Volume 3 Kuroshio 30 Each has a ghost
- When did you become a soldier?
-Samuelson:......
- It turned out to be after the Battle of Hillsbrad...... Hmph, you're lucky enough to miss out on the toughest time.
-Samuelson:......
- No, no, no...... Some of the wars that followed were really tough, but the Battle of Hillsbrad was the hardest of all.
- You weren't on the battlefield at the time, you don't know how tragic it was. That battle will surely go down in history, it was an absolutely great, heroic battle, which not only completely changed the decline of the Allied army, but also united all the human nations, of course, this unity is not visible now. Hum...... But it doesn't matter......
-Samuelson:......
- The two years before the orcs set foot on Hillsbrad...... Tut......
-Samuelson:......
- Nothing, my memory is just a little blurry......
-Samuelson:......
- Those two years were purely delayed, completely delayed, completely!
- You are also a soldier, do you know how sad it is for a fighter plane to be mistaken by a general?
-Samuelson:......
-What do you mean...... How old are you?
-Samuelson:......
-Thirty-one...... Good age, promising. Were you originally a member of the Iron Horse Brotherhood? I can't remember.
-Samuelson:......
- The Iron Horse Brotherhood when you joined the army...... At that time, it was not called the Iron Horse Brotherhood, but the Storm Knights. Hum...... There were less than 200 people at the time...... How many batches are you?
-Samuelson:......
- The 6th Batch ...... Good. Sixth Batch ...... Do you know why you are in the sixth batch?
-Samuelson:......
- Yes, it was you who asked me. Spit!
- The first five groups were almost all killed in battle. So you're in the sixth batch.
-Samuelson:......
- I'm talking about the fact that once the opportunity for war is lost, it will never come again, and people cannot be resurrected after death, and this kind of pain is incomprehensible and unbearable for ordinary people.
-Samuelson:......
-Orcs shouldn't have been put in, Orcs shouldn't have breached Stormwind, King Ryan shouldn't have been assassinated, Orcs shouldn't have gone deep into the northern hinterland! Originally, the Kingdom of Stormwind shouldn't have been what it is now.
- Do you understand?
-Samuelson:......
-What is lost is the best, and what is most worthy of being remembered and cherished.
-Samuelson:......
- I'm not talking nonsense, lieutenant, what I'm talking about is what you want to know. Stormwind's return to the kingdom has been delayed.
-Samuelson:......
- Like you just said, is it...... Is there someone...... Is it deliberate? Ha!
-Samuelson:......
- Hehe, I don't know if it's anyone...... Deliberately...... Delayed, but the fighters were really delayed.
-Samuelson:......
- When I arrived in Lordaeron and told Lothar about my experience, I felt a little bit of a problem.
-Samuelson:......
- Lordaeron has not mentioned the matter of sending troops!
-Samuelson:......
-Hum...... Hum......
- What did Lordaeron think about the dispatch of troops at the time, you must personally ask His Majesty King Terenus Minahir II. And not me!
- Of course, you now want to ask what was going on in Lothar at that time, and I can send you there for free.
-Samuelson:......
- That's what I thought, I spent more than a month in Lordaeron eating and drinking, waiting every day for the movement of the northern army, but wait, wait, wait! When winter came, I still didn't hear that there was any intention of sending troops.
-I've also looked for Lothar, and I'm puzzled why this has been dragged on, but do you know what the Stormwind Kingdom says about you in the mouths of the northerners?
-Samuelson:......
- These affectionate adjectives probably haven't been heard of by King Varian, after all, there are more people inside the royal family than people outside.
-Samuelson:......
- Withdrawn, paranoid, selfish, eccentric. This is what the northerners say about the people of the Stormwind Kingdom.
-Samuelson:......
- You don't seem to care. Hum......
-You don't have to deal with them anymore, but all the people of Stormstorm who heard this comment at the time were probably indignant. At least it's uncomfortable.
- Ha, this can't be helped, who told your ancestors not to have good relations with the north?
-The first time he was upset by the North was King Lane's father, if I remember correctly, it was him, who has been closed off since his dynasty. The second time is His Majesty the First King Lane, ha! At that time, the kingdom of Stormwind was peaceful, tranquil and prosperous...... The most important thing is the remoteness. To a certain extent, there is really no great need to have any dealings with the north, but the reality is that once something happens, the north will stand by and watch.
- In the mouths of the northerners, we are all freaks, all southerners with strange tempers.
- Perhaps the bad impression is one of the reasons why they have not sent troops.
-Samuelson:......
- How do you feel when I say this? Are you a weird-tempered Southern Barbarian? Hahaha......
- Second, if the north sends troops...... For them...... What's in it for you?
- Lieutenant, can you tell me the answer to this question? What would you do if you were King Terenus?
-Samuelson:......
- Ha, it seems that you are not stupid! Yes, of course...... Watching......
- All are on the sidelines! I'm talking about the princes and nobles of the north.
-Samuelson:......
- Our nobles? Ha, of course they are in a hurry, some are in a hurry, some are very anxious.
-Samuelson:......
-Of course...... Some even wanted to commit suicide in despair at one point.
-Samuelson:......
-Advantage? Yes...... The benefits are all relative. Lieutenant, it's best for them to keep us for the time being.
