Chapter 262: Kurtilas
In April of the 23rd year of the Dark Gate, the supreme leaders of the Dawn Light, Quel'Salas and Draenei, 90 officials of each clan, 3,500 elite troops, 40 search ships, and 1,500 dwarf pilots and dwarven musketeers began in the port of Stratholme, officially opening the road of 'visiting' the southern kingdoms.

The warships of humans and elves have not changed, Lordaeron's warships are still those warships inherited from the original navy, especially a considerable part of Lordaeron's warships are very old, although they are not in disrepair, but the older warships have begun to be repaired, and Lordaeron has no talent to build warships, and the aircraft of the Air Force have not yet been officially finalized, so new warships such as submarines and aircraft carriers are still only in Benny's imagination.
Moreover, the navy actually does not occupy a very important place in Benny's development blueprint, because he wants to take this step and directly use the airship technology of gnomes and goblins to study air carriers, until he can develop an air carrier like the Naru spaceship. The Navy will mainly develop underwater ships to cope with underwater warfare. To put it bluntly, Benny's goal is to contend with a cosmic foe, not just Azeroth. If it were more straightforward, it would be: my dream is the sea of stars!
"What are you looking at?" Kael'thas looked at the cloudless blue sky, Benny had been staring at the sky for a few moments.
"Nothing. Benny smiled. "Why did you run my boat. "Kael'thas has never been used to human beds, so he's always been on his elven flagship.
"It's a bit boring. The fishy but fresh sea breeze made Kael'thas take a deep breath. "Leaving Quel'Thalas, it seemed to be suddenly idle. ”
"You call this 'hypocrisy'. Benny smiled and shook his head.
"Feet green?" this 'awkward' language Kael'thas had heard from Benny many times.
"I don't even know how to explain it to you in lingua franca. Benny himself was stunned.
Kael'thas shrugged his shoulders in Benny's way, a gesture that would allow him to take a break from being a 'king' and become more relaxed.
"Look at that. Kael'thas suddenly pointed to the sea in the distance.
"What?" Benny had been envious of the elves' ultra-distant vision for a long time, and if the ground was completely flat, their vision would be farther than their own perceptual range!
"A couple of nagas. Kael'thas said with blue eyes narrowed. "It's supposed to be those pirate scouts. ”
"Are there pirates in this area now?" they probably haven't crossed the waters of the Silver Pine Forest yet, and there are no merchants in this area for them to plunder except for the 'official' caravans that travel between Stormwind and Stratholme, and the 'official' caravans are usually escorted by warships, not those pirates can provoke.
"Don't underestimate the courage of these outlaws, they even dared to gather men to plunder the shores of Quel'Thalas, even though they will never forget that lesson!" Kael'thas smiled disdainfully. "And I've heard from Gianna that pirates often gather so-called 'armies' to plunder the coast of Kurtilas. You know, Kurtilas is very rich!"
Benny looked at Kael'thas with his expression, intentionally or unintentionally, the fire of gossip in his heart was extinguished before it could be burned, and unfortunately, there was nothing unusual about his expression when he mentioned Gianna.
"You know what the last stop of our visit was. Benny asked.
"Kurtilas. Kael'thas gave Benny a strange look, the formation of the visit had been scheduled a long time ago.
"Do you know that place?" Benny looked up a lot of information and people, but apart from the fact that the orcs had a large number of impressions of their warships during the war, the Lordaerons had no specific impression of Kurtilas. There is no information about Kul Tiras in his previous life, and there is not even a map of this country.
"Ever understood. The expression on Kael'thas loosened his face slightly, but quickly reverted to a blank look. "Relative to human nations, Kurtilas are very wealthy because they have a considerable advantage in maritime transport. That country is made up of many islands, the largest of which is an island called Tidal Island, and most of the people of that country are sailors, and they live off the resources of the sea and business. According to Gianna, since the Second Orc War, Kul Tiras's fleet had lost quite a bit, and the nearby Naga and pirates had been regularly raiding their islands since then. Kael'thas paused for a moment. "That's all I know, and it's all before the invasion of the undead, I don't know exactly now, but I don't think they're going to have a good time, I've heard that Gianna took at least half of the population from Kurtilas! ”
"The league is really on fire right now. Benny sighed, the alliance can be said to exist in name only, the members of the alliance now have their own difficulties, except for the dwarves, and they can't take care of their allies at all, so the Scourge can cause a global disaster in such a short period of time. In the previous life, it was not until the Alliance regained its strength that the threat of the Scourge was resolved, and it was not completely solved, leaving behind quite a few problems such as the Death Knight.
"Aren't you fighting fires?" said Kael'thas with a teasing laugh. "The fire of Lordaeron and the fire of Quel'Salas have been extinguished, and now it's the turn of the gnomes. ”
"The most prosperous fire is still burning, I don't know when it will come out and light the fire, so just saving it can't be done, we have to establish an effective fire prevention system to extinguish the fire before it burns!"
"You always seem to be instilling something in me, just like my teacher taught me when I was a kid!" Kael'thas squinted his blue eyes as he looked Benny up and down.
"Don't you think what I said makes sense?" Benny blinked.
"Whatever happens, do what you want, and Quel'Salas and I will support you unconditionally. Kael'thas patted Benny's arm. "Without you, there would be no Quel'Salas now. ”
"I know. Benny smiled and nodded. "I'm telling you this just to give you an idea of what we're doing now and what we're aiming for. You are the king of Quel'Salas, after all, and you need to give an account to your people. "This is the minimum respect for the 'allies'.
"You're underestimating your place in the hearts of the people of Quel'Thalas. Kael'thas sighed suddenly. "It was you who saved them in the most critical moments, not the 'Sunstriders'. (To be continued.) )
