The job was to deal with state affairs, and the first thing was to release the prisoners, although I felt it was necessary to continue to use them as coolies. But there is no way, since an agreement has been reached with the tribe, it is necessary to abide by and release them.

This time, we didn't use boats, but directly used the newly repaired bridge from Theramore to the mainland to escort them out. As I watched the troops, I noticed that they were malnourished. It is true that because of the hatred coupled with the relative lack of materials, and the excessive labor caused a large attrition of them, especially the Magatha descendants, there is no way to let them massacre a large number of residents in the northern fortress, plus we all know that these are the elite can endure, there is no need to be good to them. And that's why, when we release them, you can see the depth of hatred in their eyes, and it's clear that we're already married, but compared to them, it's their leader, Magatha, whose broking gaze that I realize that I might choose to release her. But these are all external affairs, and the most surprising thing for me internally is that these things were done by Buddha Ding himself, and perhaps he also realized that the country is more important than those so-called holy light beliefs. It's really gratifying.

Compared to these tribal warriors of Magatha, the captives here in Regal on the other side of the continent are much better. Because they themselves did not cause us any harm, so we are not too difficult for them, and they are relatively simple, very easy to manage, plus it is a wasteland work, can always eat some wild fruits and vegetables in the wasteland, and they themselves carry a lot of production materials for their original plan to use in their own wasteland, and their project progress also makes us very satisfied. Therefore, in the work here, we also unconsciously taught them some of our human agricultural techniques, and because their agricultural tools are very simple for us humans, we still returned them to the army of Rhaegal along with some of the cold weapons that we carried with us.

One of them, however, was Murosa, who was a wounded man, but who insisted on his hard work, and although he hated us in the midst of it, he decided to leave the tribe because of Magatha's actions. The first time I saw the warrior, I quickly thought of some of his field records, such as the fact that this orc who was an assassin had assassinated many of our combat commanders and mages, and that he had been killed, but now that everything was a lie. He, like Lexa at the time, left only because he felt the bloodshed and cruelty of the tribe at that time. Now he felt more indifferent to himself, so he chose to leave the tribe for the second time.

And through the explanations of some of the parties involved, I also learned that he had a fierce duel with Mavi, and if it weren't for Mavi's hidden weapons and flashing abilities being too strong, maybe Mavi might have lost at his hands. For such a mighty warrior, I can only say that I am glad that such a proud warrior as him left the tribe, and in return, I gave him some coiling and personally healed his wounds. Yes, my purpose in doing this is nothing more than not wanting to make a feud with him, after all, he has the strength to compete with Mavi, that is to say, a very dangerous element, since I have chosen to release him, it is better to let this glorious warrior remember me well, so that he will not use assassination against me, and I also hope to inspire more tribal warriors to leave the tribe in this way. But apparently he was the only one, and to my surprise, he broke his sword and threw it at Mavi beside me before leaving, and disappeared without a trace. I don't know if I forgot to mention that he could carry it, but he didn't have any nostalgia for the weapon, or even this life, and Mavi seemed to know a lot about his actions, so she motioned for Nasha to take his broken sword.

We all looked puzzled by this, and Mavi took out the short knife of one of his blades, and I realized that so many blades might have come from the product of a strong man like Murosa she had defeated before... The number is indeed a bit overwhelming. I think if I were her enemy, my Red Dragon Sword might be one of the blades she made...

"It's good that you're your own, otherwise my sword would have been turned into a knife by you. ”

I couldn't help but gently put my arm on her shoulders and said, and she gave me a smile, looking very weak:

"So it's up to you to protect Arthas, you have to get stronger, so this is just the beginning..."Mavi said, maybe I didn't mean the basic meaning of her words now, but I meant something else, that is, our alliance in Kalimdor. After the tribal coolies left, our new life was about to begin.

Of course, as a king-to-be, the so-called peaceful new life is mainly political affairs. But at the end of the day, work is nothing more than construction, production, manufacturing and medical care, In terms of education, because most of the southern barren land has been captured, the location of the northern fortress, and the location of another level connecting the barren land to the west of the dust swamp are very critical, and in order to enhance the connection over there, the task of repairing the northern fortress and building the western level and the task of supporting the road is imperative, which requires us to develop the idea of the former goblin farm on the south side of the bay must also have to repair the road first, after all, the original goblin road is too narrow and rough。

There is also production, although the current supplies are still enough for us to last until the harvest next autumn, but in order to ensure that we can protect against the unforeseen, we must try to stock up on our own supplies, and at present, in addition to hunting, that is, fishing, fortunately, the Dust Bay is a good place, but we now have a very serious problem in front of us, that is, the lack of ships and equipment, so we have to face another task.

