2. Children just have a lot of ideas

When the orc attack is in full swing, what can two children do?

Of course, nothing can be done. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

However, this does not mean that the two children will do nothing, in fact, according to the battle reports on the front, it is already a foregone conclusion that the orcs who have mastered the red dragon and shipbuilding skills by what means have crossed the strait. And judging by a few short-term engagements, the orcs will remain strong for a long time to comeβ€”and no one knows when these bloodthirsty lunatics will return to normal.

It is reported that in order to solve the problem of the red dragon, the mages of Dalaran have begun to investigate the reason why the guardian dragon was controlled by foreign invaders, but it is clear that there is no need to expect anything interesting from the six in the short term. Thankfully, perhaps because of the reputation of Dalaran's sacred barrier, the orcs who crossed the strait and entered Nanhai Town did not choose to attack Dalaran, but made a rare stop.

No one knows what they are planning, except for Arthas.

The orcs may be furious, but their current leader, Orgrimmar Doomhammer, is not a simple bloodthirsty monster, on the contrary, the orc who defeated the Black Hand and controlled Gul'dan in turn has intelligence beyond most humans.

He clearly understood that for the orcs who were now strong enough to fight five at a time, it might not be a problem to storm Dalaran - but the fall of Karazhan had closed the Dark Gate, and the orcs who were locked up in this world had no endless supply of reinforcements, and the Hammer of Doom had limited leverage.

Therefore, in order not to let the power of the orcs go to waste on the little tricks of the mages, this guy decided to take a curve, and next, he will plot against the kingdom of Alterac and invade Lordaeron through it. In the "future" that Arthas knew, the orcs successfully crossed the Alterac Mountains and stormed the fortress of Keldaron with lightning speed, directly cutting the east and west directions of Lordaeron into two sections, so that for the next few years, the alliance could only be exhausted by the defense, casting the fortress in the place of the undead fortress in the future in order to survive.

If it weren't for the infighting among the orcs caused by Gul'dan's betrayal, this kind of lingering might have lasted for a long time.

However, this was not where Arthas cared, because he knew that the orcs had temporarily lost the support of the demons due to the closure of the dark gates, and the demonic blood on them would soon lose their power, turning them into powerless addicts, and at that time, they would naturally be slaughtered by others - that is, the longer the battle dragged on, the better it would be for the alliance.

Arthas was concerned about another person, the future Lich King, who was probably still on the other side of the Dark Gate.

After the orcs are repelled this time, in order to deal with these foreign enemies once and for all, humans will send an elite expeditionary force to completely eliminate any possibility of another invasion by the orcs. However, as the Talon Bloodfiend, Neozu, and the Mocking Skull Clan rebuild the new Dark Gate, the expeditionary force was unable to stop this madness, and Draenor was shattered, and Neozu began his path to becoming the Lich King under the manipulation of Kilgardanβ€”all of which came from the soul of Neozu.

If you want to break free from the nightmare of the Lich King, you need to change the "history" of the expeditionary force's inability to stop Naozu, and the easiest way is to strengthen the Alliance's side, that is, to make the Alliance less consumed in the Second War and have more capital to rebuild Stormwind and organize an expeditionary force.

In a sense, saving Draenor saved Azeroth, and Arthas himself. Although he didn't care about the fact that he didn't care about it, seeing the sadness and fear in Varian's heart and remembering the disaster in the country he loved, Arthas changed his mind.

"We're too small, though, so we probably need a surrogate."

In the blink of an eye, Arthas already had a preliminary plan in his mind, and looking at Varian, who was still dazed, Arthas smiled.

"Agent? But...... We don't have the capital. ”

"You're too honest, Varian, the status of the heir of our kingdom is the capital," Arthas said, "Besides, through my sister, I still have some gold, although this gold is not enough to do anything...... But! ”

"But?"

"However, it is enough to help us hire a good enough merchant, and at the same time open up a trade route that will allow us to obtain enough capital......" Seeing Varian's increasingly surprised expression, Arthas suddenly changed his words, "However, this is not the point, the point is that we will use this trade route to break into the interior of Alterac." ”

"Why Alterac?"

Because they are on the right track, and they are not very powerful, they will betray under the threat of the hammer of destruction.

