Chapter 173 The Power of Lordaeron
"So, this guy is now the supreme commander of Andorhal?"
Li Ke covered his face and was speechless for a while.
Because the guy who was killed with an ax by the ambushed orc just now was the commander here.
How could a dignified defense officer die so casually?
Li Ke was really speechless. He didn't know what he should say. He could only say that he really couldn't understand what Tenaris was thinking.
However, what he didn't know was that Tenaris was also talking here, about Andorhal.
The news came from his spy, a mage living in Andorhal and a pharmacy owner.
But Tenaris didn't know this. He only knew that his information was efficient and convenient.
"It looks like we did draw these maggots out."
A smile appeared on Tenaris's face.
"By colluding with the orcs, they are seeking their own death. Your Majesty Tenaris, please leave this matter to me. I will not let the people of Andorhal be harmed at all! "
Sir Prestor, who returned urgently from Alsace, also showed the same smile. As soon as he came back, he encountered the Syndicate coming out to plunder.
Those Syndicate thieves probably didn't expect that Andorhal's defense would be so lax.
Unfortunately, they had already been fooled by this time. Some of the defenders of Durnholde Castle should have already laid an ambush, and the garrison of Nanhai Town should also be ready to clean up the entire Alterac at any time.
"Of course, Presto, this is exactly what I want to give you. Be prepared. I will let two legions go to Andorhal through the portal, and Antonidas of Dalaran will also send an army. The team is heading to Andorhal to help. If everything goes well, you will be able to meet this afternoon... Ha, Antonidas is finally more positive this time, and it seems that he is also troubled by the young people."
Tenaris paused.
"In addition, you know, the residents of Andorhal need to be appeased. I will provide some funding, but not too much."
"Of course, Your Majesty, thank you for your generosity."
Prestor understood what this meant. It simply meant that the people of Andorhal would be his people from now on, so he would not give too many favors.
However, he suddenly thought of something and was a little curious.
"But, Your Majesty, what about His Highness Arthas? That guy named Kel'Thuzad is eloquent and has evil intentions, but he is deeply trusted by Arthas. Moreover, Your Highness Tenaris, don't you think Is Alsace a little reckless?"
He felt that Alsace could not be said to be reckless, but simply naive and reckless.
Abbreviation.
stupid.
But Tenaris only smiled.
"It doesn't matter, for young people, preaching and dissuasion have no effect. Only the bloody facts can keep him in mind. Moreover, Uther will prevent him from doing really wrong things."
Tenaris said it in an understatement, and this was a conversation that would never occur in the ears of others.
Because this is different from Tenaris' usual image of a good guy.
But Tenaris really didn't care about Arthas's series of eager and reckless actions, because he, Tenaris, did not govern the country with holy light and absolute mercy.
The reason why he became the co-leader of the alliance was that he almost substantially recreated the Kingdom of Arathor.
It's because of power.
Trade with the elves, trade with Stormwind City, trade with other kingdoms, farming, increase the population, and form several legions of their own.
When he was young, he made many mistakes and experienced many setbacks. It can even be said that Alsace was almost carved from the same mold as him. It was precisely because of this that he did not move at all. The idea of having his daughter rule the kingdom.
He knew Alsace's thoughts very well. How could a father not know his son clearly?
Arthas has mastered all the qualities to become a qualified king who transcends himself. He only lacks one failure, one time to see clearly the way the world works, and one time to shatter and rebuild dreams.
And this method can only bring him a severe failure.
A person can only be considered mature if the world he knows is shattered once.
Therefore, he knew very well that Arthas had to realize his mistake himself before he would repent, and before that, he would not listen to anyone.
But when he hits the wall and clearly realizes his mistake, he will truly change. Therefore, he did not give his son any counselor or anyone who could stop him. He only asked him to bring with him people who could guarantee his life.
As for whether making mistakes will affect the national strength and prosperity of Lordaeron?
It would be ridiculous to say that the sole heir to the most powerful empire in mankind cannot make mistakes.
Tenaris is confident that no matter what kind of trap Arthas throws, as long as Arthas himself is fine, he can handle it!
This is the self-confidence of the first kingdom of mankind and the self-confidence of the Lord of the Alliance!
Even if Arthas massacres the city, destroys half of Lordaeron's army, and kills all the nobles who are following him, he can still survive!
Maybe many people don't have a clear understanding of the wealth and power of Lordaeron, let's put it this way.
The cost of teleporting a person is one hundred gold coins, most of which is the mage's labor fee, the intermediary's favor fee and other messy things, and the rest is the material cost.
But when he uses mages, he doesn't need to spend all this messy money. He only needs to give Antonidas a casual command, and Antonidas will summon the mages.
He only needs to pay the material cost of the legion-level teleportation spell and a little labor cost.
How much money is this?
Legion-level teleportation spells are extremely expensive and require countless precious materials. They are even more wasteful than teleporting people one by one, so they cost about the same——
Twenty thousand gold coins.
This is the cost of teleporting a thousand people.
And 20,000 gold coins is the price of a castle and a manor in Jennifer's family.
But now Tenaris can teleport tens of thousands of people to Andorhal at will, and he doesn't even need to blink when doing this!
Therefore, Tenaris can easily think about what stupid things his son will do, and what attitude he will take to face him when the time comes.
Is it tolerance, anger, or calm?
Tenaris felt that he should show his tolerance and love for his son. After all, his son was hit by the time.
But just as he was thinking about it, his attendant came over and whispered to him.
"The Syndicate realized something was wrong."
Yes, the Syndicate also has its spies.
"Then it's time, Presto, my son-in-law."
Tenaris looked at the King of Alterac whom he recalled urgently.
"It's time for you to go."
