Chapter 137: Forming an Alliance (Part II)
The priestess Marand arrived late, and when Shane was about to launch an offensive against her Iron Dwarf neighbors, she was transported to the Floating Tower by the Academy's mages, and the White Tower Town was handed over to the Academy's management.
The priestess saw Shane alone, but Shane couldn't stand her too direct gaze and summoned Haduron to sit with her and adjust the atmosphere. She brings news to Shane from the south: the Stormwind King** seems to be out of control, the frontier is lost, and the orcs advance to the edge of the Elwyn Forest, a stone's throw away from the capital city of Stormwind.
In fact, Shane knew better, and the information sent back by his followers was more detailed than that of the Duchess of Marland. The information came from the elven mages who participated in the battle. The Storm Kingdom and the Orcs fought in the field on the border of the country, and the result was a thousand miles away, no one knows how many soldiers were killed and wounded, but the feudal knights only returned less than half of the team after the war, and the main force of the kingdom has lost its ability to fight in the field. However, the Duke of Lothar commanded the army and kept two full legions. Stormwind is currently defending the capital, and is investigating where the orcs came from and what their weaknesses are. and the news that the orcs have a powerful group of spellcasters is spreading among the Azeroth mage organization.
Sean also knew that there was no unity within the orcs, and at this point in his previous life, he knew that the orc hero Durotan was assassinated by the orc spellcaster group: the Shadow Council, and his frostwolf clan and the entire orc group were separated. Thanks to the orc infighting, the kingdom of Stormwind has a chance to breathe.
Twenty years later, Thrall, the leader of the orc heroes, the savior shaman beloved by Azeroth, the son of Durotan and now a baby, was found and adopted by the human Blackmore.
The times are changing, getting more and more urgent, and the rainstorm is about to fall on the elves.
Despite this, Shane thanked Marand. Then ask her: What does the Quel'Salas hierarchy think of his development of the Northlands?
"What I have seen and heard, I know what they are thinking," the priestess laughed, "and their thoughts were: sit and watch you build a tower, sit and watch you build an organization, watch you encounter setbacks, sit and watch your tower fall." ”
Compare who will destroy first. It's the funniest thing Shane has ever seen.
"It seems that they need a lot of patience, many, many things"
The priestess nodded in agreement.
"How are you thinking about working for me?"
"If Northland Colonization can have my share, I am willing to serve the common good."
"Yes," Shane readily agreed. Add some weight to the political choice of female pastors.
"Good woman, she is willing to suffer for you in the Northlands, do you understand it or not?" The female pastor took over the appointment and took office immediately. Haduron felt sorry for Shane when she saw her graceful figure leave: "Do you know, in fact, as long as you nod." There is a meaning of communication, and her position stands with you instantly. Men who envy the dead elves, do you understand or don't understand? ”
'She's not the only elf willing to come to the Northlands for me,' Shaun thought, looking sympathetically at Haduron, his words had been passed on by the ring to Sylvanas and Winresa, who didn't know that Shane and the Elfess' Ring of Oath had the function of a teleportation.
As CEO, Marand brought her own ruling team from her fiefdom, and the Northland administrative system changed from a two-legged bench to a triangular bench.
Surveying land, formulating development plans, and organizing manpower reclamation are all carried out one by one. Marand spent a few days touring the island. The island has rivers. There are mountains, there are plains. The small plain near the river, according to her experience, can develop at least ten or more large estates of 10,000 elves and acres. Although Quel'Salas has been the standard of nobility, a maximum of ten lowest-class lords are divided. And the land production is not enough compared to Quel'Salas, but it is made up for by the special products of the Northland, and the actual production is not much, or even more.
To whom? Marand thinks that there will be a few lucky people from the commoner class who will come out on top and gain fame and status, showing the elves of Quel'Thalas a chance to get their heads first. Attract manpower to the north.
