As soon as Kalia said that, all the leaders gasped.
No one would forget Arthas.
Even though Arthas only played a negative role in Duque's heroic return, the destruction he caused in Lordaeron had yet to be fully recovered.
Lordaeron, Silverymoon, Dalajan, Torrential Fortress … So many capitals had been destroyed or fallen one after another. Even today, nine years later, not every capital city had been rebuilt. At the very least, the bitter Stormgardians were still seeking funding from the Alliance to rebuild Torrential Fortress.
The pain that the Scourge Army had left on the Alliance was too deep.
If the countries of the Alliance could barely tolerate the Forgotten Ones, it was because the Forgotten Ones promised not to take the initiative to kill and turn the dead into immortals.
The Scourge Army was absolutely intolerable.
Because the Lich King wanted to kill all the living beings in the world and turn the whole planet into a world of death.
Arthas was definitely the public enemy of all living beings.
Now that the Alliance was forced to fight everywhere, they had no time to care about the Scourge Army.
Not having time to care about it didn't mean that they had forgotten it.
With the permission of the Wyrmrest Shrine in Northrend's Dragonbone Wilderness, the Alliance, led by MI7 of Stormwind City, had sent core intelligence agents to actively explore Northrend in the Northern Continent over the years, using special magic tools filled with death aura as a cover.
Many excellent spies had been sacrificed, and even those spies had become assassins of the Scourge Army in the blink of an eye, causing trouble for MI7.
But the sacrifice was worth it. Apart from basically exploring every place in Northrend except Icecrown Fortress, MI7 found the second of the three Bronzebeard brothers, Muradin Bronzebeard, under the seemingly vague but actually extremely clear guidance of a certain psychic surnamed Du.
Sure enough, just like in history, he was temporarily brain-disabled by Arthas, who had not yet completely fallen, and lost his memory. Then, he was rescued by one of the natives of Northrend, the Ice Dwarf. Then, with a shake of his body, he beat up the Ice Giant and became the publicly elected boss of the Ice Dwarves.
Now that this matter had alarmed Magni Bronzebeard, the Dwarf King abandoned his own country, and led a small fleet led by the Heaven-Breaker to the Whispering Coast of Lordaeron. This was because the ship that would pick up Muradin would be there soon.
The veins on Magni's fists were bulging, and his exact words were, "Amnesia? It doesn't matter, I will give an iron fist of love to that rascal who can even forget his own brother. I guarantee he'll remember everything. "
Originally, Magni wanted to fly directly to Noscent, but the problems with the flying battleship forced him to give up on that plan.
The Iron Furnace Castle itself was in a world of ice and snow. The Dwarves' products were only slightly less effective in the heat, but they also had enough anti-freezing equipment.
The problem was that the device was suitable for -10 degrees Celsius, but it would fail at -40 degrees Celsius. This was not a problem that could be solved with antifreeze oil. If the Alliance wanted to attack Noscent's Ice Crown Fort, all their heavy equipment couldn't be used.
In other words, forcefully attacking meant sacrificing human lives.
It would be great if the tribe was willing to be the vanguard.
It was true that the Alliance was under a lot of pressure in terms of food and economy. As long as the Horde did not start a war with the Alliance and continued to be hostile to the Cataclysm, it would be a good bet.
There were three rich countries with the most surplus food in the Alliance:
Lordaeron, who purified the Eastern Plaguelands and revived the Tirisfal Glades.
New Alterac, who opened up the Hillsbrad Plains and took over thousands of miles of fertile land during the Second Battle of the Dark Portal.
Stormwind, who owned the Western Plains (formerly the Western Wilderness), Elven Forest, and the three major grain-producing areas in the north of Stranglethorn Vale.
Due to the principle of proximity, the food transported to the Outer Regions was basically provided by Stormwind. Stormwind was already having a hard time.
However, Kalia took the lead to settle the food for the Horde immigrants. Due to the principle of advancing and retreating together, Ilusia made the decision on the spot. With the support of the three major grain-producing countries.
The Alliance's decision was also passed.
"Next question." William heaved a sigh of relief. "Due to the large number of Orc immigrants crossing the border, there is still enough food in the Outer Regions for a short period of time. My logistics minister told me that the food shortage in a month's time is estimated to be no less than 300,000 tonnes. "
This question made the leaders of the Alliance frown.
The Dark Portal couldn't be opened for a long time. This was because teleportation meant a huge loss of energy.
Where did the energy come from?
After the Cursed Land became a barren wasteland, the energy to open the Teleportation Portal basically came from the Outer Regions. The Dark Portal absorbed the surrounding energy to maintain itself.
This formed a paradox: if they wanted to increase their supplies, they needed more energy. Absorbing more energy might cause Draenor's collapse to accelerate.
If they were not careful, they would lose everything, and everyone in the Outer Regions would die together.
Moreover, before the Orcs were completely evacuated, the Horde would not allow the Alliance to destroy Draenor. Otherwise, they would not hesitate to start a war.
At this moment, Vashj, who was beside Duque, raised her hand gently and requested to speak.
"Va … Celaika, go ahead." Duque called out Vashj's name.
"The Storm Nagas can supply a portion of the food from the Outer Regions. Because there is no pollution in the Serpent Lake, the polluted water has already been drained to the swamp further west through the pipes. If we were to release the harvesting … "Vashj glanced at Tyrande and changed her words." If we can ensure a sustainable supply, the Storm Nagas can provide 200,000 tonnes of unpolluted fish to the surrounding four regions every month. "
"What about further?" William asked.
"The fish will rot."
Duque pondered for a moment. "Under the premise that we don't fish out all the fry, what is the maximum output of Zangarmarsh per month?"
"500,000 tonnes." Vashj's answer made the big shots of the Alliance gasp in surprise.
Duque decided. "400,000 tonnes per month. Half of it will be supplied in the form of fresh fish, and the other half will be supplied by the Alliance to be salted into salted fish for the Horde's immigrants to eat."
No one would have thought that the Storm Nagas could actually solve the biggest food problem by relying on them. From the looks of it now, the Naga tribe had turned from the biggest obstacle to the biggest help. The Alliance had really profited.
"Wow, Duque, I really envy you. Let's see when the Wildhammer Dwarves will also take in a vassal race to play with? "Kudran Wildhammer laughed.
"You can take in the Harpies!" Duque's words killed Kudran.
Kudran's face turned green as he thought of the Harpies who would gang up on him because of the language barrier.
"Alright, let's stop joking. William, do you have any more questions? "
"One last question. It is impossible for our forces to fight at full strength on both fronts. If possible, I hope to cooperate with the Horde to solve the [Blade Peak] and [Nether Storm] regions first. "William pointed to the northern part of the Outer Regions' map.
