Menethil's Power

Chapter 196 The Four Aspects of the Kingdom
It is true that the original Ashbringer was the dream of all paladins. This weapon has many moving stories in the original timeline, and has many achievements and great reputation. It has experienced Mograine and his sons, Tirion Fordring and One or millions of Lords of Light and many others, whose radiance was once the most heroic and fearless force against darkness.

But Isaacs didn't want to copy the legendary sword to this time and space. The shape of the big hatchet is indeed very domineering, but once it becomes a standard weapon in everyone's hand, no matter how fancy the shape is, it will look very ordinary up.

Of course, the more important reason is the weapon itself. Weapons are the most critical equipment for all fighters, and their quality greatly affects the direct combat effectiveness of their owners.The materials, enchantments, and energy cores of weapons are all good and bad, but the applicability is not the case. Everyone has different fighting habits and methods, and only the most suitable weapon is the best weapon.

The Ashbringer was created by the Bronzebeard King Magni to fight against natural disasters. It is suitable for Mograine and his son, and later for Tirion Fordring, but not necessarily for Isaacs.The swordsmanship of the young paladin is mixed with the skills of humans, elves, and pandaren, and it is almost self-contained. It is not suitable for the original Ashbringer's sword weapon, which can only be used for chopping.

And thus The Reckoning was born.

According to Isaacs' estimate, after embedding the brilliance of the silver hand, the liquidation has almost [-] to [-]% of the power of the original Ashbringer, but it can also significantly improve the ability of the radiance of the silver hand. and many enemies will have better performance.

After embedding the heart of anger, the halo range of this holy light crystal will be further increased, and will no longer slowly consume Isaacs' spiritual power, and will greatly increase the hardness of the holy weapon that Isaacs condenses .In addition, because it is already considered a different state from the crystal form, it can bless Isaacs again when he still retains the effects of the three series of blessings, that is, double the blessing superposition.

The former of these two forms is suitable for dealing with most enemies, while the latter is obviously inclined to single combat.Of course, no matter what kind of holy light crystals are installed in Qingqing, its strength is not as strong as the normal weapons forged with these two crystals as the core, but this is the price paid for the pursuit of flexibility after all.

And it's worth the price, Isaacs can't dual-wield with Titan's Grip yet, and the paladin's fighting style doesn't allow him to hold two weapons - he always needs to free up one hand to cast spells occasionally, Although the paladin's spells are almost instantaneous, it doesn't mean that they don't need any stimulating gestures.

This also reflects the value of the replaceable energy core. When Isaacs embeds the brilliance of the silver hand, he can also maintain the boost effect of the heart of anger. On the contrary, after embedding the heart of rage, he also retains the brilliance of the silver hand Ability.

Isaacs put the liquidation box back into his extra-large "miniature black hole" space package. This is his newly replaced backpack, which has a small size, a large storage capacity, and a high degree of sturdiness, and it is no longer unable to store sharp objects.

As for the original space ring, he has completely abandoned it. There are too many shortcomings in this kind of thing that was created with a slap on the head. Once it is damaged, it means that all the items inside will disappear, and after the space package is destroyed, some items will drop out at least.

This is why there are always unexpected surprises when searching for corpses. Over time, touching corpses has become the favorite thing for adventurers.

Luo Ning handed over another volume of documents, "The report you want about Kaya ore and arcane crystals and its derivative power machinery, we have tried to make it as simple as possible to the point where you only need to have basic common sense to understand it."

Isaacs nodded and looked at Matt Horner aside, "What is the current situation of the Legion?"

"Our department has completely driven the Dragonmaw orcs to a barren land." Matt reported in a deep voice. In the past two months, because the Punishment Legion was unable to participate in the search for the coach Isaacs, they could only vent their anger to flee in a hurry On the Dragonmaw Clan, "A total of more than 200 were captured, and the number of prisoners was twice that number. At least one-third of these victories were obtained by the more than [-] stalkers. The efficiency of their pursuit and slaughter is simply... ..." Mat paused, and used the most suitable word, "Shocking, especially when facing a large number of weak enemies."

Obviously, the results of the stalkers must include a large number of orc women, children and old people.

"How do you feel about these war machines?" Isaacs asked again.

"They have brought a completely subversive way of fighting. The popularity of these war machines means that the lives of soldiers are almost equal to money." Matt said immediately: "But there will still be something about them and paladins." The problem with their cooperation is that although we can cast spells collectively, we are still melee units in essence. If there is a weapon that allows us to burst out 70.00% of melee lethality from a long distance, then the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Punishment Legion will at least increase half."

"So it can form a perfect firepower configuration of short-range Paladins, mid-range Immortals, and long-range Punishers? If combined with Griffon Knights to seize the air supremacy and a large number of Stalkers wandering around, then this is indeed the most ideal combat Way," Isaacs added, looking at Mat with admiration, this extremely talented young commander has already seen the development direction of Isaacs' army plan for Lordaeron.

The prince turned to look at Luo Ning, "Did you hear that? The valuable advice from our field commander, why don't you write it down and take it back to the headquarters?"

Luo Ning was happy, "This is the main project we will develop next, but there is no progress yet."

So Matt was a little embarrassed, "I am talking too much, Your Highness."

Isaacs said that it doesn't matter at all, "The technical content of the stalker is not high, so the production line will soon be established in Lordaeron. By then, this small unmanned machine will be produced in batches. Although the immortal is expensive, But mass production is not too difficult." He continued: "But the Punisher is different, because the special barrel needs to be manufactured separately and the high-frequency percussion stone is scarce, its quantity must be extremely rare."

"Your Highness, if there are too many things like the Punisher, then the so-called unfallen cities in this world will become a joke." Luo Ning complained.Grim Batol was a solid fortress built by the Wildhammer dwarves back then, but it was completely unable to stop the shelling of even a Punisher tank.

