Chapter 45: Indecision
As a traditional member of the Kingdom of Gilneis, Ulysses did not have a good impression of the people of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
In terms of the founding time of the Kingdom of Gilneis, they are even higher than the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but unfortunately, in terms of military and economic strength, in terms of military and economic strength, the Kingdom of Gilneth is not as good as the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
All this time, it has been pressed down by the kingdom of Lordaeron.
Because of the proximity of the territory, the kingdom of Lordaeron and the kingdom of Gilneth have not been safe and quiet for thousands of years, and wars will break out from time to time.
Countless battles have been fought, and on the whole, the Kingdom of Gilneth has won fewer victories and more defeats, barely maintaining its undefeated streak without any offensive ability.
In this way, as an authentic Gilneth person, he has no opinion on the people of the Lordaeron Kingdom, which is a strange thing.
Now that feng shui is turning, the kingdom of Gilneth is in full swing, and the kingdom of Lordaeron has fallen, for the people of the kingdom of Gilneys, the most hated thing is not that they hate those undead, but those who are constantly clamoring for the restoration of the country from time to time.
This is the unified view of all the original nobles of the Kingdom of Gilneis, and as a member of it, Ulysses is no exception.
The reason for this is nothing more than profit.
These nobles of the Gilneth Kingdom, they have received a lot of benefits because of the expansion of the Gilnes Kingdom, and every nobleman and territory has been expanded, and basically on average, they will increase their titles by one level.
And where do these benefits come from? It doesn't go without saying that at all.
Naturally, it was obtained from the Kingdom of Lordaeron, which was cut down on the nobles of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
I felt a pain in my flesh. The nobles of the Kingdom of Lordaeron whose interests have shrunk. Naturally unwilling. Because the policy of the Kingdom of Gilneth is inclined to these nobles of the Kingdom of Gilneys, they naturally have strange ideas, they want to restore the country, want to restore the rule of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, so as to protect their own interests.
One side wants to restore the country and restore its own interests, and the other side occupies the benefits. Naturally do not dry.
The battle between the two sides has already begun.
However, the people who really dared to restore the kingdom and restore the Lordaeron Kingdom were those nobles, the ordinary residents of the Lordaeron Kingdom, who didn't have much thought about this.
The nobles of the Lordaeron Kingdom, under the impact of the nobles of the Gilneth Kingdom, were simply unable to form an army, without much resistance ability, and their territory was deserted. The population and the army were co-opted, and where there was the capital to resist.
That is, because of the isolation of the Western Plague Land and the Eastern Plague Land. Due to environmental factors, there is the lord of Dalong County, such a person can still hold on, and some places close to the main city of Lordaeron have no ability to resist at all.
Therefore, for these nobles who want to restore the kingdom of Lordaeron, especially those with talents, Ulysses hates them and wants to kill them as soon as possible.
Only when these people are all dead and clean, then no one plans to restore the kingdom of Lordaeron, can their interests be guaranteed, and their territories are legitimate, not suddenly one day, the kingdom of Lordaeron declares that these territories belong to the kingdom of Lordaeron, and they have no legal inheritance.
"Give them a day to think about it, and after a day, start the siege!" After Ulysses gave the order, he turned and left.
As he walked, he kept giving orders to Bardock beside him; "You will start to look for the siege equipment in the city in a while, and after you find it, all of them will be transferred, and then you will look for materials, just in front of the city lord's mansion, and start making siege equipment,"
"Yes," Bardock replied, nodding repeatedly.
This is to increase the pressure on everyone in the City Lord's Mansion, which Bardock still understands.
Just shouting is not enough to make them surrender, but also to cooperate with force, this is the most obvious truth, he still understands.
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, the gathered army, because of Ulysses' departure, did not have any slackness, and was ready to guard the people inside the City Lord's Mansion, intending to storm out.
However, such an approach is obviously redundant, and now the interior of the City Lord's Mansion is full of strangeness.
The originally intimate atmosphere was estranged at this moment.
The lord of Dalongshire clearly noticed that there was a distance between himself and the others.
People who can be in chaos in the city, be accepted as soon as possible, and enter the city lord's mansion to take refuge, their relationship with the relationship between the lord of Dalong County will naturally not be strange, on the contrary, they have a close relationship, so that they can not be suspected, so as to accept it at the first time.
With a sigh in his heart, the lord of Dalong County knew the shouting outside, on the surface, there was nothing? But the real situation, on the contrary, has already had an effect.
It's okay to deceive those ordinary soldiers with the reassuring words just now, and no one will take these knights seriously.
