Chapter 224 Alliance Night (Part 2) (Monthly Ticket Required)

When Duke publicly announced that he would donate 1 million Arathor gold coins on behalf of the Stormwind Kingdom as the alliance's pension for the soldiers of all countries, the entire banquet hall was boiling. Maybe you can say that Duke is putting on a show, but the show is also done with dignity. When Marcaro led people to the square outside the banquet hall with loads of gold coins, and opened the box to show the golden coins to everyone, the only thing left in the audience was admiration.

Duke gave the money not to anyone but to Alonsos Faol, Archbishop of the Church of the Holy Light.

In Dalaran a long time ago, a Lordaeron missionary threw a copper coin into the fountain pool and made a wish: "I hope that one day I can spread the way of the Holy Light to every commoner, and Teach them the meaning of the three virtues."

This missionary was the later Archbishop of the Holy Light, Alonsus Fao, who traveled to every city on this continent, and his holy name of the merciful saint has long been recognized by the entire continent. It is no exaggeration to say that he is synonymous with righteousness and sanctity in this era.

Duke said sincerely: "I believe the Archbishop will distribute the funds fairly."

Every king is willing to believe in the character of Alonsus. All of a sudden, the possible losses caused by the tribal invasion didn't seem too painful.

What is the concept of 1 million gold coins? In the Seven Kingdoms, this is already a whole year's financial income of a middle-level kingdom. Like Alterac, the last small mountainous country, the annual treasury only has hundreds of thousands of gold coins in its account. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the king's territory is poor, while the Barov family is rich.

Only Kul Tiras, which is full of ocean-going merchants, Dalaran, the inhuman kingdom of Faye, and Lordaeron, which has the most fertile and richest land, can relatively easily take out 1 million gold coins.

Now Duke's move to send money after sending the fleet is simply adding fuel to the fire. All of a sudden, the pretending souls of the kings were awakened.

"2 million in Kul Tiras." King Daelin, who had just received benefits, raised two fingers.

The Dalaran Speaker, the old man who reads as a local tyrant and writes as Antonidas raised three fingers with a smile.

Now that the small countries below are all pretending to be aggressive, as a fighter in the pretending world, the King of Lordaeron, who considers himself the number one in the world, slapped loudly.

"Hiss—" After the nobles gasped, there was naturally thunderous applause.

The astronomical figure of 11 million gold coins!

Thinking about it made me tremble all over.

But if you think about it, everyone will know that Terenas is very good. Because Lordaeron must have dispatched the most troops, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would have suffered the most losses. In fact, it's very likely that the money came around and ended up in Lordaeron's hands.

But it doesn't matter, the effect has been achieved.

Originally in the meeting, it was not decided which one would send how many troops. In fact, these things have to be discussed by Lothar, who is the commander of the alliance. This is banquet public relations. Lothar didn't expect that Duke would come up with such a good show, which would greatly reduce his workload.

Archbishop Alonsus struck while the iron was hot: "For the future of mankind, for the future of this world, it is a good thing for countries to have money and soldiers to send troops, isn't it?"

"Of course, as the leader of the alliance, I announce that the first phase of Lordaeron's troops will be led by Duke Alexandros Mograine, and his deputy will be General Abydis. The first phase of troops will be 100,000 people."

100,000 people, what kind of courage? This is definitely the most exaggerated standing force in the kingdoms that have not yet entered a state of complete war.

You know, Stormwind City, which had a standing army of 20,000 to 30,000 at the beginning, now has 50,000 elite soldiers. Lordaeron's war potential is of course far more than that.

The other kings who couldn't afford the money couldn't bear it.

King Solas of Stormgard said in a loud voice: "Arathi Highlands will not need knights for the time being, Commander Lothar, you will meet the Highland Knights of Stromgarde within a week."

King Jinn of Gilneas said in a low voice: "You will see the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infantry Regiments of Gilneas."

At this time, Alterac King Aiden, who has always been sophisticated and tactful, couldn't hold back his face anymore: "The Alterac King's Eagle Knights will arrive under your command within a week. Commander Lothar."

Knights and cavalry are two concepts. Although they all ride horses, knights are more than one class higher than cavalry!

Every knight has to start as a hard-working knight candidate, often a servant, and learn riding skills, fighting, etiquette and other knowledge from formal knights. Then bring your own horse and a pair of armor.

Don't underestimate a pair of armor, a qualified knight's armor, unless it is inherited from the ancestors, it is something that ordinary people can't afford for a lifetime.

Before Duke crossed, it would be equivalent to bringing 1 million soft sister coins. Note that this is only armor money, not including horses. Not just any horse can be a war horse. It is impossible for ordinary horses to bear the weight of hundreds of catties of people and armor.

To bear such a weight, plus a high-speed sprinting horse is not cheap. Converted into soft sister coins, 500,000 won't be able to escape.

Basically, at a glance, the standing horses with a back height of less than 1.70 meters are not war horses.

So raising one knight order is at least equal to raising five infantry regiments. These knight orders are the treasures of various kings, and it is rare to see them on weekdays. The Kingdom of Gilneas lacked horses, so it directly pulled out the main infantry regiment.

When Antonidas said that there would be a group of 200 mages led by one of the six members of the Kirin Tor Council to transfer to Lothar, Lothar couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, and he directly gave Duke a big thumbs up thumb.

"Thank you, child, I see the divine radiance in you, you have a beautiful heart that is brighter than gold." The next moment, when Alonsus's wrinkled hands touched Duke's shoulder, Duke's whole body actually exuded bursts of indifferent and soft white-gold light.

This is Duke's virtue of inheriting a certain Dharma God.

"Hehe! Child, I never thought that apart from your great talent in the way of mystery, you also have unparalleled aptitude in the way of holy light. If one day you can't go on the way of mystery, the gate of Stratholme Cathedral will be closed. open for you."

Oops! Capitalized 囧!

It turns out that by inheriting Medivh's integrity, I can change my profession to become a priest (holy priest)! ?

Duke thought that as a realistic modern time traveler, even if he was a priest, he would only be a shadow priest (shadow priest).

This feeling is really a dog!

Not only Duke, but other nobles pointed fingers at Duke. No one expected that Duke, who had killed 100,000 orcs with a single fire, had the heart of a saint.
