Necromancer in another world

Chapter 648
Dividing the cake is also a complicated science. Everyone wants to get a big enough piece, but the cake is only so big. Who to share, how much to share, and whether the share will affect the balance between forces, etc. considerate.

In many cases, the war is not very complicated, and the real headache is the post-war problem.

For Leo, all kinds of wrangling negotiations will cause him a headache, because he is not good at this kind of thing. Fortunately, with Scarlett, the female paladin can handle these problems perfectly.

Scarlett and Leo are not at the same level in terms of personal strength, but when it comes to government affairs, Leo is far inferior to the female paladin who has been exposed to such affairs since childhood.

Deferring the negotiations with Varian, Sargas and others to Scarlett does not mean that Leo can take it easy, and he has a lot of things to arrange now.

Amaron and several officers of the Arathor Kingdom stood in front of Leo, quietly waiting for his order, while Leo was reclined on the reclining chair with half-closed eyes, and Sinesaraya's hands were on his shoulders Gently pressing, Mannoroth, who was carrying a bloody double-headed spear, and Dragonakos, who was wandering in the sky, separated on both sides.

Although this is the palace of Stromgarde, there is Arathor's palace guard outside and the dragon blood guard led by Viri to guard it closely, but Leo still has no slack in the slightest. Now he is in the period of recuperation and it is not suitable to fight with others. And after the battle at Heishi Mountain, he didn't know if there were enemies spying on him in the dark, so he had to be careful about his own safety.

Pasonia kept saying that someone was spying on his every move in the dark. Although she didn't find him out, Leo didn't doubt her judgment.

"Amaron." After waiting for a long time, Leo finally spoke, and Amarun and several other officers immediately raised their spirits, "Is there any problem with the dispatch of the navy?"

"Master Marshal, the dispatch of the navy has been completed, and people have been dispatched to occupy the two new islands that have appeared according to the location you mentioned. Apart from being attacked by murlocs on the way, the fleet has not had any other accidents."

The murloc attack was only a small problem. The Stromgarde navy that was going to the two new islands was trained by the Kul Tiras navy anyway. Even if they were new recruits, they were enough to deal with the murlocs. Leo was not worried about this. , what he worried about was whether Arathor's soldiers could gain a firm foothold on those two desolate islands.

The two new islands were all formed by cooling hot lava, and there was no grass growing on them, except for the cold and hard rocks, which were hard and cold rocks. It was not easy to stand on such a place.However, Leo felt that this was a kind of training for the soldiers. If there was enough food, clothing and fresh water, those who couldn't bear it didn't need to stay in the navy system that was bound to be reused.

"Where are the materials needed to develop the new island, have they been shipped?"

The area of ​​the two new islands is very large, adding up to half of the Arathi Highlands. This shows how terrifying the amount of lava accumulated by the Balrog over the years in the Black Rock Mountain is.Naturally, it is impossible not to develop two islands with such a large area. It would be too expensive to leave them bare, and to develop two large islands and make them a place suitable for human habitation would inevitably transport a large amount of food. Materials, some of these materials must be purchased through the goblins and the other part will be resolved by Arathor himself.

"The kingdom has recruited enough fleets to transport various materials such as soil, vegetation, animals, etc., and I believe that the development of the new island will take shape in two months."

It was still Amaron who answered Leo. This female warrior with outstanding commanding skills has never discounted Leo and Scarlett's orders since she joined the Lothar family. The order developed by Niijima did not understand but was still executed perfectly.

Amaron is a soldier, and the army is not a place that emphasizes individuality and human rights. There is only one kind of person that is most needed there, and that is soldiers who obey orders. Gain Leo's trust quickly.

"Master Marshal, according to the news sent by the navy soldiers stationed on the new island, several druids of the Cenarion Council seem to be very interested in your development of the new island, and they want to stay on the new island for a while Day, how do you think about it?"

Someone from the Cenarion Circle?

Leo opened his eyes. The news about Fandral Staghelmet is quite well-informed. The Cenarion Council responded in just a few days from the establishment of the new island to the present, and the efficiency is indeed high enough.It's just that Fandral... Forget it, it's fine if you keep a close eye on it.

"People from the Cenarion Council are willing to stay there to help and let them live there. It happens that the natural spells of the Druids are very useful for the growth of vegetation. With them, the time for us to develop a new island will be shortened a lot."

Others who are willing to help Leo will naturally not push the druids out, not to mention that if the other party refuses, Fandral, who expressed his kindness to Arathor, will not be able to step down, thus giving him an excuse to turn against him. Niijima's help cannot be refused by Leo.

