Chapter 349: Iron Tree Fort wants to buy weapons
Let David choose, it must be a quiet farming to recuperate, and wait until the strength of the Lordaeron Kingdom has recovered enough before considering an expedition to Northrend.
It's not that he loves peace, but he simply feels that it is difficult to really achieve the goal of sending troops recklessly if he does not hold back his strength enough to destroy the enemy in waves.
"However, the Lich King's threat to Azeroth is too great to stay there forever."
David understands that the situation is different and that decisions must be made based on the circumstances.
The Lich King's threat to Lordaeron is not at the same level as the Tilan Kingdom, Temple, etc. on his side, and he has been staying in Northrend, and he doesn't know what else will happen.
At that time, Fording will have no 'plot' advantage to rely on, and the two sides will return to the reciprocal situation to play the game, and perhaps a crisis beyond the expected will erupt.
“……”
Fording didn't interject and waited quietly for David's follow-up, but after waiting for a while, David didn't continue.
"Finished?"
What does this seem to say, and what does it seem like nothing is said?
Furding looked at David speechlessly, although he knows that you are already a mature lord, but you don't want to follow those politicians to play with mud!
"Ahem~ Actually, I want to say that under normal circumstances, I would choose to recuperate and recuperate to restore the kingdom to its prosperity; However, this time the enemy is in a special situation, so it is better to destroy it as soon as possible. ”
In other words, when faced with the problem of the Lich King, David supported Lordaeron in an expedition with his allies.
"Indeed, the Lich King's existence is too dangerous."
Not only will the Lich King Neozu lure the Burning Legion to Azeroth, but there is also a conspiracy in the Shadow Realm behind it, and in either case, getting rid of the Lich King as soon as possible is the right choice.
Fording had already made up his mind in his heart, and when he returned, he tried his best to convince those who opposed the expedition, and after being reminded by David, he also thought of a suitable reason: if the Lich King was not destroyed, it would be impossible for the undead scourge in Lordaeron's territory to be completely eliminated, because the Lich King hiding in Northrend was the root of all natural disasters.
Only by completely destroying the Lich King can the kingdom of Lordaeron truly begin to recuperate and return to its original prosperous and powerful state.
"If you need help, don't hesitate to mention it."
"I'm not going to be polite to you."
Fordin was calculating the forces that could be mobilized, and in addition to Lordaeron's army, Quel'Thalas and Dalaran would definitely help, after all, the damage caused by the Scourge Legion also affected these two forces.
Ironforge is one of the Kingdom's staunchest allies, and this expedition will still give them plenty of support.
Otherwise, perhaps you can call out Kurtiras, and if Kurtiras's fleet helps, the expedition to Northrend will be much easier.
If he could, Fordin wanted to contact the Night Elves and get them to join the coalition as well, but it was a bit difficult to do so.
As for Stormwind City far to the south, he initially counted on Stormwind City to give material support, after all, Lordaeron is in ruins, and many places are unable to cultivate food due to pollution, and Stormwind Kingdom has a large area of fertile land, so there should be no shortage of food.
Especially since he helped the Stormwind Kingdom clean up the huge trouble of Onexia a few years ago, after so many years, the Stormwind Kingdom should recover, right?
As a result, I met Varian not long ago and learned that the situation in the Stormwind Kingdom has not improved much at all, and it is still full of a large number of problems, and various hidden dangers have made Varian-Ureon, the king, start to lose his hair.
In this case, the expedition to Northrend does not seem to be counting on the Stormwind Kingdom.
In addition, the ally that Fordin can find is Winterfell, and when the battle situation is unfavorable or stalemate, Fording can come to Winterfell to call a group of reinforcements.
Whether it's the Winter Knights, Spartan hoplites, or Cybertron warriors, it's a great choice to upset the balance of battle.
Not to mention the Duke of David Glamorgan, the 'embodiment of the Light'.
"I'll go back first, remember not to forget to attend the ceremony."
"Don't worry, you won't forget."
David casually handed the invitation to Eva, who was called in by him, and Eva recorded the matter directly in the work schedule after checking the date, and notified David to prepare two days before the ceremony, and arranged David's itinerary in advance to ensure that David would not have anything else to do in those days.
Seeing this, Fordin was relieved and prepared to find his son Tyran, and let Tyran take him around Winterfell, and when the time was almost up, he would go straight back to Azeroth.
"I won't come to say goodbye to you when the time comes."
"You don't have to do all these false courtesies, you can just do whatever you want."
Waving goodbye to Old Fording, David looked at Eva.
"Has anyone come looking for me?"
Eva didn't leave after recording the incident, proving that she had other things to report, and most of the time someone came looking for him out of the blue.
