In a sense, the Alliance was a group of people who were in the same boat.
For a long time, as long as their capital had not fallen, they would not have the nerve to go out and say that they were Alliance Warriors.
Yes, the Gilneas Kingdom that built the Greymane Wall to block foreign enemies and cut off the Alliance was regarded as a coward.
The Unkillable Stormwind relied on Du Wei's amazing methods to perfectly restore the kingdom and jumped to the top of the Alliance.
Queen Kalia of Lordaeron was promoted by Duque. Everyone knew that she became the Queen because of Duque. For the same reason, she vowed not to marry.
Okay, the same went for Cuel Salas, Alterac, and Kurtiras. Without exception, the Marcus Family's chamber of commerce did their best to support the restoration of these declining kingdoms.
They invested a lot of manpower and resources, rebuilt transportation, sold molded building materials at low prices, and even enjoyed interest-free loans if they had no money. The collateral was only a 30-year concession to certain minerals or specialties in these countries.
It was because of this comprehensive support, including the economy, people's livelihood, and circulation, that these kingdoms could recover quickly.
There was even a widely accepted saying: "You want to restore the kingdom? First have a beautiful queen, then send her to Duke Marcus' harem. Then the country can be revived. "
When the Alliance was in a power struggle, this method was the fastest and most effective. It could allow Duque to complete control of the Alliance in the fastest and most peaceful way.
When Duque completely controlled the Alliance, this method seemed to be inappropriate.
The reason why the Alliance had such a thriving vitality in history, where the capitals of the various countries were constantly in trouble and the world was repeatedly destroyed, was because of the tolerance that was born for the sake of a common goal.
If the Alliance only had the appearance of an alliance, it would actually be the empire's plaything. One day, the Alliance would collapse, and that day might even come before the Burning Legion's attack.
This required Duque's higher political wisdom to deal with this matter.
No matter who he wanted to protect in private, he had to at least be fair on the surface.
There were many countries in the Alliance that had fallen. Now, there was Stromgard that could be saved. There was also the Gnome Kingdom Gnomeregan that had been temporarily affected by radiation. In the near future, when the Draenei entered the Alliance, there would be a half-destroyed Shattrath City.
In this life, there was no such thing as Kael 'thas forcing the Draenei to jump over the wall and flee by flying airships, but Shattrath City, which was located on the broken Draenor, was bound to fall sooner or later. At that time, rebuilding the capital would be another huge project.
It was unknown if there were still Draenei living in Exodar, the capital of Azeroth.
Jaina understood Duque's decision. However, as a strong woman who was good at making use of her feminine advantages, Jaina gently moved her mouth close to Duque's ear. She blew into his ear and rubbed her fingers against Duque's shoulder and collarbone.
"I understand. However, the core strength of Theramore was the people of Kul Tiras, plus the refugees from Stormgard and Lordaeron! Now that you're doing this, they're all gone … "
Then what's the point of my Theramore?
That was what Jaina was trying to say.
"I remember that when I asked you to build Theramore, it was to build an Alliance bridgehead in Kalimdor, right? Have you forgotten what a bridgehead is? "
Jaina's movements suddenly froze.
Damn it! Theramore was developing so well that she had almost forgotten about it. Unknowingly, Jaina had already built Theramore as the new capital of Kul Tiras.
There was no other way! In the past two thousand years, most of the enemies had come from the mainland, such as the trolls. Kul 'Tiras Island was isolated in the sea, more like a paradise.
Unfortunately, on the eve of the Battle of Mount Hyjal, the Burning Legion swept through Kul Tiras, killing the late king Dailin, cruelly breaking the dreams of the people of Kul Tiras.
In the beginning, Theramore had obtained so much manpower and material resources, of course, it had the support of the Alliance led by Duque. Another reason was that the life on the mainland had attracted a group of refugees who had lost their homes and longed for peace.
Later, the Alliance supported the Horde and obtained a large amount of ore from the Horde. As the only window-type port for trade between the Alliance and the Horde, Theramore was simply plucking feathers from the geese.
In order to reduce the shipping pressure, the Alliance funded the establishment of a large-scale mineral refinery in Theramore, refining the ore into various metal ingots, and then shipping them back to Iron Furnace Castle, Stormwind City, Lordaeron City and other places.
On the other hand, in order to support the Battle of Silithus, several munitions factories specialized in manufacturing ammunition were built in Theramore in advance.
Because of the trade between the Alliance and the Horde, as well as military needs, Theramore showed an exaggerated prosperity.
Not to mention the people below, even Jaina, the master of Theramore, was numb.
No one had thought that if one day the Alliance and the Horde fell out, what would happen to Theramore?
Without Duque's reminder, Jaina would still not wake up. What about the bridgehead? She had to be prepared to be beaten up!
Jaina's golden eyebrows almost stood up, and her beautiful face suddenly became fierce. "Hmph! The Horde has the ability to take down Theramore first, and besides … who dares!? "
Theramore, as a city on an isolated island by the Dustwallow Swamp, had been built with the standards of the strongest military fortress from the beginning.
The east was by the sea, and the north, west and south were all swamps. The situation in the swamp was terrible. Most of the areas were swamps that could easily swallow people, and there were large numbers of large poisonous spiders, crocodiles and other wild beasts. This was definitely not a good place to march.
By the way, to the south of the Dustwallow Swamp was the nest of Duque's mount, Onyxia, and there were thousands of Draconians wandering there …
To enter Theramore City, they had to cross an extremely wide waterway. This waterway was a natural moat.
With the cannons of the stronghold and a few flying warships, anyone who came would really die.
It was definitely not wrong to say that it was easy to defend and hard to attack.
Jaina was not bragging, but with the current strength of the Horde, even if they used the entire Horde's regular combat power, they would not be able to defeat Theramore. If they maintained their advantage on the sea and were not blocked, not to mention a year and a half, they could easily defend for ten years.
Duque smiled. "Of course you're in an invincible position with conventional tactics. You're just afraid that the other side will use a super magic bomb or something."
According to history, Theramore was destroyed by a nuclear level magic bomb [Focusing Rainbow], and Rhonin was killed as well. Jaina, who had spent almost all of her youth on Theramore, turned white overnight because of this.
