Chapter 13 Some Practical Problems

The high-intensity assault battle that lasted for more than three hours in the hoarse battle cry of "for the Lordaeron" finally came under the attack of the bloody crusaders of the Hand of Tyr, and after Edlan judged that Banazar had no followers, finally let the eco-ship begin to purge the undead army from other directions, announcing that the undead army that attempted to capture the Hand of Tyr or destroy the army of Anaheim City that came to the aid was completely defeated.

According to preliminary statistics, this battle annihilated about 230,000 undead in the Eastern Plague Land with combat power that can form an army, of which nearly half of the damage caused by the carpet shelling of the ecological ship was killed.

Such a powerful ally and such a powerful weapon made all the people of insight present faintly feel that the pattern of war had changed, and when they were fortunate enough to be invited to meet the alien visitor of Veron on the ecological ship, Ethan Lien, the oldest of the older priests present, felt that Lordaeron's future seemed to be about to change.

This time by the undead army to encircle the reinforcements, the loss of the living is more serious, 12,000 cavalry lost half of the battle, preliminary statistics killed more than 3,000 people, 3-4,000 people were seriously injured and could not fight again, and the remaining minor injuries or lucky lucky ones were almost tired and fell off their horses after the battle. The largest casualty rate is the group of soldiers who have been fighting on the front line under the command of Edlan, as long as they are rotated, only 5 out of 10 people can survive on average, and those who survive are all wounded and have become tired soldiers.

The loss of the war horse is even more direct, the war horse that followed the cavalry charge was killed directly after the war, and the rest was also in a state of less air intake and more gas, and then those who were rotated to a slightly easier place to fight the cavalry directly replaced the war horse that was too tired to continue the battle with a walking horse, and these retired war horses that were already a little older broke out in this battle The last color of their lives......

However, this battle was good for Anaheim City and against Tyre's hand, and the income was almost zero, or even negative. The living have to eat and wear in battle, pay the soldiers' salaries, pay the soldiers when they die in battle, and ensure the rest of the soldiers' lives if they are injured; this is only a matter of the soldiers alone, and if they have families, they even have to spend money to take care of the widows of those martyrs! Otherwise, who do you expect to give you your life?

Serving as a soldier is nothing more than to protect the family and defend the country, and the second is to have a better environment for the family, even if he dies in battle, he can have a rich amount of money to live well for his family.

This is only the loss of personnel, weapons and equipment, grain and grass materials, horses and medicines, and so on, so that the war is the most money-burning thing, just by looking at the categories of these materials, we can see that this battle seems to have achieved a brilliant victory, but how difficult is this for logistics? How difficult is it for the people who insist on production in the rear to supply the army?

If this is a battle between the living, it is better to say, if you win, you can clean up the battlefield, pack up those weapons and equipment that can still be used, and those that cannot be used can even be melted back to the furnace, as for the other party's food and grass materials, you can laugh at it, and even if this is a war between countries, you can still use fighting to promote negotiations, forcing the other party to sign an unequal treaty at the negotiating table, or even an alliance under the city!

But what now? What is in the spirits of the dead?

If this was in the past, when there were no bounties from the Adventurers' Guild in Anaheim City, the living would have poured holy water on the undead and burned the remains clean, and at that time, they would have really lost money completely.

But now, the reason for the guarantee of not losing money is that there are a lot of admiring adventurers who will be more proficient in what to do with the corpses of these undead monsters than these professional soldiers. Those groups of adventurers who are relatively large have official permission, and they will generally follow behind the army, and after the battle, under the supervision and recording of special personnel, collect the wreckage in different categories, and finally organize it and exchange it with the adventurers' guild, and divide the account with the military six (harmony) quarters.

Of course, in a certain has been cut the door to a certain extent the strength of the Chief Archon

At Lie's request, the amount of this account will be expanded to seventy-three according to the number of single large transactions of a single group.

This practice of fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of the people to go to the national disaster was greatly praised by Edlan, after all, if it really only relied on the fiscal tax of one territory, it would be impossible to support such a country's long-term struggle. Profiting from the fight against the dead may allow the military to swallow the huge sum of money alone, but the problem of fraud and corruption in the military system is much greater than that caused by ordinary corrupt officials......

Therefore, Adlan, who "takes history as a mirror" and still knows a little bit about these things, began to take precautions very early, honestly separating political power, military power, and financial power, and also established a department headed by Vanessa to supervise internal and external intelligence to secretly prevent it.

So far, perhaps because the indigenous people of Azeroth are relatively simple and have not found any signs of this, or perhaps because of the national crisis, those who think like this have not had the opportunity to reach where they shouldn't be for the time being. After all, they also know that even if they stretch out, if the country or this regime cannot be stable, it is useless for them to stretch out, and their own lives cannot be guaranteed, so what are they greedy for that money for?

That being said, though, it seems that Adran himself is now moving in the direction of a warlord...... However, this can be regarded as the ultimate development direction of the feudal aristocracy, if you want to be bigger, if you want to be unrestrained, if you want to be free from any, you have to strengthen yourself by unscrupulous means.

This feudal remnant was indispensable for the unity and stability of the country, but now it was something that Edlan desperately wanted to obtain. Even if he welcomes Kalia back to the royal city of Lordaeron in the future and worships her as king, Anaheim City will become the state of the kingdom of Lordaeron, which is already an irreconcilable class contradiction after the restoration of Lordaeron in the future.

Unless she Kalia is willing to marry Edlan, who has the aura of a restored hero, for the sake of the unity and integrity of the country, Edlan, who becomes the regent of Lordaeron as a prince, can once again highly centralize the power, financial power, and military power of the entire Northland, and the new Lordaeron can be reborn.

