26. The magic box opens. The Big Bang

The people of Kul Tiras are still sensible.

They did not desperately fight the undead on their own soil, and after most of the Druswa and Tiragad Straits were overrun by the undead, the situation in Kultilas, backed by the Stoxon Valley, had reached its most critical moment.

Under these circumstances, Dai Lin, who had returned to the kingdom, gave a new order resolutely.

In addition to having enough supplies to fight on your own territory, you must also calm the minds of the people, especially after most of the people in the Strait of Tilagad have lost their homes, how to settle these refugees has become the most important thing in the battle against the undead.

In the end, Dai Lin's decision did not go beyond the thinking of the great nobles, and he chose to send some of his citizens to the overseas territory managed by Kurtiras, the island of Tol Barad, which is closer to the eastern continent, and the other part of the inhabitants to the eastern continent, where they will start a new life in the now sparsely populated hills of Hillsbrad... At the same time, it serves as a source of soldiers for the empire.

This can be regarded as a compensation to the empire in another sense after Kurtiras's army withdrew from the frontal battlefield, and with the current situation of Kurtilas, even the most stern leader cannot ask Dai Lin to abandon the country and fight for the human empire.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling the generals and marshals of the empire were, the undead still bypassed their normal tactical thinking and opened up a second battlefield overseas, and the significance of this move, anyone with a little strategic acumen can see, is to divide the military power of the empire, divide the power of the maritime power Kurtiras in two, and greatly weaken the naval power of the empire.

This was an upright conspiracy, and even if Lothar saw the evil purpose beneath the undead movements, he had to grant Dai Lin's request.

If he refuses strongly, the people of Kul Tiras may completely alienate themselves from the Human Empire, which is a consequence that Lothar and the Human Empire cannot afford.

But how to settle these immigrants who have left their homeland and are full of hatred for the undead has become the top priority for the officials who fall on the center of the empire, especially in the current situation of the war on the front line of Arathi, how to integrate this force into the imperial system in the shortest possible time is a matter that extremely tests the administrative ability of the imperial officials.

There is no shortage of land, the orcs have ravaged here back then, so that the population of the hills of the Hillsbrad Hills has not been able to recover until now, and the fertile arable land is overgrown with weeds, and there are simply not enough farmers to cultivate it, so in the following week, when the merchant ships and troop transports from Kul Tiras and the empire were sent to Nanhai Town, the displaced immigrants were quickly assigned their own land and property under the guidance of local officials.

This has somewhat calmed the minds of immigrants with the thoughts of their homeland, but the real danger is also coming at this time.

One-third of the Hills Brad Hills belonged to the former kingdom of Alterac, and after Countess Presto gifted Alterac to the emperor as a royal lord, this part of the hills was also directly under the administration of the royal domain, and the officials promoted by Lothar from the commoners were generally very capable, but their number was too small, after all, the empire had only been established for a few years now.

And people's energy is always limited, when most of them are busy with the resettlement of an endless stream of immigrants, the investigation of the original royal domain is naturally suspended, and the bandits and thieves who were forced to run around by the imperial intelligence officers finally have a chance to breathe, but after seeing the iron-fisted rule of the Emperor of Lothar, anyone with brains knows very well that being a traitor in the royal territory is definitely a matter with too little reward and too much risk.

So many criminals took this opportunity to escape from the royal territory, but there were also some strange guys who sneaked into the snowy mountains and towns of the royal territory from the same underground channels.

New Towermere, a human town close to the Thunderspear Dwarves' station, has become more and more prosperous, especially after the fall of Ironforge, some of the dwarves who escaped went to Eagle's Nest Mountain, but some of them went to the Thunderspear Fortress in the Alterac Valley, including the current titular ruler of the Copperbeard Dwarves, Moira. Copper whiskers.

This princess has been living a secluded life recently because she is pregnant, but the Imperial Intelligence Officer has also noticed that there have been many traces of Black Iron Dwarf activities near the fortress of the princess Moira, that is, this princess who seems to be quiet is actually secretly planning her own revenge.

