Chapter 867: The Great Pioneer Era
In October, the weather is already a little cooler. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Near Orgrimmar, Thrall frowned as he watched as he hunted a large number of velociraptors and hung their flesh all over wooden scaffolds.
Durontar is not bad.
It's a bit desolate, but the fact that there's no shortage of prey is enough for the orcs to thrive again.
The problem is that Durotar is lacking because of its desolation...... Timber!
Thrall had the privilege of seeing humans use that magical building material called cement. He also learned more than once from the mouths of the orc predecessors how perfect and hard this so-called cement was.
Humanity spared the orcs because of the damn undead going to war, and that's a blessing. Thrall could never have expected Duke to be kind enough to send cement to the orcs to support the construction of Orgrimmar City.
Unfortunately, the orc craftsmen in this westward migration team will only make brick and wood houses. These artisans, who had been orc laborers, told Thrall that with the current process, they would not be able to make a house longer than two stories without good wood that was strong, thick, and long enough.
The city walls too!
Having heard of the horrific fire of the dwarves, Thrall decided that Orgrimmar needed walls to withstand the rough artillery bombardment.
The problem is back to square one, in order to finalize the city wall, it still requires a lot of good wood with the craftsmanship of the orcs.
Sal called out to Grom Hell Roar.
"Grom, the tribe needs your services and that of your people. ”
"You say. I do. "Grom, who has been eating a lot of fat and carrying a bloody roar lately, seems to be in good spirits.
"The tribes needed a lot of good timber to build cities and walls. Unfortunately, west of Durontar is a terrible place. ”
"Barrens, isn't it? a terrible and apt name. Grom pouted.
"The tribe's spies have been more than a week's walk from Durotal. The southern part of the Barrens is also a terrible place with few trees. To the west, the Stonetalon Mountains are no better, and the only thing with plenty of wood is the ash valley north of the Barrens. ”
"What's wrong there?"
"I don't know, maybe it's some intelligent race, or maybe some beast with a huge colony. Anyway, none of the scouts who entered the forest of Ashendale came back. It gave me a bad premonition. Sal frowned, he actually had a sense of foreboding.
Unfortunately, the nascent tribe was in dire need of good timber in abundance.
"What do you want the Warsong Clan to do?"
"You take your men and five thousand orc carpenters to cut down enough wood to come back without angering the natives of Ash Valley, which is about the same amount that five thousand people can carry. ”
"No problem. Grom whistled and walked out of the tent.
"Wait! Grom!" Thrall called out to the tribal hero.
"What?" said Grom.
"The tribe is too weak now, if you can, try not to clash with the large intelligent races on this continent. ”
Grom smiled, his fangs glowing coldly, "It's okay!
Thrall's bad premonition intensified, and he didn't have another formed force with enough numbers at his disposal. Lexa is quite relieved, but it's a pity that Lexa is just a lone ranger.
Wojin is not bad, the problem is that the number of Darkspear clans is too small.
Sal had no choice.
Unbeknownst to the Horde, less than five hundred kilometers directly south of the Kokar Cliffs at the southernmost tip of Durotal, Gianna's Alliance Expeditionary Force had also gained a foothold in the place called the island of Seramo.
Moreover, the construction of the island of Theramore was far faster than that of the tribal Orgrimmar.
In the middle of the island, a huge five-story mage tower has risen from the ground.
"It's hard to imagine that a building of this size took us only a week, and the rest of the week was actually waiting for the cement to dry completely. Looking at the Mage Tower, Gianna sighed.
"Yes. Egwen, the advisor next to him, agreed.
It's not the first time Gianna has seen a cement turtle.
But this magical building material, no matter how many times you look at it, you will feel amazing. As long as the craftsman marked the location of the stakes on the ground, in order to be in a hurry, Gianna even used magic to blast holes in the ground one after another.
After the craftsman inserts steel bars and pours the mixed cement into the long, straight holes blasted out by arcane magic, it is only three days to lay the foundation, and then it is time to erect the piles and pour the cement into the mold.
As for the cooling of the cement, this was never a problem, and Gianna did not hesitate to use frost magic to cool the cement quickly and evenly for the sake of her new home.
So in just a week, a miraculous mage tower stood in the middle of the island.
If Duke had been here, he would have praised Gianna for being self-taught.
In the history before the Duke crossing, when the people of the United States built the famous Hoover Dam, in order to rush the construction time, and also to let a reinforced cement concrete structure weighing more than 100 tons be cooled synchronously, after the modeling was completed, the cement was poured and directly poured there.
Now, Gianna has done it all with magic.
Watching the small kingdom of her dreams change day by day, and listening to the cheers of those people who have crossed the ocean to take refuge in her, she is so satisfied.
The only thing that bothered Gianna was that she, the Queen of Theramore, always seemed to be a bit out of character. There are too many places, there is the shadow of Duke.
Without cement and the Marcus family's construction team, they may have had to live in terrible tents themselves for the month they arrived. This is very uncomfortable for Gianna, who was born as a princess.
You know, the island of Theramore is half-surrounded by a muddy swamp. Since it's a swamp, or a swamp in the middle of summer in August and September, what's the most?
Mosquitoes!
Not everyone can run around with an ice shield like Gianna.
The sky is full of mosquitoes, and it is disturbing to see it from afar.
However, the powerful mosquito repellent liquid provided by the Marcus Chamber of Commerce for free, the mosquito killer lamp on the outside line, and the screen window solved most of Gianna's troubles very intimately.
Moreover, the extremely frustrating new reclamation method has made the entire island of Seramo from the beginning of its construction without so-called dead ends.
Not to mention, Duke had a large number of sums of money, a large pile of magical materials from Dalaran and Quel'Salas, shipped to the ship.
What for?
Make a magical defense inscription directly on the walls of the soon-to-be-built island of Theramore!
Gianna held her forehead: "I always feel like I'm like a kite, when that bastard Duke wants me to go back, just take the string back." ”
