Part-time BOSS

Murphy looked at the subtle changes in Godwin's expression, but felt inexplicably that all the chaos in front of him had been planned by Godwin.

Although it seems that the crowd is furious and everyone is unhappy with Godwin's plan, in fact it is all part of his plan.

This idea surprised Murphy himself.

This guy can't really be that calculating, right?

It stands to reason that Godwin, as the leader of the alliance, should work hard to maintain the stability and centripetal force of the alliance.

Even if you want to extract money from various kingdoms and weaken the strength of each country, you have to design it cleverly and leave no trace.

But since he announced that he wanted to raise funds to build an orc detention center, and now he has added several goals to this plan, it seems that he is deliberately trying to anger all countries.

Could it be that - a conjecture suddenly appeared in Murphy's mind.

Could it be said that Godwin wanted to actively cause the alliance to split? Then use force to unify the countries and establish the Empire of Lordaeron?

Murphy had reason to think so. He remembered that Tianxiu had introduced to him the internal situation of the royal family in Lordaeron. Among them, there were many Imperial players, and Godwin was the leader of this faction.

Directly attacking allies will definitely lead to a sharp drop in reputation and even siege. No matter how strong Lordaeron is, it is impossible to fight against a few, but if countries voluntarily withdraw from the alliance and everyone goes their separate ways, then there will be resistance if Godwin takes action again. Not so big anymore.

Moreover, if Lordaeron is defeated individually, it can completely rely on its national power to achieve the crushing effect.

But is he really so confident? Although Lordaeron is powerful, all countries are not vegetarian. Even if they really want to fight, even if they can't win, it can be delayed. If everyone doesn't form a team and start a war with Lordaeron according to the situation, then the war will definitely not be a temporary one. It will be over. If the tribe breaks out of the Dark Portal again at this time, wouldn't the alliance be in danger?

No, Godwin is definitely not the domineering style, he must have some kind of deeper plan.

While Murphy was guessing, the noise had gradually subsided. Although everyone was still shouting about their contributions and difficulties, they all looked at Godwin.

The meaning is obvious, we are all making such a fuss, you have to give us an explanation, should we simply cancel the plan, or should Lordaeron take the big lead? You don't want to cause public outrage.

Godwin suddenly sneered.

"That's enough. Look at you. As leaders of all the countries in the alliance, you have no sense of responsibility or responsibility at all. You are making noise like gangsters for power and money. You are so imageless. I am really disappointed."

These words immediately made the leaders of various countries turn pale, and all of them showed angry expressions. Although Yiya was the leader of the alliance, they were all kings, princes, and last but not least, great lords. Who was afraid of whom?

Solanlian frowned slightly, with a hint of anger on her pretty face, "Your Majesty Godwin, your accusation is unreasonable. The gold coins in our treasury are taxes paid by the people. We must pay for the people's taxes." We must be responsible for our rights and interests, and naturally we cannot waste them carelessly.”

Godwin (King of Lordaeron): "Haha, what a big hat. Who doesn't know that Silvermoon City, the capital of Quel'Thalas, is famous for its magnificence, and His Majesty Anastarian's palace is even more luxurious. There are diamond chandeliers and gold floors. It is said that the cost of building a palace is worth tens of millions.

I guess your people must be happy to pay any price to add a golden floor tile under the feet of your king, but are unwilling to contribute a copper coin to the stability and tranquility of the alliance. "

Godwin said and looked at Trollbane again, "Your Majesty, Trollbane, how did you become the king? I think everyone knows that the Kingdom of Stromgarde did pay a lot in the last war. , but without the alliance's army - your kingdom has long been razed to the ground by the orcs, is this kind of kindness enough to pay for the little food and grass supplies you provided?"

"King Brainy, King Jean's death in battle was indeed heroic and fearless. He was not afraid of sacrificing his life in order to fight against the common enemy of the alliance. But it seems that you are far behind compared to your father. For the alliance, not only If you don’t want to give up your life, you won’t even be willing to part with gold coins, right?”

Godwin's retort successfully made the faces of everyone present even more ugly.

Magni (King of Ironforge): "Godwin, how can you say that? It will hurt everyone's feelings and destroy the unity of the alliance. What would King Tenaris think if he were still alive?"

Before Godwin could speak, Blainey couldn't help but shouted angrily.

"That's enough. Gilneas will never pay such an unreasonable burden anyway. Unless His Majesty Godwin gives up this plan, the Kingdom of Gilneas would rather withdraw from the alliance than pay such a large sum of money to feed a group of people who killed my father. The orcs!"

What!

