On the fourth day after Gerner Fadlan and Franz left, Prell received good news from Rolling Rock Canyon: After more than a month of hard work, Koruzik and his mountain giants
Together with hundreds of kobolds who followed, the mountain road from the Black Stone Mine to Harvest Canyon was finally opened.
This is a road that goes around the mountains, and there are three mountain tunnels in it, which can accommodate a Kodo beast. If it weren't for these three mountain tunnels, perhaps Koluzik could have completed the project more than half a month ahead of schedule.
So Prell ordered that Koruzik lead his men and turn towards the Malakajin Valley. According to the previous agreement with the tauren, the tunnel in the Windstorm Mountains would be opened, so that the Stonetalon Mountains and the Mulgore region would be connected, eliminating the need for
A path around the Barrens.
Koruzik, the nominal commander of the Royal Guards of the Kingdom of Thresh and now the de facto captain of the mountain tunnel excavation brigade, does not have many complaints. Compared with his daily work in Feralas, the amount of work in the Stonetalon Mountains is not significant.
big.
He now falls in love with the Kingdom of Thresh more and more. The mountain giants are originally an extremely introverted and silent race, but Koluzik is an anomaly. He is too young. Of course, this is relative to the lifespan of the mountain giant race. So he
The outside world is still full of curiosity, with a passionate and active desire to explore.
Moreover, Prell has promised him that as long as the Malakajin Valley Tunnel is opened, he can safely work in the selection and training of the Guards and fulfill Koruzik's dream of leading troops.
For more than half a year since the founding of the Kingdom of Thresh, Prell actually did not develop much of the Rolling Rock Canyon. It was only when he was truly familiar with all the conditions of the Rolling Rock Canyon that he began to develop it in a step-by-step manner, and he was ensuring that
Without affecting the daily life of the mine, no excessive use of manpower is required.
Of course, according to the opinion of Finance Minister Jikniku, he would prefer that the great chief Prell be more peaceful, because last year the kingdom's fiscal revenue and expenditure were basically the same, so Medivh is still used to allow Medivh to the kingdom.
The remuneration paid by An Yinju is also included in the calculation.
In other words, the kingdom's finances were in deficit last year, which is not really a good thing for a new and small force.
From the beginning of this year to now, Prell has summoned the army to use troops against the Gale Valley. This expenditure made Jikniku feel that this year the kingdom will have a deficit on its books for the first time, because it is impossible to always have someone like Medivh.
good things happen.
Prell has also been paying attention to financial issues, but there is a benefit. When the Kingdom's garrison is dispatched, Prell only made a verbal promise for the wages of the kobold soldiers, and he plans to owe it for a period of time.
As for the tauren who participated in the war, as allies, they did not receive wages. For the jackals and ogres who surrendered, Prell did not even negotiate with them how much they would pay to serve as soldiers.
Only the Harpy's place was not easy to deal with. After all, the Harpy's Green Valley was in a state of exhaustion, so Prell managed to deal with it with official financial allocations.
Since Prell took office, the kobolds have shown their face in the Backwater Oasis and defeated the venture capital company in the Windy Valley. This is a victory that the kobold tribe has not had in thousands of years, so his prestige among the tribe has plummeted.
Increasingly, many kobold soldiers even stated that they were willing to sacrifice their lives for the warchief regardless of reward.
Moved and moved, Prell still had to find a way to get money. After all, the soldiers had fought for it with their lives, and he really couldn't bear to ignore it.
For the Gnolls, what Prell can do is to build Black Wolf Town, allowing the Gnolls to integrate into the new kingdom society led by him with a new way of life, and provide them with certain living material subsidies as rewards.
Under Prell's personal prestige, Thresh Kingdom, which occupied Rolling Rock Canyon and Gale Mine, and occupied almost one-third of the entire Stonetalon Mountains, began to gradually think about the situation that he had envisioned changing.
At least in Rolling Rock Canyon, some kobolds have begun to try to work and live outside mines and caves, and a very small number of kobold civilians have also followed the example of the kobold soldiers and removed the candles on the top of their hats.
The two small valleys, Harvest Valley and Green Grass Valley, have also been developed by the kobolds. They have cleared the gravel on the hillside, cut down the redundant trees, cleaned up the streams, and built small water storage ponds one after another.
Under the leadership of the tauren druids supported by the Burning Sun Stone Residence, the kobolds also began to try to plant some crops and cash crops, such as rye, oats, flax, and a small number of fruit trees and vegetables suitable for mountainous areas.
