"How can you ..... like this" Standing outside the command room of the ship's building, Tasha watched in amazement as she watched what happened to the female Naga, and she was a little overwhelmed.

As a wizard, she knew that any wizard took his own safety very seriously. Before they cast a spell, they will always lay down layers of spells to defend against attacks when they cast a spell.

In fact, the Naga wizards did exactly that, but the shields they cast together were easily pierced by the cannonballs. So much so that the whole person was cut to pieces by the shrapnel of the shell explosion.

Tasha was a little overwhelmed.

Arcane magic was one of the most powerful and destructive energies in her education. But just now, a group of Kul Tiras's sailors used some cheap steel to kill a group of Naga wizards!!

Sorcerer!

The name originally represented the awe of its great power! Wizards are not a casual group! Like that kind of picking up a sword and shield, it is a group of warriors, and it is not comparable to a wizard at all!

"In front of a warship, even a wizard can't resist their power." Fenna calmly looked at the wreckage of Naga's corpse on the sea, "Even if the people who operate this battleship are ordinary people. ”

"And what's the point of me learning arcane magic?" Tasha was a little disillusioned, "Isn't arcane magic supposed to be omnipotent?" ”

Fenna didn't know how to answer this question.

She had only followed her mother to Quel'Salas a few times, and she was interested in what was floating around, but that was about it. And she didn't inherit the innate magical talent of the elves, and she couldn't feel the power of magic.

"Ma'am, you're not right."

At some point, the captain came to their side. He leaned on the railing and watched the sailors below pack up the ship's belongings.

Tasha turned her head to look over, and the gray-haired but well-dressed major general sighed with some emotion.

"I once saw an orc shaman with his big green hands that could manipulate the earth, allowing them to change shape at will. He was able to cut off the currents of the oceans and launch waves of more than 20 feet to attack our warships. ”

The captain fell silent, and he continued slowly, "The doubts you face are a reflection of your lack of strength. Truly powerful wizards, they may have just waved their hands, and our warship has already been capsized in the sea. ”

It's a desperate topic.

Extraordinary power in this world always crushes all ordinary people all the time, no matter what kind of efforts you make.

For ordinary people, it may be that many people have worked hard for several years to build a large warship to resist the crises encountered at sea. And for wizards, just a few spells can solve the problem.

It's so helpless....

"You are still young, and you have a future far beyond humanity. Sooner or later you will reach the level of that supernatural power. But," the captain paused and smiled, "once that time comes, it's time for you to protect this world." ”

"Sooner or later, you will understand what the wizards of Dalaran often say, 'With great power comes great responsibility.'"

"Alright ladies, let's go back and get ready. We'll be in Iva this morning," the captain said, standing up and looking to the east, "but, Miss Finna, be prepared to make contact with the Iva military. ”

"I know," Fenna nodded, she had been in charge of the ship for 4 years. Four years was enough time for her to run the ship all over. It was enough for her to know a little about ships.

"I'll contact the navy in Iva and give us a port to call at. I will talk about our cooperation with them. ”

"No, there's more to it than that." The captain shook his head, and he said lightly, "There are more than 700 people on our ship, and our daily consumption is a huge number. We also have to maintain the ships, we have to replenish the ammunition, we have to replenish the provisions, we have to pay the soldiers, you have to take that into account. ”

"And as a second-class battleship, we can't be in the harbor all day. Even if the Iwa let us stop there, the cost of renting a port would be a significant amount. So...."

The captain spread his hands and looked at Fenna very calmly, "You should decide what we should do in the future, we all depend on you for our lives now." ”

"I... Do your best..."Faced with this problem that had given her a headache again, Fenna couldn't help but have a headache.

She turned to watch as the soldiers threw Naga's body off the boat, bitten in the water by the sharks that followed, the blood staining the nearby sea.

For now, all the people on this ship are undoubtedly her most valuable treasure now.

In fact, it's by far the biggest headache she's ever faced.

Her father left her only this battleship, not a fleet. Apart from the battleships, there was not a single ship left. This made it unrealistic for her to think about doing some maritime trade.

Yes, and who would use battleships to go to maritime trade? Maybe the entire Eastern Kingdom continent will make just enough money to maintain the ship, right?

"We'll figure it out..."

Faced with such a thorny question, even Tasha, who was in broken thoughts, lowered her tone.

However, the captain did not delve into this matter. In fact, he already knew everything, and even if the two little girls could not afford the daily expenses of their people, Mrs. Proudmoore would continue to support the ship.

Because he was transferred from the navy of Kurtilas to this ship, he came to Iva on another mission....

※※※

The blizzard stopped, and the sunlight shone through the treetops of the Silver Pine Forest, stubbornly shining on the snow on the ground, revealing the long-lost sunlight in the forest.

During this inspection of Iva's various industries, Locke did not take a goblin airship. Because this matter was strongly stopped by others!

Ever since Iva's air freight company started, there have been accidents every few weeks. This will always cause quite a stir in Eva, which also confirms the advertising slogan of the goblins from the side.

'Goblin products, shocking! ’

Although there were no huge casualties, who would have tied their lives to the products of the goblins? As a result, no one chose to travel long distances in goblin airships, and people preferred to travel in public carriages that were not fast and ran on the ground.

Slowly, the goblin airship became a tool for the Iva military to transport logistical supplies. The military in Iva welcomed this.

This is many times faster than the previous transportation of supplies, and the new Iva soldiers understand that war is all about logistical preparations.

At this moment, below the airship's flight path, a winding team moved forward in a straight line. A cavalry contingent of more than 500 men was marching along the main road.

