Chapter 12 Humans are political creatures

As the smallest of the six human kingdoms in Lordaeron, the Kingdom of Alterac refers to the smallest land area, not the weakest. Since the death of Soladin the Great, the Arathas Empire has fallen apart, and the Arassol nobles who have gone north have established many city-states. And the city-states began to merge into kingdoms, in fact, it was something that began in the last hundred years.

When it was confirmed that the direct descendants of Emperor Soladin had established the kingdom of Stormwind in the name of Elwyn, Lordaeron's former courtiers dared to openly claim to be kings, as their emperor had renounced the crown of the empire on his own accord. Although no one cares anymore, no one wants to be attacked by the crowd.

As the first large city established by humanity north of the walls of Soladin after the division of the empire, Lordaeron has a special place in the hearts of all the people of Lordaeron, and even the continent of Lordaeron is famous because of this city. Occupying the city of Lordaeron, the Minethil family has an absolute prestige advantage, and after the efforts of Tenaris and his father for two generations, the kingdom of Lordaeron is the largest, most populous, most powerful, and most prestigious.

This was followed by the kingdoms of Gilneth and Kurtilas, whose kings were elected by the councils of nobles. Often underestimated, Gilneth is actually the third largest human kingdom in terms of territorial area, after the kingdoms of Stormwind and Lordaeron, and its territory encompasses the village of Burning Wood in the southern part of the Silver Pine Forest, Ambermere and the part south of it, and the entire Gilneth Peninsula. The entire territory of Gilneth is bordered by the sea, and a special kind of reef "bite reef" grows around the coastline, which severely restricts the maritime trade of the Kingdom of Gilneys. Greymane began with the current King Jean. Greymane is isolationist, so the third largest country doesn't have the strength of the second Lordaeron to match. Under the leadership of the Proudmoor family, Kul Tiras, with the lucrative profits of ocean trade, the country was stable and the people were prosperous (the country with the highest GDP per capita in Lordaeron).

The Kingdom of Dalaran is a mage kingdom controlled by the mage organization Ken Ruito, and the capital Violet City is even more prosperous in the world, and its true power cannot be judged by pure national strength.

Fort Riptide controlled the vast majority of the territory of the Arathi Heights, but after the departure of the royal family of Arathas, the Torbain family was unwilling to admit that they had betrayed the royal family, and still regarded themselves as loyal servants of Soladin, and the current High Lord Solas. Torbain became king without a crown, taking control of Fort Riptide, the former capital of the kingdom of Araço----.

And the kingdom of Alterac, the first kingdom independent of the Alaso Empire, was established in Aiden. Grandpa Pirenod's generation made peace with the ancestors of the Barov family, and united a group of little brothers to occupy the mountain as kings. However, for some reason, the Pirinods built the city of Alterac in the mountains, which made not many people willing to follow them, and the kingdom was only about 100,000 people, more than half of whom lived in the fiefdoms of the Barov family. However, the kingdom of Alterac is rich in mineral deposits and forest resources, and the Oakland Alpine Horse, as the horse breed with the highest shoulder height in Lordaeron, gives the Alterac cavalry an innate advantage. The high altitude of the mountains also sharpened the physique and will of the inhabitants, and the physical qualities of the mountain dwellers of Alterac were much higher than their compatriots who lived in the hilly and plain areas. There is a saying in the Knights of the King of Alterac ------that we are the children of the mountains, the wrath of the mountain gods, and the blue avalanche (the main color of the costumes of the Knights of the King of Alterac is blue and gold).

As a child, Carlos had hatched a plan to overthrow the Pirenor family by force, but after attending the King's Birthday Banquet and watching the military parade in Alterant City for the first time at the age of seven, the first thing Carlos did when he returned to Fort Keldaron Lake was to silently burn the plan of action he had drawn up behind closed doors based on the memories of his past life. As long as the Knights of the King of Alterac supported their own king, the Barovs alone could not shake the rule of the Pirenods. Those knights of the Royal Order were simply blue humanoid beasts. So Carlos began to train harder, and Aiden, who had such an elite army, would surrender to the tribe out of fear, how powerful the orcs should be.

Three days before the date agreed in Alex's summons, they arrived at Steinbrad, east of Alterac City, where the armies of the noble lords were stationed in the suburbs.

The arrangement of King Aiden of Alterac is very interesting, the ladies are all holding balls and enjoying food in the city of Alterac surrounded by mountains, the army of the noble lords is stationed in the suburbs and riding horses and fighting every day to have a barbecue meeting, and the king and the noble lords are gathering in the town of Steinbrad every day to have a small meeting and a small quarrel.

There is no reason to talk about the daytime meeting, so everyone has their own little abacus. Countless dirty hookups always happen at night, so the aristocratic old men are all covered with thick powder on their faces to cover up their dark circles.

When Carlos found his father, he learned that Alex hadn't slept well for more than ten days, and he had a rare excuse to welcome his eldest son and was catching up on sleep.

"Luzon, don't wake up my father, I'll go out for a walk and come back at dinner time." After arranging, Carlos only took his personal attendant Todd and magic advisor Fang Brick to the tavern, ready to eat some decent food and inquire about the news by the way.

"Uncle Brick, the combination of Alterac ham with alpine oatmeal bread slices and snow rock goat cheese is a perfect match, and Lordaeron's gang of turtles who only know about sausages can't enjoy this taste." Todd got the master's eyes and enthusiastically introduced the special food of the Alterac Kingdom to the ** master.

"Well, it's delicious." Under the subtle influence of Carlos, Fang Brick accepted the statement that he was not in a loud voice, and his way of speaking became more and more like Uncle Fang Brick in my name mT, which satisfied Carlos's bad taste a little.

Carlos silently looked at his attribute panel, and felt more and more that this skill was a real magic skill, and it also had its own information analysis ability, such as:

Prostitute: "I heard that their families are in the royal city, and those humanoid self-propelled seeders can endure it?" Even their attendants don't come to take care of business, have those big men been popular lately? Doing those Bing brothers' business every day, I'm tired to death. ”

(The aristocracy was purposefully engaged in tandem and private transactions, and did not have time for breeding activities.) )

Blacksmith: "Repairing the knights' machetes and horseshoes every day has dominated my life, and it's good to make money, but those masters still pick and choose to dislike my craft, so don't use it for fear that your weapons will be damaged." ”

(The private soldiers of the lord fought in private, and the situation was mundane, and the weapons were more worn.) )

Miller: "Boss, the two hundred pounds of flour you asked for have been brought to you, and they are being unloaded at the back door, you can go and have a look, and the account will be settled without any problem. ”

(There were quite a few people gathered around Steinbly, and judging by the amount of flour and the number of people dining, there were at least 500 people in Guangcheng District.) )

After an afternoon of eating and drinking, Carlos got a general idea of the current situation.

What the? Spend money to ask the bartender?

Sick, what top-secret news do the common people know.

It's good to wait for my father to wake up and ask for first-hand information.

It's really a bunch of losers.
