Chapter 40 Storm is going to be hot

"Magical food is a compulsory course for every wizard."

"Then give me a few packets to take back and eat."

Khadgar rubbed a few packets and threw them over unhappily.

Richard pushed the purse over: "Here is the price."

"These are for you, no money required."

"Hey, this money is not given to you alone, Lothar, you need to change your armor, the previous one with dents and holes, although it witnessed your bravery, but its protection is no longer enough, you still have things to protect."

"Okay, okay, then I'll take it."

Khadgar took the purse.

"Also, Kade, you should also take care of your body. If you don't take care of it when you're old, what will you do if you get a tangle of braids one day?"

Kade said angrily, trying to suppress the urge to throw the money bag on his head, "No need! I'll give all of mine to Lothar." "

Whatever you want, my suggestion is that you should take care of it. See you at the meeting in two days."

After leaving the manor, Richard threw the bag full of cookies in his hand to Onyxia.

"For you, eat them all and figure it out yourself."

"Huh?" Onyxia quickly hugged the bag tightly, fearing that Richard would regret it, and threw one into her mouth, her happy eyes even formed crescents.

"What a silly dragon."

Richard called the owner of the Hearthstone Hotel chain in Lordaeron after staying in a luxurious single room.

"What can I do for you, distinguished guest?" The owner was a goblin, with Virgil on his badge. Sparta.

"The storm is going to be hot"

"The national football team is going to be cold. The great 00001, NO. At your service."

Richard's mouth twitched unnaturally. It would be fine if a goblin was named Sparta, but the number was so weird, even though he knew that '10' in the number represented the department and '086' represented the actual number.

"Send treasure to headquarters, 00002, come to Lordaeron as soon as possible."

"As you wish."

Number '00002' is Vashj's code name. These numbers are the exclusive codes of the newly established intelligence department. Different departments and different tasks have different codes. I think the code Richard just said is the exclusive code for number 00001.

In the secret room, Richard drank the cool tea prepared by Vashj.

Vashj asked as she filled her cup, "Do we really have to give the human kingdom a discount?"

"Of course, if we give them a discount, they will buy more. Moreover, will they really equip all the weapons they buy to the front-line troops fighting the orcs?"

"No, as far as I know, there are several kingdoms that are not in harmony on a normal day. Now that there is a big enemy in front of them, they can still cooperate reluctantly."

Richard nodded: "You should pay more attention to the orcs. This time, humans and orcs will definitely not be able to resist, but I don't want the human kingdom to win so easily. We can sell some intelligence when the time is right."

"Yes, master, the orcs now have an ally."

"Is it the trolls?"

"Yes."

"Then... do we have people in the Elf Kingdom of Quel'Thalas?"

"We have opened a Hearthstone chain store in their capital, Silvermoon City."

"Pay more attention, I have a plan, but now is not the time."

"Yes."

"You also have to pay attention to one place, the Kingdom of Alterac. The little king of this country is very arrogant. After this war, I will deal with him."

Vashj's eyes turned and said, "Master just said that you hope the human kingdom will not win so easily?"

"Yes."

"If a traitor appears in the human kingdom..."

"Huh?" Richard's eyes lit up. "Alterac is located to the north to attack Lordaeron and the south to attack Stromgarde. The General Staff has given a feasible plan that will surely cause the human kingdom to suffer heavy losses, but not to its destruction."

"Yes, Master."

A few days later, it was still the throne room, and the participants were still the six kings, the great wizard Antonidas, and the archbishop Alonsus. Faol and the Kadegan, Richard found a quiet corner to watch the chaos below. Behind him stood the maid Fina, and next to him sat Onyxia, who was dressed like a lady. Under Richard's warning not to embarrass him, Onyxia was forced to eat her favorite cookies in a gentle and elegant way. The cookies she was eating now were made by Fina, and the few packs that Kade Square gave him were eaten up on the same day. Although Fina's cookies did not have magical energy, they were sweeter. So much so that Onyxia had been pestering Fina to make cookies for her these days.

"Ah~" Richard yawned. The discussion of this group of people made him drowsy. Although the alliance reached a verbal agreement, they still couldn't decide who would be the commander after arguing for a long time. After all, a group of kings who were nominally equal, none of them wanted to let others command them. Some thought they had the most soldiers, some thought they had rich combat experience, and some even thought they should be the commander because they were in a strategic location.

Just when Richard was about to fall asleep, Terenas' voice came: "Mr. Richard, what do you think about this matter?"

"Me?" Richard pointed at himself.

Old Terenas nodded and said, "Your mercenaries will also account for a certain proportion in this war. Who do you think is suitable to be the commander?"

Richard secretly cursed the old fox, saying that whoever he said would offend other kings, although he was not afraid of offending anyone.

Richard cleared his throat and said, "I propose Lothar for three reasons. First, he is the only general among you who has fought against orcs. He has more experience in dealing with orcs than any of you. Second, he is not a king, and leading the army across the border will not make you and your people dissatisfied. Third, Lothar is the only heir of the former human empire Arathi. In terms of bloodline, he is nobler than all of you. You will have no problem if he commands you."

The group of kings continued to whisper to each other, and finally it was King Terenas of Lordaeron who officially announced the establishment of the alliance, and Lothar became the commander of the coalition. Several kings congratulated them and returned to their cities to prepare their armies and purchase orders. The only people left were Antonidas, Archbishop Faol, Lothar and Card Cube.

Richard was about to leave, but at that moment, the Holy Light in Richard suddenly became agitated. Richard looked towards the center of the hall, and Archbishop Faol was also looking at him. It turned out that Faol was blessing Lothar with the power of Holy Light, and this power resonated with the Holy Light in Richard. Faol's gaze towards Richard changed from astonishment to relief and finally to admiration. Richard did not understand the meaning of his gaze, but he still nodded with a smile, and then left the hall.

"Who is he?"

Faol asked Lothar.

"His name is Richard, and

he is a businessman." "Businessman? He is actually a businessman?"

"Yes, not only a businessman, but he also has a bunch of mercenaries under him."

"He has extremely refined holy light in his body, which is enough to prove his noble character. I didn't expect that he would be engaged in a profession known for its treachery, such as a businessman."

"He is still very noble." Lothar simply stated his opinion.

Faol nodded thoughtfully.
