Chapter 517: Prince Garin Wants to Be Golded?
The war between humans and orcs has already taken place twice.
Humanity is a passive party, so to speak, and it can be said that it has been tragically ravaged. Farmland in villages was burned and women, children and children were killed.
But even so, after the end of the second war, the Human Kingdom Alliance still did not completely exterminate the surrendered orcs.
The core cognition advocated by human beings strives to distinguish humans from beasts and adhere to a bottom line. Don't let resentment get the way to your senses.
As Terenus once said, "If we do that, we will be no different from the orcs." ”
It's not a high-pitched song, it's a wise word, and in the final analysis, it's for your own good.
This time it's against the orcs, which one next time will it be a boar man or a minotaur or a troll?
This is not a world of origin, but a world where multiple intelligent populations coexist. And humans are a late emerging population.
There are some things that can be done silently if you have the strength, but you can't announce them to the public, especially if you are not strong enough to look down on sentient beings, and talking nonsense with a big mouth will cause serious consequences.
Visually, for a long time, the human race of Azeroth has had the need, even the necessity, to unite the intelligent population, develop together, and make the alliance bigger and stronger.
Even Kane Sun's split soul did not play mass extinction this time, but chose to exile the orcs.
Kane felt that in this regard, he and Tyrenus, the current king of Lordaeron, should coincide.
It's just that in the context of his 'technology driving productivity and production making it prosperous and powerful in an all-round way', some of the shortcomings accumulated over the years, such as self-contained and ill-intentioned magnates, have been taken advantage of the situation.
Under the general trend, those mountaineers who still had a few followers in the past have basically become lonely people, and the slight labor pains caused by cleaning up these people have been selectively forgotten by people in the context of interests and optimism about the money situation.
Besides, Kane is not like his cheap dad, who is a soldier and too rigid. Kane can be flexible, or rather, with his economic acumen and earning power, he is enough to support him to pretend to be a tyrant.
So in the eyes of others, those who have been cleaned up, the end is actually not bad, there is no power, and even the land has been taken away, but there is money, even if this money goes to the rich Dalon region of Lundan Lun, it is enough to buy a piece of land that is not inferior to this area.
It is true that some people did this, and for this reason the Lundanren magnates made a fortune from the Stormgard people, so much so that in recent years it has been rumored that the king of Stormgard has given gold coins to his subjects, and they are all very rich.
In any case, the Kingdom of Stormgard was the first of the Seven Kingdoms to emerge from the economic decay caused by the war.
This is reflected not only in the substantial improvement of the people's living standards and official affluence, but also in the realization of centralized power.
This is also necessary, there are only 50,000 people in total, if you still play the feudal state, the lords go their own way, where to find enough qualified workers?
But the situation in the kingdom of Lordaeron is not so sunny.
It is true that Terenus is the king, but his authority is mainly reflected in his direct domain. Major matters also need to be negotiated with the major lords, rather than a decision.
The Alliance has never had a particularly good way to deal with orcs.
The people have suffered from the poison of the two human-beast wars, and they have a lot of resentment against the orcs, which must be considered.
The interests of the powerful must also be taken into account. After all, during the war, the magnates also helped each other. When the war is won, there must be a reward. Otherwise, no one will play with it in the future.
It is precisely because there is no solution that satisfies all parties. That's why I'm locked up, delayed, until now.
Kane, on the other hand, thought that there was nothing wrong with exiled orcs to the wilderness.
But there are some theories about how to do it.
There is no leader who convinces most orcs, and even if they are released, they will not choose to cross the ocean and go through hardships to create a future.
They don't have a long-term vision, they don't think about their children and grandchildren, and they live one day at a time.
A small boss with a modicum of prestige or something would become an organized raider like some remnants of the Dragonthroat Clan entrenched in the wetlands.
Or a small group of three or so, they can do whatever they want, including being poachers, raiders, and so on.
At the very least, it has to be like a draketar (shaman), with a clear Tao (moral beliefs), as well as considerable charisma and talent, to gather a crowd, to make the orcs believe something, and to be willing to pay blood, sweat, and even life for what they believe.
Therefore, Ogrim Doomhammer, or someone like Thrall, is necessary.
The united orcs are indeed more difficult to defeat. But now it is more advantageous to unite most of the orcs under one banner and go to Kalimdor, so that they can concentrate their forces and do penance in internal affairs.
It stands to reason that wars have destroyed a lot of real wealth, and all countries are in a state of great need.
After comparing the history of this world and the origin world vertically and horizontally, it is not difficult to conclude that the 20 years after the war can be said to be the golden years.
However, if even basic law and order cannot be guaranteed, and the government has to devote its already small forces to the military while waiting to be fed in production, then it will fall into a state of reckless militarism and a vicious circle.
In the seven countries of mankind, basically every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.
The departure of the High Elves also saw this bad situation clearly. I don't want to be dragged down, so I do it.
Soras, who was involved in the Brexit Conference, told Kane about the situation.
The magnates of Lordaeron also have the impassioned and face-to-face statement: "The kingdom of Lordaeron will not forget the help of its allies, and humanity will not forget the help of its allies." In the future, the Kingdom will give back. ”
The High Elf representative smiled and said, "We're waiting for something back." ”
It means that in the second war between man and beast, humans already owe a lot to the high elves, just like the property has been mortgaged, pay this off first, and then take out a loan.
