The civil service system of the Daiying Empire is really reliable. To maintain the stability of a regime.
Carlos felt this way because he remembered the famous saying - provide all support except help.
From before the Northern Expedition to Northrend to now, any attempt by the Alliance's Grand Marshal on democracy and equality has failed. Any attempt to improve the subjective initiative of the citizens of the Eastern Kingdom will eventually turn into a carnival for both supporters and opponents.
After all, the vested interests could obviously grab it directly, but under the constraints of Carlos Barov, they could only sell it at a high price.
So I already understood
Carlos, who believes that "as long as you do something, there will always be people who are dissatisfied", he has no interest in the war in Northrend.
There are so many elite soldiers and generals, so much material and technical support, if they can't defeat the Scourge, Azeroth will be destroyed.
Whether N'Qiraj is destroyed or not has nothing to do with the Eastern Kingdom. Even if Uther blows up Ulduar, it doesn't matter to Carlos.
After all, although the King of Lieping was indifferent to the King of Knights, Carlos really got on Leiden's line.
Although the Titan Guardians have a transcendent status, after all, they are not their creators and masters. They are not Titans with a position in the Pantheon. They also have shitty things in private.
The father-daughter game between Odin and Hela, the husband-and-wife game between Loken and Sif, the grievances between Ulduar and Tyr have different ideas, and Raiden, the most powerful person, misses work all year round...Azeroth has come to The way it is today, these Titan Guardians are probably guarding a lonely person.
No, they did a good job of protecting the ancient gods from eating and drinking well. It's not that Carlos is full of complaints and resentment towards the Titan Guardians, but that behind the simmering situation in the Alliance is the Church of the Damned and the Twilight Sect who are fanning the flames.
The current situation is that the Alliance Taxation Bureau is responsible for most of the daily work of the Alliance Intelligence Office. More than 70% of the agents of the Alliance Intelligence Office are engaged in special clean-up work against the curse and the Twilight cult.
Don't call it the Alliance Intelligence Division, just change its name to the Anti-Suppression Bureau... It is lonely and painful to independently advance technology. There are no opportunistic methods, only constant trial and error, waiting for a miracle in every draw.
But Azeroth doesn't understand this pain very well. Because everyone relies on archeology to learn science and technology.
The night elves are studying the ancient ruins of the Kaldorei Empire, the Alliance is studying the ancient ruins of the Titans, the trolls of the tribe are studying the ancient ruins of the Empire, and the goblins are thinking innovatively while thinking about the ancients of everyone, so that the dwarfs appear to be Some misfits, in order to fit in with the group, the dwarfs became the biggest sponsors of the Ironforge Explorers Association.
The most confusing ones are the Draenei, the spokespersons of Holy Light Technology and the forerunners of interstellar civilization. They are currently studying the ancient ruins of Exodar.
In this case, Carlos firmly adhered to one principle: he could not move until the enemy did not move. Even if there is news that the Alliance's Northern Expeditionary Army has been annihilated, as long as Sir Lothar does not move, the Alliance's Grand Marshal will never leave his loyal Lordaeron.
The awakened ones in Lordaeron City have secretly mobilized more than 200,000 troops to leave Lordaeron. What exactly does Sir Lothar want to do?
This is no longer a problem that can be solved simply by relying on personality charm. Neither Uther nor Varian mentioned any signs of large-scale actions by the Awakened in the letters they sent back. What are these passionate and ruthless Avengers planning, another betrayal at the Gate of Scourge?
Carlos didn't want to think about it, but he had to guard against it. After all, the fact that Sir Lothar was resurrected without any regrets smelled too strong of conspiracy and was a bit pungent.
Carlos believes that his greatest advantage is humility. He does not think that his tricks will make him an opponent of the Ancient Gods. Therefore, it is best to seize the historical opportunity period when the Burning Legion defeated the Ancient Gods and was trapped, and defeat the enemy with a magnificent frontal offensive. A practical way to kill the gods.
