Chapter 1985 Huge Money

The city of Lordaeron in this life was not destroyed by the orcs like it was in history, but it also did not escape Arthas' counterattack.

History has changed too much, Queen Xi did not become undead, and Anastrian did not defend the city of Lordaeron. As a result, there will naturally be no city of Lordaeron renamed the Undercity.

Queen Kallia has been in power for fifteen years. On the surface, she pursues rule by inaction and openly admits that she is a mascot-like existence.

The power of Lordaeron is miraculously divided into two parts: the military power is mostly in the hands of the high lord Mograine and the military nobles headed by the Abedis family. To be precise, the current leader of the military is Bridget Abidis, the daughter of the former general and now missing Abidis.

However, perhaps because King Terenas controlled the Silver Hand back then, the Knights of the Silver Hand under Kallia's instruction became a strange existence. It is fully funded by Lordaeron, but it has autonomy. It can recruit people independently, preferentially recruit people from the Lordaeron military, and fight independently.

The most interesting thing is that the entire economy of Lordaeron is strictly controlled by Ilucia. The Queen of Alterac holds the deputy position of Lordaeron's Finance Minister, which is the only one in the world.

This is Duke's harem economic circle.

But no one can say that Ilucia is not. Under Ilucia's hand, in just fifteen years, Lordaeron, which was already very strong, became frighteningly rich.

No one in the military can tell how rich Lordaeron is. Anyway, based on current military expenditures, Ilucia has already prepared enough military expenditures for them for ten years. The accounts are open, the funds are clear, and the gold in stock is allowed to be checked at any time.

Of course, the richest families these days can no longer simply be considered the three traditional families - Alterac, Kul Tiras and Marcus.

The richest organization now is the alliance.

Every four years, or when new members join, the alliance reviews military expenditures and the distribution of troop numbers and ordnance. In principle, powerful countries are obliged to provide more money, manpower and material resources.

This is an obligation.

The opposite of obligation also means rights. For example, when a new territory is conquered, a powerful country that has fulfilled its obligations will have the right to be allocated better land and harvest more spoils.

As the alliance wins one after another, even if it pays a large amount of pensions and war dividends according to the alliance's death regulations, all countries are extremely profitable. It's more like a snowball.

This time when I heard about attacking tribes, all countries started to fight like chickens, clamoring for their country or race to send more troops.

More investment means dividends.

Now the harvest season is here.

There is actually no direct benefit to annihilating the orthodox tribe itself. After all, the two traditional tribal territories of Durotar and the Barrens are quite poor, and the minerals they produce are low-grade copper ore, tin ore, and the like.

But it would be different if the goblins who were greedy for wealth and were unkind were eliminated.

The Bilgewater Cartel, the Venture Capital Company, and the Steamwheedle Corporation, these three companies are so damn smart, each one is richer than the last.

This time, the alliance rushed to kill everyone and announced early that if those employees did not betray, or killed them, or reported where their bosses hid the money, then the employees would also be punished with death.

Goblins are asking for money even if they die.

Many employees are not goblins, their lives are gone, and money is useless.

In addition, the goblin tycoons, magnates, and trade princes all have bloody hands, and every penny in their treasury is filled with the smell of blood.

"If you successfully report your boss's illegal income, the alliance will confiscate the goblin's illegal income and give 1% of the total amount as a tax-free bonus to reward the whistleblower and ensure the whistleblower's privacy."

This policy became the ultimate decision to hang all the goblins.

Forget about employees of other races reporting goblins. Even though they knew that the alliance wanted to kill all the goblins, there were still many hard-working goblins who continued to report them with the mentality of wanting their bosses to die first.

According to incomplete statistics as of December 30, the amount of goblin wealth seized by the Alliance this time is already an astronomical figure.

How much is it approximately?

Well, compared to the combined total of more than 20 national organizations in the Dark Portal Alliance in 29 years, it is probably 100 times. It sounds exaggerated, but considering that it has been accumulated by countless black-hearted goblins for thousands of years, it is not surprising.

It's really ironic that when the Alliance came to the city, several major trade princes were only willing to use a thousandth of the money from their treasury to offer rewards to boost morale. Another one-thousandth was spent trying to bribe senior officials and generals of the alliance.

This reminded Duke of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, those ministers whose hearts were rotten to the core. When Li Zicheng came to the city, the emperor asked them to donate some money to work for the army to boost morale, but no one was willing to contribute. It was like who would pay? Who looks stupid?

As a result, King Chuang broke through the imperial capital, dragged out all the ministers and big households, and slaughtered them. After a veritable killing of the big households, the idiots screamed and begged for mercy. Unfortunately it was too late.

There are always striking similarities in history. The goblin's insistence on money is indeed unrepentant.

The funny thing is that there are always enemies in this world that money cannot defeat.

For example, a guy like Duke who doesn't care about money at all.

To be precise, Duke only cares about the lives of a few goblin trade princes and all their money.

No matter how tough-talking the goblin is, he can't withstand the torture of the eredar twins' souls. A few times, even when they were children, they had peeped at someone's goblin girl taking a bath and poured it out.

This huge amount of money caused a huge shock among the league's top brass.

Not to mention the other leaders, even a rough guy like Varian became mentally active.

Duke stopped them——

"Yes, according to the laws of the alliance, this huge wealth is undoubtedly a spoil of war. But before the throne meeting votes to decide whether to divide this property, I have something to say."

"That is... money is only meaningful if you are still alive and your descendants have a future. If Azeroth is destroyed, then no matter how many gold coins you have, it will be nothing more than scrap metal."

"The Burning Legion is destined to come again, five years at the earliest and ten years at the latest. I have said it a long time ago. If you doubt what I said, you can choose to withdraw from the alliance and live as comfortably as you want in your little kingdom. days, and then wait for the end. But there will be no redemption at that time, and there will be no more Alliance troops to save you, your citizens, and your compatriots. Not to mention that the Alliance will not have excess troops at that time, even if there are, I will only watch you die quietly."

When Duke said this, his tone was already very serious.

"The next time the Burning Legion arrives, the number of demons arriving on this land will no longer be tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands. Even though the protective array of Azeroth is still effective, considering the weakening of the Aspect Dragon, the worst plan is for the Legion to It can still send over tens of millions of demonic armies at every turn."
