Chapter 1538: There is a task for you
In addition to Aurelia and Wenresa, Duke found an opportunity to clean up his harem one by one.
Of course, for Vaschi and Onexia, who performed well in this Sunwell incident, Duke performed [Master's Gift] and [Dragon Training] together.
After Duke carefully studied the female Naga's congestion stress response in the form of the High Elves and completed his expedition in the Dragon's Lair, Duke went to the study with his coat and began to take stock of the current state of the Alliance.
It's been 25 years since the Dark Gate.
While the great events of history have happened as expected, the current state of the Alliance is very different from what it has been historically.
The first is that the Seven Kingdoms of Humanity are either still alive or, like Stormgard, have begun to regain their kingdoms with the restoration of the capital city of Fort Ripwater. The vitality has not only been preserved, but it has also grown far from history.
The second is the location:
After the Battle of Sunwell, it can basically be declared that the entire Eastern Kingdom continent is monolithic.
Why do you say basically? While the continent of Lordaeron cleared the Amani trolls, the remnants of the trolls headed south into Hinterland, where they merged with the trolls there, using the complex terrain and tunnels to confront the Hammer dwarves of Eagle's Nest Mountain.
Tunnel warfare has been a big problem since ancient times. In order to survive, the trolls shamelessly play tunnel warfare, and there is really no good way, but to let the copperbeard dwarves cooperate with the hammer dwarves to slowly advance.
Duke also has a better idea, it just takes time.
Gilneth, the only one of the Seven Kingdoms of Mankind who has not joined the Alliance, is still playing with himself. After all, Duke could not have forced Jean Greymane to join the Alliance, which would not be in line with the Alliance's purpose. And sooner or later, Gilneth will cripple himself, and when Jean's old fellow becomes the wolf king, then the alliance can completely consolidate its rule in Lordaeron.
Ten years later, the plague and corrosion in northern Lordaeron had been largely cleansed by the druids of the Senarion Council. Food production and population are recovering. In general, the Lordaeron continent is not a big problem.
On the southern continent, the situation is much more complicated.
Although Duke had always hoped that the Copperbeard Dwarves would take more of the market, in fact it was difficult for the strongmen. The three Magni brothers are very good.
The largest arms center in the alliance is in Ironforge, and so is the science and technology center, and almost all flying warships and large-caliber guns are in charge of Ironforge.
The fertility rate of dwarves is not low, if it is only relative to elves. The Copperbeard Dwarves took possession of Danmoro, where Ironforge was located, Rockmoren in the east, the wetlands in the northeast, the barren lands in the southeast, and the original scorching canyons, Magni gambled that he would not want any more territory.
The Copperbeard Dwarves don't have much of a genuine need for territory, and their hobbies are more focused on forging and climbing tech trees. They even sent the Grimbaatar Fortress of the Wetlands back to their brothers, the Hammer Dwarves.
Duke didn't know if he should remind the Hammer Dwarves that sooner or later someone would cause trouble in the Twilight Heights to their east.
The southern tip of the southern continent, because the former Molten Heart was flooded. The Burning Plains don't live up to its name. Because a large river originates from the Black Stone Mountain, it runs almost the entire plain from west to east, and flows from the Flame Peak Mountain in the east of the original plain to the barren land.
The burning plains, which were previously covered in a thick layer of volcanic ash, now have water, plus the abundance of minerals in the ash itself. This made the Burning Plains the most fertile land in the entire Stormwind Kingdom.
Varian couldn't have been happier.
Originally, Varian was still wondering if he could discuss with Duke and bring the Red Ridge Mountains under the direct jurisdiction of the kingdom, so that the direct territories of the royal family could be connected.
Duque was troublesome, so he came up with a brilliant idea for Varian to dig a hole in the North County of Alwyn Forest, and open two large tunnels, one side to the carriage and the other to the southwestern part of the burning plains.
The land is yours, I'll pay the money, it's kind enough, right?
Varian, of course, readily accepted the idea. According to the current level of engineering technology, it will be open to traffic in one or two years.
Because during his tenure, Varian defeated the trolls who believed in Haka and took Zulghrab. Now it has added the Burning Plains to the Stormwind Kingdom. In the Stormwind Kingdom, Varian has begun to be referred to by many people as the 'Holy King'!
In fact, throughout the ages, there has been no king who has left a good name in history than defending against foreign enemies and opening up territories.
Varian did both, and it was a sure thing to leave a name for himself in history. The praise of the people also brightened Varian's face, and it is said that he almost smashed his son - the famous dirty pastor Anduin Wryon added a brother.
In the southern continent, most of the trolls have become specimens. From before the Battle of Angela began, Duke consciously allowed the Stormwind Kingdom and his own private soldiers to complete the purge. First, there was a reason for the Great Purge, and second, Duke was not interested in leaving the aftermath behind. In case these guys suddenly change their minds and claim to be converted to the tribe, with the current relationship between the alliance and the tribe, Sal asks Duke for it, and Duke is really embarrassed not to give it.
Since the remnants of Zurghrab are still avid in Haka, I'm sorry, please get on your way.
It's just that there is a troll clan that Duke can't start. That's the Zandalar troll. These troll sages of the Dark Empire were not only wise and magical, but they also made great efforts to eliminate the trolls of Zur Grab in the Alliance. Moreover, they occupy a small island the size of a palm in the sea off the western side of Thorn Valley, and the alliance really has no reason to clean them up.
Simply neutralize them as a race, neither bully nor open up new territories for them on the Eastern Kingdom continent.
With the fall of Zurgrab, the Valley of Thorns was divided equally between the Kingdom of Stormwind and Kurtilas. After the construction of Treasure Bay, it can be said that you can rest easy.
As for the Kalimdor Continent, the support and suppression of the tribe is being carried out in a planned way......
In the end, there was only one question left.
"Arthas!" Duke let out a long sigh as he sat down on the bench.
If the gears of history don't change, then in a year or two at most, the Lich King will wake up from his somnipotence, with the dark personality of Arthas taking control of his body and preparing to launch an invasion.
Naxxramas, who would have been the vanguard of Alsace's troubles, was already in the league's hands, so there was only one card left for the two fools to keep an eye on.
A thought occurred in Duke's soul, and the Ereda twins suddenly came in.
"The hosts. ”
"You come to us. ”
Looking at the twins who are dressed in translucent black gauze maid clothes and have delicate and convex figures. Duke smiled and pretended not to see, "I have an important task for you. ”
