The correct way to open the sprite

The southern mountainous area of ​​the Meteor Mountains, known as the paradise of Warcraft, was originally the home of the gnomes.

However, as the number of humans increased and the living environment expanded, the dwarfs were forced to cross the mountains and reach the western foot of the Snowtop Mountains, and built their new home on the other side adjacent to the dwarf kingdom.

Subsequently, humans occupied the territory of the original dwarfs. The Brocade Empire sent five city lords here at a time, and each city sent dozens of nobles, large and small.

This was the Brocade Empire's strategy for city development, relying on city lords appointed by the empire to manage the city and sending nobles to take over various industries in the city.

Let the city lord in charge of civilians, the nobles in charge of business, and the garrison general in charge of warriors form a city management system.

Such city lords are generally small nobles with meritorious service, loyalty to the imperial royal family, and little foundation. They are supported by the imperial royal family to limit the development of established nobles and balance the aristocratic power within the empire.

The territory of the gnomes in the southern part of the Meteor Mountains has turned into five new cities due to the huge number of humans. Although they are not as fast as cattails, the profit drive still makes these five cities prosperous.

Of course, the so-called cities here also refer to cities of the size of Gerien, which means that if the permanent population exceeds [-], it can be called a big city.

With these five rising cities as bases, a large number of mercenaries and adventurers poured into the Meteor Mountains from the barren Elf Forest and the southern part of the Snowtop Mountains.

The arrival of adventurers has made the taverns, inns, restaurants and other businesses in the city very busy. The Chamber of Commerce that followed the adventurers has made this busy even more grand than when the Elf Forest was plundered.

For a time, materials such as potions, mineral deposits, and animal skins in the Meteor Mountains were obtained by adventurers and poured into the Brocade Empire through the Chamber of Commerce.

The adventurers also received considerable monetary rewards, which intensified the commercial prosperity of the new city.

The legends of adventurers becoming rich overnight also caused more adventurers to come from all over the Brocade Empire and join the army of gold panning in the Meteor Mountains.

This will be a disaster for the indigenous creatures in the Meteor Mountains. After all, humans are different from dwarfs. Dwarfs are small and have small needs, so they do not develop the areas where they live.

The gnomes in the Meteor Mountains mostly defend themselves against harassment by wild beasts, rather than actively developing the Meteor Mountains.

The human race is different. There are more and more of them, and they are organized into mercenary groups and adventurer teams. They take the initiative to penetrate into undeveloped areas near human gathering places, hunt wild beasts and magical beasts, and dig out medicinal herbs and magic potions. .

Even when they see flat and fertile land, they will record it and report it to the nearby city in exchange for payment.

The city lords of those cities will divide the land that can be cultivated through regional division to the small nobles who supported the construction of the city.

The land within the Brocade Empire has long been divided up. In order to obtain land that can be planted as the foundation of family heirlooms, the small nobles have to hold their noses and line up to contribute money and effort to the new city, just to get land that can be developed as soon as possible.

At that time, they can recruit farmers to build farms, so that their families can rely on the land to continuously absorb wealth.

It's not that there are no other ways to make money in the Brocade Empire, but since the empire has been stable for so long, those avenues have long been occupied by the royal family and the great nobles.

This is a mature process of opening up territories and is something that the royal family of the Brocade Empire is proud of.

The reason why the Elf Forest was plundered but not developed on a large scale was because it was the battlefield where the Brocade Empire and the Moran Empire clashed.

But in the unclaimed land of the Meteor Star Mountains, the Brocade Empire had completely let go.

The ambitious Emperor Weaving Brocade has ordered the minor nobles who have contributed to the royal family to be arranged in order, waiting for the Meteor Mountains to make room for new city lords.

The Brocade Emperor even had a plan that no one had told, which was to build a large city there as a retreat for the Brocade Royal Family once the Meteorite Mountains had been developed to a certain extent.

The Fertile Plains are not easy to defend, but the Meteorite Mountains, which the mountains rely on, are full of natural dangers. Even if the planar war situation deteriorates, the Brocade Empire can still rely on the Meteorite Mountains to preserve the most effective force, and sooner or later the planar creatures will be driven out of its own territory again. territory.

It has to be said that the plan of the Brocade Emperor is perfect, just like Feng Yu relied on Cattail City to lock the eyes of mankind on the Great Wilderness, and then put the entire Great Wasteland into his bowl.

However, Feng Yu's fate was not very good. The Bone Gate of the underworld opened inside the city of Cattail City. If it weren't for the technology of Cattail City and the two great magisters, Cattail City would have almost become a dead zone where the undead ravaged.

Things were changing, and just when the Brocade Emperor was ambitiously preparing to develop the Meteorite Mountains and expand the empire's area by a large area, something went wrong inside the Meteorite Mountains.

An unusual wave of waves emitted from the north of the Meteor Mountains at a frequency that ordinary people could not detect, spreading out like water waves.

If Anthony, Dempsey, or Feng Yu were here, they would definitely know that the very uncomfortable fluctuations were the precursor to the opening of the plane door.

However, it is a pity that in order to ensure the safety of the imperial city and not to overly stimulate the powerful Warcraft and a few solitary dragons in the Meteorite Mountains, the Brocade Empire does not have a powerful person of the Grand Mage level in the Meteorite Mountains area.

The Dharma Saint Cromwell has a good relationship with the mermaids because of his guidance on the trade between the mermaids and Cattail City, and his rank as the Dharma Saint. During this time, he is studying the mermaid clan's various enriching magics.

Wei Zhi was also joining in the fun with her grandfather, but the little girl was simply interested in creatures like mermaids and played in the water with a group of little mermaids.

Cromwell, who was lowering his head to record, suddenly stood up and looked to the northwest.

"Oops, a plane passage has opened."

Cromwell quickly packed his things and shouted Wei Zhi.

"There is a plane door opening in the northwest. Go tell Darren quickly and ask him to send a message to Moran and Brocade. I will go and take a look first."

"Grandpa, be careful"

"I know, just stay in Cattail City and wait for me to come back."

After speaking, Cromwell flew up and flew towards the northwest sky.

Wei Zhi looked worriedly at Cromwell who was walking away. She hugged Cromwell's notes with red eyes and ran towards the nearby Iron Army guard.

The little girl knew that this was the way to contact and see Feng Yu.

After receiving the news, Feng Yu rushed back and saw the tearful little girl Wei Zhi.
