After all the agreements were signed, Thrall very generously released nearly two thousand human soldiers who had been captured and surrendered, but their weapons, armor, and equipment were all kept and became the trophies of the tribe.
Except for a small amount of armor and weapons suitable for troll warriors, the rest of these trophies were given to Prell, who transported them back to Black Wolf Town and remade them.
Daelin Proudmoore quickly left Theramore with the remaining fleet in despair. He really had no shame in staying any longer.
Thinking that he had commanded more than 200 large and small warships with high spirits when he arrived, but now only dozens of large warships followed him, Daelin Proudmoore felt extremely melancholy. The fleet gradually moved away, looking at his daughter who was delivering a message at the dock.
The figure became smaller and smaller, and he sighed.
Next, he would return to the Kingdom of Kul Tiras to deal with the domestic censure that would inevitably arise from the many losses. Daelin Proudmoore felt that his daughter had drifted away from him and chose another path.
Maybe Player's suggestion is really good.
Four ships of the high-priced grain that Daelin Proudmoore purchased from the South Sea Pirates on the Merchant Coast were also left behind. Thrall generously left one ship for Jaina as a sign of reconciliation with Theramore.
Next, the tribal army began to withdraw from Dustwallow Marsh, but Thrall left an army of two hundred people in Brackenwall Village to assist O'Korn Rockfist in continuing to build this ogre village.
After talking with Thrall, Prior also extended an invitation to Jaina, hoping that she could visit the Kingdom of Thresh.
After the Battle of Mount Hyjal, Prior had sent out an invitation, but Jaina rejected it. This time, Jaina couldn't refuse the invitation, so she agreed.
Prell didn't have any bad thoughts about Jaina. He was interested in Theramore's human experience and technology in agriculture, and hoped to obtain human guidance in agriculture.
Of course, it would be better if we could take this opportunity to sign a trade contract with Theramore for ore and primary mineral processing.
Today's tribe can be regarded as a loose confederacy. The orcs led by Thrall provide assistance and help to other members with their powerful force. They are far from controlling the tribe as much as Garrosh Hellscream later when he was the warchief.
tough.
Then the Horde army marched from Dustwallow Marsh to the Barrens, then crossed the Giant Wilderness again, and rested for a whole day near Taurajo's camp.
What they passed along the way was mainly the territory of the wild boars of the Thornback clan. Screaming and Thornback did not make any movement. Similarly, the centaurs in the backwater oasis also continued to huddle in the oasis in a low-key manner.
Cairn Bloodhoof led the tauren army back to Thunder Bluff from the Taurajo camp, while Prell's army separated from Thrall and others at the crossroads and returned to the Stonetalon Mountains again.
At Rolling Rock Castle, Prell met the Pandaren Old Chen who had stayed behind. For the Pandaren Old Chen, Prell had always been reluctant to let go. He knew that the purpose of the Pandaren coming to the continent of Kalimdor was just to travel and
Looking for new brewing materials.
But because he had helped Lao Chen, this warm-hearted panda man had been accompanying him and became one of his most trusted partners, and he was also trapped in the Rolling Rock Canyon.
When meeting Prell, Old Chen was not dissatisfied because he did not participate in the war against the Kingdom of Kul Tiras. He proudly showed Preel a new dish.
It was a bowl of thick red soup, dotted with a ball of white yogurt in the middle. It looked very beautiful, more like a work of art than a dish.
At Old Chen's signal, Prell took a bite with a wooden spoon, and his eyes suddenly widened. Old Chen laughed: "I learned this from the bear people. It is said to be a special dessert of the night elves.
Red Lily Soup!”
Then Lao Chen introduced it in detail. It turns out that this soup is made from musk lilies that are widely distributed from the Black Sea to Mount Hyjal. It contains parsley, mint leaves, black malt, chicken broth, a small amount of pepper and young lemongrass.
In addition, there is beetroot.
Lao Chen proudly held out a beet the size of a radish and said: "This crop contains a certain amount of sugar. The night elves plant a lot of it in the mountainous areas. It is their main raw material for sugar production."
He lowered his voice: "The night elves have been unwilling to sell beet seeds to outsiders. In fact, we pandaren have cultivated beets with higher sugar content. Unfortunately, I did not bring out the seeds. Now the sugar in the world of Azeroth is
, mainly maintained by the goblins, who make sugar from sugar cane, I think we can cultivate beets, so that we can develop our own sugar industry!"
Prell was so excited that he was pacing back and forth. As Old Chen said, there are not many condiments in the world of Azeroth, and sugar obviously accounts for the majority of trade. None of the major goblin chaebol business groups is involved in the
Those in the sugar industry include venture capital companies famous for forestry and mining.
At least Prell knew that venture capital companies owned several large-scale sugar cane plantations in the Stranglethorn Valley area. It was precisely because of the cooperation with goblins such as Cappellan, Dark Iron dwarves such as Morgan and Barbarian, and with Se
From the private conversations between Lamo and humans, Prell has realized that the world of Azeroth has a huge demand for sugar.
Sweetness is something that no intelligent race can refuse. Unlike salt, which is a necessity, sugar is a mid-to-high-end luxury product. This is not because the sugar industry in the world of Azeroth is underdeveloped, but because almost all of the sugar industry has been
The goblins have a monopoly.
Once a certain industry forms a monopoly, it will inevitably lead to high profits, and the sucrose controlled by the goblins is no different. Because the night elves discovered sugar beets, they did not need to buy too much sugar from the goblins, but the elves were too arrogant.
