The focus of the Thresh Kingdom’s work has always been to ensure the daily production operations of the kobold miners. Before the development of large-scale basic agriculture, everyone understood that the Thresh Kingdom still had to rely on mineral trade with venture capital companies.
to obtain enough food and basic living supplies.
Therefore, no matter what changes occur in the external situation, Prell always emphasizes that normal miner production cannot be disrupted. In fact, from the beginning, everything Preier and his subordinates and partners did was
It revolves around mining.
Prell reiterated this point, mainly to appease the kobold elders present. These kobold elders still adhere to the view of "escaping from the world", and they are not willing to easily get involved in the disputes of other races. Of course, the premise is
There is no external force forcing them to change their usual way of life.
In order to express support for the tauren as an ally, Prell decided to send Rexxar, who would lead a garrison of 500 kobolds to the Glory Post to join the tauren troops in the Apalaye camp.
In fact, today's Thresh Kingdom's garrison is not a fully professional soldier. Prell uses the garrison as a "construction army". In addition to daily training and patrolling, the garrison is also responsible for reclaiming wasteland.
task.
Rexxar took away 500 kobold soldiers, and the Thresh Kingdom's 1,200 soldiers were immediately stretched thin. Because the Blackstone Mine, Harvest Valley, Green Shade Valley and even Grass Valley needed to send garrison troops to guard and open up wasteland, the general
For the first time, Lehr felt that his troops were seriously insufficient.
Limited by the original poor output and limited supplies of Rolling Rock Canyon, Prell never considered expanding the size of his army, because that would inevitably disrupt the normal mining operations. But now the situation has changed, and he has to
Consider temporarily organizing some of the kobold miners who are taking turns into patrol teams to be responsible for various security work in the Kingdom of Thresh.
As the commander of the Kingdom's Guards, the mountain giant Koluzik now has no soldiers in his name. The Guards have actually been temporarily acted by the tauren instructors, but Koluzik does not feel that he has been deceived by Prell.
He could see very clearly that some things could not be rushed. The current situation of Thresh Kingdom and the formation of the Praetorian Guard were not something that could be just mentioned.
As for the Pandaren Old Chen, he was left behind. Prell set up a "Kingdom Master Planning Team", which was headed by Old Chen and the idle high elf sorceress Braylin Firefist, and there were several other members.
Named tauren and kobolds, they made overall plans for several valleys in a pioneering state.
On the third day after the meeting, the venture capital company's goblin caravan came from the Gale Valley and transported back the last batch of 1.2 million pounds of rough ore ordered, leaving behind tens of thousands of pounds of rye and other various supplies.
Although the price of ore increased, the goblins settled all the accounts readily. However, they increased the price of rye by 15 copper coins. The reason was naturally attributed to shipping costs.
Prell doesn't think this is the goblins' revenge for the kobolds' unilateral price increase. If Thrall really raises troops to liberate the imprisoned tribesmen in the Eastern Kingdom, war has already broken out, and an increase in food prices is inevitable.
The goblins only increased the price by 15 copper coins per pound, which shows that the orcs' liberation war has not yet affected the Kingdom of Stormwind. After all, this human kingdom is currently the largest business partner of the venture capital company.
Then the goblins placed another order for 500,000 pounds of crude iron ore, requiring delivery within a month. In this negotiation, the finance minister of the kingdom and the only baron in the kingdom, Jikniku, personally came forward. Of course, his title was
Kobold business consultant.
Seeing Jikniku, the director of the goblin caravan suddenly fell down. Naturally, he would not feel warm to see a member of his own race, nor would he think that Jikniku would make concessions for the sake of his own race. After all, in the end,
Whoever knows one goblin will always know another goblin.
After some negotiations, Jikniku once again increased the selling price of crude iron ore by 76 copper coins. The price increase of various goods, especially grain, sold by the venture capital company to the kobolds in two months was,
shall not exceed 4%.
You must know that the goblins purchase rye from human kingdoms such as Stormwind City, which costs about 40 copper coins per pound, and sell it to the continent of Kalimdor, which is basically 1.5 to 2 silver coins. This time, the goblins have increased the price by 10%. Next time
Maybe the price will go up.
Although the venture capital company is mainly engaged in mining and forestry, after all, for such a large force disguised as a company that has influence all over the world, it is completely unreasonable that there is not enough food inventory in the warehouse.
Jikniku knew some goblin friends who worked in venture capital companies, and after chatting with them, he once judged that food sales accounted for at least the top five in the profits of venture capital companies, perhaps not as much as the Steamwheedle Group or the Bilgewater Cartel.
But it can be considered quite powerful.
Prell originally didn't know the price of grain purchased by the venture capital company in the Eastern Kingdom. After listening to Jikniku's report, he was furious. He felt that he had thought too well of the goblins' business ideas. 15 copper coins
In absolute terms, the price increase seemed small, but the relative increase actually reached 10%, which made his slight favorable impression of the venture capital company disappear immediately.
The venture capital company's caravans were busy for several days, counting the goods handed over, and then left Rolling Rock Canyon with satisfaction. After they left, the five hundred soldiers who were assembled and prepared were in Lexa and
Under the leadership of some tauren instructors, they left Rolling Rock Canyon for the first time and headed towards Glory Post.
A tauren raptor druid also came to Rolling Rock Canyon. He was sent to the Apalaye camp by Cairn Bloodhoof and was ordered to continue passing the news to Thresh Kingdom and Sun Stone Dwelling.
This migration of the tauren was obviously a matter of great determination. Cairn Bloodhoof acted very decisively. Once he made up his mind on something, he immediately showed the ability of a great and talented warchief.
