Mo Fei looked at the subtle changes in Godwin's expression, but he inexplicably had a feeling in his heart that all the chaos in front of him had already been planned by Godwin.

Although it seems that everyone is angry and unhappy with Godwin's plan, in fact, it is all in his plan.

This thought surprised Murphy himself.

This thing can't really be so calculating, right?

It stands to reason that Godwin, as the leader of the alliance, should work hard to maintain the stability and centripetal force of the alliance.

Even if you want to scrape money from various kingdoms and weaken the strength of each country, you must design it cleverly and leave no traces.

But from his claim that he would raise funds to build an orc detention center, and now he has added several goals to this plan, it seems that he deliberately wants to provoke the countries.

Could it be that a conjecture suddenly popped into Murphy's mind.

Could it be that Godwin wanted to take the initiative to cause a split in the alliance? And then unify the countries by force and establish the Lordaeron Empire?

There was a reason for Mo Fei to think so, he remembered that Tianxiu had introduced him to the internal situation of Lordaeron's royal family, among which there were many players from the imperial faction, and Godwin was the leader of this faction.

Attacking allies directly will definitely lead to a sharp drop in prestige, and even a siege, even if Lordaeron is strong, it is impossible to pick a few, but if each country takes the initiative to withdraw from the alliance, everyone will go their own way, then Godwin's resistance to making another move will not be so great.

Moreover, if Lordaeron breaks each one, it can completely rely on national strength to achieve the effect of crushing.

But is he really that confident? Although Lordaeron is strong, but all countries are not vegetarians, if you really want to fight, even if you can't win, you can drag it out, if you don't see the situation right, team up to start a war with Lordaeron, then the war will definitely not end in a while, if the tribe kills out of the dark gate again at this time, then the alliance is not going to be in danger?

No, Godwin is definitely not the kind of iron-blooded and domineering style, he must have some kind of deeper plan.

Just as Mo Fei was guessing, the noise had gradually subsided, and although everyone was still shouting about their own contributions and difficulties, their eyes were all on Godwin.

The meaning is obvious, we're all making such a fuss, you have to give an explanation, do you want to cancel the plan altogether, or Lordaeron will take the lead? You don't want to be angry.

Ge Dewen suddenly sneered.

"Enough, look at your appearance, as the leader of the countries of the alliance, but you have no responsibility and responsibility at all, and you are arguing like a hooligan for power and money, so without an image, I am really disappointed."

These words suddenly made the leaders of the countries pale, and they all showed angry looks, although they were the leaders of the alliance, but everyone was a king, a prince, and at the last time, a big lord, who was afraid of whom.

Solan Lian's pretty eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a trace of anger appeared on her beautiful face, "Your Majesty Godwin, your accusation is unreasonable, the gold coins in our treasury are all taxes paid by the people, we must be responsible for the rights and interests of the people, naturally we can't waste them at will." ”

Godwin (King Lordaeron): "Hehe, what a big hat, who doesn't know that Silvermoon City, the capital of Quel'Thalas, is famous for its magnificence, and His Majesty's palace of Anastarian is even more luxurious, with diamond chandeliers and gold floors, and it is said that the cost of a royal palace is worth tens of millions.

I guess your people will be happy to do whatever it takes to add a golden tile to your king's feet, but not a single copper coin for the stability and tranquility of the Alliance. ”

Godwin said and looked at Torbairn again, "Your Majesty, how did you become king, I think everyone knows very well that the kingdom of Riptide Castle did pay a lot in the last war, but if it weren't for the alliance's army, your kingdom has already been razed to the ground by the orcs, would this kindness be enough to pay for the little food and grass you provided?" ”

"King Blaney, King Jean's death in battle is indeed heroic and fearless, he is not afraid to sacrifice his life in order to fight against the common enemy of the Alliance, but it seems that you are really a little far behind your father, not only do you not want to give your life for the Alliance, but you are not even willing to pay for gold coins, isn't it?"

Ge Dewen was stunned, and successfully made the faces of everyone present even more ugly.

Magni (King of Ironforge): "Godwin, how can you say that, hurting everyone's feelings so much will destroy the unity of the Alliance, what would King Tenaris think if he was still alive. ”

Before Godwin could speak, Blaney couldn't help but shout angrily.

"That's enough, anyway, Gilneth will never pay such an unreasonable burden, unless His Majesty Godwin abandons this plan, the Kingdom of Gilneth would rather withdraw from the alliance than pay such a large sum of money to feed a group of orcs who killed my father!"

What!

