Chapter 41: Preparing for War (Page 1/1)

"The Combined Fleet is gone, Your Majesty, do you think it's possible for us to form a new fleet and go to Lordaeron?" That's a send-off, not to mention that we don't have the ability to form a fleet. Kurtilas is not in danger of protecting himself, Your Majesty! ”

In winter, while Lordaeron was already covered with snow, the sea kingdom of Kurtilas had a mild climate. However, in this mild land, a fierce debate is taking place over the fate of the nation. Gianna and Varian's letters arrived almost simultaneously. Queen Catherine knew the contents of the letters before she even opened them. Gianna still has some family sympathy, while Varian writes the letter purely with the plea between kings.

They all hoped that Kurtilas would be able to send troops again and open the waterway. That was the only way to save Lordaeron.

Catherine is conflicted in her heart, on the one hand, after the death of Daelin, Gianna settled in Karimdor, and there was a power vacuum in the kingdom of Kurtilas, and it was she, who was not afraid of hardships and dangers, and used all means to maintain the kingdom so that it would not be torn apart, and now, Gianna and Varian's request has undoubtedly pushed the kingdom of Kurtilas to the knife again. If she does her best to mobilize the whole country to form a fleet, it will inevitably increase the financial burden on the government and even lead to bankruptcy. In addition, it is unreasonable that a powerful sea kingdom does not have a navy to protect itself. The nobles of Kurtiras would not agree, and neither would the people of the other families.

Looking at the melancholy faces in the palace, Catherine held two letters for help in her hands, she looked at the white light outside the house, and then at the gorgeous palace, she made up her mind...... Walking to the illuminated stand in the center of the main hall, he placed the parchment on the torch, and the flames instantly engulfed the two thick letters.

The ministers cheered. However, in the next second, Catherine's words shocked everyone-

"Activate the state of the highest alert in the country and start a national war. Gather the remaining warships in the kingdom and rendezvous at the port of Kurtilas in three days. Go to war against the Scourge Legion! ”

The queen just said a simple sentence, and the scene immediately exploded. No one would have thought, no one would ......

"Your Majesty, do you know what you were talking about?"

Admiral Delos, commander-in-chief of the fleet of Kurtiras, asked in surprise. Despite being a subordinate of Queen Catherine, as the commander-in-chief of the fleet and protector of the kingdom, Delos felt obligated to stand up against this crazy decision.

"I know very well that all of you are probably cursing me in your hearts at this moment, all of you are cursing me for being a traitor, and you are even ready to disobey in your hearts. Because as you all know, Kul Tiras has no fleet anymore. A sea kingdom, a sea power, lost its fleet, what kind of kingdom is it? Caravans will be left unprotected, pirates will attack our merchant ships, attack our people. Kurtilas may never even be safe to trade again. ”

"And you're still doing it?!"

A representative of the nobility couldn't help but stand up and question in public.

"For the sake of Azeroth, we must do this."

Catherine replied coldly and calmly. She then turned and returned to her throne, where she sat down steadily.

"Lordaeron, thousands of miles away, it has nothing to do with us, since Arthas destroyed the kingdom of Lordaeron, we have lost contact with this land, even if Ares leads the people of Lordaeron back, our trade with them is very scarce, and the total amount is not even a tenth of our trade with Stormwind. But you must know what Lordaeron represents. It represents the last spirit of human resistance. I don't like Ares, he's a scumbag, but I have to say that it was the Lordaeron coalition led by the Knights of the Silver Hand that blocked the southern invasion of the Scourge Legion. As a result, the Scourge Legion has not gone south in the past few years, and Stormwind and Ironforge have been able to prosper so much. If Lordaeron falls again, the war will spread across the entire Eastern Kingdom. ”

"That's why Varian and Magni personally led their troops north, and if we don't win this war, then the Scourge will completely destroy the northern continent, and then besiege Kurtilas, and in a few years, even Stormwind and Ironforge will fall. At that time, money and wealth, land and people, were long gone. ”

Catherine sat on the throne and said aloud.

Based on her prestige, although the nobles complained, they did not dare to refute her directly.

She continued—

"I remember during the Orc War, my husband, Dalin. Admiral Prodmore, leading all the fleets and ships of the country of Kurtiras, arrived at Lordaeron to support the Alliance against the Horde. Fight against bloodthirsty orcs. At that time, we were all united in our hatred, and we were united in our efforts to drive the orcs out of our land. And now, darkness has fallen again, and Kurtiras has reached its most critical moment, and Azeroth has reached its most critical hour. All the people of the kingdom should devote themselves to this war. I've heard that this time, it's not just the Stormwind legion led by Varian who has arrived in the North, but the entire southern continent, where thousands of adventurers and irregular armies have also arrived. We should be able to do something about them. ”

"But we don't have any ships!"

The lord of the House of Stozon stood up and roared loudly.

"It is true that there are no warships in the kingdom, but there are people who do. We also have hundreds of fishing boats and merchant vessels. ”

Catherine said solemnly.

"Are you crazy? Are you going to force the people to go to war? ”

"No, it's the people's choice, launch the Kingdom Order, and prepare for war. I trust that the people of Kul Tiras will not sit idly by. Even though we have long since separated from the mainland, we have never been alone. ”

Catherine said aloud. Her voice was so rich and rich that it was reminiscent of Admiral Dalin. Even if it is just the shadow of the general, it is enough to arouse their hearts to fight with blood.

"For Kul Tiras!"

"For Azeroth!"

Several of Dai Lin's former crew members couldn't control the surging blood in their hearts, and stood up and shouted.

Immediately afterwards, more of the old captain of Kul Tiras, Dalin's former men, stepped forward, and they shouted together in solidarity with Catherine in battle. For a while, there was a roar in the hall, they were the people of Kurtiras, the sea kingdom could lose its fleet, it could lose its crew and sailors, but it could not lose the spirit of resistance. Even if you fight to the last Kurtilas, you will never give in to the sea!
