Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 255: Sunk
Chapter 255 - Sunk
Magic is a magical thing. It has an extremely unscientific side, but also has certain fixed rules that show its supernatural side.
When Duke combined the elements of fire, frost and arcane into a ball of energy, Lothar looked at Duke as if he were a walking bomb.
After being repeatedly subjected to the "King's Contempt" by Llane, Duke gave up on treatment.
March is the month of spring when flowers are blooming.
This was also the three-month anniversary of Duke losing his maid. Well, Duke went to Karazhan and left Vanessa in Southshore. Then, Vanessa, who felt that she was a little bit of a help, got angry and went to a thieves' holy land to practice.
That's right, it was Ravenholdt Manor in the northeast of Hillsbrad Foothills. Although the maid left a note saying that she was training somewhere in the area, Duke immediately thought it was here. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
In theory, recruiting a team of spies would be quite useful. Unfortunately, in the next period of time, it is really useless, and Duke is busy, so he has not taken care of it for the time being.
In March, the Horde will make a big move. VanCleef and Stoutman, who have spent the entire fall and winter to take root in the western wilderness, wrote to ask when to start.
Duke's order was: wait until the main force of the Horde leaves the southern continent first.
The main force of the Horde could not stay in the southern continent for a long time. If it were a human king, he might be satisfied with occupying such a vast piece of land. Unfortunately, that was a tribe, and the orcs' aggressiveness would not allow them to stay where they were.
The midwinter is over, and the troops that fought in the battle of Southshore last year gathered in Southshore again.
However, Lothar was furious and rushed to Lordaeron again to vent his anger on King Terenas.
The reason is very simple. At this time, the three countries of Lordaeron, Dalaran and Alterac actually refused to enter a state of full-scale war.
"What do you mean? Do you really think that we can wipe out a million orcs with just these few people now? Even if we leave out the hard laborers with poor combat effectiveness, and even if the elite troops of the Horde are already decreasing, the total strength of the Horde is still nearly 500,000!" Lothar slammed the table fiercely.
Faced with Lothar's anger, Menethil II was helpless.
"My harbinger has been sent out. But most of my lords choose to fulfill their obligations with money. So, you can ask for money, but I can't give you more soldiers. Sorry, Lord Commander Lothar."
This is the peculiarity of the feudal knight system. The subjects are the private property of the lord, and the lord is subject to the king. However, the king has no right to directly requisition the subjects of the lord without a legitimate reason.
The tradition left in the Arathor Empire is that unless it is a formal foreign invasion aimed at occupying land or its own territory is attacked, each lord has the right to choose to respond to the king's conscription order in exchange for money and materials.
If Terenas were to mobilize too many soldiers from the directly governed territories, it would cause a chain reaction such as the lord being weak and the ministers being strong.
Lothar was almost mad with anger and turned to ask Antonidas.
The Speaker of Dalaran was also complaining: "Something happened in Dalaran. A group of neutral mages who were blind and didn't know the general situation of the world protested against Dalaran's excessive involvement in the war. They thought that as long as Dalaran was fine, they could stay out of it. Then, taking advantage of the accident of one of our councilors, they held a protest and demanded parliamentary re-election and a series of reforLady"
Lothar was so angry that he almost pulled out his hair, and finally turned his eyes to King Aiden of Alterac.
"Alterac is a small country, and recruiting one more infantry regiment is already the limit. If we recruit more, half of our people will starve to death in winter, even without the orcs attacking. Well, it's because a certain deputy commander bought the food of our Barov family."
At this moment, Lothar wanted to kill Aiden. He used the excuse that the country was weak and that all the food was given to the Stormwind Citizens to directly shirk responsibility.
In the final analysis, the three families saw that Stromgarde was holding the Thandor Bridge in the east, Stormwind refugees were holding Southshore in the middle, and the Kul Tiras navy was protecting the west. These short-sighted nobles and mages thought that if anyone was going to die, it would be foreigners, and it had nothing to do with them.
The evil nature of human beings is fully revealed at this moment.
Lothar was almost out of anger!
His roar almost echoed throughout the entire Lordaeron Palace.
"Tell those damn nobles and idiot mages who think they are safe. The Horde's military strength is three times that of the Alliance! The orcs' individual combat capability is also three times that of humans! Once our coastal defense is breached, every human will pay the price in blood for your three kingdoms' refusal to enter a state of all-out war! Money! Money! Money! What's the point of having money! You're still talking about money even if you've lost your head!"
Aiden muttered, "If the defense line is breached, it must be because someone didn't try hard enough."
King Daelin spat fiercely on the ground. "Bah! Ever since the siege of Stormwind last year, the entire Kul Tiras shipyard has been building ships in three shifts 24 hours a day. I spent every penny in the treasury to build more shipyards and trained every Kul Tiran fisherman to become a sailor. Now I wish the orcs would take a hundred goblin airships to your Alterac Palace and have a human meat barbecue party in your palace courtyard."
After saying that, Daelin kicked open the door of the conference room and left without looking back, leaving Aiden, whose face turned pale, roaring in frustration in the conference room.
On this day, the kings of the four kingdoms, including Stormwind, which had already entered a state of total war, parted ways unhappily with the heads of the three kingdoms who were only willing to enter a state of local war.
If it weren't for the major event on March 15, this might have been a sign of the alliance's split.
This day was the day when the Kul Tiras Third Fleet cruised the waters off the Palatine Gulf.
The lookout suddenly saw something unusual. Countless blood-red sails suddenly appeared on the horizon.
The lookout sounded the alarm!
"Dang, dang, dang!" The shrill alarm bells alarmed the entire fleet.
"What the hell!? Why are the Bloodsail Pirates here?" Major General Akent, commander of the Third Fleet, cursed angrily.
However, some other things he saw through the telescope made him shudder.
Boat!
More than a dozen huge warships!
It was definitely a battleship-class ship, but it had a completely different shape from human ships. Apart from the few sails, the entire ship had no aesthetic appeal, and simply looked like a huge pile of garbage floating on the sea, made up of countless messy wooden products.
However, the cannons installed on those warships clearly told the major general that these were all warships! And they were orc warships!
"Commander! Please give instructions!" the first mate shouted anxiously.
Other ships also sent out inquiring flags.
"Who does the Kul Tiran navy fear on the sea? Raise the flag! Fight back!"
A day later, the entire Alliance learned of the destruction of the Kul Tiran Third Fleet.
All nations are shocked!
