Chapter 22: The Rupture

Every three days, goblin cargo ships would transport a shipment of ore to the town of Nanhai, and Ghazruvi would use this convenient sea route to open up the blueprint for the tribe's economic trade. As the backbone of all of Azeroth's economic systems, www.biquge.info gold has also been integrated into orc society through Thrall's facilitation. Bartering cannot solve the future economic problems of the tribe, and allowing each orc to form his own family and have his own life is the key to the tribe's true foothold in this world.

The sea breeze in Nanhai Town was a little cool today, and Onexia tidied up the purple lapels on her shoulders so that her cloak could better preserve heat for her body. It's late autumn now, and the temperature in Nanhai Town is not high.

Sailors are not like merchants, human sailors who work on goblin merchant ships carry ore from cargo ships bareback and sweating profusely.

"What did you think about what we discussed before?" Gazruwe took off his black top hat and walked over to Onexia's side.

The branch leader of the Blizzard Guild didn't think about it, and she directly refused, saying, "Let's keep it as it is, the situation is a little tense these days." I think it's better not to let others get caught in our trade. ”

Rubbing his green palms, Gazruvi looked around at the cargo in the surrounding harbor and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Onexia had originally considered replacing these human sailors with orc laborers, but after much consideration, Onexia gave up the idea.

I have to say that Onexia, who has broken away from the past, is much more merciful, and she does not know that the cover and concessions she has made under this tense situation are meaningless. If Lordaeron's army wanted to enter the harbor of Nanhai Town, it would only be a matter of half a day.

Sometimes, things just happen so suddenly. Just as Kalimdor's merchant ships were about to leave the harbor, the paladins of Lordaeron and the Defenders suddenly stormed the harbor of Southsea Town.

The warriors in iron hoops and full armor, as well as the knights in golden plate armor and dazzling shields, gave Onexia a bad feeling.

"Surround the guild and stop the ships that are about to leave the harbor, execute it immediately!" The paladin, mounted on a tall warhorse, ordered.

Lordaeron's elite units have extremely high combat efficiency, most of them are soldiers who participated in the Second Orc War and the Northern Expedition, and their experience and combat skills are good.

Fifteen minutes was enough time for the soldiers to control the entire harbor, but at the same time, the magicians of the Secret Society of Magic also came over from the branch, and one of them was particularly conspicuous!

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe there was a lady who looked exactly like the countess." Gianna shrugged her shoulders and stood beside Onexia.

Onexia knew most of the women around Rollin, except for Mavi, Elisandre, and Stellagosa, of course.

"I think I'll have a lot to ask when we first meet, but now we're going to settle the troubles here." Onexia said calmly.

Gianna smiled, her left thumb pressed against the knuckle of her index finger, playing with a quiet arcane circle.

"Who's in charge here?" The tall paladin jumped off his warhorse and asked in a loud voice with his right hand on the hilt of his sword.

Gianna made a look you know, and she smiled wickedly and whispered, "I can't imagine that this guy is quite imposing." ”

Onexia didn't know what the little witch was thinking, but she could feel that the power of the sorceress was not much weaker than her own. In addition, Onexia also noticed a staff of ice with a striking appearance behind Gianna's back, and the strength of the staff reminded her of the staff in Rollin's hand.

"I am, Your Excellency." Onexia took a slight step forward, she said.

The surrounding townspeople saw such a big formation, and they walked out of the town one after another, and for a while, the entire harbor of Nanhai Town was crowded with townspeople.

"I am Talber, the captain of the Fourth Regiment of the Silver Hand, and today I am on the orders of the High Lord to investigate the harbor." With a wave of his hand, Talber motioned for the soldiers to prepare for action.

Onexia was not in a hurry, she pretended to think deeply, and after thinking about it for more than ten seconds, she raised her hand to organize Talber's order and said, "The Fourth Regiment? Gianna, have you heard of the soldiers of the 4th Regiment in the Silver Hand during the Northern Expedition? ”

Gianna looked at Talber with disdain and said, "Prince Arthas was a soldier of the 1st Regiment at that time, and when he was deep in Lake Kumri, it was the paladins of the 2nd Regiment who rushed to help. At that time there was no third regiment, let alone a fourth. ”

Telber looked at the sorceress in front of him with a familiar look, and he pondered for a moment, but there was still no result in his mind.

"What do you mean, mage!" Talber's broad palm drew half of his long sword, and he glared at Gianna and said.

Gianna waved her hand and said, "I'm sorry, I remember that the trade agreement at the port of Nanhai Town was signed by your high lord, if you really want to investigate this place thoroughly, please let Ferding come, there are some things that still need to be explained by him." ”

This young girl's tone is not small, and she still let the former big lord come to the symptoms?

"You know a lot of things, but you don't seem to know that the Silver Hand has been handed over to Lord Dasuohan now. Now that all orders and dispatches are being carried out by the new High Lord, you better tell your mages to be careful, or our Holy Light and Warblade will not be as happy as your tricks! Talber threatened.

Onexia grabbed Gianna's wrist, she held back her anger, smiled and said, "So, the previous agreement is all nullified?" ”

"Of course, oh, by the way, you don't have to pay taxes in Nanhai Town. We're going to recycle this seaport. Telber said.

"Maybe you should think about whether your wing, which is only a hundred soldiers, can have the confidence to talk to us." The black dragon flame in Onexia's hand suddenly rose, and she condensed the flame that was beating in her hand and continued, "You can continue to give orders, it's okay. ”

This lethal smile doubled the rate of Talber's heartbeat. He couldn't believe that the magicians here would dare to be so strong against Lordaeron's soldiers.

