Many people thought that fighting a war was a tough job.
No, in fact, rebuilding after the war was a tough job.
Thanks to Dudian's planning and ruthlessness, the number of Orcs that were captured was far fewer than in history. No one knew exactly how many Orcs there were. Perhaps even Orgrim himself didn't know how many Orcs had come to Azeroth through the Dark Portal.
There were many illiterates among the Orcs, so the number of Orcs that came to the World of Azeroth was generally counted by clans.
Anyway, there were no less than a million Orcs that came to the World of Azeroth.
Other than the twenty thousand or so Orcs who had followed Kilrogg Deadeye, Kargath and the other chiefs to flee in panic, most of the Orcs had perished here. As for the captives, there were only 25,000 people.
In history, there were more than 200,000 Orc captives.
Just based on the knight's creed of not killing captives, they had to build shelters for these captives and feed them to these gluttonous people. This caused the finances of both the Dalajan and Stormgard to collapse.
Most importantly, the Orc captives didn't buy it.
In the following years, when the power of the Devil's Blood gradually faded from the Orcs' bodies, they became less violent and dangerous. Some of the moronic philanthropists who didn't experience the first and second Dark Portal completely disregarded how these Orcs had massacred villages and cities in the human world, and how much damage they had caused. Instead, they cried out for the Orcs who had been oppressed and enslaved by the humans.
Of course, there was no such problem now.
25,000 Orcs who had lost their will to fight. This was a standard that almost any of the 11 countries in the alliance could handle.
Moreover, according to Duque's suggestion, other than the broad-minded Rotterdam who was willing to accept 15,000 of them, the rest would be shared equally by the countries that didn't suffer serious losses. They would either provide money or manpower to build a shelter for the captives.
Duque's family planning policy package for the Orcs was also passed by a large margin during the Throne Conference.
Just like in history, the alliance finally decided to build a total of three small shelters in the Hillsbrad Hills and Arathi Highlands.
Duque got Laing to agree to lend all of Stormwind's ships to Daelin temporarily, as Daelin wanted to bring a large force to Stranglethorn Vale to cause trouble for the Goblins and the Blackwater Pirates. It was because of these greedy goblins that the Horde had a large number of warships, almost causing the Alliance to fall.
Perhaps he wouldn't start an all-out war with the gnomes yet, but he would at the very least extract a shocking amount of reparations from these deranged gnomes' pockets that would make them ache for many years.
In exchange, Daelin transferred almost all of Kul 'Tiras' civilian merchant ships and cargo ships to Stormwind to support Stormwind's restoration.
In this era, reviving a kingdom with millions of people was not an easy task. Even though Duque had Edwin van Cleef make preparations long before the invasion of the Southern Continent, and even before the main army had landed in Stormwind City, Edwin van Cleef had already prepared the materials needed to rebuild Stormwind City.
It just so happened that Stormwind City was completely destroyed, and the Orc clan that controlled Stormwind City was a bunch of unromantic bastards. They tore down almost every wooden pillar in the city to make a fire, and piled up the stones to make a stable. The entire old Stormwind City, with the exception of Stormwind Fortress, was basically demolished. It needed to be completely rebuilt.
Rebuilding Stormwind City, as well as over a hundred residential areas in the Elven Forest and Twilight Forest, was definitely a huge project.
Of course, it was not something that could be completed in a short period of time.
Logically speaking, as an expert in internal affairs, Duke should be busy from dawn to dusk, unable to deal with anything.
However, most of the time, the higher-ups of Stormwind could only see the figure of Duque's butler, Makarov. This mercenary butler had become the number one representative of Duque in handling Stormwind City's internal affairs. The rebuilding of Stormwind City was handed over to the Mason Brotherhood led by van Cleef.
More than once, Laing asked where Duque was, but each time, he only knew that Duque was walking around in his own fief, and did not know what he was doing.
As for Duque, Laing and Andoine doted on him to the point of letting him do whatever he wanted. They would never order Duque to do something. Seeing that most of Duque's people were busy rebuilding Stormwind City, they let Duque do whatever he wanted.
What was Duque doing?
It was mid-December, and many places in the Eastern Kingdom were very cold. The Elven Forest was considered a relatively warm area. It was not spring all year round, but the temperature was around 18 degrees Celsius, which was a suitable temperature for a hot spring.
In the East Elven Forest's Stone Monument Lake, near the large lake that had been renamed Windwalk Lake, Sylvanas was rushing through the forest.
"That bastard Duque! He has no self-awareness as a Grand Duke. Every time I want to find him, I don't know where he is. "Sylvanas was full of complaints.
With the surrender of the Orcs and the restoration of the Stormwind Kingdom, Duque's title of Grand Duke suddenly became true. As the price for poaching the Windrunner Family from Cuel Salas, Duque gave a large piece of land to the three Windrunner sisters.
From the moment she got the land back, Sylvanas became an official Countess of the Eastern Twilight Forest.
Sylvanas did not even get to enjoy the luxury and happiness of a noble for half a day before she was immediately shocked by the tragic state of her fief. Night Town had to be rebuilt, and more than a thousand people had to be settled. It was said that there were more than 3,000 people of Night Town in Hillsbrad, anxiously waiting for the ship to arrive, and rushing back to their former homes for the winter.
After knowing what the new year meant to humans, Sylvanas was frantic.
She had complained to Duque before, but Duque had dismissed her with the rule that a Lord could not directly deal with the people of the Lord under him.
Now, the complicated internal affairs were driving her crazy.
Who knew that when she got close to the hot lake, her sharp ears would suddenly prick up, and she would hear some terrible sounds.
"Mmm … Mmm … Ah …"
His sister's sweet murmurs made Cirvanas blush to his ears.
"Bastard! Here in broad daylight … Hmph! "No matter what, Sasha was still her third sister.
Cirvanas was also depressed to death. Ever since the kiss in front of everyone at the Door of Darkness, his eldest and third sisters had completely fallen for it. She would not become infatuated, but staying with her sisters and hearing them talk about Duque all day, Sylvanas was really annoyed. That was why she dragged her fourth sister to the Twilight Forest.
They had wanted to wait for Sasha to finish her business, but half an hour had passed, and there was no sign of her stopping. Queen Sylvanas could not take it anymore. She shot a whistling arrow in an obvious arc and hit the surface of the lake, causing water to splash everywhere.
