Chapter 296 Five Heroes of the Expeditionary Army (2 more)
MacDonald now attends throne meetings, usually with Rivendell and Alleria, representing his two major factions: the local knights and elves.
Rivendell was still in the Swamp of Sorrows at this time, and Alleria was the only one beside him.
Just as she was about to move, McDonald secretly grabbed her palm.
"What?" Feng Zhiyu asked.
"The expedition itself is fine, but there is something demonic about Lordaeron."
Aurelia is a very independent woman. She immediately understood that McDonald had a more important task for her.
This is the trust accumulated after one incident after another, especially after the "Book of Medivh" incident, she knew better that McDonald had information that he could not tell her.
Of course McDonald knew that this was tantamount to weakening Alleria in disguise.
In the original history, Alleria would gain the power of the void and become a void elf. The power of the void cannot be said to be weak. At that time, many elves in Silvermoon City tried to master the corrupted magic of the void. As a result, most of those who did so ended up falling into
went crazy.
The whisper of the void that is always lingering in the ears of the void elves is similar to the whisper of the ancient gods, it is true that it is a few levels weaker.
The key is...ugly!
After Alleria became a void elf, her skin still looked like a high elf normally. The key is that after the explosion, her dark blue skin looked similar to that of a draenei, maybe a little darker.
At the same time, he is full of black energy. If you say it is a devil, McDonald will believe it.
As a pretty girl, McDonald couldn't accept that a pretty elf girl turned into such a ghost.
When added together, it is calculated in units of ten years.
McDonald's decisively chose to sacrifice the tool elf Halduron.
The ensuing throne meeting is all about wrangling and toothpaste squeezing.
The kings took turns calling him poor, and McDonald continued to pretend to be dead under the guise of a refugee.
After turning around for more than half a circle, Turalyon deeply understood Lothar's original predicament - it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
The deputy commander of the alliance is just a guy who goes around begging for alms with a bowl.
If all countries, especially Lordaeron, don't reward us with a small amount of money, the Alliance can't do anything.
It has become a habit for everyone to focus on Lordaeron. Generally speaking, the investment ratio is, if Lordaeron is 10, Dalaran will provide 7, and then each company will probably contribute 2333 or something.
National strength determines everything.
As everyone knows, Lao Taizi is feeling aggrieved now. How can he have any money or food?
As a native of Lordaeron, Turalyon had to take a stand.
"The Seventh and Eighth Legions of the Royal Family of Lordaeron are waiting for the orders of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief."
Many big guys looked like they were constipated on the spot.
The Wang Family Legion sounds scary, but anyone with some common sense knows that this is the newly formed cannon fodder army.
Okay, the ball is over.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to the second richest man.
"Haldulun Brightwing will lead the Fourth Ranger Group at his disposal."
Turalyon was a bit sluggish and bloodthirsty, and none of Stratholme's four main battle legions were sent out. He even sent rangers to appear. Who doesn't know that the strongest rangers under McDonken are the three Windrunner sisters.
, who would have thought that Mai Zhen couldn't find a single one now, so he sent a waiter.
Rich man! You have changed!
Turalyon was a deep man, and he couldn't help it anymore: "Sir Stratholme, can you think about it again?"
"No soldier can go on an expedition with peace of mind when his hometown is suffering from disaster. Your Excellency Turalyon is a great man who considers the overall situation, but the soldiers under my command are all common people. If their relatives in their hometown starve to death, they will have no intention of fighting.
.”
Everyone knows about the food shortage in Lordaeron and the fact that hundreds of thousands of people almost froze to death in winter.

The Macdonkens carried most of the refugees in Lordaeron, and everyone would be resentful.
At this time, it was Bolvar who became a good old man and stood up: "Thank you Duke Stratholme for lending a helping hand to the Kingdom of Stormwind when it was most critical. In the third year of the Dark Portal, the Kingdom of Stormwind has a surplus of food. Our country is willing to support
Food and fodder for 50,000 people for this expedition, and some of the food will be sold to Stratholme at a reasonable price."
McDonald's is in high spirits.
Hi! Lao Taizi, look, this is a good person worth investing in. What do you look like?
McDonald's face beamed: "Thank you, Mr. Fordagan, for your support. We will discuss it slowly after the meeting."
With Bolvar taking the lead in repaying the favor, everyone naturally remembered that when their family was in the worst situation, it was McDonald who extended a helping hand. Now that Stratholme Territory can no longer squeeze out anything, everyone has nothing to say.
So you squeeze a little and I throw a little.
The personnel and materials were gathered together carelessly.
What is more unexpected is that the main force of the expeditionary force became the Arathi people of Stromgard.
It's funny to say that Lordaeron has family troubles and the soldiers are not in the mood to go to war.
The Arathi people have no food at home and cannot feed their soldiers, so they have to go on an expedition. Forget about not being able to pay military salaries, they don't even have military rations. The Arathi Highlands were completely destroyed by the orcs, and the food production in the highlands was originally low.
It's even lower now.
If you don't eat the food from the alliance, even the soldiers will starve to death.
The final result was that Turayan personally led the team, with the main force being the Arathi troops from Darnas, plus Khadgar representing Dalaran, Halduron representing Stratholme, and the dwarves representing Kurdran* Wildhammer.
Basically, it's the five heroes from the King's Valley statue in Stormwind City, but replaced with Halduron.
I don’t know how the system will identify it, but in the end, McDonald’s gave these guys a symbolic reward of 50,000 gold coins.
As for the Warsong clan that attacked in Stranglethorn Valley, after the main force of the orcs retreated to the Dark Portal, they also retreated.
Grom and his people were selectively forgotten by the Alliance.
First, the environment in Stranglethorn Valley is disgusting.
Second, the Alliance was unable to launch an expedition on both fronts, so it could only temporarily let go of this orc division, which was armed with cold weapons and was not a big threat.
Time passes...
The expeditionary force initially progressed smoothly. Turalyon led his army to break through the orc defenses on the other side of the Dark Portal, enter the Hellfire Peninsula in later generations, and then sent back a large amount of intelligence about the orc world.
Then on October 3, the Dark Portal exploded.
MacDonald, who is familiar with history, naturally knows that this is when Khadgar snatched the skull of Gul'dan and asked Kurdran Wildhammer to transport this god-level magic weapon back to Azeroth, giving the Dark Portal to him.
It exploded. He also knew that none of the five heroes on the opposite side was alive.
This does not prevent Mr. Mai from hypocritically proposing to erect statues of the five people in Stratholme City.
"To be honest, the explosion of the Dark Portal is not equivalent to the explosion of the Draenor world opposite. According to the equipment I equipped Halduron, there is a high probability that he will survive. But this does not detract from his fearless spirit of sacrifice and dedication.
Hard work. I want everyone to know that Halduron fell for the Land of Stratholme."
On the third day after the news spread in the territory, MacDonald announced that Halduron would be promoted to Viscount.
Oh my god, there is even more differential treatment when erecting the statue.
In the main square of Stratholme City, the statue of Halduron is scheduled to be a shining golden bronze statue, while the other four are all stone statues.
