Chapter 64: Hill Raiders

Talomere was a small town in the decade and its geographical location was very important, being a transit point for grain from the hilly areas to Talon Mill and the Tirisfala woodland in the East Warm Pavilion.

But although the status was important at that time, it has not received much development for many years, and it is just a lively town, which is much worse than Nanhai Town. Not to mention a gathering place for bloody gladiatorial battles like Dunhold Castle.

However, ten years ago, due to Arthas's reckless behavior, the town of Nanhai and Taloomir surrendered to the Jasper Lord, and in fact, the entire hill was under the control of the Jasper Lord.

And, of course, there's Dumbhold Castle, where Blackmore is treated in the same way as Southsea Town. However, his ambition was relatively large, and he did not submit to the Jasper Collar.

And in order to comfort him, the queen of Lordaeron gave him greater autonomy, so that although Blackmore still nominally belonged to Lordaeron, in fact, Tunhold had become an independent territory. The queen of Lordaeron was busy stabilizing the situation in the country after the princely incident, and by the time they had eased up, the overall situation of Dunhold had been decided.

On the surface, when you are the suzerain, you have no reason to attack the other party at all, not to mention, if you want to go to Dunhold, you have to pass through the hills, and rashly mobilizing the army will cause misunderstanding of the Jasper Leader, and the original Jasper Lord's strength really scared the nobles of Lordaeron.

Therefore, they did not dare to move troops at all. Brad, on the other hand, didn't have much to do with this Dunhold, and besides, he didn't think that getting another Dunhold would mean anything to Jasper Collar, so that's all. Dunhold wanders away from Lordaeron and Jasper Collar.

However, Morgana looked down on Blackmore, so she used Jasper's influence to limit Dunhold's development. For example, the restriction of heavy taxes on slave ships, such as the refusal to sell technology and equipment to Dunhold. The road to Dunhold was not built at all, and so on. Today, when the entire hill is connected by rail and road, Dunhold is still alive ten years ago. Over time, Dunhold's influence waned considerably.

And Blackmore naturally knew why Jasper Collar was like this, but he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction now, so he could only endure it.

Comparatively speaking, the hilly region has undergone a sea change in ten years. Bled ordered the thorough development of the hilly area.

Jasper Collar began a great development of the hilly area. Despite being hilly, it was perfect for farming and villages, and Brad unleashed the Jasper Lord's army. First of all, a general sweep of the hilly areas began.

First of all, there is the targeting of wildlife. The hilly area is home to a large number of bears, wolves, griffins, wild horses, and many other wild animals. Brad ordered the army to capture a large number of these beasts, and some of them dispersed into the forest. On the one hand, it was transported by guò to some of the more biologically poor areas of Kalimdo.

According to Brad's heart. He didn't want to upset the natural balance of a place. However, after the hills were annexed, Brad had already decided to use the hills as the main gathering place for humans after the natural disaster, so he came up with this method that was not a solution.

At the beginning, many people built Bled to kill these beasts, and many merchants were willing to buy them at a high price, but Bled refused and then transported them to Kalimdor for release. Although he knew that some of the beasts might not be able to adapt to the new environment and die. But he still mentally said sorry.

Because of these beasts, the hunters of the Jasper Territory couldn't digest it. Of course. For some important beasts, such as griffins, it is natural to domesticate and then build a nest.

Horses are also the paladins' favorite mounts, and after capturing wild horses, large pastures are established to breed horses.

When nothing threatened human security in the hilly areas, a second step was carried out, which was to establish a large number of villages and farms throughout the hills.

Because of the mechanical storage, there is no need for too many people to manage it, and the production of grain in the hilly areas increases geometrically, and this grain is stored in wormholes.

This is also where Brad's confidence lies, in more than ten years, the amount of grain stored in the Jade Collar has reached a terrifying number, which is also where Brad's final confidence lies.

He wants to protect most of the human race, but humanity needs food to survive, otherwise even if he saves most of the people, then these people will become homeless.

In his last life, Brad had seen too many examples of this. He didn't want to see that happen again.

Nowadays, the situation of the hills is that villages and farmlands can be seen everywhere, and the whole hills have become the world of human beings. Bled used the road and rail network to keep the hills firmly in his hands.

Brad then built a small fort on the border with the Silver Pine Forest, where heavy troops were stationed. The same is true at the junction with Dalaran, where a small fortress is built and an elite division is stationed. At the same time, it took Jasper Leader a few years to build a small village of Taloimir into a fortified city, which had become a rudimentary city.

After Nanhai Town was attached to the Jasper Collar, it was even more of a diversion for the shipping of the Jasper Collar, and with Morgana's policy tilt, Nanhai Town also became a port city and became more prosperous.

