Let David choose, he must quietly farm and recuperate, wait until the strength of the Kingdom of Lordaeron has recovered to a sufficient level, and then consider the expedition to Northrend.
It's not that he loves peace, but he simply feels that unless he suppresses his strength until he is strong enough to destroy the enemy in one wave, it is difficult to achieve his goal by sending troops rashly.
"However, the threat the Lich King poses to Azeroth is too great, and it is indeed not suitable to stay there forever."
David understands that situations are different and decisions must be made based on the circumstances at that time.
The Lich King's threat to Lordaeron is not at the same level as the Kingdom of Tyran, the Temple, etc. here. If he stays in Northrend, I don't know what trouble will happen.
By then, Fording will have no "plot" advantage to rely on, and the two sides will return to playing games on equal terms, and an unexpected crisis may break out.
"..."
Fording did not interrupt and waited quietly for David's follow-up. However, after waiting for a while, David did not continue.
"Finished?"
This seems to say something, but also seems to say nothing?
Fording looked at David speechlessly. Although he knows that you are already a mature lord, you should not imitate those politicians who play tricks!
"Ahem~ Actually, I want to say that under normal circumstances, I would choose to recuperate and restore the kingdom to its prosperous age; but this time the enemy is in a special situation, so it is safer to eliminate them as soon as possible."
In other words, when faced with the problem of the Lich King, David supported Lordaeron in uniting its allies in the expedition.
"Indeed, the existence of the Lich King is too dangerous."
The Lich King Ner'zhul will not only lead the Burning Legion to Azeroth, but there is also a conspiracy from the Shadow Realm behind it. No matter from which aspect, getting rid of the Lich King as soon as possible is the right choice.
Fording had already made a decision in his mind, and after returning he tried his best to convince those who opposed the expedition. After David reminded him, he also thought of a suitable reason: If the Lich King is not eliminated, the undead natural disasters in the territory of Lordaeron will not occur.
It may be completely eliminated, because the Lich King hiding in Northrend is the source of all natural disasters.
Only by completely wiping out the Lich King can the Kingdom of Lordaeron truly begin to recuperate and return to its original prosperity and power.
"If you need help, just ask."
"I won't be polite to you."
Fording is calculating the forces that can be mobilized. In addition to the army of Lordaeron, Quel'Thalas and Dalaran will definitely contribute. After all, the harm caused by the Scourge has also affected these two forces.
Ironforge is one of the staunchest allies of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and this expedition will still provide them with sufficient support.
In addition, maybe you can call Kul Tiras. If Kul Tiras' fleet helps, the expedition to Northrend will become much easier.
If possible, Fording would like to contact the night elves and ask them to join the coalition, but it is a bit difficult to achieve this goal.
As for Stormwind City far in the south, he initially counted on Stormwind City to provide material support. After all, Lordaeron was in dire straits and many places could not grow food due to pollution. The Kingdom of Stormwind had a large area of fertile land, so it should not be a problem.
There is a lack of food.
Especially since I helped Stormwind Kingdom get rid of the huge trouble of Onyxia a few years ago. After so many years, Stormwind Kingdom should have recovered its strength, right?
As a result, I met Varian not long ago and found out that the situation in the Kingdom of Stormwind has not improved much at all. It is still full of problems. Various hidden dangers have caused King Varian Wrynn to start losing his hair. Under this circumstance, it seems that the expedition to Northrend cannot be expected from the Kingdom of Stormwind.
In addition, the only ally Fording can find is Winter City. When the battle situation becomes unfavorable or reaches a stalemate, Fording can come to Winter City to call for a group of reinforcements.
Whether it is the Knights of Winter, Spartan heavy infantry or Cybertronian warriors, they are all excellent choices to break the balance of the battle.
Not to mention the ‘Incarnation of Holy Light’, Duke David Glamorgan.
"I'm going back first, remember not to forget to attend the ceremony."
"Don't worry, I won't forget it."
David casually handed the invitation to Eva, who was called in by him. After checking the date, Eva directly recorded the matter in her work schedule, and would notify David to prepare two days before the ceremony.
And arrange David's itinerary in advance to ensure that David will not have anything else to do during those days.
Fording was relieved after seeing this, and was going to find his son Tailan, and let Tailan take him around Winter City. When the time was almost up, he would go directly back to Azeroth.
"I won't come here to say goodbye to you then."
"There's no need to do these false etiquettes, just do whatever you want."
After waving goodbye to Old Fording, David immediately looked at Eva.
"Is anyone coming to see me?"
Eva did not leave directly after recording the things, which proves that she has other things to report. Most of the time, someone comes to see him suddenly.
"It's Viscount Maloney-Mansfield."
