Chapter 517 Prince Galin Wants to Be Gilded?
There have been two wars between humans and orcs.
Human beings are the passive side, and it can be said that they are ravaged. Farmland in the village was burned, and women, children and children were killed.
But even so, after the end of the second war, the Alliance of Human Kingdoms still did not completely kill the orcs who surrendered.
The core cognition advocated by human beings strives to distinguish humans from beasts and stick to a bottom line. Don't let resentment cloud your reason.
As Terenas once said: "If we did that, we'd be like orcs."
This is not to sing high-profile, but wise words, in the final analysis, for their own good.
This time it's for the orcs, which one is next? wild boar? Tauren? troll?
This is not the original world, but a world where multiple intelligent species coexist. And humans are a species that emerged relatively late.
Some things can be done silently when one has the strength, but one cannot announce them to the public, especially if one is not strong enough to look down on all living beings, talking nonsense with a big mouth will cause serious consequences.
According to visual observations, for a long time, humans in Azeroth have had the need, even necessity, to unite intelligent populations, develop together, and make alliance forces bigger and stronger.
Even Kane Sun's split soul harmoniously did not play mass extinction this time, but chose to exile the orcs.
Kane felt that on this point, he and Lordaeron's current king, Terenas, should coincide with each other.
It's just that, under the background of "technology promotes productivity, and production leads to a comprehensive road to prosperity" in the Kingdom of Stormgard, some years of evils, such as self-righteous and ulterior motives, have all been taken advantage of to clean up.
Under the general trend, those mountain-top activists who were followed by so many people in the past have basically become lonely people. The little labor pain caused by cleaning up these people is selectively forgotten by people under the background of bottom-line interests and optimistic money. up.
Besides, Kane is not like his cheap daddy, who behaves like a soldier and is too rigid. Kane is flexible, or in other words, with his economic acumen and ability to make money, it is enough to support him to pretend to be a local tyrant.
So in the eyes of others, those who have been cleaned up, the end is actually not bad, they have no rights, and even the land has been taken away, but there is money, even if the money is to go to the rich Dalong area of Lundanlun, it is enough Buy a piece of land not inferior to this area.
And indeed someone did it.
For this reason, the dignitaries of Lundanlun made a lot of money from the Stormgard people, so that in recent years, it has been rumored that the king of Stormgard gave gold coins to his subjects, and all of them were very rich.
In any case, the Kingdom of Stormgard was the first of the Seven Kingdoms to emerge from the economic decline caused by the war.
It is not only reflected in the substantial improvement of the people's living standards and the official prosperity, but also in the realization of centralization.
This is also necessary, and there are only 50,000 people in total. If you still play the game of feuding a state and building a country, where the lords conduct their own affairs, where can we find enough qualified workers?
But the situation in the Kingdom of Lordaeron is not so sunny.
It is true that Terenas is the king, but his authority is mainly reflected in the territory directly under him. Major matters also need to be negotiated with the major lords, rather than making decisions with one word.
On the issue of how to deal with the orcs, the Alliance has never had a particularly good solution.
The people suffered from the two human-animal wars, and they have a lot of resentment towards the orcs. This has to be considered.
The interests of the powerful must also be considered. After all, during the war, the dignitaries also gave their best help. If the war is won, there must be rewards. Otherwise, no one will play with you in the future.
It is precisely because there is no solution that satisfies all parties. That's why it was imprisoned and delayed until now.
Kane believes that there is nothing wrong with exiling the orcs to the wild.
But there are some opinions on how to do it.
There is no leader who convinces most of the orcs. Even if those orcs are released, they will not choose to cross the ocean and go through hardships to create a future.
They don't have a long-term vision, and they don't plan for their children and grandchildren. They live day by day.
A small leader with a little prestige will become an organized raider like some remnants of the Dragonmaw clan entrenched in the wetlands.
Or a small group of three or a few can do whatever they can, including being poachers, looters, and so on.
At least one must be like Drek'Thar (shaman), with a clear way (moral belief), as well as considerable personal charm and talent, in order to gather crowds and make orcs believe in something, and be willing to pay blood and sweat for what they believe. even life.
Therefore, Orgrim? Doomhammer, or someone like Thrall, is necessary to exist.
A united orc is indeed more difficult to defeat. But now it is more beneficial for most of the orcs to unite under one banner and go to Kalimdor, thus concentrating their strength and cultivating internal affairs.
It stands to reason that the war has destroyed a lot of real wealth, and all countries are in the ascendant with a huge demand gap.
After comparing the history of this world and the original world vertically and horizontally, it is not difficult to conclude that the 20 years after the war can be said to be the golden age.
But if even the basic law and order cannot be guaranteed, and the government has to spend its limited power on the military while production is starved for food, then it will fall into a state of militarism and a vicious circle.
In the seven kingdoms of mankind, basically every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.
The departure of the high elves also clearly saw the dire situation. I didn't want to be dragged down, so I did it.
Solas, who participated in the secession meeting, told Kane about the situation at that time.
Lordaeron's dignitaries also had the impassioned ones who made a statement in person: "The Kingdom of Lordaeron will never forget the help of its allies, and human beings will never forget the help of their allies. In the future, the kingdom will definitely give back."
