Chapter 436: The Expeditionary Force Comes Home
"In the second war against the orcs, His Majesty Solastol Bain led his army to attack the Altlan Mountains thousands of miles and made outstanding contributions to the victory of the league. He was the hero of the league. Now his honor has been tarnished. The throne of Stormgard is hanging high. As a member of the Thorbain family, I think you should stand up. This is a responsibility and an obligation."
This conversation was extremely formal. Although Vanessa did not wear a crown, she also changed into a palace dress.
In the past, she didn't wear these clothes, and not only did she have zero defense, but she also affected her actions.
However, in order to appear solemn and add a serious atmosphere to the conversation, I can only endure it.
Things in the Kingdom of Stormgard were not important at all, just the disease of scabies.
If Galintholbain stayed honestly in the Fortress, she wouldn't bother to care about it, but these guys were jumping around. Vanessa didn't want to see a group of Forgotten people hidden behind Lordaeron during the North Expedition in the future. So just take advantage of the time now to destroy them.
The Kingdom of Stormgard was an independent kingdom from beginning to end. Lordaeron had no legal principles, moral and blood relationships to annex, and Vanessa could only help them change to a leader.
It just so happened that the former king's nephew, Danastor Bain, one of the five heroes of the Black Gate, was in the Alliance Expeditionary Force. In terms of inheritance, his nephew was a bit far from the throne, but his serious bloodline had been cut off, and his nephew's succession was in line with the facts.
"Your Highness, the problem now is that the coalition forces are fighting in Argus. I'm going back at this time?" Danastollbain is a warrior with a sense of honor. He doesn't want to leave the battlefield at this critical moment.
Vanessa had already expected this: "The Expeditionary Force has been away from Azeroth for twenty years. It is too unreasonable to let you continue to fight in foreign countries. You are soldiers, and it is your obligation to fight for the country, but the Alliance also has to repay you for your efforts. Beval and McGonny's Bronzebeard have discussed that the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force can enjoy heroic treatment in Stormwind City or Lordaeron. Your future livelihoods will be borne by the Alliance, and there are all kinds of compensation for land and money. Lordaeron and the Storm Kingdom welcome you home. Of course, if you want to go to Iron Fortress or Danasus of the Night Elves, you will be welcomed by all cities in the Alliance."
"The soldiers of the Expeditionary Force will have a year off and then decide whether to continue serving. Azeroth has also changed a lot in recent years. Let the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force take a vacation and let them go home to see each other. This is the only thing the alliance can do for them."
The old soldier sighed softly. The sigh was extremely complicated. There were memories, pride, and some other things. He could not tell what he was feeling at the moment. He only knew that the expeditionary army had spent twenty years to stay here, and now it was finally over.
"I thank Your Highness for your help for my old friends. No matter what, their sacrifice was not in vain."
Danastoll Bain is not big or small, but he is considered a politician. He knows that the Expeditionary Force should receive this honor, but there are many things in the world, and many things that should have happened have not actually happened. If Vanessa had not actively promoted this matter, they would not have received this honor so quickly.
The rest of the matter is easy to discuss. Danastollbain did not refuse to return to his country to inherit the throne. He had the right to inherit the matter, and there was no need to be humble in pretending to be humble. Lordaeron wanted to send troops to help, and he had no reason to send a right.
In human history, it is common for the seven kingdoms to fight and help each other. Back then, the Storm Kingdom could accept Lordaeron's help to restore the country. Recently, Lordaeron received support from the Storm Kingdom to rebuild the country. These are all ready-made examples. Now the Stormgard Kingdom accepts Lordaeron's assistance, which is completely acceptable.
Lordaeron does not provide free assistance, but obtains some benefits afterwards. It is reasonable and no one can find any fault.
In the next few days, the soldiers of the Alliance Expeditionary Force returned to the foreign territory one after another. To be honest, now the coalition soldiers and Illidan soldiers are more than 100,000 soldiers fighting in Argus. It is really not necessary for them to continue their bloody battles. It is very urgent to keep the veterans away from the battlefield and return home.
They brought big bags of salutes and gathered from all over the place to Shatas City.
When the coalition forces entered Argus, the role of the outer domain was not so great. Naruadal followed him to Argus, and Shatas was finally handed over to the coalition and the tribe for joint management.
It is said that it is joint management, and Vanessa often occupies the place. She regards Shatas as the main logistics base. The first stop for various materials transported by Azeroth is Shatas.
Relying on the accumulation of many mages and massive materials, four permanent portals were built in Shatas City.
Among them, the portals of the alliance lead to Stormwind City and Lordaeron respectively, while the portals of the tribe lead to Orgrimmar and Thunder Cliff.
The Alliance Expeditionary Force was sent out under the premise of Lordaeron as the leader. If you send people out, you will take them back now. Vanessa took everything from Lordaeron, so naturally she would have to bear this responsibility.
Her craftsmen started work overnight, and then created a total of 9,125 medals of the Expeditionary Force.
This is the number of people finally counted by Kadega and his team. Twenty years have passed, and there are less than 3,000 soldiers who have lived to this day. However, the commemorative medals of the victims must be handed over to their families as much as possible, and compensation for various land and money should also be delivered.
This is very troublesome, but Vanessa probably can complete it with some effort. Azeroth's household registration system is not as bad as expected, and she can definitely do it if she wants to do it.
"Old guy, we really have to go back." The legendary warrior of the Wild Hammer Dwarf, Kudlan, also one of the five heroes of the Black Gate, touched his griffin's head and sighed repeatedly.
They were brave and fearless on the battlefield, and they had the feat of shooting down the red dragon back then, but at this time they were timid. Standing in front of the portal, the old dwarf with a large beard actually felt a little hesitant.
"Why do I fight those demon cubs for a few more days? Without me and my griffins, those alliance boys can't stop the demons!" He gave in a little.
Kadega also returned to Shatas from the front line. He was not going back. This time he came here mainly to see him off. He laughed heartily: "Hahaha, you ugly dwarf, hurry up and go back, find a female dwarf, and then give birth to a group of little wildhammers!"