"Viscount?"
"Well, old Mansfield passed away not long ago, and Maloney Mansfield inherited the title."
Maloney Mansfield is an old acquaintance of David. When they first met at Irontree Fort, Maloney Mansfield was only the inspector of Irontree Fort.
At that time, David only knew that Maloney Mansfield was born into a noble family, but later he learned that he did not hold a title.
But now his identity is different, and with his good abilities, he has now become a more important figure in Iron Tree Castle after inheriting his father's title.
At the same time, Maloney Mansfield is also the contact person between Irontree Castle and Winter City. The Lord of Irontree Castle, Marquis Dudley Morgan, has always allowed Maloney Mansfield to travel between the two places to maintain the relationship with Winter City.
Relationship.
"In addition to Viscount Maloney-Mansfield, the Earl of Sutton-Stewart is also outside."
"Ah? Why is he here?"
After Earl Sutton-Stewart came to Winter City from White Rock City, he spent some time quietly cultivating himself. Then, like most Tiran nobles, he began to look for a suitable place in Winter City to build his own mansion.
.
In addition, David went to the Marvel Universe a while ago, and he doesn’t know Sutton Stewart’s recent situation.
"I said I wanted to catch up with you."
"..." David decided to meet Maroni first. This person usually comes to Winter City for business, so the meeting with Sutton can be postponed a little later: "Where is Sophia?"
"Chatting with Belfast." After Belfast came to Winterfell, or settled in Glamorgan Castle, he began to learn various things.
Mainly the various living and eating habits of the people living in Glamorgan Castle, as well as the situation and skills of all the maids in Glamorgan Castle.
At present, Belfast has written down all kinds of information, and is well coordinated to arrange the internal affairs of Fort Glamorgan. Even if she does not use any strong methods, she has still successfully become a substantive
Butler.
"Let Sophia go entertain her uncle first, and I'll talk to Viscount Maloney Mansfield first."
"Okay!"
Eva turned and walked out of the office, and immediately came in Viscount Maloney Mansfield.
The noble officials who David once had to treat politely now had to greet David first, but Maloney Mansfield did not show any dissatisfaction, and his etiquette was perfect.
When he told him the purpose of coming to Winterfell, David understood why Maloney was so respectful and polite.
Iron Tree Fort has been at war with the elves of Iron Tree Forest recently. The long-term war has caused very serious losses to Iron Tree Fort. Not only did the soldiers suffer heavy losses, but the reserve force cannot be replenished, and the weapons are also severely damaged.
Therefore, Iron Tree Castle wants to purchase a batch of weapons from Winter City.
"Buy weapons?"
"Yes."
"I'm afraid this won't be easy to handle. Winter City is reorganizing its army, and the weapons we currently produce are not enough for us." David is not fooling Maloney. Winter City's weapons are indeed not enough, even if the entire army is re-equipped.
, we must also continue production and maintain a certain amount of inventory to ensure sufficient backup resources.
In this way, whether it is a temporary expansion of the army or the replacement of damaged equipment, sufficient frontline weapons can be ensured as soon as possible.
"Besides, Iron Tree Castle may not be able to use the weapons and equipment of Winter City, right?"
Maloney was a little regretful at first, but after hearing this, he realized that the other party had misunderstood: "No, I am not talking about the Blizzard Power Armor and Piccolo Assault Rifle of the Winter Knights, but the training equipment of Winter City." p>
"Training equipment?" David then realized that the training equipment in Winter City is actually the kind used before, which is lightweight armor and cold weapons that are blended with crystal ore powder. Is this what Iron Tree Fort wants to buy?
"And the Garand rifle."
Maloney-Mansfield has traveled between the two cities many times, and has also lived in Winter City for a while, so he has a certain understanding of the situation in Winter City.
Things like Blizzard Powered Armor, Piccolo Assault Rifle, and Garand Rifle are not secrets to begin with. You can find out with just a little inquiry.
David looked at Maloney Stanfield in front of him, and he understood that the other party's real intention was that the Garand rifle, armor, sword, and spear might all be smoke bombs.
As for power armor and piccolo assault rifles? Anyone in their right mind knows that these things are impossible to buy.
So the question is, can the Garand rifle be sold?
David thought about it and decided that he would have to discuss this matter with his subordinates. If he wanted to sell it, his original plan of maintaining the existing production line might have to be changed.
Maloney did not push, and Duke David Glamorgan did not directly refuse, which is a good sign, proving that this matter is not impossible to discuss.
As long as a batch of Garand rifles can be purchased, the loss of a large number of strong archers in Iron Tree Fort can be made up for in the shortest time.
After all, training a gunner is much simpler than training a strong archer!