Locke sat in the cramped carriage, he lifted the thick wool curtain next to him, and through the window the size of a human head, he watched the wheels of the huge carriage below press the snow on the ground, and slowly walked through the woodland.

The space in this carriage is very limited, and only two people can sit side by side, and the same is true for the opposite side. But if it's not a particularly intimate relationship, it's still not recommended. Because if there are four people in it, then the distance between them is too close. It's so close that you can poke it in the chest.

The cramped carriage always made Locke feel uncomfortable, and he always wanted to get up and move. But such a movement would always wake Bridget, who was sitting next to him and leaning on his shoulder, so he could only hold back the anxiety in his heart.

This woman was very active last night, but today it is like she has no bones....

In fact, Locke felt that he was only fit for horseback riding, not for riding in a carriage. A cramped environment like this makes him itch all over his body.

He also wanted to be like Norris, riding a war horse in front of the carriage.

But since the incident broke in the morning, the matter has somehow spread on a small scale. Even Thomas, who had never been very enthusiastic, ran out of the Silver Hand Reserve Knights Academy to find him, suggesting that he strengthen his defenses and not ride a horse if he can ride in a carriage! The point is, this suggestion was also endorsed by everyone!

What else can Locke say about this? He could only squeeze into this cramped carriage....

Luckily, though, since Locke's Fifth Army began to take root in Eva, the infrastructure here has been working hard to keep up. At the very least, the road here has changed from the loose dirt to a simple stone paved road.

It's better to jump from time to time, but it's better than being stuck in the dirt and not being able to walk.....

In the end, when Locke covered his head and stepped out of the carriage with an unhappy face, the first thing he said was.

"Tell Berg! All roads in our vicinity of Iva need to be reconstructed! I hope I won't have such a bumpy ride in the carriage in the future! ”

After a small grumble, Locke followed Shiloh's guidance and walked to the building in front of him, built in the mountains.

"This is the Dwarven Master Builder, the apprentice of Frank Ron Cast Iron. Cridor Mongol designed for us is a cave forge that integrates mining, smelting, and forging. ”

Shiloh walked in front of Locke with a smile on his face and explained the origin of the building to Locke.

At first, Iwa's blacksmithing, blacksmithing, and smelting were all on the edge of Iwa's new town. Various minerals are excavated by kobolds and then sent there for processing.

But as the city expanded, the blacksmith district was encased. With the expansion of Locke's strength and the increase of soldiers, the existing mode of forging armor and crafting weapons has become more and more difficult. Coupled with the fact that the blacksmiths also have to process some products for the goblins, and also have to build some things necessary for the production of ordinary people in Eva, the competition for blacksmiths happens from time to time.

If it's just because of these things, then scaling up isn't a big deal. But what happened made Bridget and Shiloh, as well as Berg, think that the expansion of the blacksmith district was something that had to be done.

The environmental pollution caused by the overload development of the blacksmith district is becoming more and more serious. A thick yellow-brown fog often envelops this new city, which is nothing to humans. But this poor environment made the druids in the new druid district of the city resentful. For this reason, these druids often come to the town hall to protest against the blacksmith district and the goblin district of polluting iron furnaces and oil extractions.

Speaking of druids, it has to be said that it was a wise choice for Locke to leave these three people here.

Originally, these druids were ordinary druids who roamed the world of Azeroth, and they did not have a fixed place to live. But when they traveled to the land corrupted by the plague of the dead, they decided to stay and study a cure for the land because they were deeply moved by the painful wails of nature.

The matter was first known to Anderson's men in the Security Service, and the matter was reported to Shiloh and Norris, as well as Berg and Bridget.

Shiloh and Bridget first held the group of druids back, as they wanted to go further and create a research camp in the Western Plaguelands.

When Locke, who was far away at the Scarlet Monastery at the time, found out, he immediately sent someone to contact Bridget and them.

For this spontaneous druid's well-intentioned help, Locke must have raised his hands in approval. So Shiloh and the others carved out a large forest area for the druids.

Their research was strongly supported by Eva, and as a result, more and more druids chose to gather here. Together, they researched solutions and tried various ways to use nature to fight against the corrosion of the undead. This action of healing on the earth was supported by the Church of the Light, as well as by the Council of Cenarion.

For this reason, the Council of Cenarion also specially assigned some experienced druids to guide the research of druids here.

As the news spread again, many of the Minotaur Druids of Thunder Cliff also came here spontaneously. They used natural magic to ripen saplings and built various tree houses to live in and study. They come and go in the city, researching ways to heal the undead corrosion of the earth, and even cure those infected by the undead.

They even spontaneously formed a Druid Council to coordinate the work. As a rare intelligent jackal in the region and even in the whole world, the gnoll druid Greyskin was also invited.

With the addition of the druids, the safety of the city is once again assured. The Druids also took advantage of the power of nature in the woodlands, as well as their kindness to small animals, which made Iva greatly improved in defending against enemy invasions.

So in the face of the protests of the druids, it was inevitable that the blacksmith district would be moved out of the city. But in response to the druids' request not to damage the environment and cut down trees excessively, Brigitte and they were worried.

If you want to build a house, how can you not cut down trees? If you want to level the ground, how can you not cut down trees? You know, it's called Silver Pine Forest because of the countless silver pines and other plants that are here.

Where can you go to find such a good location? To place this all-important blacksmith area? Just as Berg's hair was about to turn white, he stumbled into the cave that the kobolds had abandoned after digging for minerals.

This discovery made his eyes shine!

An excellent position appeared in his head!
