It has been more than half a year since I left the last time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Today, Stratholme was covered in snow, and only the snow on the streets had been swept away, and from the sky it looked like a large white chessboard, with a neat grid drawn with black lines.

Du Teng fell from a high altitude, and there were already soldiers of the patrol around him, and when they saw Du Teng's face, they immediately put away their weapons and looked at him respectfully.

"Salute to Your Highness by the Thirteenth Squad of the Stratholme Patrol!"

The soldiers leading the team hurriedly stood up and gave a military salute to Du Teng.

The soldiers behind him did the same, saluting one after another.

Du Teng returned with a military salute.

"Where is Rhona now?"

"Back to Your Highness, if there is no accident, Lord Earl should be in the town hall now."

The team leader replied respectfully.

"Very well, you guys keep patrolling, leave me alone."

Du Teng nodded, took off into the air again, looked in the direction of the city hall, and flew out like a gust of wind.

Only this small group of soldiers stood still, you look at me and I look at you, not knowing what to do next.

The squad leader was still more sober, and he hurriedly ordered his team members to disperse and go to different places to inform His Highness of the news of his arrival, especially his superiors, and he personally notified him.

Let's leave aside the movements of the patrol members for the time being, and talk about the other side.

On the top floor of the town hall, in the castle lord's exclusive room, Rhona was flipping through the report. It records the impact of yesterday's heavy snow on the city, for example, a house was crushed, but fortunately the inhabitants did not die, but suffered some minor injuries.

There is also a theft incident similar to the sudden occurrence in the city, in fact, there is no real thief, the old hen lost by the family was lost by herself, and was finally found by the patrol in an abandoned yard in the west of the city, so the case is over.

Although it has been half a year since Stratholme City resumed human rule, it is too far away from Gilneth and the nearby undead have not been completely exterminated, so there are not many residents who actually come here. Most of the city's inhabitants were soldiers who followed Rona and a group of craftsmen sent later.

In addition, it is the family members of these people, the quality of the residents is generally high, and the composition is not complicated, so now this large Stratholme City, in fact, there is not much work to be done, except for some daily training patrols and the recovery of the city, there are only some emergencies left, for the temporary city lord of Rona, these jobs are not complicated, she has been educated by her father Darius since she was a child, and it is not difficult to deal with it at all.

After solving all today's work, Rona stretched her waist for a long time, people will be lazy and lazy, when she first started urban reconstruction, there was so much work, she stayed up late for three days, and she didn't feel too tired. Now that everything is on the right track, there is less work, but sometimes I feel more tired, which shows that she is still a relatively unsuitable person for leisure after all.

"I don't know how Your Highness is doing lately, I heard that I went to the west, it's the hometown of those pointy ears, demons or something, such a dangerous thing, why did Your Highness go in person? Isn't it good to send someone randomly? I really hope that Your Highness can come back safely......"

Rona picked up the coffee cup next to her, took a sip, and then looked at the wall in front of her, muttering to herself in a daze.

Then I don't know what I remembered, my face suddenly turned a little red, and my hand holding the coffee cup shook a little, and I accidentally spilled some and fell on the back of my hand. The temperature of the coffee was obviously not low, and it burned her all of a sudden, and she let go of the coffee cup with a low cry.

At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side, grabbed the coffee cup that was about to be overturned, and then the other hand gently pressed on Rona's hot hand, and the fingers gently pressed the burned place, and then a very clear feeling spread to Rona's hand, and the feeling of being burned instantly lightened a lot.

"Who ......?"

Rhona was startled and was about to stand up when a voice slowly sounded in her ears, causing her whole body to go limp.

"I really didn't expect that my little Rona would care so much about me, and I would have come back sooner if I had known."

Du Teng gently blew in Rona's ear, and Rona's delicate body trembled slightly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you, when did you come back, I, I don't know......"

