55. Future planning (I)
"Tulayan, how is the repair of the fleet?"
Dick sat on the main seat in the hall of the Storm Fortress, and on either side of him, the leaders of the various factions from Azeroth, Draenor, and Argus sat respectively, and he looked at the commander-in-chief of the fleet sitting on the side, and Tulayan replied in a calm voice,
"It seems to be good at the moment, although the soldiers are a little tired after the end of the Krokun Star War, but we have won after all, this is a big victory that has never been seen before, after 3 days of recuperation, they have regained their combat effectiveness, but the captains who have lost the starship are generally not in high spirits, as well as the ground assault forces, their casualties are high, and it may take more time. ”
"Well, then give them more time. ”
Dick bowed slightly, "Next we are going to attack the Antoran wasteland, after capturing the fortress of Antorus, it will represent the complete victory of the Argus expedition this time, as for those demons, we don't have enough military strength to deal with them, so I plan to use the starship, after capturing the throne of Antorus, wait for the Sagrete Keystone to recover, and then we can return." ”
"It's better to kill all those demons with starships! they won't be a threat to our fleet anyway!"
The bearded Black Iron King Thoresen exclaimed, "This is a one-sided slaughter, I don't think anyone will have sympathy for those demons!"
This suggestion was quickly accepted by the captains present, and although the battle was won, the loss also made every captain extremely distressed, and only 50 of the 90 Assault Star ships were left intact, and almost everyone present had black ribbons on their arms, representing mourning for the dead.
In the midst of this mass casualty, everyone's murderous spirit had been stirred up, and they didn't think it would be a good idea to let those demons exist, but Dick reached out to stop the discussion of the Holocaust.
"Okay, there's no need to waste time on this issue, don't forget, the Burning Legion still has a Dark Titan, once he comes, none of us will want to run, no one can escape, so the danger still exists, friends, the Burning Legion is not so easy to be defeated. ”
After killing Kilgardan with his own hands, Dick's prestige was at its peak here, and he vetoed the proposal so that no one would object, and Dick also wore a black ribbon around his arm, which was his tribute to the heroic deaths of Torrim, Hodir, and Ignis.
Those who have fought for justice and hope deserve it, no matter what honor they receive, and this is the honor they deserve.
After the discussion was over, the representative of the Light Legion, a petite female Commander Ereda, stood up and told her somewhat unfamiliar audience about something else.
"We of the Light have been stationed in the ruins of Makere, and recently we have observed a special thing that needs to be reported to you. ”
This Priest of the Holy Light of Ereda was a little nervous under the gaze of the big guys, her tail flicked, first glanced at Tulayan, after all, in the past ten years, Tulayan has been their leader, and then she looked at the old prophet Viren who was leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, the old man resisted the attack of the starship's main gun in the Battle of Krokun, and death almost passed by, and he is still in serious weakness.
But he finally got his life back.
"Say it, Trixis, don't be inhibited!"
Tulayan waved at her, and the priest took a deep breath and said in a clear voice,
"It's about the Eredas, our demonized compatriots, who, under the leadership of an Eredan named Nestor Oreth, have formed an organization called the "New Ereda", and have gathered more than 3 demonized Eredas to gather in the land between the Antolan Wastes and Makery, and some will often enter the Makere's ruins. ”
The priest of the Holy Light named Trithis glanced at the pensive Dick, I don't know if it was her, all the soldiers of the Holy Light Legion were very curious about this Holy Light Surrogate who was said to be another world, and it was said that the fighting state of this Substitute was very much like the holy angel in the legend of Argus!
It was he who put an end to Kil'Gardan's tens of thousands of years of dark reign.
But Trixise hadn't forgotten her mission, so she quickly reined in her thoughts and continued,
"The commanders of the Legion of Light feel that this new Eredar organization will be an unstable regional factor, as they don't seem to have a very strict screening system, it is easy to infiltrate demonic spies, and they are also a very big security hazard near the Makere's ruins. ”
"I'm done, thank you!"
Trixise bowed very politely, and then walked out of the hall under the guidance of the guards, and the next thing that the leaders were going to discuss was obviously not suitable for a young priest to participate in.
"What do you think?"
Dick knew of Ereda Twins' careful thoughts, of course, but he didn't object, because the Twins were quite high in terms of intrigue and intrigues, and they were naturally hateful when they were opponents, but they were very worrying when they were subordinates.
"Then leave it to me. ”
Tulayan looked around and said,
"You may not have much contact with the demonized Eredas of Argus, but I would like to say that these guys are actually more difficult to deal with than real demons, and there are very few demons among the demons who are good at cunning except for special species, such as soul judges and Nasrezm, but the Eredas, this kind of half-demon inherits the cruelty of the demons, but also has the wisdom of the Eredas, so they are often in the position of commander in the Burning Legion. ”
The commander-in-chief of the fleet rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice,
"Not all Eredas are as easy to get along with as Mr. Viren, and I think this new Eredar may indeed be a hidden danger of instability as Trixis said, and I don't recommend bringing the Eredans back to Azeroth, their personalities are not suitable for coexisting with mortals, it is too dangerous!"
