Returning to the Northland Fortress with the Toothed Ones of the three hundred and thirty-seven trolls, Carlos felt that his trip to Stratholme was almost over.

The prestige of the Stratholme region has also been brushed up, the money has been earned, the trolls have been beaten, and the war profits have been made, and the benefits that should be taken are basically standing.

At the final military summary meeting, the subordinates raised a question: what if the trolls turn against the water?

This question woke up the smug Carlos, sure enough, one person is short, everyone is wise, and he is too natural, what if the prime minister with broken teeth is overthrown by someone in a coup d'état?

Awakened by a word, Carlos stood up from the conference table, walked over to the wall-mounted map, and pondered carefully.

"Carlos, you see, we've built the Northland Fortress in this location, blocking the trolls' access to Stratholme City and the surrounding area."

Tulayan also stood up and pointed out the location of the Northland Fortress on the map.

"Then, as long as we build the Southland Fortress here, block the trolls from taking the mountains and intrude on the passage of Daronshire, and then suggest that the lords of Stratholme City arrange a patrol cavalry of five hundred men to cover the Kaulin crossing, it will be foolproof. The number of trolls who attacked and harassed on the mountain road was less than the five hundred patrol cavalry was enough to exterminate, and the number was too large to have a problem with material supplies. ”

Tulayan pointed out on the map what he thought was the ideal location of the Southland fortress.

A troll strategy made me a little fluttery!

Carlos woke up, he actually had a kind of mentality that Lao Tzu is the protagonist and the destiny belongs to me, which is a big taboo! Generally speaking, people who have this kind of thinking are walking on the path of destruction, that is, if God wants to destroy people, he must first make people crazy.

He shook his head slightly. Paying attention to the map, he thought about it in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh that Tulayan was really a natural commander, and the viciousness of this site selection was terrible.

At the beginning of the address of the Northland Fortress, Carlos consulted with Sedan. Da Sohan. And the decision was made after several days of field investigation, and the location of the Southland fortress, Tulayan made a judgment only through observation and map research in the process of hurrying.

The result of the judgment was not much different from the location of the Southland sentry in Carlos's memory.

I underestimated the heroes of this world, but fortunately, I had good friends around me, and I didn't let myself be inflated.

Carlos was glad that he had discovered it early, so he agreed to everyone's proposal.

After improving the defense of the Stratholme area, he will retire the army, and the commission of Terenus will be completed from beginning to end.

The nobles of Stratholme heard of Carlos' victory at Zumashal and came to work in droves. And after hearing about Carlos's strategic plan. It is also full of praise for the friendship between Lordaeron and Alterac that will last forever.

Be kind, Carlos is doing this thing kindly! Eating and drinking for nothing and getting money are not enough, just leave, and help the master's house block the hole in the wall before leaving, which is really kind.

As a result, the magnates of Stratholme paid their troops even harder.

It was during the construction of the Southland Fortress that Aurelia returned.

Aurelia left alone and returned with only two henchmen.

"Your Majesty, it's a great joy to meet again."

Aurelia saw that she was greeted by old faces. A sunny smile was revealed.

"Carlos, I need help."

In a small conference room where there are no idle people, etc. Aurelia spoke succinctly about her request.

"What happened? Aurelia, speak up! ”

In front of the goddess in his mind, Tulayan was always unable to show his due demeanor, and he looked like he was stunned, and Carlos couldn't see Tulayan at this time and Tulayan, who was talking eloquently at that military meeting, as a person.

"Aurelia, I don't know what identity you're talking to me right now. Friend, or emissary of Quel'Thalas? "Carlos came from the province two days ago, and his posture is very correct at the moment.

"Friends."

Aurelia replied.

"Then you can say it."

Carlos nodded.

So Aurelia recounted her and her family's misadventures, and with her melodious voice and deep, hot but restrained emotions, Carlos felt like she was listening to a top-notch musical.

"I'm sorry. Aurelia, please mourn. Tulayan gestured to his chest to represent blessings and said to Aurelia.

