Chapter 475: Lordaeron's Food Crisis (4/4)

.lā

The time and space in this tower are very chaotic, and anything can appear, which is really troublesome.

Although Egwen and Merry are working hard, if they want to completely eliminate all evil, there is no ten days and half a month that cannot be done. And if you want to completely repair Karazan and completely repair the entire magical defense system, I don't know how long it will take, maybe not a year or two.

In the battle inside Karazan, there were abnormal energy fluctuations, which naturally attracted the attention of the two Dalaran ** divisions stationed outside.

Egwen was obviously not very interested in Dalaran, so he stepped in and blasted them away.

The two ** divisions were naturally shocked by the appearance of the legendary figure of Egwen, and soon returned to Dalaran to report to the ** division Ansrem. Within a few days, Ansrem came to the door in person, asking to see Egwene.

Then he was blasted out by Egwene, who had just returned from Northrend and was in a good mood.

"The people of Dalaran are not allowed to come to the upwind trail in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!" Egwene directly opens the portal to Dalaran and sends off the guests.

Ansrem's face was helpless.

Although it was clear that Egwene could not be heavy-handed, the old man had already expressed his displeasure, could he continue to harass others?

It's just a pity that the Violet Eye, so many mages want to explore the secrets of this tower, and in the end, it was empty, and Karazhan returned to its original owner.

He didn't know that both Egwen and Medivan had decided to give this tower to Jiang Zheng.

According to Egwen, this ruined tower is actually not a good thing, the time and space are too mixed, and there are unexpected visitors every day, which is far less safe than the Guardian Temple.

After deciding to help Jiang Zai deal with the tower a bit, she took Mai Dean to the Guardian Temple. Mainly, she was a little worried about the tomb of Sargeras.

The armored body of Sargeras's incarnation was suppressed there, and now there must have been countless demons, and Gul'dan and Illidan have entered it one after another, and there must be a plan by Sargeras and Kil'Gardan, and she must go back to deal with it.

In contrast, it is not so important to go to Kel'thugad for a cane or something, and I will talk about it later.

This old grandmother with a somewhat irritable personality is actually very responsible.

Merry was intrigued by the telescope in the stargazing hall, and had been studying it all these days, and said that he would live in Karazhan for the rest of the year.

After living for such an age, everything has been looked down, and the mysterious sea of stars can arouse his interest.

Of course, when it's okay, he can help repair Karazan by the way, but Jiang Zheng will definitely have to send more people to help.

So half a month later, hundreds of earth spirits came from Uldaman to Karazhan and began to carry out a work that was even more monumental than rebuilding Uldaman.

And that's not all.

Jiang Zai decided to transfer people from the Fenris Islands to build two fixed portals in Karazan and the Fenris Islands to communicate with each other. Of course, this requires Merry's help, and you can get started with the materials ready.

Merry quickly figured out how to use the telescope.

Jiang Zheng came to the stargazing hall for the first time, but it took three full days, but he still couldn't find the Milky Way, because the universe was too big and it was difficult to find.

Although he was a little disappointed, Jiang Zheng had no choice but to give up, and then asked Merry to help keep an eye on it, and tell him once he found it again.

Then, Jiang Zai left Karazhan.

He received a telecommunications from the arcane mage Duane, and Queen Kalia asked him to return.

The Alterac Mountains, and even the entire Hillsbrad Hills, have an accident!

…………

In July, Lordaeron slowly entered the hottest phase of the year.

June is the harvest season, and Lordaeron, which is facing a food crisis, finally ushered in its first harvest after the natural disaster.

Lordaeron's stock of food was almost depleted, and you can imagine how important this harvest was to Lordaeron, as millions of people were counting on it for their lives, and some of it had to be used to support the Gilneth refugees north of the Greymane Wall, and Theramore, across the sea.

The entire Lordaeron took this harvest very seriously, and even the Knights of the Silver Hand were mobilized and sent to various farms to protect them in case the Cursed Sect poisoned them again.

It turned out that some members of the Cursed Sect who took advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos were really found, and a lot of food had been contaminated with the plague and could not be eaten, which was distressing.

And that's not all.

The biggest problem is, something happened to the Hillsbrad Hills!

The Hillsbrad Hills, now the most important grain producer, bear almost half of the grain pressure in Lordaeron, and two-thirds of the grain here must go to Lordaeron, the Valley of the Hearth, the Hand of Tyre, Stratholme, and even the Burning Wood Village and Andohar, as well as Dalaran.

However, the grain had just been harvested, all the farms were attacked at the same time, the Knights of the Silver Hand suffered heavy losses, more than a thousand recruits were killed, more militiamen, peasants were killed, and at least half of the harvested grain was stolen!

According to various sources, it was the Syndicate who attacked the farm and took away the grain.

The Syndicate is a powerful human bandit criminal organization.

The reason why it is said to be powerful is not that there are many powerful thieves in it, but because there are many more people, even more than the Defia Brotherhood.

This organization has a lot of history.

During World War II, the kingdom of Alterac chose to surrender in the face of powerful tribes.

Later, the tribe was defeated, some of the orcs were imprisoned in the asylum and some of the orcs fled to various places, and the nobles of the kingdom of Alterac were also exiled.

These nobles don't love their grandmothers and uncles, the alliance hates their betrayal, and the orcs don't like them because they are humans, so these spurned nobles are forced to form syndicates, loot everywhere, and commit crimes everywhere.

They grew rapidly, gathering more and more Alterac people, as well as a few outlaws, and growing in size, reportedly exceeding 10,000 people.

Some time ago, these guys have been gathering in the Alterac Mountains and the Hillsbrad Hills, doing evil everywhere. Lordaeron was unable to clear them because of the large number of troops guarding the orc shelter, which caused them to become bigger, and it is not easy to clear them now.

Originally, it was nothing, but I just dealt with it slowly.

However, during this most critical harvest season, the Syndicate actually captured the Gavin Heights at the southern foot of the Alterac Mountains, the Sofia Heights and other places overlooking the Hillsbrad Hills, as well as the valley hinterland in the northwest of Alterac leading to the shores of Lake Lordamere, and even captured the small town of Steinbrad!

These places are all important, and are the choke points of the Hillsbrad Hills to the Western Plaguelands, the Fenris Islands, Lordaeron, and the Tirisfal Glades.

The syndicates relied on natural hazards to block the transportation of grain, and even hid the grain from the farm in batches.

Some of it got to these places, and more food got to the ruins of Alterac City, and even Fort Riptide!

Baron Maxwell personally led the elite of the Knights of the Silver Hand to encircle and suppress, but the scattered Syndicates were very cunning, and the town of Steinbrad was easy to defend and difficult to attack, even though it was captured with heavy casualties, and within a few days, the Syndicates began to harass and assassinate again, resulting in no way being able to hold it at all.

The food that has been taken away will not be able to be made again!

The ruins of Alterac City are located at the top of the Alterac Snowy Mountain, which is full of snow monsters, and the Syndicate has a way to go up, but the Knights of the Silver Hand can't!

As for Fort Riptide, although it has declined, it is the territory of the Thorbain family after all, and it is not easy for Lordaeron to send troops in the overall situation.

But Lordaeron really needs this batch of grain!

So, the problem was on Queen Kalia's table.

"Nicholas, I really have no choice but to ask you to come back."

Kalia rubbed her temples and looked helpless: "It's useless to negotiate, I can't send troops, I can only rely on you!" ”

"Then leave it to me." Jiang Zai said lightly.
