Chapter 66 Rex's Mind (17138)
The sky is cloudless, the wind is bright, the blue sky has no clouds, the hot sun is scorching the earth.
The blue sky is spotless, crystal clear and brilliant, and the bright red sun adds a touch of gorgeous color to the sunny day. The seven-colored light of the sun converges into dazzling white light.
The creaking sound came out, and the Greymann Wall gate, which had been for many days, slowly opened, indicating that Gilness and the outside world had once again resumed contact.
Today is three days after the undead army evacuated. In three days, the entire Greymann Wall has been cleaned, and all the dead bodies and bones have been disposed of and burned. There was no custom of burning in the world of Azeroth, but it has become popular now. Compared with the blasphemy of burning corpses, it is far better to have become the minions of the undead natural disaster after death. Compared with the two, everyone can accept the custom of cremation.
This incident fully proves that one thing is that everything is afraid of comparison. As long as there is a comparison, you can see the gap.
Naturally, Rex doesn't have to be responsible for cleaning the battlefield. Rex has been very relaxed these days. The evacuation of the undead army has been vented all the burdens in his heart. Rex has been doing his best these three days. Although he still has concerns about the high elves in his heart, this is only a moment. After all, the High Sutra is not a human race, not Gilness. Rex is always an outsider. You can worry about other people's affairs for a moment, but you will definitely not worry for a lifetime.
"I'll go back to Dalaran in a while, this is saying goodbye to you," said Jaina's blonde hair fluttering in the wind, her rosy lips opened and she spoke.
"So urgent? Don't you play in Gilness?" Rex replied, looking at Gianna beside him. Since the Alsace incident, Jaina has no longer had her usual smile. Her face is more melancholy. In a short period of time, Jaina can't recover. Only as time goes by can she smooth out the pain in Gianna's heart.
"Not in the mood!" Gianna said, shook her head gently.
"I will send Osborne to escort you back," nodded. Rex directly greeted the guards beside him and went to greet Osborne. Dalaran was all mages, and there was still a big risk when he went on the road alone. Now the undead army has retreated, but it has only retreated to the main city of Lordaeron. This does not mean that there will be no undead army in other places, and he is also very vigilant about Dalaran's undead, so there are many troops. If Jaina returns, she may encounter the undead, and in the state of these people, it is extremely unfavorable to connect with each other.
"Okay," Jaina agreed, without refusing, and knew that the road to Dalaran was not calm and protected by an army, this was a good thing, not a bad thing.
Osborne arrived soon, and now the undead have retreated. But the army continues to gather at the Wall of Greymann. Because of Recher's serious injury, there is only a glimmer of life left. Rex has become the supreme commander.
After Rex's order, Osborn nodded and went straight to integrate the army and gathered the Fifth Gilnis Army. The Fifth Gilnis Army is a cavalry. In the past few years, Rex has specially built it and is well-equipped. However, because this battle was a city guard station and there was no room for cavalry to play, the Fifth Gilnis Army is an army that has not been damaged at all. The most suitable wizard to protect Dalaran this time is them. After all, other armies are now being renovated.
Rex has great ambitions and has always been obsessed with the position of the Lord of the Alliance. You can see Rex's ambitions. If you want to realize your ambitions without the support of the army, it is impossible. Without strength. Even if you have great ambitions, it is a matter of rootless Ping, and there is no possibility of success at all.
So after this battle at Greymann Wall, all the remaining troops were seen by Rex and regarded them as treasures.
No matter what their identities were, militias, or young and strong men who were temporarily incorporated into the army, they were all mobs before this war, and they had not experienced the baptism of war, and were destined to be recruits, but after this war it was different. After experiencing the baptism of blood and fire, these soldiers were all qualified to fight. After experiencing the battle between life and death, they all became qualified soldiers. As long as they had six months of rigorous training, they would become the elites of Gilness.
War is the fastest catalyst for a soldier to be qualified. As long as they can survive a war, they are all qualified soldiers. Of course, the probability of elimination of war is also the highest. There are not many people who can survive and the mortality rate is too high.
