"That's the thing. Our target is the goblins. Supporting the wild boar people to resist the goblin colonization is part of our war with the goblins."
Shandris came to the Hanhai Protector this time not as a friend, but as an official envoy on behalf of the night elves.
Therefore, the venue for the conversation was relatively formal, in the small auditorium of the Language Institute in the academic area.
After listening to Li De's explanation, Shantis nodded understandingly. General Sentinel, who had experienced the ancient war, knew the horror of war.
"I hope your war can end quickly, and it is best not to let the war spread to the territory of the night elves."
Regarding Shandis's request, Li De could not guarantee her.
"The Wild Boars are not under the control of the Hanhai Protector, we are still in a cooperative relationship.
To be honest, I don’t know exactly how far those wild boars are armed. I just came back from the Kingdom Continent.”
"I know that you just completed a war in the Eastern Continent."
When she said this, Shandis' tone seemed a bit stiff, and she couldn't help but ask Li De.
"Ever since I met you, you have been running from war to war. Do you like war very much?"
Even through the mask, Li De could feel Shandis frowning.
"No one likes war, but some problems can only be solved through war."
Shandris seemed a little confused.
"But the Alliance and the Goblins don't necessarily have to solve their problems through war. They can sanction them through other means."
Li De shook his head and smiled. He did not answer Shandis's question and changed the topic.
"How did you come here this time? Or did you go by land?"
Realizing that Li De was avoiding his question, Shandis was a little angry and answered in a stiff tone.
"No, I came from Mount Hyjal on a hippogryph."
Li De is now extremely envious of the strategic resource of flying mounts.
As a member of the alliance, and with Li De's relationship with the Kurdran Wildhammer, it was only a matter of words for him to introduce the gryphon.
But the problem is that griffins are not suitable for long-distance transportation, and given the natural conditions protected by the Hanhai Protectorate, it is difficult to successfully raise griffins.
Even in this war against the goblins, the gryphon troops were unable to follow the main force of the first division. After all, gryphons are not giant dragons and do not have the ability to fly across the endless sea.
"That's right, I thought you came overland from Feras again."
The conversation was not congenial, causing the two of them to talk more and more dryly, making each other a little embarrassed.
Shandis stood up and said.
"Let's do this for today. I need to stay with you for a few days to understand the whole process of the matter. I will make an assessment and then report back to Mindo."
Li De smiled bitterly. It seemed that this conversation did not end happily, leaving him with the impression of a war madman.
But he didn't know how to explain it. To be precise, Li De found that if he explained it according to his true thoughts, he might really be a war madman according to the opponent's standards.
However, the moment Shandis stood up, Li De caught a glimpse of a small parasol hanging in Shandis' cloak, which was exactly the one he gave her last time.
Seeing this umbrella, Li De felt a little excited for some reason. He stood up and grabbed Shandis's hand.
"I welcome you to stay, and it will make up for your regret of leaving here in a hurry last time.
As for the question you just asked, please give me some time and I will answer you seriously."
Li De suddenly grabbed her hand, catching Shandis off guard. She subconsciously wanted to resist, but she relaxed her arm muscles in the next second.
Gently withdrawing her hand, Shandis coughed twice deliberately.
"I hope your answer can be accepted by me. The Kaldorei don't like people who create chaos and terror."
After finishing speaking, Shandis turned around to leave. Li De followed her on his way and caught up with the evening class students from the Language School arriving for class.
As the earliest college established in the college district, the Language College currently has the largest number of students here.
In other theological schools, history schools, art schools, engineering schools and architecture schools, relatively speaking, there are not so many students who meet the requirements.
Only language colleges have the strongest popularity. Night school students come from various industries such as administration, the military, and factories. They have their own jobs during the day and study at night. The newly learned foreign content can often be applied the next day.
in practice.
Li De took the initiative to introduce these to Shandis, and Yu Yue listened very carefully.
When the two of them walked to the gate of the college area, they met Bigwig, who was wearing a robe, glasses, and holding a book in his hand.
Although there are more colleges in the humanities field overall, Li De appointed Bigewitz, the dean of the School of Engineering, as the dean of the university.
