Chapter 136: Thunder in the North (Part II)
The height of the floating tower is lowered again, and the bottom is almost touching the ground.
Shane's first impression when he stepped on the ground in the Northland was that the snow was hard and the soles of his shoes were cool. The docks were littered with burned embers, but the heat radiation didn't add much to the air.
Winter in the Northland doesn't end until the beginning of May, and the snowmelt season is the most uncomfortable, when the wind blows cool down the elves' necks. Shane put a thermostat on himself to resist the cold.
The captives were enclosed under a cliff. Their camp sits north and faces south, and is built in a bay surrounded by a mountain cliff. Counting the living, there were 1,190 people, more than 800 men, and the rest were women and children.
More than a hundred rangers entered the prisoner camp with knives and selected some talents who could be appointed. Because there are some 'goods' belonging to pirates among the captives, they can be used as miscellaneous servants to reduce the burden on the elves.
"These pirates will not hesitate to die all of them!"
When Shane and his subordinates were exploring the Harbor Leyline Demon Net, Aurelia broke through Shane's guards and came to him with a murderous look.
Her team of rangers rescued several female elves from the pirate's treasury, their eyes glazed over, and their hair smelled fishy.
"What does it taste like?" The smell of the alchemical potion was obvious, but Shane couldn't remember what it was.
"It's the smell of hallucinogenic potions," Aurelia said to him.
Needless to say, what happened to a few female elves can be imagined. The pirates of the North Sea and the thieves of humanity are engaged in a special business other than robbery: the slave trade.
The eldest lady sees the dark side of the world for the first time, so she is full of anger and finds Shane and asks for revenge.
Mildness does not equal indecision. "All the big and small bosses will be executed, and the remaining ten will be killed," Shane responded to the eldest lady's anger. "Sarufin"
"My lord, I'm here"
In Shane's shadow, a figure floated out. "Go and look carefully to see if there is a logistics bill, receipt, cashier or shipping bill or something, and leave it to me."
"Obedience"
Die for Shane's life and find the stalker of Maradon. With a petrified curse in his body, he experienced the pain of cutting most of his skin back and forth every day to maintain his life, and his strength increased greatly after healing. His fiery spirit touched the side of the Shadow Master. Can drive the shadow to work for him.
Aurelia saw that Shane was so decisive, and she opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.
Shane kept his agreement with Sylvanas and must avoid contact with Aurelia, and if there is a situation that cannot be avoided, he will solve it as soon as possible. The consequences of knocking over Sylvanas' vinegar jar are not good.
The treatment of pirates is not improvised, and there are two ways to rule, showing enough mercy or having enough brutality. Cruelty to the wicked and mercy to the good are like mirrors, always consistent inside and out.
The pirates' slave trade goods were extensive, and the rescued 'goods' consisted of more than 200 walrusmen, who were mentally exhausted and had wrinkled skin like dried pickles. Circled by the sea and fed two meals of fish. The condition is much better.
Deal with them, use them as a bridge of friendship to build elves allies in the Northlands, and then use the cultural and technological advantages of the elves to slowly make them a vassal race.
"Master, the instrument instructs, the leyline magic network node is under the reef outside the harbor."
Their mapping was the same as Shane's perception: "Thank you for your hard work, get ready to start, explore the environment, and come up with a construction plan." ”
Around the same time, Tallonicus had also finished surveying his surroundings. He quickly pulled out a sketch for Shane to look at. The city of Northland was expanded with the construction of the North Sea Pirate camp structure, and the city walls were heightened and reinforced. The Ranger Barracks was built at the top of the cliff and fortified as an acropolis to fortify it. The town system establishes the location of the pirate's original treasure trove. However, the street area is separated from the dock area by a wall, which divides the elves from the other races.
"The construction will be handed over to you, and I will discuss the labor problem with the Windranger and give you priority."
