Everyone knows that Stranglethorn Valley is a big piece of meat. The land here is fertile and the climate is hot. If it is properly transformed, it has the opportunity to become a granary like the fertile wilderness in the west.
If Stranglethorn Valley can be used to solve the food problem, then more fields in the fertile western wilderness can be converted to cotton.
The temperate continental climate has hot summers, abundant sunlight, and a large temperature difference between day and night, which is just suitable for the growth requirements of cotton. The natural conditions for cotton production in Central Asia are mainly related to the temperate continental climate there.
Cotton is the hard currency in the Alliance. Since the leaders signed the draft plan to conquer the Lich King, the Alliance has raised funds from various countries to prepare for the Northern Expedition to Northrend. One of the most important items is the reserve of cotton clothes.
Whoever can supply more cotton will get a larger share of the funds.
Today, cotton is grown throughout the Alliance, in Hillsbrad Foothills and Westfall, and in Stormsong Valley in Kul Tiras, but the output is small.
Varian, who had just become king, was driven mad by his nobles because of his poverty.
Here, when Bolvar mentioned that "risks and benefits are the same," Varian understood clearly.
In addition to the Stratholme Federation, every country has its own difficulties. If the Kingdom of Stormwind monopolizes the interests of Stranglethorn Vale, then if anything happens to the Gurubashi trolls, the Kingdom of Stormwind will have to deal with it alone.
This approach is very disloyal.
Once things were put together, Varian agreed.
This is also true in history. In the early days, Varian had a very bad temper and made all kinds of small mistakes. He was never a perfect king, but he was the most flesh-and-blood one. He knew his mistakes and was able to correct them, which was one of his greatest characteristics.
So, a WeChat group, ah, a less formal leader-level meeting was held.
Everyone has initially settled on a huge [timber purchase agreement].
It is estimated that the Stratholme Federation needs 2 million tons of wood as sleepers for train tracks.
This is a practical need.
When Macdonken built the railway in the Tanaris Desert and the Barrens, the biggest shortage was not steel, but high-quality wood for sleepers.
Due to the presence of the night elves, the Alliance cannot source materials from Ashenvale, which has the most and best wood.
Most of the early wood was taken from the Dustwallow Swamp. The problem is that the quality of the wood there is not good. It is best to use pine for sleepers. The swamp does not produce pine wood, so the early wood can only be said to be makeshift.
Now that the strategy is shrinking, most of the railway tracks that have been left behind need to be re-paved.
This is a very reasonable list.
The sponsor's father placed an order, and naturally a group of younger brothers followed.
It was probably the Stormwind Kingdom and Gilneas who were responsible for clearing the area, and then the dwarves purchased the iron ore from the Bronzebeard dwarves and used the technology analyzed from the newly collected goblin wood saws to create [engineering Zaku] to cut wood, which was used by the Kul Tiras fleet.
After being transported across the sea, the night elf druids were responsible for replanting saplings on the cleared forest land.
Well, it sounds quite harmonious, right?
In actual operation, the things to be faced are much more troublesome.
Stranglethorn Valley has a tropical rainforest climate that cannot be set on fire. Even if you drive the [Zaku] to cut trees, you can't say it is absolutely safe.
How to clean up the trolls that are scattered all over Stranglethorn Valley and hiding in caves of all sizes is a very big problem.
On this day in late October, a group of strange trolls suddenly appeared on an originally deserted island in the west of Stranglethorn Vale near Grom High School.
They were immediately surrounded by the Alliance who were on alert nearby, and with just a few seconds left, the two sides started fighting.
However, soon, alliance soldiers escorted these strange trolls to this rebuilt transit place.
After receiving orders from Duke Bolvar Fordragon, these trolls were able to voice their opinions to the soldiers of the Kingdom of Stormwind, as well as the private soldiers of various nobles, as well as the people hired here.
A troll named [Passing Dog] spoke a strange human common language: "We are the peace-loving Zandalari trolls! We are not the same as the evil trolls of Zul'Gurub in Stranglethorn Vale.
Tribe. They are degenerates brainwashed by the evil god Hakkar."
This rhetoric is of no use to human beings.
The words of another Zandalari troll [Xianyu] made these people excited instantly: "In order to unite all forces and defeat the evil Hakkar, we swear by the glory of the Zandalari trolls that every person who defeats the evil giant will
All the devil’s warriors will be rewarded.”
After that, a huge banner was opened, which read the purchase price of coins belonging to the Zul'Gurub trolls such as [Gurubashi], [Hakkari], etc., with an average of 20 silver coins per troll coin.
This price alone has far exceeded the alliance's purchase price.
Also, coins can be exchanged for equipment.
For a long time, the best equipment in the Alliance has been monopolized by the Alliance Heroes.
No organization can have too much of the best equipment.
Except for the Knights of the Silver Hand, which is composed of all paladins, and is a bit richer, other organizations are miserable. Not to mention the blue ocean clothing, which is mainly high-quality, the mainstream nowadays is environmentally friendly clothing that is all excellent quality.
When a troll named [Drunken Bird] took out a [Stable Bracer], it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"We Zandalari trolls only respect true warriors. The warrior team that collects the most troll coins this month will receive this epic piece of equipment. This piece of equipment will be placed here at Duke Fordragon's envoy. Also, bonuses
Too."
After saying that, [Drunken Bird] kicked open a large box, which was filled with Arathor gold coins.
The Zandalari Trolls also set rules. What rewards will be given to the top ten coins collected each month, and how many rewards will be given to the top one hundred. All are based on teams, and the number of registered people in each team shall not exceed 5. They will be supervised by the Alliance Military Police.
.
As soon as the news came out, the entire alliance went into shock.
The wealth has already moved people’s hearts!
There are also epic equipment.
Almost all adventurers and bounty hunters in the alliance are tempted.
At first, some people doubted whether this was a trap or something. But they soon found out that the trolls were also divided into many factions, attacking each other.
Then, a new rumor spread.
"I heard! The top leaders of the alliance are planning to select new members who are strong enough to join the hero group in this troll hunting, regardless of their origin. The top team will be recruited by the kings of various countries and directly granted the position of viscount."
In fact, the rumors are a bit outrageous to this extent. No one with a clear head would believe them.
However, there was a bold guy who was not afraid of death and took advantage of Varian's patrol to shout loudly: "Your Majesty Wrynn, I heard that the most heroic warrior in the crusade against Zul'Gurub will be directly awarded the title of viscount. It is true.
?”
"Uh, it's true, ah, no! There is no such thing."
Even though Varian denied it immediately after the leak, an official statement from the Kingdom of Stormwind came later saying that there was no such thing. This did not prevent the rumors from further fermenting.
In the end, the team that can single-handedly defeat Hakkar, the evil god worshiped by trolls, will be awarded the surname "Tolbane" and become the Duke of Stromgard.
