Just five kilometers away from the abandoned Nest of Corruption, in the Faraki Mountains, a special team was quietly formed.
…
"Commander Brian, no one dares to compare with him in shooting ability."
After hearing the introduction of himself, Brian Bronzebeard, who had just finished target practice, blew on his muzzle smoke and twirled his beard proudly.
"Yes."
At this moment, Hiloma, who had gone out to collect information, returned. As she was getting off the tricycle and taking off her helmet, she was introduced to him.
"Do you want to know the knowledge of the Qiraji? Team member Shilomar, she is a walking dictionary."
Hiloma was a little shy due to the praise, but Kel'Thuzad and Yourong Yan were also taking off their helmets.
The introducer looked at the beautiful Kel'Thuzad and deliberately made a joke to him.
"Member Kel'Thuzad is a mage who makes delicious bread..."
The young magister smiled and waved in response to the joke, and then his eyes fell on a woman who was writing notes at her desk.
The introducer was a little embarrassed, because he was not familiar with it before, so he couldn't quite remember the name of the female team member.
"This...I guess it may be the female priest Anita."
Finally, when Jack's eyes fell on him, Buck introduced himself confidently.
"I am a dragon! A red dragon! I am also the captain of the special operations team! Including you, Team Jack, there are six people here in total."
"No, it's seven people~"
Nix put his head in from the door with a high-pitched voice, and Buck Romworth said helplessly.
"Mechanic Nix is responsible for the team's equipment work."
Looking at his comrades in the same team, Jack suddenly felt that he was not special among them.
Several teammates have extraordinary powers. Even the female priest Anita, who currently has the least presence, has some quite high attainments in the path of Holy Light and is expected to become the first female bishop of the Kingdom of Stormwind.
After confirming that all the team members were in place, Buckromworth held the first operational meeting after the establishment of the special operations team.
"The animal that attacked Gadgetzan is no longer an ordinary monster, but a transformation of the ancient gods. It is a super monster or can be simply called..."
"Super beast."
Jack answered quickly.
Buck nodded in approval.
"The new enemies are far more powerful than the past. We gather here to form a special force because we all have the experience and ability to fight against shadows, Zergs, and monsters.
Jack, you have encountered monsters at close range and had spiritual communication with the giant of light who killed the monsters.
Although the Giant of Light left after killing Sentilos, you were resurrected by accepting the power of the Giant, and you have a stronger power of Holy Light. I believe you can play an important role in the subsequent battles.
"
Jack immediately became energetic and had infinite fighting spirit in his heart, but he was also struggling with whether to confess the fact that he was the Giant of Light.
Just as Jack was struggling, Buck continued.
"According to existing information, the new super beasts of the Hazari tribe are closely related to the faceless men lurking in Gadgetzan.
What we have to do next is to investigate the secrets, defeat the faceless men and super beasts, and ensure the safety of the city and the United Conference.
Assign tasks below:
Brian Bronzebeard, fly patrol with me to guard against enemy attacks.
Shiloma, investigate the abandoned insect nest and analyze the samples of super beasts.
Kel'Thuzad, investigate Gadgetzan and search for clues about the Faceless Men.
Jack, assisting Kel'Thuzad.
Anita is responsible for internal coordination and liaison with superior leaders.
The assignment is completed and the task will be carried out from now on."
Jack questioned this arrangement.
"Captain, why don't I have a separate mission?"
Buck knew that this high-spirited young man misunderstood that he despised him.
"Brian doesn't have a solo mission either... This mission is not assigned to you casually. Surveying urban residential areas is not an easy task. I know you have a very good mass base. You must learn to make good use of it... Okay, execute
Give the order!"
Buck's tone was unquestionable, and Jack tensed up instinctively.
"yes!"
Kel'Thuzad looked at Buck with approval. The red dragon captain had learned a lot from Li De.
It's just that the magister doesn't know that when he looks at others, he is also being looked at by others.
Jack looked at Kel'Thuzad with a scrutinizing gaze. Speaking of this magister, he was actually a very low-key and mysterious existence in the Alliance army.
Because he does not directly command the troops, and is not as famous as Antonidas, Khadgar and Ansrem in terms of fame and strength, many frontline officers and soldiers do not recognize him.
'I carried out this mission, and the captain gave a very good reason. Why is this magister?'
Just when Jack was curious, Kel'Thuzad took out a gorgeous staff from his arms.
The mage looked at the stunned paladin and asked an irrelevant question.
"Can you... know how to ride a motorcycle?"
…
Half an hour before the joint meeting on the seventh day began, Li De was in the lounge next to the general hall, listening to Nogfogg's report on the previous day's meeting.
"Mount Hyjal abides by the agreement and withdrew all the troops from Kezan yesterday. It was decided to establish the Fel Energy Research Institute and clean up the corruption of Azerite, and then discussed the specific distribution of benefits. It was at
Regarding this matter, Hot Sand seemed a little unhappy in the end."
When Nogfogg said this, Li De couldn't help but laugh.
"It's crazy if Hotsand can be happy. The Evil Energy Research Institute is set up here, and the key data and core theories are also ours; the rich mining area that produces Kaya crystal is in the hands of Mogul; the order for the production of precision machinery is given to
Rudolfons.
