MTL - Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid-Chapter 298 banner

When Calia knocked on the door of her brother's room, what she saw was a dissatisfied Arthas.

"what are you doing?"

Arthas patiently showed his sister the holy deed he held in his hand.

"I must perceive the Holy Light as soon as possible, so that I can become a powerful Paladin."

Not everyone is qualified to be a paladin. It not only requires mastering advanced combat skills, but also has to be accepted by the Holy Light. Of course, there are always exceptions. As the prince of Lordaeron and a student of Uther, Arthas was allowed to enjoy the holy deed in advance to help him perceive the holy light.

Calia knew that Arthas was being stimulated, and after hesitating for a while, she did not enter her brother's room. Arthas now has his own mind, and is not a good object to talk to.

Shortly after returning to the residence, Calia heard from the maid a piece of news that made her blush, Terenas proposed that she and Li De make a marriage contract.

The ignorant girl still didn't know how to deal with this matter. She couldn't talk to her younger brother, so she decided to go to Jaina.

……

"Your Majesty Terenas, why didn't Princess Calia come, is there any discomfort?"

In the group activity the next day, Li De was beside Terenas and saw only a reluctant Arthas, so he asked a little strangely.

"Haha, the girl is shy, I'm embarrassed to see you."

Terenas said with a smile, this made Li De somewhat unable to answer. After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth to the other party.

"Your Majesty Terenas, I thought about it for a whole night last night. Princess Calia is too young now, and facing her, I always have a feeling of looking down on the younger generation. To have a marriage contract with a little girl of this age, I am morally honest. hard to accept."

Hearing Li De say this, Terenas felt a little regretful, but the good news is that Li De did not completely die.

"Well, maybe I'm too anxious. Calia is really young now, so please give her a few more years to grow up."

'Why should I give her a few more years to grow up? ’

Li De thought with a wry smile, he knew that Terenas wasn't giving up yet. But now it's finally over, Li De doesn't want his plan to be unreasonable.

It's just that once Li De refuses to talk about his relationship, the only thing he can talk about with Terenas is pure interest.

Today's event has completely turned into a rehearsal for the meeting. During lunchtime, Terenas casually asked Reed a question.

"Li De, what are your plans for this war reparation?"

Terenas knew about Li De's ability to engage in tandem, so instead of letting him do small tricks, it's better to lift the lid now.

Reed did not directly answer Terenas' question.

"In this war, I have an impression that our alliance's ability to produce steel is not as good as Kezan."

This sentence has resonated with all countries. Except for the magical city-state of Dalaran, steel is a very important strategic resource for all countries. Whether it is the production of tools or weapons, a large amount of steel is required.

"Since the establishment of Hanhai Duhu, the experience accumulated in the past few years is that the more concentrated the resources are, the higher the production efficiency of steel will be.

So I plan to concentrate the strength of several of our countries, build a large industrial area to produce steel, and then distribute the steel produced to the countries according to its share. "

Speaking of which, the leaders also understand.

"You mean that the money will not be divided directly, but will be developed into a steelmaking plant belonging to the alliance?"

When Terenas asked, Li De nodded.

"So where do you plan to build this industrial area?"

Thorbane asked a question that he was most concerned about. In the entire kingdom continent, Stromgarde had the worst traffic conditions, so in many issues of benefit distribution, Stromgarde was often the worst.

"According to my opinion, the industrial area is most suitable to be built in Alterac."

The answer given by Li De was beyond the expectations of many people. Everyone thought that Li De would propose to build the industrial zone in the Duhu of the Sea. Of course, if he proposed this, the other kings would definitely not agree.

"From the perspective of land, Alterac is the transportation hub of the alliance countries, and it is also adjacent to the port of South Sea Town, whether it is Kul Tiras or the southern kingdom of Stormwind, it can be radiated.

And considering the issue of fairness, the furthest away will provide most of the managers and technicians, and we are obviously more experienced in this regard. "

Li De's arrangement did take into account fairness as much as possible, and his proposal was also supported by Lothar, Daelin, and Varian. The entire alliance really needed more steel, so the countries finally accepted this proposal.

"But what standard should the produced steel be distributed according to?"

Greymane asked at this time.

"This is what we should talk about tomorrow. In my vision, it will be distributed according to two sets of criteria. One is 'distribution according to needs' and the other is 'distribution according to shares'.

As for how to divide the 1 million gold coins, we have not yet made it clear. Although it is determined that this money should be pooled to develop steel, it should always be clear how much each country should share. At that time, this number will be the shares of each country in the steel plant. "

Li De, who had been prepared for a long time, was able to deal with various problems calmly, and finally achieved a result that was acceptable to all parties.

……

The next day, the talks officially opened in the auditorium of the administrative district.

The flags of the eight nations of the Terran Alliance were also erected at the venue, namely: the "DL Flag" of Lordaeron, the "Lion Flag" of Stormwind Kingdom, the "Eye of Violet" of Dalaran, and the "Eye of Violet" of Stromgarde. "Iron Fist Flag", Alterac's "Flying Eagle Flag", Gilneas' "Iron Hook Flag", Kul Tiras' "Anchor Flag", and Hanhai Duhu's "Six Rings Concentric Flag".