This shout immediately made everyone 'shocked'.

This surprise is somewhat of a performance component, but there is definitely true love in it, angry is angry, angry is angry, you don't have to leave the group at every turn.

Magni (King of Ironforge): "Don't be impulsive, Brianey, King Jean doesn't want to see that happen. ”

Sure enough, there is a ghost, Murphy thought in his heart, Blaney has a good relationship with Godwin, even if he doesn't support Godwin, he won't be the first to go against it, right?

There is a problem, there is definitely a problem.

Blaney (King Gilney): "Hmph, okay, let's not talk about quitting the alliance, I don't think it's better to vote directly, the alliance is not the alliance of Lordaeron, but the alliance of all kingdoms, all the intelligent races with justice in their hearts, if everyone decides to reject this plan, I don't think there is any need to implement it." ”

Godwin (King Lordaeron): "Okay, vote, vote, if the leaders really don't want to accept the plan, then I'm willing to accept the result, but if the plan passes, everyone must accept it too."

I don't think you're the kind of people who don't know what to do, so please consider my proposal carefully before making a decision. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at me, and I looked at you, and they were a little surprised.

Although the alliance is engaged in a system similar to the United Nations, it has never been based on the head of the people, after all, the power of each kingdom is strong and weak, and the population and territory are very different, so it is obviously unreasonable for you to let Lordaeron and Normorigen count both one vote.

Therefore, this kind of voting is very rare.

Generally, everyone discusses, persuades each other, seeks support, and generally forms a unified voice in the end.

It's still outrageous to have to vote like this.

The leaders of various countries calculated the gains and losses, and Solan Lian calculated the reaction of everyone before, and nodded first, "I agree, let it be decided by voting." ”

She easily figured out that the vast majority of people who were obviously opposed to this plan were in opposition, and Godwin's plan was too nonsense, if you want to blame him, he will be blamed for binding the orc detention center into it, and taking money to raise orcs This kind of thing, how can he accept it.

Everyone also expressed their opinions.

"Vote!"

"Vote!"

"Vote, but Alterac can only count one vote."

"Yes, that's right, and you have to decide who is going to vote."

Both Grab Root Treasure and Darkseid looked helpless, and both of them sat in the auditorium at the back, which could only point to Murphy together.

Murphy watched the same reaction from everyone, watching Godwin and Blaney look at the sabre-rattling, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"I don't think such an important decision should be decided by a vote, but should be made through long-term deliberation and discussion to determine its reasonableness and feasibility, and there is no need to rush it."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted several surprised glances.

They are all kings who oppose the plan, which means obviously, there are so many people who oppose it, and we have a great advantage in voting.

Solanlian glared at her, "Prince Aidan, do you know what you're doing?" ”

Murphy skimmed the Great Star Sorcer, "Of course I know what I'm doing, and do you know what you're doing—elves." ”

Magni suddenly interjected, "I think it's better to have a round of voting on whether to vote first." ”

This immediately drew a burst of laughter.

But it's an idea.

It turned out to be unanimously approved except for Murphy.

According to Archmage Dalaran Antonidas, this is the best way to reflect the fairness and equality of the nations within the Alliance.

Murphy sighed, and could only accept it.

Voting began quickly.

"I, the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, refuse to accept this plan." Solan Lian said proudly.

"I, the Riptide Kingdom, refuse to accept this plan." Tol Bain also chose to refuse.

"The Stormwind Kingdom supports His Majesty Godwin's plan." Not surprisingly, Lothar voted in favor.

"I, the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, support this plan." Prodmore said expressionlessly.

It was a surprise to Murphy that Kurtilas chose to support Godwin, as Kurtilas had the most fierce opposition in history.

But if you think about it, this result is both unexpected and reasonable.

Historically, the opposition was due to the death of Prince Drake as the crown prince, Admiral Prodmore had two sons, and the most important heir who died hated the orcs.

However, this time the orc war did not kill the prince of Kul Tiras, and Prodmore had several sons, even if he died three or five, he probably didn't care so much.

"Ironforge abstains." Magni Copperbeard said.

"Nomorigen abstained." The dwarf master craftsman, who had never had a sense of presence, also followed suit.

Dwarves and gnomes are neighbors, and they have always been as good as wearing a pair of pants, so it's not surprising that these two guys chose not to help each other, and Ironforge is not bad for money.

Murphy hurriedly glanced at King Magni, and said in his heart, "Why are you neutral, shouldn't you be opposed?" Your dwarven prince is still in my possession.