Manufacturing, the war consumed a lot of our supplies, such as ships, which were almost all destroyed and seriously injured except for transport ships, for which we had to re-produce, and of course there were many supporting facilities, such as dockyards and other tools, iron-making tools, and so on. So in some of the mines, it was decided to add some blacksmith shops and dig in the coal and iron mine in the southernmost part of the Southern Barrens, south of the tribal enclave of Sharp Spear, which Mavi marked. However, to get there you had to pass through the village of Sharp Spear, and I seemed to have some idea of what Malfurion had planned, which was to try to deepen our ties with the tribe. But I'm curious about what would be the benefit of restoring some of the Alliance's relations with the Horde, and perhaps the Night Elves wouldn't be able to look at it through our secular eyes... But that's not the point, the focus is on production, and it's not an easy thing for our alliance either, anyway, our main gathering place is only a small part of our current territory. Moreover, several mines are very far away from our current location, and if civilians are separated, it will inevitably be a new immigration task

Our main territory, the Dust Marsh, is only fertile for cultivation, but mineral-poor. There may be some places in the southern part of the Barrens to explore, but to be honest, I don't want to bother the Black Dragons at all, because I know that if I want to kill them to avenge Sylvanas, I must have enough strength to do so, and now that Malfurion believes that his brother can fulfill my wish, I can only wait and see...

Back to the topic, compared to what is made, the most headache is medical care, the ally of high experience is now very little, but every third high experience has to need a human to heal, counting the high elves themselves This basically involves more than one-fifth of our manpower, and this is almost permanent, for this I can only hope that there is some way to completely eradicate this disease, but for now, this is a fool's dream, our medical level is much lower than that of the night elves, which means that we seem to have little hope, and our medical treatment obviously cannot only serve the high elvesObviously, the task of ensuring the health of other human beings and treating and recovering the wounded is thus becoming more difficult and uninterrupted.

But in the end, the most important thing is education and training, the addition of Mavi, coupled with the weakness of the High Elves, made my original situation of forming a ranger army evolve into a force similar to the Priestess of the Moon, of course, as for the belief in the moon god, I don't care, because in Mavi, I know that they know what to be loyal to even in front of faith, and after going through so much, I know that trust in Mavi is a vital part of my victory in this war.

Of course, the same is true for paladins, I deliberately push Phodin to a position similar to Alonso, I believe that in the current situation, Phodin is no longer so stubborn, that is, the paladins have to stand above the national interest no matter what. Speaking of paladins, though, I can't help but think of something from the past. The main reason why Archbishop Alonso chose him, along with Tulayan, Uther, and Dasohan, to become the first batch of paladins that only has legendary titles is not only because of their excellence, but in fact, to put it bluntly, they are all the last resort choices when the country encounters overthrow. In this case, whether it is a paladin or a holy light, it is only a power used by humans after all, especially after I realized that Akmund was the best at overpowering the Holy Light, and that I had been betrayed by the Holy Light. And the existence of Manic as a paladin on behalf of my backbone, it can indeed ensure that the paladins cultivated by Foding can be completely used by me...

In addition, there is no conflict between the Holy Light and the priestess, after all, the priestess only accept women, and the men naturally have to join Uther. This is similar to the distinction between female priestesses and male druids among the Night Elves. Of course, there must be mages who are not limited to gender, and this important task is entrusted to Gianna, maybe Mavi can also be qualified for some spell teaching work, but obviously the tasks of priestesses and medical care, Mavi is even more indispensable, and there is no way but to give Gianna alone, and Ronin, I actually hope to build a city similar to Dalaran in Theramore or the Northern Fortress, but this is even more out of reach...

In addition to these tasks, there is a lot more education, and there is also the training of engineers, and although there are many dwarves and gnomes here to help us, I think it is better to have some human beings among them, and of course it is also important for the basic cognitive education of ordinary children, and these have to start from scratch and so on.

As for other tasks such as military training, diplomacy, trade with the other countries of the Alliance, and trade with the Horde hinted by the Night Elves, there are many more issues that need to be explored and then considered...

After planning the task, I also knew what I had to do, that is, to systematically coordinate these tasks and make specific arrangements for people, and even for everyone, every resident and every kilometer of land. It's not because I'm so competitive, it's because there are too few people around me who can make decisions for me, and as for Mavi and Ronin Falik, they each have their own specific tasks. Although this is not the first time I have engaged in such tedious tasks, I am really amazed by such goals and realities. Compared to the war, this is at most not life-threatening, but I miss the fighting life of fighting side by side with them.

