"And what about your purpose in helping humanity? Judging from your past style, you are by no means a selfless and unrequited elf. ”

Anastarian had a nonchalant smile on his face, as if he knew everything about Patrick.

Patrick replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty Anastarian, I think that only the victorious nation is entitled to share in the spoils of war, what do you think?" ”

"Oh." His Majesty Anastarian nodded in agreement, but said intriguingly, "It makes sense, but are you sure that the Lordaeron Alliance will win?" ”

"Not sure, but even if I don't win, what do I have to lose? Quel'Salas has the Well of the Sun, so what are we afraid of, maybe we need to worry about the orcs and the human race will grow stronger, but we have Bandinorell, don't we? ”

Patrick knew that all the High Elves believed that the Well of the Sun and Bandinorell were invincible, and with this turtle shell, the High Elves would be safe as long as they hid in the Forest of Eternal Song, and Patrick also happened to use His Majesty's thoughts to testify to his words, after all, as the king of the High Elves, Anastarian's worship of the Well of the Sun was also unparalleled.

"You're cunning and don't look like an elf." Patrick's compliment put Anastarian to good use: "So what do you want from humans?" I don't think there's anything about humans that would make the Silver Moon Council look at it. ”

"I really don't look down on those things of the human race, but, Your Majesty, the development of the Cabolon family and the establishment of the City of Daylight, all the consumption and materials are basically from my trade with the human race, and the suppression of the Cabolon family by several big families such as Sunwing, Morning Stalker, and Dawn Star has never stopped, if I don't find another way, do you think the four councils will let me rise?"

In fact, what Patrick said was perfunctory, and the core of the problem was only less than half of what he said. In the future, Lordaeron will perish, and Patrick just wants to speed up the circulation of gold coins in his hand and exchange them for supplies in case of future emergencies.

And more importantly, the city of sunlight is in a rapid development, all kinds of materials are consumed greatly, and the flow of gold coins is more like an endless river, price rises are inevitable, what is the best way to control the inflation caused by rising prices?

The first is war, which diverts internal economic pressures, such as a certain Stars and Stripes. Second, it is nothing more than crazy consumption, going to other countries to buy big, buying crazy, buying short, buying other countries, not to mention knowing who it is. Third, collect seigniorage from other countries and let them bear their own domestic inflation.

For example, a $100 bill may only cost one dollar to print, but it can buy $100 of goods, and it is passed by the whole world, and the difference of $99 is the seigniorage, which is also the most done by a certain Stars and Stripes nation.

When the city's economic problems disappear, it seems to be developing steadily, but in fact, the speed of development hidden behind these factors is absolutely jaw-dropping. It is impossible to issue paper money in this world, play finance, and Patrick can only rely on buying and buying to disperse the inflation in the City of Daylight, while accumulating a large amount of basic materials.

What are gold coins used for? Gold coins are very useful, and there are absolutely countless creatures that fall under the money, but for those skeletons and zombies of the Scourge Legion, the role of gold coins is no different from the mud on the ground, so Patrick will spare no effort to trade with Lordaeron, sell those ordinary goods, crafts, and specialties to exchange for various materials of Lordaeron.

Of course, these cannot be explained by Anastarian, this world does not have these concepts, and can only turn the excuse to the development of the City of Daylight.

Moreover, being able to show more faces in the midst of Lordaeron is also a good gain, so that after the humans of Lordaeron are familiar with the elves, in the future, the cooperation between himself and the remnants of Lordaeron will be more advantageous.

Anastarian didn't have any expression after hearing this, and seemed to agree with Patrick's approach, in Anastarian's opinion, Patrick's doing this is understandable, as long as he doesn't do anything to endanger the kingdom of Quel'Thalas, Anastarian can't say anything.

"Your Majesty, the orcs have retreated, the emergency in the royal city has been lifted, and the commander of the Alliance Army, Anduin Lothar, has led his troops to continue the pursuit of the orcs, and many of Lordaeron's soldiers have responded one after another." After saying that, the prime minister of the Lordaeron Kingdom also breathed a sigh of relief.

When the orcs attacked the royal city of Lordaeron, almost the entire kingdom was full of soldiers, and some women were even crying, they did not dare to imagine the fate of the royal city after it was breached, after all, the tragic situation of Stormwind City was there, and once the city was broken, their fate could be imagined.

"It's also fortunate that Lothar discovered the orc's movements in time and rushed back from Quel'Thalas to rescue them, otherwise it would only be a matter of time before our defenders were breached." The old king also sighed.

The Prime Minister made another shocking news: "Admiral Dalein Prodmore's son, Drake Prodmore, was killed in battle, and his fleet was wiped out, all of them died at the hands of the Horde's Red Dragon Knights, and not even a handful of ashes were left for Admiral Prodmore." ”

Terenus's face was full of sadness, he had known Dalin and Lothar, and Lordaeron and Kul Tiras had also had many contacts, and Tyrenus was also very uncomfortable when he learned that Dalin had lost his son in his old age: "My old friend, he should not have suffered such a major blow, where is Darein now?" ”

"Lead the combined fleet of Kurtilas out to sea to hunt down the remaining tribes."

"A national proclamation is issued to express condolences to Admiral Dalin, and Lordaeron will always remember his dedication to the Alliance."

The prime minister changed his current expression, and his old face was full of solemnity: "Your Majesty, there is one thing I want to report to you." ”

Seeing the Prime Minister's expression, the old king also realized that something was out of the ordinary, and Tenaris waved his hand to let the attendants and guards around him retreat.

Seeing that everyone had retreated, and that there were only himself and the king in the entire hall, the prime minister spoke: "Your Majesty, don't you think that Anduin-Lothar's ability to control the alliance army is too strong? ”

"Why do you think that?"

"I have to say that Anduin-Lothar made great contributions in the Battle of the Royal City, and the Alliance Army he led was also high morale and ambitious, and his command and troop cohesion were second to none and unmatched in the entire human kingdom."

After the praise, the Prime Minister began to say the main point: "But Your Majesty, according to the Chief Minister of War, after several wars, the soldiers of the Alliance have begun to be loyal to Anduin-Lothar, and all agree with this regent from the Stormwind Kingdom, which seems to be unfavorable to the Kingdom of Lordaeron. ”

"......" Tenaris thought about the scene when he met with Lothar on the day the orc army retreated, and the prime minister also knew that Tenaris had already been moved, and no king wanted his throne to be threatened.

"Your Majesty, here is a copy of the results of the deliberations from the House of Nobles, please take a look."

Tenaris took the parchment and looked at it for a long time, after a struggle of thoughts: "What are you going to do?" ”

The Prime Minister knew that Terenus had agreed with the report of the House of Lords: "Lordaeron will not be charged with betrayal, he only needs to change the military layout slightly, the news from the front, there has been a split within the tribe, and it is easy to repel those green-skinned orcs, when Lothar pursued the orcs, due to the problem of troops, he had to fight those orcs head-on, even if he would win, it would only be a miserable victory, and the orcs would not let go of this opportunity to kill the enemy commander." ”

Finally, the old king put the parchment in the brazier and burned it: "Be careful not to overdo it. ”

"Minister, retire."