Similarly, in the Gale Valley, especially around the former Gnoll camp, the clearings of the forest were cleared and plowed carefully. Prell asked Diesel to lead a group of humans and plow them carefully. The Kingdom of Thresh lacked cattle, so plowing
Tian's replacement was the captured war horses of the human escort soldiers.
Magatha Grimtotem has been staying in the Black Wolf Lake camp, which is the Black Wolf Town that has not yet fully formed. Her task is to take care of the Tauren blacksmiths and craftsmen who come, and at the same time lead the Tauren soldiers to guard it.
What a small town.
It is precisely because of the existence of the tauren soldiers that both the Bronzebeard dwarves and the Dark Iron dwarves, as well as the prisoners of the Cliff Lake logging team later, all behaved honestly.
Morgan Barbeard thinks that Storm Valley is not bad. Dwarves have always been very stubborn. To put it bluntly, dwarves are prone to retribution. So he feels that Gresu and the senior management of the venture capital company have deceived him. This black iron
The leader of the dwarves immediately turned to Prell.
He doesn't feel that he is surrendering, he just feels that he has taken reality into consideration and changed the boss he serves. Judging from the past half month, at least this new boss, although he is a kobold, at least treats them well, so
The Dark Iron dwarves have begun to try to accept a new life.
Tyros Stonebeard, as the leader of the Bronzebeard dwarves, currently has less than 40 Bronzebeard dwarves under his command, all from Dun Morogh, where Ironforge is located. But Tyros does not want to work for Prell. He once worked in Locke
I have lived in Modan, so I don't like kobolds at all.
This time Prell sent someone to report to the venture capital company asking for ransom, and he insisted on it, hoping to pay the ransom and leave here, even if they paid the money themselves.
Prell didn't want to offend Ironforge. He felt that he might still have to deal with dwarves in the future, so he agreed to Tyros's request. With the Dark Iron dwarves and the tauren blacksmith here, the Bronzebeard dwarves were not necessary.
Already.
Moreover, Tyros and his bearded dwarves have performed very well during this period. They still go to work on time every day. They also still teach the jackal apprentices assigned to them before. In short, the bronze-bearded dwarves are very good.
There was a wink, which already made Prell very satisfied.
In addition, Prell has been paying close attention to the situation in the direction of the mud swamp. The Witchwing clan sent a so-called "elite soldier", which was actually the same soldier who participated in the battle of the Backwater Oasis last time.
There are constant disturbances between the eastern part of the water ridge and the silt swamp.
Since there was a logging team from the Silt Swamp stationed on the east side of the Waterless Ridge, this made the goblin director of the Silt Swamp, Lugwitz, very angry. However, the number of troops he could mobilize was limited. After all, he had just sent a group of several soldiers.
A team of a hundred people went to support the damn Gresu.
Lugwitz, who was so annoyed by the harassment, called back the logging team. The Witchwing clan was proud of this, but most of the forest in the east of Waterless Ridge was still cut down.
Lugwitz was very lucky. As soon as he transferred the logging team back, a caravan that went out to trade with the Kokar Centaur fled back in a panic and told him bad news: Razor Ridge and Thorn Ridge
The wild boars of the Steelmane clan have united and are marching toward the mud swamp!
As the future chief of the Razor Hill quilboars, the most militant and toughest of the three branches of the Steelmane quilboars, Georod Zabana has always been a radical and activist. His father, the current chief, is old.
, so almost all the affairs of the clan were handed over to him.
Georod Zabana once personally fought against Tiragarde Castle, but Razor Hill barely gained any advantage and could not defeat the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, so he transferred this hatred to the people who had always been in the Barrens.
At the hands of unscrupulous venture capital firms.
He felt that the venture capital company was behind the colonial stronghold of Tiragarde Castle, providing food, supplies and weapons to humans. Since it couldn't offend a powerful human kingdom, it should be able to deal with a goblin company, right?
So he approached Krinig Badnose, who was also a Steelmane Wild Boar. The young chief of Thorn Ridge quickly agreed to join him. During the battle at the Backwater Oasis, Krynig Badnose stood on the side of Screaming.
On Thornmane's side, his position is different from that of Georod Zabana, but this does not mean that the two sides are enemies.
Krynig Badnose supports Screaming Thorns because he hopes that the chief of the Thornback clan, who is also a wild boar, can lead the indigenous race to expel the centaurs, but Screaming Thorns is obviously unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility. One thing
Differences in differences do not mean differences in everything.
As a result, all kinds of dissatisfaction, coupled with the knowledge that Prell had killed hundreds of mud swamp reinforcements in Ashenvale, made the two equally young leaders of the steel-maned wild boar people energetic and prepared to attack the weakly defended mud swamp.