How do you know that the other party is spreading his hands, with a helpless expression, and he doesn't know what it means.

"Eagle's Nest refuses to accept this plan." Furstad was not accustomed to faults, and he was so jealous that he had no affection for orcs at all, and almost shouted out loud.

Dalaran supports the plan. Antonidas said unhurriedly.

Lordaeron also supports the plan. Godwin said, looking at Murphy, "Prince Aidan, what does Alterac say?" ”

Murphy looked at the crowd, and now there were four votes in favor, three against, and two abstentions—

Gilneth hasn't said anything yet, judging from Blaney's fierce reaction just now, he must be against it, that is, four against four.

If this is the case, it means that your vote will determine whether the plan is implemented or not.

But is that really going to happen? Ironforge's neutrality and Kurtiras's support made Murphy smell bad, and Godwin must have planned for this meeting, and he would not let it fail.

If the plan is really rejected, Godwin's reputation will undoubtedly be greatly damaged, is it true that he is unprepared?

He glanced at Blaney again, the previous aggressive fellow, but he didn't rush to say anything.

Mo Fei sighed in his heart, he could only do his best to obey the fate of heaven.

"Outlake's opposition to this plan."

Murphy said.

"Gilneth supports this plan." Blaney said triumphantly.

What!

Everyone reacted differently, but most of them were very surprised, especially Solan Lian, whose face was incredulous, and her mouth was wide open.

Mo Fei sighed secretly in his heart, he was really guessed by himself.

Godwin is singing a duet with Blaney, I'm afraid it hasn't been discussed a long time ago.

There are definitely PY deals with Ironforge and Stormwind.

Both Thorbain and Furstad were so angry that they said to themselves, you are a sixth child, and you are the happiest in singing the opposite tune just now, and you will be obedient to the people.

Solan Lian's face turned red with anger, his delicate face was almost distorted, and his long pointed ears trembled.

This plan elf is absolutely unacceptable, you must know that the cost of the plan is the highest level, which is three million gold coins.

Even if Quel'Salas had money, he couldn't waste it.

The Sun King would never accept such an agreement, but she also agreed to decide the arrangement according to the results of the vote.

Isn't that digging a hole for yourself?

However, at the thought of the Sun King's request before departure, Solan Lian calmed down again.

Nest grass! It's the end of the calf.

Both RootTreasure and Darkseid were shocked, so they had to pay for it.

The two of them hurriedly looked at Mo Fei, and they looked at each other.

You can't pay for it!

If it doesn't work, just leave the group!

Anyway, the five countries have all been co-governed, so simply withdraw from the alliance and form an Alterac alliance by yourself, and by the way, you can also pull several other opposition countries together.

Mo Fei felt the anxious eyes of the two, but he did not directly stand up and announce his withdrawal from the alliance, at this time, he could either accept the plan or have to withdraw from the alliance, but Alterac must not be the first to do such a thing.

It's easy to get out of the league, but it's hard to get back in.

If Godwin really wants to force countries to withdraw from the alliance as he guessed, and then crusade one by one, then he is most likely to attack Alterac.

Historically, Lordaeron successfully annexed Alterac, which has a small population and weak strength, and is next to Lordaeron, so it is the most suitable to do it.

It is good not to be able to return or not to return.

Other people probably think the same way, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't want to take a stand.

In the end, it was Solan Lian who was the first to stand up.

Solan Liane (Great Star Sorcerer): "I am disappointed that Quel'Thalas has suffered a great injustice today, and the Alliance has completely disrespected Quel'Thalas's wishes, in this case, I announce that Quel'Thallas will withdraw from the Alliance from today, and will no longer accept the command of the Alliance, and we Elves will go our own way." ”

Tolbane's eyes lit up and he stood up.

Thorbain (King of Riptide): "I also announce that the Kingdom of Riptide has withdrawn from the Alliance due to a huge disagreement over the handling of the orcs!" Since then, he has ceased to be under the leadership of the Alliance. ”

Furstad hesitated, but did not follow up, the strength of Eagle's Nest Mountain is relatively weak, and the surrounding troll tribes are at war all year round, and they are very much in need of the support of the big tree of the alliance.

Murphy didn't open his mouth either.

It's easy to break away from the alliance, but it's not so easy to join again, historically Gilneth and Silvermoon City broke away from the alliance, and later paid a huge price in order to rejoin.

Silvermoon City was completely isolated when it was attacked by the Scourge Legion, and was directly breached in the capital, and later wanted to return to the Alliance, but as a result, he was put in small shoes.