With half of the blood of the Thoresen family of the child in her womb, she also theoretically has the right to rule over the Black Iron Dwarves, and for a possible rebellion in the core area of the undead in the southern frontier that the empire cannot reach at present, the empire retains a tacit and supportive attitude, after all, with the current strength of the empire, they are really powerless about the situation in the Black Rock Mountain.

And there are very few humans who can come into contact with the mysterious dwarven princess, among them there are some nobles who are good friends with the dwarves, and some big businessmen who cooperate with the dwarves, among these people with status, there is an 18-year-old girl who is very conspicuous, she is a small merchant from New Tallenmere, named Taresha, who looks very young, but is very skilled in doing business.

Many merchants wanted the background of this very self-acquainted little girl in the hall, but the mere ones they could find out were enough to cut off any desire to hurt her.

She is a good friend of General Patton, the commander of the Air Force in the Thunderspear Dwarves.

She had dined with the Human Emperor more than once.

Her name is a very important "protected person" in the Imperial Intelligence Officer's Handbook.

Finally, she has a younger brother... His name is Thrall, the young chief of the Orc Frostwolf tribe who is currently migrating to the continent of Kalimdor, and one of the four young heroes of the Orcs, he and three other young Orcs are willing to become protons in exchange for peace between the Orcs and humans.

In terms of the concept of orcs, once Thrall is harmed, it is difficult to say whether the orcs will return to the Eastern Continent in this eventful season, and because of Thrall's relationship, Taresa has also gained a lot of convenience.

In the past two years, she has managed more and more businesses, and the grocery store "Taresa and Sal's Cottage" has opened in every major city in northern Xinjiang, and Taresha's boyfriend is also very powerful.

He is a young genius who has recently distinguished himself in the Imperial Intelligence System, an excellent talent who has brought back valuable information about the undead many times, and currently serves as the third-level leader of the Imperial Intelligence System, managing more than 120 Assassins... Compared to the previous reasons, this last one is a very powerful threat.

And Taresa has also become a human friend of the dwarven princess Moira because of her straightforward personality and meticulous care, and in private occasions, she can even comb the princess's hair or help her rub her puffy feet.

Taresha's true genius lies in the fact that she does not hide her purpose in approaching Moira, and she occasionally uses her modest powers to help the bitter princess achieve her revenge.

Even occasionally, these big names will be saved.

"Bang"

On the edge of the town of New Tallenmere, the door to the "Taresa and Sal Hut" was pushed open, and an anxious-looking Tails rushed into the store, rushing to the third floor of the grocery store without saying hello to the clerk.

The clerks had turned a blind eye to this, and it was no secret that their little boss and the handsome young man were a little ambiguous.

"Taresha, Taresha, come out!"

Tyres, who was dressed in casual clothes, anxiously knocked on the door of his girlfriend's boudoir, at this point in time, Taresa should be taking a nap, and a moment later, the door opened, wearing only pajamas, and a lazy Taresa looked at Tails dissatisfied, screaming:

"I've said it all, don't bother me while I'm resting! Yikes! What are you doing! Get out! Get out! ”

Before the little boss finished speaking, he was picked up by Tails and rushed into the room, the little boss was red with shame, thinking that his boyfriend was some... But not really.

Tails threw his girlfriend on the bed, then opened the closet, grabbed a few pieces of clothing and threw them at her, turned his back, and said in a quick tone:

"Get dressed and come with me... It's not safe here! ”

"Huh?"

Taresa sensed the seriousness of the matter from Tails' movements, and she immediately took off her pajamas, and began to dress in a hurry, and as she wore them, she asked:

"What the hell is going on?"

"A bunch of madmen with werewolf plagues have stormed the royal territory, there are now their men in New Tarunomir, who knows what they will do with those plague specimens, anyway, come with me, this town will be blocked by soldiers in a moment, I can't interfere with the military operations of the local garrison, but this is undoubtedly a stupid choice."

“!!!”

Taressa's expression immediately became nervous, she subconsciously took out a small dwarven musket from her drawer, she grabbed her boyfriend's hand with some fear, she asked in a low voice:

"Who did it? Who would be so mad? ”

"Undead, it must be them!"

Tails pulled Taresa through the door, and Tyrion's face appeared in front of him, and what he had said, and after a moment, he hesitated:

"But it shouldn't be the order of the King of the Blades, it's the actions of the lords under his command on their own initiative."

