Chapter 1538 I Have a Task for You

Except for Alleria and Vereesa, Duke took the opportunity to tidy up his harem one by one.

Of course, Duke used [Master's Gift] and [Dragon Taming] together for Vashj and Onyxia, who performed well in the Sunwell incident.

When Duke carefully studied the hyperemic stress response of the female Naga in the high elf form and completed the expedition in the dragon's lair, Duke put on his coat, came to the study, and began to take stock of the current situation of the alliance.

It's now 25 years since Dark Portal.

Although the major events in history happened one by one as expected, the current situation of the league is very different from that in history.

First of all, the seven human kingdoms are either still alive, or like Stromgarde, they have begun to recover as a sign of rebuilding their capital, Stromgarde. The vitality has not only been preserved, but has also improved greatly compared to history.

The second is the location:

After the Battle of the Sunwell, it can basically be declared that the entire Eastern Kingdom continent is monolithic.

Why do you say it is basically? Although the Amani trolls were cleared from the continent of Lordaeron, the remaining trolls went south into the Hinterlands, joined the trolls there, and used the complex terrain and tunnels to confront the Wildhammer dwarves of the Eagle's Nest Mountain.

Tunnel warfare has been a big problem since ancient times. In order to survive, the trolls were shamelessly engaged in tunnel warfare. There was really no good way to do it. The only way was to let the Bronzebeard dwarves cooperate with the Wildhammer dwarves to advance slowly.

Duke also had a better idea, it just took time.

Gilneas, the only one among the seven human kingdoms that has not joined the Alliance, is still playing idle games with itself. After all, they are both human beings, so it is impossible for Duke to force Jean Greymane to join the alliance. This would be inconsistent with the purpose of the alliance. Moreover, Gilneas will cripple itself sooner or later. When that old guy like Jean becomes the Wolf King, the Alliance will be able to completely consolidate its rule in Lordaeron.

After ten years, the plague and corruption in northern Lordaeron were basically purified by the druids of the Cenarion Circle. Grain production and population are recovering. Generally speaking, the continent of Lordaeron is not a big problem.

On the southern continent, the situation is much more complicated.

Although Duke had always hoped that the Bronzebeard Dwarves could occupy more territory, in fact it was too difficult for them to do so. The three Magni brothers are very awesome.

The Alliance's largest arms center is in Ironforge, as is its technology center. Ironforge is responsible for almost all flying battleships and large-caliber artillery.

Even if the fertility rate of dwarves is not low, it is only relative to that of elves. The small population of the Bronzebeard dwarves, after occupying Dun Morogh where Ironforge is located, Loch Modan in the east, the wetlands in the northeast, the barren land in the southeast, and the original Searing Gorge, Magni Great I made a vow - no matter how much land I have, I won't take it anymore.

Bronzebeard dwarves really don't have much need for territory, and their hobbies are more focused on forging and climbing technology trees. They even returned Grim Batol Fortress in the Marshes to their brothers, the Wildhammer dwarves.

Duke really didn't know whether he should remind the Wildhammer dwarves that sooner or later someone would cause trouble in the Twilight Highlands to the east of them.

The southern end of the southern continent was flooded because of the previous Molten Core. The Burning Steppes also doesn't live up to its name. Because a large river originates from the Black Rock Mountain and runs almost across the entire plain from west to east. It flows from the foot of Lieyan Peak Mountain to the east in the middle of the original plain to the desolate land.

The Burning Plains were previously covered in thick volcanic ash, but now there is water, coupled with the rich mineral content of the volcanic ash itself. This made the Burning Steppes the most fertile land in the entire Stormwind Kingdom.

Varian was beyond delighted.

Originally, Varian was still thinking about whether to discuss with Duke to bring Redridge Mountain under the direct jurisdiction of the kingdom, so that the royal family's direct jurisdiction could be connected together.

Duke thought it was troublesome, so he came up with a brilliant idea for Varian - to dig a hole in the mountain in the northern county of Elwynn Forest and open two large tunnels, one for carriages and the other for trains, directly connected to the Burning Plains. southwest.

The land is yours, and I'll pay for it. Is that kind enough?

Varian, of course, happily accepted this opinion. 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 Hakkar and occupied Zul'Gurub. Now the Kingdom of Stormwind has added the huge fertile land of the Burning Steppes. In the Kingdom of Stormwind, many people have begun to call Varian the ‘Holy King’!

In fact, throughout the ages, the kings who can leave a good name in history are those who resist foreign enemies and open up new territories.

Varian has done both, and leaving his name in history is a sure thing. The praise from the people also made Varian proud, and it is said that he almost lost his son - Anduin Wrynn, the famous dirty priest in later generations, had a brother.

In the southern continent, most trolls have become specimens. Before the Battle of Ahn'Qiraj began, Duke consciously allowed the Kingdom of Stormwind and his private soldiers to complete the purge. Firstly, there is indeed a reason for a purge, and secondly, Duke has no interest in leaving any trouble. If these guys suddenly change their minds and claim to convert to the tribe, with the current relationship between the alliance and the tribe, if Thrall asked Duke for it, Duke would be really embarrassed not to give it.

Since the remnants of Zul'Gurub still believe in Hakkar fanatically, I'm sorry, please get on your way.

There was just one troll clan that Duke couldn't attack. That's the Zandalar troll. These troll sages during the Dark Empire were not only wise and capable of playing magic. They also played a great role in the alliance's extermination of the Zul'Gurub trolls, leading the way. Moreover, they occupy a palm-sized island on the sea west of Stranglethorn Vale, so the Alliance really has no reason to deal with them.

Simply treat them as a neutral race and neither bully them nor open new territories for them on the Eastern Kingdom continent.

With the fall of Zul'Gurub, Stranglethorn Vale was divided equally between the Kingdom of Stormwind and Kul Tiras. Once Booty Bay is built, it will be safe to say.

As for the continent of Kalimdor, the support and suppression of tribes are being carried out in a planned way...

In the end there was only one question left.

"Alsace!" Duke sat on the bench and let out a long sigh.

If the gears of history do not change, then at most one or two years later, the Lich King will wake up from his long sleep, and Arthas' dark personality will take control of his body and prepare to launch an invasion.

Naxxramas, which would have been the vanguard of Alsace's troubles, was already in the hands of the Alliance, so the two idiots had only one card left worth Duke's attention.

With a thought in Duke's soul, the Ereda twins suddenly came in.

"Owner."

"You come to us."

Looking at the twins wearing translucent black gauze maid uniforms with slim and bulging figures. Duke smiled and pretended not to notice: "I have an important task for you."
