To be honest, Li De didn't expect Kul Tiras to be so big.
He once thought that Kul Tiras might be similar in area to Kezan. But after arriving here, he found that even if its land area was not as large as Zandalar, it was still wider than the East Wilder region.
If we have to say that there is something inferior to Zandalar in terms of natural endowment, it is that Kul Tiras is not a complete land mass connected together, but consists of Tigalad, Drustvar, and Stormsong Valley.
It consists of these three main islands, plus a dozen smaller islands.
The three large islands are managed by the three major families except Proudmoore, and a string of islands arranged in the strait between Tigalad and Stormsong Valley is the center of Kul Tiras.
.
The capital of Kul Tiras was established here: Boralus. The person in charge of this city is the Proudmoore family.
Boralus is a complete maritime city. It is divided into more than a dozen areas by small islands as you look at it. They are connected into a complete city by bridges and large sea ships.
Because it is an island city, the houses in Boralus are relatively small. They are built as high as possible, and as far as the eye can see are spire-shaped houses.
Although it is small, it is exquisite enough. It seems that because it is rich in malachite mines, the roofs are painted a beautiful emerald green. This was Li De's first impression of this city.
The fleet has completed docking at Boralus Pier, and dockworkers have been prepared long ago to begin unloading goods from the ship. The yarns are currently stored in the port's warehouse.
Standing on the boat at the pier, you can see the Huifan Market next door. For this first batch of goods, Dai Lin wants to put a small amount in the domestic market first, and more will be sold to the Kingdom Continent.
Dai Lin's wife, Ms. Catherine, accompanied the principals of the other three companies to inspect the goods. They passed through the busy dock workers, looked here and touched here in the cargo pile, and occasionally exchanged words in low voices during the process.
Sentence, expressing affirmation of the goods.
Under Dai Lin's introduction, Li De greeted everyone and then quietly motioned to Dai Lin to talk to him in a relatively quiet place outside.
In addition to inspecting the local situation in Kul Tiras, Li De also had another important thing to do, which was to pick up the prisoners previously held here.
After setting off from Zandalar, Li De and the others first captured a group of deserters led by Cho'gall, and later captured members of the Black Teeth Smiling Clan on Tidefall Island.
At that time, due to the rush, after a simple interrogation and the collection of belongings, these prisoners were all packed and sent to Kul Tiras, so much so that when these prisoners disembarked from the Boralus Pier, there was a huge uproar.
A small onlooker.
Now that the war is over, the Alliance is discussing the disposal of all prisoners. Due to considerations on some issues, Li De and Dai Lin decided to escort these guys to Lordaeron.
After many deductions, Li De finally had no choice but to come to the same conclusion: the Alliance could not properly deal with these prisoners no matter what, and the escape of Orgrim and a group of tribal leaders was inevitable.
After the war, the Alliance went through a series of projects such as building a number of prisoner-of-war camps, rebuilding the Kingdom of Stormwind, and building Watchfort.
In the later stages, countries like Gilneas and Stromgarde, which were already weak, could no longer hold on. Not to mention them, they had spent huge amounts of gold coins without getting anything in return, and both Dalaran and Lordaeron were a little overwhelmed.
live.
Without a strong economic foundation to back it up, it is inevitable that prisoner-of-war camps will be poorly managed. Those orc soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit can be said to be nothing more than waiting to die from long-term torture, but those strong-willed tribal leaders almost all escape without exception.
Already.
When the Horde first invaded Azeroth with an army of more than 70,000, 30,000 to 40,000 died on the battlefield, and 20,000 were captured. This means that there are at least 10,000 orcs scattered in the wild.
What to do with so many orcs? If they are scattered around, there will definitely be endless troubles.
So Li De thought, since it is inevitable for the tribe's top leaders to flee in the future, why not use this matter to make some arrangements in advance? Everything has two sides, and as long as the inner rules can be discovered and utilized, bad things can turn into good things.
If one day in the future, these tribal leaders successfully escape, then with the prestige of these guys, the Alliance can completely give up some worthless wilderness or mountains and deliberately make noise to lure the orcs scattered in the wild to defect.
Gathering as many orcs as possible is better than playing hide-and-seek with small groups of orcs scattered around. It will also help to complete the unified elimination of these orcs in the future.
To be honest, the risk of doing this is still very high. The high-level tribes led by Orgrim are extremely dangerous elements in themselves. If they gather the scattered orcs into a large army, they will definitely become a big problem again.