The representative of the high elves smiled and said, "We are waiting for feedback."
It means the second war between humans and beasts. Humans have already owed a lot to the high elves, just like the property has been mortgaged. Pay it off first, and then borrow money.
Kane saw this more thoroughly, and he said to Solas: "There is a relationship of interests between countries. What's more, different cultures and different groups with different histories have to plan for their own groups and seek good fortune. Avoid evil, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."
"From this point of view, the high elves and their magical civilization really have very little demand on us. The alliance with the humans led by Emperor Thoradin at the beginning was also because they were not very populated and fought fiercely with the trolls. Cannon fodder is urgently needed."
"And that time, they paid the bill. Without the high elves, there would be no human spellcasting organization, the Kirin Tor, and there would be no Dalaran."
Solas said a little unhappy: "Then it's right for Greymane (King of Gilneas) to take advantage of the situation and leave the alliance?"
Kane said in his heart: "Of course, how did the Kingdom of Stormgard in the original historical line be played to death? If it weren't for me, Stormgard would have been the alliance's barracks. The soldiers died on the battlefield. It was also squeezed out, how can the remaining old, weak and women support the country? They can only leave the stage sadly. Terenas has no good solution to the problem, so he played a game of dead friends and immortal poor dao, so you have no figure it out."
On the other hand, he had to take care of Solas's face, playing around a bit. The focus is on the reasons why different positions and perspectives are used to look at problems and draw different conclusions.
In any case, because of the variable of Kane, Stormgard not only saved a large number of personnel, but also had a huge difference in economy and national strength from the original historical line at the same time.
Even, the impact of his variable has already affected the entire human race.
To put it simply, without Kane and his industry, the cost of arming humans would be at least 50% higher than it is now, and the level of arming would be a big step lower.
In this period of small-scale wars and conflicts that have never stopped, the strength of the armed forces has saved the vitality of the human population. Although no one can figure this out, it must be a big gain.
Now, in the face of Terenas' request to send troops, after consulting Kane's opinion, Solas finally gave the leader face and dispatched combat forces.
On the grounds that he was old and the prince needed experience, Solas made Galin Trollbane the supreme commander of the army, assisted by several old subordinates.
On the surface, this seems to be an opportunity to gild the heir to the throne in order to gain more seniority and to succeed smoothly in the future.
This is similar to the fact that Terenas later sent Alsace to investigate the plague. Of course, Terenas hadn't imagined that things would be so difficult at the time.
Most people were not very optimistic about Prince Galin, thinking that Solas had made a bad move. This was not a way of giving his son prestige, and he clearly wanted to keep his old face and cheat his son.
The opponent is the cunning Orgrim! A master of strategy, the means of tactical use are also proficient. The Second Human-Beast War beat the Kingdom Alliance to the ground.
If Gul'dan hadn't taken nearly half of his combat power to develop the Tomb of Sargeras at the critical moment, the Seven Kingdoms of Humanity would have been completely defeated.
Later, even though the Alliance, which gained a respite, organized a large army to counterattack, Orgrim still beheaded Anduin Lothar in the Burning Plain with his own hands.
At that time, the human side had an absolute advantage, and they were mourners, so they gnawed down this old bone under the leadership of Turalyon (the deputy of Lothar at the time). As a result, he was released from the prison of Stormwind City by this old guy soon after. escaped.
Now that Turalyon and other elites of the alliance are lost in the world of Draenor, Orgrim feels a little unstoppable.
As for some people saying that Prince Galin is an apostle of the Holy Light, he is extremely powerful in combat, and it is rumored that he can beat hundreds of orcs by himself.
The dignitaries and experts disdain this: Do you believe in folk rumors? One person hits hundreds, why doesn't he go to heaven? Blowing too much.
Besides, does an excellent military commander necessarily have anything to do with personal bravery?
Therefore, Lordaeron's powerful circles believed that the talented and talented Prince Trollbane would face the first defeat in his life on the issue of orcs.
"Nightmare difficulty? No, looking at the problem from another perspective, it's actually not that difficult." Kane said to the commanders under his command.
And these commanders also behaved very Dante, they knew the abilities of their princes.
Just like what a certain military officer said: "God, is that difficult for Prince Galin? Some people are too self-righteous. If they can't do it themselves, they think that others can't do it either. Our prince will surely be as brilliant as Emperor Solatin." great cause, as long as there is that opportunity.”
The Falcons moved, and quickly, in actions that felt like forced relocations.
In Southsea Town, Tarren Mill, and the Big Farm area, the Falcon Legion forcibly moved the population to the east of Thoradin's long wall under the pretext of protecting the people.
Such an approach was naturally resisted by the local people. They have deep feelings for the land they have lived for generations. Many people expressed their willingness and ability to guard their homes.
Then the Falcon Legion rudely taught them how to behave. The battle formation beat up the disaffected militia boys, making everyone clearly feel the gap between the militia and the professional army.
Someone cried and said, "You are so powerful, instead of beating the orcs, you are bullying us."
The grassroots officers and soldiers of the Falcon Legion said: "We don't understand the truth, but we believe in our prince, his arrangements are always right, and there are more than 10 years of events to prove it."
Well, Galen? Thorbell is indeed a golden signboard. The people of Hillsbrad are also hearing cocoons...