Swallowing the words, Arthas said: "I just think that the orcs don't fight Dalaran, maybe it's to concentrate their forces on attacking there, so we need a line of our own." ”

"That makes sense, but I have some ideas in that case," Varian's eyes lit up as he reminded, "Arthas, there is no way to reach the upper echelons of Alterac through a simple trade route, so it is better for us to form a mercenary army and participate in the defense of Alterac as a mercenary, so that we may be able to obtain more information." ”

"But we don't have any money, and mercenaries won't work for people who can't afford to pay......" Arthas sighed, and then suddenly froze, "Ah, no, maybe...... We can really find a mercenary who can work without paying. ”

Looking at Varian, Arthas added, "However, this requires your consent, because the only people who can take up arms now and fight for the revival of the kingdom of Azeroth are your people, the people of Stormwind. ”

Varian was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "I can come forward, however, I don't know how many people will respond to me. ”

"There will be countless people who will respond to you," Arthas said, "and believe me, there is no shortage of people in this world who will not hesitate to die to protect their homeland." ”

"It is true, however, there are people who do not choose this path easily, because their lives are not only for themselves."

Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind Arthas, and the boy turned his head in surprise, only to see a middle-aged man with gray hair and a little bold.

"Anduin Lothar?"

"It's me, heir of Lordaeron," Anduin Lothar said with a sudden headache as he looked at the child in front of him, who didn't seem to be afraid at all, "I'm sorry to eavesdrop, but your voice is so loud that even if I don't want to hear it, it will get into my ears." ”

"And what do you think of what you just planned?"

Looking at the boy with sparkling eyes with some surprise, Duke Lothar thought for a moment and said, "It's an interesting idea indeed, but as one of the Seven Kingdoms, the Alterac Kingdom is not to be underestimated, and it is not a wise choice to use surveillance to anger the Pirenod family at this time. ”

"I don't understand," Alsace pretended to be stupid, "is it a child's nonsense?" ”

"Of course, dear Highness," said Lothar, with a grimace and a smile, "but the fact that a child can think of so much is a testament to your talent. We are already old, and you still have to carry the burden of the alliance after all. ”

Yes, yes, the kid in front of you almost ruined the alliance.

Arthas rolled his eyes in his mind, but at the same time he was reviewing what he had just taken for granted. Indeed, at this sensitive time, anything to do could trigger a series of overreactions, the Pirenor family is not a good cake at all, and Gilneth in the Seven Kingdoms also has the intention of using the terrain to defend himself, not to mention that he has only sent a ranger army to make a high elf to make a appearance...... Hey, could it be that he said that he killed the elves so well in the "future" is also a grudge left at this time? Sure enough, after being controlled by revenge, is this person going to be a little perverted?

Shaking his head to dispel the haves and haves, Arthas couldn't help but feel troubled by the worries of his father and the Duke of Lothar. Seriously, it's hard to say that this loose alliance will keep pace in the face of the catastrophe, and the current alliance is just because the name of the alliance, which has no actual binding force, binds their faces, but the skin definitely does not compare to the interests, so whether the tribe is too strong, or the means here stimulate them and threaten the interests in their hands, it will instantly make the alliance fall apart.

Unless......

While his eyes were rolling, Arthas, who lowered his head, and Varian, who was really depressed, followed Lothar back to the royal city, and the understanding old Lothar did not report the two, but said that he took the two out to see it, so Terenus let it go gently.

And after returning to the room, there was no time to comfort Varian, who had fallen into depression after being caught doing bad things, Arthas played "Turn, Turn" directly in front of his friends, and after walking back and forth for more than ten laps, he suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly: "Yes!" If you can directly control the other party by thunder, then won't it have a deterrent effect? ”

"Huh?"

Varian looked up in surprise, only to be grabbed by Arthas's shoulder. The boy laughed in front of him, and then said, "Hey, hey, I have a way, I can, no, it has to be like this, Varian, come with me, maybe, this time we can directly scrape together the resources to rebuild Stormwind!" ”

"Uh......" Varian was completely unaware, "what plan?" ”

"An interesting plan," Alsace said, "and first of all, we have to be able to get out of here." ”