Kane saw this more thoroughly, and he said to Solas: "Between countries, there is a relationship of interests. What's more, different cultures and different populations with different histories have to plan for their own ethnic groups, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. ”
"From this point of view, the High Elves and their magical civilization have really low, very low demand for us. The original alliance with the human race led by Emperor Soladin was also because their own people were not prosperous, and they were in desperate need of cannon fodder because they were fighting against trolls. ”
And that time, they paid the bill. Without the High Elves, there would be no human spellcaster organization Kenrito, and there would be no Dalaran. ”
Solas said a little unhappily: "Then it's right to say that Greymane (King Gilneth) took advantage of the situation to break away from the alliance?"
Kane said in his heart: "Of course, how did the kingdom of Stormgard in the original historical line be played to death? If it weren't for me, Stormgard would have been the barracks of the alliance at all, the soldiers had all died on the battlefield, and the national strength had been squeezed out, how could the remaining old and weak and women support the kingdom? Terenus didn't have a good solution to the problem, so he played a hand of Dead Dao Friend Immortal Poor Dao, and you didn't see it. ”
On the other hand, he has to take care of Solas's face, and he has to play with some of it. He focused on the reasoning of looking at problems from different positions and perspectives and drawing different conclusions.
In any case, because of Kane's variable, Stormgard not only saved a large number of personnel, but also had a world of economic and national strength that was very different from the original historical line at the same time.
Even, the impact of his variable has already affected the entire human race.
To take the simplest reason, without Kane and his industry, the cost of arming humanity would be at least 50% higher than it is now, and the level of arming would be a big step lower.
In this period of uninterrupted skirmishes and conflicts, no one can calculate how much vitality the armed forces have preserved for the human population, but it must be a big gain.
Now, in the face of Terenus's request to send troops, Solas finally gave face to the alliance leader and sent combat forces after consulting Kane's opinion.
Citing his old age and the prince's need for experience, Solas made Garin Thorbain the supreme commander of the force, assisted by several of his old men.
On the face of it, this seems to be an opportunity to gild the heir to the throne in order to gain more seniority and a smooth succession in the future.
This is similar to the later Tyrenus sending Arthas to investigate the plague events. Of course, Terenus had no idea that things would be so tricky.
Most people are not very optimistic about Prince Garin, and think that Solas has played a bad move, where is this to brush his son's prestige, and he clearly wants to keep his old face and pit his son.
The opponent is the cunning Orgrim! a master of strategy, and the means of tactical use are also perfect. The Second Human-Beast War will beat the Kingdom Alliance to the point that it cannot be found.
If it weren't for the critical moment when Gul'dan took away nearly half of his combat power to develop the tomb of Sargeras, the Seven Kingdoms of Mankind would have been completely defeated.
Later, even though the Coalition, which had been given a chance to breathe, organized a large army to fight back, Orgrim killed Anduin Lothar with his own hands on the Burning Plains.
At that time, the human side had absolute superiority, and it was the mourning soldiers, so Tulayan (who was Lothar's deputy at the time) gnawed this old bone, and soon after, the old man escaped from the prison of Stormwind City.
Now that Tulayan and other League elites have lost to the Draenor world, Orgrim feels a little uncontrollable.
As for some people who say that Prince Garin is an apostle of the Holy Light, he is extremely powerful, and it is rumored that he can beat hundreds of orcs alone.
The magnates and experts are very disdainful of this: You believe all the folk rumors? Why can't a person go to heaven if he fights hundreds of people?
Besides, is an excellent army commander necessarily related to personal bravery?
As a result, Lordaeron's elite circle, who thought that Prince Torbain, who was amazingly gifted, would usher in the first defeat in his life on the orc issue.
"It's a nightmare? No, it's not that hard to look at things from a different perspective. Kane said this to his commanders.
And these commanders are also very Dante, they know what their prince is capable of.
As a certain officer said: "Heaven, is that difficult for Prince Garin? Some people, who are too self-righteous, think that others can't do it either." Our prince will surely achieve a great cause even more glorious than that of Solatin the Great, as long as there is that opportunity. ”
The Falcon Corps acted, and it did so quickly that it felt like a forced eviction.
In the towns of Southsea, Talenmere, and the Great Ranch, the Falcon Corps forcibly moved the population to the east of the Soradin Wall under the pretext of protecting the population.
Naturally, this approach has been resisted by locals, who have a deep affection for the land they have lived on for generations, and many of them say they are willing and able to defend their homes.
Then the Falcon Corps was rudely taught. The battle formation beat the dissatisfied militia boys, so that everyone clearly felt the gap between the militia and the professional army.
Someone cried and said, "You are so strong that you don't beat the orcs, but you come to bully us." ”
The grassroots officers and soldiers of the Falcon Legion said: "We don't understand the big truth, but we believe in our prince, his arrangement is always right, as evidenced by more than 10 years of events." ”
Well, Garin Torbell is indeed a golden sign. The people of Hillsbrad are also calloused......
