World of Warcraft Resurrected Stormgard

Chapter 2 War Preparation
"Marshal Auslet, what's the status of the conscription?" After Prince Garlin Trollbane gave a speech in the Royal Plaza of Stromgarde, the conscription was announced immediately. In order to defend the Kingdom of Stromgard, the conscription was announced. The mobilized people of Stromgarde actively fought to save their lives and join the army.

Marshal Oslet, the Marshal of the Kingdom of Stromgard who rose up with Thoras Trollbane. Although his reputation is not very high, it was he and the old king Thoras Trollbane who created a great empire. The Stromgarde militia is inferior to Stormwind's Brotherhood of Ironhorse.

He has extremely strong abilities in command and training. Unfortunately, because of the sword and magic world of Azeroth, where personal strength has been infinitely amplified, Marshal Auslet's strength is limited to the peak of the ninth level, and his reputation has gradually been suppressed. .

Garin Trollbane's declaration yesterday also inspired this old marshal, who is nearly fifty years old. At this moment, he is as energetic as a general in his prime. "Prince, with your encouragement yesterday, a large number of people joined the army. Originally, those who were like me The retired veterans have all returned, and even a large number of women have joined the army enthusiastically. After my selection and excluding some unsuitable ones, our army has regained its strength of [-]."

"Fifty thousand..." Garin Trolbane stroked his chin and pondered. This number had far exceeded his expectations, because the aging Kingdom of Stromgard now only has a total population of less than 30. , and there are only a little over [-] left in the Royal City of Stromgarde.

"Very well, Marshal Auslet, I have learned that what is attacking us is not the main force of the fallen prince Arthas Menethil, but a partial force. Coupled with the advantage of Thoradin's Wall, I think We can definitely win."

Since it turns out that in history, Garin Trollbane, who was only at the peak of the ninth level, could win without the blessing of Tokaral, although he must have paid a huge sacrifice, this made him firmly believe that he could definitely win, But it can't be a miserable victory, but a big victory.

Because since he inherited everything from Garin Trollbane, he must revitalize the Kingdom of Stromgard, so he must use a great victory against the Scourge to tell all the forces in the Eastern Kingdom that Stormgard The Kingdom of M'garde has not yet declined, so that the exile of the people of Stromgarde can be stopped, and they can be called upon to return home, and the people of Lordaeron, Alterac and Dalaran can take refuge.

"That's great, prince. As expected, Emperor Arathor is still looking after his descendants." Even the strongest human kingdom of Lordaeron and the mysterious kingdom of Quel'Thalas failed to block the attack of the Scourge. Marshal Slater originally wanted to accompany the Kingdom of Stromgard to death in battle, but he immediately became excited when he heard the news.

"Marshal Oslet, how about our armament? Can it satisfy the arming of recruits? I don't want my brave people to fight against the Scourge without armor protection." Thirty thousand recruits undoubtedly need new weapons Only those who are armed can be regarded as civilians. Those who are unarmed can only be regarded as civilians. With weapons and equipment, they are the real militia.

Hearing Prince Garlin Trollbane's concerned inquiry, Marshal Auslet felt warm in his heart. Perhaps such a prince who cares about the people of Stromgarde may surpass the old king Thoras Trollbane in the future.

"Don't worry, prince. At the end of the second war, although we did not obtain the land of the Kingdom of Alterac, we obtained the arms of the Kingdom of Alterac through the efforts of King Thoras Trollbane. , enough to arm our new soldiers." For the rebellious Kingdom of Alterac, it was divided between Lordaeron, Stromgarde and Gilneas. Lordaeron received land, Gilneas received money, and Sri Lanka Tomgad received a stockpile of weapons.

"That's good." With weapons and equipment, you have the basic strength to fight against the Scourge. The people of Stromgarde are the most martial in the Alliance. Arathi Highlands has tempered the will of the people of Stromgarde. It can be said that the Alliance is produced here. The most powerful soldiers, so the troops of the Kingdom of Stromgard call themselves militia troops, because every people who takes up arms and puts on armor will be a qualified soldier.

"I've seen the royal treasury of Stromgarde. It's terrible. My father, King Thoras Trollbane, had already asked the Kingdom of Stromgard to support the Kingdom of Lordaeron in setting up an orc shelter. The finances have plummeted, and supporting Jaina Proudmoore and the shameless Osmar Garithos has emptied the last gold coin in the treasury. Marshal Auslet, we need gold coins to support this war, even if My people volunteered to become warriors to defend their homeland, and we should also pay them the gold coins they deserve, and we need to create and buy more supplies to fight the coming Scourge." Although Old King Thoras Trollbane He was rated as a hero, but he was really aggressive, otherwise the Kingdom of Stromgard would not have declined so much. A series of stupid actions after middle age even hollowed out the Kingdom of Stromgard. "Prince, I am willing to give up all my family property. This was given to me by the old king. I am willing to give everything for the Kingdom of Stromgard." Marshal Oslet thought that Prince Garin Trolbane was He wanted his own help, so he immediately planned to spend all his property.

"No, Marshal Auslet, you misunderstood me." Although Garin Trollbane wanted the help of nobles like Marshal Auslet, he did not want to hollow them out, but spoke out about himself The method is "Marshal Auslett, I want to levy a war tax, and I hope every noble can donate to this war. Of course, it would be better for you, Marshal Auslett, to take the lead. At the same time, I want to make a loan with the goblins in Booty Bay."

Garlin Trollbane told his own method. Asking for help from the nobles will inevitably cause a backlash. If he can defeat the Scourge, even if it is a partial victory, then Stromgarde will never be able to unite the Stonefist Ogres and Deadwood. The Troll Syndicate organization can be defeated. The rapid fall of Stromgarde and the large number of Stromgarde nobles and people joining the Syndicate are probably due to the original Garlin Trollbane's demands for the nobility and his harsh demands. caused by taxation.

Marshal Auslet's talent mainly lies in commanding and training, but his years of experience with the nobles told him that this method is absolutely feasible, and I believe that the nobles and the people will accept it, so he replied, "Prince, your method is feasible. But those cunning goblins won't lend money to us easily, and they definitely want to squeeze us dry."

Most races in Azeroth have a great prejudice against goblins, especially humans, so even if the strength of goblins spreads all over Azeroth, and there are several powerful trade princes, the human kingdoms of the alliance have almost no contact with them. They cooperate.

"Perhaps, just because they are greedy for money, they will be more reliable than our hypocritical allies, Marshal Auslet." Garin Trollbane naturally does not hate goblins, and indeed, as he said, money-greedy goblins are more reliable than those who are greedy for money. I don’t know how much better hypocritical politicians are.

"In my treasure house, there are still some artifacts passed down by Emperor Thoradin. I will use them as collateral to lend money to the goblins. I think they will agree." As the direct successor of the Arathor Empire, Storm The treasure house of the Kingdom of Gard contains artifacts inherited from mankind.

"No! Prince, that is the basis for our Kingdom of Stromgard to maintain its legitimacy." Marshal Oslet heard this and immediately dissuaded him.

Garin Trollbane stretched out his hand to signal Marshal Auslet to stop trying to dissuade him. "Marshal Auslet, our people, are more important than those so-called artifacts. The symbolic artifacts are gone. I can take them back, but we Once our people are gone, they will be lost forever. I have made up my mind, and I hope you will not continue to obstruct me."

"This..." Marshal Auslet still couldn't accept it, but when he saw the firm look in Prince Garlin Trollbane's eyes, he finally nodded. He was born as a civilian and rose up in the army, and he recognized the young prince in front of him more.
