Chapter 576: Sunrise
The red sun is shining all over the east, and the god of liberty is singing.
Look, thousands of mountains and ravines, iron walls and copper walls.
Lao Tzu's team had only just opened, and there were seventeen or eighteen boats and thousands of guns.
The fleet had departed, heading south along the coastline from Quildanus, up the river estuary from Lordanmere, passing through the city of Lordaeron and Dalaran and finally reaching Otrank.
Although it will cause speculation among the countries along the way, no one will interfere with Quel'Thalas's actions.
Because apart from Carlos, no one else could guess what Anastarian was trying to do.
The radiant high elves are naturally superior.
Before the truth comes out, as long as Carlos doesn't step out of the cabin, who can guess that the king of Alterac is on the battleship of Silvermoon City at this moment.
The fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, but that's it.
At least Carlos has [beep] in his heart, and he is not a tiger until he regains power.
The road to a strong country is in step with the road to the strong.
Alterac's unique terrain is naturally like this, and when he was still the generalissimo of the Alliance, he actively planned for the future of the kingdom.
This is true for Anhador, and so is for Hillbride.
Is it a lost decade?
Let's look at the angle.
Over the course of a few months, Carlos gradually mastered the power he had drawn from Medivan.
Although there are many doubts, Carlos thinks that Medivin gave it to him.
This power is undoubtedly powerful, and if Valimatas dares to stand in front of Carlos, Carlos dares to tear off its Scourge Wings and crumple them into Leaky Wings; If Nefarian dared to ask Carlos what this trick was called, Carlos wouldn't mind teaching him what the cosmic CQC was; If Sylvie. No matter how much Morgan dares to overlord the bow, Carlos has nothing to fear......
Ask yourself, this power is not something that can be obtained by ten years of penance.
But at what cost?
Having gained force, Carlos lost his momentum.
The spirit of Alterac condensed because of himself also gradually dissipated with his disappearance.
The Hillbride Frontier came to a standstill because of the entanglement of interests of various forces, and the development of Anhadol was also unrecognizable due to the interference of his old father-in-law.
After gathering information, Carlos reluctantly discovered that the Great Alterac plan that he and his father had planned countless days and nights was essentially bankrupt.
Previously, because of Gilneth's existence, Lordaeron had a lot of tolerance for Alterac, and when Gilneth withdrew from the alliance and began to close off the country, Alterac became the main object of suspicion of Lordaeron.
Withdrawal will not be withdrawn, and the alliance will not withdraw for the rest of its life.
With Jean. Greymane is different, Alex. Barov, as the real ruler of Alterac, deeply understands the consequences of withdrawing from the alliance, and understands what kind of aftermath will bring about for a momentary refreshment.
And what can Alterac do if he stays within the alliance dominated by Terenus?
Not.
Why did Gilneth leave the league?
There are three main reasons for this.
In terms of national strength, Gilneth is not much different from Fort Riptide; In terms of financial resources, the policy of cultivating the Silver Pine Forest before the war began depleted the Gilneys of their vast savings; As the backbone of the Orcs' northward movement, half of Gilneys' territory has implemented a scorched earth policy.
From a domestic point of view, the struggle for power between the three major families and the Greymans has weakened Gilne's overall strength, and the Gilnesians, who have been isolationist, are very dissatisfied with Jean's lack of voice in the alliance, and Jean's ruling foundation is showing signs of shaking.
From the perspective of the external environment, the consequence of Terenus's overt and covert stamping on Jean is Gilne's political isolation.
From an economic point of view, without the post-war partition of Alterac, countries would be able to absorb the wounds of the war internally, and whoever contributed more would lose more. At this time, the advantage of Lordanron's large number of people is infinitely magnified.
In this case, Terenus's efforts to revive Stormwind, build the Watchtower, and imprison the orcs and build the Detention Center were the three straws that broke Greymane.
If you want to continue to compete for the right to speak in the alliance, you must contribute money and efforts, but after such an unprofitable war as the second orc invasion, what will Gilneis, who has shaken the foundation of the country, fight with the Minethil family, a big dog family?
Exiting is probably the best option.
And what about the Barovs?
How good can it be?
It's just hard to carry.
Just to build the Watchtower, the funds allocated by the countries are a lot of money, plus the placement of the orcs......
Even two major purges can't stop careerists from growing like leeks stubble after stubble.
Cut into a long north-south shape by mountains and lakes, from Keldaron to Anhador and then through Alterac City and finally to Southsea Town, because the plan to develop Hilbride was frustrated, the Barov family could not effectively control Hilbride, and the new capital city that Carlos had envisioned now has no shadow, but with the resumption of production, the importance of Alterac City has become more and more prominent.
After all, the terrain of Keldaron, the fortress in the middle of the lake where Carlos lived since he was a child, existed as an important fortress during the era of the Arathi Empire, although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not suitable as a place for large-scale reclamation, and it is still a tourist mecca for summer vacation.
Although Anhador is suitable for exploration, there is no danger to defend in the west, and once it is at odds with the kingdom of Lordaeron, it can be destroyed in one day.
After the Second Orc War, Alterac went from being a marginal city to an important hub between the north and the south.
This change also forced Alex. Barov has become more and more conservative within the alliance, and in addition to not withdrawing from the alliance, he has become more and more similar to Gilness in terms of national policy.
Because the eldest brother who can't afford the settling-in allowance will always be said sorry by the younger brother.
Big brother, I'm sorry, you're in my way.
In ten years, although people will not forget the great Knight King, but in Alterac, those guys with ulterior motives have begun to connect.
After all, Anhador, which was used in exchange for Briel, was a large barren swamp that Tyrenus used to connect Kakeldaron to Alterac City. And now Anhador produces grain worth half a million gold coins a year.
And the ownership of Anhador, nominally shared by Carlos and Galya.
After all, although the Barov family did not win the Hilbride title deed battle that year, they did not lose either, at least a large area of land in the central and southern parts of the country was essentially owned by Alterac.
Alterac, who lost Carlos, seems to be weak, but he has a standing army of more than 100,000 and has a rich "legacy".
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Gilneth was essentially forced away by Terenus, and persecuting Alterac in a short period of time will have an extremely bad impact, so the wise ruler of Lordaeron chose to secretly stumble.
After all, time is on his side.
The connivance of the Kingdom of Lordaeron has exacerbated the turmoil in Alterac. Barov hasn't left Alterac City for seven years.
Because he was afraid that if he left Alterac City with his front foot, Alterac would split with his back foot.
A turbulent Alterac who fits the appetite of the Cursed Sect very well, shakes hands with political conspirators and religious lunatics, and even has the shadow of a Black Iron Dwarf and a dragon.
The gun shot the first bird, you Carlos had a good time back then, and now slowly pull the list.
The result of the competition between various forces in Alterac is the turmoil in Alterac City.
Even a nominal army of 100,000 could not suppress the turmoil.
Carlos doesn't have the extra energy to play a political game with these clowns.
He's back, just to sweep away the smoky miasma of Alterac.
Therefore, the soldiers will come to the city and talk about it.
How can you give the guys of the Cursed Sect a chance to fight monsters and level up?
If my former little brother Carlos wants to kill him, he will kill himself!
