Chapter 349 Iron Tree Fort Wants to Buy Weapons

   Let David choose, it must be to quietly farm and recuperate, and wait until the strength of the Kingdom of Lordaeron is restored to a sufficient level before considering the expedition to Northrend.

   It's not that he loves peace, but he simply feels that if he doesn't hold back his strength enough to wipe out the enemy in waves, it's hard to achieve his goal by rashly sending troops.

   "However, the Lich King poses too great a threat to Azeroth, and it is indeed not suitable to stay there forever."

  David understands that situations are different and decisions must be made on a case by case basis.

  The Lich King's threat to Lordaeron is not at the same level as the Kingdom of Tiran, the Temple, etc. on his side. He has been staying in Northrend, and he doesn't know what will happen.

   At that time, Fording will not have any 'plot' advantages to rely on, and the two sides will return to the equal situation to play the game, and perhaps an unexpected crisis will erupt.

   "..."

   Fording didn't interrupt, quietly waiting for David's follow-up, but after waiting for a while, David didn't continue.

   "Finished?"

   It seems to have said something, but it seems to have said nothing?

   Fording looked at David speechlessly. Although he knows that you are already a mature lord, don't learn from those politicians to play tricks!

   "Ahem~ Actually, I want to say that under normal circumstances, I would choose to recuperate to restore the kingdom to its prosperity; but this time the enemy is in a special situation, and it is safer to eliminate them as soon as possible."

   That is to say, when faced with the problem of the Lich King, David supported the United Allies of Lordaeron in their 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 also the Shadow Realm's conspiracy behind it. No matter how you look at it, getting rid of the Lich King as soon as possible is the right choice.

Fording had already made a decision in his heart, and he tried his best to persuade those who opposed the expedition after returning. After being reminded by David, he also thought of a suitable reason: if the Lich King is not eliminated, the undead natural disaster in the territory of Lordaeron will not It may be completely eliminated, because the Lich King hiding in Northrend is the root of all natural disasters.

   Only when the Lich King is completely wiped out can the Kingdom of Lordaeron truly begin to recuperate and return to its original prosperous and powerful state.

   "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 Lordaeron's army, Quel'Thalas and Dalaran will definitely contribute. After all, the damage caused by the Scourge also affected these two forces.

  Ironforge is one of the most staunch allies of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and this expedition will still give them enough support.

   In addition, maybe you can call on Kul Tiras. With the help of the Kul Tiras fleet, the expedition to Northrend will be much easier.

  If possible, Fording would like to contact the night elves and let them join the coalition, but it is a bit difficult to achieve this goal.

As for Stormwind City in the far south, at first he had hoped that Stormwind City would provide material support. After all, Lordaeron was in a state of waste, and many places could not cultivate food due to pollution. However, Stormwind Kingdom has a large area of ​​fertile land, so it shouldn't be a problem. There is a shortage of food.

  Especially because I helped the Stormwind Kingdom clean up the huge trouble of Onyxia a few years ago. After so many years, the Stormwind Kingdom should recover, right?

   As a result, I met Varian not long ago and found out that the situation in the Stormwind Kingdom has not improved much at all. It is still full of a lot of problems. Various hidden dangers have made the king Varian Wrynn start to lose his hair.

  Under such circumstances, it seems that the expedition to Northrend cannot be counted on the Kingdom of Stormwind.

  In addition, the ally that Fording can find is Winter City. When the battle situation is unfavorable or 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 great choices to break the balance of the battle.

   Not to mention David, the Duke of Glamorgan, the "Incarnation of the Holy Light".

   "I'm going back first, remember not to forget to attend the ceremony."

   "Don't worry, I won't forget."

David handed the invitation to Eva who was called in by him. After checking the date, Eva directly recorded the matter in the work schedule, and notified David to prepare two days before the ceremony. And arrange David's itinerary in advance to ensure that David will not have other things in those days.

   Fording felt relieved when he saw this, and was going to find his son Tailan, and asked Tailan to take him around in Winter City, and he would go back to Azeroth directly when the time was almost up.

   "I won't come here to say goodbye to you when the time comes."

   "You don't need to fix these vain rituals, you can do whatever you want."

   After waving goodbye to Old Fording, David immediately looked at Eva.

