Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 593: Foot the bill

After Anduin finished talking about sending the bill, the Alliance commanders around him all smiled bitterly. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

What kind of business is this?

Why does it sound like all of us heroes who have been guarding the border for the Alliance have turned into profiteers?

But no one had any objection to this, because Lordaeron had indeed been unfair in the past two years. Ultimately, it was all because of Alterac.

Since the two sides had already fallen out, Lordaeron simply acquired and annexed the land of Alterac in official and unofficial forms.

The territory of the Barov family was confiscated by the 'Alliance'.

But when it came to how to distribute the confiscated territory, the wealthy Lordaeron chose to give monetary compensation to the surrounding countries, while keeping the land prices as low as possible and exerting various political pressures. As a result, the entire Alterac Mountains have now been renamed Lordaeron.

Only Strainbrad, Icewind Post, and Hillsbrad Foothills are nominally owned by the nobles of the Lordaeron Federation for the time being.

To everyone's surprise, Duke did not bother with Lordaeron much over the Alterac Mountains, and almost condoned Lordaeron's wrongdoings.

No one expected that retribution would come so soon.

Anduin pulled out a letter Duke had written long ago and read it.

"The Alliance Supreme Command notified the Kingdom of Lordaeron that the Horde army broke through the Dark Portal at 4 a.m. today and is attacking Nethergarde Fort, where the Alliance's Southern Legion is stationed. The Horde's offensive was fierce, and we fought back with heavy artillery. Within half an hour of the start of the battle, we had already wiped out more than 5,000 Horde members. In order to prevent the Horde's million-strong army from breaking through Nethergarde Fort and then taking a boat north from the Reed Coast of the Swamp of Sorrows to land on the Seawatch Cliff in the Hinterlands, we now request that your country fulfill its responsibilities as the Alliance's leader and allocate 5 million gold coins..."

A group of alliance commanders covered their mouths and laughed after hearing this.

Damn, is this a notice letter?

This is clearly a ransom letter!

Tell Lordaeron clearly that the battle has started here, and this place is too far from you. You can choose not to send troops, but you have to pay double the money. Otherwise, don't blame me for not having enough money to buy artillery shells.

Geographically, the Alliance was not weak at all. Even if Nethergarde was lost, there was a newly built Redridge Fortress on the Redridge Mountains, guarded by Llane, who led 70% of the Stormwind Kingdom's troops, plus Reginald Windsor's Duke's private army, a total of 120,000 troops.

Someone asked if the Horde would turn to attack Deadwind Pass?

Haha! The entire Deadwind Pass is within the attack range of Karazhan Mage Tower. In terms of magic defense capabilities, Karazhan is at the same level as Sunwell at this point in time, and even higher than Dalaran and Silvermoon City.

Therefore, the most likely reason for the fall of Nethergarde is that, as Anduin just thought, the Horde will cross the sea and attack the Hinterlands.

If this is true, who will kneel? Either Lordaeron or Quel'Thalas!

In fact, when Terenas was woken up late at night, he was very unhappy. But when he saw the orc limbs flying in the air in the magic mirror, he was silent for a long time.

That's right!

The Horde is here again.

Looking at the enemy situation judged by the tribal battle flag attached by Anduin, on which the names of nearly ten first-class tribal clans were clearly written, Terenas felt his stomach aching.

Knowing that it was Duke who was robbing, Terenas had no choice but to accept it.

Of course, the most infuriating thing is Duke's reminder: "We will definitely do our best to fight the Horde in Watchtower, but please be careful in Lordaeron. According to the information confessed by the Horde prisoners captured by the Alliance, the Alliance Command is sure that the Warsong Clan in Tirisfal Glades and the Frostwolf Clan (a first-class clan) who are likely lurking in the Alterac Mountains will respond to the Horde's offensive."

Seeing this, Terenas even wanted to jump into Lake Lordamere.

Damn, it's a Warsong Clan that I haven't been able to wipe out completely even after two years of efforts. It's already enough of a headache for me.

Where did this first-class Frostwolf clan come from?

When was this information released?

Even if you kill Terenas, he won't believe it. This is the information I just learned.

No need to ask, it is obvious that Duke knew it all along, but he didn't say anything when Lordaeron swallowed the Alterac Mountains, and only revealed it when the Horde launched a large-scale attack.

Well, there are two first-rate clans in the Horde in our own backyard, even if they are half-crippled, when the Horde's army arrives, one will cooperate with the other, and Lordaeron will be destroyed, right?

Is this a ransom note from the Front?

No!

This is a third-level ransom letter!

Terenas slapped the armrest of his throne three times with all his strength! Even the ministers under the throne stairs could feel the vibration.

His confidant, Duke Chamas, whispered: "We must pay this military expenditure, and we cannot just pay it according to the amount."

"Yes! Pass my order to double the amount and give it directly to the Alliance headquarters. Use the Lordaeron treasury first, and then whoever took the land of Alterac will share it according to their share."

Double that is 10 million gold coins.

Even Duke Chamas, who was used to big scenes, couldn't help but grit his teeth and feel pain when he heard it.

They didn't believe that Duke would give up the Watchtower that they had spent so much effort to build, but they in Lordaeron couldn't afford to take the risk.

In fact, Duke didn't really ask for much, 10 million gold coins.

In order to upgrade technology, the Bronzebeard dwarves, as the main supplier of raw materials and workers, actually sold everything they had. If they didn't build Nethergarde and Redridge Fortress, the first ones to kneel would be Stormwind Kingdom and Khaz Modan. Duke was a kind person. Since the Bronzebeard dwarves supported Stormwind Kingdom so firmly, how could Duke let Magni suffer?

Less than five minutes after the news that Lordaeron promised to pay 10 million came, Duke sent Magni a 200-page arms purchase order worth 5 million gold coins. You know, as a fulfillment of the responsibilities of an ally, the cannons, ammunition, soldiers and workers provided by Ironforge before were all free.

Now in this order, Duke simply doubled the cost price that Magni told Duke, and then added a zero before the decimal point to purchase it.

In the end, Magni was kind-hearted, or maybe he made too much money and felt too shameless, so he waved his hand and said, "For the sake of the Alliance, I'll give you a 50% discount."

Over there, the Horde had no idea that such an exciting game was taking place within the Alliance.

the Horde's vanguard was almost scared to death.

In panic, Ner'zhul wanted to run back, but was grabbed by the Death Knight Teron Bloodseeker!

"Idiot! Calm down! It's too late! The Dark Portal has been opened, and we have angered the Alliance. If we go back like this, the Alliance will just rush into our world and kill us all. It's important to complete the mission first."

"Mission!? Do we still have hope?"

"Yes! I am your hope!" A sudden voice interrupted, and it was in the strange-pronounced Orcish language. Following the direction of the voice, Ner'zhul saw a human with a stern face standing among the death knights near him.
