Anomaly Of Warcraft

(Two in one chapter)

Stratholme, as the most important and largest city in the north of the human world, is like the jewel of the Yamanaka group.

According to the architecture in modern urban planning, Stratholme’s location is very unreasonable. It is neither a transportation hub nor a regional radiating center. With inconvenient logistics and narrow development prospects, it is completely unable to play a leading role in driving local economic development.

But yeah, if you want to be watched by aliens, avengers, cult organizations, ancient remnants, and the Destiny of the world every day, guarding the world of Azeroth, just let modern urban planning and architecture go to the side. Well, to build a city, being able to resist beating is the first priority.

When he came to Stratholme before, Carlos was just a little baron. He had no qualifications and no position to care about the city defense of Stratholme, so he happily traveled with his sister Ilucia to explore the city. The style is gone.

Now, as the rescuer who moved from the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Carlos can say with certainty that Terenas was smashed.

His Majesty Terenas Menethil II, king of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, was pitted.

The strongest human kingdom in Lordaeron, the wise and wise king Terenas Menethil II of the Kingdom of Lordaeron was pitted by his own people.

Are you kidding me?

Carlos saw more than two thousand soldiers in Stratholme with bright armor and glamorous robes at the grand welcoming ceremony. Now is the slack season for farming. Let’s take a look at those civilians who follow their army northward looking for opportunities to make money, and look at the wealthy villages that have surplus food along the way.

Carlos felt that Stratholme could arm an army of 10,000 people only by the accumulation of Stratholme and Dahlone.

Although there is a big gap between recruits and veterans, peasants and professional soldiers, as long as you follow the rules of building walls, accumulating food,

The policy, why can't the Zuaman troll in the north go south?

What's more, there are no professional soldiers in Stratholme?

You are so thankless, beg me, beg our Alterac Legion to go north, what the hell is it?

A grand welcome ceremony, a sumptuous dinner, and a young and beautiful maid.

Carlos is a paladin, not a vindicator, and he has not restrained his soldiers. Let them relax. He stayed in the meeting place and chatted with the great nobles in Stratholme, talking official black words.

The local nobleman of Stratholme: "Praise the great King of Alterac, the handsome, majestic and majestic Carlos Barov. Praise the bright, majestic, wise and benevolent Terenas Menethil II Your Majesty, for the long-standing traditional friendship between the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Alterac, let us do this cup!"

(What I said are all polite words, let me make it clear first, you and the boss of the Sajia family are on the same level. I will set the tone first. Don’t make too much of your young man’s terms.)

Carlos: "At the invitation of the bright, great, wise and benevolent, His Majesty Terenas Menethil II, this king will come to help every night, lest you miss the lives of all of you. You are all from the Alliance Gancheng, the Kingdom of Lordaeron. The pillars of the country. Today is here as scheduled. Fortunately, fortunately."

(It’s your boss who asked this king to come, okay, you beg me, I’m here to save your dog’s life. Everyone is a person with status and status, you are all people who are in the league, you yourself See it.)

Ahahahahahahaha...

After the laughter at the scene, continued nonsense.

Local nobleman of Stratholme City: "The trolls in the north are arrogant and the local defense is slack. Fortunately, His Majesty King Carlos rushed to help, but the Stratholme area is safe, and the alliance is fortunate."

(Whether you believe it or not, anyway, our Stratholme defense is lax. His Majesty Terenas believes in this matter. Our Stratholme has nothing to do with the trolls. Everyone believes. Everyone is a member of the alliance. You believe in King Card too.)

Carlos: "The country is in chaos, and the tribes are raging. Fortunately, Marshal Anduin Lothar raised the flag of righteousness, and the seven nations are united against the orcs. Naturally, this king should also contribute his efforts to the alliance."

Ah ha ha ha ha ha……

Don't say anything after you laugh, and have another drink.

Everyone knows that these official black words are meaningless, but even if they go through formalities, they are still inevitable.One night’s conversation, I encountered embarrassment, everyone, hahaha, reached a tacit understanding, everyone, hahaha, decided to skip the topic, everyone, hahaha, some words were really brilliant, everyone, hahaha, and finally wanted to end, everyone, hahahahahaha.

A well-known human behavior researcher and adolescent autism expert-level scholar Shinji Ikura once suggested this to a young girl with facial nerve necrosis: If you don't know what expressions to face different people with, just smile.

Carlos felt that what he said was really incisive, hahaha one night, and finally got a little bit of his head. Fortunately, his advanced diplomatic rhetoric skills were advanced, otherwise he might have missed the information hidden between the lines.

Once, Carlos had the idea that Alterac was intriguing, it was really a dirty country. When I was young, I even had the idea of ​​going to the Kingdom of Lordaeron to develop. When I get older and see more, Carlos is not calm.

Whether Alterac, Gilneas, Lordaeron or Kul Tiras, they are all a bird. The king asked for fame and stability, the nobles asked for fame and wealth, and the people asked for three meals to keep warm. There are no lofty ideals, no great beliefs, the human race is all vulgar, vulgar.

