Chapter 414 Turning Hands Into Clouds (Part 1)
What is the second option?
After the first choice was made, did everyone realize what the so-called second choice was?
Almost every nobleman and every general's face was instantly as pale and bloodless as a dead man.
Rape?
How can this be! ?
It's not that no one has raped people, and the Bloodsail Pirates have done it too, and it turned out that they were blackmailed. Not only did Duke, the deputy commander of the alliance, testify to this, the Bloodsail Fleet also sent more than 100,000 orcs to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, washing away their shame.
Now, his own king actually hinted that Alterac would surrender, or worse, go to the Horde?
How can this be! ?
General Haas straightened his body, his heavy breathing made his thick gray beard flutter: "We are part of the Nine Nations of the Alliance, and we have sworn to fight the evil Horde together with other nations."
"Alliance? What can the Alliance do?" King Aiden waved his arms violently: "I sent fifteen urgent distress letters to Lothar. Every time Lothar told me, 'The Alliance is in the Silverpine Forest' The front army can't mobilize more troops, I hope Alterac will coordinate with Deputy Commander Marcus'."
When Aiden said this, every general and nobleman pricked up their ears.
"Okay, in the most humble tone, I ask for help from that kid with no hair on his mouth. Guess how he dealt with me? Ten thousand soldiers of Stormwind Kingdom and ten thousand soldiers of Lordaeron? Hell! They are in They were all farmers three weeks ago, and it will take a week at the earliest to reach Alterac. Bastard! The main force of the Horde is already under our noses!"
Duke Barov frowned.
General Haas seemed to want to argue for Duke: "Your Majesty, you know, the mountain roads in Alterac have always been very bad. From receiving the news to sending reinforcements, Your Excellency Marcus has done his best..."
"Shut up! Haas!" Aiden demanded loudly, "It's that brat's job to detect the enemy's movement! If he can't do it, he's negligent! Where are they now when Alterac needs the alliance? Let me tell you, not here! Seven days!? Will they come to collect our bodies after seven days?"
Facing the threat of death, the nobles of Alterac trembled.
"We can stick to the end, with Alterac's terrain."
"Hold on?" The king sneered, and his next move made their fear even higher.
With a wave of his hand, a frozen orc 'specimen' that had been dead for a long time was pushed in by the guards through the side door.
Aiden used very vivid examples to show what all the noble orcs looked like at high speed.
"My God! They're as tall as a troll, but as strong as two trolls!"
"Hell, look at his muscular body, his sharp fangs, can he eat people?"
When the three guards lifted a huge warhammer in with great force, threw it on the ground, and crushed the floor tiles with a bang. All the nobles were pale and their eyeballs were protruding, staring at the cracks that spread on the floor tiles.
The king's voice sounded again.
"See? My vassals! It took three men to lift their hammers, and these guys smashed our soldiers' shields like a child's toy! No one can stand against them! Seven days !? Are you kidding! Seven days is enough time for them to kill us all three times! They have destroyed Stormwind City, half of Quel'Thalas, and the entire Arathi Highlands. If we don't do something, they will The next place to be destroyed is Alterac!"
A nobleman tremblingly asked: "The soldiers of the Stormwind Kingdom in our territory really can't do anything?"
"When Ryan's long-dead Stormwind Kingdom needed help, Alterac gave them food and even gave them their own land for refuge. What did Ryan do to us? For the sake of the Holy Light, they They actually reclaimed and took root on the land we lent them for refuge!"
When Aiden said this, the faces of the nobles were all bad.
It would be fine if it was simply to help refugees, but as long as the food supply was blocked, the people of the Stormwind Kingdom could be forced to serve as cannon fodder.
What now?
The refugees were rescued, but those refugees acted as if they had taken over the land and refused to leave. Open up fields and build cities, and build the camp stronger than the Broken Ridge Castle on the Alterac Mountains. Isn't this the rhythm of saving people instead of saving bandits, and the owner is driven out instead?
"We joined the alliance to gain the strength to protect our kingdom under such circumstances, but now that the Horde has come under our noses, where is our precious alliance? They have abandoned us, don't you understand? Knowing that his voice was close to hysteria, he tried to calm down: "Now is the time for each kingdom to think for itself. I must first consider the interests of Alterac. It would be the same for other kings."
What King Aiden said made sense, and the generals and nobles were speechless for a moment.
Alterac is the smallest kingdom among the seven human kingdoms, and it has no more than ten thousand soldiers. After losing several regiments, there were only more than 5,000 soldiers and less than 100,000 citizens left in Alterac. It is impossible to be the opponent of the main force of the tribe who is like a wolf and a tiger.
"My general, my vassal, the situation has changed." Aiden reminded everyone, and he also noticed that he was sweating-almost everyone below noticed this: "We don't have many choices For example, Alterac is no longer part of the alliance from now on. Believe me, this road is almost the only option for us. Like a non-aggression pact, we will not interfere with their activities in the mountains march while they keep the kingdom of Alterac unscathed."
Everyone below was taken aback, and the violent commotion spread rapidly.
Most of the generals seemed to be in disgust, anger or grief, while the faces of the nobles were uncertain.
"Your Majesty! You are forcing us to become slaves to those cruel, bloodthirsty beasts that can only slaughter cities."
"Sign a contract with those beasts? Your Majesty, are you sure they won't be hungry and eat us first?"
Aiden was acutely aware of the change in thinking among his vassals.
"I am grateful that Orgrim Doomhammer, Warchief of the Horde, is a great leader who can speak the Common Tongue and is extremely wise. I have obtained his promise to not attack us, as our way of not cutting off their way forward. Exchange. Please note that we have no choice. Everyone, sign the following agreement agreeing to our next actions, and let us Alterac people meet our own destiny together."
