Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid Chapter 120

The latest website: After Talanji left, Li De did not delay any more, and rushed to Alterac with everyone the next day.

Because there were more people this time, in addition to Li De and several personal guards, the thirteen Paladins led by Da Suohan, and the heralds sent by Lordaeron.

The messenger carried the letter of appointment issued by the leaders of the alliance countries. Only after the commission reached Alterac and read it out in public did Lothar truly take over Alterac.

Because of the complexity of the personnel, going to Alterac this time will not be able to directly pass through Lordamere Lake last time, which is too informal.

If you take the official route to Alterac, there are normally two routes.

One is by land, going south through Andorhal in the East Wilder area, into the Alterac Mountains; the other is by water, from the port of Lordaeron merchant ships, bypassing the mainland north to Hillsboro Disembark at Southsea in the Ryde Hills and head north from Southsea to Alterac.

The water route is relatively more cumbersome, so Li De and the others chose to take the land route. In fact, there is another reason for this, that is, when they go to Alterac this time, Thorbane will also travel with them for a while.

After reaching Alterac, Trollbane will continue south to the Hillsbrad Foothills, then travel west through Thoradin's Wall, and enter the territory of Arathi Highlands, which is the territory of Stromgarde.

The Alterac issue has been resolved, and the leaders of various countries have returned to their own countries to handle government affairs. Greymane took the road of Silverpine Forest west of Tirisfal; Archbishop Antonidas is more convenient and arrives from Lordaeron. Laran, there is a direct connection portal.

In contrast, only the road that Thorbane has to take is a little more troublesome.

"The straight-line distance is so close, but it has to take so many wrong paths."

Li De can really understand Stromgarde now, why the monarchs of all dynasties want to take Alterac. Because the communication between the East and the West is really inconvenient, they desperately need a dry dock that is convenient for communication.

Sure enough, Li De's words immediately resonated with Thorbane, and he couldn't help complaining.

"The first half of your journey is still good, and the second half of the journey I will take myself will also cross the Tarren Mill River.

Arathi Heights is actually very fertile, but the traffic is poor. To the south is the Great Swamp, to the north is the rolling mountains, and to the east is the Forbidden Sea.

If you want to engage in trade, you can only do business with the west. But even doing business with the west side, the road is not easy to walk. "

Reed has brought so much to the Alliance since the end of the war. The vast amount of cotton spinning threads in Kul Tiras came from Li De's territory, and now it is almost a half-open secret.

In Thorbane's eyes, Li De has long been qualified to communicate with him on an equal basis. He took the initiative to tell Li De this, that is, to see if Li De, who is proficient in trade, can give him some good ideas.

Li De didn't hide it either.

"If you want to improve the current situation of Stromgarde, solving the traffic problem must be the first priority. Of course, even if you strengthen the transportation facilities, the geographical environment of Stromgarde is not suitable for frequent small commodity trade.

The more frequent the trade, the higher the transportation cost. The best way to stress transportation costs is to reduce the frequency of transactions and increase the volume of a single transaction. The larger the volume of a single transaction, the lower the shipping cost.

However, correspondingly, the larger the single transaction volume, the higher the storage cost. If the goods are not competitive enough to ensure smooth shipment every time, the huge backlog of goods will overwhelm a country.

If you want to develop trade, I will take someone to visit you when there is a chance. See what local specialties are good for big deals before you start thinking about development. "

After Li De finished speaking, Thorbane showed a dazzling expression on his face.

"You are too powerful. You have explained the truth in just a few words, which I have never understood. Did you learn from your goblins?"

Tolbane's praise made Li De a little embarrassed, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

"As it should be, goblins are a race that is good at doing business. Since you lead some goblins, you must learn how they do business.

Otherwise, those cunning goblins would not be honest. Before the outbreak of the war, there were always goblins from the south who passed through many obstacles to Stromgarde, which shows how good they are at drilling camps.

As a leader, if you don't understand business, you will definitely be deceived by them. "

Torbane has nothing good to say about goblins here. When he was still a prince, he was tricked by goblins and spent a lot of money to buy a stone that could be seen everywhere.

Li De snickered aside, thanks to the fact that there are no goblins with him now. Take the Knicks as an example, if he hears it, he must secretly put a bomb on Trollbane.