"It's only been a few days since I came back, so don't you hurry over? What were you doing? Are you dealing with government affairs? Unexpectedly, my Rhona is still an all-round hand, and sure enough, Stratholme handed you over to you is one of the most correct choices I have made. ”

"Oh, no, I'm still very rusty, and I still have a lot to ......"

She couldn't go on with the rest of the words.

Du Teng gently lowered the coffee cup and lifted her chin, and Rona looked up at the face that she admired and kept her awake at night, and slowly closed her eyes.

……

Stensholm is undoubtedly very important as Gilnes' next focus.

Du Teng came this time, there are many purposes, but it needs to be implemented step by step.

The most important thing at the moment is to get more people from Gilneth to come to Stratholme, but considering the various dangerous conditions along the way, it is not easy to transport a large number of ordinary people.

However, it is not impossible, in fact, the contact between Ironforge and Stormwind City has given Du Teng a lot of inspiration.

That's right, it's the railway!

It's just that the railway that Duten wants is different from the subway from Stormwind to Ironforge, and Duten wants to get a railroad like that on Earth. The dwarven subway is fast, but the structure is too simple, with only a few iron structures, no external armor, no solid relay system, and frequent problems.

What Duten needed was a railway system on the surface, with rails that fell on the ground being more stable than suspended tracks. But there is a problem, that is, the safety of the surface is not as good as that of the underground, and there are basically no powerful monsters in the underground tunnels, some rats and bugs or something, which can be cleaned up casually.

But on the surface, there are not only fierce beasts, but also undead, and all kinds of magical beasts, and if you are not careful, it is easy to cause huge damage to the rails. Once the train runs, any sesame-sized problem on the tracks can cause a devastating disaster, so it has to be guarded against.

Fortunately, this is a magical world after all, and there are problems that technology can't solve, as well as magic.

For the next three months, Duten has been nesting in Stratholme, and Rona has been with him all day, and the small life is quite easy. On the sixth day after his arrival in Stratholme, the first magicians to master the apparition came to Stratholm to rebuild Stratholme's magical tower.

At the same time, the Brute Hammer tribe also sent a large number of blacksmiths to Stratholm to help rebuild the city.

Du Teng found a few dwarven blacksmiths and a few magicians and went to a workshop for a day, and no one knew what they were doing.

It wasn't until three months later that their research finally had a breakthrough melee approach.

Then it took another half a month for the first locomotive to be successfully manufactured, powered by a steam engine, but using a lot of technology from the world of Azeroth. For example, the metal forged by the dwarven blacksmith is not strong enough, which requires the use of magic, relying on magic to increase the strength of the metal and ensure the strength of the locomotive.

A huge shovel is also installed under the locomotive, which is guaranteed to be crushed to slag in an instant if there are blinding beasts and monsters in the direction of the train. Regarding the rails, the magicians also have a good solution. You only need to carve defensive runes under the rails, not to mention those beasts, even those poor professionals are afraid that it will be difficult to destroy them, and some beasts and demonic beasts are not worth mentioning at all.

As long as the problems of defense and metal strength are solved, laying railways is not difficult at all, and the remaining problem is steel production.

In this matter, we still have to rely on the Brute Hammer Tribe, and the wheel strikes iron, there is no race in this world that can compare to the Dwarf Race, although the Brute Hammer Tribe is a little worse than the Copper Whisker, but it is also much stronger than humans. Compared to Gilneys, who is about to rise again, he is even stronger.

In fact, when Duten led his troops to Kalimdor to fight the Burning Legion, the Brute Hammer tribe had already sent a team of dozens of blacksmiths to Gilneth to help forge armaments in Gilneth City. This time, there were hundreds of people who came to Stratholme, and with their joining, the reconstruction of Stratholm can be described as a rapid journey.

But it is still not enough, the production of rails and carriages has strict requirements for specifications, and if you want to mass production, you can only mobilize more blacksmiths.

Du Teng didn't think about the equipment of the assembly line, but the problem was that he didn't understand these things, he told the dwarves blacksmiths about his thoughts, and these dwarves looked at each other and felt clueless.