"Good night, Protector. Are you going to have dinner with Ms. Shandis?"
Bigwitz glanced at Shandis, who was now beside Li De, and noticed that the other party was also paying attention to him. After bowing very gracefully, he asked politely.
Shandris was a little surprised that this goblin knew her name, but at the same time she didn't quite understand. The Alliance was at war with the goblins, so why could the goblins living in the Vast Sea Protector not only stay here, but also seem to be living a pretty good life?
Li De returned the favor with a smile and introduced him to Shandis.
"This is our Minister of Education and University Dean Bigewitz, he is the administrator of the entire college district.
Minister Bigwicz is also an amazing engineering guru who has supported each of our achievements."
Long before Van Cleef became independent from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Bigwitz took the lead in establishing a separate Ministry of Education.
After hearing this, Shandis looked at Bigwitz with a bit more admiration, but Bigwitz smiled modestly.
After a few pleasantries, Li De got down to business.
"Minister, I'm wondering if the college district should establish a new mathematics college?"
Hearing Li De say this, Bigwitz's eyes also lit up.
"We really should set up a school of mathematics. We really need a school of mathematics now. Engineering and architecture all require a certain amount of mathematical knowledge."
When the School of Engineering was established, it was actually a group of goblin engineers working together. For outstanding engineers, mathematics is a basic tool that must be mastered, so there is no need to popularize it.
But as time goes by, engineers have more and more students under their supervision, and sometimes even mathematics has to be taught from scratch.
It is also in line with the current actual situation to set up a separate college for mathematics.
"I'll draft a plan first and submit it to you later?"
After working together for such a long time, Biegelwitz became familiar with Li De's working habits.
"Okay, let's do this. You can give it to me later. I have a meeting tonight, and after the meeting I have to meet with the representatives of the wild boar people."
Bigwitz was convinced that more than half of the research in the School of Engineering was for the military, and Bigwitz had a close relationship with the military.
After bidding farewell to Bigwitz, Lid accompanied Shandis to dinner, personally sent her to the Gadgetzan Hotel, and then returned to the administrative area accompanied by guards.
As the scale of the Hanhai Protectorate increases, a clear administrative area is also necessary. Now meetings are no longer held on the top floor of the Gadgetzan Hotel. They are only held in Gadgetzan when some meetings with low confidentiality are held.
Kisson Hotel.
…
"Based on the current intelligence and the situation between us and the enemy, we have a quite strategic position in Tanaris and Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale.
But in fact, it is much more difficult for the goblins to capture us than it is for the Alliance to capture Booty Bay.
The goblins lack the ability to land on Tanaris and start a decisive battle with us. As long as we can ensure that we do not lose prematurely in the early naval battle, the victory of this war will belong to us."
At the military meeting, Niebuhr carefully made the following analysis. Lid and Kel'Thuzad looked at each other and nodded, because this was the same as their previous judgment.
According to their judgment, this war must be won. The first division was dispatched to Tanaris purely to provide insurance against dangerous goblin soldiers.
In this military meeting, the participants included Li De, Noggenfogg, Kel'Thuzad, Garin, Niebuhr, Madin Lei and Angagagu.
After the military meeting ended, the waiter filled everyone's glasses with water and cleared away the cigarette butts piled in the ashtray.
Niebuhr specifically reminded to open the windows for ventilation and fresh air.
During the military meeting just now, several people were puffing and puffing together, and the air in the room looked blue.
After all, we have guests to meet next, and it is always rude to smell too much smoke.
After receiving the consent from the conference room, Van Cleef walked in with two Razor Boar representatives.
To be honest, Li De couldn't tell the gender of the wild boar man based on his facial features alone.
It can only be said that the figure of a female quilboar can still be seen to some extent with some female characteristics. Other than that, there is a certain size difference between the two sexes.
The height of wild boar people is roughly similar to that of humans, but their weight is more than three times that of humans. This is because their bodies are too burly. Even if they are wrapped and protected by thick fat, you can still see the curves on their arms.
Knotted muscles.
Calgar Thornrib was only of average height, wearing a linen robe, and an ordinary-looking hemp rope belt around his waist, but Li De could feel that the knots of the hemp rope contained huge energy.
