Chapter 106: The Boom and the Lionheart
A nationwide call-up order has been issued, and a wave of enlistments has been set off across the Stormwind Kingdom.
The populace has been partially informed, and the Titan gods have revealed a great catastrophe to come: an alien race called the Orcs is coming to the world of Azeroth, and they are going to burn down human cities, kill all human civilians, raze human kingdoms, and destroy human kingship.
But no one is afraid of this, humans are creatures with a strange mentality, and they will be extremely vigilant and nervous in the face of the fear of the unknown or a surprise attack, even if the enemy is just a weak little squirrel.
And once they know in advance what the enemy they are going to face is, where they come from, and what they are capable of, humans are not afraid, even if this enemy is very strong.
Preparing in advance and being prepared can bring human beings incomparable self-confidence and the heart to resist the enemy.
And by accepting the overwhelming propaganda of the ruling class and the conviction that the rulers have a plan to resist the enemy, people will forget about the possibility of defeat.
Of course, it is one thing to go into battle to kill the enemy for the motherland, and on the other hand, the recruitment conditions this time are too generous.
The military salary of up to fifty silver coins per month also has the possibility of staying in the army for a long time and eating iron rice bowls, and the Storm King Court even announced the military merit rewards corresponding to killing the enemy.
The head of an orc is clearly marked with a gold coin, although it also shows that once it is found that the person who has robbed the credit is black, the whole team will be sentenced to death, but this has not affected the upsurge of people joining the army in the slightest.
That's a dazzling gold coin!
The purchasing power of a gold coin in the world of Azeroth is still very strong, and ordinary people occasionally have a luxury, and go to the gold-inlaid roses of Stormwind City to eat a good meal, which will cost less than a few dozen copper coins after reaching the sky, and the average monthly cost of ordinary civilian families is only fifty silver coins, which is the level of half a gold coin.
Now an orc head is worth a gold coin, Titans are on it, and we love orcs to death.
As a result, groups of newly recruited soldiers from all over the Stormwind Kingdom began to practice in makeshift barracks throughout the Elwyn Forest.
The original veterans, after receiving targeted training, immediately opened various fortress defense points.
Throughout the territory of the Stormwind Kingdom, you can see moving torrents of blue and white armor everywhere, as well as a sea of flags with golden lion heads on a blue background.
They gathered under the banner of the golden lion's head, and each of them was in high spirits, eager to kill all the orc tribes who wanted to invade their homeland at once.
Stormwind City is also condensed into a rope at this moment, of course, this does not show how knowledgeable those nobles are, except for a very small number of enlightened nobles led by the Grand Duke of Berval, most of the other nobles initially raised strong opposition and dissatisfaction with this kind of nationwide construction and army mobilization.
Many of them had their lands or properties affected to varying degrees, so the protests filled the King's Hall in Stormstorm Fortress for a while.
What a bullshit war! Our territory is now seriously short of labor! The amount of profits in our real industry has dropped sharply!
Isn't it some orc from another world, just listen to the name and know that it is a group of low-IQ beasts, why do you have to deal with it so grandly, isn't it a little too sensitive!
Well, these drunken nobles will never understand what the orc tribe is, and only when the sharp axe of the orc warrior cuts their necks will this group of nobles understand that the orcs are not beasts, but an intelligent race indistinguishable from human intelligence.
"Your Majesty, we resolutely oppose this kind of waste of money and labor, and ask Your Majesty to order the immediate cessation of useless construction and the movement of soldiers in various places, for the people desire peace and development. ”
"Seconded, what kind of orcs are there, it's a big deal to throw them some wasteland that no one wants, I think it's good to be a wasteland, just let that group of beasts go there to breed, presumably their IQ is not much higher. ”
"Second, it's still important to focus on the overall situation, Your Majesty. ”
But as they spoke, they suddenly noticed that King Lane had a strange expression at the moment, and that he was looking at them with a look of remembrance and farewell, and that he had not argued with them as unusually as before.
"Is there anything else you would like to explain?" said His Majesty, at last, but it sounded awkward.
It didn't take long for them to understand why it sounded so awkward.
A squad of royal guards rushed in, and after a period of confusion and noise, the nobles were all arrested.
At the same time, all the nobles who had opposed King Lane's policies were kicked open and taken to Stormwind prison.
At first, there were still many people who wanted to shout grievances and quibble, but under the special interrogation of several high-level elven mages, they rushed to pour out their truest thoughts and all the dirty things they had done.
These high-level elven mages have mastered some psychic and spiritual spells taught by the Faceless One, and although it is not possible to corrupt the mind with such a profound thing, it is still a trivial matter to interrogate these undetermined nobles and force them to tell the truth.
The Stormwind Kingdom can be regarded as the most lively period since the founding of the country at this moment, and there are earthquake-level events staged in military and domestic affairs all the time.
After this internal purge was over, the old nobles basically all collapsed, leaving only those small nobles who were trembling, and they didn't dare to let go of a fart, and absolutely obeyed His Majesty's arrangement.
Ryan was quickly replaced by a group of obedient new nobles loyal to the Storm Winds, and Grand Duke Berval is now free of the suppression of the old nobles in the past, and has quickly become King Ryan's internal affairs steward, he and Lothar have a master inside and a master outside, and the division of labor is extremely clear.
Oh, don't look at the Grand Duke of Bowval, although he is proficient in internal affairs, he is also a powerful warrior, and some time ago he discovered that he has the talent to perceive the Holy Light, but the Grand Duke is not interested in becoming a priest.
It's just that under the aura of Anduin Lothar, the supreme generalissimo, people like Berval can easily be overlooked, and they are also qualified generals.
No way, the Lothar family is too famous, after all, they are the direct descendants of the former Soladin the Great.
Standing on the white walls of Stormwind, King Ryan watched the bands of soldiers in and out of the main square of the city gate below, and nodded to Lothar beside him.
"The Alliance's war machine is at full strength, and I believe that no one will be able to resist the Alliance that is ready, and no matter how strong that orc tribe is, we will defeat them and drive them away. ”
Lothar nodded heavily when he heard this, and behind the two of them stood a large flag with a golden lion head on a blue background that hunted in the wind.
And Boss Hu, who was sitting on the soft chair next to him and slowly sipping moonshine wine, suddenly paused, and then shook his head and showed a smile.
"Two, get ready, Medivan's soul has been completely silent, and the Dark Titan Sargeras has taken full control of Medivan's body and is heading to the Dark Swamp region at the moment.
"Orcs, coming. ”