Jasper Ling's actions were in the eyes of the other forces, and they were very puzzled by a problem, that is, whether it was the newly built villages in the hilly areas or the three newly built cities, they all had a common characteristic, that is, they were empty and sparsely populated.

For example, in those newly built villages, the houses are closed, and most of them are not used, but some managers are retained to manage the villages and prevent the villages from being deserted.

As for Talomere, large areas of the city are blank, and the population of the city is now less than one city, and the other districts are also in a closed state.

The outside world is even more talking, saying everything. Everyone knows that the Jade Collar is crazy about buying grain every year, and I will take as much as you have, not afraid that you have too much food, but afraid that you will not have enough food. This has led to some territories that were not keen on cultivating land to begin to cultivate fertile land, which has virtually increased the income of those territories.

Some people think that Jasper can't spend all the money she gets. That's why we buy grain. Others say that Brad has a special hobby and likes to sleep on top of the grain pile, otherwise he won't be able to sleep.

Some forces hostile to the Jasper Lords say that the Jasper Lords have ulterior motives in building cities and fortresses. Saying that not to claim hegemony is to fool everyone at all, in fact, the momentum of the expansion of the Jasper Territory is just around the corner, otherwise why would they keep so many regular troops when there is no war, you must know that the regular army of the Jasper Territory is different from other territories, it is a converted soldier, not the state of a half-soldier running a peasant.

However, as year after year passed. The Jade Leader had no intention of launching at all, and even Luo Danlun, who had always been against the enemy, lowered his guard, not to mention other forces. After all, Brad's character is there, and with the passage of time, this has become a mystery in the hearts of many people.

On the streets of Taloomir, a car with an unpretentious appearance drove quickly.

Inside the car. Morgana reports to Brad with a bunch of intel in hand.

"Your Excellency. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Regiments of the Mechs would arrive at Dalongmir in two days, and then be stationed in the northern city. And the Air Force's fighter cluster was already secretly stationed in Dalongmir two days ago. ”

Brad nodded and said: "Inform all the troops that they are not allowed to eat and drink food and fresh water obtained from any other sources except for the food and fresh water provided by the army, and disobey the order will be severely punished." Be sure to ensure that our army will not be infected with the plague. ”

Morgana brushed the records and continued, "In addition, the Lord of Mocha has reported that the various districts of Dalongmir have established a complete defense system according to your requirements. Guaranteed to be foolproof. ”

"Well......" Brad said after a deep sigh, "I'm still not very relieved, like this." You take the time to inspect the city defenses for yourself. My intentions are clear to you, but they don't. In the near future, the population density of the hilly areas will reach a terrifying level. In other words, this is the last base of the Lordaeron humans, and Daron Mill will become a bridgehead for the undead to break through to the hilly region, and there is absolutely no room for failure here, and I can only be completely relieved if you do something,"

"I understand, I'll take a closer look." Morgana said sternly.

Brad shook his head, suddenly realized a problem, and said: "In addition, the rapid increase in population, the consumption of food will definitely increase countless times, and I am not worried about this." But correspondingly, meat and vegetable consumption will skyrocket. ”

Morgana has been dealing with the affairs of the Jasper Collar for more than ten years, and she is no longer the weak financial officer she was back then. He knew this better than Brad, and as soon as he heard Brad say it, he said, "This question is very strict, and I made a mistake." ”

Brad waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you, there have been too many affairs recently, and I am a little lacking in skills, not to mention you who are in charge of specific operations." Now is not the time to talk about responsibility, I just want to know what the good solution is. Although I know that it is not easy to explode so many people at once, these people are the hope of humanity, and I just want to do my best. ”

Morgana pondered for a moment before saying, "I have a rough plan, vegetables are good, there are many fertile fields in the hilly areas, and it is good to set aside an area to grow vegetables that grow quickly. As for meat, this is a bit more cumbersome, but it can also be transported via Guò Seramo, or purchased at Ironforge, or raised some livestock. Exclusively for meat. ”

Brad patted his forehead, he didn't expect such a simple reason, you know, there are special pig farms, chicken farms, cattle farms and so on on the earth to supply meat. Instead, Morgana thought of it.

"Well, well, you can do it your way. Try to take in the Stormwind refugees as much as possible, so that they can live on their own. These things cannot be given away in vain, if so, they will nourish some bad things, and I will take them in and provide them with a safe place and shelter, but if they want to live, then they will be earned by labor. ”

Morgana breathed a sigh of relief, she really thought that Brad was going to raise this group of people for nothing.

"Rest assured, my lord, there is a shortage of people in the farms and engineering factories in the hills."

At this time, Onexia, who was in charge of driving, said: "Master, the venue has arrived, and the representatives of the various forces have basically arrived. ”…… (To be continued......)
