Chapter 335 It’s your own fault
Leach gently turned off the video. The information sent back by this team of priests was the most complete, clearly showing the power of the orcs. Compared with other teams of priests, they were undoubtedly lucky. Although they encountered The enemies they arrived were also very powerful, but they did not encounter a complete regular orc force. In the presence of strong men who did not break their limits, they were completely invincible. This was also the difference between the priests and ordinary strong men.
A cleric can be said to be on par with other non-clergymen in terms of strength. However, with the complete cooperation of various clergy professions, those who cannot crush them will all be defeated by the clergy. It will become extremely difficult.
"Your Majesty the King, the enemy's situation is here. It's time for the Kingdom to declare a full-scale war." Leach said softly.
But Ryan and Lothar felt numb in their hearts. They saw the blood and violence of the orcs. This was not something that the Kingdom of Stormwind could deal with alone.
However, thinking that the Holy Church would send support in a few days, he was no longer so desperate. After all, the video clearly showed how difficult the priests were. Thinking of the roar of the orc leader, Ryan was once again glad that he did not Fall out with the Holy Church, otherwise the kingdom will not only face the attacks of the orcs, but also face an enemy more terrifying than the orcs.
Ryan relaxed his face slightly, "Okay! I will convene the cabinet right away and initiate the kingdom into a state of war."
Half an hour later, in the Kingdom of Stormwind Fortress, all the nobles and ministers of the Kingdom were summoned in a huge conference room. A huge map of the Kingdom of Stormwind was placed on the huge conference table. Anduin, Lothar, He eloquently explained to many nobles the dangers the kingdom was about to face.
The nobles' expressions were full of strangeness, "Your Majesty, I don't think that a conflict in a remote area of the kingdom can put the entire kingdom into a state of emergency war. Please think twice, your Majesty."
The old Duke stood up and said with an indifferent expression. The other nobles also nodded.
Not to mention that in the past between the church and the nobles, the king stood on the side of the church. Over the past few months, the nobles have been full of resentment. Once the kingdom enters a state of war, this will definitely affect the interests of the nobles. This is a great harm, because once war enters, the king can easily levy war taxes from all nobles, and the private soldiers of each noble will also be recruited by the kingdom, and even their own territory may be directly governed.
I had grievances in my heart, but now it comes out. This is simply worse than killing them.
Lothar saw that he had been talking for a long time, but these nobles didn't take it seriously at all, and he felt very angry instantly. Ryan also felt helpless. Although the king had great power, the nobles of the kingdom could also influence the kingdom through their fiefdoms and power. After all, the king can only order the nobles, but cannot directly order the knights and servants of the nobles. This means that if Ryan wants to launch the recruitment of the kingdom, he must talk to the nobles in the conference room.
After endless wrangling, this war could only be defined as a local war without more information and more losses.
Lothar was so angry that he slammed the door and left. At this moment, he was extremely disappointed with the nobles of the kingdom.
However, just when the nobles arrogantly thought that they had finally gained the upper hand in the fight with the king, they went home one by one to raise their glasses and start the banquet.
The orcs, who suffered their first setback in the battle with the priests at Ridgeback Mountain, were unable to attack for a long time and directly bypassed the important checkpoint of Ridgeback Mountain. With the strong physical strength of the orcs, they directly crossed the backbone of Ridgeback Mountain with a small force. Natural danger, entering Elwynn Forest.
When the first noble was massacred by orcs, all the nobles began to panic at this moment. They could not imagine how hundreds of human strongholds in Elwynn Forest could resist these monsters without natural protection. Invasion. You must know that these places are the territories of nobles.
However, the madness of the orcs far exceeded their imagination. In a short period of time, more than 20 noble territories close to Ridgeback Mountain were brutally slaughtered. The nobles who had no time to evacuate, or those who had a lucky mentality, died in their own territories. .
Fortunately, because they were close to the front line, the priests gathered the local people in advance, which naturally encountered a wave of resistance from the nobles. However, with the tough attitude of the church and the order issued by the king, the nobles He could only watch with anger as the priests evacuated most of the people in the territory. As for those people who are unwilling to follow the priests, the priests will naturally not force them. The danger has been clearly stated. Whether they are willing to listen or not is their own business.
This large-scale death of nobles caused the entire kingdom to fall into panic. At this moment, even the slow nobles understood that the kingdom was in danger. In just half a day, all the nobles unified their opinions.
One by one, they clamored to protect the kingdom and kill those damn monsters.
Once again, they came to the meeting room of the Kingdom of Stormwind. At this moment, all the nobles lowered their arrogant heads. After all, they were the ones who made the argument in the first place, and now they are the ones who asked the king to enter a state of emergency war.
Ryan looked at the silent nobles without saying a word. He sat silently at the head of the conference room, his eyes lightly scanning these glamorous nobles. At this moment, he was thinking about what Leach said. Maybe it was time to Take action.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if the Tirisfal Council has been notified this time." The old Duke asked slightly embarrassed.
"Notified, but no response." Ryan replied calmly.
"Your Majesty, we have to find a way to ask for help from other human kingdoms. Otherwise, the strength of the Stormwind Kingdom alone will not be a match for those monsters." The old Duke no longer has the arrogance he had before. He now just wants to drive away those who have invaded his territory. Monster, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to eat.
"Do you think I didn't do these things? If there were reinforcements, I would still be like this." Ryan glanced at the old Duke indifferently.
The husband's expression condensed, and an extreme sense of shame surged into his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "When your Majesty's kingdom is at stake, I feel that we should gather all the forces of the kingdom as soon as possible to drive away these barbaric monsters. For this kingdom's territory."
"Am I the king of this kingdom, or are you the king? Are your private soldiers just living at home? Most of the kingdom's troops are now stationed at Ridgeback Mountain. We are dispatching troops from there now and then. We asked you to If you enter a state of war, you must say that it is just a remote local war and let the kingdom resolve it on its own.
Now come and tell me to assemble the troops. I tell you, once Ridgeback Mountain is lost, that will be the real crisis for the kingdom. What you are facing now is still a small orc army. There are at least ten such monsters in Ridgeback Mountain. Ten thousand. "Ryan scolded, causing all the nobles present to look ashamed and angry.
Seeing the ugly expressions on the nobles' faces, the depression that had been weighing in Ryan's heart for the past few days was wiped away. "You know, the reason why Ridgeback Mountain has not been lost is because of the heretics you say, those priests." We must stick to the Back Mountain, otherwise the kingdom would be over long ago just by relying on you wastes. I heard that some nobles began to intensify their oppression of the civilians after the priests withdrew. I hope you will do well by then! Don’t say that I, the king, will not save you.”
After speaking, Ryan ignored the livid-faced nobles in the conference room, stood up and walked out of the conference room. He was completely tired of wrangling with these nobles. One day, the power that can truly support the continued existence of the kingdom will be It is coming, and when the time comes, all the orcs and nobles who have done evil in the kingdom will not end well.
