When Duke publicly announced that he would donate 1 million Arassol gold coins on behalf of the Stormwind Kingdom as a pension for the Alliance's soldiers of the nations, the entire banquet hall boiled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoMaybe you could say that Duke is putting on a show, but the show is also doing a lot of face. When Makaro led people to the square outside the banquet hall with cartloads of gold coins, opened the box and showed the golden coins to everyone, all that was left of the audience was admiration.

Duke gave the money not to someone else, but to the Archbishop of the Church of the Light, Alonthos Fao.

Long ago, in Dalaran, a Lordaeron missionary threw a copper coin into the fountain and made a wish: "I hope that one day I will spread the word of light to every common man and teach them the meaning of the three virtues." ”

This missionary was the future Archbishop of the Holy Light, Alonsos Fao, who traveled to every city on the continent, and whose name as the Holy One of Mercy had long been recognized by the entire continent. It is no exaggeration to say that he is synonymous with righteousness and sanctity in this era.

Duke said sincerely: "I believe that the Archbishop Church has distributed the funds fairly. ”

Every king was willing to believe in Alonsos' character. All of a sudden, the losses that may be caused by the invasion of the tribe do not seem to be too painful.

What is the concept of 1,000,000 gold coins? In the Seven Kingdoms, this is already a whole year's financial income of a medium-level kingdom. It seems that the last small mountain country like Alterac only has a treasury of hundreds of thousands of gold coins in a year. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the king's direct territory is poor, and the Barov family is so rich that it leaks oil.

The only ones who can easily come up with 1 million gold coins are Kurtilas, who is an ocean runner all over the world, Dalaran, the inhuman kingdom of Dalaran, and Lordaeron, who has the most fertile and wealthy land.

Now Duke's move to send money after sending the fleet is simply adding fuel to the fire. It awakened the spirits of the kings in an instant.

"Kurtilas 2 million. King Dalin, who had just received the benefit, raised two fingers.

The old man who was the speaker of the council, pronounced as a tyrant and written as Antonidas, raised three fingers with a smile.

Since the small countries below are all pretending to be forced, as a fighter in the pretending world, King Lordaeron, who thinks he is the number one in the world, suddenly raised a slap.

"Hiss-" After the nobles gasped, they naturally applauded.

That's an astronomical amount of 11 million gold coins!

I tremble all over my body just thinking about it.

But if you think about it, you will know that Terenus is very good. Because the most troops must be Lordaeron, and if there is no accident, he will lose the most. In fact, it is very likely that the money will come full circle and then fall into Lordaeron's hands.

But it doesn't matter, the effect has been achieved.

Originally, it was not decided in the meeting which family would send how many troops. In fact, these things have to be discussed one by one by Lothar, as the commander of the alliance. That's the banquet PR. Lothar didn't expect Duke to put on such a good show, which greatly lightened his work.

Archbishop Alonsos struck while the iron was hot: "For the future of mankind, for the future of this world, all countries have money to contribute money and soldiers, this is a good thing, isn't it?"

"Of course, as the leader of the Alliance, I declare that the first phase of Lordaeron's troops will be led by Duke Alexandros Mograini, and his deputy will be General Abydis, with the first phase of troops of 100,000 men. ”

100,000 men, what a boldness? This is definitely the most exaggerated standing army of any kingdom that has not yet entered a state of complete war.

You must know that Stormwind City, which had a standing army of 20,000 or 30,000 at the beginning, has now pulled out 50,000 elite soldiers. Lordaeron's war potential, of course, is much more than that.

The other kings who couldn't afford to pay for it couldn't hold their faces.

King Solas of Stormgard said loudly, "There is no need for knights in the Arathi Heights for the time being, Commander Lothar, you will see the Highland Knights of Rapids Fort in a week." ”

King Jean of Gilney said angrily, "You will meet the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infantry Regiments of Gilneys." ”

At this time, the always seasoned and sleek King of Alterac Aiden couldn't hold back his face: "The Knights of the Mountain Eagle of the King of Alterac will arrive under your command within a week." Commander-in-Chief of Lothar. ”

Knights and cavalry are two different concepts, and even though they both ride horses, knights are more than equal to cavalry!

Every knight had to start as a hard-working knight candidate, often a squire, following the official knight to learn horsemanship, combat, etiquette and other knowledge. Then bring a horse and a pair of armor.

Don't underestimate a pair of armor, a pair of qualified knight's armor, unless there is an ancestral heirloom, it is something that ordinary people can't afford to struggle all their lives.

Before the Duke crossing, it was equivalent to bringing 1 million soft girl coins. Note that this is only the money for armor, not counting horses. It's not just a horse that can be used as a war horse. The weight of a few hundred catties of people and armor is impossible for ordinary horses to bear.

To bear such weight, plus a high-speed sprint horse is not cheap. Converted into soft sister coins, 500,000 can't run away.

Basically, if you glance at it, the height of the horse's back is less than 1.70 meters, and it is not a war horse.

Therefore, raising one knight regiment is at least equivalent to raising five infantry regiments, and these knights are the treasure bumps of various kings, and they are rare to see on weekdays. The Kingdom of Gilneth lacked horses, so the main infantry regiment was directly pulled out.

When Antonidas said that a 200-member mage group led by one of the members of the Council of Six would be transferred to Lothar, Lothar couldn't stop laughing and gave Duke a thumbs up.

"Thank you, child, that I see in you the divine radiance, and that you have a beautiful heart that is brighter than gold. In the next moment, when Alonsos' wrinkled hand touched Duke's shoulder, Duke's whole person unexpectedly emitted bursts of indifferent and soft white-gold light.

This is the discipline of Duke inheriting a certain Dharma god at work.

"Hehe, child, I didn't expect that in addition to your great talent in the path of mystery, you also have unparalleled qualifications in the path of holy light. If one day you can't walk down the mystical path, the doors of Stratholme Cathedral will be open for you. ”

囧!

It turns out that I have inherited the discipline of Medivan, and I can change my career to become a priest (divine priest)!?

Duke also thinks that as a realist modern time-traveler, even if he is a priest, he will only be a shadow priest (shadow priest).

It's a terrible feeling!

Not only Duke, but other nobles pointed fingers at Duke. No one expected that Duke who burned 100,000 orcs to death with a fire actually had the heart of a saint. (To be continued.) )
