Chapter 255 PY Trading and Withdrawal from the Group
When Lao Taizi thought that a mere third-rate Windranger family in Quel'Thalas could have so much money, McDonald didn't realize what he would bring to Quel'Thalas in the future by casually dumping the pot in order to cover up the Shenhao system.
After two days of drama, the Council of the Thrones finally convened.
On the bright side, the biggest issue of the alliance is still [Watchcastle]!
At the next day's meeting of the Alliance, Lothar, who had broken the shackles of fate, presided over the Council of the Thrones.
In history, he has already written "Heroic Soul Forever" and "Immortal" in black and white portraits.
Now he is at least alive.
Orgrim's blow hurt him considerably.
The Light can heal ordinary wounds, but it can't heal the flame elemental of the Hammer of Doom.
The rich fire element slowly burned Lothar to death, but fortunately, the high-ranking priest of Von Delors, who accompanied the army, arrived. Now Lothar is a bit like Frankenstein.
Half of the skull was inlaid with a Mithril shell, and after Antonidas gave him the fire element inside, Lothar's skull became quite fragile, and he had to protect it with this thing, otherwise a glass of juice could kill Lothar in the past.
In one eye, vision is greatly reduced, and the pupils appear pale in color.
Lothar has publicly announced that he will abdicate for three more months as the commander-in-chief of the alliance.
He was purely on the last shift.
"Since we cannot destroy the Dark Gate, we must guard against a possible return of the Orcs for a massive invasion. The existing camps in the Cursed Lands cannot meet this requirement, and we must build a fortress as soon as possible to monitor the Dark Gate. ”
Lothar set the tone at the beginning of the meeting - the orcs can come back at any time, and if you leave it alone, everyone will die together, and you can do it.
The bigwigs of various countries basically agreed to build the [Watchfort] fortress.
Well, here's the problem.
What about people?
Bervar, who had already taken over the burden in Lothar's hands and had been promoted to regent of the Stormwind Kingdom, stood up: "Thanks to the support of the countries of the Lordaeron Alliance, the Stormwind Kingdom has been successfully restored. Although it will take a long time for our country to be reborn in the ruins, our country is willing to give 200,000 people unconditionally. However, as soon as the country was restored, the treasury was empty, and the rest could only rely on the alliance. ”
Bowal is a lot more sophisticated, and his words are quite nice.
In fact, the Storm Kingdom can't support its people, and it needs to be cashed for work, and the alliance has given support, at least the Storm Kingdom can survive this year.
What about money?
It's hilarious, historically, it caused a serious split in the Lordaeron Alliance.
With the exception of the Stormwind Kingdom and the Copperbeard Elf, the other nations were so far away that building castles, garrisons, and supplies disgusted the Alliance.
The countries almost forced Bowval to resist most of them with the momentum of 'bending into a move', and some of the rest of the countries gave a first installment, and Lordaeron gave points one after another. Anyway, no one gives money is happy.
The reason is also very grandiose - we are desperate to help you defeat the orcs and restore the country, and you should have some blood in the Storm Kingdom, right? As a result, the Stormwind Kingdom approached Van Cleve's craftsmen to build the Watch Fort first, and then forced their own nobles to scrape together money.
After making it up once, most of the nobles refused to turn over their last old bottom to repair Stormwind City, and only then did the Black Dragon Princess incite the Stonemason Brotherhood to rebel.
In this life, the situation is very different.
As soon as Bolwal asked Van Cleef to come up and quote the cost price, Lao Taizi not only took the lead in admitting the account, but also proposed a rather grand plan.
"The condition of the roads in the Sorrowful Swamp is so bad that it will be very difficult to replenish the ammunition for the artillery with human and animal power alone. I propose to build a railroad using the technology of the Copperbeard Dwarves, the first phase of which would run through the Swamp of Sorrow from south to north, through the Red Ridge Mountains region, to the eastern part of the Elwyn Forest. In the future, if you have the chance, Lord Berval, you can consider repairing all the way to Stormwind. ”
The plan was quite scary, and Magni was frightened, he blew his beard and glared: "The engineering team of the Copperbeard Dwarf must be the best in the world." But the money has to keep up! ”
"Lordaeron can give out 300,000 gold coins."
"Dalaran 200,000."
"Kurtilas 100,000."
"Stormgard 50,000."
"Eagle's Nest Mountain, 20,000 gold coins."
The bigwigs from all walks of life took turns to report the number, and the momentum without hesitation was ...... It's been a long time ago.
Lordaeron and Dalaran have money, and they may be able to believe it. The other three, don't be funny.
Kurtilas had just lost a regrouped fleet and a crown prince.
The Arashi are poorer.
The Hammer Elves barely trade, and have few resources other than griffons.
Isn't that boring? Who believes!
Seeing Lothar and Magni look at each other and smile bitterly, no one will take them to play.
The two of them still have to put on smiling faces, why? Once something happens to the Dark Gate, the first thing to kneel down is the two of them!
The only one who felt that something was wrong was the Gilnes representative.
King Jean didn't come, so he sent a tool man. In other words, throughout the war, Gilneth was playing soy sauce, and if he couldn't bear it, he made a werewolf, pitted both the enemy and the enemy into a bloody one, and then went back to play behind the wall of Greymane to play autism.
Not kicking Gilneth out of the league is a face-saving act.
"Where's Quel'Thalas?" Terenus stared at Prince Kael'thas.
Kaizi, who changed his mind and took off the badge of Councilor Dalaran, represents the High Elf at this moment.
Kaizi stubbornly recited the instructions of the Silver Moon Council: "Our country has suffered very heavy losses in this war, and more than a third of its citizens have been killed. Even the Yongge Forest Protection Circle collapsed, and it was really powerless to support. What's more, we have sent a powerful Ranger force to support this war. ”
"Shall I have some magic crystals?" Lao Taizi does not give up
"Well, the sunwell has been a bit unstable lately due to the damage to the leylines." In the face of the scrutinizing gazes of all the kings, Kaiko lowered her head in shame.
Dai Lin sneered: "This is the orc who almost destroyed our three races!" Who's not dead? Now is the time for everyone to have someone to contribute and have money to pay, there is no reason for the high elves not to come out with anything, right? ”
Some people take the lead, and naturally some people follow suit.
Old Taizi instigated the kings to put pressure on him, but unexpectedly, Kael'thas went out for a magical communication trip and came back with bad news.
"I'm sorry, but I received a joint directive from His Majesty the Sunstrider and the Silvermoon Council - Quel'Salas to withdraw from the Lordaeron Alliance!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire alliance was in an uproar.
Lao Taizi felt a big miscalculation, originally thinking that the long-eared thieves were rich, so they had to make them bleed. Who would have thought that these withdrawn monsters would quit the group without saying a word?
Terenus was naturally very faceless, and his face was calm: "In the face of a huge threat, our three clans chose to gather together to fight against foreign enemies. Now that the threat has not been removed, the High Elves have abandoned their allies, which really chills us. Of course, it is the right of every member to withdraw from the alliance. It's just that if you want to join the alliance in the future, you have to agree with everyone. ”
Kael'thas was ashamed.
How about some magic crystals? Anyway, I don't want money!
In the final analysis, it is still their own reserve and pride. If you can't be a leader, you simply won't play with you.
The next day, Gilneth withdrew from the league.
The reason is also very simple, Jean still has some ideas about the land of Alterac, just like history. It's just that when I asked, I ran into the cold faces of the heads of state - why don't you come when you fight, hide at home and shut up, and you still have the face to come out when you divide the meat?
So the arrogant Jean followed and withdrew.