"South Sea Town has sent envoys to Stromgarde, and they have a lot of opinions on our sending troops to station and develop the new island."

South Sea Town’s protests were within everyone’s expectations, but under the general trend, Arathor’s pace of expansion will not be changed by small protests, not to mention Leo, and even Amaron’s protest against them is not a response However, unless the Kingdom of Arathor is willing to stop here, expansion will be inevitable, so friction with Southsea Town will inevitably occur.

"Don't worry about them, just send someone to deal with it. It's not a problem to occupy the wetlands without Ironforge and Stormwind City hindering us, but it's not the center of our expansion. Let’s collect the resources, get the Hillsbrad Hills first and then talk about the others.”

After waving his hand, Leo gestured for Amaron to say the next thing.

To be honest, Leo is not greedy for wetland resources, who wouldn't want such a large area?But the problem is that there is Grim Batol, Grim Batol, who is lurking in Deathwing and secretly creating the Twilight Dragon. Because once the upper boulder dam bursts, the wetland will turn into a vast ocean, and as much as Arathor invests will be washed away, and the boulder dam bursting is almost inevitable when Deathwing launches.

Of course, Leo can also gather a group of people to stop Deathwing, but the possibility of this kind of thing happening is too low. If Alexa and other four dragon kings don't take action to stop Deathwing, Leo asks himself if he can do it Now, how can Arathor rise up in Stormwind City without Deathwing making such a big fuss?

"The next thing is about the Silver Crusade. Sir Fording sent a message that the situation in the Plaguelands is deteriorating. Although the Scourge was taken from Naxxramas in the Battle of Tyre, they The threat of the Maddenhold has been captured, and Iselion and the Scarlet Crusade loyal to him have become the lackeys of the Scourge. Nathanos had no time to deal with them, and Rivendell of Stratholme led people to guard the northern sentry tower, and controlled Quellins and Zuma Shar with heavy troops. The connection between the blood elves and the Plaguelands has been opened, and now the area controlled by the Silver Crusade is shrinking in the attack of the Scourge."

This is bad news, Leo frowned.

It stands to reason that after losing Naxxramas, the aerial fortress, the Scourge should show a decline, but the facts are completely opposite. The Silver Crusade and other forces that should have taken advantage of the situation to counterattack only achieved some results in the early stages of the war, and then Although they were not defeated in the battle, they spit out the fruits of victory one by one under the opponent's offensive.

There is only one reason for this anomaly—the Scourge's highest commander in the Plaguelands has changed.

When Kel'Thuzad was in charge of Naxxramas, the war situation in the Plaguelands was controlled by this archlich. Now Kel'Thuzad is hiding somewhere to recover from his injuries. Mograine, who leads the Knights of the Ebon Blade, will take over as a matter of course. took his place.

Compared with Kel'Thuzad, the Ash Lord who established the Scarlet Crusade and led them to victories is obviously much more professional in warfare. Mograine, who has completely degenerated, is not like Kel'Thuzad. As the leader of the army, he took action when it was time to do so, and he and the Ebon Knights would appear in the most intense battles.

In the war against the Scourge army that doesn't know that fatigue has the numerical advantage, even if there is a strong Silver Crusader like Fording, they still have to retreat and retreat. If it weren't for the blood elves holding Rivendell of Stratholme Well, if the goblins hadn't participated in the war in the Plaguelands, the situation in the Plaguelands would have been corrupted.

But now Fording sent a message to Stromgarde for help, inferring that the Silver Crusaders were almost unable to survive under the attack of the Ebon Blade Knights.

"It's really troublesome, the lingering Scourge, why is he running out to join in the fun at this time."

Leo rubbed the center of his brows, one wave after another, he thought Kel'Thuzad's Scourge would settle down after robbing Naxxramas and seriously injuring him, but Mograine arrived, the situation in the Plaguelands Not only did it not get better, but it slipped into a bad situation.

"Reply to Fording and ask him to lead the Silver Crusade for a few days. Scarlett and I will send reinforcements to Tyr's Hand soon."

Amaron looked at Leo with some anxiety, she thought for a while and then reminded: "Master Marshal, we are going to develop a new island, Booty Bay is also at war, and the plan to attack Atonement Island has been put on the agenda, plus There must be enough manpower in the country to defend and rebuild, and now there is no army to send, unless Naxxramas is withdrawn."

Having said so much, Amaron actually meant the same thing. Arathor's stalls were too large, and his troops could no longer keep up with the expansion of the kingdom.

There are no soldiers!
Leo was stunned, Arathor didn't have enough troops to send, so how to support the Silver Crusaders who were fighting against the Scourge in the Plaguelands?
A big problem lay in front of Leo.
