Chapter 289: A Dirty PY Deal
What is an Alliance?
Carlos had thought about this question over and over again.
Then reason gave him very terrible results.
The Union is simply a military organization that exists to fight the Horde.
Because orcs are terrible, let's join the Alliance.
Because the people around us are so scary, let's join the alliance.
Because the alliance is terrible, please let me join you.
Without orcs, there is no alliance.
After all, the visionaries are only a few, and the short-sighted are all beings.
Why was Lothar unable to move south?
Is it that the remnants of the orcs who remained in the Hillbride area are lagging behind in their desperate resistance?
Is there not enough ships to transport away?
Is food and grass scarce and human beings are powerless?
Maybe they have all of them, but the main reason is that people's hearts are scattered.
The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.
Everyone knows that orcs are very harmful, but haven't they been beaten away?
I've done my best to fight the beast, I've shed blood for the Alliance, and I demand to be rewarded!
This is what the aristocracy thinks.
I'm starving, I'm paying taxes and serving, I've never been beaten by orcs, I've driven them away, and I'm going to feed the army with food and clothing.
This is the idea of the ignorant but numerous civilians in the rear.
Hindering Anduin. Many of the Palatine bays that Lothar goes south of are the ravines of human nature called selfishness.
How much did you lose in the war?
Five million gold coins, what about you?
Ten million.
Oh, it's miserable, I'm at least 20 million!
After the end of the fighting in the Hillbride Hills, the forces of all parties will finally count the losses and **** wounds.
Thereupon. At the behest of Generalissimo Lothar, a tragic meeting was inevitable.
Aside from the loss of life and mental trauma, which cannot be estimated in gold, tangible possessions can always be valued.
Then, the damage estimation of the ulterior motives of the various forces begins.
Carlos doesn't know exactly what is going on in other countries, but Alterac's damage is estimated to be great.
Rounded up to double. The deficit and corruption are included in it, and the bad debts and dead accounts are not counted, in order to be more miserable than one place.
When the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave that during the war, Alterac had lost at least seven million nine hundred and forty-nine thousand one hundred and forty-three gold coins, Alex. Grand Duke Barov Regent directly added one at the top of the number, and after thinking about it, he asked the Chancellor of Finance to double it again.
As a result, the war loss data of the Alterac Kingdom is freshly released.
After getting the data from the countries, Sir Lothar made a move.
Send money.
The Alliance is not a for-profit organization, and everything about the Alliance is reasonably built by the countries.
Therefore, the loot collected should always be returned to everyone.
According to the data you guys gave. Distribute it evenly.
Come, all the things we have seized from the orcs, which belong to us in the first place, are here, take them.
Okay, okay, sit in a row and eat the fruit.
But no, how can you get less than two million dollars?
Even if the number I provide is a bit large. The numbers provided by others are counted as fractions, and it can't be just that!
Oh. Maybe the orcs shipped it back.
……
Orcs must die!
Lothar used a piece of bread that I don't know if there was one, and mobilized the short-sighted people to fight the war.
However, Lothar, who is fully engaged in the southern expedition, has the selfish purpose of recovering the Storm Kingdom, and his position is no longer so neutral, how can he prevent the intrigue between countries.
For the post-war rights and interests of the Hillbride Hills, the Quartet concerned wore the same uniforms. The dark war is endless.
This is also why the domestic forces in Alterac dare to create Carlos's rebellion.
Foreign forces have emboldened them.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
At the scene of the bloody wedding banquet, more than a third of the people fell in a pool of blood, and after several rounds of purging, there were still so many nobles, Carlos glanced around casually. Nodding his head in greetings to his father and Ned, he strode to the podium.
"Ned! You don't die well, you have betrayed us! ”
"Betrayal? No, I am loyal to His Majesty Carlos, I have a clear conscience. And you are the traitors. ”
"This is impossible, hasn't the Monarch Killer been assassinated in the wetlands?"
The remaining rebels let out a reluctant wail.
That's not true!
That's not the case!
That's not how the script is written!
Said that Riptide Castle and Lordaeron would work together to overthrow the royal family of Alterac, and everyone said that everyone would elect the queen first and then restore the country, and the parliament would govern the country?
Ned, you traitor!
Don't you want to bring a crown for your grandson?
Obviously, it was you, you who contacted us first, it was you who first proposed to overthrow the Barov family, and it was you who said that Carlos is dead, and Alex wants his second son to ascend the throne.
It's you, it's all you, it's so reasonable, but when it comes to the end, it's us who die!
"Alex, in the south, it's okay to be idle, go hunting, this thing is quite rare, so I'll give it to you as a gift."
After Carlos finished speaking, eight guards walked into the hall carrying a huge head on a pole.
In the midst of the exclamations, there were already polymath who recognized it as the head of the tidal giant.
The black blood that had solidified and adhered to it continued to drip from the wound, and the huge fishy smell even suppressed the smell of human blood in the venue.
Touching his mother's cheek and kissing the back of Sasha's hand, Carlos sat down at the table, facing the guest seats, smiling paradoxically and saying nothing.
No one expected that Carlos would appear here at this time, after the highly purposeful and targeted killings had caused many unsuspecting people to freeze their brains. It wasn't until Carlos, fully armed, sat down with his chest folded and looked at them with a playful eye that everyone remembered to salute.
"What do you think a paladin is. Pedantic tin cans, rigid dogmatists? What do you think the king is? A good shield, a fool? Why doesn't anyone think about it, if you can't be more cunning than the enemy, how can the paladins insist on their own justice, if you can't be stronger than you, why should I be your king! ”
Changing concepts and arguing with strong words, if it were put in a debate competition, Carlos's speech would be refuted to the fullest.
However, at this moment, what is fighting is momentum, and what is talking is aura.
Carlos, who has always given people the image of strong personal force and moderate political aura, suddenly exudes a domineering atmosphere, which makes everyone present feel a sense of novelty and trembling.
Including Ned and Alex, and even Carlos' mother behind him.
The king is in charge of war, the grand duke is in charge of governing the country, and many people have formed such a stereotyped thinking.
But today, right here, everyone seems to see another Carlos.
"Let's cheer for Count Ned, because of the old earl's exploits, the last cancer of the kingdom has been eradicated, and the people of Alterac will finally be united."
At the sound of the soldiers' shields, the nobles began to cheer and clap their hands, although they did not understand what to be happy about.
"As a bonus, I will use the Hillbride Hills that are twice the size of Gavin's Highlands as Earl Ned's refief. At the same time, I have good news for you, and that is that I have decided to build a new city in Tarummere as the new capital of the kingdom. ”
After placing Count Ned on the fire, Carlos released a bombshell message.
"As your future queen, Lordaeron will use Anhadol as a dowry. Alterac is bound to rise! (To be continued.) )