Tulayan was the most knowledgeable of all the demonic Eredas in this room, and during the time he had been fighting across the world, he had almost hated these cunning half-demons who had caused the Legion of Light to suffer almost to the core.
His speech was also recognized by many people, but there were also those who were dismissive.
"I don't think they're going to be a problem. ”
Admiral Taylor of Stormwind City, and Captain of the Urien, considered the problem from another angle, "How many Eredas are there who belong to the New Ereda Organization? There are only a hundred thousand people in the sky, not even as many as the elves of the Shakan world, but how do we deal with those elves?
Captain Taylor looked at Admiral Barnes, the captain of the Yongge, who was sitting opposite,
"I've heard that even the most philanthropic lady Tyrande is reluctant to admit that the elves have the same rights as Cadore?"
"Of course, how can those unbelievers be compared to the people who believe in the moon god?"
Barnes, the sentry commander, wore a well-fitting captain's uniform and said cruel words with a calm face, "They haven't even formed their own civilization, and the discussion about them within Kadore has not stopped, and as far as I'm concerned, unless they believe in the moon god from the bottom of their hearts, I won't agree to let the Shakan Elves enter Kadore's territory!
"Look! That's the problem, friends!"
Taylor spread his hands and concluded, "The Shakan Elf Maids are very popular in Azeroth, and I guess this group of Eredians will be the same result, their numbers are the biggest disadvantage, and we are very tight on manpower right now, and we can't afford to waste too much energy on these details." Let them settle their own affairs, let's deal with the matter here quickly, this planet is simply full of malice towards us!"
Dick was also noncommittal about Taylor's claim, and he turned to look at Viren,
"Prophet, what do you think, they were once your countrymen. ”
"Ahem..."
Viren coughed, "I think about the same as Mr. Taylor, although I single-handedly presided over the establishment of the new Ereda, I don't have much trust in them, 25,000 years can change too many things, if I can, I also agree with General Tulayan, I would rather take the people of Hatton into Azeroth than bring them into Azeroth until they have passed enough tests." ”
"Nor will my people agree, they have committed unimaginable crimes against my people in the past years, which is not much worse than hatred. ”
"Well, in that case, you don't mind hearing my opinion again, right?"
Dick propped his hands on the table and looked around, naturally no one would refuse, so the paladin cleared his throat and spoke,
"General Taylor is not wrong about one thing, when discussing the belonging of the Eredas, we can't forget those immortals of Shakan, the Shakan elves who have not been recognized so far, and the Shakan dwarves who have been limited in acceptance, friends, look up and look around, Azeroth has entered the star field, we will encounter more similar problems in the future, there is not only one Azeroth between the star fields, but also more civilizations, more races. ”
"What are we going to do with them?" is something I've been thinking about in my spare time, and while I'm not willing to interfere too much in the affairs of the mortal realm, at least in this matter, I don't support Lady Tyrande's idea, yes, General Barnes, listen to me!"
Dick stretched out his hand to stop the Sentinel General who was about to say something, and he accentuated his tone,
"All of you here, you are all commanders and even rulers in your respective countries, so do you know the number of creatures in the entire Azeroth civilization?"
Dick looked around, in this magical civilization, there are not many scholars who specialize in sociology, so the answer to this question is vague, but as the world manager, he knows the population of Azeroth, so he gives the answer.
"Humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, minotaurs, trolls, gnomes, goblins, pandamen, even with the addition of Thorville and Earth Spirits, and my Iron Legion, our world population is only 8,700, and do you know how many people can be fed in the entire world of Azeroth without destroying the ecological environment?"
This question opened the eyes of Viren, who had been closing his eyes and contemplating, and obviously, he was also curious.
Dick didn't sell it either, and gave the answer,
"At the height of the world of Argus, with a population of 230 million, Azeroth was about the size of Argus, and Lord Elune, the star spirit, told me that our world could host... 6 billion people! We use less than 60 percent of the world's land. ”
"Titans are on top!"
"Oh my!"
"Holy Light!"
This answer made everyone in the audience can't help but sigh, they can hardly believe what the concept of 6 billion people is, even the once ruled a world Viren and the well-informed Tulayan were shocked.
In fact, Azeroth can definitely afford the title of sparsely populated, and the undead scourge that Arthas has painstakingly gathered and swept almost a quarter of the world is only 600, which is not even as good as the population of a province in Dick's previous life, which is not only related to Azeroth's current undeveloped productive forces, but also related to the "elite" culture that prevails in magical civilizations, of course, this is complicated to explain.
And Dick didn't just say it casually here, he had actually been thinking about it in his heart for a long, long time, and now that he had won an unimaginable victory, he felt that the time was ripe, and before discussing it with those rulers, he wanted to see if these most elite people in Azeroth could accept his theory.
Yes, Dick's interstellar age theory!
This is much more important than the survival of the demons left behind by Argus.