At that time, Carlos was in confusion and did not get in for two consecutive days. When he was hungry, his body began to rebel, and Carlos suddenly realized that there is something wrong with vulgarity? That's right! Even material security can't be satisfied. Talk about the fullness of the spiritual world.

Since then, Carlos has untied a knot and no longer entangled with mental cleanliness. Don't worry about whether the process is correct or not, and make sure that the result is good. Just because selfishness is the norm, generosity is too high for morality.

With this understanding, Carlos had a more reliable speculation after referring to the conversation in the evening.

All the nobles in Stratholme united to deceive, or misled their king, Terenas.

First of all, some knowledge of popular science is needed.

The Kingdom of Lordaeron is composed of many nobles, large and small. Some of these nobles are the nobles of the Arathor Empire, some are the first-class citizens of the year, and some are the new nobles canonized by the Menethil family. The entire Kingdom of Lordaeron is composed of these complex guys to form the upper ruling class.

For example, a large area of ​​land near the Silver Pine Forest in Lordaeron is the territory of the Menethil family, and the royal family of Lordaeron has absolute control.

For example, Fireplace, which is also known as the Western Plaguelands. Except for Andorhal, a town authorized by Terenas, the other lands belonged to the pioneers of the Arathor Empire. These guys just chose to join. It's the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

Another example is Stratholme, where the composition is complicated. But in general it can still be considered a possession of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

When you understand this, you will find that within the huge Kingdom of Lordaeron, there are both princes and franchise members, that is, there are appointed officials of the county system, and there are local snake forces who listen and do not listen.

Obviously, the various forces in Stratholme were unwilling to deal with the threat from the trolls alone, so they exaggerated and reported the situation to King Terenas and Alliance Commander Anduin Lothar.

In the Hillblad hilly area in the south, the alliance’s main forces are struggling to fight. The Stratholme area, which is the main food production area, is particularly important. Terenas and Lothar dared not mess up the alliance's backyard. If the Stratholme area is in chaos, the alliance’s stalemate strategy in the Hillbrad Hills will basically go bankrupt.

Because just relying on the food production of Fireplace and Silver Pine Forest can not meet the needs of human beings.

Therefore, Terenas would rather suffer a loss, but also invite Carlos to go northward to suppress the threat of the troll in the cradle stage.

"This dirty and beautiful world." Carlos couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"En? What are you feeling suddenly?" Turalyon asked inexplicably from the side.

"When you grow up, you will understand when you become a nobleman." Carlos looked at Turalyon with a child's eyes.

"Hey, are you reminding me that I should call you His Majesty the King?" Turalyon asked dissatisfiedly.

"Please don't. Worship and fear are the emotions that are the furthest away from understanding. Teacher Saidan Dathrohan has already knelt down under the power, and your Majesty shut your mouth. I have very few friends now. Don't disgust me. "Carlos felt it.

Turalyon immediately became happy when he heard Carlos say this. A king personally admitted that he has not many friends, you count one, this is an incredible honor.

"Carlos, you tell me that you said a lot of high-sounding clichés one night, I don't know what to say." Turalyon pleaded bitterly.

"It's finished, the rest is the details." Carlos said.

"what!?"

"We worked hard, they paid for food and supplies, and the bottom line is Stratholme is not broken. If Dahlone County can keep it safe, thank you very much." Carlos explained.

"You didn't tease me? Your Majesty Terenas conscripted several times. They were all male recruits from Lordaeron and Hearthglen. The number of conscripts in Stratholme is not large. They can be armed at any time if they wish. A big army, just holding Stratholme?" As Lothar's adjutant, Turalyon knew a lot of inside information about the alliance, and was stunned by Carlos' words.

"Is it weird?"

"strangeness."

"The Stratholme area is a county system."

"do not know."

"The garrison is the regular army that your Majesty Terenas pays."

"Then what."

"After the Battle of Hillblad started, did Stratholme send 5,000 troops to the frontal battlefield?"

"Yes, after the incident, Your Majesty Terenas seemed to ask for at least 7,000 troops in Stratholme. But then less than 5,000 people came in pieces. Marshal Lothar was very upset about this. "

"Don't you understand?"

"I don't understand, hurry up."

No longer selling off, Carlos said his answer.

"The Stratholmes ate empty money."

"Huh? What!"

"You keep your voice down."

"Eating empty salaries? What do you mean!"

"Earlier, Stratholme had a regular army. Then they moved away. They recruited soldiers, and they also recruited farmers. Then, when they train new soldiers, they have no training at all. Now the entire Stratholme is estimated to be The two thousand guards of honor we saw today are ready for war."

"..."

Turalyon's mouth opened and closed, opened and closed, trying to say something but feeling speechless.

"Only the two thousand people I met today, only the one thousand people in the front row are like that. The guys standing behind are all rookies who have just put down their hoes. If it weren’t for the good eyesight, seeing this, I wouldn’t be tonight either. The Lions speak loudly." Carlos couldn't help groaning.

"How did you tell?" Turalyon asked puzzledly.