The Gilneth werewolf plague was also unable to get support from the Alliance, and later it was the old Jean who went to Varian for help with his face and reluctantly returned to the Alliance.

At this time, he looked at the representatives of the Torrent Castle Kingdom and the Elven Kingdom who left the table angrily.

Godwin didn't mean to hold back, but said with a serious face.

"I respect the choice of both countries, but may I remind both of you that once you withdraw from the alliance, there is no longer the protection of the alliance, and if your country is attacked or in crisis, the alliance will not have the responsibility to support you."

Solanlian (Great Star Sorcerer): "No, we elves can protect ourselves. ”

Torbain (King of Riptide): "That's right, the valiant men of Riptide are not afraid of any enemy threat. ”

After speaking, the two of them left their seats and left the conference hall.

Murphy looked at Godwin again, but the other party also happened to look at him, with a look of anticipation, as if waiting for him to withdraw from the alliance.

Murphy suddenly smiled.

Aidan (Prince Alterac): "Your Majesty, I think your plans need to be readjusted, now that the two kingdoms lack the financial support of the two kingdoms, the amount of gold that was planned is obviously no longer applicable to the current situation, and Alterac may not be able to cope due to the economic embarrassment caused by Lordaeron's economic blockade - although I am very keen to do my part for the Alliance.

Therefore, I propose that in the next few days we should carefully study the feasibility of this plan and the exact amount of gold to be collected. ”

Anyway, as long as there is talk, there is room for activity, and it is still unknown how many gold coins will be obtained.

Anyway, we in Alterac just don't have any money, what can you do?

Crying poor, it's all for life, not stumbling.

Ge Dewen listened to Murphy's words, and he was also a little helpless, if Alterac didn't quit the alliance, he really didn't have a problem, people just didn't have money, and they didn't say they couldn't help.

But fortunately, the plan has basically been implemented, and considering the combat effectiveness of the Dragonfall Knights, it is a good thing that Alterac stays.

Godwin (King Lordaeron): "Prince Aidan is right, in fact, I don't want to see such an outcome, I am very sorry that things have developed to this point, but fortunately we still have a chance to redeem it,

Why don't you split up my original plan.

1. Stormwind City reconstruction investment, countries provide funds as investment according to the scope of affordability, and wait until Stormwind City is rebuilt to repay it in ten years with national treasury revenue.

2. The Orc Alert Legion, which is formed by various countries, but if there is a lack of funds, they can provide troops and generals to help.

3. Orc Detention Center, in view of the anger at the atrocities committed by the Orcs, I think that perhaps it should not be funded by the States, so I have decided that in the matter of the Orc Detention Center, Lordaeron will be independently responsible, and all orc captives will be transported to Lordaeron for resettlement within the next month.

As a result, the amount of funding that countries need to commit to is significantly reduced.

Grasping Genbao and Darkseid breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, the funds for the reconstruction of Stormwind City are considered investments, which means that it is enough to invest one or two thousand, and it can be recovered anyway, and it is not a loss.

Orc Alert Legion, let's Alterac send troops, anyway, the standing forces of the five kingdoms are a bit too much now, and I can't afford to raise them, so sending them out a little can reduce maintenance costs.

The orc detention center is even cooler, and you don't have to pay a single gold coin.

In this way, it doesn't cost much at all.

After thinking about this, the two were greatly impressed by the fact that the elder brother did not withdraw from the alliance, but fortunately they did not retreat.

Naturally, other countries will not object.

And so the meeting ended.

[World Bulletin: In the year 1439 of the Age of the Firmament, as the disputes over power and duty within the alliance intensified, the rift between the countries of the alliance became apparent.

Resentment over the huge amount of money needed to build the Orc Detention Center and the Stormwind City reconstruction plan has sparked widespread anger in the kingdoms.

In the end, the Kingdom of Quel'Salas and the Kingdom of Fort Riptide chose to withdraw from the alliance.

The Kingdom of Quel'Salas was transformed from an official faction to a neutral force.

The kingdom of Riptide Castle has been transformed from an official faction to a neutral force.

Although the Kingdom of Alterac, the Kingdom of Gilneis, and the Dwarves of Eagle's Nest Mountain were also dissatisfied with this plan, out of trust and loyalty to the Alliance, Prince Aidan, Prince Blaney, and Prince Furstad still chose to stay in the Alliance and continue their mission.

But despite the success in saving the Alliance, centrifugal ideas within the Alliance were inevitable.

The event has been recorded with the Firmament Chronicles. 】
