Chapter 172: Clearing Obstacles
The Jasper Collar's blowout development seems to be extremely fast, but only Brad understands that this development is too deformed and has a lot of luck involved. What worries Brad even more is that the wealth produced by the Jasper Collar is far less than the wealth that was used out at the same time, although it is supported by a large amount of wealth in Stormwind, but there is always a time when the wealth will be exhausted.
Moreover, the rise of various fields such as the nest on which the Jasper Collar depends, the Hero Soul Crystal, the mixed outfit, the military industry, and the runes require Brad to invest a lot of materials. In Azeroth, there is no example of such an important department or industry being run by an individual, except for the goblins, and all expenses need to be paid by Brad from the realm's finances.
Due to the limited scale of the Jasper Domain, Brad's private treasury and the territory's treasury are not separated at all, of course, in the eyes of the people in the territory and even Morgana and others, there is nothing wrong with this matter, after all, the entire territory belongs to Brad alone, and he can spend it as he wants, and no one has an opinion at all. Brad fell in love with this centralized world for a while, but then the pressure followed, watching his private treasury shrink rapidly, Brad's heart was dripping blood, which was all his hard-earned money, not the output of the territory.
So Brad has been looking for money, and who are the richest? Naturally, they are high elves with endless wealth, and more importantly, they have a large number of various magic materials, which is extremely lacking in the Jasper Collar, and if the problem of materials is solved, Brad will immediately order those goblins who take the opportunity to raise the price of materials to get out.
Putting his mind aside, Brad smiled and said, "Old general." What skills do High Elves need? ”
"Don't pretend to be stupid, I can't think of this layer if you didn't deliberately induce me." The Morning Seeker turned his head to stare at Brad and said, "The technique of making this machine crossbow, the technique of this small artillery. We all need combat skills. ”
"Old General, don't you want the Rune Resonance Technique?" Brad reminded. "That's the most important thing."
"Isn't this a bonus?" The Morning Seeker was full of doubts and said, "Know that we are the Magic Kingdom. ”
"Yes, Quel'Salas is the Magic Kingdom." Brad also said casually: "The rune technique is even more developed, so the rune is not for sale, and I can't do it myself." ”
"Ahem,"
"As the deputy commander of the alliance, why should you be so careful." Braumukes took over: "Okay. We also buy rune resonance techniques. ”
"That's the right attitude to talk about business." Brad nodded and said solemnly, "If it's my personal thing, why don't I give it to you as a friend of Aurelia." But now I represent my territory, and more than a million people depend on me for food, and I beg your forgiveness for this. ”
"It's me Meng Lang." The Morning Seeker gave Brad a solemn salute, he was just because of Brad's age. Only then did he come up with the idea of spending a small amount of money in exchange for an important technique.
"I don't dare to accept your gift. If Aurelia had found out, she would have to break with me. Brad waved his hand and said solemnly: "I won't hide it from you, there are some key techniques that I will not sell, such as fighter jets, such as the generalized principle of rune resonance, this is the foundation of my foothold, I hope you will forgive me." Of course, if you need it, you can order the core components, and after the war, our factory will be expanded, and we are ready to set aside some of them for sale. And I don't need you to trade in gold. Instead, you need to provide equivalent magical materials. Of course, if you are confident, you can dismantle the things you bought back and study them yourself. ”
The Morning Seeker frowned and said, "These techniques of yours are also the ones born from goblins and gnomes. Your conditions are too harsh, and it's not worth it for us to spend a lot of money on something that isn't critical. Aren't you afraid that we'll leave you alone and trade directly with goblins and gnomes? ”
Brad smiled and said, "Of course you can, so let's not talk about the transaction for now, so as not to hurt the harmony." You can send people to the places of goblins and gnomes to buy techniques. You know who to trade with is the wisest choice. ”
Just kidding, in the last life, Brad was the great master of Azeroth, standing at the top of the world's realm. Having not experienced the grind of war, Brad dared to guarantee that his engineering skills were at least thirty years ahead of this world. What's more important is that he has researched a new path, that is, the rune technology stream, although it is not very mature now, this path is definitely a broad road.
Even if the High Elves learned the engineering of goblins or gnomes, not to mention the flaws of their skills, the stumbling appearance alone would discourage the High Elves.
Both of them saw Brad's confidence, but they were puzzled and didn't understand where Brad's confidence came from.
The Morning Seeker pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, "It seems that the deputy marshal is very confident in the skills of his territory, but, as you said earlier, we represent two countries. I will still send people to contact the goblins and gnomes, and if everything is too far from what the deputy marshal said, then I will not be able to complete your carefully planned deal with your territory. ”
Brad shook his head, looked at the battlefield, and said, "This is your right, I have time to wait, and I will wait for you in the Jasper Territory when the time comes." Oh, and by the way, after you decide to trade with me, please prepare all kinds of magic materials in advance. ”
"That day may never come." Lannathel proudly said that as a magister specializing in enchantment, she also dabbled in runes, and she used to think it was too obscure and she was too lazy to spend time researching. Now seeing a human who she looks down on, using the technique of rune resonance to show off, it also stimulates her competitive spirit.