"After that, I used my personal prestige and connections to form a volunteer army of 500 men in a very short time, and gradually grew in the battle, and now there are more than 1,000 people. But......" Aurelia's face turned hideous, "those fools of the Silvermoon Council actually think that providing me with weapons and equipment is support, I have only a thousand men, and the enemy is ten times my number, and I am powerless to save my suffering compatriots, just as I am powerless to save Lillas, my poor brother." ”

Aurelia said sadly, sobbing quietly.

"Carlos, how can we help our mutual friend?"

Tulayan's question came as a complete surprise to Carlos, and made Carlos decide that this friend was worth entrusting his life. Even when the goddess is crying, Tulayan is clearly aware of his position and situation, and he is not over-the-top or fascinated, but respects the actual coach Carlos very much.

"Aurelia, first of all, Quel'Thalas has not joined the Alliance, and it is a big political issue for us humans to enter your Quel'Thalas. Secondly, how can you help us? I can't joke with the lives of thousands of soldiers, and if I fail, or I, Tulayan, our army fails, Stratholme will be greeted with a bloody massacre, you know. ”

Carlos said calmly.

With memories of her previous life, Carlos certainly knew about Aurelia's fate and what happened to her brother Lillas.

But what does this have to do with Carlos?

It's not cold-blooded, it's a very real question, what is our relationship, are you worth it for me to expose all kinds of flaws, what kind of unreasonable and unexplained weirdness to help you. Lillas. The Life and Death of Windranger and his Carlos. Barov has a half-dime relationship?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he Carlos. Barov is a rotten good guy. I can't see dead people, especially my friends, beautiful female friends have dead people at home, and they send troops to save Lillas. Windranger.

How do you face Quel'Thalas's questioning, what are your human armies doing in my Quel'Thalas?

How do you deal with the Alliance's questioning, Terenus paid for favors to ask you to come to Stratholme for help. You went to the territory of the High Elves to be a good person, what do you make your fellow human colleagues who are also in the alliance think?

Therefore, without Quel'Thalas's formal request, Carlos would not have stepped into the territory of the High Elves, and Carlos would not have done all the good deeds that would be regarded as stupid things.

Moreover, Quel'Thalas's joining the Alliance to declare war on the Horde was also an important turning point in the Second Orc War, and if Carlos was a bad guy and saved Quel'Thalas, the Sun King and the bosses of the Silvermoon City Council felt that the world was peaceful. The alliance formed by humans is so capable of fighting, we elves continue to eat and sleep and beat Doudou.

Isn't that hilarious!

Moral correctness does not equal political correctness, and Carlos, as the king, has no reason and no position to remind Aurelia and all the High Elves of what could happen, because the one named Carlos. The man of Barov is the king of Alterac and the king of mankind.

"I hope you can lead your army north, and I will cooperate with you to exterminate the trolls."

Aurelia spoke her expectations.

"Wait. With me? I'm going to exterminate the trolls? Aurelia, do you need a break and a drink? ”

Carlos reached out and stopped Tulayan, who wanted to speak. Aurelia said this too artistically, and the subjective relationship is completely reversed.

"Carlos, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been careful with you, but now you are the only one who can help me, those innocent people who help me. Stand at the height of a leader. I understand His Majesty's decision well, but as a warrior, I can't let go of the suffering that lies ahead. You've helped us now, and we, the Queldore Elves, are rewarded. ”

Aurelia found that the emotion card was not very easy to use, and began to reason instead.

"Makes sense. But it's not enough, I'm here on a mission, and you're a general, you know. ”

Carlos coldly refused.

"Trolls aren't scary, it's the tribes and the orc warlocks who stand behind them that are scary. Your fortress can't withstand the onslaught of this army, and if you help me, you're helping yourself. ”

Aurelia is not wrong, she belongs to the truth. Carlos was well aware that King Anastarian of Quel'Thalas. The Sunstrider will not let the trolls run rampant, and after investigating Gul'dan's small actions of stealing rune stones, the Sunstrider Dynasty has enough strength and foundation to destroy the Zuaman trolls of Zujin. After all, the Northland Fortress was newly built, and there were no supporting facilities, so it was impossible to survive the onslaught of the trolls at any cost. But with this Northland fortress alone, humans can keep the trolls at bay for at least three months, and that's enough.