"It's Viscount Maloney Mansfield."
"Viscount?"
"Well, old Mansfield died not long ago, and Maloney Mansfield inherited the title."
Maloney Mansfield is an old acquaintance of David, and when they first met at Irontree, this Maloney Mansfield was only an inspector at Irontree.
At that time, David only knew that Maloney Mansfield was of aristocratic origin, and later learned that he did not have a knighthood.
But now his identity is different, and his own ability is good, and now after inheriting his father's title, he has become a more important figure in Iron Tree Castle.
At the same time, Maloney Mansfield is also the liaison between Irontree and Winterfell, and Marquis Dudley Morgan, Lord of Irontree, has always sent Maloney Mansfield back and forth between the two places to maintain relations with Winterfell.
"In addition to Viscount Maloney Mansfield, Earl Sutton Stewart is also out there."
"Huh? How did he get here? ”
After arriving in Winterfell from White Rock, Earl Sutton-Stewart quietly recuperated for a while, and then, like most of the nobles of Tiran, began to look for a favorite place in Winterfell and build his own mansion.
In addition, David went to the Marvel Universe a while ago, and I don't know the recent situation of this Sutton Stewart.
"I said I wanted to catch up with you."
"......" David decided to meet Maloney first, this person usually came to Winterfell on business, and the meeting with Sutton could be a little later: "What about Sophia?" ”
"Talking to Belfast." Belfast came to Winterfell, or rather settled at Fort Glamorgan, and began to learn all sorts of things.
The main thing is the various lifestyles and eating habits of the people living in Glamorganburg, as well as the situation and skills of all the maids in Glamorganburg.
At present, Belfast has written down all kinds of information, and has well coordinated and arranged the housekeeping work in Fort Glamorgan, even if she did not use any strong means, she still successfully became a housekeeper in the substantive sense.
"Let Sophia go and entertain her uncle first, and I'll talk to Viscount Maloney-Mansfield first."
"Okay!"
Eva turned and walked out of the office, followed by Viscount Maloney Mansfield.
The aristocratic officials who had to be polite to David were now greeted by a courtesy, but Maloney Mansfield showed no dissatisfaction, and his manners were flawless.
When he explained his purpose for coming to Winterfell he understood why Maloney was so respectful.
Irontree Fort has been at war with the elves of the Irontree Forest recently, and the long-term war has caused the loss of Irontree Fort to be very serious, not only the soldiers have suffered heavy losses, the reserve source cannot be replenished, and the loss of weapons is also very serious.
So, Irontree wants to buy a batch of weapons from Winterfall.
"Buying weapons?"
"Yes."
"I'm afraid this won't be easy, Winterfell is reorganizing its army, and we don't have enough weapons to produce at the moment." David wasn't fooling Maloney, Winterfell didn't have enough weapons, and even if the whole army was reequipped, it was necessary to continue production and maintain a certain inventory to ensure that there were enough reserve resources.
In this way, whether it is a temporary expansion of the army or the replacement of damaged equipment, the sufficiency of front-line weapons can be ensured in the first place.
"Besides, I'm afraid that Irontree Castle can't use Winterfell's weapons and equipment, right?"
Maloney was still a little regretful, but when she heard this, she realized that the other party had misunderstood: "No, I'm not talking about the Winter Knights' Blizzard Power Armor and Piccolo Assault Rifles, but the training equipment of Winterfell." ”
"Training gear?" David realized that Winterfell's training equipment was actually the kind used before, light armor and cold weapons infused with crystal powder, which was what Irontree Castle wanted to buy?
"And the Garand rifle."
Maloney Mansfield has traveled back and forth between the two cities many times, and has lived in Winterfell for a while, so she knows a thing or two about what is going on in Winterfell.
Blizzard Power Armor, Piccolo Assault Rifle, Garand Rifle are not secrets in the first place, and you can know them with a little inquiry.
David looked at Maloney Stanfield in front of him, and he understood that the other party's real intention was actually the Garand rifle, and the armor, long sword, and spear were probably smoke grenades.
As for power armor and piccolo assault rifles? If you have a normal brain, you know that this thing can't be bought at all.
So the question arises, can the Garand rifle be sold?
David thought about it, this matter had to be discussed with his subordinates, if he wanted to sell, his original plan to maintain the current production line might have to be changed.
Maloney's failure to urge, and the fact that Duke David Glamorgan did not directly refuse, is a good sign that proves that this matter is not unspoken.
As long as a batch of Garand rifles can be procured, the loss of a large number of strong archers in Iron Tree Fort can be compensated for in the shortest possible time.
After all, it is much easier to train a gunner than a strong archer!
