Chapter 40 Cooperation
"Marshal. www.biquge.info Another group of Stormwind citizens who have moved west has also arrived in Shining Gold, and we need a lot of supplies and supplies. Said the soldier in the town of Shininggold.
Tulayan, who was arranging a convoy to carry supplies, had not yet settled the group of refugees who had moved westward in front of him, and another group of refugees had already arrived in Stormwind City.
Tulayan glanced back at the square, which had been full of grain this morning, and it was just after noon, and there was not much left.
As Lordaeron's army and trade route sanctions approached the wetlands, a large number of Lordaeron's populace began to return, with some nobles fleeing to Ironforge and Grimbaatar, and most of the people without assets and supplies returning to Stormwind.
"Continue to apply to the god Count Catlana and put pressure on those nobles to come up with more resources. Now that the national crisis is at hand, it is time to let these vampires play a role. Tulayan instructed Bolwal.
Bowall, who is still the deputy commander, frowned, and he returned to the business district with the complaint in his heart.
When Bolvar came yesterday, he was scolded and bloody, and if he came again today, the result would be even worse than yesterday. These aristocrats don't care about the current situation of these refugees, they care about their own interests.
Now that the trade routes are closed and goods are hoarded inside Stormwind, some chambers of commerce and individual traders are in a desperate situation. The most troublesome thing is that without the care of the big economy of the Alliance, the currency of Stormwind City depreciates rapidly, and the circulation of funds is very seriously blocked.
However, now that the agreement has been signed, Stormwind has to accept the status quo, and in order to find a way out, Khadgar and Tulayan have consulted overnight, and they have decided to find a way to alleviate the current situation on another ancient continent.
Build a city in another kingdom. Or sign a pact with the Horde to break Stormwind's current embarrassing situation.
The countess, who had just received Berval's urging, was now about to go to the treasury to withdraw a sum of money, but Gianna arrived. This princess from the northern city-state faces exactly the same problems as Stormwind.
The Blizzard Guild can now do a lot of help to Kul Tiras, but the inefficiency of transporting supplies with teleportation spells alone has caused the Sea Kingdom to be hoarded with goods.
"Count Catlana, as we came, we saw the people heading south. When I returned, I had already told the Secret Society of Magic branch in Shining Gold that in two hours, a shipment of food would be being delivered through the teleportation hub. Now don't rush to deal with the things in front of you, let's talk about the future. Gianna said.
"Thanks, is Rollin here?" Katrana's face was slightly red, she didn't want to ask this in front of Gianna, but after such a long time, she still didn't hold back her true thoughts.
Gianna shrugged her shoulders and said, "Teacher? The teacher went to Khadgar, and our intelligence department learned that you Stormwind were going to cooperate with the Horde, and he wanted to know more about the situation. β
The countess got up and pulled out a wooden chair for Gianna and said, "Sit down and speak." β
Gianna saw that the countess's face was no longer heroic, and her tone became warmer: "When I came, the mentor told me that Kurtilas is not far from Stormwind, and although Lordaeron's fleet has closed a large number of sea lanes, there are still routes to operate in the waters near Stormwind. Our ships in Kul Tiras are now steam-powered ships, we can sail long distances, and we are sure to bypass the blockade of Lordaeron and deliver supplies and merchandise to Stormwind. β
"Stormwind doesn't have so many coal mines, and we can't provide such a huge consumption vacancy." Katrana said realistically.
Gianna smiled and shook her head, "The ports north of Tirisfa on the Yangfan Harbor Road and the southern part of the Silver Pine Forest are still under the control of the guild, and although the ports are small, the resources transported from Kalimdor are still quite cheap. Lordaeron won't do business with these orcs for the sake of face, and we won't. With the resources of the new tribe, we can solve many of the problems we have now. β
In contrast to the current predicament, Katrana recalled that she had signed a proposal to exile the tribe on behalf of Stormwind in the alliance agreement. The truth is so cruel, the wrong decision back then, and now you still need to put aside your face to find the help of the tribe.
On the other hand, Katrana hated herself for not thinking clearly, and the agreement to exile these orc captives was actually the beginning of Lordaeron's plan to be realized.
Such a large sum of money is freed, whether it is filled into the economy or the military, it is an excellent choice.
"In addition, we at Kul Tiras will not unilaterally sell goods to Stormwind, and the goods you have hoarded can also be transported to Kalimdor through our merchant ships. Although the price is not high, we have opened up a new market. The new tribes are growing fast, they need our goods, and they need our economic help. What they lack is what we are superfluous, and what they are superfluous is what we lack. But I'm worried about one thing, and that is whether your nobles who wield the power of the economy will not refuse to trade with the tribes, after all, they were formerly orcs! Gianna analyzed clearly and profoundly.
Katrana shook her head and smiled and said, "If we can do this best, we don't need to care what the nobles of Stormwind City think, they can't wait to sell their goods now!" β
"Perfect, these problems are solved, let's start negotiating the previous agreement between the two city-states. Now it's not Gianna, your rival, but the foreign secretary and trade secretary from Kurtiras. Gianna lifted her chest and said confidently.
Catlana beckoned the maid to hand over the pen and paper, and the countess herself handed the ink-dipped quill to Gianna and said, "I hope we have a good cooperation." β
"Of course, as long as we can ease down in these sanctions, the Alsace plot will not succeed so easily!"
Khadgar's transformed raven had just flown to the ancient continent, and he was muttering in front of the new tribal city of Orgrim.
He didn't know how to deal with his former sworn enemy, so he stood on the Bund and waited for nearly half an hour.
It wasn't until the midday sun made his face ache that he began to walk slowly.
Goblins and orcs were still greeting him as they walked the barren roads of Orgrim's Pass, and Khadgar was surprised by the friendliness of the orcs, and he reluctantly squeezed a smile into his face in response.