Of course, maybe Kalia will be unwilling, but the old ministers around her, the old ministers who want to get a piece of the merit of the restoration of the country but can't catch up with the old ministers who are most directly fighting against the undead or assisting the princess in escaping, or some new people who are engaged in some shady industry and are eager to get a backer, etc., will spare no effort to make this happen. After all, the merit of the dragon is too big, so big that I can't imagine it, even if the people above eat all the credit, the remaining residues are enough for the last kind of person to get a decent and legal official status.

There may also be another situation, that is, they will be like Zhao Kuangyin, either hinted at, or directly added to the yellow robe of Edlan, who has completed the great cause of recovering the country...... However, this possibility is relatively low, after all, the royal inheritance on Azeroth's side is not very good at engaging in such a moth thing. Blood relationship is what they value most, if it is a warlord, it can only be a warlord, even if he is the emperor, it is difficult to be recognized by the international community.

Of course, that is the choice of the royal road, if you really want to choose the path of hegemony, then you can ignore those voices who oppose or advise you to go further, continue to carry forward the Azeroth Alliance as a country or a lord who does not listen to the tune, with the help of Naru technology and the possible McAgon technology directly jump out of the political game of human countries, and get a higher space for development. When the time comes, it will naturally be the person with the biggest fist.

Now, after the First World War buried the main force of the undead, the battle situation in the Eastern Plague Land has become clear, and the Hand of Tyr under the command of Bridget Abydis, without even using Uther and others to come forward, expressed their willingness to return to the formation of the Silver Hand Knights, and are willing to obey Edlan's dispatch.

It is precisely because of this that Adlan is now thinking about the post-war problems in the gentle country, because after obtaining a high-tech armament like the Eco Ship that spans an unknown number of centuries, Lordaeron's restoration is only a matter of time.

As for Gentle Township, it is naturally on the thigh of Bridget, who suffers from lovesickness. Well, this is already the sage time after the fact...... (Not much is watching, though.)

There is no driving in this book, only brakes. )

It stands to reason that Bridget is also a general now, she is the general of the Scarlet Crusader, but because the Scarlet Crusader is an illegal organization, and Britsette is not an official position appointed by official channels, but because the superior officer died in the war, the subordinate succeeded to this position, so after the arrival of an orthodox army with official backing like Edlan, she will be very cooperative in handing over the command whether it is because of her love affair with Adelan or obedience to the arrangement.

But now, everything is left behind, and the cleaning of the battlefield and everything is handed over to those deputies. Because after the battle just ended, Bridget simply gave Edlan, who had just dismounted, a warm bear hug in front of everyone, and kissed it without hesitation, and the tears of happiness immediately became the face of the female general, and now even the most idiotic people can understand the atmosphere, they consciously retreated, began to deal with the inconsequential post-war cleaning work, and started to have a relatively simple celebration banquet from top to bottom.

On the bed, which had been full of mess after the passion between the two of them, Adelan's already long forehead hair was tickled back and forth, but it was comfortable, but after being knocked on the head by Bridget, Adelan stopped thinking about the national affairs and the hands that were not honest on the girl and under him.

Only then did Edlan open his eyes and stare at Bridget, who was blushing and gasping slightly, and the girl twisted her face to the side and complained, "You are so skilled...... I've done it with Lisa a lot of times, right?"

"Uh......" You know and ask?Edlan wanted to say that, but it was obvious that it was a fatal answer, so he organized his language and replied, "Well, if I say that I am thinking about what will happen after the return of the country, and then what I just did...... Uh, it's your attraction that is so great that I can't help but make a subconscious move without a teacher...... Do you believe it?"

"Hmph...... If, if that's the case...... I'll just trust you. ”

Having said that, Edlan clearly saw the corners of Bridget's upturned mouth, and the hand that had gently stroked his hair began to stroke again, and the girl's mood suddenly changed from jealousy to happiness......

Bridget is a beautiful embryo, since she was a child, to now, the slim girl almost unreservedly handed herself over to the boy she has liked since childhood, it can be said that her whole body has made changes, from a person who has shouldered the heavy responsibility of the army commander in a difficult environment and persevered until now, and then finally able to share some of the burden on her body to the person she absolutely trusts...... If Adlan is ruthless at this time, then Bridget can be said to be empty of both people and money, and may even become the next woman to be driven crazy......

Edlan suddenly came up with this idea and felt that he was a little dangerous, so in order to dispel this strange possibility, he chose to "compensate" Bridget by himself, so the two who had planned to sleep together for a while like this, under Adelan's healing with holy light, the body that had been crazy for a long time was well recovered again, and then a new round of madness began again in Bridget's surprise and shyness......

After all, it was a night of celebration of a glorious victory, and it was considered by many visionaries to be the long beginning of the death knell of the Scourge of the Dead in the land of Lordaeron. Even if such a credit was based almost entirely on the efforts of a low-ranking noble lord, and on the help of a "visitor from heaven" with whom he had just established good diplomatic relations, it was a dream for the kingdom of Lordaeron, with which two-thirds of its territory had already become a scorched earth.

After the death of Duke Kalia to the Stormwind Kingdom, in addition to being able to buy some food and supplies at a relatively low price, there was also a time when the symbolic meaning was far greater than the actual significance, and the attitude of the Stormwind Kingdom towards the Lordaeron Kingdom was even worse than that of Ironforge and the already troubled Nomerregen exiles! So how could this not make Lordaeron and the people of Lordaeron grateful for the help from outside, and at the same time have beautiful fantasies?

The night is still long, and so is Lordaeron's future......