On my first day in politics after handing over the prisoners, I realized that our current situation was indeed too difficult, or rather unaccustomed to such a task. When Gianna and Mavi returned in the evening, I couldn't help but complain to Gianna and Mavi, and at Gianna's suggestion, they both agreed that they needed to recruit some talents, after all, the experience of Murosa and Lexa tells us that there must be many capable people among the wanderers, and the tribe has obviously carried out the battle before us, so we must make amends. Of course, I also want to take this opportunity to ask Mavi for the return of Falik and Nasha, as well as some priestesses who are good at management, to assist me in completing the tasks I have set. Actually, I'm just saying that, but what I actually want is to let them do such tedious work for me, and I know what Magic is capable of, and before Ronin has come back and Falic hasn't returned to Kurtiras, I still decided to squeeze me, the former captain of the guard. Secondly, they suggested that we should try to make trade-offs in these tasks I planned, after all, it is impossible to complete those tasks in my heart with our current strength, so we can only concentrate on doing some things first, such as education, medical care and material accumulation, after all, this is the most needed thing, as for production and construction, we can put it first, after all, time is not the time.

My suggestion is finished, that's the information they fed back, a lot of their information is the same as I expected, that is, everyone is still more optimistic about the future life, of course, for the restoration of the former territory of Lordaeron, like everyone else, most of them don't have much desire, after all, we all know that there are a lot of undead entrenched there, and we don't have any power to drive them away, so most of them also like the stable environment here, but we also briefly discussed what Ysera warned us, Mavi didn't seem to care about this, she just repeated: if Malfurion trusts his brother, it's okay, then she herself has no reason not to be convinced that Illidan can succeed. And as for my suspicions, Mavi only told me that if things were serious, Ysera would come to me, and that's all I could think of. But it was she who said this, and it seemed that Mavi sensed something. That's what she said to me when she released the captives in the morning, which was to make me stronger to protect them, and to put it bluntly, to train me in martial arts. Although I tried to avoid a duel with her because he was unwell, I found that Gianna seemed to have a good idea, and after the fetus in Mavi's womb was protected by Gianna's magic, I could no longer find a reason to prevaricate. Soon the duel began. Mavi continued to train me with assassinations, and it was obvious that she was still serious, so that I was even more embarrassed by my already physical and mental exhaustion, but before I could find a new reason to question Mavi's behavior, she informed me in advance of her reasons for doing so:

"If I can defeat me, then I can resist the assassination of all the Night Elf Assassins and even other mortal assassins, and naturally I can fulfill my responsibility to protect us" This of course also includes a layer of meaning, that is, they are the strongest assassins in the dark experience, although this is undeniable, but I only want to rest with them at such times, so I began to argue against her words.

"If you don't magnify your moves, you can fight against a top assassin of the tribe like Musaro, who else can compare to your fighting!"

"So you know I'm pregnant, don't you know if you can protect me?"

Before I could find a new reason, I was accidentally attacked in the face by her flashed and swung her legs, and had a nosebleed, I knew that if I was on the battlefield, it would definitely be life-threatening, and before I could stand firm, her more powerful forces followed, I don't know if this continues, I won't be a lottery thing, I even doubt that I will accidentally die here...

When I was physically and mentally exhausted and covered with external injuries, Mavi gave up, and I fell asleep under Mavi's treatment, until I woke up the next day, at this point, Mavi and Gianna had also left, and I continued my mission, but Faric and Nasha had already arrived before me, and it was clear that they had been stationed here to assist me under Gianna's arrangement.

For my appearance, Falik will not first say that I am lazy like Mavi, but report on their work, watching him do it very carefully and seriously and to my liking, I decided to completely delegate power, send Falik and Nasha and some priestesses to help me deal with related matters separately, and explain that if there is a conflict, Manic will decide, and then I can finally listen to Falik's report, and it is true that these priestesses are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, such a task is not difficult for them at all, and my most trusted subordinate Falik also knows my mind best, he knows how to make a trade-off if it is meOf course, as Mavi's most trusted subordinate, Nasha can still give Falic a lot of good advice a lot of times, but the most important thing is that the two of them obviously like to work together like this, although they also have disputes on some issues.

