When Lordaeron expressed the need to build Nethergarde, the countries here all eagerly agreed and sent out their most elite troops. The dwarves and gnomes worked to build the railways, and Stormwind Kingdom provided the largest number of infantry.
Anyway, Terenas didn't even understand what a train was, and those guys had already voted in favor.
After all, the group of kings were just reciting what they had discussed last night.
After a few rounds, it's settled!
Seeing the overwhelming atmosphere in the alliance, they didn't even bother to vote. In front of the overwhelming majority of supporters, the two votes of the leader were useless.
Terenas could not suppress his anger at all. This was betrayal! This was a collective rebellion!
The power of Lordaeron!
Lordaeron's right to speak!
It was completely sidelined overnight!
At this moment, Terenas even wanted to dissolve the alliance.
But he couldn't say even a single word of 'no'.
They have not withdrawn from the alliance, and the countries are discussing serious matters within the framework of the alliance. The alliance has advocated freedom and equality since its inception, and they are right!
It's just that I won't take you to Lordaeron to play.
A morning meeting ended with no less than twenty cooperation clauses passed in the fields of military, economy, trade and other fields. Terenas felt that he was more like a voting machine responsible for voting in favor.
Of course, Terenas always vetoes projects that may involve huge expenditures.
Since there is no benefit, Lordaeron is unwilling to be the sucker.
Terenas made a decision. He wanted to see who the leader of the newly established city-state of Alterac was. If he could win him over...
The throne meeting was over, and most of the kings achieved the results they wanted. During the evening banquet, there was another round of joy and excitement.
Late at night, when the banquet was over, the eight alliance bosses lined up and the tragedy of using vomit to harm the saplings was repeated.
But late tonight, in the state guesthouse of Stormwind Kingdom, the three giants of Stormwind City gathered again after a quick wash.
"How about we sideline Terenas but not leave the Alliance?" Llane expressed his doubts.
Duke asked in return: "Today, a bunch of kingdoms are dissatisfied with the decision of the leader, and they immediately leave the alliance, and then they set up a new alliance. Tomorrow, a few kingdoms will be dissatisfied with a certain policy, so can they set up a third alliance? What I am doing is just to force Terenas to give up the idea of treating the leader as a ruler, and force Lordaeron to join the alliance like a real ally."
Anduin shrugged. "Force? I don't think Terenas will give in so easily. Lordaeron is a vast land. At worst, they can just close themselves off like the Elves of Quel'Thalas."
"Of course the two countries are different. After all, there are no Warsong Clan and Grom Hellscream in the Quel'thalas! If it were him, even Anduin would have to kneel down if he wasn't careful. The current Mograine is no match for him."
Anduin shrugged and had to agree.
Mograine might not be much inferior to Grom in martial arts, but the difference in weapons and strength was too great. If he had not arrived on two occasions, Lordaeron could have held a state funeral for Mograine.
"In winter, the Warsong orcs, who lack food, will naturally come out from the depths of Tirisfal Forest to cause chaos. Grom is not a fool, he will not mess with the rangers of Quel'Thalas."
Thinking that the only army in the entire human world that could fight guerrilla warfare against the Warsong Orcs was in Duke's hands, Llane and Anduin both laughed shamelessly.
"When our new agricultural tools come into use in the spring of next year, Lordaeron will naturally return to the negotiation table."
Llane was slightly stunned, then nodded. He really didn't know what Duke's brain was made of. Not only was he good at commanding wars, he was also a magic genius and even had a hand in inventing machinery. The new agricultural tools he brought out tonight shocked the ministers in charge of agriculture in various countries.
It was a completely new double-sided plow.
Even with such a small change, it is more than five times more reliable and flexible than the traditional single-sided plow.
What's more sharp is that the double-sided plow can plow the land in both directions, with the left and right directions controlled by an adjusting rod, and can rotate freely at a 45° angle to the left and right. The plow is made of all-steel, which is more durable than the traditional cast iron plow. The top screws of the plow mouth are longer, and the plow length is maintained at a fixed distance, making the plow look more rounded as a whole.
If I didn't know that Duke was a mage, I would have thought that Duke was an old expert who had been immersed in agriculture for decades.
Grain growing has never been valued by the dignitaries of various countries. However, after two years of war, which consumed almost all the grain reserves, almost every king's eyes lit up when he saw the new grain-related technology.
Although Duke only asked Gelbin to spend half a day to make a sample, after seeing this new double-sided plow easily turn the frozen garden upside down and being told that it required dwarven craftsmanship, the leaders of various countries immediately gritted their teeth and placed their bets. The orders that came in like snowflakes made Magni and Gelbin dizzy with joy.
Duke was also very happy.
According to the contract, as the inventor, he could receive one-third of the selling price of each plow as patent fees.
Not only double-sided plows, but also water wheels, water mills, water rolling mills, etc. It is foreseeable that when all these things are popularized, a lot of manpower can be saved.
The leaders of the alliance saw the power of the double-sided plow, but they were still skeptical about the things that only existed on the drawings. They ordered a batch of them for Duke's sake.
Only Llane fully supports Duke.
By next year, Stormwind Kingdom will reap the benefits.
Duke knew very well that the shortage of manpower after the war would be almost completely made up by his technology. This was also the reason why Stormwind dared to send 80,000 troops to guard the Dark Gate defense line.
Duke continued: "The meaning of the alliance is consultation and striving for the same goal. Countries that insist on isolationism will be hit hard or even swallowed up by new crises when they come. Only by staying within the framework of the alliance can there be true unity."
"The new crisis you mentioned is..." Lothar was more concerned about this.
"My people have been interrogating orc prisoners recently, and I heard a disturbing piece of news - the orc demigod warlock Gul'dan has an extremely powerful master named Ner'zhul!"
"I've heard of this name." Anduin recalled the report from SI:7. It was necessary to interrogate important figures of the orc prisoners.
It is even better that Lothar has heard it.
Duke began to make up a story: "That was a message from an orc who was about to die. The guy died right after he finished speaking, but I think it's quite credible. Gul'dan was originally a disciple of Ner'zhul, the first shaman of the Shadowmoon Clan..."
