Chapter 225: The Holy Light is above, and you still want to leave if you offend the bishop?
The country is people-oriented, and the people are food-oriented.
If Carlos was a traditional aristocrat, he would not have cared about the lives of those refugees, and relied on the domestic savings of Alterac to survive the famine caused by the war.
However, if you can't follow your heart, what is the difference between being alive and salted fish.
It is a crisis, but also a turning point.
It's a burden, but it's also a wealth.
At the time of Aiden, the population of Alterac was less than 200,000, and after Carlos accepted the displaced refugees of Hillbride, the current kingdom of Alterac was crowded with at least 300,000 people. Although it is still a small country compared to a behemoth like the Kingdom of Lordaeron, from an objective point of view, the increase in the country's population by 50% after the loss of a large number of people in the war is a great benefit in the long run.
So Carlos withstood the pressure and insisted on proper disposal of these refugees.
The people are ignorant, and their eyes are only on what they will eat for breakfast in three days; The populace is blindly obedient, and if you don't tell them what to do repeatedly, they will mess around with their own ideas; The populace is snobbish, and whoever can give them more benefits will support him.
But the people also know gratitude, although the white-eyed wolf always kills endlessly, but most people will not starve to death as long as they have enough to eat.
Therefore, Carlos tried all means to raise food, as long as he survived the two-month gap vacuum, the identity of the Barov family's Alterac royal family would be stable, and the crown of King Carlos would be stable.
Then, in the spring, he enjoyed the service of three thousand maids in the heart of the lake fort of Keldaron. Spend the summer in the apple orchards of Tarummere. In autumn, enjoy the autumn leaves in the maple grove of Brill. Enjoy a cod feast in the town of Nanhai in winter. Whatever the need, just shake Barov's butler's bell and you'll be satisfied.
This is the life I should live, this is the life that a successful traveler should live, and this is the correct way to unfold the flow of rebirth. Even in Azeroth, I'm going to build a big crystal palace!
Just after Carlos cordially met with Lothar's envoys, the two sides had a sincere and friendly exchange, and made a preliminary confirmation of the next course of action of the Alterac army, reality pulled Carlos back from his fantasy.
It's hard to be a man, it's hard to be a man. Why is there such a big conflict when everyone is not at fault?
Lothar is undoubtedly a true hero, it is Lordaeron who said that there is hope for mankind, and it can be said that there is no alliance without Lothar, and the six kingdoms of Lordaeron are not convinced by anyone on the surface. If it wasn't Lothar taking the lead, it was estimated that the orcs would not be able to form an alliance if they hit Quel'Salas.
What about yourself? For the 300,000 people of Alterac, even if he is not a savior, he can be regarded as a qualified king. There is nothing wrong with being a king for the happiness of his people, if it weren't for me, history might not have turned this corner, and the people of Oakland would inevitably be ruined, displaced, and exiled by the Union.
Lothar isn't wrong, and I'm not wrong, so who is wrong?
Is the world going to blame again?
It's a pity that Carlos, who is in his fifties in his past and present lives combined, has long passed the second stage of middle school. There will be nothing that you can't think about because of the inner entanglement, but depression is inevitable after all.
So in contemplation. Carlos thought of a phrase he had heard.
Justice is also divided into camps.
Lothar's request was actually not too much, because of the orc's unusual behavior, Lothar wanted Carlos to suspend Tarummir's attack and divide a force with enough threat to draw the orc's energy on the flank, creating an advantage for the main battle between the Alliance and the Horde.
Lothar's request and reasons were justified and convincing, but Carlos couldn't. I didn't dare to go out.
Again, for that reason, the grain and grass are ready.
The tiger will not fall when he dies, and the person will not change when he dies.
Alterak, who is in power in power of the Barov family, still maintains a tough and high-profile style within the alliance, showing everyone the heritage of the Barov family and the strength of the century-old family.
However. All of this is a kind of goods, how can there be infighting without injury, nothing more than knocking out teeth and swallowing blood.
