Chapter 454: Resentment against Gilneth
Archmage Antonidas didn't speak, although he frowned, but he understood Anduin? Lothar's difficulties.
Despite the defeat of the orcs, the rebuilding of the Kingdom of Stormwind still has a long way to go; Anduin? Lothar must complete the reconstruction of Stormwind, the division of the refugee lands, the rewards of the nobles and the army, and the re-establishment of the royal authority of Stormwind in the shortest possible time...... As one of the largest human kingdoms on the continent, the Stormwind Kingdom is truly limited in the amount of assistance it can provide.
"I don't think there's much Terrenus can do." King Solas coughed dryly and said, "Lordaeron has been providing aid to other countries, and I think even if the treasury of Terenus is a mountain of gold, it will be emptied!" ”
King Terenus smiled silently—there was something else in King Soras's words, and in the face of his neighbor's speculation about Lordaeron's royal possessions, King Terenus chose to pretend to be mysterious.
"We can provide manpower." Magni? King Copperbeard spoke, and said angrily, "There is no shortage of people in our Iron Fort Castle, blacksmiths, warriors, and craftsmen; If you want iron ore and coal, I don't know what you can expect from the Iron Fort and other supplies. But I have to make one thing clear upfront - I don't have any money, and neither do my people. ”
Listened to Magni? The words of the copper beard, Arthas couldn't help but the corners of his mouth rose slightly-this king is really upright when he speaks, anyway, it's just a sentence - you can pick whatever you want, take whatever you want, just one word, no money!
Archmage Antonidas didn't know how the meeting was going to go on - all of them were difficult...... But what about the demons? Is it up to the mages of Dalaran to resist alone?
"Ahem...... I'm talking about Archmage Antonidas, except for all of us here. There must be someone else who needs to take on this responsibility, right? King Solas may have been a little upset, so he showed Archmage Antonidas a clear path.
"You mean......" Archmage Antonidas asked tentatively, after a moment's hesitation. Do you mean King Jean of the Kingdom of Gilne? ”
King Solas nodded and raised his voice: "We all know that the Kingdom of Gilneth has not been affected in this war, that is, their national strength has not been lost; Whether it's manpower, material resources or money, they can meet the needs here. ”
Arthas shook his head - the king of Riptide Castle was still on such an occasion to put him against Jean? Greyman's displeasure was expressed.
Everyone in the room could understand what King Solas meant, although he made it clear that the kingdom of Gilneth was not affected by the war. But anyone could tell that King Solas was saying that the Kingdom of Gilneth had contributed nothing to the Alliance's war.
Back a month ago, at Fort Riptide. King Solas had complained about the Gilneth Kingdom's insecurity in the presence of King Terenus, and now that he had brought the matter to such an important military council, the meaning of the two was completely different.
"Terenus. Before this meeting. Have you informed King Jean? Admiral Dalin, who had never been a talker, spoke.
"Yes, Dalin." King Terenus spoke, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "But I don't know why, Jean still didn't show up at this meeting. ”
"We also informed King Jean...... Tong guò his court mage. Archmage Antonidas said helplessly, "But King Jean said that he was not feeling well, so he could not come to this meeting. ”
"Excuses, this is definitely excuses!" King Solas said loudly as he slapped the table.
None of the people in the room spoke—the dwarves could not meddle in their own affairs. The Windranger Sisters didn't care much about what was going on at the meeting, and among the humans. And only the status and status of King Terenus and King Solas are enough for them to have a good relationship with Jean? Greymane made a reproach.
"Let's put Jean's questions aside, Solas." King Terenus spoke to stop the condemnation from continuing further, "Let's get back to the present and how to solve the problem here." ”
"What do you say about Terenus? And isn't that what Jean should do? King Solas retorted.
"Soras, the reason why we have come here in response to the call of Archmage Antonidas is not to protect the safety of the Kingdom of Gilneis, but to protect our own realm and civilians...... Isn't it? If these demons eventually form a scale and endanger the world, you and my country will not be spared. King Terenus said unhurriedly.
"That's right...... But Jean ......, "King Solas is not the kind of unrelenting character, but his temper is really too much to let Jean go?" Greymane's behavior is like this, so he wants to pull some allies and find a suitable time to attack the Kingdom of Gilneth together.
"Let's talk about it later......" King Terenus shook his head, and then said to Archmage Antonidas, "Archmage Antonidas, you don't have to worry about money, the royal family of Lordaeron will do their best to provide you with what you need; As for human and material resources...... I think there could be an army to take on some of the labor for the time being, just Magni? King Copperbeard also promised us that the Dwarven Kingdom would help us; As for the problem of building materials, I think we can also use the Dwarven Kingdom to support some of our craftsmen, and then collect them in the mines of the Stormwind Kingdom. In any case, for the peace of this world, we will provide all the help you need, please rest assured. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty King Terenas...... So......" Archmage Antonidas looked at King Soras.
"Okay, okay, am I the only one who seems stingy?" King Solas muttered a few times with some dissatisfaction, and then said to Prince Danas, "Danas, you just stay here for a while, anyway, those lads haven't fought a few battles, so sweating a lot is also good for the body." ”
"I see, Uncle Solas." Prince Danas nodded—even in his honorable capacity, there was not always an opportunity to speak at such a military meeting.
"As for the size of this new fortress and how it will be built...... Archmage Antonidas, as long as you come up with a proposal, we will do our best to find craftsmen to arrange it. "King Terenus has finalized the final plan.
"I see, His Majesty King Terenus, and His Majesty King Solas, thank you for your support." Archmage Antonidas stood up and thanked everyone. (To be continued......)
