The New Order of Azeroth

v1 Chapter 147: Darius Crowley

The werewolves controlled by Vanessa have occupied all walks of life in Gilneas, making it difficult for them to rebel and have different ideas. Without a clear program, it is difficult to twist the power of these people into one rope.

Moreover, war also requires the cooperation of low-level soldiers. For example, a naval general like James Harrington hopes to die with the undead. For him, dying on the battlefield is better than being a turtle behind a wall, but ordinary soldiers don’t think so. They respect the king, because the king did not let them go to the battlefield, which is the performance of the benevolent king.

In Gilneas now, the high-level nobles are dissatisfied with the king, and they want to rebel. The middle-level elites are all occupied by Vanessa's werewolves, and they are currently in a state of waiting and playing soy sauce. The lower-level soldiers support the king and do not want to fight any undead. What the Burning Legion wants to live its life behind the wall.

The situation can be said to be very complicated, and everything needs the great lord to set off a counter-flag before he can make a final decision.

Vanessa wants to help the great lord right now.

It is impossible for the werewolves under his command to rebel, and they are not prepared to treason, but it is possible to let them use their respective powers to take out the weapons and equipment in the warehouse and sell them to the big lord.

"If the price is right, I will agree." She said flatly.

From her point of view, she was doing a favor by helping to transport the weapons in the king's treasury and sell them to the great lord. After that, they could fight whatever they wanted, and she had almost no losses.

"I'm afraid you don't know. High Lord Darius Crowley once supported a unit called the Gilneas Brigade when Lady Jaina was heading west. I admire him very much. He is the hope of this country."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, all the werewolves did not object.

The two sides quickly dispatched their men to negotiate terms. The great lord had a lot of warships in his hands. With the abandonment of all the northern lands, the warships were useless to him at all. He wanted to exchange all weapons except artillery, including food, war horses, and clothing. , medicines, and so on.

The transaction volume is too large, and the two parties lack the basis for mutual trust. As the transaction enters the substantive stage, the leaders of both parties are going to find a place to sit down and talk, at least to know who is doing business with them, right?

They agreed not to bring any subordinates, and had an interview at the Holy Light Cathedral.

There is also the Cathedral of the Holy Light on the Gilneas side. The full name of the Cathedral in Stormwind City is the Cathedral of Light, and the Cathedral of the Dawn here in Gilneas.

This church is located in the royal capital, and it was mainly funded and built by the Crowley family. The church has rights independent of the king's power. No matter how powerful the king is, he will never do anything to the church. Currently in Gilneas, this is the safest place to meet .

Darius Crowley is known as the hero of Gilneas. This does not mean how high his professional level is, but that this person has a very strong style of doing things.

When Vanessa walked into the side hall, the great lord had already arrived at the scene early.

Unlike the ceremonial swords worn by many nobles, the long sword he wears has a strong smell of blood. This is a murderous sword.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the burly middle-aged man turned his head and looked over. He was blind in one eye, but this did not damage his aura, and the thick beard made him even more majestic.

Vanessa is still in her red robe and silver staff.

She is no longer the little thief she was back then. She has met a lot of big men of all kinds, can fight and run, and has a magic weapon in her hand. Her confidence is not ordinary.

She bowed slightly out of politeness: "Good day, High Lord."

The other party glanced at her twice, as if trying to see through her reality, and then said in a nasal voice: "Please sit down, ma'am, we need to talk about a lot of things today."

"That's what I want to say too."

Darius Crowley owns a fairly passable fleet, and now all the ships are abandoned at the pier, no matter how good the ship is, he is very willing to sell the fleet, but the weapons on the ship, especially those He is not going to sell the artillery.

Most of them are also worried that Vanessa will counterattack the port with the artillery on the warship. He wants to rebel, but he is not prepared to betray the country.

Vanessa needs warships now, and artillery is not a necessity for her. Gilneas has artillery in the warehouse, and the Brotherhood can also cast cannons themselves. The most time-consuming part is the shipbuilding process.

"I want the fleet to retain the most basic self-defense capabilities."

"Okay, I'll leave you with one-fifth of the artillery, which is enough to deal with the pirates along the coast."

"Okay, I agree, tell me what you need?"

Darius Crowley needed a lot of things. Originally, his rebellion plan was to unload the naval guns on the ship and make it the main force.

As a general who has led the battle for many years, he certainly knows that the artillery has limitations. These days, the artillery cannot be said to cover strikes. Once the artillery is attacked by the enemy, it will be a tragedy.

It is quite difficult to rebel with cannons and a small number of muskets, but he has no choice. The supplies in Gilneas are firmly controlled by the old king, and he has no access to them. Now I heard that someone is willing to sell a large amount of military supplies. Equipment, he immediately abandoned the original rebellion plan.

He told his request one by one, and Vanessa listened patiently, taking notes from time to time.

One thousand pairs of bows and arrows, one thousand muskets, two thousand sabers, fifteen thousand spears, one hundred full body armor, five thousand leather armors, the same number of helmets, and a large amount of food for marching.

These materials are enough for Darius Crowley to arm an army of more than 20,000 people. With his own original armed forces, the chances of a successful rebellion will at least double. Take down the capital.

For this army~lightnovelpub.net~ what he needs to pay is a total of eleven warships. Stasis, from the current point of view, is not much different from the warships in Stormwind City.

"I need to allocate supplies. Ten days later, my people will go to receive the warship. We will complete the transaction at the wharf in Keel Harbor."

"Ten days?...OK."

Vanessa worked non-stop for eight full days, setting fire to the ledgers and warehouses. It took a lot of effort to gather the weapons and equipment needed by the high lord in the various warehouses in Gilneas.

Although the other party lacked an eye, he was still not blind. These weapons and equipment looked like Gilneas' own stuff.

The great lord didn't know about the werewolves. He believed that Vanessa was the spokesperson for the other nobles. Only a considerable number of nobles worked together to get so much supplies without telling the king in just ten days. The nobles wanted warships. It is also relatively easy to understand, they want to escape the vortex of Gilneas.

He thought about it, thinking that his rebellion was widely supported, and finally nodded, let his men receive weapons and equipment, and handed over his family's fleet at the same time.
