Chapter 42: The Lok'tar Project (Part I)
Since the crossing, McDonald has been thinking about how to go back to Earth, after all, there are too many things here that are not suitable for it.
No computer, no electricity, no mobile phone, no WeChat......
But after a long time, the strange sense of unreality has become weaker and weaker.
It's not about playing games, it's all about living people, with their own ideas, outlook on life, their own lives, their own relatives and friends.
Every time McDonald listens to the voices of his parents and girlfriends who have passed over, and thinks about his home and is melancholy, he will be tormented by his conscience - the only self who knows the course of history, runs away irresponsibly and allows tens of millions of innocent people to die, is it really good to do so?
has not been contacted, all human lives are cold numbers at best, and only when they have really lived together will they have a sense of reality, perhaps the so-called fetters.
Looking at the servants, guards, and friends who saluted him respectfully and smiled at him, McDonald naturally thought of the tragic moment when the whole city was poisoned by the plague and turned into zombies, and the whole city became a paradise for the undead.
"Whew-" McDonald let out a long puff of air.
King Ryan Ureon should be desperate.
Dukedoms are different from dukedoms.
Even in the 'backwoods' of the mountains, Stratholme has a population of nearly a million.
After all, the Stormwind Kingdom has been established for a relatively short time, and it has been in a pioneering period for a long time, and its population has not been able to rise. A duke can have 100,000 people and snickered.
Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, 100,000 people can pull out an army of 10,000 people, which can definitely be regarded as exhaustive military force, filling in all the young and strong.
McDondon could fully imagine the tragic situation in the Stormwind Kingdom, the orcs of this period, in a state of being polluted by demonic blood, full of burning and looting. Civilians who can't escape are likely to become rations for wolves.
That picture makes me shudder just by imagining it.
"Didn't Your Majesty think of hiring mercenaries or adventurers?"
"Please, it doesn't work well. Accustomed to fighting in squads, they are easily overwhelmed by the green tide. And the treasury has long been out of money. Bowall's voice lowered: "Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and taxes have always been very light. β
"Your Excellency Vortagen, I know, of course, that the whole world must be brought to a state of total war. But it takes time. β
"The most important thing that Stormwind Kingdom lacks is time. Of course, we lack everything. "Bolval sighed many times tonight.
McDonald found that he was still thinking too simply.
In the face of the fierce orc rags, if you fight in the wilderness, a thousand people may be lost in one charge.
If he wants to mobilize the entire Stratholme Territory, it's not that 10,000 soldiers can't be gathered, the question is in what name does he get this army away, and then throw it into the Stormwind Kingdom thousands of miles away?
At this point, McDonald couldn't help but focus his gaze on an option in the system windowβan option he thought he would never use.
[Summons 10,000 otherworldly troops (clone humans) through the portal, which can be dropped into the designated portal in the world of Azeroth under any circumstances.] This unit is a professional unit that has experienced at least one fantasy world, they will bring their own weapons, food, ammunition, etc., and have a strong sense of battle, and 100% will not attack friendly troops. γ
Notes: [Due to language barriers, this unit is likely to cause some trouble.] γ
Finally, the price of the troops: [With this unit, a single opening of the portal requires the host to lose an additional 200,000 gold coins within the time limit.] For each additional day of the army's existence, an additional 10,000 gold is required for the loser. γ
The sight of these guys makes McDonald feel quite.
On second thought, Azeroth has a world of spaceships and aliens including orcs, and even humans and dwarves in this world are derivatives of Titans, so another army of clones, this is very 'beavers', right?
The only entanglement is that he meows to be an additional loser.
This makes someone's plan for a loser all the more uncontrollable.
McDonaln looked at Berval: "I have a force, in fact, no matter which old family has such a force. In peacetime, they are just mercenaries and adventurers. I can give the Kingdom of Stormwind, I have only one request, they only accept orders from Lothar, and the other generals, I don't know and can't trust them. β
Boval nodded happily: "Yes." β
"Buying time for the Stormwind Kingdom and reviving Lordaeron are not in conflict with these two plans. Next, let's talk about the dog of the nobleman's house. β
Hey?
Bolval's mind was full of question marks.
Unbeknownst to outsiders, two days later, a huge fleet of 20 large ships set off from Kurtiras.
This big order from Lordaeron made all the big shipyards in the island country of Kurtiras full of fat. The keels that were hoarded were all cleared in batches.
The old ship was repaired and sold for a high price.
The fleet will sail to the town of Southsea, the southernmost tip of the northern continent, directly south of Lordaeron, where it will load a large shipment of food and medical supplies purchased from the Alterac Barov family before heading to Stormwind City on the southern continent.
The fleet will unload supplies and begin to pick up refugees from the Stormwind Kingdom.
At the same time, just as Arthas was playing the Sugar Water Man game in the royal palace, controlling the Sugar Water Man to push his opponents off the syrup on a single-plank bridge and make him lose, a word spread in Lordaeron's aristocratic circles.
"What? Can someone get a bunch of orcs to be gladiators? "The Duke of Andohal was quite pleasantly surprised.
In contrast to the recently popular competitive game "Sugar Water Man", which allows noble ladies to play, watching gladiatorial matches is the mainstream entertainment of the Lordaeron aristocracy.
Brutal and bloody gladiatorial matches have always been the most popular sport among the Azeroths and other races. Aristocrats, wealthy merchants, and freemen who dare not play in person and pursue excitement like it very much.
After all, gladiatorial matches also come with gambling.
In the not-too-distant future, there will be two more famous tycoons who have served as gladiators: Thrall, who will become the Grand Chief of the Horde, and Varian Urian, the Prince of the Storm, who is now just a Shota.
It is not for nothing that Lordaeron has a low crime rate, as long as he goes to prison for theft, robbery and other crimes, he will most likely end up in the gladiatorial arena.
In addition to slashing people, you also have to fight lions, tigers, and even monsters.
'Win 10 fights to get exoneration and freedom' is, and apart from Varian's amazingly talented hunk guys, not many gladiators have survived five fights.
The troll that someone recently captured has become the new favorite of the gladiatorial audience.
As a troll who was brought back as a prisoner, he symbolically killed one in public, and sold the rest to Tyrenus for 30 gold coins and sold it to the nobles below. Fortunately, this money is greedy by Terenus, otherwise give money to McDonald, and McDonalken may jump to scold his mother on the spot.
Of course, this is one of the reasons why Terenas has such a good attitude towards McDonald.
