Below the ancient city of Petra, after listening to Li De's idea, Brian Bronzebeard twirled his beard and tilted his head, not commenting on the idea proposed by Li De.
Muradin, the most sincere of the three Bronzebeard brothers, told Li De very frankly.
"Although dwarves are very good at digging and digging, I'm afraid I can only say sorry about this. Apart from mining ores, dwarves are really not interested in digging mountains on the ground, and they have to travel to another continent...
Sorry, Protector Li De, this is different from exchanging ore for our long-haired argali. I think it is difficult to achieve your idea in a business way. Of course, for the sake of our friendship, we can also mobilize some of them in the name of Brother Bronzebeard.
Dwarves are here to help you."
Muradin's words are very clear. Even the dwarves don't like excavations that have no profit at all. Moreover, Tanaris is too far away, and it is estimated that not many dwarves will be willing to come even if they spend money.
Li De did not feel disappointed by Muradin's words. On the contrary, it also made him deeply aware of Muradin's kindness. However, Li De felt that it was better to forget Muradin's suggestions. This recognition was too great, and it was not
necessary.
"Guardian Li De, let's not talk about digging mountain roads for now. I am very interested in the ancient city of Petra. It has the power to transform the soil of an entire desert. I believe there is more inside it.
There are many secrets that I don’t know, and I hope you can allow me to enter the ancient city for archaeology.”
The ancient city of Petra is more appropriately said to be a ruins rising from the ground. What’s amazing is that since the ancient city of Petra appeared, it seems strange to say that it has a magical power that refuses people to enter the ruins.
, resulting in people having to cultivate land and dig wells around the ruins.
"Ah, I'm sorry, we have no plans to open the ruins of the ancient city in the short term. But if you are willing to do archeology, there are too many valuable monuments in Kalimdor. For example, as I know, the ancient elf city Ereshara
"
"Where are you talking about? Erethalas?"
After hearing this name, Brian's eyes suddenly lit up, and it was as if even the ancient city of Petra had been forgotten by him.
It’s no wonder that Brian acted so exaggeratedly, it’s because ‘Eretharas’ is too famous.
This was the heyday of the Night Elf Empire in history, and it was a great city that ranked among the top three in terms of prosperity.
A top-level urban ruin with clear historical records is definitely more attractive to adventurers and archaeologists than the little-known ancient city of Petra.
Of course, Brian Bronzebeard is not an ordinary archaeologist, and he has an equally high opinion of the ancient city of Petra.
But as the leader of the Explorers Association, he also knew that for adventurers who had never been to Kalimdor, the gimmick of Elre'Thalas must be much greater and could attract more adventurers.
Generally speaking, adventurers who discover ruins worth exploring are not willing to share them with others. However, it also depends on the specific situation. For example, some particularly large ruins can only be solved faster by attracting more outstanding adventurers.
The secret inside.
"There is a stone tablet stored in the Explorers Association, which records the existence of the city of Ere'Thalas.
Later, we went to Yongsong Forest and visited Yongsong Forest, and got confirmation from high elf scholars.
Does Protector Li De know where this city is?"
Brian is very smart. He has already guessed that this city is related to another thing Li De said.
"The ancient city of Ere'Thalas sleeps in Feralas in the west, separated from Tanaris by the dangerous Thousand Needles.
The Hanhai Protectorate is now planning to open a road that bypasses the Thousand Needles Stone Forest from above, so that it can reach Feralas smoothly and safely.
The first step in building this road is to carve out the mountain behind Zul'Farrak so that we can take the main road to reach the dark side of Zul'Farrak."
Simply speaking, people would not be interested in cutting through a mountain and carving out a wide mountain road. But if this road is related to archeology and exploration, the dwarves can instantly become interested.
"Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Muradin and Brian changed their faces at that time, and the speed of change caught Li De off guard.
"Don't worry, you two. Let me introduce you to a few people who are specifically responsible for this matter."
The person responsible for connecting with the dwarves is a three-person decision-making team, headed by Lao Chen.
Old Chen's sudden appearance in Ironforge made him very popular in the entire dwarven society. His identity as a dragon whisperer also made him a legend in the Explorers Association.
It's just that except for Lao Chen, the other two are a human and a goblin, so the dwarf brothers are not very familiar with them.
"Let me introduce you to both of you. This is Edwin Van Cleef, the director of the 'Hanhai Protectorate Geographic Survey and Statistics Bureau'. He will be responsible for the survey work in this development project."
Both the Resistance Camp and the Dust Mud Camp have been initially established. Martin Ray is now in charge of these two camps, while Van Cleef has secretly left an intelligence station there.
Now that the Zul Cliff Highlands are being developed, Van Cleef has to lead his people at the forefront. In this way, it can be said that the entire north and south sides of the Thousand Needles Stone Forest are all included in Van Cleef's jurisdiction.
"This is Bigwitz, our engineering dean. Dean Bigwitz is in charge of the technical aspects of this project."
The Hanhai Protectorate has provided a team of personnel, which can be said to have taken care of all aspects. The Bronzebeard brothers are also relieved and full of confidence in this cooperation.
After a brief discussion, the two brothers decided that Brian would stay in the Vast Sea Protectorate to inspect the situation in the northern mountains of Zul'Farrak, while Muradin returned to Ironforge through the portal and summoned explorers and miners to the Vast Sea Governorate.
After settling the matter, Li De handed over the place to Lao Chen and the others, while he himself went to hold a military meeting with Dai Lin.
After the Kul Tiras fleet arrived here, it marked the official start of a full-scale war between the alliance and Kezan, and the western theater on the continent of Kalimdor was also officially established.
As the main force against the goblins, the leader of the fleet, Daelin, was appointed by Terenas as the commander of the western theater, mainly responsible for fighting the goblins at sea.
Li De was appointed as the deputy commander of the theater, mainly responsible for containing the ground forces of enemies such as Ratchet City on land.
And at this routine military meeting, the Alliance received important information from the "Han Bureau" and discovered a large number of ogres in Dustwallow Swamp! They seem to have been bribed by the goblins and are heading towards the Barrens.
The local movement dealt with the local rebellious quilboar armed forces.
Because the number of these ogres was too large, reaching an astonishing three thousand people, the garrison forces at the Dust Mud Camp did not conflict with them and could only pass the information back to the rear.
"Three thousand ogres..."
This number is enough to attract Li De's attention. In his opinion, ogres are more dangerous than orcs. These ogres are stronger than orcs and have better adaptability to the environment than orcs. The most important thing is that they are more dangerous than orcs.
Orcs are more cruel and inhumane.
If the ogre has any shortcomings, it can only be its low intelligence. But even this shortcoming is made up for by the special two-headed ogre.
The destructive power of three thousand ogres is unimaginable. Li Deke has not forgotten that in Alterac, two thousand ogres could push a country to a desperate state.
If Lothar hadn't led troops into Alterac later, the consequences would have been disastrous.
But Li De didn't know how such a large troll team traveled from the Kingdom Continent to Kalimdor? But when he thought that he could also travel to Tanaris with a ship, maybe this
The ogre also had a similar experience.
It's just that I and others arrived at Tanaris, but these ogres hid in Dustwallow Marsh.
And to be honest, how this group of ogres got to Kalimdor is not important now. What is important is what role this group of ogres will play in the next war.
Li De did not think that the Kezan goblins hired these ogres just to deal with the wild boar people. Now Li De already knew that from the Razor Highlands where the wild boar people live, you can directly enter Thousand Needles.
At the same time, the venture capital company seems to have mastered a technology that can evade beasts and elements.