There are many things that the elven kingdom lacks, but there is no shortage of magicians, and she doesn't believe that the strength of gathering them is not as good as that of a small human. As for engineering, they don't even pay attention to it, as long as it costs money, they can buy a lot of techniques from goblins and gnomes, why bother looking at the face of the jasper collar and being blackmailed by the other party.
"Well, I think so too." Brad said lightly, he was not in the slightest mood to quarrel with the other party. He knew that the pride of the Dao elves had been integrated into the bone marrow, and they would not find themselves without hitting their heads and breaking the bloodstream. It seems like an easy deal to itself, and perhaps it is a challenge in the eyes of the elves.
However, he has absolute confidence in himself, and the reason why he can make achievements in the field of runes. First of all, because he has received a good education on Earth, and after more than ten years of study, his level of mathematics and geometry is not comparable to that of the people of Azeroth. Even if he had such a strong foundation, it was because his professional mark in the previous life was abolished, and he had no hope of improving his strength, and he spent most of his thoughts on runes and engineering. After 20 years of painstaking research, I dare to say that there is a slight success. If only the runes were so easy to grasp. Enchantment made with the fur of runes will not prevail, and runes will not wither.
The people watching the battle have complicated thoughts, while the people on the battlefield are fighting in full swing. The Horde's air force was quickly consumed in a few joint hits of the Ranger Air Force of the Windranger Tower and the Air Force of the Jade Lord. Those who have been killed are retreating.
The ogres on the ground had begun to show signs of collapse, and although the orc-made officers tried their best to stop and even kill many ogres, few ogres had collapsed.
Ogres are cruel and murderous. Brave and fierce, there is no need to doubt it. Although they have not been trained by the army, they are elite when they are pulled out casually, and perhaps the only drawback is that they are not intelligent enough. It's not that they are not brave enough, but they don't see a glimmer of hope for victory.
Due to the abundance of ammunition, this time the fire network was even denser than the battle on the coast, and the ogre's footsteps were blocked to a distance of five hundred yards, which was already their limit. And the musketeers who were sent to pick up the leaks can only look at the mechanical army next to them with red eyes, excitedly fishing for military exploits.
Moore also noticed the situation of the tribal army at this time, and decisively ordered: "Pressure forward five hundred yards." ”
"The general has an order. Five hundred yards forward. "The general has an order, five hundred yards forward."
The mechanical army moved in an instant. While moving slowly, he continued to maintain the original formation and shot at the formation of the tribe.
The formation of the tribe involuntarily retreated with the advance of the alliance, and the collapse of the tribe was inevitable, but the city gate behind did not show the slightest sign of opening, and the people on the city wall did not respond to the ogre's irritable call to the city gate, but instead mobilized a large number of hunters to shoot them, and for a time the ogre could not advance or retreat, advance was death, and retreat was still death.
As time went on, noon had arrived. Unaffected by the battlefield in the slightest, Brad ordered the remaining Confederate troops to light a fire and cook as usual. And he himself was eating and drinking while looking at the battlefield as if no one was around, which surprised the elven general even more. Brad insisted on pulling the old general to eat with him, but the old general did not object.
"It's really good wine, those bastards in the Silver Moon Council said that the moonshine wine provided to me was the best, but it's scum compared to this, see if I go back and don't clean them up." The morning seeker drank all the moonlight wine in the cup again, and said teasingly: The young man really has courage, his wife is fighting for life and death in front, but you, as a man, are eating and drinking here. ”
Brad shook his glass and had a glass with Sylvanas and Braumus before saying, "That's why you don't know Aurelia anymore, and your refusal to let her go to war is the greatest torture." You may not know what to say, because I didn't allow her to go to the battlefield because of my injuries, she lost her temper with me for the first time, and she didn't pay attention to me for days. As for us, she's not. ”
"You know her." The Morning Seeker didn't move the food on the table and drank vigorously, at this time he was already slightly red, pointed to the battlefield and said: "Let's get down to business, there is no suspense in the battle ahead, the key is how you attack the city wall." I've seen the tribe's trebuchet, and although it's not as powerful as a mortar, it's not far behind, and the role and advantage of your mechanized unit is gone. ”
"I have already told the general of the attack the specific strategy, and the old general is looking at it." Brad explained Lordaeron's form to the Morning Seekers, saying, "Orgrim wants to trap us here, and I can't let him get his way. Now the Horde does not have much air force, and the end of the Horde's defeat is already doomed. ”
At the same time, he silently added in his heart, even if you defeat Lordaeron, you can't change anything, and summoning Goron and the Flying Ravens can't change the victory of the alliance, and Orgrim must die...... (To be continued......)