"Remember how long we spent watching the troops?" Carlos asked persuasively.

"Less than ten minutes." Turalyon recalled, and said not quite sure.

"Any guy who has participated in a queue training, who will not be lazy and save effort. A guy who can't even maintain ten minutes of ceremonies, can you tell me what a rookie is?" Carlos pushed his non-existent eyes, "The truth is only One, it's not that the nobles of Stratholme are greedy for life and fear of death, but that they are making up for their short-sightedness before."

Turalyon finished listening, thought about it, and understood.

Trolls have been suppressed by high elves all the year round, and have long since become a climate. Although the Alliance was fighting bloody battles with the tribes in the Hillbrad Hills area, Stratholme area, like a large rear, was still a peaceful place for singing and dancing, and the gang of nobles had no real sense of war at all. Before catching up with the busy farming season, in order to grab the harvest, the large Stratholme area delayed the alliance for three months to replenish the force of two thousand people. I'm afraid I will finish the training for two months in a couple of months, and then go to the battlefield.

Afterwards, the nobles enjoyed the compensation that Terenas gave after the enlistment, thinking that since I am the rear, why should I continue to train the army in a hurry? Now that the alliance is at war, the cost of training soldiers is much more expensive than in peacetime, so take your time.

If you think about it this way, everything can be explained, including Marshal Lothar’s strange instructions not to argue with Carroche, including Carlos’s long journey along the way, including the first time the troops were stuck in the pass. The decision, including the doubts about the sporadic trolls traveling southward, that no one cleared away.

Not to mention the problem of the large Stratholme area relying only on militias for defense. It is said that such a large Stratholme city is actually defended by only two thousand soldiers. It is estimated that there will be no one after the guards of the city wall are arranged.

"I will report this to Marshal Lothar truthfully." Turalyon said with a cold face after listening.

"You will die miserably." Carlos said indifferently, resting his chin in his hand.

"They dare to hurt me? Hurt a Paladin? Hurt the only adjutant of the Alliance Grand Marshal Lothar? This is Stratholme. Don’t forget, the headquarters of our Silver Hand Paladins is in Stratholme. The church!" Turalyon seemed to have heard some big joke, his words excited and his expression fierce.

"Where do you want to go, they are still waiting for us to be the savior, how could they kill you? I mean you will be scolded to death by Marshal Lothar if you go to them to file a complaint. Such a dead mage is very miserable." Carlos explained road."Aha!?" Turalyon didn't believe it.

"You know, Turalyon, after becoming a king, I discovered something."

"you say."

"Accounting for responsibility is something that should be done after victory or defeat."

"You're right."

"What you said is correct, but you didn't think about it."

"..."

Turalyon found himself caught in Carlos's language trap.

But Carlos was right, he couldn't rub the sand in his eyes.

"I can perceive it. When you are two uncles, Terenas and Lothar, you can't guess what? Everyone is not talking about it. Before, I thought a lot about why Lordaeron would ask Alterac Please help, why doesn't Terenas send troops by himself? He should definitely have more than that little power in his hand. Through today, I understand."

"Understand what?" Turalyon still didn't understand.

"The rescue of Stratholme cannot be done by the army within the Kingdom of Lordaeron, at least not by the people of Silverpine Forest or Fireplace."

"Uh, it seems to make sense."

Turalyon tasted something.

"The people of Lordaeron and Hearthglen have fought against the orcs and ogres of the Horde for the Alliance in the Hillbrad area. Your Stratholme people eat and drink and soak girls all day? Maybe it’s better to be born in Hearthglen. , If you let people from around Lordaeron come, the fun will be great. Unlike the compromise of interests between the nobles, the love and hatred of the people at the bottom is actually unreasonable.” Carlos finished speaking and stretched out. waist.

"Then what are you going to do? Regarding the troll." Turalyon stretched out too, ready to ask the last question before going to bed.

"Keep on guard, the elves are not in a hurry for us." Carlos replied.

"Then I'm going to sleep, you are crowded, you are the coach, and I cooperate with you." Turalyon nodded.

"Hey, the paladin can't abstain, so many tender little girls, don't you go find one?" Carlos teased.

"I have only one goddess!" Turalyon refused righteously.

"Hey, I'll teach you a spell. Next time you tell Alleria, it might be useful." Carlos said maliciously.

"!!!" Turalyon asked quickly: "What is it?"

"As you do, spread your five fingers, then retract your middle and ring fingers, and place your palms outwards on your chest. Be careful, remember to smile when you chant the spell."

"Why are you so awkward?" Turalyon muttered. "What's the use of this spell?"

"I heard that it can increase goodwill."

"Oh, let's talk about it then."

Carlos took two deep breaths, holding back his smile first.

"The mantra is very simple, only five tones, but your pronunciation and spelling must be clear."

"Oh, oh, just say it." Turalyon, a simple young man, was brave enough to try anything that would help his love path.

The spell is, Carlos pinched his thigh with his fingers, and said: "Nicole Nicole!"

"I'm going to bed." Turalyon turned and left blankly.
