Chapter 299: A Slap in the Face Is Like That (3800 Monthly Pass)
Magic is a magical thing that has an extremely unscientific side, but also has a certain fixed law that shows its supernatural side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Duke combined the elements of fire, frost, and arcane into a single ball of energy, Lothar looked at Duke like a walking bomb.
After being released by Ryan several times, Duke gave up on treatment.
In March, the days of spring flowers are blooming.
It was also the three-month anniversary of Duke's loss of his little maid. Uh, it came down to Duke going to Karazhan after leaving Vanessa in the town of South Seas. Then, Vanessa, who felt that she seemed to be a little unable to help, lost her temper and ran to a thief's holy place to cultivate.
That's right, it's the Ravenhold Manor in the northeastern part of the Hillsbrad Hills. Although the little maid left a note saying that she was cultivating somewhere in the area, Duke immediately thought that it was here.
It stands to reason that it would be quite useful to recruit a team of spies. It's a pity that in the next period of time, I really can't use it, and Duke is busy, so I don't care about it for the time being.
In March, the tribe will have a big move. Van Cleeff and Stallman, who had spent the autumn and winter putting down roots in the Wild West, wrote to ask when it would begin.
Duke's order was: wait for the main force of the tribe to leave the southern continent first.
It is impossible for the main force of the tribe to be in the southern continent for a long time, and if it were a human king, he might be satisfied with occupying such a vast piece of land, but unfortunately it was a tribe, and the aggressiveness of the orcs would not let them stand still.
The middle of winter is over, and the troops from last year's Nanhai Town Battle have regrouped in Nanhai Town.
Lothar was furious, and in a fit of rage, he hurried to Lordaeron again to lose his temper with King Terenus.
The reason is simple, it is time for Lordaeron, Dalaran and Alterac to refuse to enter a state of all-out war.
"What do you mean by that!? Do you really think that you can wipe out a million orcs with this little bit of people now?Even if you put aside the hard labor that is not very effective in combat, even if the elite of the tribe is already decreasing, the total strength of the tribe is still nearly 500,000!" Lothar slapped the table fiercely.
In the face of Lothar's anger, Minecil II was also helpless.
"My sign order has been issued. But most of my lords choose to fulfill their obligations in monetary terms. So, it's okay to ask for money, but you can't give you more if you want soldiers. Sorry, Commander Lothar. ”
This is the strange thing about the feudal knightly system, the people are the private property of the lord, and the lord is at the mercy of the king. The king, however, did not have the right to directly recruit the lord's subjects without a valid reason.
The tradition of the Arathas Empire is that unless it is a formal, land-grabbing invasion or an attack on their own territory, the lieges have the right to choose to respond to the king's conscription at the cost of money and goods.
If Terenus excessively requisitioned troops from his territory, it would have a chain reaction such as the weak lord and the strong minister.
Lothar almost went mad and turned to ask Antonidas.
Speaker Dalaran was also bitter: "Something happened to Dalaran, a large group of neutral mages who are not long-sighted and do not know the general situation of the world protest against Dalaran's excessive involvement in the war. They thought they could stay out of it as long as Dalaran was fine. Then, taking advantage of the accident of one of our parliamentarians, we directly staged a protest to demand a parliamentary re-election and a series of reforms. ”
Lothar was so angry that she almost pulled her hair away, and finally set her sights on King Aiden of Alterac.
"Alterac is a small country, and requisitioning one more infantry regiment is already the limit. If we continue to levy it, we won't need orcs to attack, and half of us will starve to death in winter. Well, that's why a certain deputy commander-in-chief bought the grain of our Barov family. ”
At this moment, Lothar had the heart to kill Aiden. Under the pretext that the national strength is weak, and the excuse that the food is given to the people of the storm, he directly shirks the responsibility.
In the final analysis, these three are not because they saw Stormgard on the eastern front on the Sadol Bridge. On the central front, there were storm refugees carrying the town of Nanhai, and on the western front, there was naval protection from Kurtilas. This group of short-sighted nobles and mages thinks that it is none of their business to die and die to foreigners.
The bad roots of human nature are revealed at this moment.
Lothar was almost out of wrath!
His roar echoed through almost the entire Lordaeron Palace.
"Tell you damned nobles and idiot mages who think they're safe. Now the strength of the tribe is three times that of the alliance! The individual combat ability of the orcs is also three times that of humans! Once our coastal defense is breached, then every human race will have to pay the price of blood for the refusal of your three countries to enter a state of all-out war! Money! Money! Money! Money is a fart! The head is gone, and you are still talking about money!"
Aiden muttered, "If the line of defense is breached, someone must be not doing their best." ”
King Dalin spat the ground: "Phew, since the siege of Stormwind last year, the entire shipyard of Kul Tiras has been building ships in three shifts 24 hours a day. I drained every piece of the coffers to build a shipyard and train every Kurtilas fisherman into a sailor. Now I wish the orcs would descend on a hundred goblin airships to your palace in Alterac and have a barbecue party in the courtyard of your palace. ”
With that, Dalin kicked open the door of the council chamber and walked away without looking back, leaving Aiden, a pig's liver-colored man, roaring angrily in the chamber.
On this day, the kings of the four countries, including the Stormwind Kingdom, which had already entered a state of full-scale war, broke up with the heads of state of the three countries who were only willing to enter a state of local war.
If it weren't for the March 15 event, it might have been a precursor to a split in the Union.
On this day, the Third Fleet of Kurtiras cruised the waters off the Palatine Bay.
The lookout suddenly saw something unusual, and on the horizon, countless blood-red sails suddenly appeared.
The lookout sounded the alarm!
"Dangdang!" the mournful sound of alarm bells alarmed the entire fleet.
"Hell!, why are the Bloodsail Pirates here?" said Rear Admiral Arkent, commander of the Third Fleet, angrily.
However, there was something else he saw in the telescope that made him shudder.
Boat!
A dozen huge warships!
It's definitely a battleship-class ship, but it has a completely different shape from a human ship. Except for the few sails, the whole ship was devoid of beauty, almost like a huge pile of garbage floating on the surface of the sea, piled up by countless miscellaneous wooden products.
However, the cannons placed on the ships clearly told the Rear Admiral that these were all warships! and they were orc ships!
"Commander, please instruct!" shouted the first mate anxiously.
Inquiries were also sent from other ships.
"Who has the navy of Kurtilas been afraid of on the sea!?Raise the battle flag!
A day later, the entire Coalition learned of the destruction of the Third Fleet of Kul Tiras.
The nations are shaken!(To be continued.) )