Talber took a few steps back, and he shouted, "Townsfolk of Southsea Town, do you see, this is the true face of the Blizzard Guild, they actually use rights beyond the scope of the law on our land!" ”

The townsfolk shook their heads, they didn't agree with the knight's words.

"The Blizzard Guild has given us a lot of opportunities to earn gold, and last year my husband relied on the guild's trade to earn money to buy a house." A middle-aged woman said.

"Yes, my husband works as a sailor in the port, and he is well paid. Compared to ten years ago, that poor era is much better now. Another woman chimed in.

The controversy sparked by the head of the Knights, Telber, was completely one-sided, and at this moment, the mayor of Nanhai Town also stood up, saying: "Over the years, the changes in Nanhai Town are obvious to all. The guilds brought trade and a variety of resources to the port city, and gave the war-torn town a chance to recover. I don't know how much you know about Lordaeron's economic policies, but since the coronation of the King of Alsace, our taxes have doubled. If we can afford this now, after all, the price is rich, but in the past, when there was no Blizzard guild, what could we do in the face of such taxes? ”

Talber took a deep breath, looked at the goblin merchant ships and said, "Mayor Latin, maybe you're right. However, I don't think the townspeople of Southsea Town can tolerate this guild that is trading with orcs! ”

"Sailors, you still have a chance to be witnesses in exchange for freedom!" Telber said with a smirk as he looked at the sailors on the goblin cargo ship.

Most of the human sailors hired by these goblins were men from the coastal towns of Lordaeron, and they had all been to Kalimdor and had met the orcs there.

However, unlike the orcs they remembered, the young orc, who could speak the human language, gave them a warm welcome and chatted with them about many interesting things. Most of what sailors could feel in these orcs was simplicity, not bloodlust and anger.

The sailors on board chose silence, none of them made a sound.

Talber chuckled a few times and shook his head, saying, "Don't forget, your home is still on the soil of Lordaeron, don't think that you can seek refuge in the Blizzard Guild. Lordaeron had decreed that all mortals who were not guilty of sins would be punished by their families! ”

The Captain's announcement was loud, and he threatened the sailors to make a sound judgment.

Gazruwe also panicked, his dream of making a fortune was about to be shattered before he was halfway through.

"Everyone think clearly, as long as you stand on the side of the Blizzard Guild, I will give you fifty gold coins! Uh, no, it's sixty! ......”

Gianna clenched her fists, and she snapped, "Talber, are you worthy of the title of Silver Hand for doing this?" ”

Talber said disdainfully, "First I am a soldier of Lordaeron, and secondly I am a member of the Silver Hand. It is the duty of a soldier to put the interests of the country first! Why, you don't use your magic to threaten us now? ”

The goblin ship's sailors made their choice, they stepped off the deck, stood around the Knights of Talber and said, "Yes, we have been to the Western continent and are trading with the orcs. ”

The sailors had no choice, they also had families and were subject to the laws of the country of Lordaeron.

Onexia shook her head, she extinguished the black dragon flame in her hand and took Gianna's hand and said, "We don't have a chance. ”

The townspeople of Southsea were boiling, they wanted to have a happy life, but they hated war even more, and they hated the secret trade between these fake guilds and the orcs.

The Latin mayor soothed the emotions of the townspeople, and in his old age, he knew that this matter was far from being as simple as it seemed.

The orcs who were exiled by Lordaeron in the first place are now using this method to trouble the Blizzard Guild. Blizzard guilds are not only found in Southsea Town, but also in other towns. The royal court tore its face at this trade mercenary organization throughout the Eastern Kingdoms, and there must be an ulterior motive behind it.

"Get out of our town, you pretending merchants, you magicians!"

"Yes, we don't want your stinky money, get out!"

Onexia turned around helplessly, and said, "I hope that the choice made by the King of Arthas will make him bear the same price." ”

Gianna's temper was not very good, and she pointed directly at Talber's nose and said: "Tell Arthas that his conscience, his dignity, his glory have been eaten by dogs!" He may have forgotten that if it weren't for the teacher, he would have been killed by the lichs in Northrend. Now that you're a king, you're starting to have your own ideas? Exiled orcs? The Coalition has even begun to dissolve our guilds until now? You tell him for me that he's crazy! ”

When Talber heard Gianna's words, he also knew the identity of the little girl.

The Magister of the Northern Expedition and the princess of the Kingdom of Kurtilas, Gianna.

"Your Highness Gianna, I'm sorry I didn't know your identity until now. However, I would like to warn you that your father's situation is precarious right now, and he does not seem to want to return to Lordaeron's arms. Talber lowered his voice and spoke to Gianna.

Gianna frowned, and she said fiercely: "Not only my father, but as long as it is a veteran who understands things, it knows what Alsace is doing now!"

"Since you know this way, I still hope that you will do more of your father's ideological work. After all, the shipping lanes around the sea are under Lordaeron's control! Talber stepped onto his horse, and with a wave of his hand, he motioned for the soldiers to take over the harbor.

Onexia patted Gianna on the shoulder and said, "The situation is urgent, we have no other choice. Let's leave, hopefully one day we'll be back. ”

Gianna took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. She returned to the Secret Order with Onexia, and gathered all the Guild staff.

The evacuation lasted only half a day, and Telber stopped in the harbor on his horse, supervising the evacuation of the Blizzard Guild.

As a goblin, Gazruvi did not trouble him, but let him and his fleet go.

The plan was a success, and when the mission was over, Talber returned to the court of Lordaeron to resume his life.

Stormwind

"Countess, Archmage Khadgar has something to talk to you about." The young maid said to Katrana, who was working on the agreement.

Katrana nodded and said, "Let the Archmage wait for me in the living room, and I'll be over soon." ”

"Well, I'll make tea first." (To be continued.) )