The initial investment in the Northland was dozens of times that of the Kalimdor outpost, but fortunately, the Windranger and the Dawnblade were half open, and Shane would not go bankrupt personally. The belly of the floating tower contains tens of thousands of tons of building materials and daily necessities. At least until this time next year.
There are human captives, and there are exiled elves. Right at the base of the floating tower, a room converted into a beehive serves as a makeshift prison. More than 300 exiled elves were escorted to the surface by the army. They would become petty overseers, or yeoman farmers, or municipal errand runners, or artisanal owners. For elves who don't know anything, the cold winds of the Northland will make them master a skill.
"Bring Passario here," Shane said to his guards.
Soon, Passario, a member of the parliament, was brought in. He has a prison device equipped by the Ministry of Justice to deal with spellcasters, and although the higher the number of rings, the lower the effect, but the torture device represents authority. There weren't many options for Passario, his backstage couldn't save him, he had only two options, either obey or die.
"Have you figured out how you're going to survive in the Northlands?" Shane asked him.
"Please let me live as a mage"
Shane listened to his words and obeyed his fate, but not everyone can be trusted with a word. Looking at his straight body, the pride in his heart did not give up, even though the arcane skills were crushed by Shane.
"Twenty Years"
"Okay, just twenty years"
Shane asked him to take him away, and he would not be given a torture instrument for twenty years. Even if his obedience is pretended, how much of the qi in his heart can be left after twenty years of pretending! At that time, he was unfortunately not loyal to Shane, but he was afraid that he would be integrated into the system of the Northlands, and serve the system of the Northlands for wealth and glory.
"Then you start with the Puppet Workshop"
Passario was silent
With everything arranged, it was not so easy for the team to move, and it was indispensable for a team of thousands of people to keep their arms running-in, but the vital order to carry out the order smoothly up and down Shane was not worried at all. The Dawnblade has him, and the Windranger has Sylvanas. No matter how much Aurelia didn't like Shane, she wouldn't be able to do anything that destroyed the common efforts of the two races.
So at this time, hurry up and coordinate well, and it is true to move.
"Where's Sylvanas?" She is the actual talker of Windranger, and Shane is the first to find her when there is something, and his career is beginning to be inseparable from the female elf.
No sooner had the team finished packing up than Sylvanas vanished from Shane's view. Soon received a message that Miss Sylvanas was leading a team to explore the environment of the island.
The female elf goes with the wind and returns with the wind.
The winds of dawn sent her home with a load of ice wolves, Frost Chimera Northland bighorn deer, fat walruses, and the corpse of a giant, and several large chests of treasure.
"Northland, a wild and beautiful world" The female elf reveled in her work: "Danger and wealth coexist, I fell in love with this land"
"So?"
"I want to stay here"
"No," Sean shook his head.
"Why?" The elf's eyes widened dumbly, and Sean was against her for the first time.
"If Sister Er's not here, wouldn't it give the eldest sister a chance?" Wenresa said behind Sylvanas' back, sticking her tongue out at Sean.
"Yes," the elf nodded, "then leave Aurelia in the Northlands."
"No," Shane shook his head, the Windrangers and the Dawnblade cooperated, and on the day that Shane left the Northlands, the Northlands needed a coordinator with no family position, an elven leader who could call the shots at critical moments.
Shane does not have an elf under his command who is suitable for a coordinator, and he must have sufficient qualifications, the skill of a leader, and the ability to reconcile contradictions.
"Only...... I would like to ask the Duchess of Marand what he means," said Shane.
"But she's the king," Sylvanas said with a frown.
"Yes, but we have other organizations to counterbalance her" Shane explains to the elves: "I want to start a Northland militia"
The military organization of the Civil Volunteer situation, bypassing the Parliament, the King, and controlling the military organization in the hands of the Dawnblade and the Windranger.
"and may include other races."
The above is the tacit understanding that belongs to Shane and the female elf.
Kalimdor also needs to form a corresponding organization. (To be continued.) )
