Chapter 219 Throne Council (Part 2)
Thoras Trollbane, king of Stormgard, said, "The Sardor Bridge was also severely attacked. Thanks to the valuable experience of His Majesty Lion of the Stormwind Kingdom, we did not suffer too much damage."
After all, it is also a video live broadcast.
Things are much better here. The orcs couldn't pass through the huge strait with high winds and rough seas by sea, so they could only storm the Sadore Bridge, which was not spacious.
Unlike the dwarves, the tribe can also climb mountains and so on. Here are two bridge decks that usually look wide, but feel very narrow during war.
More than 30 meters wide, it sounds like a lot. Originally, the terrain of the northern continent is slightly higher (otherwise why is it called Arathi Highland?), but it has to bear the hundreds of ballistas arranged along the mountain on the north side of the bridge and the scattering of gravel. Catapults, plus more than 30 arrow towers and the firepower of the thousand-man javelin team who work in shifts day and night and hide in the bunker...
Thirty meters? That's the target, right?
No matter how brave the orcs are, they will only be cannon fodder.
If the bridge had not been made by the dwarves and built so strong, the ordinary bridge would have collapsed long ago.
Therefore, what the Stormgardians paid was only manpower and material resources, not human lives. In this regard, King Solas did not forget to give King Lane a grateful look when playing the video. There is no full set of javelin manufacturing blueprints in the Kingdom of Stormwind, maybe the warriors of Stromgarde are still dealing with orcs with useless bows and arrows.
Not only the drawings, but also a large number of craftsmen came over to help Stormgard make javelins, while teaching the craftsmen of Stromgard.
The alliance has not yet been formally established, and the Kingdom of Stormwind is already doing its part as an ally. Moreover, before today's meeting, Duke had made it clear to King Solas that if Stromgarde needed it, his 7,000 private soldiers could go to Arathi Highlands to help defend at any time.
Of course Thoras Trollbane would not know that according to the development of the situation, he would never have the chance to use such a support army, and Duke happened to come here to be good because he knew this. Now was the time when Solas was terrified by the orcs, and there was such a daring ally who promised to give support without charging a penny. It was more than tears, and Solas' snot almost flowed from his nose.
If he knew that Duke murmured back, "It's really cool to be able to increase the favorability with promises that don't need to be fulfilled.", maybe he would have the heart to kill Duke.
Of course, these are assumptions.
With the orcs as the great enemy, and the artisan support from Duke Marcus of the Stormwind Kingdom, Stormgard is definitely a positive country to respond to the formation of the alliance.
However, relative. In the countries located relatively north, except for Lordaeron, who had just been slapped in the face by orc slaves, the performance of several kings was a bit indifferent. Especially the representative of the high elves, Darkan, a member of the Silvermoon Council, was actually admiring his newly manicured nails.
Ryan and Anduin couldn't help frowning: What time is it, these guys are still waiting and watching! ?
Anduin was the most direct. He kicked Duke secretly, and said in a low voice, "Don't you still have materials to submit?"
Duke gave Lothar a blank look, and finally raised his hand: "I—Duke Marcus, Duke of Karazhan, the Kingdom of Stormwind, still have important information to submit."
Those who can attend, even those standing behind the king, are all important ministers of the kingdom. King Terenas nodded: "I agree to submit."
In the historical alliance, one of the biggest losses was: the stupid high-level leaders of various countries thought that the orcs could not build ships at first.
Now, what Duke submits is an image that he personally sent Daniel and the search team of three ships to get back.
On the huge mirror, a group of orcs were working hard.
Although the handwork of these rude guys is completely unsightly, it can still be clearly seen that it is the keel of the ship.
This time, the one who reacted the most was King Daelin Proudmoore of Kul Tiras. He stood up from the throne with a bang, staring at the screen with his bulging eyes. If an orc has a large fleet, his Kul Tiras has nowhere to go. It can be said that apart from Duke's fleet, Kul Tiras has no foreign aid at all!
This is not over yet, Duke continued to talk.
"This is a picture of Palatine Bay in the northwest of the southern continent. It is just across the sea from Nanhai Town. As we all know, our Stormwind Kingdom has a fleet of more than a hundred warships, as well as more than ten thousand murlocs and hundreds of warships. Naga. Even without the fleet of Kul Tiras, we dare to say that we can defend Southsea Town. But there is nothing we can do in other places.”
In front of the huge map of the eastern kingdom continent in the center of the seven thrones and the two representative seats, Duke let a mage's hand gently hover over the map.
Go west from Palatine Bay, bypass Southsea Town, and turn north at the edge of the land...
At this time, it was the turn of King Jean of the Kingdom of Gilneas in the southwest corner of the northern continent to look bad.
Of course, Lordaeron King Terenas also had a bad face. Because just near the fingers of Duke's mage's hand is the Beiliu coast, which is convenient for landing. Where is it on the coast? Isn't it the Silverpine Forest in Lordaeron.
At this time Duke said solemnly: "Of course, this is just a speculation. Maybe..."
The direction of the Mage's Hand has changed. This time, it is going east from the Palatine Bay, passing under the Sador Bridge all the way, reaching the southeast of the northern mainland, and then going north along the cape. This time the fingers crossed the steep and The Arathi highlands, full of elemental creatures, point to the east coast of the Hinterlands further north.
Back to Alterac King Aiden's complexion was a little bit bad, but his reaction was not too violent.
"Is it there? Better yet, let those damned trolls fight the green-skinned monsters." Aiden argued.
"What if those trolls join the tribe?" Duke asked with a sneer.
Aiden was very, very upset when he was questioned by Duke, a kid: "Then at least there are those dwarfs from Eagle's Nest Mountain in front."
As soon as Aiden finished speaking, the dwarf prince Magni became upset: "Hey! King of Alterac, watch your tone. Those are our dwarf brothers!"
"Yes, brothers who fight each other with axes and hammers!" Aiden gave Magni a contemptuous look.
"Bastard! Even after the War of the Three Hammers! But we have reconciled with the Wildhammer dwarves long ago! I warn you not to insult our Wildhammer brothers again, or I will never end with you." Magni waved the hammer violently .
"Hmph!" Aiden snorted coldly, and replied with silence. I don't want to delve into this matter.
Beside Magni, Muradin Bronzebeard, who has been an ambassador for many years, was more tactful, and he held back his brother.
Duke glanced at King Aiden. Although he quickly retracted his gaze, Lothar still saw the divine light at that moment—it was a disdainful look at a dead man.
Duke's deduction based on orc-based shipbuilding has come to an end.
If it wasn't for the serious atmosphere, Ryan almost wanted to applaud Duke's wonderful deduction. Regardless, Duke has managed to establish a common ground for the entire league.
