Chapter 24: The Great Architect Barons Alexston
Chapter 24 Great Architect Barons Alexston
Experts see the doorway, while laymen see the excitement. Galen Trollbane didn't know which architect was more skilled, so he asked the three ethnic groups to each send out a few people and asked them to take out the design drawings.
Galen Trollbane couldn't understand the design drawings, but one of the designs was to hollow out the mountains between the old city of Stromgarde and Faldir Bay. While expanding the area of Stromgarde, the narrow Faldir Bay could also be turned into a large port. At the same time, the huge depression in the east of Stromgarde was turned into a new city and expanded into Stromgarde City.
This design seemed exaggerated, as it was to directly flatten and hollow out the mountains between the old city of Stromgarde and Faldir Bay, but it was in line with Galen Trollbane's idea.
Stromgarde was the first city of mankind and the main city of the ancient empire Arathor. It was once powerful, but because Stromgarde was too old, it had a huge drawback, that is, the area of Stromgarde was too small in the current situation.
The same is true for Faldir Bay. As the only outlet to the sea in Arathi Highlands, Faldir Bay cannot accommodate large-scale naval fleets and merchant ships, which is extremely disadvantageous. At the same time, Faldir Bay is a bit far from Stromgarde. It takes a mountain path and goes around the old city of Stromgarde to reach the main gate of Stromgarde. The route from Stromgarde to Faldir Bay is very vulnerable to attack. If the depression east of Stromgarde is turned into a new city, even if no new gate is opened on the east side of Stromgarde, the route to Faldir Bay will be firmly protected.
Galen Trollbane took out the design and asked, "Who designed this design?"
"It's me, His Royal Highness Prince Galen Trollbane." A simple human at a table stretched out his hand.
Galen Trollbane looked at the plain-looking man at the table and felt familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was, so he asked, "I admire your new design for Stromgarde. Tell me your name, the Great Architect."
When Galen Trollbane said the Great Architect, the human architects cheered happily, while the dwarf architects were a little disappointed, and the goblin designers were jealous. They all understood that Prince Galen Trollbane chose this human architect.
"Barons Alexston, from the West Wilderness." Barons Alexston did not say that he was from Stormwind Kingdom, but from the West Wilderness, which also represented his disappointment in Stormwind Kingdom.
Barons Alexston is not an ordinary human. Although he has not reached the level of nobility, he can be said to be a landlord. The Alexston family owns a large farm in the West Wilderness.
He grew up with Edwin Van Cleef and has an exclusive mission - childhood memories.
Hearing Baros Alexston's statement, Galen Trollbane instantly knew the identity of the man in front of him. In addition to that plot, Baros Alexston has two other identities, that is, the architect who rebuilt Stormwind after the Cataclysm and built a fortress for the Alliance during the Warlords of Draenor.
Among human architects, Edwin VanCleef is definitely the best, and the only one who can compare with him is his childhood friend, Baros Alexston, who is also a member of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons.
"Very good, Baros Alexston, I officially hire you as the chief architect of the reconstruction of Stromgarde. You will lead all architects to rebuild this city that witnessed the rise of our human race." Galen Trollbane did not intend to let the Brotherhood of Stonemasons or human architects complete this huge project. What he wanted was to learn from others and integrate the craftsmanship of the dwarves and the whims of the goblins into the reconstruction of Stromgarde.
For example, in dealing with the mountains in the old city of Stromgarde, dwarves who are good at building cities and digging holes in the mountains and goblins who like blasting are more efficient than human architects.
Hearing what Galen Trollbane said, the goblin architects were surprised. They came to Stromgarde to take on this job to make money. According to the goblin's principles, not making money is a loss. Even the honest dwarf architects smiled.
Rebuilding Stromgarde is a huge job, which may take one or two years, so Galen Trollbane has not resettled the refugees in Stromgarde, but in various places in Arathi Highlands.
This time, when rebuilding Stromgarde, more than 100,000 residents in Stromgarde must be relocated first. Galen Trollbane has already thought of a temporary resettlement place, which is the Refuge Valley in Arathi Highlands.
Refuge Valley was originally going to be the residence of the people of Stromgarde. This time, Stromgarde has not fallen, but Refuge Valley will once again become a temporary residence for the people of Stromgarde.
In fact, Galen Trollbane had no other choice except Refuge Valley. The population of Stormgarde has always been small. There are no other towns except Refuge Valley, unlike Stormwind Kingdom, which has four major towns: Lakeside, Goldshire, Moonbrook and Nightfall.
Now Stormgarde has occupied the Deadwood Village of the Deadwood residents in the southeast of Arathi Highlands, but without the transformation of Deadwood Village, no people from Stromgarde would choose to live there.
Deadwood Village is suitable for building a large town because of its geographical advantages, flat terrain and abundant water resources. Galen Trollbane plans to settle subsequent refugees in Deadwood Village in the future and turn the former territory of the Deadwood trolls into a new town in Stormgarde.
The work of relocating Stromgarde went very smoothly. The people of Stromgarde did not resist at all. They also wanted the city they were proud of to be reborn. After packing up the necessary items, they set out for the Refuge Valley.
These 100,000 people of Stromgarde made Galen Trollbane feel deeply. They believed in themselves and the Kingdom of Stromgarde so much that they did not escape when it was most difficult, but quickly moved out when Stromgarde was rebuilt.
It was because of such people that Galen Trollbane had the confidence to lead the Kingdom of Stromgarde to revive.
However, in secret, the nobles who returned to Stromgarde contacted the Syndicate in secret after seeing Galen Trollbane's move to rebuild Stromgarde and move the people to the Refuge Valley.
Duke Falkurest had sneaked into the Arathi Highlands. After learning this intelligence, he sneaked back to Hillsbrad Foothills as soon as possible and told Lord Aiden Perenolde the news. "Your Highness, now is the best time for us to attack. Galen Trollbane sent the people of Stromgarr to the Refuge Valley to rebuild Stromgarr. Now there are only 5,000 Stromgarr militia stationed in Stromgarr, which is very empty."
