In the eyes of others, in this coronation ceremony, apart from Emperor McDonald, the three kings were the most glorious.
Only the three of them, as kings, know that they, as kings, are worthless.
It has no diplomatic power, administrative power, and most of the tax collection power is not in its own hands.
The only thing that can show off is that it is allowed to maintain a private army of no more than 30,000 people, and it can enjoy a large number of judicial immunity regulations.
The so-called feudal system is more like a traditional form.
McDonald's has long since outsmarted the whole country.
Alsace didn't want to be crowned king in the first place, so that didn't matter to him. Lao Mo was relatively simple, so it didn't matter to him. Kaizi was a little shy at first, but he had never had any backbone and was used to kneeling on his knees.
In addition, it is difficult for these three countries to become independent.
Not to mention Icecrown, which can freeze even if you urinate in mid-air, the remaining Tirisfal Glades and Quel'Thalas were the places that were most damaged by the Scourge.
[Scar of Death] is no joke.
No matter how you purify the land and revive it, its fertility is incomparable to the large natural granary in Andorhal.
Tirisfal Glades was the former granary of Lordaeron. After most of the land transformation, it is now poisonous and can barely be used to grow things. As for the fertility of the land, it is probably only a little better than the limestone mountain fields.
.
Has the wool harvest been good in recent years?
Isn't it just using the [Golden Fertilizer] produced in Stratholme and the latest version, grafted seeds?
As long as McDonald is willing, if Lao Mo is really disobedient, he can choke him at any time.
Just in case, before giving Lao Mo a crown, Macdonald had already redrawn the boundaries of the territory. Historically, the large beach to the west of the Scarlet Monastery, now the northern port, became the direct line of the Mai family.
Got it.
No matter what, you can't be blocked by your own vassals at the entrance to the sea!
It's almost the same in Quel'Thalas. Without the elves' traditional way of supporting the city with a large number of forests, the elves can only turn into a farming race. In this place with almost no food, they now make a small amount of money by building heavy industries such as Gundam.
, and then buy grain from Stratholme to feed the people.
Not to mention, if you don't consider the ore supply and other issues, this thing is really a huge profit.
Even if you work at the official purchase price given by McDonald's, the money earned from a Gundam can be exchanged for food, which is enough to feed and drink Kaizi's 100,000 citizens for a month.
The long-eared people became rich again, and they all smiled happily.
Stratholme himself was happy, and so were his close friends. Stromgard received a large order to hunt elemental monsters in the Arathi Highlands to expand the types of weapons for the humanoid mechas.
In the past, a single fire element could be obtained with Molten Core. The other three elements could not be obtained.
Stratholme's high-priced acquisition gave the Arathi people a new way to make money. They suddenly felt that their barren land didn't seem so bad after all.
Gilneas has been doing well recently. A new enclave has provided ordinary citizens with a safer place to live and thrive. Old Jean even borrowed a low-interest loan from Mai with an annual interest rate of 1%.
, bought over a hundred boats from the Kul Tirans for the purpose of migrating their citizens.
If I had to say who was the worst, it would probably be Kul Tiras.
The people of Kul Tiran have the habit of running ships all over the world, allowing 70% of their ships to escape when their homeland is attacked.
Their hometown was confiscated and they were unable to return home, which made them miserable.
The boat needs repairs.
In Howling Fjord, the shipyard is ready. When the Eastern Front Army of the Kingdom of Stormwind landed in the crusade against the Lich King, the port built and the shipyard built were all built by the Stratholme engineering team. After replacing Theramore
At that time, these were also replaced.
Modern ship maintenance requires a large number of spare parts, which requires a large number of supporting factories.
Boats also need oil.
The impoverished Gianna was so anxious that she ran to McDonald's every two days, hoping to convince McDonald's so that she wouldn't have to pay the bill.
McDonald's here simply closed its doors and stopped seeing customers.
It's November and the weather is getting colder.
A biting cold wind is blowing in Stratholme City. Of course, this has nothing to do with Mr. Mai. The [Lava Core] outer armor hanging on his castle is an effective wide-area heating.
Interestingly, the Stratholme family's castle allocated a tower to Alsace as the king's residence.
People who don't understand think it's shabby, but those who understand know it's the emperor's favor.
Early that morning, about ten meters apart, McDonald and Eridizu saw each other at the window of the opposite tower. They were both sitting sideways, with only their arms and chest exposed.
"Morning, Alsace!"
"Brother, morning! Well." The second idiot's expression was a bit strange.
The second fool rested his left arm on the warm window sill. The muscles on his face twitched slightly from time to time, and his smile looked stiff.
It's different here, McDonald's is relaxed and comfortable: "Alsace! There are some things, you have to relax and get used to it."
"Well, ah, yes, brother is right."
"You don't have to rush to your shabby territory, your sister said. If you don't get a child, you will never want to go to Northrend in this life."
"Uh, it's me, that..." Alsace seemed to be excited.
While McDonald was grinning evilly, he used the corner of his eye to catch a glimpse of the window sill about 20 centimeters in front of the second fool's chest. There were the tips of a pair of dragon horns and a strand of green hair passing by.
McDonald first greeted: "Oni."
"Um."
A white and tender arm stretched out and closed the curtain.
Over there, the two idiots were relieved.
There are some things that he just can't get used to!
Not long after, during breakfast time, Kalia shyly asked McDonald: "Alsace, what's wrong with him?"
"No, he was having breakfast on the top of the tower."
Kalia gave McDonald a rare kick under the table: "I'm asking you something serious."
"Well, don't be too rigid about your race. There is probably hope."
"..."
Here, the alliance begins to cultivate and recuperate.
Over there, the tribe is undergoing a sudden change.
Sal received a secret report. After reading it, he was stunned for a long time and said to himself: "Did I do something wrong?"
After a while, he summoned Wojin and handed over the secret report.
After watching it, Vol'jin was speechless for a long time. It wasn't until Thrall stared at him that he sighed: "Warchief, are you ready for a fight to the death?"
Thrall's mouth was full of bitterness, and he grinded his rough teeth: "The Horde has not, but the Alliance has obviously done a good job."
Next to them, there was another stack of military reports, which clearly stated that the Alliance army was gathering towards the continent of Kalimdor.
This is not a general mobilization of the alliance's military strength. At most, less than a quarter of the troops have been mobilized. It is 'just' the return of the Stratholme First Army to the Green Forest Fortress, the Third Army to gather in the Cross Fortress, and then the Golden Sword Port and Yu
There is an additional fleet outside the Moon Fortress.
Even so, it is not something the current tribe can afford.
Whether the alliance fights or not, no messengers or announcements have been sent. Thrall didn't understand it before, but after seeing this secret report from Thunder Bluff, he understood.