-Samuelson:......
- Not cheap, certainly not cheap!
- How many ships fled to the north at that time? One hundred and ten? I haven't checked, and there won't be hundreds of them anyway. The large ships were more than 200 or more than 100 people, and the small ones were about 30 people. At that time, King's Harbor was not that big...... Right? It's a miracle that a few thousand people were able to escape the carnage of Stormwind and make it to the ship in time.
- You should have remembered it then, do you remember the scene?
-Hum...... How many people were there when you landed at Hillsbrad?
-Samuelson:......
- Anyway, when I arrived at the camp...... There may be a steady stream of arrivals, but there are camps of a few thousand people, which can top a large town. It costs all to eat and chew, but the northern nations would rather spend money to feed you...... Uh, let's go.
-Why?
- The money to feed these thousands is a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of going to war.
- We are refugees, refugees are in some way no different from people in the slums, and now that you are in a high position, will you still look at the people in the slums who are lying in the mud? Are you still ...... Do you treat them as human beings?
-Samuelson:......
- Ha, it seems that you are a good man, Lieutenant Samuelson, I am so touched to hear you say this, but...... If Lordaeron's thousands of people were crammed outside Stormwind to be fed, eating with their mouths open and shitting, it wouldn't be a day or two...... What would you think?
- Do you have poor relatives?
-Yes...... I remember you were from a middle-class family in Stormwind, huh......
- Say something unpleasant, in case...... I said just in case!
-In case the orcs really didn't fight, maybe ...... Most of the Stormwind people will become new immigrants to the kingdoms of Alterac or even Lordaeron, but ...... The status will be much lower than that of their people.
-Samuelson:......
- I'm still at best to say, do you agree with what I just said?
-Samuelson:......
-But I thought for the best. If I were Terenus or I were the king of Alterac, I would think that if these refugees really didn't leave...... Which piece of land should be given to them.
- Got it?
-Hum...... That's your land, are you willing to give it away to a group of strangers?
- This is the second reason.
- And the third reason, which I still know from Lothar, and later I also looked for my friends, but the news is that no one wants to take care of this matter, and the nobles of the north are too lazy to care, and they want to leave us alone...... Die...... Here's what they think.
- So it dragged on for more than four months! Where did you spend the Winter Veil that year?
-Samuelson:......
-Refugee camp...... Ha, refugee camp...... Gee.
-I lived in Lordaeron, and although I lived in a better environment than yours, the atmosphere around me was so oppressive that I would rather go back to my tent in the camp.
- Lothar and the others were invited into the royal palace to participate in the carnival of the Winter Veil Festival, the carnival ......
-Hehe...... Do you know how ironic this is? People are partying...... Family reunion, indulge in singing and dancing, but our country is dead!
- Home is gone! Nothing!
- Lothar was drunk that night and he was upset, that was the most I saw him drink.
-Samuelson:......
- When he returned to his quarters, he was already drunk, but in the company of me he drank several more pots and could not be persuaded to ...... That's one of the few times I've seen him swear once...... Ha, I'm all confused by him.
- He said to me: "Do you know how I feel now? ”
-I looked into his eyes, and I realized that he was actually old. In my heart he was a ...... Strong, sturdy, and not even feeling old at all, but I was surprised by this discovery that he was so silently old.
- I nodded and shook my head again. Maybe I was drunk, and I seemed to see the ...... in his eyes
-Tears.
- Lost country...... Brat. As far as you're concerned, what do you feel like about losing your country?
-Samuelson:......
-Sad? Ha......
- Confused? Still flustered? Are there any uneasiness? Or is the heart like a knife?
-Samuelson:......
-At that time, you were still young, and I guess you didn't experience this depression.
- But when I saw Lothar and the generals around me, I felt it...... Subjugation......
-Samuelson:......
- My hometown...... At...... At......
-Samuelson:......
- Nothing to be sorry for. Alterac is now completely dead, and I don't think anyone will be able to restore this shattered country anymore. Unless the world is completely restarted.
-Otherwise...... Hum...... The land was divided among them......
-Samuelson:......
-I thought that at such a time, maybe everyone's nostalgia for their hometown would make everyone's hearts think together, but I was wrong, this is the thought of people...... Tsk, I'm really unpredictable.
-Samuelson:......
- Are you a flatterer?
-Samuelson:......
- I ask if you are a flatterer, hehe.
-Samuelson:......
-You weren't outstanding when you hunted with Varian before.
-Samuelson:......
-Hum...... So how did you become a lieutenant? How did you capture Varian's heart?
-Samuelson:......
- For the time being, I believe that you are more introverted...... Compare...... Pragmatic. Ha, you can take on an errand like interrogating me.
-Samuelson:......
- Say the point of this? Are you pretending to be confused?
- Are there any flatterers around the king now? Are there any traitors? Villain?
-Samuelson:......
- How did the flattering villains, the traitors, stay with the king?
-Samuelson:......
-Hum...... These people can't do anything else, and they have a great ability to cater to higher magnates. They don't care if the country is dead or not, and they don't care if Varian or Terenus has the final say. They only look at today, today, who has the final say!
-Samuelson:......
- Who am I talking about? Now you look at which people in the court are bent on squeezing their heads and trying to compete for favor in front of the king, and he is.
