Chapter 47: The Idea of Building a City
The sky is blue, the sun is crossing, only faint and thin clouds, scattered in the sky, this is a rare good weather.
On the ground, Rex and the Night Elves walked forward step by step.
At the entrance of the camp, there were five Night Elves on the left and right, holding weapons and guarding, on top of the tree fence of the camp, standing on the thick trunk of a tree, a famous armor of the same color as the tree, with the help of color, concealed his figure, pulled out his bow and arrow, aimed at Rex and the Night Elves who were walking towards the camp, They weren't at all deterred by the fact that Rex had a Night Elf in front of them.
These jungle hunters who hide on the trunk of the tree have a good ability to hide, but Rex is so keen, as early as the moment the bow and arrow are aimed at him, Rex has already noticed it, although he glanced at the past and did not see any difference, but Rex thought a little and knew where the source of that threat was,
Rex didn't react, looking at the Night Elf in front of him.
"Luna, why are you back? Didn't you lead a squad on patrol today? A female night elf standing at the door, after seeing the appearance of the person who came clearly, put down the weapon in her hand, obviously recognized the night elf in front of Rex, and asked,
"This is His Highness Rex of the Kingdom of Gilneths, he's looking for the High Priest, and I'll help lead the way," the Night Elves said their intentions.
"Your Highness." The middle-aged Night Elf greeted Rex. The body standing in front of Luna. He also stepped out of the way and spoke to Luna; "Go early, go back early,"
Rex was one of the most commanding commanders during the Battle of the Holy Mountain of Hyjal, and there were not a few people who recognized Rex among the Night Elves, and this one had Luna's identity confirmed. There is no doubt about it.
"Your Highness is going this way," Luna said as she walked.
After Rex and his party confirmed their identity, they entered the camp without any obstacles, and entered it unimpeded, when they were outside the camp, they didn't feel like that, but when you actually walked into the camp, you could find the difference, inside the camp. It's not at all the same as the quiet outside, and the camp is very lively. Walking along this avenue, passing by this section of the tree-lined road, the camp is bustling.
In the camp, Rex saw humans, night elves, dwarves, and goblins.
In this camp, there has been a shop pù, this scene was looked at by Rex in the eyes, the light flashed in his eyes, Rex had some strange thoughts, this camp, now it seems, is simply a small bazaar, it has only been a long time, only half a year, here from scratch, gathered a lot of people to come, not only has a flow of people, even the shop pù has appeared.
With a little thought here, Rex could tell that there was a lot to be done here.
Why is it possible to gather so many people in the camp, and there are all kinds of races?
It's not that the fixed portal is stored in zài, which communicates the connection between the Eastern Kingdom and the Kalimdor continent, although the fixed portal is now not open to ordinary people, and the people who can use the fixed portal are either rich or expensive, all of them are big people, but this does not mean that the current fixed portal cannot become a trade road, the world of Azeroth is different from the ancient situation in the last life of Rex, Shinong and industrialist, thinking that merchants are lowly, and here in the world of Azeroth, money is king.
Some of the kings and grandsons, which of them does not have their own company, has their own caravans and manpower, not to mention others, even Rex is not exempt from vulgarity, the intelligence agency established by Rex, huge operating costs, among which the largest contribution is this caravan, otherwise it is impossible to feed the intelligence agency just by virtue of the taxes in Rex's territory,
Therefore, many taxes in the Kingdom of Gilneth are now collected in this fixed portal, and he has accounted for a certain proportion of the taxes in the Kingdom of Gilness, and it is already an inseparable part of the Kingdom of Gilness.
Now it's only some caravans with big lords that can be allowed to use fixed portals, but it has already caused a lot of noise, successfully communicated between the two continents, and the fixed portal is not cheap even if it is used once, but compared to the cheap sea to transport goods, it is still convenient to use a fixed portal, one of which is safety, sailing on the sea, no one can guarantee that they will not have any accidents, after the goblin opened up a channel, it is not that nothing has happened, ten voyages, Among them, there will be one or two unexpected situations, resulting in a certain loss of attrition.
