Chapter 496: The Elf Who Suffers From the Fear of Insufficient Firepower
Vanessa rubbed her shoulders. Not long ago, she had just signed an order to distribute the land of the nobles to the civilians.
"Ah, so tired!" Vanessa lay on the table and didn't want to move.
Just a western wilderness made her busy. Now she finally understood why Sister Sylvanas said it was not easy to govern a country.
"You have done very well!" A familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in the room.
Vanessa, who was lying on the table, rolled over in an instant like a cat with its fur blown up. At the same time, a dagger appeared in her left hand, and her right hand was holding a well-strung crossbow. The blue arrow flashing with cold light was poisoned at a glance.
But just as she was about to pull the trigger, she was stunned in an instant.
"Teacher!?" Vanessa exclaimed.
"Long time no see!" Richard smiled slightly.
"Teacher!" Vanessa threw down the crossbow and dagger and rushed up to hug Richard.
"Okay, okay, you're already a grown-up girl. If you continue like this, you'll be laughed at." Richard smiled and rubbed her head.
"Who dares to laugh at me!" Vanessa raised her head from Richard's arms and said. Although she was not convinced, she still stood up straight.
"You've grown up and matured. I saw what you did. I have to say that you did a good job." Richard recognized what Vanessa did.
In his opinion, the Kingdom of Stormwind City has been rotten from the root. King Va was also a wise ruler, but he still couldn't rectify the domestic politics.
In the past, the nobles had a large number of troops and a large number of strong people. They were powerful. Even if there were civilians making trouble, they could deal with it and easily suppress it.
But now they are facing Vanessa, who directly spreads a lot of extraordinary knowledge, so that ordinary people can also become extraordinary people.
After having strength, how could those originally oppressed people still be oppressed by them honestly?
So the problem of Stormwind now is that if they don't make a thorough reform, they will soon be swept into the garbage dump of history.
Richard's arrival has basically announced the end of the Stormwind Kingdom.
In terms of high-end combat power, Stormwind has no advantage, and low-end combat power is even worse. Coupled with the shortage of food, Stormwind, which was originally thriving, has suddenly become a declining city.
Stormwind.
In the King's Hall, everyone is still arguing.
"Your Majesty, things are very troublesome now. It is difficult to discuss a perfect plan in a short time. Do you want to go back and rest for a while? I will notify you when there is a result."
Grand Duke Fortagan, who was not involved in the argument, said next to him.
"No, they should be about to come up with a result, wait!" Varian shook his head and rejected the Duke's kindness.
"Bolvar, do you think we were too hasty in killing Edwin VanCleef, which led to such a big mess now?"
Looking at the magnificent city in front of him, and thinking that it was actually built by the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, and they didn't even pay for the labor and materials, Varian couldn't help but sigh.
He had heard about the greed of the nobles in the city, but as the biggest noble, he couldn't say anything, because those nobles were the foundation of his rule.
He knew that it was wrong for these nobles to do so, but he couldn't stop them. If he had been tougher at the time and forced those nobles to give some money to those stonemasons, perhaps there would not have been the later events.
Now thinking about Vanessa, who had a deep hatred for their Stormwind City, Varian had a headache.
The Western Wasteland was occupied by Vanessa, and Stormwind City lost a grain production area. The two sides had completely turned into a life-and-death struggle, and there was no room for easing.
"Your Majesty, what we are promoting is just. Those people have become bandits. You made the right choice to order him to be killed."
"We did make some mistakes at the beginning, but it was all because of that hateful black dragon Onyxia who was interfering and provoking our relationship!"
Knowing Varian's thoughts, Bolvar hurried to comfort him. Their king is good in every way, but his sense of morality is a bit strong. If it were another king, he would not care whether it was the problem of those stonemasons, and would just kill them and be done with it.
"What you said makes some sense. Forget it, let's see the result of their discussion first!"
Even as a king, Varian can't do whatever he wants. After all, these nobles are all powerful nobles. Although the royal family is the most powerful, it cannot ignore the opinions of others.
Now Stormwind City has spread too much. They are confronting the Quel'Thalas Lordaeron Alliance in the north, and a part of the army has entered Outland. The rest of the army can only garrison Stormwind City.
Now we need to suppress the Western Wasteland. If we send too few troops, we may not only fail to solve the rebellion, but also be suppressed by them. But if we send a large army, what will happen to Stormwind City?
Who will protect the nobles when these troops leave?
Once Stormwind City is empty, what if it is attacked by others? Their property is all in Stormwind City. As long as there is a little risk, they will not agree.
Finally, the king waited for the solution that those people discussed. The kingdom paid a sum of money to let the nobles who escaped from the Western Wasteland recruit soldiers. The kingdom sent some instructors to train them, and then relied on these people to form an army and launch a counterattack against the Western Wasteland again.
Varian saw this solution and wanted to lead the army to wipe out the Western Wasteland, but in the end he had to agree.
Richard stayed in the Western Wasteland for two days, and then began to head to Quel'Thalas. He built a teleportation array here in the Western Wasteland, which can be teleported back at any time.
Even at a critical moment, an army of 10,000 people can be directly teleported. With this teleportation array, there will be no problem in the Western Wasteland.
Next, as long as Vanessa is given one or two years to operate, accumulate food, train the army, and then launch an attack, Stormwind City is not their opponent at all.
A burst of teleportation light rose, and the next second Richard appeared on the high tower of Silvermoon City.
Richard looked around, and there was no change from when he left. It was very clean and tidy. Obviously, someone often cleaned here.
The teleportation light attracted the attention of others, and soon a slender figure rushed in.