   "Anyone come to me?"

  Eva did not leave directly after recording the matter, which proved that she had other matters to report, and most of the time, someone came to 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 considered an old acquaintance of David. When we first met in Iron Tree Fort, Maloney Mansfield was just the inspector of Iron Tree Fort.

  At that time, David only knew that Maloney Mansfield was of noble origin, but later he learned that he did not have a title.

  However, his status is different now, and his ability is good. After inheriting his father's title, he has become a more important figure in Iron Tree Castle.

At the same time, Maloney Mansfield is also the contact person of Iron Tree Castle and Winter City. The lord of Iron Tree Castle, Dudley Marquess, has always let Maloney Mansfield go back and forth between the two places to maintain the relationship with Winter City. relation.

   "In addition to Viscount Maloney Mansfield, Earl Sutton Stewart is also outside."

   "Huh? Why is he here?"

After Earl Sutton-Stewart came to Cold Winter City from White Rock City, he quietly cultivated for a period of time, and then, like most Tiran nobles, he began to look for a place he liked in Cold Winter City and build his own mansion .

  In addition, David went to the Marvel Universe a while ago, and he doesn't know the recent situation of this Sutton Stewart.

   "I said I wanted to talk to you about old times."

   "..." David decided to meet Maloney first. This person usually comes to Winter City for business, and the meeting with Sutton can be later: "Where's Sophia?"

   "I'm chatting with Belfast." After Belfast came to Winter City, or lived 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 special skills of all the maids in Glamorgan Castle.

At present, Belfast has recorded all kinds of information, and has coordinated and arranged the internal affairs in Glamorgan Castle very well. Even if she did not use any strong means, she still successfully became a real housekeeper.

   "Let Sophia entertain her uncle first, and I'll talk to Viscount Maloney Mansfield first."

"OK!"

  Eva turned and walked out of the office, and then Viscount Maloney Mansfield came in.

  The aristocratic officials that David had to treat politely now have to greet David first, but Maloney Mansfield did not show any dissatisfaction, his etiquette was perfect.

  When he explained his purpose of coming to Winterfell, David understood why Maloney was so respectful and polite.

  Iron Tree Fort has been fighting with the elves of the Iron Tree Forest recently. The long-term war has caused heavy losses in Iron Tree Fort. Not only the soldiers suffered heavy losses, but the backup resources were not replenished, and the weapons were also severely depleted.

  So, Iron Tree Fort wants to buy a batch of weapons from Winter City.

   "Purchase a weapon?"

"Yes."

"I'm afraid this is not easy to handle. Winter City is reorganizing the army, and we don't have enough weapons to produce." David is not fooling Maloney. The weapons in Winter City are indeed not enough, even if the entire army is replaced. , It is also necessary to continue production and maintain a certain inventory to ensure that there are sufficient backup resources.

  In this way, whether it is a temporary military expansion or replacement of damaged equipment, it can ensure that the frontline weapons are sufficient at the first time.

   "Besides, Iron Tree Fort may not be able to use the weapons and equipment of Winter City, right?"

  Maloney was a little regretful at first, but only realized that the other party had misunderstood after hearing this: "No, I'm not talking about the Snowstorm Power Armor and Piccolo Assault Rifle of the Winter Knights, but the training equipment of Winter City."

   "Training equipment?" David finally realized that the training equipment in Winter City is actually the kind used before, which is light armor and cold weapons mixed 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.

  Blizzard Power Armor, Piccolo Assault Rifle, Garand Rifle, etc. are no secrets in the first place, and they can be known after a little inquiry.

  David looked at Maroney Stanfield in front of him, and he understood that the real intention of the other party was actually the Garand rifle. The armor, long sword, and long gun might all be smoke bombs.

   As for the power armor and the Piccolo assault rifle? Anyone with a normal brain knows that this thing can't be bought at all.

  Then the question is, can the Garand rifle be sold?

  David thought for a while, this matter needs to be discussed with his subordinates. If he wants to sell it, his original plan of maintaining the existing production line may have to be changed.

   Maloney did not urge, and David - Duke of Glamorgan did not directly refuse, which is a good sign, proving that this matter is not uncommon.

  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 easier than training a strong archer!