He also lacks business acumen, so he has no idea or ability to get involved in the sugar industry.
Prior has been thinking about the future development of Thresh Kingdom before. His appetite is not big. He just plans to develop Thresh Kingdom into the largest mining production and processing party in the tribe. In terms of basic agriculture, the priority is still to develop food planting.
, followed by flax cultivation and sugar industry.
Now that Lao Chen has brought in beets, he has made up for the economic structure construction ideas he had proposed with the kingdom's top officials.
"How did you get this beet?" Unable to hold back his excitement, Prell asked. Old Chen laughed: "Urok gave it to me!"
Prell laughed. When Old Chen followed him from Azshara through the south tunnel of Timbermaw Fortress to Mount Hyjal, due to his identity as a pandaren, he probably had the same origin as the bearmen, and they felt some familiarity with each other.
Aura, so there were about two hundred Timbermaw Bears who mainly expressed their intention to fight with Lao Chen.
The relationship between the Timbermaw Ursines and the night elves has always been very good, and they are allies. After the Battle of Mount Hyjal, about a dozen Ursines expressed their willingness to continue to follow Lao Chen, so they followed him to the Kingdom of Thresh.
Just like those ogres, Prell recognized their social status and Lao Chen's leadership over them, regarded them as Lao Chen's followers, and gave them all fair treatment.
Urok is a Timbermaw bear shaman and the leader of the bear people who follow Lao Chen. He can be regarded as Lao Chen's personal guard and confidant.
Of course the Timbermaw Bears would not admit that they were attracted by Lao Chen's fine wine. In Rolling Rock Canyon, Prell opened a grape plantation specifically for Lao Chen, and Lao Chen also built a winemaking workshop.
After learning that Lao Chen was looking for sweet plants to improve and brew new wine, Urok immediately provided a small bag of beet seeds, and specially returned to Felwood Forest, bringing more than a dozen finished beet seeds.
.
It was because of his identity as a bearman that he brought these beets out so that they would not be intercepted and searched by the night elf army. Prell couldn't help but sigh.
Urok is a simple bear man. He obviously does not know what kind of impact his actions will have on the Kingdom of Thresh, the night elves, and even the sugar industry around the world. But Prell cannot directly attack him.
Commend and reward, otherwise the bears will surely figure out what's going on.
"Next year we will start planting sugar beets in the Green Grass Valley, and we will send soldiers to guard the valley. As long as we create sugar, even if it is not sweet enough or pure enough, we can defeat the goblins within the tribe and get enough orders!" Prell was excited!
say.
"I know!" Lao Chen was also very excited, because from his understanding, the best-selling wine in the world is not the wine with the highest production volume, but rum.
Rum has always been considered a low-grade liquor drunk by rough pirates, and it even became synonymous with pirates for a time. However, it is sugar cane liquor, which means that rum is sweet.
In the human kingdom, wealthy merchants and nobles like to drink wine with added sucrose, but they also like sweeter rum, just to show their status and resolutely not to associate with pirates. Some merchants use the same process,
It has changed many names, but it is actually still rum and is sold all over the world.
In today's Thresh Kingdom, in Rolling Rock Canyon, there are three major mines that produce coal, iron, copper and associated gems. The harpies settled in the shade. The shade valley mainly grows flax, and the harvest valley mainly grows rye and oats.
, Green Grass Valley also grew grain before, but now Prell decided to switch to sugar beets.
As for the Gale Valley, Prell decided to continue to open up the deforested forests near the Thunderma camp, which was the previous base camp of the venture capital company's logging team, to cultivate fertile fields, build farms, and grow more food.
After discussing the future development of Rolling Rock Canyon with Lao Chen, Prell hurried to Gale Valley again. Now the focus of development of Thresh Kingdom has been moved here. After all, this is a huge valley with great potential.
development potential.
Then in Black Wolf Town, Prell got another good news: Gruzik discovered rock salt in the northwest of the Gale Valley!
Since arriving in the Kingdom of Thresh, the main task of less than ten mountain giants led by Gruzik has been to build roads. They have built the tunnel from Coke Valley to Rolling Rock Canyon, and opened the tunnel from Malakajin to Mogao.
Lei's tunnel initially trained a group of construction workers for the Kingdom of Thresh.
Prell had previously planned to expand the Stoneclaw Trail, but considering the opinions of the night elves, he finally gave up. So Gruzik and others had another task, in the two territories of Thresh Kingdom.
Inside, look for new veins of minerals.
The exploration team led by Gruzik discovered a rock salt mine in the northwest of the Gale Valley. The current reserves are unknown, but according to Gruzik's rough estimate, once mined, it will be more than enough to supply the Thresh Kingdom and the Tauren.
, and it can be mined for at least several decades.
The edible salt in the world of Azeroth is mainly sea salt. The Kingdom of Lordaeron, the Kingdom of Gilneas and the Kingdom of Stormwind, which are close to the sea, all have the technology to make sea salt, not to mention the dwarves. Similarly, the goblins have also mastered it.
Sea Salt Technology.
It is precisely because of the popularization of sea salt technology that the goblins do not have a complete monopoly on the salt industry. Previously, the Thresh Kingdom mainly purchased salt from the night elves. Now that rock salt is available, it means that the Thresh Kingdom has another daily necessity.
No need to be pinched by outsiders.
Prell was extremely happy, he felt that the future of Thresh Kingdom was bright!
