a compromise between various forces. Who doesn't love the fertile land of Elwyn in the south? Like Lordaeron, all the good land is already owned, and reclamation is time-consuming and laborious.
So the Kingdom of Storm, which seems to be blooming now, is essentially a loose political entity.
Supporting King Varian Wrynn are the Iron Horse Brotherhood left by Terenas in the north and Lothar.
This is also the reason why Turayan can intervene in the internal affairs of Stormwind City.
Turalyon is the current leader of the Sons of Lothar.
According to paper data, there are more than one million people in the Kingdom of Stormwind, and the population of Stormwind City alone exceeds 600,000.
Now that the city of Lordaeron has been de facto destroyed, Stormwind City is the largest human city in the Eastern Kingdom.
However.
The foundation of Varian's rule is so weak.
During the Second Orc War, the Brotherhood of the Iron Horse suffered heavy casualties as one of the main forces in the war. In addition, in the later period, the backbone was attracted and divided by the Kingdom of Lordaeron. In fact, only one out of five members returned to the south.
Just these thousand people, plus the support of Terenas, brought Varian Wrynn to the throne of such a country with a population of one million.
Carlos was crowned king that year, on the one hand because of Aiden as a target, and on the other hand because of the century-old heritage of the Barov family.
Recalling the early days, with official appointments and lavish spending, coupled with the twenty-year purge campaign, a small country like Alterac almost exhausted Alex Barov's energy. This was because the country's military power was completely controlled by Ka. The situation in the hands of Los Barov.
So Carlos was not surprised that Varian had a hard time in the south.
However, what Carlos did not expect was that the entire Stormwind Kingdom's armament had reached an incomprehensible level.
According to the paper data, the population is over one million, and there will only be more black households and hidden households. A bold guess, there is no big problem if the population of the entire south exceeds two million.
But what about armaments?
Turayan's letter revealed to Carlos that there were six nominal legions in Varian's hands, and the full strength was only 3,000 Stormwind Royal Guards. The other five legions combined may be less than 10,000.
shocking!
This was the real reason why Turayan did not dare to move the expeditionary force back to the north.
The expeditionary force of less than 30,000 people is actually the absolute pinnacle of military force in the south...
Turalyon was afraid that something big would happen to Stormwind City if he left.
Especially in the current public opinion environment of the Alliance, even the dwarves of Ironforge have opinions about their southern neighbor.
Coupled with the fact that the Gilneans accepted their punishment, Genn Greymane was unwilling to completely sever ties with his compatriots when there were challengers in the country, and wanted to use Carlos's name to deal with the opponents.
This is not difficult to understand. Isolationism is just a tendency. The problem is that Gilneas has already accepted the punishment conditions proposed by the alliance.
In this case, the climate of public opinion is ripe for punishing Stormwind Kingdom.
And the material foundation is sufficient.
According to Turayan, the Alliance did not need to mobilize an army of 200,000 to expedition to Elvin.
Just pull Ironforge and send thirty to fifty thousand people to take over Stormwind City. Maybe the people will welcome the king.
This fucker...
Did Carlos have the confidence to send 50,000 people south?
There really is!
Sir Anduin Lothar was a reputable man during his lifetime, and he was a reputable dead man after his death.
The undead civil war in the city of Lordaeron is more fierce than the civil war among the living. The awakened people who hate the Lich King really do not hesitate to die. They must kill all the minions of the Lich King and fight harder than the Alliance.
Such a large-scale war cannot be concealed. At present, it seems that the number of awakened people in Lordaeron is less than the minions of the Scourge, but their combat effectiveness and fighting will are stronger. In addition, Sir Lothar has obtained connections during his lifetime. , bought arms directly from the Alliance, and actually fought on a par with the Lich King's minions in the war.
Therefore, the biggest threat to the Alliance army at this time is actually Stratholme City.
Unlike the city of Lordaeron, which can be approached for reconnaissance, the Stratholme region is an area heavily contaminated by the plague. The natural environment limits the possibility of the Alliance's advance.
After recapturing Cowlin's Crossing, neither the high elves nor the human army showed much interest in clearing Stratholme City.
Anyway, the communication line has been opened. At worst, troops will be sent to protect every caravan contact.
The purpose of dispatching a large army to conquer a place where the safety of water sources is not guaranteed is to exhaust the Master to death.
The situation was like this. Carlos took advantage of the opportunity when no one dared to argue with his authority to accelerate the integration of human forces. Even the trolls were too lazy to intervene when they started playing Loa again, let alone Stormwind City in the south.
Yes, the Troll's plan to save the Exodar caused waves within the Alliance.
The Loa demigods are out, what do you trolls want to do?
As a result, Carlos asked Uther to lead the team, and after forming a complex investigation team and taking two newly commissioned aerospace battleships to Sinsaro for investigation, the disturbance calmed down.
Union artillery, OK.
Demigod Loa, no.
The Loa, who can't even withstand a volley of main artillery fire, can be studied by the trolls if they want.
On the contrary, many members of the investigation team who came to the Hinterlands for the first time discovered that the trolls and orcs had actually developed Sinsalor well. A large number of specialty products were very competitive, which greatly contributed to Sinsalor's export earnings.
The Undead Scourge destroyed Lordaeron's inherent order, but the alliance's current chaotic-good attributes are a pretty good situation for Carlos.
The human race of Lordaeron, which has a population of three million, still retains its arrogant friendliness towards other races. In the face of the undead natural disasters, orcs and trolls are acceptable second-class citizens, while high elves and high elves are neighbors who want to take advantage.
Although he is arrogant, he is still friendly at least.
Especially the biggest event right now is the Exodar rescue operation.
Everyone in the Alliance knows that in two months, an alien spacecraft will crash into Azeroth, and the Alliance is studying a rescue plan.
Whether it is a truly reliable magic association or a civilian scientist, they are all working on a rescue plan for the sake of high bounties/humanitarianism.
Therefore, during this period of time, the argument of punishing Stormwind City could not make waves.
Until Turayan sent the second secret letter.
Carlos was surprised.
Because the little cousin Varian Wrynn is missing.
