Chapter 410: Count Windranger (Subscription Requested)
Another picture, it was the once beautiful silver pine forest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
All the trees were either burned or cut down completely.
Between the two huge camps, there is more than five kilometers of dead and uninhabited land. The earth is completely charred, and so are the corpses, and there are few corpses on the battlefield that are not black.
The flames burned almost everything, and any corpse that was not recovered that day would be scorched by the flames in the next day's battle.
Aurelia couldn't stand it anymore: "You just let your fellow citizens go to the Wilderness?"
Duke shook his head: "It's not that he doesn't want to recover the body, the key to the matter is that the tribe refuses to communicate." And there have been many times when the tribe sent people to attack the people who recovered the remains, and even the ogre took the people back and ate them alive. ”
Aurelia gagged.
"Now, with the exception of Dalaran and Alterac, almost all of the countries of the alliance are affected by the war. The losses of each country were great, because of the conscription, a large number of fields were left uncultivated. It's not hard to imagine that the next winter will be terrible. ”
Elf's long eyebrows drooped: "So, what happened to our people?"
Duke was pleased with the beautiful elf's use of the word 'we', and beckoned, "Come here, let's talk slowly." ”
"Ahead, you must not freeze the road. Aurelia added with a sigh of relief.
Duke was a little embarrassed: "Just don't run away." ”
Since that night at the State Guesthouse, Aurelia seems to have a shadow in her heart, refusing Duke to be behind her, and then she flashes quickly when there is any wind on Duke's side.
"You promise first!" Aurelia emphasized.
"Okay, well, I will never force you. Duke made a surrender gesture with both hands.
Aurelia sat down.
Duke whispered, "Actually, the situation in the Stormwind Kingdom is better than in most kingdoms. ”
"Huh?" Aurelia wondered.
Duke pointed to the map: "The Hillsbrad Hills are one of the few areas that have not been affected by the war. Although we have more than 600,000 refugees stranded here, we can basically have eight adults to become self-sufficient after all the meadows have been cleared into fertile land. ”
Aurelia was about to ask what to do with the remaining two percent, but suddenly found Duke's finger pointing to the western wilderness of the old Stormwind Kingdom territory.
"Here?"
"Yes, this is it. Duke smiled mysteriously: "Orcs are a nomadic race, they like carnivorous, in their planet, there are many huge and super-large prey, often hunting one is enough for hundreds of people to eat for a few days." Therefore, in their eyes, only land with a lot of wild game is a good territory. The Wild West was too barren for them. ”
When Duke said this, Aurelia burst out laughing. She had been to the western wilderness, and apart from the fact that there were many small monsters such as jackals and wild wolves, that empty plain was definitely the best place for human farming.
"The tribe prefers the Elwyn Forest, so when I asked my subordinate Edwin Van Cleeff to form a base behind enemy lines, it was forbidden for everyone to farm near the Elwyn Forest. A hundred kilometers away from the forest, a large number of sentinels and alarm systems are set up, and the area up to the sea is planted two hundred kilometers away. ”
Duke produced a report: "This is a list of summer grain harvests, quite good results, enough for 600,000 people to eat for a year." ”
Aurelia had a glow in her eyes.
Farming under the noses of the orcs, Duke figured it out and did it.
"In order to prevent the grain from getting wet and spoiling during the sea, I also invented the method of transporting the grain in rubber bags after drying it, which can reduce most of the loss on the sea route. Originally, for every sack of wheat that came in, one sack would be broken on the way. Now only 1 bag is broken for every 10 bags. ”
Sitting in front of Duke, Aurelia with her elbows on her knees and her face in both hands, staring at Duke: "I don't know where you got so many ideas." Alas, it's because you're so good that I thought you could do anything. ”
"Ahem!" Duke coughed dryly, "I'm not the God of Creation. ”
"Alright, as you expected, can we kill all the tribes?"
Duke spread his hands and confessed: "If you can win, you can't kill it." I've calculated that even if you kill every orc in the world of Azeroth, there will be at least two million tribes on the planet called Draenor on the other side of the Dark Gate. ”
Aurelia's expression darkened slightly.
"Still, I'll have Azeroth plant the Union flag on every corner of every corner. ”
At this time, I don't know when there will be an extra slender figure at the staircase.
Aurelia frowned: "Sylvanas, I didn't tell you how many times, now that we are different, come up to see Duke and knock on the door." ”
"I'd love to knock too, but what if I knock on the door and I miss some good show?" said Queen Nozomi with a sly smile on her face.
Aurelia blushed and bit her lip lightly: "Sister, you're enough!"
Duke smiled and asked, "Sylvanas, what's the matter?"
"No, I just want to make sure that our ranger of the Windranger family is your free mercenary Lord Duke, or is it really your vassal?"
"Sister, don't mess with Duke. Aurelia was in a hurry, thinking that Duke was just helping her out that day. After all, in the human kingdom, there is no precedent for canonizing a high elf as a hereditary nobleman.
Queen Xi shrugged: "We have more than 200 more people than originally planned, and many of them are trying to hope." It's not what I want to ask, I just have a forest. ”
"Oh, that's it, I'll leave it all to you. Duke had already prepared to take out an official document: "Please call any of you Wenresa and Lilath as well." ”
The Windranger sisters were dumbfounded.
This is a canonization permission signed by King Ryan Ureon himself. As a nearly independent duke, Duke has the power to directly canonize barons and lower titles, but the rank of viscount and count must be approved by the king.
The aristocratic rules of this era were vassals of the king's vassals, not vassals of the king. Duke has a maximum of three Counts as direct vassals, and Duke's vassals are not subject to the king's orders.
The four Windranger sisters never thought that Duke's movements would be so fast that they really got the approval down.
Aurelia is the Countess of East Elwyn Forest.
Sylvanas is a Baroness of the Eastern Twilight Forest.
Wen Leisa's fiefdom is the original Stone Tablet Lake, and now the Wind Lake, so she is the Baroness of the Wind Lake.
Lilath's fiefdom is Blackwell's pumpkin farm, and she is Baroness Blackwell.
All hereditary titles. (To be continued.) )
