Crossing the Other World: My Warcraft System

Chapter 688: The Situation in Hillsbrad

Durnholde Keep itself is not just a simple orc concentration camp, it can even be considered a prosperous commercial city.

Of course, this is a distorted prosperity, because the city's economic source is centered on slaves, gladiatorial combat, and the black market.

Where there are people, there is fighting; where there is light, there is darkness. The slave trade and bloody gladiatorial contests attracted a large number of nobles to watch.

The ruling class of Stromgarde, including Garen's old father Thoras, are not omnipotent rulers. Garen had long ago positioned Stromgarde as the militarily advanced Sparta, and Lordaeron as the Athens where commerce and culture were advancing in tandem.

The Alliance and the orcs fought for several years, and after the victory, gold coins were invested like water to restore people's livelihood, rebuild the territory, and subsequently build orc shelters.

Everyone did hold a meeting to divide the spoils, and most of Alterac was divided up, but these territories needed time and population to enter the production stage, and the large amount of capital investment in the early stage almost caused Gilneas to collapse. Although the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas was a big spender, they were not stupid and did not want to be taken advantage of, so they withdrew from the group chat and no longer played the game of sending and grabbing red envelopes.

The remaining Kingdom of Alterac said, "I have already cut up everyone, you can't expect me to bleed to the last drop of blood, right?"

Stormwind Kingdom said, "I just rebuilt it. Not only do I owe Lordaeron and Stromgarde national debts, but I'm still paying the Stonemasons' Guild construction fees in installments, and the final payment is nowhere in sight. You want money? Or you can sue me."

The remaining Dalaran is a mage city-state. They make money quickly and are not short of money. In addition, Terenas does not dare to offend Antonidas, so their share of the money is not large.

The dwarves in the south are wealthy people who own mines. Their ironware is famously high-quality, and the countries in the eastern continent are scrambling to buy it. They have no shortage of money.

Kul Tiras itself is a country founded on maritime commerce. I never consider whether or not I have money when establishing diplomatic relations with other countries.

In the original history, the last remaining city, Stromgarde, refused to withdraw from the Alliance because Solas refused to do so. Eventually, the domestic economy was dragged down and the city began to decline.

In the timeline in which Garen intervened, the steward of the Crusaders paid huge amounts of taxes to the king every year, which made Stromgarde fat. Not only did it remain strong in the Alliance system until now, but even when Garen's overseas colonies were not all exposed, it had a tendency to surpass Lordaeron by relying on one-third of Hillsbrad, the Arathi Highlands and half of the Northron region.

Lordaeron is a populous country with four wealthy provinces, including the Tirisfal region, East Wilder, West Wilder, and the Silverpine Forest abandoned by Gilneas!

Terenas even began to doubt his life. I have been planning for more than ten years, and with a little trick I made the High Elves withdraw on their own, and then forced out Genn Greymane, who was the biggest threat to the position of leader. Why haven't I turned the Lordaeron Human Alliance into an alliance of the Kingdom of Lordaeron!

Isn't it because Solas, who was once regarded as a younger brother by Terenas, has risen up unnoticed?

Currently, the most profitable ways for the Trollbane royal family, apart from training war horses, are the commercial trade in Helm's Deep, the arms business in Eastshore, and of course the real estate in the royal city of Stromgarde after it has been expanded by half.

Of the four paths, three are the economic lifelines established by their own sons, and the remaining one is the legacy left by their ancestors.

You can't expect King Solas, whose brains are all brawn, to come up with any way to make money.

Relying on orc slaves to restore the farming industry in the Hillsbrad region is a basic operation for all countries, and Stromgarde is no exception. However, there are still a large number of orcs who cannot be locked up in internment camps and treated like waste.

Thus, at the instigation of the nobles, the Durnholde Arena came into being.

When it started making money, Solas even sent members of the royal family to guard it.

The 10,000 men named the Young Marshal's Legion by Garin were arranged by Danas in a camp near the Thodoril River.

This is a critical position. The defenders of the castle suffered heavy losses in the battle half a day ago. Before the First and Second Legions of the Soladin Wall were dispatched by Marshal Orest, the army brought by Rhonin and his men became Danas's reliance.

"According to the news we have received so far, the Lordamere Internment Camp has been breached by the orcs, and the local Lordaeron defenders have been completely wiped out."

Danas took Roning and the others to the castle, talking about the latest news as they walked.

"Lordamere Internment Camp? That place is to the west of Hillsbrad, and we are to the east. How did the orcs manage to cross most of the hilly area in such a short time?"

Rhonin has lived in Dalaran for nearly twenty years and is quite familiar with the situation in this land. The Lordamere Internment Camp is located in the south of Dalaran and is a medium-sized internment camp.

Originally this was the land of the Kingdom of Alterac, but was later divided up among the Kingdom of Gilneas. However, because this kingdom started a wall-building project, they gave up a large amount of land, including this shelter.

This internment camp was one of the earliest built. Over the past decade, orc prisoners have been continuously thrown into this internment camp. It is not very large, with approximately 40,000 orcs imprisoned. In addition to using them as labor to develop Hillsbrad Farm, it is also provided for research by mages in Dalaran.

Antonidas still hasn't given up his research on why the orcs have become weak.

"I suspect these are two different groups of orcs, or they split into two groups!" Danas said his guess. "And the orcs who attacked Durnholde are obviously from outside. I found dried fruits and a lot of dried fish from the south on them. This kind of fish can only be found in Stillwater Lake!"

After hearing this information, Ronin and Jaina looked at each other and saw the affirmation in each other's eyes.

It’s confirmed, the orcs from the south have already joined up with the orcs in the Hilton Brad area!

As for how they bypassed the heavily guarded Sador Strait.

"Brother Danas, how did the orcs from the south get here? They had to cross the land of the Kingdom of Stromgarde by land. In addition to the Sador Bridge, there is also Brother Garin's Holy White City in the southern mountains of Alterac. It is impossible for them to hide from the guards."

For now, Jaina can be awarded the first place among Garen's fans. As a Garen fan, she does not believe that the orcs can bypass the White City.

"Maybe it's at sea!" Ilucia interrupted after a long silence.

"On the sea? Impossible!" Jaina was even more unconvinced. The outer area of ​​the Palatine Gulf was the patrol range of the Kul Tiras naval fleet. The orcs did not have the ability to build a large number of ships, and using manpower and small sampans to avoid naval patrols was nonsense.

As the princess of Kul Tiras, Jaina has great confidence in her country's navy.

"Maybe... the pirates provided them with help!"
