The threat of the undead eased for the time being, and after a few tentative attacks on each other, the land south of the lake was calm again.

The dead earth could not sustain humanity at all, and perhaps the Forsaken thought that the Crusaders had gone mad and came to seize land that was worthless to them...... Neither side has a lot of manpower to regenerate, and it is impossible to expend valuable combat power for a small stretch of riverbank.

The combined forces of Ironforge and Stormwind are still roaming in the hills of Hillsbrad, the Horde's expeditionary force is alone in the northeast corner of the Arathi Heights, the Alliance still has the upper hand above the homeland, and the Scourge is still entrenched in the north, as long as a small group of Scarlet Crusaders don't play too much, the queen of Undercity is not bothered to pay attention to them for the time being.

For the Scarlet Crusaders, the new officers at all levels managed to control the army, but the consequences of the previous disaster were just beginning to appear, they had to divide their forces to defend the food production area at the other end of the portal, and to maintain military storage and defense in a wider area, and the manpower was already stretched, at this time Loria sent a considerable number of soldiers to guard the North Sea coast, and the Nord mercenaries once again played a role, they were driven to the coast to build a port, but even a broken undead would scare these five big and three thick strong men everywhere。

The conscription process was resuming, but few responded—Ezekiel's first quick crops had returned, and they were more willing to farm the fertile lands of the Atlas than to be a crusader in constant danger.

On the one hand, there is a big fight for an immigration quota and a brotherly breakup, and on the other hand, there is the empty cry of a recruiter's small advertisement, which is repetitive and useless.

A little freedom made Loria a compliment for many, but it also made it exponentially more difficult for the Crusaders to manage...... If it weren't for the lack of a discharge mechanism, I'm afraid most soldiers wouldn't want to do it.

Livelihood is always prioritized more than pale slogans and revenge.

Some conservatives in the army are increasingly dissatisfied with Loria, and they are far from the end of the rebellion, but they can't help but mumble a few words in private after dinner.

Counting the money and sealing the box, Loria saved a small box of gold coins, even if she sat on the richest land in the sky, it was difficult for her to turn food into gold coins, and it was barely enough to keep the organization running, let alone pay off the debt...... After the autumn harvest, Xueman's grain was piled up in the haste-built crude warehouse, and the rest was even rotting in the ground - she would not do anything stupid to trade grain with the Nord rebels and the Empire, whose armies were so large that they lacked only food and weapons, and it would be bad to lose Xueman in order to make money.

The only way out seems to be to sell them to the Dwarven Brewers, the plump wheat is the favorite of the Dwarven Brewers, they make pleasure without bringing any danger to Loria, and are always willing to give the highest price, some conspiracy theorists believe that the Dwarven Brewers are used by Ironforge to defeat Stormwind, A strategic weapon to gain leadership of the Alliance, they buy food at a high price to induce humans to sell them all the food to make wine, and hungry humans bring turmoil to Stormwind, as exemplified by the growth of the Brotherhood of Defia and the desolation of the Wild West...... These rumors aside, Loria hoped that the regular routes of the Bloodsail Pirates would be opened sooner, and while she had no bargaining power, it was better to sell a shipload of grain cheaply than to let it rot.

I wonder how her chosen emissary, Monterosa, gets along with the Bloodsail Pirates?

As her thoughts drifted from Tirisfa all the way to the South Seas, Loria was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if she heard a call, and she jumped out of her chair and walked around, trying to make sure that the call was an illusion.

……

Except for the sound of the waves and the enduring fog that obscured her vision, Sharia walked eastward along the coast, occasionally exploring inland, and for three days she still couldn't figure out where she was, not even whether the ground beneath her feet belonged to a continent or a large island.

The constant sound of the waves made her restless, and the occasional exploration of the interior did not lead to any new discoveries, it was a land of abundance, where the rabbits that were bouncing around the meadows were not afraid of her, and would even approach her curiously, and the woods were full of strange food at your fingertips...... Fruits, mushrooms, and plants that look like they can be eaten.

Miss Kana once mentioned her research, and she discovered that vampires have incredible ability to resist disease, and even far surpass ordinary humans in their ability to resist poison...... In this case, Sharia will not be able to meet what to eat without psychological pressure, although vampires are good at enduring hunger and thirst, but they do not need to restrain themselves when they can...... The disastrous voyage without food and water was also unbearable for her, and she was far from being as easy as she had been portrayed.

She finally made up her mind, and although it was eerily peaceful and quiet, it didn't seem to be much dangerous...... Worried about whether Barka would be able to keep a good watch over the prisoners, she hid in the thick fog on the coast and waited for the sun to set off before she began her journey, and a night's gallop took her back to where she had landed at 10 a.m.

Barka sat on the beach, a few fruits scattered at his hand, staring out at the misty sea, and a little farther away, Renaud and Whitemane had awakened, and they had been 'properly' cared for—bound like cocoons by the ropes they had brought from the ship, and their mouths were stuffed with rags of unknown origin.

That's fine, the two who will start scolding as soon as they regain their strength really upset her...... When did these two once-terrifying rulers begin to be reduced to a commodity?

Sharia looked at her palm, perhaps because of Miss Loria's gift, her strength had long surpassed these two people.

Sharia, who had made up her mind, finally unwrapped the oilcloth package she had been carrying with her under the curious gaze of the three people, and a precious page of magic waterproof paper appeared first, and she recognized the handwriting on it as belonging to Loria, and she leaked a heartfelt warm smile.

However, she soon couldn't laugh anymore, saying something concise and easy to understand the emergency magic diagram...... I don't understand it! What are those cat and fox heads for? Is it part of magic or something else!

Barka also came over to participate in the study, pointing at the random staff members, and after arranging the bags of gems and strange parts according to the drawings into a complex circle that was obviously not quite right, Sharia inserted the white staff more than a meter long into the very center of the circle.

This is something more important than life that Loria has entrusted to her. (To be continued.) )