But the presence of Sir Lothar made Carlos unable to sleep or eat well. It's not that Anduin Lothar's existence hindered Carlos from becoming emperor for such a superficial reason.
But if Anduin Lothar is the enemy, it will be difficult for Carlos to judge how many of his comrades around him are firm.
If you ask why, it’s Anduin Lothar! Even though he had won too many times and got into the bandit account of the invincible commander, Carlos still did not dare, unwilling, hope and fear to face the undead scourge army controlled by Anduin Lothar.
The entire army command skills of Lordaeron were brought from Anduin Lothar from Alvin, who experienced blood and fire. Military generals, including Carlos, are essentially Anduin Lothar. Disciples and descendants.
It is precisely because he once served under Anduin Lothar that Carlos clearly understands how big the gap between a general and a marshal is.
Uther understood this inner fear, so Uther did not object to Carlos's attempts to kill Sir Lothar.
Turalyon also understood, so Turalyon would rather be looked down upon in Stormwind City than return to Lordaeron. He was unwilling to face his second
"Father". Even Varian Wrynn was subconsciously avoiding the existence of Sir Lothar, selectively forgetting his uncle who had come back from the dead.
An open secret, a living dead that does not exist, a name that cannot be mentioned, an existence that locks the Alliance Grand Marshal in Lordaeron. If he does not move, Carlos will not dare to move.
"So Sir, how long do we have to wait?" As Thoras Trollbane's army went to Northrend, the person in charge of Stratholme changed to Liras Windrunner.
Stratholme and the city of Lordaeron are at odds with each other, making it impossible for the Alliance to concentrate its forces for a strategic decisive battle. This is also an important reason for the Awakened to maintain their existence.
But Anduin Lothar did not trust the necromantic spell system inherited from the Scourge. He never used necromancy for important information exchanges and task arrangements. Instead, he required Liras to come to Lordaeron every ten days. City, talk face to face.
"Wait until the Lich King shows his flaws." Anduin Lothar replied while looking at the Stratholme project progress report brought by the death knight.
A question posed by a "young" death knight.
"The Alliance and the Horde have accumulated enough redundant military strength. Varian Wrynn used artillery fire and explosives to destroy the weak parts of the mountain, and forcibly opened a path to the Icecrown Glacier from the northeast of Dragonblight. On the new path, Uther and Saurfang are also making final preparations to storm the Gate of Scourge. If we don’t take action, we may be considered by the living to have ulterior motives." Anduin Lothar sighed. He did not refute Liras' remarks, but instead encouraged and praised the other party.
"You are right. If we are still alive, it will be exactly what you said. The problem is that we are already dead, Liras, we are already dead. Although this body can move and think, we are already dead. , every time you think about a problem, you must remind yourself, Anduin, you are already a dead person, and sometimes you are quite irritable." Sir Lothar's emotionless complaint made Lilas silent.
"So I have been thinking about a question. Could this be a conspiracy? The Lich King can actually enslave our souls and control our bodies again. He regards us as a knife that must kill the living." Facing Anduin .Lilas was silent for a long time before responding to Lothar's hypothesis.
"It's possible."
"So, knowing what Carlos Barov is afraid of, I have no other way. I can only ask Solas to make a second exception to test how far the Lich King can do it. Before that, , we can't do anything." After listening to Anduin Lothar's explanation, Lilas nodded.
"Understood, Sir, I will urge everyone to speed up the progress of the project when I return." Anduin Lothar nodded, and explained and arranged some matters related to Stratholme, and Liras prepared to leave the city of Lordaeron and return to Stanholm. som.
"So, does his soul show signs of being manipulated?" Another hoarse voice answered Anduin Lothar's question in the empty throne room.
"No, his will still belongs to his own soul." If Carlos were present, he could immediately recall that this voice belonged to Merry Dongfeng.
"Hey, I'm becoming more suspicious every day. In fact, what I'm most afraid of is that someone will mess with my soul."
"I'll be watching you."
"You must keep an eye on me."
"..." Regarding Anduin Lothar's request, Merry Dongfeng could only remain silent.