"Aurelia, you've asked of me more than a friend can give. You don't want a rare gadget or a sum of money or anything like that, it's six thousand lives. ”

Carlos has one meaning in his words, what about the price? What is the cost.

"If the Alliance can help me eliminate these trolls, I will send another 2,000 volunteers to join the Alliance after the war is over."

Aurelia gritted her teeth and let out harsh words.

"Aurelia, you need to rest, we'll talk tomorrow."

Carlos stood up and prepared to leave.

"Tulayan, can you leave for a while, I have something to say to His Majesty Carlos alone."

Aurelia emphatically pronounced the word "Your Majesty", and Tulayan frowned, nodded and left, closing the door.

"What do you want to say?"

Seeing this, Carlos sat down again.

"What do you hope for, Your Majesty Carlos?"

Aurelia said unceremoniously, but under her beautiful voice, the angry questioning was also unique.

"Aurelia, it's not that I'm hoping for anything, it's that you've crossed the line of being a friend."

Carlos was not angry in the face of unprovoked questioning, and still replied calmly.

"So, how can you help me?"

Aurelia pulled over her chair and sat down next to Carlos.

"What are you doing? Revenge? ”

Carlos knew what was going on in Aurelia's heart, and his words hit Aurelia like bullets in her blood.

"Aurelia, your heart is upset, now you are not the windwalker who is as free and easy as the moon in the mountains and the breeze in the forest, standing in the position of a friend, I don't want you to be like this."

Seeing that Aurelia was silent, Carlos comforted.

"You want me to give up hatred?"

Aurelia's voice took on a trill.

"No, of course not, revenge is sacred, revenge is beautiful, revenge is just, but revenge without a bottom line is meaningless. I think based on your experience, you should be able to understand what I'm talking about. ”

"I know, I understand, but I can't, the people who died tragically in front of me, and my poor brother Lillas, who is called Tyrone. The scum of the Blood Demon even toyed with his corpse......"

Aurelia finished speaking, and tears fell silently.

Carlos struggled for a long time, but still wiped away Aurelia's tears with his fingertips and comforted: "Don't be like this, it's not like you." ”

Carlos suddenly hated himself for not carrying a handkerchief.

"Carlos, at this time, in this place, you are really the only one who can help me, help those innocent and suffering people, help us, help me."

Aurelia pleaded for the last time.

"So I ask you, Aurelia, to help you, apart from your friendship and gratitude, what can I get, what can the Alterac Kingdom get, what can the Alliance get? If I wasn't the king, I could have picked up an axe and helped you cut down the trolls. But I am the king, and I have six thousand men under me, well, there are more than five thousand besides the part of Tulayan, and I cannot make them pay for my friendship. Aurelia, I'm a friend of you, so I'm so blunt with you what you shouldn't have said. ”

Carlos scratched his head, feeling that women in an irrational state are so difficult to communicate.

"Although I have stepped down, there is no new Ranger General in Silvermoon City. Carlos, the Windranger family is not a small family, if you help me this time, you will gain the friendship of the Windranger family. Magical knowledge, martial arts mysteries, money and wealth, political support, what do you want? ”

Carlos's words brought Aurelia back to her senses and began to talk about the benefits and conditions.

"I want Quel'Thalas to join the alliance and fight the Horde together. I want to have a bigger say in the league through your support of Quel'Thalas. ”

In this there is only Aurelia. In the small room between Windranger and him, Carlos spoke his mind.

"You're going to get what you want. Aurelia in Hilbrad is just a Ranger Lord, and Aurelia in Quel'Salas is a Protector! ”

Aurelia smiled confidently.

"Aurelia, I need a valuable collateral. You're about to convince me, but it's not that much, and the promise makes me feel insecure. ”

Carlos frowned and said that it didn't feel good to turn a friend into a trading partner.

Aurelia was silent for a while, then said, "I need to prepare, you will get a valuable collateral." ”

At the end of the talks, Tulayan walked in.

"Carlos, what are you going to do?"

Tulayan asked.

"What do you want me to do?"

Carlos asked rhetorically.

"I'm conflicted."

Tulayan replied.

"I'm struggling."

Carlos sighed. (To be continued......)