As for the other wild boar man, he looks like a woman in stature, but he is two heads taller than Li De. He stands out among the wild boar men.
This tall female wild boar looks much tougher than Calgar. She wears a very neat short combat skirt and has a large mirror panel ax on her waist.
But the most eye-catching thing is the two pairs of fangs sticking out of her lips, which are twice as big as Calgar's fangs and look particularly powerful and domineering.
Van Cleef introduced Li De. Needless to say, the first one was Calgar Thorn, and the second representative was Karnum Fang, who was also a heroic warrior!
This really surprised Li De. The ancient race was very talented. The Razor Boars alone had two heroic figures, so they should not be underestimated.
Li De took the initiative to reach out and shook the three-fingered hands of the two wild boar men, and then asked them to sit down and talk.
Calga looked at Li De curiously. The moment they shook hands, she felt the surging life force from Li De and immediately understood that he was a powerful warrior.
During the conversation, Li De could talk to them in fluent Troll language.
Li De was not in a hurry to say anything himself, and asked the other party to explain it first.
Of the two, Calga was obviously the main one. She told how since receiving the support of Chizhi from the Vast Sea Protector, she had used these supplies and weapons to organize a team of more than 5,000 wild boars from three groups!
This number is far beyond Li De's expectation, and from Calgar's tone, it seems that these five thousand people are only one-tenth of the wild boar people in the Barrens, and one percent of their population at its peak!
In just a barren land, hundreds of thousands of wild boar people are crowded at most. It is no wonder that large-scale wars will break out within their tribe every more than ten years. To put it bluntly, it is a means of consuming the population.
When he heard that Calgar led the army of five thousand quilboars to attack Razorfen, Li De shook his head inconspicuously.
As expected, there was no need for Li De to ask questions, and Calgar himself told the result of the battle in despair.
The armed quilboar, with 5,000 men, attacked the entrance to Razorfen guarded by only 200 men, but the result was quite tragic.
The weapons supported by the Vast Sea Protector are mainly cold weapons. This does not mean that Noggenfogg is stingy and unwilling to give good weapons to the quilboars.
They are really used to using sticks and rocks, so even if you give them powerful thermal weapons, the quilboars won't be able to use them.
As a result, these five thousand people armed with swords and spears were blocked by two hundred people using volley shooting tactics and mortars at the entrance of Razor Swamp, and they suffered more than two thousand casualties!
After this disastrous defeat, Calgar retreated to the northern part of the Barrens in embarrassment, but she did not give up. She decided to encourage more quilboars.
This time she went directly to the headquarters of the two major clans, Thornback and Steelmane, and encouraged them to follow her and drive away the goblins.
Calja dares to be so heroic because of her unusual identity. She is a high shaman who came out of the wild boar holy land. More importantly, she possesses a sacred object.
The wild boar people were born after the fall of the demigod Agamaggan. The image of Agamaggan is a wild boar as huge as a mountain. Its snout can collapse mountain peaks, and its fangs can tear apart towering trees. And its body
There are also dense and hard thorns growing there.
When Agamaggan died in the Barrens, its blood spilled out and turned into blood rock ore; tangled thorns grew where it fell, forming today's Razorfen and Razor Highlands.
What Calgar obtained at the deepest holy place in the Razor Highlands was a thorn vine that once grew on Agamaggan.
She wove the vine into a hemp rope and tied it around her waist.
Calgar, who possesses the holy relic, can respond to hundreds of calls among the divided wild boar people. Coupled with the meat cans and iron weapons of the Hanhai Protector, this time the momentum is so great that it exceeds 20,000 people!
It was Calgar's mobilization that caught the night elves' attention.
However, despite mobilizing so many people, Calga did not dare to act rashly. The last time the goblins' volley tactics left a big psychological shadow on her.
And how could these organized wild boar people not be afraid of the goblin colonists who had bullied them for several years?
It was precisely because of his hesitation about taking action that Calgar returned to the Protector of the Vast Sea, hoping to get valuable advice from the Protector of the Vast Sea.
What Calgar Thornrib and Karnum & Fang never expected was that Li De’s first words were:
"My suggestion is to cancel the operation and disband the team."
