Card King Card King, why did you go through so many years of not smelting steel and taking the road of farming and domination?

Carlos looked at the problem with the most tender eyes.

Look at my mouth shape———— shit.

On the way back to Alterac from Hinterland, Carlos naturally headed to the Eagle's Nest Mountain, and also made a trip to the processing plant deep in the snowy forest.

Breathing in the smell of fuel and oil smoke, the bleak situation completely cut off Carlos's thoughts of "steel torrent".

No wonder the Iron Lord would become a conqueror and then embark on the path of redemption.

Relying on subjective initiative to develop industry really can't save Azeroth.

The production of a steam tank requires 137,544 hand-polished tight parts, 41 days of intense work by 327 dwarven blacksmiths, 53 days of assembly and debugging of 176 dwarf buses, 1,642 human workers for raw material smelting, and nine intermediate mages for material enchantment.

Without a great coalition, it would be a joke to rely on the more than 800,000 people of Alterac for an industrial revolution.

Carlos has indeed been promoting the development of productivity for a long time, but with little success.

Three steel mills and two alchemy workshops are already the best cards.

And then there was no then.

Any reform that is detached from the grassroots is destined to be nothing more than a castle in the air.

The greatest manifestation of the Industrial Revolution is the large-scale industrial production, which concentrates all seven million humans on the continent of the Eastern Kingdoms, and may be able to break out with the blessing of magic, such as the future Skyfire.

But in this situation, Carlos can only make this guarantee to his army: the sword and armor are enough.

It's a great achievement, but it's useless.

Farming won't save Azeroth.

In the days since he left, beneath the seemingly stable appearance of the Lordaeron Alliance, there has been a disintegration of people's hearts and a sharp turn for the worse.

Carlos finally woke up to the fact that it was not the Cursed Cult or the Undead Scourge that ended the Lordaeron Alliance, but humanity itself.

Silver Dawn's work has been fruitless, and the Cult of the Damned has suffered a righteous blow from the Holy Light in cultivating and spreading the plague, and the undead plague has been contained in the depths of the mountains and forests far from the people.

But the Lordaeron Alliance, it seems, can already foresee its end.

This military-political organization, which once defended the last right of existence of mankind against the orc invasion, is losing the legitimacy and legitimacy of its existence.

Once an unbreakable alliance is now on the verge of collapse.

Because of a drought that won't be mentioned in the game.

It wasn't the kind of drought that swept across Azeroth, but this year's summer harvest was a bumper harvest in the area north of the Wall of Soladin, and even the hardy crops on the Otlante Plateau were harvested very well, and the price of food in the kingdom of Lordaeron even hit a five-year low.

But on the other hand, Riptide, Ironforge, and Stormwind, the areas south of the Wall of Soradin, have failed to harvest due to drought, and a foreseeable famine seems inevitable.

When the regime in the South tried to ask for help from its fellow Allies, it was discovered that times seemed to have changed.

The political aftermath of Terenus's assassination seems to have revealed its terrible side at this point.

Quel'Thalas is currently in a state of virtual seclusion, and it is obviously impossible to expect to buy food from the High Elves.

Gilneth has not formally signed the agreement, but has given up the territory of the Silver Pine Forest, which was disputed by the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and has essentially broken away from the alliance.

Dalaran is only a porter of magic, not producing food, and Autland has always been on the verge of food self-sufficiency, importing large quantities of daily necessities every year.

Therefore, in fact, only the kingdom of Lordaeron has food in its hands.

But in Terenas. After Minecil II's health deteriorated, he no longer had enough energy to deal with the problem.

However, Alsace, who had hoped to deal with this problem, went to sea.

What was originally a purely commercial issue became a serious political issue after being mixed with the alternation of royal power.

Due to the unrest of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, the Wild West, once the main frontier of the Elwyn region, was not only unable to provide food to Stormwind, but even consumed a lot of supplies because of the garrison.

But you can blame Varian. Wryon what?

His queen was stoned to death by the mob.

Terenus was short on the line, and all his limited energy was devoted to paving the way for Arthas's succession.

The so-called alliance meeting, everyone is responding, but no one is organizing.

Carlos realized that he had focused too much on the destruction of the Cursed Sect and ignored the discordant noise within the Alliance.

The most terrible thing is that he also pulled more than 20,000 high-level elf immigrants from Eresaras......

When Carlos thought of the 20,000 mouths to eat and drink, he simply did not have the confidence to discuss the grain trade with his friends in the South.

This is called asking for a personal life.

Until then, Carlos only hoped to awaken the Alliance's sense of crisis through limited damage, so as to write the leadership of the Alliance.

But a drought tore apart the fragile ties within the alliance.

Carlos is not the only smart man, many see the threat of the alliance falling apart.

But what does this have to do with me?

The High Lords and Nobles of Lordaeron have a perfect excuse to rip off a piece of flesh from their fellow citizens to the south under the guise of Terenus.

And Carlos said that everything was wrong because of his son's stab to his father's grandfather.

The only designated game-breaker is still floating at sea.

Although the food crisis will not erupt so quickly, it is destined to be a crisis until the food stocks everywhere are depleted.

But Carlos did not dare to let his guard down against the Cursed Sect at all.

He never forgot that the greatest way the disease of the dead spreads is through the corruption of food.

Just as Carlos summoned Silver Dawn to prepare for a targeted precaution against a possible plague ration, bad news came.

The largest granary in Stratholme City was set on fire by gangsters, and at least enough food rations for 10,000 people for a year were burned.

At the same time, there was information of a granary fire in all parts of Lordaeron, even in the Alterac area.

Carlos takes this very seriously.

Although the territory of Alterac appears to be vast, it is in fact divided into two parts, the Hillbride region and the Kerdaron-Anhador region, which are connected by the Alterac Plateau Passage and the waterways of Lake Lordanmere.

At this sensitive moment, Carlos could not use the political influence of the Alterac Kingdom to do more, and could only command Silver Dawn to do what he could while waiting to see what he could do.

Then, rumors that Lordaeron burned grain in order to raise the price of food spread in a very short period of time.

After being anxious for a long time, Carlos finally couldn't help but say to Galia, "I must go to Lordaeron to meet your father. ”