In this war, there were quite a lot of sacrifices, with deaths and disabilities of tens of thousands of people. You should know how many days the battle lasted, but the real battle, that day, had such a high sacrifice.
However, the remaining people, the lord's personal guards, will be released, and the others, Rex, do not intend to let go, will be incorporated. No one told me about this plan, and even King Gene did not say anything about it. Because this matter is a bit crazy, excluding the personal guards and the wounded, Gilnis's army will still exceed 100,000 people and more than 100,000 regular troops. This is a terrible number. If others think, a large number of troops will inevitably be repatriated after this war. After all, expanding the army is not something you want, you can expand it just by expanding it. If the army is expanded, it is also a big event.
Rex knew his cheap father's character well and absolutely could not agree to his crazy expansion of the army, transforming so many troops into regular troops, because Gilness could not afford to support him.
Everyone who knows will definitely object, so Rex did not make any statement, but let his confidant start to be incorporated. Gilnis could not afford to support him. How could Rex not know? But this army would definitely not be disbanded because it could not be supported. If most of it was dismissed, then in the end, they could only arm the lords. After experiencing this war, their horizons improved and their respective territories. These soldiers would definitely be incorporated by the lords and become their own armed forces. Doing so at that time would weaken the royal power and increase the lord's strength.
King Jean also knew about this, but he couldn't afford to support so many people. In addition, the lord would definitely make an objection and demand repatriation. For two reasons, King Jean would definitely choose to repatriate them.
But if you do this, Gilness will lose the power to explore the outside world. After all, Rex is not used to the Azeroth world. The king is just a bigger lord. Each lord is equivalent to a kingdom. In his own territory, he can do anything. On the surface, he has high royal power, but the real situation is that his own power is higher than the royal power in the territory.
The history of centralization has taken place for thousands of years. Rex, who grew up in this context, is still accustomed to controlling his own power. For example, a major event occurred, such as a war, the kingdom began to call on the lords, and the lords sent troops one after another, and finally the gathering of troops began to conquer the enemy. It was not the way Rex liked, but it seemed to have advantages. When the loss was made, as long as the royal family did not directly control the power, the royal family would not feel heartbroken, but rather a good thing.
But if you win, there are many people sharing the victory cake, and each lord will come and give it a break.
Rex, who has strong confidence in himself, never thought that he would fail, so he didn't want too many people to intervene in the next land of Lordaeron.
This army is the hope of Rex's recovery of Lordaeron's main city. If most of them are disbanded, it will be even more difficult to conquer them at that time. If other lords cannot intervene, they will no longer be controlled by Rex.
Now, Rex is waiting for news, waiting for the news that the main army of the Undead Natural Scourge has left Lordaeron. As long as the main force of the Undead Natural Scourge has confirmed that the main force of the Undead Natural Scourge has begun to chase orcs and seize the Book of Medivh, Rex will call for the reconstruction of the alliance. The slogan Rex has been thought of, that is, to recover Lordaeron.
It can be said that everything is ready, but the east wind is not available. As long as this war is passed down in all directions and slowly fermenting, Gilnis' fame is enough. As an ally high elves, they will respond to Gilnis' call. The dwarves in the Iron Fort are not a problem. The dwarves have always been the most loyal ally of mankind. The identity of the loyal little brother is enough to shock them with the reputation of this war. The dwarves, now the crisis broke out in the main city, is too busy to take care of themselves, but Rex promises that as long as they respond to the alliance, they will help them solve the invasion of the crypt people.
There is no problem with foreign races. As long as the internal human race is solved, the key is Kurtiras' attitude. As long as Darin supports Gilness, everything can be said to be the overall situation.
So now there are only two major events for Rex. It is confirmed that the main force of the Undead Natural Scourge will leave, and then go to Kultilas to negotiate with His Majesty Dalin. With Dalin's support, the opinions of Rapids Castle are insignificant. As for Stormwind City, even if there are objections, it is hard to beat alone. Varian is not as young as his father, King Gene, who has been crowned king since the First World War, has the oldest qualifications, the highest prestige, and cooperates with strength. This is the general trend.
