Speaking of this, Alfonso paused for a moment, and then said a staggering number: "Three million two hundred and sixty-seven gold coins, excluding the leader, the total loss of mankind in this war is three two hundred and twenty thousand gold coins." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Three and two million gold coins!—Arthas was stunned—even in the rich kingdom of Lordaeron, the taxes and other revenues that were imported into the palace every year were only a few hundred thousand gold coins, how could Lord Alfonso calculate such a huge loss?
But when he thought about it, Alsace was relieved - the warships lost in the Balatine Gulf were put together by the various countries of the alliance, and the navies of the countries that rose with it because of the prosperous sea routes, after more than ten years of accumulation, the total value reached this value is not so terrible, and ...... Alsace knew that the data in Alfonso's mouth had shrunk by more than half, and it was estimated that it exceeded the real data.
"Of course, these losses are not entirely the fault of your people, Your Excellency. Alfonso looked very understanding, "At least half of the fault is on the hateful orcs, and one percent of the fault is on King Darin's light enemy, so your people only need to bear the four achievements of these losses, which is one million two hundred and eighty thousand gold coins." ”
"Of course, not all of these gold coins belong to our kingdom of Lordaeron, more than half of them belong to the kingdom of Kurtilas, twenty percent belong to the kingdom of Stormwind, and two percent belong to our kingdom of Lordaeron, and the kingdom of Stormgard and the kingdom of Gilneth jointly own the remaining one...... Your Excellency, are you listening to me?" Alfonso noticed the Red Dragon Queen's wandering gaze, so he paused and asked the other party.
"I ...... I don't understand, you mean, I need ...... I need to give you 1,280,000 gold coins?" replied with a stammering Red Dragon Queen.
"Allow me to remind you once again, Your Excellency the Queen, that these coins are borne by your people, and that it is only your own fault that out of friendship between His Royal Highness the Prince of Arthas and you, we would be willing to forgive your debts, but unfortunately this is already a matter between the two races of the Alliance and the Red Dragons, and there is no room for accommodation of our own will. Alfonso said.
"One...... One million two hundred and eighty thousand......" The Red Dragon Queen stretched out her ten fingers and began to fiddle with each other - arithmetic has always been a difficult thing for the Red Dragon Queen - not to mention that she always talks about an encounter with someone 10,000 years ago, but in fact wants her to tell the exact date...... I'm afraid she won't be able to say it in another 10,000 years.
"This is only the first indemnity - and, of course, the largest......; But we can't underestimate every coin, do we? The children of the warriors who died for Lordaeron still need to be raised, their families need to be besieged, their homes damaged after the war need to be rebuilt, and my duty is to make sure that every copper coin is spent where it rightfully belongs—and I will not spare a single gold coin that deserves it. Alfonso said with a smile, then picked up the account book on the table again.
"In Nanhai Town, the Red Dragons have once again attacked the humans, although this time they did not cause much damage, and here they will be counted as five thousand gold coins for the reconstruction of Nanhai Town and the subsidies for the farmers who have migrated because of the war. Alfonso was right, 5,000 gold coins were just a drop in the ocean compared to 1,280,000 gold coins.
"In addition to this, our allies in Ironforge - I mean the dwarves and gnomes - as far as I know, the dwarven griffin messengers flew across the Palatine Bay to inform us of the orcs leaving Ironforge and were intercepted by your people on the way, and this loss is counted as five hundred gold coins, which your people are responsible for compensating the dwarves. Alfonso finally closed the book, which he carefully placed back on King Terenus's desk.
"To sum up, Your Excellency the Queen, your people owe a total of one hundred and twenty-five thousand gold coins to the Alliance, and if your people can pay it off within ten days, I can be the master of the fraction of the back, do you think this is okay?" Alfonso proposed to the Red Dragon Queen, putting his hands back in his sleeves.
"One...... One million two hundred and eighty thousand......" The Red Dragon Queen was still fiddling with her fingers, but she felt that the number was too large, like the scales on her body, it was impossible to count them clearly.
This is naked/naked/naked blackmail!--Arthas pouted--when the Coalition's fleet was wiped out in the Balatin Bay, what did Alfonso do with these losses? Did he know then that he would have to collect debts from the Red Dragon? Must have been a random fabrication of data after knowing that the Red Dragons had signed an alliance with humans? But such a thing as collecting debts from the Red Dragons...... It's too ...... for a mortal It's incredible, isn't it?
"Your Excellency, did you hear me?" Alfonso urged when he saw that the Red Dragon Queen was still fiddling with her fingers, "If your people need to defer their repayments, then here's the problem...... Even at the lowest interest rate, for each day of delay, this is more than the added value generated by the huge debt...... That's a staggering number!"
"You...... Do you mean, do I need to pay it back?" asked the Red Dragon Queen, who lowered her hands and looked at Alfonso in surprise.
"That's right, Your Excellency. Alfonso replied, "Of course, we in the Kingdom of Lordaeron are very keen to establish a good friendship with Your Excellency the Queen, and I can promise here that all the expenses of your Excellency the Queen and your expenses in Lordaeron will be borne by our Kingdom of Lordaeron; ”
"Yes...... But I don't have any money. The Red Dragon Queen replied sadly, "I don't know what gold is—of course I know it's your human currency, but we Red Dragons don't have the habit of using money, so my people don't have any money. I'm sorry that my people have hurt you, but I really don't have the money to compensate you. ”
"I've been thinking about this for a long time. Alfonso nodded and said, "I think Your Excellency and your people can replace it with other things, such as gold, diamonds, crystals, and of course some precious ores, and I have professionals among my subordinates who can value anything your people offer." ”