Sean does not deny her judgment, but patents on minerals, trade routes, taxes, etc. will not be transferred. It was the cake that belonged to Windranger, Dawnblade, and Shane's favorite partner.
"It's only been a month, and I've seen a different world," Marand seized the opportunity to report to her and suggested to Shane, "Return to Silvermoon City with a full load." ”
"Thank you for the suggestion," Shane replied.
There is no hurry to return to Silvermoon City. Because the environment around the landing island is not safe.
The tribe of the Iron Dwarves is on the north side of the landing island, across the sea from the island, and standing on the seashore, the cliffs of the mainland will be hidden under the arc of the earth. There is a slope on the shore of the landing island, and on the slope, the high-level ranger can observe the movement of the opposite side using the eagle vision. Correspondingly, looking at the elves on the other side of the sea, it is also clear. This distance connects the island to the mainland, and in winter, the sea freezes, and there is no obstacle between the two places.
On the side of the couch, a battle was brewing with both sides ready.
At the end of the month, Sylvanas's elite rangers, lurking on the opposite bank, captured two iron dwarves, and killed one alive. The runes on their bodies aroused Shane's great interest, and the walrus people's spell casting methods could be put aside for a while, but the runes of the iron dwarves were mysteries to be studied immediately, because they were enemies.
In the Northlands, the Iron Dwarves are living Titans.
"Master, are they constructs? How did they survive? Is there a metabolism? Does it count as life? If so, what kind of life? ”
On this day, 200 mages from the Northland lined up in a grand formation to participate in the onlookers in the garden of the Floating Tower.
The people of the mage group kept asking questions? Sean doesn't have to answer them all, it's normal for a mage to ask questions, and where there is doubt, there is truth, because truth is the shadow of doubt.
"Why don't you ask, the ranger who caught them?" Shane spoke, and the mages were silent.
"Master Shane" Sylvanas's subordinates said that they had seen a big scene, and the two hundred mages watched in silence without stage fright: "Killing them is just as difficult as catching them." We found that ordinary swords could not hurt them, and the dead Iron Dwarves were destroyed by the elemental power of this dagger. ”
The Ranger pulled out a dagger with dazzling frost streaks and made a motion, "I was like this, piercing the rune on its forehead. ”
The mages knew the goods, and visually inspected the dagger with two effects, 'Sharp Steel' and 'Cold Element'
"Can you identify your dagger for me?" Shane said
"Look" Ranger handed out the dagger, Sean stretched out his right hand, palm up, five fingers grasping, the dagger instantly flashed into the palm of his hand and was held by him.
The dagger is a good weapon, the master blacksmith, the master jeweler, and the mage who is proficient in enchantment all have their markings, and Sean sees the names of the three makers. It is not a weapon that the average elf can afford to equip. After reading it, Shane passed the weapon to the rest of the mages for identification, and passed it back to Shane's hand after a circle.
"Very good, you step back first" Shane returned the weapon to the ranger: "We'll look for you if there's a situation"
"Yes"
"Everyone, I'm starting to divide the work"
The mages are the mages of the Dawnblade, and when they hear the order, everyone is in awe.
"Divide into three groups, and the mages with the skills of crafting magic items form a group to enchant the rangers' weapons as quickly as possible. The second group is composed of mages with deep research experience to study the weaknesses of the Iron Dwarves, and the living one will be handed over to you first. I will be in my own group, and the dead iron dwarves will be mine. ”
"The specific configuration is as follows......
The Northland Reclamation Regiment is a militarized organization, and orders are issued from floating towers and are immediately executed.
Sylvanas and her team begin and develop battle plans, and the hiring of walrus warriors is also being negotiated
The Iron Dwarf tribe is located in the interior of the cliff, and the cliff plank is full of caves that have been carved out, causing great trouble for military operations. Even in Shane's previous life, there was an enemy who would make a hole if the strong country didn't have a headache.
Shane needs to find a more efficient way to rid the Iron Dwarves. (To be continued.) )
