In late autumn, the large army shuttles on the path of the silver pine forest like a long snake, and the fallen leaves continue to fall, and the scene in front of them is quite a bit of vicissitudes and desolation. Riding a golden war horse, this situation and this scene reminded Ares of an ancient saying of his Great Heavenly Empire - the road is long, and I will go up and down to seek.

Dirty-faced, dirty refugees, who followed themselves here and returned to the north, only for a promise - the great lord will give them a better life and will build a better homeland. Republic of Lordaeron...... To be the dream and sustenance of all refugees.

Since Gilneth has been liberated, and with the escort of the Third Legion of Stormwind City, it is safe along the way. And, because the Forsaken did not form a unified force, Lordaeron's rebuilding was made possible. Sixty thousand refugees have set up camp along Lake Lordanmere, and this winter, the lake's fish will be an important source of food.

Two weeks later, the army had finally arrived in Lordaeron! Although it is only a ruin, it is the birthplace of the spirit of the Alliance, and the spiritual sustenance of all the remnants of Lordaeron. In Ares' eyes, one can already imagine Lordaeron prospering again a few years later. The tall royal city and palace, the countless envoys and guests of various countries, the petals of flowers will once again be sprinkled on the avenue of glory.

"Let's take a break, and tomorrow, we'll start cleaning up the rubble."

"Don't waste these stones, even though they have collapsed, they are still good building stones, and the quarry is not working so quickly, and before that, we must use our limited resources to rebuild a small city and house these tens of thousands of civilians."

Standing on top of the ruins, Ares confidently said to his subordinates.

Haruka remembered that years ago, he and Gianna walked hand in hand through the ruins of the city, when the city of Lordaeron had just been destroyed. And now, the stones of the ruins are covered with dust......

At night, the camp's fires filled the ruins, and these brave remnants of Lordaeron became the sparks of the continent......

……

Large-scale planning of urban underground drainage systems, modulation of virgin cement, and construction of elevated diversion bridges...... During the winter, bold ideas took shape in Ares's mind.

Especially after visiting the various districts of Stormwind, Ares came up with ideas for the rebuilding of Lordaeron. Stormwind, and the city of Lordaeron before it, are completely replicas of medieval European cities. The problem of urban congestion and squalor is obvious. Especially in the old town, where the poor live, rats and cockroaches are rampant, and it only takes a plague to kill them.

A large-scale underground drainage system was Ares' first idea. How to quickly discharge tens of thousands of domestic sewage out of the city was planned at the beginning of the city's construction, and Ares recalled Paris before the crossing, one of the most famous historical cities in Europe. When Paris was founded, engineers planned the city's underground drainage network so that it could support at least one million people. At that time, Paris had a population of only 200,000.

Ahead of time planning and design, Paris was able to maintain good hygiene and reduce the outbreak of disease and plague after the next 100 years. Even in modern times, the city continues to use an ancient drainage system. This gave Ares a huge shock and inspiration. Lordaeron had to plan and rebuild beyond what it had ever been, otherwise it would be difficult to dig underground when the city was actually built.

However, when Ares told Lordaeron and the engineers of Stormwind about this idea, the engineers found it difficult to implement the paladin's idea, even unbelievable - it was too much work for the refugees to handle now. After all, most people have to put their energy into agricultural production first. But in any case, Ares is asking for this, even if it is difficult, to get ahead of the curve and plan everything in advance.

This winter, they elected a provisional council, which was voted by the common people, a total of 300 people, and the future affairs of Lordaeron were decided by these 300 people, which was the prototype of the parliament.

After arranging everything, Ares and a group of men, about 8,000 people, set out from the camp and traveled through the Plaguelands to the easternmost point of the continent of Lordaeron, the Chapel of Light's Wish.

Here, after four years, the Crusaders met their High Lord, Ares. Ember Bringer.

The moment they saw Ares, the crowd boiled, and they finally waited for the return of the Great Lord, and the High Lord did not deceive them, and Ares returned with reinforcements. The Third Legion of Stormwind, and 100,000 Lordaeron remnants. This was undoubtedly great news for the crusaders who remained in the chapel. Prosecutor Whitemane couldn't control his emotions, and jumped up and hugged Ares tightly, crying with joy...... She waited four years for the return of the Ember Bringer. Her father's last wish was not abandoned, and the Ember Bringer wielded in the hands of Ares as the hope of Lordaeron's new generation.

"Brothers, hard work."

Hugging his former comrades-in-arms one by one, Ares did not have extra greetings and polite greetings, and some were just a simple word of hard work...... How much friendship is in this sentence.

"Maxwell, let's get down to business before we celebrate."

"Say it, brother."

"How many people can be accommodated in the chapel's camp? You said in your letter that it could hold about 10,000 people? ”

Sitting in the command room, Ares asked with a melancholy expression.

"Yes, you sent a message in advance, we have prepared two thousand houses, and a thousand tents, enough to accommodate 10,000 people to cultivate here. Well done, brothers, among these people, someone will become a new warrior. ”

Crusader Commander Maxwell said excitedly.

"I've taken 8,000 men and asked the warriors to settle them, and the priests and knights to purify as much land as they can, to clear as much arable land as possible, and we need enough food and clean water to feed these refugees, and like you said, they may be an army in the near future."

"Okay, I'll let someone do it."

"I'm more relieved to let Whitemayne take care of this."

Ares added.

"No problem......"

"Brother, there is one more thing, I want to discuss with you, with you."

Ares said, looking around. The high-ranking members of the Crusaders were all present.

"Say it, High Lord."

The crowd stared.

"As you all know, Lordaeron is rebuilding, and I intend to rename the Crusaders to its original name, the Knights of the Silver Hand."

Ares said calmly......