Orcs and goblins have a great respect for the mages from another continent, they hate the damage these creatures have done to them during the war, and thank them for giving them new life at the most critical moments.
Having a new home, the orcs know the importance of guarding their home. They decided to put aside their hatred and live together with humanity and all different races on this beautiful planet.
The orcs are simple, and no matter what they go through, the most primitive thoughts in their hearts will not be wrong.
Durontar was in high noon temperature, and Khadgar stripped off his early spring clothes and walked straight to Orgrimmar's door.
The guards on guard saw the magician, and a troll scout brought the old commander out: "Are you the guest that the Grand Magus of Rollin said?" Come in, everyone is waiting for you. β
Itreig, who has lived in the human world for a long time, said warmly in the lingua franca of the mainland.
"Rollin is already here?" Khadgar was surprised, and his heart was full of unhappiness.
This unhappiness is not a sense of resentment, but the intelligence department established by himself and Tulayan has been completely destroyed by the Blizzard Guild and the Magic Secret Society.
Khadgar's sense of belonging is still relatively strong, he doesn't think of himself as a part of Kenrito and the Secret Society of Magic now, he is the Royal Archmage of Stormwind City.
However, now he still has to rethink whether he wants to reintegrate himself into this big collective.
He followed General Itreg to the Valley of Honor, and led the old orc general into the Hall of the Chief.
As soon as he walked into the hall, Rollin took the lead and put his left hand on Khadgar's shoulder and whispered, "Find out, your identity is the Grand Magister of Stormwind City, not the Magic Secret Society, are you here to die?" β
Khadgar's back instantly cooled a little, he smiled on the surface, and privately replied to Rollin's words: "Wait for your meeting to end, you don't have to do anything." If I don't come here right away, does your intelligence know what to do? If I want to see it, temporary pressure will make you great Magisters more efficient! β
Khadgar's words choked Rollin for a word, and in desperation, Rollin had to laugh awkwardly a few times and said, "This is my colleague, we were partners a long time ago." β
Sal, who was standing in the chieftain's hall with everyone, enthusiastically extended his left hand and said, "Welcome, friend." β
Khadgar shook hands with orcs for the first time, and he was still a little hostile to orcs, and the moment he shook the hand of the young great chief, he suddenly had a wonderful emotion in his heart.
"Hello. Great Chief. β
"This is Woking, the chief of the Darkspear Clan, the Grand Druid Hamud, the representative of the Thunder Totem in Orgrimmar, Rogham, Sarufar, our old general at this stage." Sal enthusiastically introduced Khadgar.
Khadgar shook hands with the commanders of these tribes one by one, and orcs, trolls, and minotaurs also put aside their prejudices and enthusiastically accepted the etiquette of the archmage.
Rollin stood in the Hall of the Chieftain, his eyes fixed on the orc general named Rogham. The aura emanating from this orc general was familiar to him, and after pondering for a moment, he seemed to understand something.
Rogham endured the fiery gaze of the archmage, and it was hard for him to imagine that the human mage who had resisted the invasion of his army in Silvermoon City would grow to what he is now.
With such a growth, Rogham can only think of one among the orc tribes, and that is Gul'dan.
However, this human mage is different from Gul'dan, and the power that Gul'dan borrowed is not his own. The power of this mage is the energy that can be fully controlled and released.
Luckily, the human mage knew better than the leaders, and better than himself, that it was not war but peace that allowed the two tribes to survive at the same time.
Such old-fashioned clichΓ©s have always been nonsense in the orc's creed, but after so much, Rogham understands that it is these old-fashioned things that the orcs need to stick to.
Orthodox orcs can't adapt to this world, and war shouldn't continue to be an orc creed!
Rogham may have sensed it, and the magister may have known his true identity. But he wasn't surprised, because he also knew that Thrall had known his identity for a long time.
Thrall is a true chieftain who knows who he is, but still reuses himself. Let an old chieftain with the humiliation of the defeat of the orcs continue to live in a brand new tribe.
Thrall trusts himself and should do his best to give everything to the tribe and the chief!
"This is the agreement we have drawn up." Rollin pulled the papers out of his arms, and he nudged Khadgar on his shoulder, motioning for him to take them out as well.
Khadgar took out the peace agreement along with the economic agreement and placed it on the wooden table in front of the chief.
Stormwind's seal was a bit glaring, and Sarufar and Rogham looked at each other as they began a discussion in private.
Thrall was also surprised, he looked at the archmage and said, "Archmage, this is not a joke. β
"This is our sincerity, isn't King Varian's seal on the lower right side of the title page?" Rollin said naturally.
The Great Chief took the agreement, and he looked carefully at the words written in the continental lingua franca on the agreement.
"We don't have a problem with a peace agreement, but this economic agreement is really beyond my expectations."
Khadgar was well aware that his previous economic agreements had been tampered with, and his eyes watched as most of those numbers had been slashed by around 50 percent. But since Rollin did this, he couldn't help it, after all, here, he was the leader of the right to speak.
Khadgar is not in a hurry, others dare not pull down the skin of this 'Great Magister', but Khadgar dares! After this trip, I must let these shortfalls and let the Blizzard Guild make up for them.
"No problem, what we are advocating now is trade reciprocity, which is the basis of cooperation." Khadgar said with a laugh.
Rollin said: "The Blizzard guild is the same, if there is no problem, our agreement will be completed?" β
Thrall was not stupid either, and on a fair basis, he was well aware that it was a change in the Eastern Kingdom that caused this meeting to take place.
However, it is also an opportunity, a chance to get true companions and friends!
"Woking, Hame, do you have any suggestions?" Sal translated the agreement to them and asked for their opinions. (To be continued.) )