This shout immediately made everyone 'shocked'.

This shock was somewhat of an act, but there was definitely real meaning in it. Anger is anger, anger is anger, don't quit the group at every turn.

Magni (King of Ironforge): "Blenny, don't be impulsive. If King Zeon is still alive, he will never want to see such a result."

Sure enough, there is something wrong, Murphy thought in his mind, Blainey and Godwin have a good relationship. Even if they don't support Godwin, they won't be the first to sing the opposite, right?

There is a problem, absolutely there is a problem.

Blainey (King of Gilneas): "Huh, okay, let's not talk about withdrawing from the alliance. I don't think it's better than this. It's better to vote directly. The alliance is not the alliance of Lordaeron, but the alliance of all If everyone in the kingdom and the alliance of all intelligent races who aspire to justice decide to reject this plan, I think there is no need to implement it.”

Godwin (King of Lordaeron): "Okay, just vote. If the leaders are really unwilling to accept this plan, then I am also willing to accept this result, but if the plan is passed, everyone must accept it.

I think you are definitely not the kind of ignorant person. Please consider my proposal carefully before making a decision. "

After listening to this, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all a little surprised.

Although the alliance operates a system similar to the United Nations, it has never been based on the number of people. After all, each kingdom is strong or weak, and the population and territory are very different. If you let Lordaeron and Gnomeregan count for one vote, That's obviously not reasonable.

Therefore, voting like this is very rare.

Usually everyone discusses it, convinces each other, and seeks support, and usually a unified approach can be formed in the end.

It's still outrageous that something like this is going to cause a vote.

The leaders of various countries were calculating the gains and losses. Solanlian calculated the reactions of everyone before and nodded first, "I agree, let's vote."

She could easily calculate that the vast majority of people were obviously opposed to this plan. Godwin's plan was so nonsense. If she was to blame, it was because he tied the Orc Detention Center into it. How could such a thing be possible with money to raise Orcs? accept.

Everyone also expressed their opinions.

"vote!"

"vote!"

"Vote, but Alterac can only count one vote."

"Yes, that's right, and you must first determine who will vote."

Both Zhu Genbao and Darkseid looked helpless. They were both sitting in the auditorium at the back. At this moment, they could only point at Murphy together.

Murphy looked at everyone's similar reactions, and looked at Godwin and Blainey's tense looks, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"I think such an important decision should not be decided by voting. It should be made through long-term deliberation and discussion to determine its rationality and feasibility before making a decision. There is no need to rush."

As soon as these words came out, he immediately attracted a few surprised looks.

They are all kings who oppose the plan. The meaning is obvious. There are so many people who oppose it, and we have a huge advantage when it comes to voting.

Solanlian glared over, "Prince Aidan, do you know what you are doing?"

Murphy ignored the great astromancer, "Of course I know what I'm doing, but do you know what you're doing - Elf?"

Magni suddenly interjected, "I think it's better to hold a round of voting on whether to vote or not."

This statement immediately caused a burst of laughter.

But it's an idea.

The result was unanimous vote except for Murphy.

According to Antonidas, the archmage of Dalaran, this is the best way to reflect the fairness and equality of all countries within the alliance.

Murphy sighed and could only accept it.

Voting begins soon.

"We, the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, refuse to accept this plan." Solanlian said proudly.

"We, the Kingdom of Stromgarde, refuse to accept this plan." Trollbane also chose to refuse.

"The Kingdom of Stormwind supports His Majesty Godwin's plan." Lothar voted in favor without any surprise.

"We, the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, support this plan." Proudmoore's naval officer said expressionlessly.

Kul Tiras actually chose to support Godwin, which surprised Murphy. Historically, Kul Tiras was the most fiercely opposed.

But if you think about it carefully, this result is both unexpected and reasonable.

Historically, the objection was because Prince Drake, the crown prince, died in battle. Admiral Proudmoore had two sons in total. After the death of his most valued heir, of course he hated the orcs.

However, no prince of Kul Tiras died in the Orc War this time, and Proudmoore had many sons, so even if three or five of them died, he probably wouldn't care that much.

"Ironforge abstains," Magni Bronzebeard said.

"Gnomeregan abstains." The dwarf master craftsman, who has always had no sense of presence, also said immediately.

Dwarves and gnomes are neighbors, and they always get along as well as they wear the same pants. It's not surprising that these two brothers chose not to help each other. Ironforge is not short of money.

Murphy hurriedly glanced at King Magni, thinking why are you neutral? Shouldn't you object? Your dwarf prince is still in my hands.

Unexpectedly, the other party spread his hands with a helpless expression on his face, not knowing what he meant.

