Immigration, transformation, pioneering, construction...
With the huge Kul Tiran fleet led by Dailin, as well as mages sent from Dalaran and Quel'Thalas, as well as dwarf blacksmiths and dwarf engineers supported by Ironforge, the entire northern part of Strangle Vale was originally wild.
The tropical rainforest has been transformed into a habitable new home in just two or three months.
Especially after mechanical fellers and mechanical puppets capable of automatic farming and harvesting were manufactured and put into use on a large scale, it became extremely easy to cultivate farmland and plant on it.
In addition, Zuo Si personally used "Marvin's World Weaving Technique" to transform the originally rainy tropical climate into a subtropical climate that is most suitable for farming. In less than three months, the first batch of grain was planted.
An unprecedented harvest has been achieved.
Poultry and livestock transported by ship also thrived with ample food.
The entire peninsula divided by rivers in the northwest of Stranglethorn Valley is basically full of large and small farms, orchards and breeding farms.
Whether you are a human or a forest elf, you can get a piece of land of your own if you wish, build a house nearby and live a peaceful life.
Rich reserves of various mineral veins have also been discovered in the mountainous areas adjacent to the Western Wilderness in the north, completely solving the last weakness and worries.
Under the organization of the church, a group of humans plus dwarves and gnomes from Ironforge established a town here focusing on mining and forging.
In particular, the stable mining of gold and silver means that you can start to mint your own currency.
The emergence of currency quickly caused the original rationing system to quickly collapse and disintegrate, and was replaced by a market economy with free circulation of wealth.
Whether it was the greedy goblins in Booty Bay in the south or the human traders in the Stormwind Kingdom in the north, they all immediately dispatched ships to carry out trade.
It didn't take long for ships from various eastern kingdoms to appear in the port of the "Contract City", and the market became extremely prosperous and lively.
Of course, the price was that the population of the East Wilder region of the Kingdom of Lordaeron was depleted, more than half of the villages were abandoned, and hundreds of thousands of people came to the south through ships and later through portals that high elf mages helped open and maintain.
After all, no one in this world is a real fool.
After learning that there are still countless undead armies hidden in the area, the terrible plague continues to spread in invisible places, and even the land in some areas close to the forest shows signs of withering and death. If you don't run away quickly, why don't you wait?
Die?
In the original timeline, the main reason why these civilians were all killed and became part of the undead in natural disasters was because they had nowhere to run.
But now, except for some nobles and wealthy people who own large amounts of land and real estate, as well as residents who live in large towns and are protected by strong walls, basically everyone who can escape has fled.
Even nobles and wealthy people will do everything possible to send their sons and daughters to the relatively safe Stranglethorn Valley, allowing them to open a hotel, tavern, or do some business that can make money to support themselves in the "Contract City".
Since Calia has been officially confirmed as the queen of this new human kingdom, in the eyes of King Terenas, this is a good thing. Instead of obstructing it, he deliberately kept the lord of Stratholme, Baron Rivendell, in the royal capital.
a period of time.
In addition, the largest troll force in the north of Stranglethorn Vale, the Bloodcap Trolls, has completely become history, and they have all become about 100,000 forest elves.
Most of them live together with humans, and even begin to intermarry with each other, get pregnant, and soon give birth to a large number of mixed offspring.
Only a small number followed Calesia across the river and headed south to continue converting the Skullsplitter trolls.
As for those murlocs on the long coastline that could not be killed no matter how hard they tried, Zuo Si dropped two targeted viruses without any hesitation.
One is to cause lesions in the gills of the fishmen, causing them to be unable to breathe underwater at all, and they can only climb ashore and be repeatedly strangled by the Velociraptor Dragoons patrolling along the coastline.
The other is a terrible skin disease that causes their strong and smooth scales to fester and no longer have any defensive effect. They can be easily killed by arrows, spears and other piercing weapons.
With this two-pronged approach, the coast north of Stranglethorn Vale soon became very safe.
Some bold and business-minded guys even spent a lot of money to buy diving equipment and began to collect artificially cultivated pearls from giant clams on the seabed.
While Zuo Si was enjoying the fun of farming and construction, teasing Princess Calia, now a married woman, from time to time, and occasionally exchanging magic tips with Jaina and Kael'thas, the sudden appearance of an uninvited guest broke the news.
calm.
He was none other than Mal'Ganis, who lured Prince Arthas to Northrend.
However, the current condition of the Dread Lord was obviously not good. Not only was there a huge wound on his chest that was pierced by a sharp sword, but the flesh and blood near the wound was also pale, festered and dead.