On the other hand, Hot Sand has been planning for so long. In addition to obtaining the status of a legal warlock, most of the actual benefits have been divided by us. The troops under his command also face the problem of identity registration and reorganization."
When it comes to the reorganization of Kezan Warlocks, Noggenfogg still complains.
"There is no way not to reorganize. The batch of warlocks transformed by Hot Sand are more disorderly than the last. They only know how to delve into destructive spells, but their control of energy is a mess.
I thought that with such a large team, the work of cleaning up the Shadow Corruption would be very fast.
Now it seems that just training them to control energy will take a lot of time, which will actually slow down the progress of the early work.
The most damning thing is, I can imagine that there will definitely be people who don’t accept the adaptation and will be criticized for it, or they will violate it in disguise.”
Noggenfogg frowned when he thought about the difficulty in starting the work.
Li De enlightened him.
"So some things cannot be done recklessly. The person who ties the bell needs to be untied. The release will give Rongsha some benefits, and he will naturally help us solve the problem. As long as Rongsha cooperates with the work, no matter how chaotic it is down there, it will not be a mess."
Noggenfogg's expression looked like he couldn't laugh or cry.
"There is no use in giving benefits. We should think about it for him. During the small meetings in various regions between the conference yesterday, he took the initiative to ask us to increase his investment and further follow up the technology to expand the scope of his spinning mill.
scale."
Li De couldn't help but laugh.
"Then there will be nothing to worry about. All our money has been spent. If there is another problem, Rongsha should use other people's money to help others solve the problem.
No wonder I saw this guy seemed to be in a good mood in the public rest area in the morning, it turned out to be this reason."
Noggenfogg shook his head.
"No, there is another reason for his good mood.
To be honest, I was surprised by what happened yesterday: Gilneas’ representative, Blackmoore, promised that the price of cotton raw materials would not rise in the next phase of international trade.”
Li De sat up straight in surprise. At present, the major cotton-producing regions in the world have suffered from a sharp reduction in cotton production due to different reasons. Now only Gilneas can supply raw materials with guaranteed quality and quantity.
In this decisive seller's market, they actually promised not to raise prices?!
"What kind of trick are they up to?"
We can't blame Li De for thinking too badly of Gilneas and Blackmoore. It's really because of what they did in the past that it's hard for people to think well of them.
"I don't know, maybe they want to improve Gilneas's national image. Their move has indeed gained the favor of many countries.
This incident has little impact on us overall. I think what we need to pay attention to is the following: Lordaeron plans to increase the price."
There is no need to specify what kind of product it is. In this era, Lordaeron is synonymous with food.
With the increasingly frequent exchanges between countries around the world, Lordaeron has almost become the world's breadbasket. The East Wilder region is the most fertile land in the known world. Its annual food production ranks first in the world, and far exceeds the second in the world.
Kingdom of Stormwind.
Lordaeron's food accounts for more than half of the market share. It can be said that Lordaeron has absolute pricing power. How could it not raise prices under such circumstances? It is abnormal to do what Gilneas did.
"This is something I have thought of for a long time. I just don't know whether the price increase in Lordaeron is normal or targeted?"
Li De asked, and Nogfogger answered carefully.
"I can't tell you. When we were most nervous a while ago, we asked Lordaeron for help. King Terenas' attitude was a bit ambiguous, and..."
Seeing the way Nogfogg hesitated to speak, Li De wanted to laugh a little.
"Come on, there are only two of us here, why are you hesitating like this?"
Noggenfogg then said confidently and boldly.
"To be honest, we are not a purely racial country. We are too different and too active in the Human Alliance, which will inevitably cause some people to dislike it... You should have agreed to the marriage proposed by King Terenas before.
."
"Ha~"
Li De laughed dumbly and looked at Nogfogg with a playful expression.
"Is this your opinion alone? Or do many people think so?"
Nogfogg felt his palms were a little sweaty, so he said bravely.
"This is just my immature opinion."
Li De was noncommittal, but he didn't want to pursue it too closely.
"It's impossible. We do have hidden conflicts with other countries in the alliance, and this conflict is not superficial, it goes deep into the fabric, five organs, and even the soul.
When this conflict completely breaks out in the future, it will be as violent as earth-shaking. By then, it will not be able to be eased by just in-law relations, and marriage will be meaningless."
Li De settled the matter, and Nogfogg found that his back was already soaked.
"Let's not talk about this. It's too early to mention conflicts at the moment. The main tone of the current world is cooperation. The establishment of special forces is a kind of cooperation between countries. Countries can establish an identity and have enemies that they can unanimously fight against.
"
This is true. The special operations team seems to have only six official members, but the six members are from different countries:
Buckromworth has the dual identity of the Red Dragon and the Protector of the Vast Sea, Brian Bronzebeard is from Ironforge, Shilomar is from Kaldorei, Kel'Thuzad is from Dalaran, Anita is from Stormwind Kingdom, and Jack is also from
He has the dual identities of Lordaeron and Alterac.
"Speaking of which, the special operations team has been officially established starting today. I hope they can fulfill their mission and live up to expectations."
Li De said hopefully, and at this moment there was a knock on the door outside.
"Protector, Minister Nogfogg, the conference is about to begin."
Li De put out his cigarette butt and stood up from his seat, and Nogfogg quickly followed suit.