A joke is a joke, but Li De still admires Thorbane, and this conversation has changed his view of this martial-arts king.

"You are also amazing. As far as I know, Stromgarde didn't pay attention to business before. You can take the initiative to hope to develop business and improve the lives of the people, which is really worthy of admiration."

Torbane quickly said modesty, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

If he could, he wouldn't want to do this. Stromgarde has been a sturdy people since ancient times. It is famous for highland warriors. Why has it ever produced merchants?

But now the times have changed, and the emergence of the alliance made him realize that there is a high probability that there will be no large-scale wars between the human races in the future, and the martial Stromburg is likely to be useless.

Their country cannot change the general trend, and if they withdraw from the alliance, the future of Stromgarde will be even worse. In order to have a way out, they must change with the times.

Seeing that Torbane didn't speak any more, Li De also seemed to realize what he was thinking.

"The establishment of the alliance has brought us a benefit, and we can communicate with the outside world at the size of a clan, as evidenced by the introduction of griffins from the Wildhammer dwarves.

Bronzebeard dwarves and gnomes have cutting-edge technology that we have never had before. Through in-depth communication in the future, the mountains, deep valleys, swamps and jungles may become channels. "

Li De's words gave Thorbane great encouragement, and it also inspired him a lot.

"You're right. It seems that after returning to China, the first thing I have to do is to learn how to control the griffins, so that I don't have to be so troublesome when I travel by myself in the future."

It's a bit surprising to say that, a heroic warrior, Trollbane doesn't even know how to use a griffin.

Perhaps it is also because of his status as a monarch that he has been unable to save face and accept new things.

It was only in the recent period that the opportunity for his transformation, in addition to the new wind that Li De brought to the alliance, was his nephew.

King Trollbane's full name is Thoras Trollbane, and his nephew is Danas Trollbane, who has been fighting side by side with Turalyon and Khadgar.

After joining the Alliance Army and walking out of the Arathi Highlands, the two-year battle between the North and the South, and the exchanges between countries within the Alliance, have opened the eyes of this prince.

Occasionally, when the army passed by his hometown, Danas would eagerly share it with his uncle. For this young and bereaved prince, the uncle who accompanied him growing up was almost equal to his father.

In fact, in the process of talking with Thorbane, Li De deliberately did not mention one thing, that is magic.

Torbane himself doesn't understand magic, so he has no concept of how magic can improve life. But Li De knew very well what kind of impact magic would have on life if it could be popularized.

It's just that since ancient times, several crises on Azeroth were caused by the abuse of magic. That's why not only other people, even within the mage, tend to be more conservative and indulge in secret politics.

If the teleportation circle can be turned into an infrastructure in the whole world, people's way of life is likely to change beyond imagination. Of course, the premise of doing so is to make arcane magic harmless.

The Burning Legion has historically been able to lock Azeroth's position through arcane energy, which means that there must be an inner connection between fel energy and arcane magic that is still unknown.

Of course, Li De is not a mage, and his understanding of arcane magic is by no means an expert. But fortunately, he and Antonidas have always had a good personal relationship, and because of this crisis, Dalaran is also studying the fel energy mastered by the orcs, and maybe he can ask Antonidas for advice later.

With so many people walking and chatting along the way, time can pass quickly. The speed of travel was not urgent, so that in the afternoon two days later, everyone finally walked out of the territory of East Wilder and entered the Alterac Mountains.

The peaks on both sides have begun to show that the lower half is a rock bottom, and the upper half is a natural landscape with a snow top~www.mtlnovel.com~ Li De reminded everyone carefully.

"Although the marshal has already brought troops in, there are a lot of ogres outside the city, and with the strengthening of the city's defenses, we must be careful about the possibility of those ogres escaping to other areas.

We need to go through reconnaissance before we can decide whether to move forward. If the road ahead is dangerous, we may have to plan for camping. "

"If that's the case, why don't we go back to East Wilder and wait till dawn tomorrow night?"

The messenger sent by Lordaeron was a civil servant, and compared to other people with fighting ability, he seemed more insecure.

However, after he said these words, before Li De could answer him, there was a sudden scream of killing from the mountains on both sides of the road. Almost in an instant, more than 200 bandits surrounded them!