"That's right." Isaacs nodded, feeling that he was indeed too impatient. Azeroth's fighting methods are very old-fashioned. Although the level of civilization is not low, the form of warfare is still quite primitive, even after more than 20 years. However, the Alliance and the Horde also relied on trebuchets to bombard each other.

But he couldn't help but be impatient, because there was not much time left for Lordaeron.

"This is the report you want on the trial of the three war machines, and it has also been popularized." Matt also took out a stack of papers, "In addition, Baldridge and Reinhardt have been promoted to the hero level , because they have been leading the army at the front, they cannot rush back to the royal city as quickly as I did."

"They have also upgraded?" Isaacs was really surprised. These two became paladins with him. How long has it been?To be promoted to a hero, do they have any hidden talents in the way of paladins?
Or maybe their promotion has something to do with him, Isaacs...

The young prince frowned for a while, and decided not to dwell on this issue for the time being. In any case, the sudden addition of two hero-level subordinates is a good thing, and it will also strengthen his most high-end military group in the kingdom - the Silver Hand The right to speak in the Knights.

"Let them come to Wangcheng to report to me face to face." Isaacs pondered for a while, then said to Mat, the young commander nodded to express his understanding.The prince looked at Luo Ning again, "Tell Squall that the company is almost ready to move back to Lordaeron."

Now that the biggest threat of Deathwing has been resolved, the territory of Lordaeron can basically be said to be very safe now.

"Did all the departments move back?" Luo Ning asked in surprise, knowing that it cost a huge price to develop the Lost Islands.

"No, no need." Isaacs thought for a while, "It's fine to move the production department back, and the R&D and experiment departments will continue to be in the Lost Islands."

Most of Blizzard’s products today are dangerous military items. Both research and development and experiments require strict confidentiality mechanisms and protective measures. Compared with the densely populated hinterland of Lordaeron, it is obviously more appropriate to complete these tasks on the Lost Islands .

Luo Ning expressed his understanding and resigned with Matt, leaving Isaacs and Valeera behind. When facing the female elf alone, Isaacs' serious expression relaxed a little, "Aren't you looking for those pirates in the South China Sea?" Trouble? How did you come back so quickly." He wondered.

"I used the portal." Valeera said casually, as if it wasn't a big deal.

Generally speaking, large battleships will prepare magic materials that can support small portals, so that important personnel can be evacuated or important information can be reported at critical moments.A portal that can remain stable for a certain period of time is currently the highest level of space magic technology, and it costs a lot.

Isaacs took a deep look at her, "I will reimburse the money."

Valeera was silent, and without waiting for Isaacs to say anything else, she could only nod silently.

"How far has your status among the Uncrowned reached?" Isaacs shifted the topic to business.

"I'm pretty much an intelligence chief. It's very strange why that human old man trusts me, a foreigner." Valeera replied.

"Although the Uncrowned is powerful, its members are selected from the Assassin's League after all, so it is inevitable that good and bad will be mixed together." Isaacs frowned. He remembered the premeditated attack he encountered when he left the royal city. Someone leaked. "We must have an intelligence organization of our own."

"You want me to dig the corner of the Uncrowned?" Valeera asked in surprise.

"No." Isaacs shook his head. "You don't need to leave the Uncrowned. This intelligence organization can exist directly inside it. I hope you can recruit some reliable enough people. As for the name of this secret organization." Isaacs thought for a while , a very apt name appeared in his mind, "Just call it Ghost, Ghost Agent."

Ghosts, stealthy, deadly and unpredictable, yet seemingly everywhere.

Valeera touched her chest with her right hand, and bent halfway towards Isaacs, "As you wish, my lord, I am willing to fall into darkness for you..." Her figure slowly faded until she disappeared completely.

Now Isaacs is alone.

The young prince also chose to leave, and the plain carriage drove him through the streets and into the palace.The groom drove the carriage back to the stables, while Isaacs walked quickly to the throne room. He still had very important things to do today, and the report sent by Ronin and Matt would have an effect that would affect the entire kingdom.

The training ground was quite noisy. Three or four royal guards were besieging a half-grown green-skinned orc. Although it was said to be training, those soldiers were merciless, but even so they couldn't take down the orc. When they were about to strike deadly, the orc's fingertips shone with lightning, paralyzing their bodies.

Isaacs stood aside and watched for a while, and had to lament Thrall's protagonist template, his extraordinary physical strength and combat talent, but he just went to the camp for two months, and he turned out to be a shaman apprentice.

Perhaps the experiences that Thrall must have in his life can be properly advanced a little earlier?Isaacs thought so, after all, he took the initiative to take on the task of cultivating the world Sha, and the benefits from the bronze dragon have been received, so he must do something practical.

"Double his training." Isaacs said casually to Thrall's trainer. Since the last sergeant died at the hands of Doomhammer, this position has been held by a ruthless high-ranking soldier.

After giving this order, Isaacs walked towards the throne room. At this time, not only Terenas was waiting for him in this splendid hall, but also four old men with the same gray beard. They were either tall or short, fat or Thin, but all have a dignified bearing.

Everyone in the world knew that Terenas was the absolute ruler of Lordaeron, but the king's energy was limited, and he couldn't do everything by himself, so he definitely needed helpers.The four people who hold very important powers in Lordaeron are the Minister of the Interior Victor Bartholom, the Minister of Finance Cottington Miller, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Amber Ladd, and as the Hand of the King, Uther Lightbringer is in charge of the Knights of the Silver Hand, the highest combat power in the kingdom.

Their titles are not high, the highest is a viscount, but there is no doubt that they are the most trusted people of Terenas.