"Eyrie Mountain refuses to accept this plan." Falstad was not used to bad habits. He was so jealous that he had no good impression of the orcs at all, and he almost shouted out loud.

"Dalaran supports this plan." Antonidas said calmly.

"Lordaeron also supports this plan." Godwin said, looking at Murphy, "Prince Aidan, what does Alterac say?"

Murphy looked at the crowd. There were now four votes in favor, three votes against, and two abstentions——

Gilneas hasn't expressed his position yet. Judging from Blainey's violent reaction just now, he must be opposed to it, and that is four versus four.

If this is the case, it means that your vote will determine whether the plan is implemented.

But will things really develop like this? Ironforge's neutrality and Kul Tiras' support gave Murphy a bad taste. Godwin must have planned this meeting in advance, and he would never let the plan fail.

If the plan is really rejected, Godwin's reputation will undoubtedly take a big hit. Could it be that he is really unprepared?

He glanced at Blainey again. This guy who was aggressive before was not in a hurry to express his position this time.

Murphy sighed in his heart, now he could only do his best and obey fate.

"Alterac opposes this plan."

Murphy said.

"Gilneas supports this plan." Blainey said proudly.

What!

Everyone had different reactions, but most of them were very surprised, especially Solanlian, who had a look of disbelief on her face and her mouth opened wide.

Murphy sighed secretly in his heart, and he actually guessed it.

Godwin is playing a double act with Blainey, I'm afraid it might not have been discussed long ago.

There is definitely a PY deal with Ironforge and Stormwind.

Trollbane and Falstad were both very angry. They said to themselves that you are a bastard. You just sang the opposite and sang the most joyfully. Now you are acting like a submissive citizen.

Solanlian's face turned red with anger, his pretty face was almost distorted, and his long pointed ears twitched.

This plan is absolutely unacceptable to the elves. You must know that Quel'Thalas and Lordaeron will bear the highest-level expenses in the plan, which is a full three million gold coins.

Even if Quel'Thalas has money, it can't waste it like this.

The Sun King would never accept such an agreement, but she agreed to decide on the arrangements based on the results of the vote.

Wouldn't this be digging a hole for yourself?

But when she thought of the Sun King's instructions before setting off, Solanlian calmed down again.

Nest grass! It's over.

Both Zhu Genbao and Darkseid were shocked, and they would also have to pay for it.

The two of them looked at Murphy hurriedly and winked.

You can’t pay for this!

If it doesn’t work, leave the group!

Anyway, the five-nation co-governance has been implemented. Let's just withdraw from the alliance and form the Alterac Alliance. By the way, we can also bring together several other opposing countries.

Murphy felt the anxious looks of the two men, but did not directly stand up and announce his withdrawal from the alliance. At this time, he must either accept the plan or withdraw from the alliance, but Alterac must not be the first to withdraw from the alliance. One dry.

It is easy to leave the alliance, but it is difficult to join again.

If Godwin really wanted to force countries to withdraw from the alliance and then attack them one by one, as he suspected, then Alterac would be the most likely target.

Historically, Lordaeron has successfully annexed Alterac. Alterac has a small population and weak strength, and is close to Lordaeron, so it is the most suitable place to take action.

It's better not to return it.

Others probably have the same idea. You look at me and I look at you, but neither of them is willing to take a stand.

In the end, Solanlian was the first to stand up.

Soranlian (Grand Astromancer): "I am very disappointed. Quel'Thalas has suffered a huge injustice today. The Alliance completely does not respect Quel'Thalas's wishes. In this case, I declare that Quel'Thalas will no longer be a part of Quel'Thalas. As of today, we withdraw from the alliance and no longer accept its command. We, the elves, will go our own way."

Trollbane's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he stood up.

Trollbane (King of Stromgarde): "I also announce that due to huge differences in the handling of the orcs, the Kingdom of Stromgarde has withdrawn from the Alliance! It will no longer be under the leadership of the Alliance."

Falstad hesitated for a moment, but did not follow up. Eagle's Nest Mountain is relatively weak and is at war with the surrounding troll tribes all year round. It badly needs the support of the alliance, a big tree. It's okay to talk a little, but it's a bit awkward to withdraw from the alliance. Radical.

Murphy also didn't speak.

It is easy to leave the alliance, but it is not so easy to rejoin. Historically, Gilneas and Silvermoon City left the alliance and later paid a huge price to rejoin.

Silvermoon City was completely isolated and helpless when it was attacked by the Scourge Legion, and the capital was directly breached. Later, when it wanted to return to the Alliance, it ended up in various ways.

