Chapter 432 Otherwise, let them all go back? (34)
Although he is jokingly called the "Captain of the Urban Management Team", in fact, General Marcus has a high position and authority. He holds a heavy army and controls the security forces of the entire Stormwind City. this level.
This general is conscientious and conscientious. Every day, he rides his horse and patrols everywhere, and the place where he stops the longest must be the Valley of Heroes.
Because this is the gate of Stormwind City, and it is also the place where the memorial statue of the Five Heroes of the Dark Portal stands.During World War I and World War II, when Marcus was not a general, he followed Marshal Lothar and Commander Turalyon successively.
To stand here, under Turalyon's statue, is to still be with him.
Under his gaze, Marcus always felt that the commander was still urging him to forge ahead.
"Nicholas? Why are you here?" General Marcus dismounted when he saw Jiang Jie. Jiang Jie's identity made him dare not neglect him.
"General Marcus, I haven't seen you for a few months. What tortured you like this?" Jiang Jie found that General Marcus looked haggard. Compared with a few months ago, he was almost ten years older.
"Hey! It's hard to say." Marcus shook his head and said: "This is not a place to talk, we will talk as we walk. If you come to me, there must be something wrong?"
"I want to find someone, but after much deliberation, only SI:[-] can help. You know, SI:[-] is much better than Lordaeron's assassins." Jiang Jie said with a smile.
"If Mathias hears this, he will be so happy that he won't be able to sleep for three days and three nights!" Marcus smiled, handed the reins to a guard, and said, "Come with me, Maddy Yas just came back from Westfall this morning, and he's had a... rough day lately."
"What happened?" Jiang Jie was a little surprised: "Could it be the Defias Brotherhood? Hasn't it been wiped out yet?"
When the Scourge was raging in Lordaeron, a large number of Lordaeron nobles came to Westfall by boat and settled here.
West Wilderness is the territory of the Defias Brotherhood, and those nobles who want to survive here must destroy the Defias Brotherhood.
The Defias Brotherhood is indeed very powerful, with a large number of people, even reaching out to Elwynn Forest, Duskwood, Redridge Mountains, and even Stormwind City, but those Lordaeron nobles brought a large number of private soldiers, adding up It is estimated that there are thousands. It should not be difficult to destroy a Defias Brotherhood.
"The Defias Brotherhood has been wiped out, but those Lordaeron nobles are far more difficult to deal with than the Defias Brotherhood!" General Marcus couldn't help complaining: "Nicholas, you let them come to the west The wilderness really gave us a big problem!"
"You can't control the western wilderness in the first place. Isn't it just right to throw it at the nobles? Let them pay taxes. Those nobles are so rich, shouldn't this tax be a problem?" Jiang Jie was a little surprised.
It stands to reason that those nobles who came to Westfall should do more good to Stormwind than harm.
In the past few years, the tax revenue contributed by Westfall to Stormwind City was almost zero, and so many farms were almost abandoned. Now that someone is managing them, and there are stable tax revenues, wouldn't it be good?
"They have come, and they have brought greater hidden dangers." Marcus shook his head and said, "Nicholas, the Sect of the Damned is also here!"
Damn the sect!
Jiang Jie was startled and frowned.
When he made this suggestion at the time, he really didn't consider this level.
Yes, the Sect of the Damned has already infiltrated the Lordaeron noble circle, and now that a large number of nobles have come to Westfall, the Sect of the Damned must have followed.
There were already two forces here, Black Dragon and Twilight Church, and now there is a cursed sect!
The Cult of the Damned is much more difficult to deal with than the Defias Brotherhood, they are not at the same level at all!
It seems that the water here is getting more and more muddy.
While speaking, they had arrived at the SI[-] station.
Marcus' face was big enough, and after a brief briefing, Jiang Jie finally met Mathias Shaw.
The current leader of SI40, who looks less than [-] years old, is not tall, not angry but mighty, shrewd and tough.
His eyes were shining brightly. He deserved to be a ruthless character on a par with Edwin Van Cleef. The current leader of MI[-] is a powerful master assassin.
"Marquis Nicholas? The head of Lordaeron's Royal Assassins?" Mathias was obviously more interested in Jiang Jie's other identity. He looked Jiang Jie up and down for a while, and said calmly, "What's the matter?"
"Madias." Marcus took a step forward and asked with a smile, "Is things going well in the wild west?"
"It's still the same." Mathias shook his head, looked at Jiang Jie again, and couldn't help complaining: "Those Lordaeron nobles are more cunning than the old fox! Thanks to Marquis Nicholas, one-third of MI[-] The hands are all scattered in the western wilderness!"
"Listen! Nicholas, Mathias is very dissatisfied with you!" Marcus joked with a smile.
"Well, it's my fault." Jiang Jie nodded seriously: "I will ask Her Majesty the Queen to come forward and discuss with King Varian to recall all the nobles of Lordaeron back in the name of the kingdom. You don't need to worry about this matter."
Mathias was taken aback, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
Marcus' face also became very exciting.
Lordaeron's nobles coming here must have more advantages than disadvantages!
These nobles, who control at least one-third of the wealth of the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron, have all been brought to Westfall, and according to the agreement between Lordaeron and Stormwind City, since these nobles have arrived in Westfall, It is equal to the people of the western wilderness, the people of this kingdom, equal to the total wealth value of Stormwind City, which has been increased by half in an instant!
As long as these nobles are still in the Westfall, they have to pay taxes, and they have to spend in Stormwind City, and they have to be controlled by Stormwind City. Then a large part of their wealth will flow into Stormwind City, which is not very important after reconstruction. This year's Stormwind City is definitely a timely help!
Moreover, in the original Stormwind City, there are not many places that King Varian can control, only a small number of troops such as the Stormwind City Defense Force, MI[-], and the troops directly under Marshal Reginald. Most of the power in the country is actually distributed to all nobles.
The result is:
A mere Defias Brotherhood, after so many years, has never been able to be wiped out!
Everyone is well aware that many nobles are related to the Defias Brotherhood, and they are not willing to send troops and money to destroy the Defias Brotherhood.
As a result, Gryan Stallman was forced to establish the Westfall People's Army to protect himself, but it was not enough to fight against the Defias Brotherhood.
Now the nobles of Lordaeron came and wiped out the Defias Brotherhood as soon as they came.Although there are still many remnants, but Van Cleef is dead, how much more waves can the Defias Brotherhood make?
The foundation of Lordaeron's nobles is unstable, which is like injecting a stream of living water into this stagnant country, muddying the situation, and instead bringing King Varian an opportunity to expand his power and deal with the nobles!
That's why Marcus and Mathias are so focused on Westfall.
Because they are the most trusted people of King Varian!
If these Lordaeron nobles leave, it will do them no good at all!
That being the case, how could you be willing to let those nobles leave?
