Chapter 436 The Expeditionary Force Returns Home
"In the second war against the orcs, His Majesty Thoras Trollbane led his army thousands of miles to attack the Alterac Mountains and made outstanding contributions to the victory of the Alliance. He is a hero of the Alliance. Now his honor has been jeopardized. The throne of Stromgarde hangs high. As a member of the Trollbane family, I think you should stand up. This is a responsibility and an obligation."
This conversation was extremely formal. Although Vanessa did not wear a crown, she also changed into a palace dress.
Normally she doesn't wear these clothes, not only her defense is zero, but it also affects her movements.
However, in order to appear solemn and add a serious atmosphere to the conversation, I could only endure it.
The affairs of the Kingdom of Stromgard were originally unimportant, it was just a scabies disease.
If Garin Trollbane and the Forsaken ones stayed in Stromgarde, she wouldn't bother to care about them, but these guys were jumping around, and Vanessa didn't want to see people hiding behind Lordaeron during the Northern Expedition in the future. A group of Forgotten Ones, let’s take advantage of the time and destroy them.
The Kingdom of Stromgard has always been an independent kingdom. Lordaeron has no legal, moral or blood ties to annex it. Vanessa can only help them change a leader.
It happens that the nephew of the former king, Danaus Trollbane, one of the Five Heroes of the Black Gate, is in the Alliance Expeditionary Force. In terms of inheritance rights, the nephew is somewhat far away from the throne, but the serious direct bloodline has been severed, and the nephew succeeds. It's also true.
"Your Highness, the problem now is that the coalition forces are fighting in Argus. Should I go back at this time?..." Danaus Trollbane is a warrior with a sense of honor. He does not want to leave the battlefield at this critical moment. .
Vanessa had already expected this: "The expeditionary force has left Azeroth for twenty years, and it is unreasonable for you to continue fighting in a foreign land. You are soldiers, and it is your duty to fight for your country, but the Alliance We must also reward you for your efforts. Bolvar and Magni Bronzebeard and I have discussed that the soldiers of the expeditionary force can enjoy hero treatment in Stormwind City or Lordaeron. Your future livelihood will be provided by the Alliance. You will be compensated with land, money and various other compensations. Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Stormwind welcome you home. Of course, if you want to go to Ironforge or Darnassus of the Night Elves, all cities in the Alliance are welcome. Your return.”
"The soldiers of the Expeditionary Force have a year's leave, and then it is up to them to decide whether to continue serving. Azeroth has also undergone many changes in recent years. Give the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force a holiday and let them go home. Look, that's the only thing the league can do for them."
The old soldier sighed softly. This sigh was extremely complicated. It contained memories, pride, and other things. He himself couldn't explain his mood at the moment. He only knew that the expeditionary force was like a nail, spending two Ten years of staying here, and now it can finally come to an end.
"I would like to thank His Highness for your help on behalf of my old friends. In any case, their sacrifices have not been in vain."
Danaus Trollbane is a political figure regardless of his age. He knows that the expeditionary force should receive this honor, but there are many things that should happen in the world, and many things that should happen have not actually happened. Without Fanny, Sha Go actively promotes this matter, they will not receive this honor so quickly.
The rest of the matter is easy to talk about. Danath Trollbane does not refuse to return to his country to inherit the throne. He has the right to inherit. There is no need to pretend to be humble. Lordaeron wants to send troops to help, and he has no reason to object.
In the history of mankind, it is not uncommon for the seven kingdoms to fight against each other and help each other. Back then, the Kingdom of Stormwind was able to accept the help of Lordaeron to restore its kingdom. Recently, Lordaeron received the support of the Kingdom of Stormwind to re-establish its kingdom. These are all ready-made examples. , now it is completely acceptable for the Kingdom of Stromgard to accept assistance from Lordaeron.
Lordaeron did not provide free assistance. It was reasonable to obtain some benefits afterwards, and no one could fault it.
In the next few days, the soldiers of the Alliance Expeditionary Force returned to the Outland one after another. To be honest, the number of Alliance soldiers plus Illidan's soldiers now exceeds 100,000 soldiers fighting on Argus. There is really no need for these thousands of them. As the bloody battle continues, it is very urgent to keep the veterans away from the battlefield and return home.
Carrying large and small packages of gifts, they gathered from all over to Shattrath City.
After the coalition forces entered Argus, the role of Outland was not that great. Naru'adal followed him to Argus, and Shattrath City was finally handed over to the Alliance and the Horde for joint management.
It is said to be jointly managed. Vanessa occupies this place most of the time. She regards Shattrath as the main logistics base. Shattrath is the first stop for all kinds of materials transported from Azeroth.
Relying on the accumulation of many mages and massive supplies, four permanent portals were built in Shattrath City.
The Alliance's portals lead to Stormwind City and Lordaeron respectively, while the Horde's portals lead to Orgrimmar and Thunder Bluff.
The original Alliance Expeditionary Force was dispatched under the premise that Lordaeron was the leader. You sent people out, and now you have to bring them back. Vanessa took over everything in Lordaeron, so she naturally has to bear this responsibility. .
Her craftsmen worked overnight and produced a total of 9,125 Expeditionary Force commemorative medals.
This is the final number of people counted by Khadgar and others. Twenty years have passed, and there are less than 3,000 soldiers alive today. However, the commemorative medals of those who died must be handed over to their families as much as possible, and all kinds of land and money Compensation should also be sent.
This is a very troublesome matter, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net But Vanessa estimates that it can be done with some effort. Azeroth's household registration system is not as bad as imagined. If she wants to do it, she can definitely do it.
"Old man, we really have to go back..." Kurdran Wildhammer, the legendary warrior of the Wildhammer dwarves and one of the Five Heroes of the Black Gate, touched his gryphon's head and sighed.
They were brave and fearless on the battlefield, and had the feat of shooting down the red dragon back then, but now they were timid in their hometown. Standing in front of the portal, the old dwarf with a big beard actually hesitated.
"How about I fight those demon brats for a few more days? Without me and my gryphon, those Alliance brats can't stop the demons!" He retreated a bit.
Khadgar also returned to Shattrath from the front line. He was not planning to go back. He came here mainly to see him off. He laughed heartily: "Hahaha, you ugly dwarf, go back quickly and find a female dwarf. Then we will have sex." A bunch of little Wildhammers!"
"Isn't it the same for you? You are less than half my age, but look at your white beard? Some people believe you are my grandfather!" The old dwarf also mocked venomously. Most of the Alliance expeditionary force is Singles, except for Turalyon and Alleria who can get together, they have all been single for twenty years, and now they look beautiful even if they look like a sow!