And I went back to the front line that I liked, and to put it bluntly, I went to various posts to see. After leaving my command post, I could have cleared myself first, and after disguising myself as a soldier, I also returned to the market, where I saw that everything seemed to be back to the way it was, and the pedestrians began to settle and repair their houses and facades, and business was gradually restored, and everyone was in good shape, and it was clear that everyone was looking forward to life here, as Mavi said. So I followed the crowds to the densest area, and after more than an hour of slow cycling, I arrived at the southernmost and largest area: the medical area, which resembled a large town, where a large number of wounded and high elves gathered. Now that the war has just ended, and with the High Elves, the situation here is very busy, and in addition to this, Mavi's newly recruited human priestess is also training in this way, plus the on-site medical care is still in charge of Mavi, so this has become a place for her to stay for a long time.

Along the way, I could not help but admire the other priestesses who were also busy teaching and doing their work, and I was extremely moved by the fact that there was almost no fatigue in the busy day and night. It is indeed related to their strong physique, if Mavi's physical physique is similar to that of us humans, I would have let her recuperate a long time ago, so realistically, that kind of life may be a kind of torment for Mavi, it is better to let her do something like herself that is good at raising a baby.

Thinking of this, I unconsciously came to the location of Mavi, which is the central hospital in this area. After entering, it can be seen that Mavi has been busy in the crowd for a long time, and the crowd of people regardless of race and background all show respect for them, indeed, through this war, she has established enough prestige, which is indispensable for her in our human-dominated alliance, but she still seems a little uncomfortable, after all, she is very clear about her position.

She was even more aware of my presence, but because I was secretly visiting, she didn't come over to pay attention to me, but just asked Maite Wynne to send a message to ask why I wasn't in my post. In Mavi's way, I told her to send a message to her to come to me in the cave on the coast at the southern end. I always want to talk to her about something, like the things she raised yesterday about talent, and I think she can always recommend some to me, but I don't think I've started such a task at all, and of course she's very busy at the moment. But I might be able to give her some color in this critical way, yes, I just want to make fun of her right now, and think about the way she confessed to me, after all, that's what I want to see Mavi do to me.

When I arrived on the south coast, Mavi also flashed in, and I came here because it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and no one will appear in the cold winter, but there is a dark hole to shelter the cold sea breeze, so I decided to call Mavi here.

And at the beginning, I "reprimanded" Mavi for his dereliction of duty.

"I wonder if you've forgotten something, Ms. Mavi Minahir. The talent I want, haven't you started to act yet? ”

Mavi couldn't help but smile at my statement, and so did I, but she eventually shook her head at my statement and replied to me in my tone.

"I'm really sorry, Your Majesty Arthas, since Nasha and Sierra are not in your eyes, I don't have anyone else to recommend. ”

I couldn't help but wonder about this explanation, and my tone returned to normal with her:

"I didn't mean that, I mean talent, not what you think!"

"Do you think I'm going to leave those people in Ashenvale? I brought everything I could, and Kordana was just an accident..."

As for Mavi's explanation, it was clear that she might have misunderstood what I meant.

"Don't you have a demigod friend?"

"Demigods have their own duties, they don't interfere with our mortal lives easily, and people like Crassus and Karegos who have helped you in the past probably won't appear in the future. ”

"I almost forgot about them," I couldn't help but pat my head, yes, they were gone after the Burning Legion confrontation, but to Mavi's words, "Why aren't they showing up?"

"They don't have to, for example, Crassus has completed his mission to guide you humans to the Burning Legion in the end, and the Queen is only one of his spouses, she won't let him travel easily. Secondly, the blue dragon doesn't want to interfere in our mortal affairs..."Mavi continued, and what he said next made me a little incredulous: "To be honest, Karegos also came here to investigate your own mage team set up at that time, but now we human mages are too scarce to disturb the Blue Dragon King at all, maybe you can't think of Karegos's original purpose, but he is not here to help you." ”

Hearing Mavi explain this, I seem to understand something, yes, compared to other dragon leaders, Malygos's attitude towards us humans is not much better than Nesario. I'd like to make a specific confirmation.

"You're saying the Blue Dragon King is trying to mess up my mage army at the time?"

"But all the mages you cultivated at that time were sacrificed, and he can be regarded as completing the task arranged by the Blue Dragon King in another way that he couldn't even imagine..."

I was silent for a long time when I heard Mavi explain this, I didn't expect that Karegos's purpose was actually this, and I seemed to think of Crassus's hostility towards him at that time, not for no reason... But that's not the case, at least that friend wasn't executed for disobeying the leader's will, which can bring me some comfort.