After all, it takes almost two months to travel from the Eastern Kingdom to the Kalimdor continent, and in these two months or so, as long as there are monsters in the sea in the waterway, suddenly wandering past, or a big storm or a huge wave, it is all dangerous.
In terms of safety, he is cheap but cheap, how can it be compared to the portal, the latter point is more important, that is time, the Eastern Kingdom to the Kalimdor continent, it takes two months to go once, and it takes two months to come back, it is four months before and after, and half a year has passed, how many times in a year are four months, and how many people have a lifetime, it is too delayed, which is also a big shortcoming.
So after the appearance of fixed portals, it was a situation and it was very popular.
What impressed Rex the most was that the camp in front of him had no problem expanding from a small market to a small city.
Rex also temporarily put aside the idea of going to see the high priest, but wandered around this small camp, looking at the crowd coming and going, Rex's inner thoughts became more and more firm.
This small camp was able to gather so many people, some of them from the Eastern Kingdoms, and some of them from the continent of Kalimdor.
Although the use of fixed portals, in this small camp, most of the people do not meet the requirements, and they cannot be used at all, but it does not mean that some people can't use them, and those guys who can use the fixed portals have completely become agents, using their identities to carry goods to some people who can't use them, which is not what Rex saw, but Rex himself deduced.
The shops in this will definitely have the agents of many forces in the Eastern Kingdom.
The idea of sending someone to take control of this small camp grew stronger and stronger in Rex's mind.
The goblins were able to make a fortune and become a powerful clan, and the shipping lanes they opened up for the eastern kingdom to reach the continent of Kalimdor occupied a large role, such as Ratchet City and Treasure Bay, the cities of these two continents, which allowed the goblins to earn a lot of wealth, and directly rose two trade princes.
Compared to the goblin channel, this fixed portal is not inferior to the existence of the goblin channel, which is also a great wealth.
The Kingdom of Gilneth alone controls one side, which is no longer enough to satisfy Gilness.
In Rex's opinion, as long as he can control the exits of these two fixed portals, he can at least extend the national fortune of the Kingdom of Gilneth for a hundred years.
A hundred years, this is not a short time, if it is not taken into account, the connection between the two continents will become closer and closer in the future, and a lot of passages and alleys will be opened, such as the appearance of the goblin airship, which will make this fixed portal no longer occupy this important position, and this time will be longer.
Listening to the urging of the Night Elves in his ears, Rex smiled, then mounted on his mount and rode towards the temple.
In his heart, Rex has already thought about it, this fixed portal in the Kalimdor continent, he absolutely can't be reversed, he must hold it in his hand, but this grip needs to be paid attention to, it can't be the monopoly of the Gilness Kingdom, although eating alone can maximize the benefits, but the interests involved are too great, just with the Gilness Kingdom, if you want to eat alone, you can't eat it at all, but it will break your big teeth.
For example, here, the Kingdom of Gilneth is not impossible to occupy, but it can be occupied by troops, so it is necessary to send troops to garrison it, but where is this, this is the territory of the Night Elves, with the situation of the Night Elves, how can the Kingdom of Gilneth tolerate the garrison here, and now the fixed portal has not been officially opened, which is the obstruction of the Night Elves.
This fixed portal is near the main city of Lordaeron in the Kingdom of Gilneis, this must be the Kingdom of Gilneys, there is not much controversy, the real controversy is here in the Kalimdor Continent, the Night Elves have some xenophobia, the current main city of the Night Elves, is not open, which gives Rex the opportunity, that small camp has developed, otherwise, with the distance from the main city of the Night Elves, how can there be a small camp to develop.
Let's knock down the matter of the joint team first, this joint night elf to establish a city here, the temporary conditions are not ripe, Rex has such big ambitions, the most important point is to know that the night elves will move in the future and move their own capital, otherwise Rex has no chance to control it here, so there is only one word now, wait, wait until the night elves move next.