In today's situation, the Kingdom of Gilneth is in full swing, although it has experienced some disasters, but it has not affected the prestige of the Kingdom of Gilness, such as the continuous heavy snow, the Kingdom of Gilness has suffered a lot, but in the end, Prince Rex actually captured a demigod and came back.
The news came out and shook the eastern continent.
This news, every time he heard it in his ears, it would make one of his hearts be pierced once.
It was like being pierced by a sharp weapon, and people from the outside looked lively, but as a person who personally participated in the plan, he knew the inside story, which made him feel terrible.
Outside the city lord's mansion, the army has no siege equipment and cannot attack, and it is safe for the time being, which he knows well, but he also knows that this security is only short-lived.
When they have siege engines, it's time for a tough battle.
"Father," a man said as he strode over to the Lord of Dalonshire, hunched over and bowed his head.
Hearing the call, the lord of Dalongshire turned his head to look at the young man standing beside him, who looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old.
is relatively young, but his expression is tenacious, and he is not afraid and panicked because of the battle that broke out.
The lord of Dalong County stretched out his hand on the man's silver-white armor and stroked it gently, his eyes with a trace of grief.
This battle is a battle that must be lost, how can the lord of Dalong County not know that the army is besieging the city, and he can't escape, unless he has the strength of a big mage and can open the portal, otherwise even if he has a flying mount, it is useless.
"How did you get out? Hurry back? The lord of Dalong County flashed with sadness, and said directly when he opened his mouth.
"Father," the man was about to speak, but was interrupted by another rebuke from the Lord of Dalongshire, and his tone was full of anger and raised his voice; "Go back,"
The man noticed the look of the lord of Dalongjun and wanted to say something, but after all, he didn't say anything, turned around unwillingly, and strode away.
Watching him leave, the lord of Dalong County glanced at the others with a pair of eyes, which were extremely sharp and full of sharp mangs, making people dare not look directly.
The people who noticed the movement here looked away one after another, some twisted, some bowed their heads, and so on, all of them did not dare to look directly at the lord of Dalong County.
"Go back and rest, there will be no fighting during the day, be on guard at night, there will be a big battle tomorrow," said the lord of Dalongshire after inspecting the city walls, and then said to the many knights.
Looking at the ruthless and conforming crowd, his heart sank.
I was just about to open my mouth to talk and raise everyone's morale, but I thought of something, stuck in my throat, and couldn't speak.
The lord of Dalong County, not a ruthless person, dragged everyone to die together, he couldn't do it, with his wisdom, how could he not see that in this battle, if someone resolutely resisted, there would be absolutely no good end, in order to set a model, pull out and slaughter the whole family, that is an inevitable thing, but if you want to send yourself to death, he can't do it.
In a dilemma, he kept wandering, and finally he looked at his face, walked down the steps, step by step, and left.
After returning to his home, the lord of Dalongshire was extremely regretful at the moment.
He had expected this battle early on, and the Kingdom of Gilneth would attack him, which was already certain after the tide hunter was caught.
The collusion between himself and Kel'thugad, the Kingdom of Gilneth will definitely know.
That heavy snowfall caused a lot of disasters to the Kingdom of Gilneis, and the greater the disaster, the greater the hatred of the Kingdom of Gilneth for him at that time.
So in order to save his life, he began to expand the army, constantly expanding the army, and even took the initiative to start contacting Kel'thugad, but unfortunately, there was not much feedback on this contact.
It was as if Kel'thugad had forgotten him, and he didn't know he existed.
He was abandoned and became an outcast.
For this, he has long guessed in his heart, he can only bring benefits to Kel'thugad without leakage, and he can no longer help Kelthugad, with the evidence of the tide hunter, he has become the target of the public, and he can't accommodate him among humans, and if he wants to save him, unless the whole family runs, Kelthugad has no strength to protect him.
The Lich King is very strong, and the Lich King's power is not small, but it is all concentrated in Northrend.
At this time, when something big happened to the Lich King, all the power was concentrated in Northrend, and there would be no extraneous complications at all, and it was impossible for him to get shelter.
And the Kingdom of Gilneth did not pursue it after capturing the tide hunter, which made him feel lucky in his heart.
I thought that the tide hunter did not expose himself, from the initial apprehension, to the later peace of mind,
There was no immediate decision, which is why we are in today's predicament.
Hesitating, hesitating, he was already incompetent, but he wanted to return to the country, he scolded himself in a low voice. (To be continued......)