"Richard, is it really you? You're back!" The person who came was Sylvanas. Sylvanas, who was originally handling government affairs, rushed over as soon as she sensed the teleportation array of this tower was opened.
"Yes, I'm back." Richard said with a smile.
Sylvanas hugged Richard tightly with excitement.
Needless to say, after a battle of artillery fire, Richard hugged Sylvanas and lay on the astronomical platform of the tallest wizard tower in Silvermoon City, looking at the stars and chatting.
He also knew the changes that had taken place in Quel'Thalas during this period of time.
The population of Quel'Thalas is now five times more than before. Originally, there were only more than 20,000 elves left in Quel'Thalas. At that time, many elves fled to other places to avoid the war, and later returned one after another. About 10,000 or 20,000.
In addition, Richard helped them to transform their bloodline, allowing the high elves to give up a thousand years of life and gain stronger fertility and growth period.
As a result, almost every high elf family now has three to four elf children. It can be said that half of the population of the high elf kingdom is children.
The number of adult elves is about 50,000.
These high elf children also used blood potions, and their minds and bodies will grow and mature rapidly in fifteen years.
In just a few years, the population of the high elves will surpass the peak period before the war.
In addition to these, the high elf kingdom has developed very fast in recent years. The painful lesson of almost being exterminated at the beginning has made these high elves always have a sense of urgency, and everyone is studying day and night.
In the current Silvermoon City, the idle high elves are no longer seen.
In order to solve the problem of insufficient manpower, Richard taught the high elves how to make puppet golems. Now there are tens of thousands of various golems in the high elf kingdom.
These golems are now an important labor force in the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and almost all the reconstruction work is done by these golems.

At the same time, what surprised him even more was that the high elves were transforming Quel'Danas Island.
Quel'Danas Island was originally the private territory of the Sun King's Court, but after the last war, only Kael'thas was left in the Sun King's Court, and Kael'thas decided to transform Quel'Thalas into the last bastion of the kingdom.
Richard originally thought that they were going to build this island into a magic fortress, but after hearing Sylvanas's story, he realized that he underestimated the elves' ambitions.
The high elves combined the anti-gravity floating rune formation, rune engraving technology, and floating tower technology left by Richard, and actually planned to make the entire Quel'Danas Island into a floating island.
The entire Quel'Danas became a huge floating city.
It was not easy to lift a large island, even in the Motera world of the year, and it was even more impossible to do it with the original technology of the high elves.
But who let the high elves have the Sunwell?
As the water of the Well of Eternity, the Sunwell has the same ability as the Well of Eternity, which is to absorb energy from the universe and then convert it into well water.
With the Sunwell, it is equivalent to having endless energy.
In fact, the operation mode of the Sunwell is very similar to the Elemental Pool, but the efficiency of the Sunwell is countless times that of the Elemental Pool. How much energy can the Elemental Pool store? And the Sunwell can supply the energy of the entire kingdom without any effort.
The energy of the Sunwell is more powerful than its Mithr Energy Core.
It is precisely because of this Sunwell with almost endless energy that these high elves have such a bold idea.
As the energy source of the entire Quel'Danas, the Sunwell can supply all the energy Quel'Danas needs.
In the past few years, the high elves have arranged a large number of rune arrays on the entire island of Quel'Danas. They used the technology given to them by Richard.
These high elves reinforced the entire island with hardening. The effect of hardening makes the ground as hard as steel.
After completing the hardening spell, they laid a huge energy array across the entire island to transmit the energy of the Sunwell to all parts of the island.
At the same time, the energy arrays are linked to each other to form a larger rune array. The entire rune array is the anti-gravity floating array of Quel'Danas.
This anti-gravity floating array can lift the entire island.
At the same time, these high elves built eighteen wizard towers on the island of Quel'Danas. These wizard towers are nodes of the energy network and also the armed forces of the entire island.
All these wizard towers have built magic particle orbital cannons. At the top of the wizard tower, there is a silver pillar about ten meters high.
Each wizard tower can use the most powerful attack, the magic particle orbital cannon.
This kind of spell attack with a power exceeding ten rings can directly wipe out a legion with one shot. If it is used in a concentrated manner, even a legendary strongman can be solved at once.
If the filial son Arthas leads the undead scourge army again now, there is no need for others to take action. The attack of the eighteen wizard towers can directly kill them instantly. At the same time, the armies behind him will also be annihilated.
Such a powerful force, but Richard heard from Sylvanas that the high elves seemed to think that this was not enough, and seemed to be preparing to improve the technology and further enhance the power.
It seems that after the last incident of being destroyed by the Scourge, these high elves lacked a sense of security. Suffering from a similar phobia of insufficient firepower, they directly came up with a high-level magic particle railgun matrix.
Eighteen magic particle railguns are arranged in a certain energy matrix to attack, and this power is really destructive in the physical sense.
Not to mention the Scourge, even smaller planets can probably be killed with a volley.
This powerful weapon has basically no other disadvantages except high energy consumption, complex operation, and high cost.
In fact, the Supreme Arcane Council also studied this weapon at the beginning, but its energy consumption was too high, and even the elemental furnace could not handle it.
In the end, it could only be sealed.
The explosive power required for this energy is too high.
The high elves were able to do this because they had the Sunwell, an almost endless supply of energy, which allowed them to do so. For others, it would be impossible.
The energy consumed by the high-level magic particle railgun matrix is more than ten times that of eighteen wizard towers.
The damage caused basically reached the effect of a twelve-ring spell, which can destroy a material plane. Even the kingdom of gods may not be able to withstand it.
