I have a shop in Azeroth

"What else do you think the Kingdom of Alterac has?"

Turnerstein listened to this question without getting anxious. He began to savor the question carefully and then began his own answer.

"The territory of the Kingdom of Alterac includes the Alterac Mountains and Hillsbrad Foothills. Now, due to the king's betrayal, the power of the Alterac Mountains has been reduced to one-tenth of what it was, while the power of Hillsbrad Foothills remains relatively intact."

Turnerstein continued along this line of logic.

"Even if we can't restore the Alterac Mountains to their original state, we still have Hillsbrad Foothills. If we can regain control of this area, we may be able to restore Alterac's glory."

Has remained very calm. As a former general, he once led the army of the Kingdom of Alterac to fight against Stromgarde, so he understood one thing: this world might have rules, but this was only when the strength of both sides was not much different. What's more, they might not even have the conditions to follow the rules.

He now laid this harsh reality squarely before Turnerstein.

"The Kingdom of Alterac is now only one-tenth as strong as it once was. Hillsbrad Foothills is still nominally under the rule of the Kingdom of Alterac, but this relationship is inherently mutual. Because of the name, even if the royal family's power weakens slightly, this balance will not be broken."

Tennerstein was a little confused. He didn't understand the difference between Hillsbrad Foothills and the kingdom now and in the past. Was this area always under the rule of the kingdom?

Haas then said

"But the situation is completely reversed now. How many troops are left in Tenastan and Alterac Mountains? Thousands, tens of thousands, probably not even half of the troops in Hillsbrad Foothills."

"We won't be able to completely control Hillsbrad Foothills right now. If we can't quickly restore our strength, not to mention the ambitious nobles at home, other nations won't miss the opportunity to encroach on their territory, especially Stromgarde. We're currently at war with them, and they won't let us off easily."

Tennerstein calmed down and thought carefully about the possibility that Hass had mentioned. It was indeed true. Although the nobles pledged allegiance to the king, when the power gap between the two sides was too large, this loyalty became a complete joke. The Seven Human Kingdoms were the most direct example. Most of them were separated from the high-ranking people who were originally loyal to the Kingdom of Arathor. As for the reason, it was because the Arathor royal family did not have enough power.

And if it is Prince Elton who sits on the throne again, then does he have the ability to deal with the nobles who are eyeing him covetously and the enemies surrounding him from outside when he is weak? Tennerstein does not think he has this ability. At least according to the rumors he has heard, the prince is at most a king who maintains the status quo.

"So that invader turned out to be our only option now."

Turnerstein found it a little bit unbelievable. He had long guessed about Haas's partner. Moreover, he was not stupid. From a series of events, he could clearly see who the beneficiary was. But these things were also not harmful to the people of this land. He could see that Haas also wanted to save the people of this land, otherwise he would not cooperate with him.

Haas nodded, agreeing with what Turnerstein said.

After Wu Yue arranged the matters concerning the undead and the tree people, he began to think about the aftermath of the Kingdom of Alterac in the inner city. The news from the outside had been conveyed by the Invisible Murlocs. The trolls had completely broken through the crumbling defense line and were divided into two parts. One part stayed to clear out the remaining demons on the defense line, and the other part would soon come to the city.

The Kingdom of Alterac was already in his hands, but what happened next was the most critical. Compared to before, the humans in the Alterac Mountains had suffered a devastating blow. Under the king's crazy massacre, only one in ten humans remained.

Wu Yue did not intend to use his soldiers as the main personnel of the city of Alterac. They were more suitable as an army rather than living people. After being with them for so long, Wu Yue found that their emotions were too stable, like a cold machine. Although this did not mean that they had no emotions, Wu Yue felt that their emotions seemed to be serving him.

To give a simple example, although there are males and females in Wu Yue's army, Wu Yue has not seen any newborns so far. This is certainly not because they are infertile, but because they have no desire in this regard, or their desire other than serving Wu Yue is shockingly low.

Wu Yue didn't like forcing others, and there were ways to increase the number of his soldiers, but who would refuse an extra option? There was a place to accommodate his soldiers, so he might as well use the Kingdom of Alterac as a place to train local soldiers for him, so he would not throw troops here to fill up the mountains.

If this is the case, then the city of Alterac will be very empty for a long time, and it will be difficult to see people except Wu Yue's soldiers. This is the first reason. Secondly, various countries will not give up this piece of fat that can be eaten, which will definitely bring him a series of troubles. But in Wu Yue's view, this is the thing that he should not worry about the least. The third reason is that some corrupt systems in the country need to be eliminated.

The third point is also the first problem Wu Yue has to deal with after dealing with the trouble with the devil.