Cairn Bloodhoof first sent the old, weak, sick and young among the tauren tribe in the Southern Barrens back to Black Cloud Peak and Chaos Wind Hill. The civil war in Desolation made the Garak clan temporarily keep a low profile, so
This group of approximately 20,000 tauren returned to Thousand Needles Stone Forest.
Then the remaining approximately 30,000 tauren gathered together from the vast grasslands north of Blackthorn Mountain and south of the Giant Wilderness. They threw away all the things and items that were inconvenient to carry, and led by 1,500 tauren.
Heading towards the Giant Wilderness.
There, they encountered a large group of mutated scorpions. At least a hundred minotaurs were poisoned and died in the battle. However, the minotaurs finally passed through this wilderness full of huge scorpion eggs among the rocks and arrived at Aga.
Southern part of the Magog region.
The wild boars of the Steelmane Clan in Blackthorn Mountain did not react to the tauren's sudden movement. The tauren estimated that the Steelmane Clan had not noticed it yet, or that they had always reacted slowly.
At this time, the long rainy season in the Barrens has ended, and the Thornback Wild Boars have also moved towards the backwater oasis. According to the high-altitude reconnaissance of the Raptor Druids, the first fierce battle between the two sides will break out in at most two days.
.
Therefore, Cairn Bloodhoof decided to take a day's rest in the south. He sent an envoy to contact the small Taurajo outpost and to report the news to the Stonetalon Mountains.
Prell estimated the schedule. In other words, by the time he received the news, the Thornback Quilboar and Centaur should have already fought against each other, and Cairn Bloodhoof had already led the tribe towards Taurajo Post.
Already.
Although the tauren have raptor druids, which have some advantages in detection and communication compared to other races, it is impossible for the raptor druids to transmit all the information in real time.
After reporting the situation in the Southern Barrens, the Raptor Druid said to Prell: "Elder Magatha. Grimtotem wants you to go to the Apalaye camp. The Harpies of the Witchwing Clan expressed their willingness to help.
Wishes, the elders hope you can go."
Although he looked very tired, and the continuous flying consumed mana and physical strength, there was still uncontrollable excitement on the face of this tauren druid.
Prell nodded: "I will leave immediately! Please rest the messenger!" The Raptor Druid shook his head: "I have to rush to the Sun Stone Residence. The message has been sent, I must leave!"
Watching the druid fly to the north, Prell turned to the people behind him: "It seems that the Witchwing clan has also understood! Let's just pack up and set off immediately!"
In the middle of the afternoon, Gonzalo Xunfeng flew back tiredly. He reported the good news that the tauren instructors had led the garrison soldiers and miners over the mountains and arrived at the Blackstone Mine.
I breathed a sigh of relief, at least I no longer had to worry too much about Snoo staying there.
After handing over the affairs of the Thresh Kingdom to the Pandaren Lao Chen and Ninel Gogo, Prell led a group of attendants to the Apalaye camp.
There, he saw Sylvia Bloodfeather, the matron of the Witchwing clan, a sexy female harpy who was still dressed coolly and coquettishly. Seeing Prell, she smiled seductively:
"Aha, welcome to our warchief of Thresh Kingdom!"
This was a formal occasion. Regarding Sylvia Blood Feather's slightly frivolous attitude, Magatha Horrible Totem's expression did not change. Prell smiled: "Nice to meet you, Witch Wing Clan
Mistress!"
Sylvia Xueyu asked in an extremely ambiguous tone: "So, respected kobold chief, didn't the little green harpy you took in follow you? Is she your lover now?
"
Prell was too lazy to talk to the female harpy. He looked at Magatha: "Dear elder, is there something wrong?"
Magatha Grimtotem said: "The Witchwing clan is willing to deepen cooperation with the Tauren and Thresh Kingdoms. I think we can gain some more friendship between the three races."
Prell sneered in his heart. He admired Magatha very much, because he knew very well that the rich old cow in front of him was a deeply hidden racist. She clearly didn't like the harpy at all.
But he didn't show it at all, which is worth learning from Prell.
Since the reconciliation between the Witchwing Clan and the Apalaye Camp was reached the year before last, the life of the Witchwing Clan has undergone great changes. Although they have lost the good location for robbery at Stoneclaw Pass, trade between the two parties has continued.
Go deep.
The demand for leather by the tauren is huge. After all, they need to make leather armor. Although the output of the tauren themselves is not abundant, compared to the harpies who do not produce, the trade goods they can provide are
Enough for the needs of the Witchwing Clan.
The Witchwing clan has changed their lifestyle in the past two years and began to focus on hunting and gathering for a living. In a sense, they have formed a dependent and mutually beneficial relationship with the tauren in Apalaye Camp and the Sunstone Dwelling.
After the establishment of the Kingdom of Thresh, the huge demand for leather further stimulated the hunting and production of the Witchwing clan. It can be said that among almost all races and clans in the area around the Stonetalon Mountains, the Witchwing clan is the best.
The most comfortable.
Although hunting and gathering are restricted by the climate of the barren land, they have finally found a stable source of exchange and trade for food and living supplies. Although it is more difficult than robbery, it is better than stability, and this is enough.
Naturally, the Witchwing Clan does not know what the tauren are doing in the Southern Barrens, and Camp Apalaye will not tell them this. Sylvia Bloodfeather came here sincerely to seek help.
The reason is simple. The venture capital companies in the silt swamp have once again set their sights on Wushuiling, because the forests there are really lush and the forestry resources are so good that they are coveted.
