Alas, McDonald's doesn't understand anything about the cardamom years.
He only knows that people, most of the time, are large double-standard monsters. He can covet other white hairs, but it is not okay for others to covet his little princess.
The doting written all over a certain emperor's face left his vassals speechless.
On the other hand, fortunately, Mr. Mai has the face of a father-in-law, and he gave birth to three half-elf princesses in one breath, so he had no one to guide them. This saved the vassals a lot of trouble.
After all, if the first illegitimate child is a half-elf, the vassals will jump in. This will be a big trouble for the inheritance of the newly established empire.
The three Windrunner sisters miraculously gave birth to three little princesses and successfully evaded lightning. They were also aware of the conflicts that might arise. They brought a group of elf girls with them, and they were hesitant when they met McDonald.
Here, Kalia had no choice but to say that she could only accept having children after marriage. As a result, Mai, who was miserable, could only find his own mount to increase his favorability.
This is another story.
As the date of his accession to the throne approaches, Stratholme becomes more and more lively.
In the past, unless it was the leader of the alliance, no one could use the teleportation circle in Stratholme City.
Therefore, foreign guests who were quite distinguished and did not reach the level of leaders could only be teleported to Kaolin City.
This city that originally did not exist in the history of Azeroth. Although the current city lord Rivendell tried hard to keep a straight face, he was still meticulous in his work and closely inspected every visitor who passed through Corrin City, but the joy on his brows could not be ignored.
Covered.
It is said that the fiefdoms of the Stratholme bosses will not be revealed until the last moment. The map of Borean Tundra sent by McDonken sent Lor'themar has already revealed the answer.
From being a little baron who was almost ignored in the aristocratic hierarchy, Rivendell has achieved a three-level jump in life and family. Rivendell is the winner of life in the eyes of everyone in Stratholme and even the entire alliance.
Everyone knows that the fiefdoms in Stratholme are different from traditional fiefdoms: in other countries' fiefdoms, as long as they fulfill their obligations in foreign wars, the king and his vassals can do whatever they want in their own territory; here, MacDonald's is a political, economic and military fiefdom.
All power was handed over to the emperor, and the vassals only had legal immunity, the right to form private guards, and territorial dividends, which seemed to be very few rights.
In terms of power alone, the nobles of Stratholme are undoubtedly the most miserable among the seven human kingdoms.
But the income of the nobles of other countries is not even a fraction of that of the Stratholme nobles.
What about high-yielding crops, mechanized planting, efficient transportation, road access to finance, and national uniform weapons to save logistics costs... What McDonald's is playing is simply not something that the backward thinking model of the traditional aristocrats can understand.
They only know that they are doing a hundred times better than their ancestors, and that is enough.
The confidence brought by status, glory and huge wealth made Rivendell straighten his back and face every guest with a smile.
One day at the end of September, he received two very special guests, tribal representatives, the tauren chief Cairn Bloodhoof and his son Baine.
"On behalf of the tribe, I, Kane Bloodhoof, would like to extend my most sincere blessings to the establishment of the Stratholme Empire." Kane bowed slightly and saluted. He did not want to say such formal words, this is not his style. He was helpless.
On the one hand, he represents the tribe, and on the other hand, his friend Hamuul Rune Totem advises him to show more kindness to McDonald.
Listening to Brother Niu's slurred human common language, Rivendell smiled slightly and spoke fluent Tauren language, which frightened Kane for a moment.
"On behalf of His Majesty Stratholme, I, Duke Oryx Rivendell, would like to thank Chief Bloodhoof for his blessing. The residence for you and your entourage has been arranged. I wonder if the chief will go to the residence to make arrangements first, or just take a stroll first.
Shopping? If you are in a hurry to see His Majesty, I can also make arrangements for you, and you can see him as soon as tomorrow morning."
The tauren chief nodded: "We have more people, so let's go to the station first."
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
The relationship between the Alliance and the Horde was just a thin line away from the start of the war, and Kane had no intention of getting any good treatment.
A group of one hundred people from the tribe, escorted by five hundred Stratholme guards, arrived at the station. Kane was stunned for a moment.
What a beautiful piece of grass.
It is backed by a mountain in the south, with a pine forest on the side of the mountain, a small lake in the east, and vast grasslands on the other two sides. This scenery is very similar to Mogolei where the tauren live.
Not so primitive and rough, but a bit more quiet and gentle.
No tauren can refuse such a beautiful grassland.
This is not some wild land, this is the core hinterland of the Stratholme Empire, and every inch of the land is precious. At a time when the entire territory is undergoing large-scale industrialization, Kane can't hide the surprise on his face that such land is still preserved.
He would never forget the high walls he saw every five to ten kilometers after leaving Kaolin City.
Those high defensive walls and turrets divide the entire territory, and the defensive power is insanely high.
This plateau is reached after entering a high wall and walking for three kilometers. The green grassy hills cover the industrialized towns in the distance very well.
"This is……"
"This is the territory of the Windrunner family. Perhaps the chief also knows that the three Windrunner sisters have a unique status in our empire. In the past, this was the fiefdom of Earl Lilas Windrunner. Now that the Earl has transferred it, it is the three Windrunners.
This is Your Excellency's fiefdom. This time it was specially lent to the distinguished guests to rest."
Looking at the brand new tents set up in the style of the tauren and the thoughtfully prepared kodo enclosures, Kane knew that this kind of homely approach was truly a courtesy to their tauren.
Kane couldn't help but feel a bitter taste in his mouth. Now the Tauren clan is doing even worse in the tribe.
If the famine that year was triggered by the tauren's acceptance of McDonald's support, the current conflict between the tauren and the orcs is the main cause.
Last year, the Scourge Legion went on a rampage, resulting in a rapid decrease in prey in several major territories of the tribe.
When there was not enough food, many orc clans ran to the Mulgore area in order to survive. They arbitrarily snatched prey from the tauren and occupied the tauren's hunting grounds and even villages. As a result, many armed fights broke out.
Kane went to Thrall to reason, but Thrall just ordered these clans to go away.
These old-fashioned orc clans from the outer lands have gone back, but in the Desolate Land and the Barrens next door, how can the land in Mulgore be as fertile? The quality and quantity of prey are not of the same level.
These days, orcs have been poaching frequently. The tauren patrol team found that they could not really kill these orcs.