As long as the railway is successfully erected and connects Gilneth and Eagle's Nest Mountain and Silver Moon City, such an iron triangle will have the ability to quickly mobilize the army, and the material exchange will be more convenient, and the benefits will be too great for the development of the three clans.

So when the technology of the locomotive and the rails was completely perfected, he couldn't wait to go to Eagle's Nest Mountain.

But just as he was about to act, a High Elf came to Stratholme with a piece of news that made Duten frown.

"Law, Archmage Romans, it's about to die......"

"What ?!!!"

Du Teng stood up suddenly, strode up to the High Elf Ranger, grabbed the other party's collar, and pulled him up fiercely.

"What do you say? You repeat! ”

"Archmage Romans...... Lost the duel with Prince Kael'thas...... The spring of the Well of Eternity was taken by Kael'thas and taken to the Outlands. His Majesty tried to stop him, but was seriously injured by him, and now he is ...... Already ......"

The elven ranger couldn't say any more, and tears were already streaming down his face.

Du Teng let go of his hand, his brow furrowed tightly.

"Tell me about it."

Kael'thas didn't expect it, as he was forced to find a way to save Quel'Thalas, so he traveled to the Outlands and joined Illidan. But in this life, Romans has obviously brought back the spring water of the Well of Eternity, although it is the second well, but it is two bottles, which together are more powerful than the power contained in the bottle thousands of years ago, purifying the sun well that has been polluted, and making the sun well burst out with more powerful power, it is completely possible.

So why did Kael'thas do it? Seriously wounded Romans and indirectly killed his father...... What is the difference between this and Alsace?

Du Teng couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask the high elf in front of him.

Fortunately, the High Elves who can be sent out to ask for help are not simple goods, and they still know very well about the situation in Quel'Salas, including the movements of the upper echelons.

And through his explanation, Du Teng gradually figured out the situation.

It turns out that since the defeat half a year ago, Kael'thas has always had a very bad sense of Duten, and it is not an exaggeration to even describe it as a little hatred. He openly advocated his opposition to Gilneth and his alliance with Gilneth in Quel'Thalas. Romans, for his part, has always opposed his rhetoric and is firmly committed to an alliance with Gilneth.

King Anastarian didn't know what to think, but he remained neutral and sat back and watched his son and Romans break out.

At first, the two sides were evenly matched, and Kael'thas was a prince after all, with many supporters. And Duten's help to Gilneth is a real achievement, and there are many people in the High Elves who know how to be grateful, so there is not much difference in the strength of the two sides.

However, after Romans followed Duten to Kalimdor to fend off the Burning Legion, and after draining some of the forces that supported him, Kael'thas finally gained the upper hand. He violently suppressed those who disagreed with him, and many people, including Sylvanas and others, were all imprisoned by him under various names. This is something that Romans didn't expect, he didn't expect Kael'thas to be so crazy.

When he returned to Quel'Thalas after a hard battle and found out about the situation, he finally had no patience and broke out a battle with Kael'thas.

After all, he was a seriously injured person, and his body could not recover to its peak for a while. As for Kael'thas, he has been preparing for a long time. As a result, Romans finally failed, and at the same time, in order to save the Well of the Sun, the two bottles of Eternal Well Spring Water on his body were not actually used in the battle, otherwise he would not necessarily lose. As a result, after his defeat, the spring water was taken by Kael'thas, and instead of restoring the power of the Well of the Sun, he used it to strengthen himself, a move that greatly exceeded Romans' expectations, and he finally discovered that Kael'thas had been completely distorted.

So he decided to leave Quel'Thalas and ask Duten for help.

Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by Kael'thas, although he finally escaped, but his life was in danger, and now he is hiding in the mountains of the Eastern Plague Land and the Wraith Land, avoiding Kael'thas pursuit, and at the same time quietly sending a ranger to ask for help like Duten.