"How do you know?"

Taresa looked snuckly at the soldiers around her who were blocking the streets, and she gritted her teeth and asked:

"Do you know him well? I've heard that Tyrion eats people. ”

"I've seen him... I know that he commanded the undead not to harm civilians..."

Tails wanted to say something, but the words buried in his heart did not come out, and he silently escorted his girlfriend out of town, put her in the carriage, and then said to her:

"Go directly to Lordaeron, don't stay, the royal territory is no longer safe, the power of the undead has infiltrated here, protect yourself, I will go to you!"

"Tails! Tails! Give me back! ”

Seeing her boyfriend decisively turn around and return to the town, the little boss's mind was immediately filled with a kind of worry, she called out Tails' name, but there was no response, and finally, the little boss gritted his teeth and said to the coachman:

"Go to Thunderspear Fortress!"

After the galloping wagon, the town of New Tallenmere was in chaos, and the discovered syndicate dead no longer hid themselves, they took out golden syringes from the packages they carried with them, and poured those dark green strange liquids into their bodies.

They don't need to use these plagues as a poisoning weapon at all... They themselves are weapons!

"Whoa!"

The condensed sample quickly took effect, and in a terrible wolf howl, the werewolf maniacs, whose bodies were covered with manes, muscles and blood-red eyes, and whose hearts were filled with anger and fanaticism, rushed out of their hiding places, and in the midst of the soldiers' surprise, they tore open their throats, tore their skin with their claws carrying the virus, and let the disease pass through blood to one person after another.

New Tarenmere was one of the most prosperous towns in the Crown, so the number of dead soldiers placed here was high, and after the unsuspecting soldiers were scratched, they became a new source of infection in a short time, and at this exponential rate of spread, in less than 10 minutes, the entire garrison of Talenmere was almost wiped out.

The inhabitants screamed and tried to escape the chaotic, blood-soaked and deadly town, with innocent civilians involved, but thanks to the efforts of the intelligence officers led by Tails, most of the civilians were evacuated from the town, and then a steady stream of knights entered the town to suppress the sudden outbreak of werewolves.

Looking at the brutal war between those werewolves and knights, Tails felt numb all over his body, he was not afraid of the power of werewolves, he could easily kill these beasts, but after seeing the terrifying spread of the werewolf plague, a doubt that had been hidden in his heart was answered.

The source of Gilneys's bestiality disease must be inseparable from Tyrion, and before the establishment of the empire, Gilness's bestiality disease had already begun to spread, that is to say, Tyrion has planted his own power in the northern frontier since that time, if he can control these werewolves, once Gilnis's werewolves rush into the hinterland of the empire, then...

Thinking of that terrible result, Tails could feel his body tremble.

And that's just the part of them that they actively exposed, what about those who weren't? For example, the gossip about vampire touches that has recently gone viral among royal realms... In the face of such a calculating opponent, can the empire really win?

Perhaps, at this time, it would be wise to completely join the side of the undead.

"Tails! Tails! ”

Just as the Assassin was worried about his future, his young girlfriend's voice sounded behind him again, and Tails was startled and turned back to see Taresa riding on a griffin, landing outside the town with General Patton, and behind them was the heavily armed Thunderspear Air Force.

General Patton placed Taresa on the ground, then grabbed his hammer and led the griffon knights into the scorching town, where Tails could still hear them roaring.

"Keep the princess safe! Kill all the beasts! ”

"Thunderspear Guards! Charge! ”

"How did you say that you moved these stone heads?"

Tails hugged his trembling little girlfriend, he hugged her tightly, as if afraid of losing her, while Taresa buried her head in Tails's chest, and she said angrily:

"I lied to them, I lied to them that the undead had dropped the werewolves on New Tarenmir in order to attack Queen Moira... Now that it's over, the princess will definitely hate me for it. ”

"No, she won't, she'll just thank you for that."

Tails breathed a sigh of relief and brushed his girlfriend's hair, and he whispered:

"Don't forget what your boyfriend does, in short, I have to write a report quickly, this time, the internal order of the royal domain, it is estimated that there will be a big earthquake."