"My dear friend, things don't look good for you, don't they?"
The corners of Zuo Si's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a playful and teasing smile.
Although he had not seen the famous artifact - Frostmourne, he could tell from what he saw at this moment that this wound was definitely caused by Frostmourne.
Because despite the fact that the Dreadlords often use shadow magic, in fact their real power comes from death, soul and psychic energy.
Therefore, to be able to inflict such horrific wounds on a Dread Lord, there is absolutely no second weapon in Azeroth except Frostmourne at this stage.
"Your warning is indeed right!
This bastard, the Lich King Ner'zhul, actually has evil intentions and plans to get rid of us, the Dread Lords, who are spying on him.
He is obviously not as completely surrendered to the Burning Legion as he appears to be.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If I hadn’t been prepared in advance and escaped by pretending to be dead, my body would have been destroyed and my soul would have returned to the Twisting Nether to wait for rebirth.”
When he said these words, Mal'Ganis looked particularly angry, both in his tone and in his eyes.
After all, he who is the best at playing tricks in the direct line was actually bitten by an old orc who was completely exposed to the control of the Dread Lords. It was really embarrassing.
If he had not been warned in advance and prepared out of caution, he would definitely have become the laughing stock of the entire Dread Lord circle.
"Haha, it seems you don't know enough about Ner'zhul, let alone his despicableness and forbearance.
If you carefully understand and analyze this guy's life trajectory, it is actually easy to find that he rarely resists head-on against beings stronger than himself.
Instead, they will choose to grovel and pretend to cater, and then secretly accumulate strength.
When the time comes, he will choose to betray without hesitation.
What's more, in Ner'zhul's eyes, you are a minion of the Burning Legion and an informant sent by Kil'jaeden to monitor him.
He didn't know that all the Dreadlords were actually spies inserted into the Legion by the mysterious master behind them.
So based on the above points, it is completely normal for the Lich King to take advantage of the perfect opportunity when Arthas has just obtained Frostmourne and is full of strong hatred to kill you.
Anyway, when the time comes, all we have to do is explain it to the other Dreadlords that the prince was not yet completely under control at that time and guarantee that a similar situation will not happen again."
Zuo Si straightforwardly analyzed the causes and consequences of the entire incident.
It has to be said that as spies, the Dread Lords are definitely qualified.
Because except for the creator and master behind it, all other forces believe that they were born from the twisted void like other demons.
Even Sargeras, the founder of the Burning Legion and the strongest Titan in the Pantheon, is no exception.
But the problem is that these fear lords don't know whether it is because they have done a good job of keeping secrets, or they have been undercover for too long and have made hiding themselves a habit.
The king didn't express anything.
So much so that Ner'zhul mistakenly believed that the Dreadlord was a minion sent by Kil'jaeden to monitor him, and he was always trying his best to get rid of him.
Didn't realize at all that these were actually friendly forces.
Both parties are essentially serving the same master.
And this kind of mistake continued after Arthas became the Lich King.
I don't know if this is a deliberate arrangement, or if the Dread Lords still want to work undercover for the Burning Legion, so they must appear to be incompatible with the Lich King who betrayed the Legion.
Anyway, in Zuo Si's eyes, the whole thing was quite outrageous from beginning to end.
"So you think we are to blame for this happening?" Mal'Ganis asked with wide eyes.
Zuo Si shook his head meaningfully: "No, I just want to express that you don't need to be so angry at all, but you should consider how to use this opportunity when everyone thinks you have been killed to do something. You need to know this
But it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, because no one would guard against a dead man.”
Hearing these words, Malganis suddenly realized something, touched her chin and considered it carefully for a moment, and quickly responded: "What you said makes sense.
This is indeed a rare and good opportunity for me.
If you use it well, you can do a lot of things without Kil'jaeden's sight.
Here, here's the Legion technology, magic and some information you want about the Expeditionary Force Vanguard.
Archimonde the Defiler is ready to lead senior commanders such as Abyss Lord Mannoroth and Doom Lord Kazzak who have participated in the War of the Ancients to enter Azeroth at any time through the portal opened by the Scourge.
Although I don’t know exactly what you want to do, I can guarantee that this country established in the Stranglethorn Valley in the south will never be able to withstand the full-scale invasion launched by the Burning Legion.
Not to mention the Legion, even the Lich King’s undead army can easily destroy it.”
"I never thought about relying on these mortals to resist demons or undead. I just used faith to ensure my connection with this world."
Zuo Si pretended to be nonchalant and took a stack of something that looked like special metal plates from the Dread Lord's hand.
