Chapter 690 - Fuel Ransom Letter
After Anduin finished sending the bill, all the alliance commanders around him smiled wryly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
What kind of business is this?
How does it sound like we, the heroes who worked hard for the Alliance, have become profiteers?
But no one has a problem with that. Because Lordaeron has really not done well in the past two years. In the end, it's because of Alterac.
Anyway, Lordaeron simply bought and annexed the land of Alterac in official and unofficial forms.
The territory of the Barov family was confiscated by the 'Union'.
However, when it came to how to distribute the confiscated territories, the wealthy Lordaeron chose to give monetary compensation to the surrounding countries, while keeping the price of land as low as possible, while exerting various political pressures, and as a result, the entire Alterac Mountains now changed their surname to Lordaeron.
Only Steinbrad, Icewind, and Hillsbrad Hills remain nominally owned by the nobles of the Lordaeron Federation for the time being.
To everyone's surprise, Duke did not entangle with Lordaerondo in the Alterac Mountains at all, and almost acquiesced in Lordaeron's misdeeds.
No one expected that retribution would come so soon.
Anduin pulled out a letter that Duke had written a long time ago and read it.
"The Alliance's High Command has informed the Kingdom of Lordaeron that the Horde army is now breaking through the Dark Gate at four o'clock this morning and is storming the Watchfort where the Alliance's Southern Legion is stationed. The tribe attacked fiercely, and our side returned fire with heavy artillery, and more than 5,000 tribes were annihilated within half an hour of the battle. In order to prevent the Horde's million-strong army from breaching the Watchfort and then sailing north from the Reed Shores of the Swamp of Sorrow to the Lookout Cliffs of Hinterland, I hereby request your nation to fulfill its duties as the leader of the Alliance and allocate 5,000,000 gold coins......"
A group of coalition commanders covered their mouths and laughed when they heard this.
Nima: Is this a notice letter?
This is clearly a ransom letter!
Tell Luo Danlun plainly, Lao Tzu is fighting here, this is too far away from you, you can not send troops, but you have to give double the money. Otherwise, don't blame me for not having the money to buy shells and can't stand it.
Geographically, the alliance is actually completely true. Because even if the Overwatch Fort is lost, there is a newly established Red Ridge Mountain Fortress on the front line of Red Ridge Mountain, which is guarded by 70% of the forces of the Stormwind Kingdom led by Ryan himself, plus Reginald Windsol's Duke Private Regiment, a total of 120,000 troops.
Someone asked if the Horde would switch to the Headwind Trail?
The whole upwind trail is within striking range of the Karazan Mage's Tower. In terms of magical defense capabilities, Karazan at this point in time is at the same level as the defense of the Sunwell, still above Dalaran and Silvermoon City.
Therefore, the biggest possibility of the loss of the Watchfort is that, as Anduin read just now, the tribe crossed the sea and attacked Hinterland.
If so, who is going to kneel? It's either Lordaeron or Quel'Thalas!
In fact, when Terenus was woken up in the middle of the night, he was very upset. But when he saw the orc limbs flying into the air in the magic mirror, he was silent for a long time.
That's right!
The Horde is here again.
Looking at the enemy situation attached to Anduin and judging by the tribal battle flag, which clearly stated the names of nearly ten first-class tribal clans, Terenus only felt that his stomach hurt.
Knowing that Duke was robbing him, Terenus could only pinch his nose and admit it.
Of course, Duke's reminder was the most infuriating: "We will definitely meet the Horde at the Watchfort with all our might, but please be careful with Lordaeron, based on the confessions of the Horde captives captured by the Alliance, the Alliance Command is confident that the Warsong Clan in the Tirisfaring Glades and the Frostwolf Clan (first-class clan) that is likely to lurk in the Alterac Mountains will echo the Horde's onslaught." ”
Seeing this, Terenus jumped the heart of Lake Lordammere.
Nima, a war song clan, has not been wiped out for two years, and it is enough for her to have a headache.
Where is a first-class frostwolf clan?
When is this intelligence?
Killing Terenus won't be believed, this is the information that I just learned.
There is no need to ask, it is clear that Duke knew early on that Lordaeron did not say anything when he swallowed the Alterac Mountains, but only broke out when he picked the tribe to attack in a big way.
Okay, the two first-class clans of the tribe in the back garden of their own house, even if they are half crippled, when the tribal army arrives, one should join forces with the outside, and Luo Danlun is waiting to destroy the country, right?
Is this a ransom note from the front?
No!
This is a bastard plus a three-level extortion letter!
Terenus slammed the armrest of his throne three times with all his might, and even the ministers at the bottom of the throne ladder could feel the vibration.
His confidant, Duke Chamas, whispered: "We must pay this military fee, and not according to the amount." ”
"Yes, pass me the imperial order, and give it directly to the Alliance Command according to the double amount. The Lordaeron treasury was used first, and then whoever took the land of Alterac was divided according to their shares. ”
Double is 10,000,000 gold coins.
Even Duke Chamas, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, couldn't help baring his teeth when he heard it, and his face ached.
They didn't believe Duke would give up the Overwatch that had gone so much effort to build, but they couldn't afford Lordaeron.
Actually, 10 million gold coins, Duke really didn't want much.
For the sake of technological upgrading, as the main supplier of raw materials and workers, the copperbeard dwarves are actually really smashing pots and selling iron. If you don't build the Overwatch and Red Ridge Mountain Fortress, the first people to kneel down are the Stormwind Kingdom and Kazmodan. Duke is a kind-hearted man, and if the Copperbeard Dwarves are so strong in supporting the Stormwind Kingdom, how could Duke let Magni suffer?
Less than five minutes after Lordaeron promised to give 10 million, Duke sent Magni a 200-page arms purchase order worth 5 million gold coins. You know, as part of its allies, the cannons, ammunition, soldiers, and workers that Ironforge previously provided were free.
In this order, Duke directly doubles the cost price that Magni gave to Duke, and then adds zero before the decimal point to purchase.
In the end, it was McGoney who was kind, or he felt too shameless when he made too much, and waved his pen 'for the sake of the alliance, I'll give a 50% discount'.
Over there, the tribe had no idea that there was such a wonderful game within the Alliance.
The Horde's forwards were almost scared.
Naozu panicked and tried to run back, but was grabbed by the death knight Tyrone* Bloodfiend!
"Idiot, calm down! It's too late! The dark door has been opened, we have angered the Alliance, and if we go back like this, we will only be attacked by the Alliance in turn and kill us all. It's important to get the job done first. ”
"Mission!?Do we still have hope?"
"Yes, your hope is me!" an abrupt voice interjected, and it sounded strangely orc, and in the direction from which it came from, Neozu saw a grim-faced human standing among the Death Knight near him. (To be continued.) )