If Li De could be allowed to make the decision, the most ideal solution would be to execute these guys directly. However, Terenas has already set a general direction of not killing prisoners. Antonidas hopes to study evil energy to deal with the next crisis, so he also does his best.
Support Terenas.
It's not that Li De didn't think about getting involved in the supervision of the tribe's senior officials, but Li De thought that he didn't have the ability to suppress them all.
And there is another important factor. From a political point of view, the status of the tribe's senior leaders is comparable to that of the alliance's senior leaders. The captured tribal leaders can only be handled by the alliance's senior leaders, and intervening in this matter as Li De is considered overstepping.
In fact, Orgrim was not locked up in a prisoner of war camp, he escaped from his cell in Lordaeron.
At present, Li De is not able to break this outdated old rule, so he can only accept it and come up with such a weird strategy to remedy it.
The two brothers Cho'gall and Blacktooth Grinning are mentioned today because they hope to restrict Orgrim in the future and prevent him from losing his tail.
Cho'gall is the leader of the Twilight's Hammer, and those cultists have never been loyal to the tribe. Even during the Second War, Cho'gall often secretly preached to the orcs of other clans.
If the Orgrim family escapes in the future, releasing this cult leader will also play a diversionary role in diverting the orcs scattered around.
As for Red and Maimu, these two are even more heavyweights.
They are the descendants of the former Great Chief Blackhand, and they have always been dissatisfied with Orgrim for killing their father to seize power. Once given the opportunity, they will definitely be the first to jump out and oppose Orgrim.
In fact, this is what they did. In the original history, they successfully escaped from the naval battle on Chaoluo Island.
After Orgrim was captured in the Battle of Blackstone Mountain, the two men secretly took people back to Blackstone Mountain, gathered a group of orc deserters, and added their original troops to establish a new tribe, negating the control of Orgrim during the period.
The leader of the tribe.
After being taken out of the cell, the sunlight outside made Gujar subconsciously close his eyes for three times. After a while, he reluctantly opened his eyes and saw Li De who was observing him.
When he saw Li De, Gujar subconsciously wanted to pounce on him, but the chains and reason on his body made him give up the idea.
If we want to name the person he hates most now, the one Gugall hates the most is Li De, followed by Niebuhr who cast a spell on him. After being deprived of the ability to cast spells, during the past few months in the cell, Gugall
Keep trying to unlock the spell on your body.
The final result must be in vain. The curse of the troll is a system that Cho'gall has never been exposed to. Even if he is a master of curses, it is impossible to undo the dozens of curses that Niebuhr used on him using extremely cumbersome techniques.
curse.
Deprived of his ability to cast spells, Cho'gall was unable to sense the presence of shadows, which also prevented him from hearing the calls of the Old Gods.
The Ancient God is Cho'gall's spiritual support. Cho'gall, who could not hear the whispers of the ancient god, fell into mania. He was trying to solve the curse every day, and after repeated failures, he finally hit the wall like crazy.
, the two heads will also fight with each other, which also caused Red and Maim in the next cell to laugh mercilessly.
"What else do you want to do..."
"Haven't I been hurt badly enough by you?"
The depressed Gujar could still maintain the good habit of speaking with two heads. Li De smiled and nodded.
"You're talking reasonably well, and it seems like you're doing okay in the cell. Don't worry, your good days are coming, and we're going to send you to a place that's much more comfortable than this."
Li De's words made Gu Jiaer misunderstood.
"You finally decided..."
"Are you going to kill us?"
Knowing that this guy had misunderstood, Li De didn't bother to explain to him. He motioned for someone to take him to the boat, and then looked at the two brothers who came out from behind.
Unlike Cho'gall, these two guys did not believe in the ancient gods, and the time they spent in prison allowed them to calm down from the madness of demon blood and eat prison food for a few months.
He actually got fucking fat.
"You two are really doing well."
Li De didn't even know what to say. Now he was starting to question whether his plan would go smoothly. Can these two guys really check and balance Orgrim in the future?
The two brothers did not reply like Gujar, but put on a posture of preferring death to surrender, looked askance at Li De, and strode past Li De with their heads held high.
Li De was so angry that he really wanted to give them two blows. What's so magical about the captives?! If you have such guts, don't raise the white flag! If you have the guts, learn from Gu Jial and don't make yourself so fat!
