Although Mograini stopped the carriage, Alsace was not for any "convenience", but just to leave the carriage that he was embarrassed to embarrass himself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Arthas got out of the carriage and took two steps towards the edge of the road, which was almost ripe on both sides of the road.

A breeze blew, and a large wave of wheat undulated, and Arthas couldn't help but sigh. Mograine walked up behind the little prince and asked, "Your Royal Highness Prince Arthas, what's the matter?" Arthas pointed to the wheat fields and said, "The orcs just symbolically walked around the town of Nanhai, and we wasted so much farmland. Now, although it is possible to allow those farmers who have moved from the interior to return to their homes, if one day, the Hillsbrad Hills become the main battlefield of the war between humans and orcs, how many of these wheat fields will be preserved? Even if the humans defeat a powerful enemy, how to rebuild their homes after the war is an even more difficult matter. ”

Mograini listened to Arthas's words and remained silent. Although he had learned the mature and bizarre ideas of the young prince a few times, Mograini still felt so strange that a young boy was talking to him about state affairs.

Wenlesa's voice sounded from behind Arthas: "But, after all, those problems are a long time later, and what we need to do now is not to fight off those orcs first?"

Winlesa saw Arthas peeking at her, her face flushed, and she didn't speak. Frost Sorrow stood aside and snorted twice - this nasty little / breasts / part woman is really difficult, obviously the master is deliberately avoiding her!

After a while, Mograini reminded, "Your Royal Highness Prince Arthas, we should go. The speed of the carriage was inferior to that of the horses, and if we could not reach the nearest castle before noon, we would have to satisfy our hunger with cheese and water for lunch. ”

Arthas nodded, and glanced at the empty wheat field again. In a few days, it should be time to start harvesting, and I wonder if the farmers near Nanhai Town, who were relocated, will be able to come back in time. Hopefully, before the autumn harvest is over, the orcs won't have any new tricks.

Because it is necessary to launch a counterattack after the winter, this autumn harvest is particularly important for the Human Alliance. The western wilderness, the two major food supply areas of the eastern kingdom, has been occupied by orcs, and Arthas does not think that the simple-minded green-skinned beasts will take over the farm work in the western wilderness.

The grain produced in the hills of Hillsbrad was more than enough to feed the entire kingdom of Lordaeron, and could also be sold to Stormwind and Riptide Castle. However, in the past two years, a large number of refugees from Stormwind City have poured into the kingdom of Lordaeron, and Arthas's father, King Terenus, has provided them with free supplies and housing, but this also means a large amount of food and money expenditure.

Gold isn't a problem, at least for the Lordaeron royal family. The gold and silver mines of the Hand of Tyr have been in good working order, and no orc sea raiding team has ever set foot there. But the supply of food ...... Alfonso, the finance minister of the Lordaeron Kingdom, has warned the upper echelons of the alliance several times that the grain reserves accumulated by the Lordaeron Kingdom in recent years are running out.

Wheat and bacon, these things don't last as long as gold coins. Normally, only a maximum of two years of grain are stored in the warehouse. However, the influx of tens of thousands of Stormwind refugees and the temporary conscription of peasants into the militia increased the consumption of grain reserves by a significant amount.

At the same time, in order to deal with the possible loss of the fortress of Dammod, and when the war turns around in the future, the kingdom of Stormgard can quickly launch a war to regain lost territory in the southern half of the eastern kingdom, and began a frenzied expansion of its army. And the huge food gap caused by this move is beyond the reach of the barren Arathi Highlands, so this burden is also on the shoulders of the Lordaeron Kingdom.

War must be contained beyond the hills of Hillsbrad - Alsace secretly decided in his mind - the food crisis is a rope that entangles the fate of mankind. While not as deadly and urgent as the knife-like orc invasion, the situation will be even more dire when this crisis actually erupts.

Suddenly, Arthas felt as if he had forgotten something very important. The little prince shook his head and pondered carefully, but he did not understand what he had forgotten. Arthas turned to Mograini, Winlessa, and Frostmourn and asked, "I seem to have forgotten something important...... It's just happened in the past few days, but I can't really remember, do you still have any impressions?"

Although she was not impressed by what Arthas said, Winlesa volunteered to help Arthas recall it. From the beginning of her fight with Mograine, to the orcs in the Valley of Alterac together, then to Mograine and Draketar, and then to Lordaeron, and then to Southsea......

"Kel'thugad!" Arthas waved his hand fiercely, and said with some annoyance, "How did you forget him!" As soon as Arthas mentioned Kelthugad, neither Mograine nor Winlessa were impressed, and waited for Arthas to give a further answer.

"Damn the castle of Dunhold, damn it, didn't Kel'thugad say that the lord there might have betrayed?" Arthas continued, "I forgot to tell Mr. Uther the news in Southsea Town. Mograine and Winlessa realized that this was the message that the strange maniac in the black robe had told Arthas, but because the strange man's behavior was so out of line, Mograine and Winlessa didn't even pay attention to his name.

Mograini said with some skepticism, "But...... Whether this news is true or not remains to be confirmed...... "Mograine felt that it was too hasty to suspect a lord of the kingdom of Lordaeron because of the words of a madman of unknown origin lying on the side of the road, although he was the most inconspicuous little lord on the border, but he was also a lord after all, wasn't it.

Arthas shook his head - Mograini didn't know Kel'thugad's identity, but Arthas could be sure that this guy wouldn't lie about such a thing, after all, Kerthugad was just an academic madman, and if he didn't do research in his own laboratory and went to sleep in the wilderness, something like that would never happen to him.

Moreover, apart from research and experimentation, Kel'thugad had little interest in other things, and it was impossible to criticize a lord who could not fight him. Even if there might be a dispute between Kel'thugad and the lord over the grants, but to frame the other party for treason, this is not Kel'thugad's style - not that he won't do it, it's just that he doesn't have the interest or motivation to do it.
