Chapter 692: Added Blackmail Letter

After Anduin finished sending the bill, all the alliance commanders around him smiled bitterly.

What kind of business is this?

Why does it sound like all of us heroes who have been guarding the border for the Alliance have become profiteers?

But no one had an opinion on this. Because Lordaeron has indeed been unkind in the past two years. Ultimately, it's because of Alterac.

After all, Lordaeron decided to acquire and annex the land of Alterac in official and unofficial ways.

The Barov family's territory was confiscated by the 'Alliance'.

But when it comes to how to distribute the confiscated territory, the wealthy Lordaeron chose to provide monetary compensation to surrounding countries, while keeping the land price as low as possible while exerting various political pressures. As a result, the entire Alterac Mountains are now renamed Lordaeron. .

Only Steinblade, Icewind Hills, and Hillsbrad Hills are temporarily owned by the nobles of the Federation of Lordaeron.

To everyone's surprise, Duke had no entanglement with Lordaeron in the Alterac Mountains, and almost acquiesced to Lordaeron's misbehavior.

No one expected that retribution would come so soon.

Anduin pulled out a letter that Duke had written long ago and read it.

"The Alliance High Command informed the Kingdom of Lordaeron that the Horde army broke out of the Dark Portal at four o'clock in the morning today and is storming the Watch Keep where the Alliance's Southern Legion is stationed. The Horde's offensive is fierce, and we have responded with heavy artillery. It has been half an hour since the war started. Annihilate more than 5,000 tribesmen. In order to prevent the tribe's million-strong army from breaking through the Watch Keep and then taking a boat from the reed coast of the Swamp of Sorrows to the north to land on the Seaview Cliffs of the Hinterlands, I hereby request that your country fulfill its responsibilities as the leader of the alliance and allocate 5 million gold coins... …”

A group of alliance commanders covered their mouths and laughed after hearing this.

Damn, is this a notification letter?

This is clearly a ransom note!

Tell Lordaeron clearly that I am starting a war here, and it is too far away from you. You don't have to send troops, but you have to give double the money. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not having enough money to buy cannonballs.

Geographically speaking, the alliance is actually completely justified. Because even if Fort Watch is lost, there is the newly established Redridge Fortress on the Redridge Mountain line. Ryan personally leads 70% of the Stormwind Kingdom's troops, plus Reginald Windsor's Duke's private army, a total of 120,000 troops to guard it.

Someone asked if the tribe would turn to Deadwind Pass?

hehe! The entire Headwind Trail is within the attack range of the Karazhan Mage Tower. In terms of magic defense capabilities, the defense capabilities of Karazhan and Sunwell at this point in time are at the same level, higher than Dalaran and Silvermoon City.

Therefore, the most likely reason for the fall of Watchfort is that the Horde crossed the sea and attacked the Hinterlands, as Anduin just thought.

If this is the case, who is going to kneel? Either Lordaeron or Quel'Thalas!

In fact, Terenas was very upset when he was woken up late at night. But when he saw the orc limbs flying in mid-air in the magic mirror, he was silent for a long time.

That's right!

The tribe is at it again.

Looking at the enemy information attached by Anduin, judged based on the tribal battle flags, with the names of nearly ten first-class tribal clans clearly written on it, Terenas felt his stomach hurt.

Knowing that it was Duke who was robbing Jue, Terenas could only hold his nose and admit it.

Of course, the most infuriating thing was Duke's reminder: "We will definitely fight against the Horde at Watchfort, but please be careful in Lordaeron. Based on the information confessed by the Horde prisoners captured by the Alliance, the Alliance command is convinced that in Tiris The Warsong Clan in Falinland and the Frostwolf Clan (a first-rate clan) likely lurking in the Alterac Mountains will echo the Horde's offensive."

Seeing this, Terenas wanted to jump to Lake Lordamre.

Damn, the Warsong clan has not been completely wiped out for two years, which is enough to give them a headache.

Where can we find another top-notch Frostwolf clan?

When was this information released?

Even Terenas wouldn't believe it even if he killed him. This is the information he just learned.

No need to ask, it is clear that Duke knew early on that Lordaeron had swallowed up the Alterac Mountains without telling him, and he only revealed it when the Horde launched a large-scale attack.

Okay, the two first-rate clans of the tribe in your own back garden, even if they are half disabled, wait for the tribe army to kill them, and they will cooperate with each other, and Lordaeron will be waiting to destroy the country, right?

Is this a ransom note from the front line?

No!

This is a bastard plus level 3 extortion letter!

Terenas slapped the armrest of his throne three times as hard as he could! Even the ministers under the steps of the throne could feel its vibration.

His confidant, Duke Charmas, whispered: "We must pay this military fee, and it cannot be paid according to the quota."

"Yes! Pass my royal decree and give it directly to the alliance headquarters according to the double payment. The Lordaeron treasury will be used first, and then whoever takes the land of Alterac will be divided according to their share."

Double that's 10 million gold coins.

Even Duke Charmash, who was used to big scenes, couldn't help but bared his teeth and felt pain when he heard this.

They didn't believe that Duke would abandon Watchfort, which he spent so much effort to build, but they couldn't afford to gamble in Lordaeron.

In fact, Duke really didn't ask for more than 10 million gold coins.

In order to upgrade technology, as the main supplier of raw materials and workers, the Bronzebeard dwarves are actually selling everything they can. If we don't build Nethergarde Keep and Redridge Fortress, we must first kneel down to the Kingdom of Stormwind and Khaz Modan. Duke is a kind man. Since the Bronzebeard Dwarf supports the Kingdom of Stormwind so firmly, how could Duke let Magni suffer?

Less than five minutes after the news came that Lordaeron promised to give 10 million, Duke sent Magni a 200-page arms purchase order worth 5 million gold coins. You know, as part of fulfilling its responsibilities as an ally, the cannons, ammunition, soldiers, and workers previously provided by Ironforge were all free of charge.

In this order, Duke directly doubled the cost price that Magni gave Duke, and then added a zero before the decimal point to purchase.

In the end, Magni was kind, or he felt it was too shameless to earn too much, so he said with a stroke of his pen, "For the sake of the alliance, let me give you a 50% discount."

Over there, the tribe has no idea that there is such a wonderful game within the alliance.

The tribe's forwards were almost scared to death.

Ner'zhul panicked and wanted to run back, but was grabbed by the death knight Tyron* Bloodfiend!

"Idiot! Calm down! It's too late! The Dark Portal has been opened. We have angered the Alliance. If we go back like this, the Alliance will rush into our world and kill us all. It is important to complete the mission first. .”

"Mission!? Do we still have hope?"

"Yes! Your hope is me!" A sudden voice broke in, and it was a strangely pronounced orc language. Following the direction of the voice, Ner'zhul saw a stern-faced human standing near Death. Among the knights.
