Volume 2: The Road to Dragon Feast Chapter 130: The Truth of History
Sigelette and Dara Bengba followed closely behind.
The remaining large group of princes sighed and complained.
Teacher Ma: "What a tyrant!"
Ye Suifeng: "Father, you are not a king if you do this."
Victor: "Father, if you don't listen to my advice, the day of our country's demise is not far away."
God of War Lu Bu: "Fuck, brothers, let's stop wasting time with this old guy, let's all work together to clean up the emperor's entourage."
Aiden (King of Alterac): "How dare you, my son? - Guards!"
A group of royal guards rushed into the meeting room. When the princes saw them, they immediately sat back in their chairs.
Murphy didn't know that a tragedy almost happened in the conference room after he left.
He is currently studying the plot mission he received this time.
[Stormwind's Request for Help (Storm Quest)
Mission content: Go to Stormwind Kingdom to investigate the truth of the orc invasion and attend the alliance meeting.
Mission Reward: 1000 Plot Points. Unlock the next mission. 】
This is a great mission. As long as you arrive at the location and attend the meeting, you can get the 1,000 plot points for sure.
It can also
He walked silently, while Sigrit and Darabonba followed closely. They also received missions. Their roles in the storyline were "Deputy Envoy of Alterac". The reward was only 500 story points, but they were still very happy.
The three of them walked a long way away, and Sigret finally couldn't help it.
"Hey, bro, do you have any inside information?"
Murphy smiled slightly, "Inside information? Why do you ask ?"
"Why did my father entrust the mission to you? Why do you insist that the orc invasion is fake? He is too stupid."
Murphy shook his head. "It's not that King Aiden is too stupid, but that you are too honest. In politics, the truth is never important. Let me ask you, if the orcs invade on a large scale and the Alliance really forms a coalition, who will benefit the most?"
The two thought about it.
Dara Bengba said: "It must be the Storm Kingdom. The Storm Kingdom bears the brunt of the invasion of the orc army. It must hope to gather the strength of the alliance countries to deal with it together. In this way, the Storm Kingdom can protect itself as much as possible and reduce losses - ah, I understand.
What about the countries in the alliance? Of course, no one wants to work for Stormwind Kingdom for nothing, but due to the alliance agreement, they have to take action.
So the best way is to make this thing fake!"
Sieglet: "But this is true. How can it become false? And after the Storm Kingdom is defeated, won't they still have to form a coalition in the end?"
Murphy smiled slightly: "As long as there is a tacit understanding between the various forces in the alliance, the real thing can also become a fake. If the Storm Kingdom wins, it will be the best. If it loses, it will not be too late for everyone to form a coalition.
In fact, this matter does not require us to put in too much effort. The Kingdom of Lordaeron is the one that really wants to make this matter true and false. We only need to agree with the proposal of the Lordaeron ambassador at that time."
Sieglet was a little confused. "Why is this related to the Kingdom of Lordaeron again?"
Murphy patiently explained: "The coalition must be formed, but who will take the lead and who will be the leader is a matter of great importance.
Although there are many factions within the Alliance, the most powerful forces are undoubtedly the Stormwind Kingdom in the south and the Kingdom of Lordaeron in the north. In fact, the Kingdom of Lordaeron is slightly stronger, but it has a fatal weakness, which is the lack of development space. It is surrounded by allies and has no way to expand its territory. It cannot fight a civil war with the member states of the Alliance.
The Storm Kingdom, however, is located alone in the south. Its situation is a bit like the Qin State during the Spring and Autumn Period. It is surrounded by wild lands, trolls, gnolls, Dark Iron dwarves, and goblins. The Storm Kingdom has been constantly at war since its founding, becoming stronger and stronger, and its territory is getting larger and larger. Anyway, there are enemies all around, and the conquered territory is its own territory.
Although Stormwind Kingdom is still slightly weaker than the Kingdom of Lordaeron, if it continues to develop for decades or hundreds of years, once it has digested the surrounding territories and dominated the southern part of the continent, it will undoubtedly replace Lordaeron's dominant position.
This orc invasion is both a threat and an opportunity. If Stormwind Kingdom really organizes a coalition army and defeats the orcs, and then wipes out the surrounding wild monsters, then Stormwind Kingdom will be completely unstoppable. Who will be the leader of the Alliance? Is there any need to ask.
So when it comes to forming a coalition to fight against the orc invasion, Lordaeron is definitely the one who wants to mess it up the most. The ideal situation for them is that both the Storm Kingdom and the orc army suffer losses.
In this way, the leadership position of the Kingdom of Lordaeron will be basically unshakable. With Terenas' political skills, he will definitely not miss this opportunity.
It doesn't matter if Stormwind Kingdom is defeated. At that time, it will be just right for Lordaeron to form a coalition to fight against the orcs heading north. With the Kingdom of Lordaeron's strong military force, abundant resources, and powerful national strength, it will definitely serve as the main force , and it will almost be a natural thing for it to gain the status of leader.
So you understand, we in the Kingdom of Alterac just need to stand in the right line in this major event, don't try to be the first, and cooperate with Lordaeron. Afterwards, Lordaeron will naturally share the benefits with us."
Murphy's analysis shocked both Sieglet and Dara Bangba. There was such a thing. It was too dark.
Sieglet: "Ah, this is too..."
Aidan: "Dark? Haha, that's politics."
Dara Bangba: “But do other countries think so too?”
Aidan: "Of course, as long as the leaders of these countries are qualified politicians, they will definitely seek benefits for their own countries. It will not do them any good to aid Stormwind Kingdom at this time, but they cannot openly refuse to take responsibility. After all, the Alliance has a mutual assistance agreement. It is better for them to simply deny the invasion of orcs. Who can't pretend to be confused?
Come on, brothers, let's get going, the stage is ready, and we have a big show to perform."
The three of them came to the commander of the garrison outside the city, ready to dispatch troops. The journey to Stormwind City was not peaceful, so guards were still needed. Now no one would compete with them for high-level soldiers, so they could just open up the application.
Murphy directly applied for a full population of Knights of the North Wind.
He now has 70 command points and can lead 17 Knights of the North Wind (including Rachidanan). Together with Knight Roland, there are exactly 18 Knights.
Sieglet also brought Knights of the North Wind. His command had reached 120, so he could lead 30 Knights of the North Wind. And because Dara Bengba had the expertise of low maintenance cost, he brought a full force of Snow Mountain Rangers, more than fifty in total.
The three men brought more than a hundred cavalrymen, all riding white horses. Just looking at the formation gave off a murderous aura.
Murphy thought that this was what was called a "large army". Although there were only a hundred cavalrymen, they were all high-level soldiers, enough to defeat a thousand-man bandit rebel army. It could be considered a powerful army.
However, before setting off, Murphy still needs to make some preparations. This trip to Stormwind City will probably take a long time, so some arrangements must be made in the fiefdom.