The Gilnean Werewolf Plague was also unable to get support from the Alliance. Later, it was old Genn who went to Varian for help and reluctantly returned to the Alliance.

At this time, he looked at the representatives of the Stromgarde Kingdom and the Elf Kingdom who left the table angrily.

Godwin had no intention of holding back, but said with a serious face.

"I respect the choices of the two countries, but please allow me to remind you that once you withdraw from the alliance, you will no longer have the protection of the alliance. If your country is attacked or in crisis, the alliance will have no responsibility to support you."

Solanlian (Great Astromancer): "No need, we elves can protect ourselves."

Trollbane (King of Stromgarde): "You are right. The brave soldiers of Stromgarde are not afraid of any enemy threat."

After the two of them finished speaking, they left the table and left the conference hall.

Murphy looked at Godwin again, but Godwin also looked at him with an expectant look on his face, as if he was waiting for him to withdraw from the alliance.

Murphy suddenly smiled.

Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Your Majesty Godwin, I think your plan needs to be readjusted. Now that you lack the financial support of the two kingdoms, the previously planned amount of gold coins is obviously no longer applicable to the current situation, and Alterac may be in financial distress due to Lordaeron's economic blockade, and may not be able to do what it wants - although I very much hope to do my part for the Alliance.

Therefore, I propose that in the next few days we should carefully study the feasibility of this plan and the specific amount of gold coins collected. "

Anyway, as long as there is some negotiation, there is room for action. How many gold coins will be obtained is still unknown.

Anyway, we in Alterac have no money, what can you do?

Crying about poverty is all for living, not for complaining.

After hearing what Murphy said, Godwin felt a little helpless. If Alterac refused to withdraw from the alliance, he really had no choice. They just didn't have money, and they didn't say they couldn't contribute.

Fortunately, the plan has been basically implemented. Considering the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Knights, it is a good thing for Alterac to stay.

Godwin (King of Lordaeron): "Prince Aidan is right. In fact, I don't want to see such a result. I am also very sorry that things have developed to this point. Fortunately, we still have a chance to recover.

How about this, splitting up my original plan.

1. Investment in the reconstruction of Stormwind City. Each country will provide funds as investment within the scope of its affordability, and will be repaid in ten years with treasury revenue after Stormwind City is rebuilt.

2. The Orc Vigilance Legion is formed by the joint efforts of various countries, but if there is a lack of funds, they can provide help by providing troops and generals.

3. The Orc Detention Center. In view of the anger against the atrocities committed by the orcs, I think that perhaps it should not be funded by various countries. Therefore, I decided that Lordaeron will independently bear the responsibility for the Orc Detention Center, and all orc prisoners will be taken over. Within the next month, they will all be transported to Lordaeron for resettlement.

In this way, the amount of funds each country needs to bear can be greatly reduced.

Zhu Genbao and Darkseid immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. The reconstruction funds for Stormwind City were considered an investment, so just invest ten or twenty thousand if you wanted to, and since they could get it back anyway, it wouldn't be considered a loss.

For the Orc Vigilance Legion, we from Alterac can just send troops. Anyway, the standing troops of the five kingdoms are a bit too much now and we cannot afford to support them. Sending some out can also reduce maintenance costs.

The Orc Detention Center is even more exciting, as you don’t have to pay a single gold coin.

Calculated this way, it doesn't cost much at all.

After thinking about this, the two of them were greatly impressed by the fact that their brother did not withdraw from the alliance. Fortunately, he did not withdraw.

Naturally, other countries will not object.

So the meeting ended.

[World Announcement: In the year 1439 of the Sky Era, as the disputes over rights and obligations within the alliance intensified, the rifts between the countries in the alliance gradually became apparent.

There was widespread anger among the kingdoms due to dissatisfaction with the huge amount of money required to establish the Orc Guard and rebuild Stormwind City.

In the end, the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas and the Kingdom of Stromgarde chose to withdraw from the alliance.

The Kingdom of Quel'Thalas was transformed from the official camp to a neutral force.

The Kingdom of Stromgarde was transformed from the official camp into a neutral force.

Although the Kingdom of Alterac, the Kingdom of Gilneas, and the Eyrie Mountain dwarves were also dissatisfied with this plan, Prince Aidan, Prince Brainy, and Prince Falstad still chose to do so out of trust and loyalty to the Alliance. Stay in the Alliance and continue to fulfill your mission.

But despite the success in saving the alliance, centrifugal ideas within the alliance are inevitable.

The event has been recorded in the Chronicles of the Sky. 】