"Well, we don't mention them, so why did you recommend me to do this with Gianna, I thought you had the talent to recommend. ”

"Almost all the Night Elves I can recommend and who can be loyal to the Alliance have been brought, and the other races in our Alliance except for the High Elves are not like outsiders, and they don't like to live in seclusion, these people either serve the Alliance, or submit to the power of natural disasters or demons, or black dragons. So what we have to do is to cultivate, everything must not be rushed, just like our current situation, everything has to be rebuilt, we have to take our time, so everything must be cultivated and screened in the process of development. For example, your companions and the guards who stayed in Kurtila for the rest of their lives, none of them have grown up to be what they are after going through so much with you, and it is precisely because of this that they have been side by side with you many times, and you trust each other immensely. ”

Mavi said so much in one breath, I pondered for a long time about her statement before answering, after all, I still want more talents, and Mavi obviously knows more than me.

"But there aren't many opportunities like that, and we've all grown. ”

I said this, and it caused her to laugh, yes, I forgot that I was a night elf ten thousand years old.

"Arthas, you're less than thirty. ”

I really don't accept Mavi's ridicule, but since the topic has been so deep, I still have questions about Mavi:

"So... You've long recognized that Gianna's opinion yesterday was unrealistic, but you support hers, do you just don't want to go against her will and follow her?"

"We still have a long way to go, the talents you want will stand out among them and wait for you to dig out, or wait for you on the road ahead, after this war, I joined you, maybe next time you will have more people, and this is what I want to say, you just asked me for a demigod-level character, plus you gave Nasha to Manik, and acquiesced to the moon guard and Berva went to Stormwind City, and turned a blind eye to Merin, this can explain something, your eyes are very high, then I believe that Gianna said that the talent recommended for you, must be very demanding。 I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, so I'm in favor of Gianna, but you have to do something more for that kind of goal, like get your hand-to-hand combat work right, and at least beat me in my current form. ”

What Mavi said made me feel inexplicable, to be honest, I wanted to tease her a little, hit her self-esteem a little, and then hug her into my arms to offset the feelings of being treated roughly by her in the past few days, but now she has not only fulfilled my doubts, but also brought up my least favorite martial arts thing, yes, I was thinking about discussing not being violent by her at night, but now I have to find other ways to question this behavior.

"Does it matter? I don't tolerate your lieutenants, it's not that they're not good enough, it's just that I already have you as a Night Elf. There's no way I'm going to be at your people, and they're all going to be well belonged, isn't that great? And don't you think it's going to be a little cramped for us and Gianna to have one more person?"

I said this, but she shook her head.

"Arthas, I just want to say that if the next time you look at a better lady than me, or even Gianna, you have to have the strength to beat her in martial arts, and that's one of the reasons I'm training you. ”

"Mavi, who do you think it is?

"Trust me, someone won't come to you for nothing, and someone won't let you see things you can't see. Whether you have the ability to fight her at that time may be the most important way, believe me, even if they have a lot of mana, they won't bear to hurt you in that way, and this is an opportunity for you. ”

"Wait, you mean Ysera, is it funny? Even if we were to put the entire army on our side, it might not be her opponent, not to mention that she had her kingdom and her spouse and..."

I argued, but at this moment Mavi signaled that I was in a situation and snapped her fingers, and she said something that I could not believe before I could ask:

"She's here, she's Gianna, let's go..."

I was quite surprised by this, I took it for granted that she was probably talking about Ysera, I really didn't expect her to come, I don't know if what Mavi said was accurate, just like when we first came to the Dust Swamp, Gianna said that Mavi would come, I don't believe it, but I guessed that there was a basis for me, such as Mavi's identity at the time and my actual status at that time was indeed too wronged by her, and there was no precedent before, I even thought at the time that Mavi was because of her behavior that she had nowhere to vent, or just wanted a child, but now it was really my mistake, Mavi still came to me, although it was exiled。 But she was so nice to me, apparently exile was only a big reason, but definitely not the main one... But what worries me the most right now is what will happen, because I know that Ysera wants to turn me into a green dragon more than once, but if she comes, and she is looking for Gianna, maybe I should worry about something, because I know the arrogant nature of their dragon clan, and if she really wants to join, how can she tolerate Gianna's existence with a higher status than her, and the competition from Mavi.

In response to this, I quickly turned into a dragon and took Mavi to Gianna on the east side of the island. As for the weapon, although I was holding my own red dragon sword, I was very skeptical that it would have any effect on a powerful being like Ysera, but I knew that if Ysera was really bad for Gianna, then I would naturally make my own decision resolutely. But when I got there, and when I saw the figure, I realized that my guess was completely wrong, and I didn't even guess it right....
