Returning to the wetland camp from Khaz Modan, Carlos walked for 21 days.

It only took a moment for Carlos to return to Alterac from the wetlands.

Magic, leading the core technology.

Don't meet Anduin Lothar, it was Alex Barov's advice to his son. The reason is simple. The alliance at this time belongs to the alliance of generals, a military organization with the purpose of killing the orcs and destroying the tribe in a fanatical atmosphere. Terenas Menethil handed over the military command of the Kingdom of Lordaeron to Anduin Lothar; Marine Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, who had died of his son, encircled and suppressed the orcs at sea. Fleet; Gilneas was madly hit by the Horde in the final stage of the Battle of Hillblad. Gene Greymane was pacifying the gang of nobles in the country; Stromgarde opened the road to the wetlands by land to ensure that the food road is unblocked. It's a omnipotent excuse.

So Carlos could not go to see Anduin Lothar, otherwise he would be tied to a moral fire.

Are you part of the alliance?

If yes, should you contribute your own strength to the alliance?

Can Alterac people do it?

Why didn't Alterac behave like this to let them go?

Politicians understand that military is nothing more than a continuation of politics, but in the eyes of generals and soldiers, war is a fight, but a life-and-death game.

However, politicians cannot deny this in front of the soldiers, otherwise who would go to war!

This created a very embarrassing situation for Carlos, because he is not only the king of Alterac, a natural politician, but also a war madman recognized within the alliance that he can fight and fight. Regardless of whether Anduin Lothar has such an idea, others in the league will place too heavy "hopes" on Carlos.

This "hope" will crush the entire kingdom.

So Alex Barov hopes that his son will return to the battlefield at least after the other kings have rushed to the front line, instead of becoming the "leader."

Dirty politics...

Carlos is very disgusted with these human calculations, but he can't deny that his father is much more keen on political consciousness than himself. How can you kill the enemy if you can't save yourself? So although Carlos was disgusted, he still followed the advice of his father.

To leave the battlefield, there must be an excuse.

So what excuse is it?

Of course it's back to my hometown to get married!

Galiya Menethil, the only sister of Alsace Menethil, the eldest daughter of Terenas Menethil, the eldest princess of Lordaeron, and Carlos' fiancee.

What a perfect reason. Others will return to their hometown to get married after the battle. A perfect mortal FLAG. Carlos was married to fight the "last battle", the perfect reverse FLAG, there is no flaw in logic, no one can say "no"!

Back in Alterac City, Carlos enjoyed the long-lost kingship.

Although I think I haven't made much achievement, just done some trivial work, but in the eyes of others, Carlos is already a living legend.

Blown out...

Compared with big guys like Anduin Lothar or Dalin Proudmoore, Carlos is too young. However, being young also has the advantage of being young, that is, becoming a "child of someone else's family" among the large population.

Although Alterac’s finances have been tight, as a father, Alex Barov doesn’t mind spending a small amount of money to let poets and musicians create some popular tavern tunes for Carlos.

So, when Carlos, a servant of the wind and dust, returned to the palace all the way from the mage tower, the guards knelt to the ground, making the young king a little embarrassed.

After simple washing and tidying up, and putting on new clothes, Carlos went to see his father, and after a affectionate hug, he found that the two did not know how to speak. The scene was once very embarrassing.

As the Grand Duke of the Regent, Alex's performance is impeccable, uniting friends, suppressing opponents, collecting taxes and levies, building pioneers, and things in Alterac Kingdom are operating in an orderly manner. Through magical communication, the contact between Alex and his son Carlos has never been interrupted. Similarly, Carlos has many things he wants to discuss with his father and exchange views.

However, when the two actually met, they found that there seemed to be nothing to say.

"Your mother is about to give birth, Jia Liya said to take care of her mother-in-law, and also went to Guy Erdalon, the wedding will be held in Guy Erdalon. After all, Guy Erdalon's environment is much better than Alterac City."

Alex spoke first, breaking the silence.

"No problem, just arrange it."

Carlos answered with a smile.

"How about the frontline?"

Alex asked with concern.

"Generally speaking, we have the advantage, but the logistics supply line is too long. Now on the main road from the Searing Gorge to the Burning Plain, it has been a battle for fueling. The orcs dare not retreat, and we only have to spend money. Only when the troops behind come up and form an absolute numerical advantage, the real decisive battle will come."

Carlos thought for a while and told his true opinion.

The financing of materials can be put aside, and poor transportation roads are the key. Transporting grain and grass from Lordaeron to Ironforge, there were ten carts full when they set off, and they walked slowly on the road for a month or two. There were only six and a half carts left, and the loss of people eating horses and chewing was too great. Thanks to the advanced forging industry in Ironforge, the alliance's ordnance loss can be supplied from the dwarves, otherwise the logistics of the Lordaeron kingdoms is estimated to be even more annoying. However, food is always a flaw, especially the water source in the Scorching Canyon is scarce. Drinking water alone accounts for half of the transport fleet's capacity. Therefore, in Ironforge, more than 100,000 troops have nothing to do with snowmen and snowball fights, but in the Scorching Canyon, the orcs are fighting to death. There are so many more than ten thousand people. Because there is no alternative, no matter how many troops there are, they should be starved to death.

"It will take at least three months to hoard weapons and food. If the dwarves regain control of Khaz Modan, their fields have already been sown when I left. If the dwarves can provide part of the food, the pressure on Sir Lothar will be small. There are many. But this is just my opinion. It depends on him for details. After all, he is the commander of the alliance and the highest commander."

"You mean it's just a confrontation. The real war will be after the summer harvest?"

Alex frowned and asked solemnly, hoping to get an affirmative answer.

"Yes, this is my opinion."

Carlos nodded.

"Then we can disband the army?"

Alex is eager to know what his son thinks.

Alterac's war mobilization order has not been lifted until now. Although the orcs were defeated at the Battle of Hillblad and Orgrim fled south, no one is sure whether the orcs will make a comeback. In such a crisis situation at the time, it was so difficult to issue a war mobilization order. Now once the militias are disbanded and they want to recruit, it will not take a year or a half. Therefore, under huge financial pressure, Alex did not end the war mobilization order from beginning to end.

Carlos really felt that it was difficult.

Contain the refugees and rebuild their homes. Until this moment, the population of Alterac Kingdom is only 400,000 people, and the army has gathered a full 70,000. Such a ratio of soldiers to civilians is not an exaggeration to say that all the people are soldiers. It is necessary to know that the population of Lordaeron has a population base of more than two million, and it has maintained a force of about 150,000.

No matter what the world, if you want to share the fruits of victory, there are always two conditions. First, you have to stand on the side of the winner, and second, it depends on how much you contribute.

Although Terenas had given away all his daughters, Carlos still felt a little uneasy. After all, the matter of the former king Aiden preparing to take refuge in the tribe orcs was there. During the war, hello, hello, hello, everyone, are there few things that will happen after the counterattack is over? To maintain such a large army is not only to be afraid of the unfavorable frontline warfare and need support, but also to guard against being stabbed by a "teammate". -kun does not see another world line, the Barov family saved the alliance, is it still settled by the autumn?

Lessons from the past!

So even though it hurts the people and money, Carlos still made a difficult decision.

"Slow down a little longer."
