Chapter 100 Encounter on the Road
In addition to the abundant wind power in the semi-mountainous area below, after harvesting wheat, it can be transported to the mill for grinding and processing into wheat flour, which is very convenient.
Even Terenas couldn't help but be envious of this place, as areas that produce grain have always been considered good places.
Not to mention it is close to the coastline, where fishing and trade can be developed from the sea, making its geographical location quite advantageous.
Among the soldiers drawn this time, five thousand are from the Lordaeron City Defense Army, and the other five thousand are private armies put together by various nobles.
Arthas found the noble system frustrating, where they have autonomy and set taxes themselves. Matters within their fiefdoms, as long as they do not involve rebellion, even the king cannot intervene, only exert influence.
As for the lords of lords, the king has even less power to intervene, making the situation very passive.
A king who cannot keep his word, make decisive decisions, and enforce laws, but instead needs to use political tactics to compete, was something Arthas found ominous.
Although many people were aware of the flaws in this system, no one dared to oppose or overthrow it. Commoners hoped to climb the social ladder through this system, while nobles sought to protect their property and would never allow it to be changed or overthrown.
Once changed, it would mean becoming enemies with all the nobles. When nobles who usually fought amongst themselves united, the explosive power was particularly astonishing.
Arthas would not undertake such a risky endeavor without certainty, especially since he was a beneficiary of the system. Why would Your Majesty rebel?
On the road, compared to the Lordaeron soldiers, those noble private soldiers appeared much more lax, scattered around. After marching for more than two hours, they started clamoring for a rest, claiming they had walked too long.
Arthas coldly observed these private soldiers and knew he would need a reason to deal with them.
"Then let's take a break."
Calia could feel the icy gaze of her younger brother, which intrigued her.
When did her younger brother become so manly? He treated her with warmth but was icy cold towards enemies.
"little prince, it seems this group of soldiers is not easy to lead." Chromie transformed into a human gnome, assigned as an ambassador to Arthas. She was quite pleased with the arrangement as it spared her from correcting so-called time errors in other timelines.
"When life doesn't go as planned, there's always a way out."
"If there's a mountain blocking the way?" Theralion, transformed into a charming high elf, inquired. It was good to have someone to chat with since they would be interacting in the future.
She was particularly interested in this new Black Dragon Queen's choice of spouse. A queen picking another human as a spouse? Quite peculiar!
"Then we'll overthrow it, blow it up!" Arthas chuckled, but his gaze turned cold the next moment. With a sword in hand, he looked into the distance.
"Fandral, bring the enforcement team with me."
Not far away, several noble soldiers were surrounding a father and daughter. The father shielded his daughter from the soldiers, pleading with them while dodging their punches and kicks.
"Gentlemen, we are just passing through. We are from the Kingdom of Stormwind. We've just returned from Baron Kormac's estate. We are not spies," Edwin pleaded with the soldiers, especially the leading noble. He knew their methods too well; they were nothing but demons who devoured people without a trace.
"Nonsense! Baron Kormac is my uncle. Do you think I wouldn't know if they renovated the courtyard? You must be spies! Seize them, torture them severely. These spies from the Tribe!
"I'll personally interrogate this woman. Hehe!"
A pale-faced nobleman smirked as he looked at the young girl protected by Edwin behind her. "She's quite the intriguing woman, from the Kingdom of Stormwind? Just a bunch of country bumpkins in distress!"
Vanessa glared disdainfully at the nobleman in front of her, she detested this kind of scum. "We did indeed come back from Baron Kormac's estate. Is this nobleman bullying us just because we are from the Kingdom of Stormwind? Varianking will not stand idly by! Lord Roton, we once did repairs in your yard, offering the lowest prices among craftsmen, and you even praised my father's craftsmanship. Do you remember?"
"Oh, people from the Kingdom of Stormwind? Haha, who can prove it! Hey, Roton, aren't you a viscount of the Kingdom of Stormwind? Do you know them?" Roton smirked slyly, "Impersonating citizens of the kingdom, a serious offense!"
The viscount from the Kingdom of Stormwind who was called trembled, obviously afraid of being bullied. Away from home and in the presence of a knight who was not even a baron, he felt inferior!
Roton shook his head, "I don't know, I'm not sure, I haven't seen you before, you've got the wrong person."
"Haha, men, seize them, this young lady has quite the personality! I will make you understand the cost of lying!" Roton looked at Vanessa, whose figure was already well-developed, with a rebellious spirit that was quite addictive!
Vanessa's expression gradually turned to disgust as she discreetly drew a dagger and swiftly made a cut on the soldier's arm when he wasn't paying attention. "Back off!"
"Assassin!" Roton immediately screamed, hiding behind the guards, scared stiff. Was there a need to be afraid of just a dagger?
Chromie said to Theralion, "Should we go over and take a look?"
"Isn't it bad to watch the excitement?" Theralion was actually eager, as she had a special interest in this continent.
"No problem, don't you trust me yet?"
Chromie was a dragon similar to Nozdormu in age, not as directly blessed as Nozdormu, but still possessing the power of time, with qualifications far beyond Theralion's.
The Red Dragon envoy Kryssyta and the Green Dragon envoy Emeriss just glanced and quietly followed along.
Being an ambassador was quite easy, and they also had a mission to observe Arthas, a task entrusted to them by the Queen!
Dragons are naturally curious, and Arthas, as a weakling, somehow managed to attract the attention of the Dragon Aspect, which indeed piqued curiosity.