The food of the 30,000-strong army is good to say, and the horses on the shoulders can be hoarded for two and a half days every day, and in about ten days Carlos will have enough military rations to support a medium-intensity battle. What is really difficult is the forage for the military horses, beans are easy to say, and hay can only be transported by horse-drawn carts.
Carlos should be proud, because of his overt and covert efforts, the alliance at this moment is far stronger than the alliance in the game, and Alterac's army of 30,000 is not an indispensable force in Lothar's eyes.
What really made Alterac stand tall was the legacy left by Aiden, the Alpine Cavalry.
With the National Knights of Alterac as the backbone, Carlos easily assembled a cavalry force of 10,000 men after the Great Purge.
The strongest war horse, the most fierce pilot, the best tradition, it can be said that this incomparable and unrepeatable cavalry regiment is Carlos' strongest and last hole card.
Whether it is a military horse or a skilled rider, it is not something that can be trained in a short time.
Despite the wide variety of beasts in Azeroth, horses are still the most familiar mounts for humans. However, the horses are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and they also have their own characteristics of high shoulders, endurance and explosiveness. The Alterac alpine horse breed is not as strong as the long-maned horses of the Arathi Highlands, and the explosive power is not as strong as the bantam horses of the Silver Pine Forest, but the shoulders are high. But there's one thing that Alterac doesn't match any other horse, and that's the wild. When faced with wolves, the other horses will use their speed to seek safety, but these alpine horses in the Alterac Mountains, even in the face of mountain lions, their first reaction is not to run away, but to gather together. As long as the lion dares to move, it will be faced with the galloping of the horses. Unless it's an alpine overlord like the giant mountain lion, the Alpine horses of Alterac are never afraid of the prying eyes of carnivorous species.
Life in the mountains of Alterac is not easy, but both humans and animals have honed a unique temperament that is different from the rest of Lordaeron in a difficult environment.
Not afraid of forgetting, not afraid of death, truly in the pursuit of life like summer flowers.
Looking at a person from the words on paper, there is always bias, and when he really brought the Iron Crown and sat on the Iron Throne, Carlos deeply felt that the kingdom of Alterac was imprinted with Aiden's mark from the roots.
Aiden is not afraid of death, he really loves this country, this country that he has fought for all his life, so for the sake of Alterac, he can give up other people and give up other humans.
Only by standing in that position and climbing to that height can you understand some of the things you have joked about.
So even if it might displease Lothar, Carlos wouldn't split his four twos into three with one.
When everything is ready, Alterac's iron tools will crush the orc's skull.
However, we are not ready, how can we kill ourselves.
So in addition to dealing with military affairs, restoring the administrative organization of Tarummere, and coordinating contradictions and disputes, Carlos also had to add daily work with envoys every day.
And just like that, another week of fulfilling days passed.
While Carlos was in the midst of his routine with the envoys, a new envoy arrived.
"Is Sir Lothar so impatient?"
Carlos is a little unhappy, I'm also a king anyway, are you calling me to see me with twelve gold medals?
"Whitewater, the alliance is defeated."
The envoy kept smiling and walked over to Carlos' ear to say something like this.
"Oh, and such a good thing?"
Carlos responded with a surprised and exaggerated expression, then waved for the others to go out first.
Seeing that Special Envoy No. 2 was so abnormal, Special Envoy No. 1 hesitated for a moment to stay, but let his entourage go out.
"What's going on?"
Carlos's face sank immediately when he saw that the clearance was completed.
"Marshal Lothar asks Your Majesty to be vigilant around and beware of the green fire meteorite giants falling from the sky. Do not send troops without further information. ”
The new envoy tore open the liner of his coat and took out a secret letter and handed it to Carlos.
After reading three articles word by word, Carlos felt that he was simply a villain before, Lothar pure masters.
Judging from the textual description, the orcs used hellfire on a large scale, and more than a thousand hellfires fell from the sky, completely crushing the morale of the six legions of the alliance's Baishui River defense line.
In this battle, the alliance lost face and suffered heavy casualties, but Uther was the only one who was like the mainstay, and the power of the Lightbringer shocked the demons under the crisis like a storm crashing on the shore.
Three hundred hellfires charged in unison, but there was not a single opponent of the hammer. (To be continued.) )