These eight flags symbolize the qualities of eight countries.

Lordaeron is the first country in the history of the human race to be named after the continent of Lordaeron in the known world. The "DL flag" represents the ambition of the Lordaeron people in the world.

The Kingdom of Stormwind is a country established by the old people of Arathor in a desperate situation, and the "lion flag" represents the arrogance of the Kingdom of Stormwind.

As a magical city-state, Dalaran, the "Eye of Violet" represents the endless curiosity of mages.

After most people gave up their old places, Stromburg silently guarded the old times. The "Iron Fist Flag" is the proof of their tenacity.

Alterac, an alpine country, once defeated trolls in ancient times and gave birth to many excellent generals. The "Flying Eagle Flag" represents the plateau culture of the Alterac people.

Gilneas is the first settlement established in the coastal area in the history of the human race. The human race's exploration of the wider world of the ocean has started from then on. Part of the meaning of the "Iron Hook Flag" comes from the hook.

Kul Tiras can best understand that they are a mature marine civilization, and the "anchor flag" also symbolizes that the shallow sea of ​​the human race has gone deep blue.

Gu Yang

As for the "six-ring concentric flag" of the Hanhai Protectorate, it was actually a flag that was collected from all circles of the Hanhai Protectorate after the decision to hold alliance talks here since the end of the Kezan War.

Due to the haste, Li De participated in several meetings of the alliance, but the Hanhai Protector did not come up with a decent flag, and the overall ring shape of this flag is a tribute to Stonehenge, which shaped the cultural beliefs of Hanhai. Six concentric The circle refers to the six origin powers, symbolizing the inclusiveness of the Protector of the Ocean.

Under these eight banners, a result was negotiated on the distribution of the 1 million war reparations.

The Huanhai Protector and Kul Tiras contributed the most in the war, while Lordaeron provided the most logistical support, and the contributions of the other countries were roughly equal.

Therefore, in the industrial zone established with this money, the Huanhai Duhu and Kul Tiras each hold 18% of the shares; Lordaeron holds 14% of the shares, and the other five countries each hold 10%.

Li De, who has completed the distribution of benefits, will start the construction work in Alterac under the supervision of various countries. But before that, Li De has to fulfill his promise with Varian.

……

After the teleportation array, he set off from the Huanhai Duhu to Alterac, then transferred from Alterac to the Kingdom of Stormwind, and finally boarded the ship from the Kingdom of Stormwind to the outer sea in the south of Stranglethorn.

At this time, the Alliance fleet was still besieging Booty Bay, and Rivigaz was still stubbornly resisting inside.

"Duhu Li De, are we going to wait for the Kul Tiras fleet to arrive, and then forcefully take Booty Bay?"

Varian asked curiously, Li De only brought three guards on this trip, and he really couldn't think of how to convince Rivigaz.

"The war has been fought on and off for several years, and the soldiers have long felt war-weary. Now that the war has finally ended, the effect may not be very good if it continues.

Let’s go to the ceremony first, then the soldiers. I’ll go talk to that guy Rivegaz first. If the problem can be solved by negotiation, don’t use the means of war. "

Li De said, Varian said with some concern.

"Are you going in with these two people? I'm afraid it's not good for your safety."

"Ha, don't worry, it will be very safe for me to go this time."

After speaking, Li De looked at the three guards he brought with him.

"Ander, you'll be by my side in a while."

Ander German nodded. He was the most powerful among the ten elite warriors in the early days of Duhu Huan, and even in terms of skill, he was on a par with Li De. It's just that compared with the same period, Ander, the most capable, has never found his suitable position.

During the Battle of Tanaris, Li De was injured due to Viri's negligence. Although Li De did not blame him later, Veri was eventually transferred from the guard position and transferred Ander back to his side.

Of course, among the entourage this time, Ander is not the most important. Compared with the other two Anders, the significance is greater than the reality.

"Anachronos, Buck, you can lift the transmutation spell. Whether today's negotiation is successful or not depends on whether your front-end fight is successful."

The bronze guard with blond hair and Buck with red hair nodded at the same time, and changed back to their adult dragon forms. A golden light and a blazing fire suddenly appeared in the sky above Booty Bay!

"what!"

Varian was taken aback. Although the relationship between the alliance and the giant dragon was already very close, he also knew that there was a giant dragon under Li De's command, but seeing a "person" so close so close , a first for Varian.

The appearance of the giant dragon caused panic in Booty Bay. Rivegaz hid in the fortress with a telescope, and murmured,

"Come, come, the dragon is finally here..."

Two adult dragons hovered over the bay, and their loud voices made every goblin in the bay heard clearly.

"In order to achieve true peace in Azeroth, the friend of the four dragon kings, the leader of the Alliance's Huanhai Protector, the Dragon Whisperer, Li De Victory, on the premise of not giving up the use of force, kindly gives you a Opportunity for negotiation. Please recognize the situation clearly, accept the status quo of the actual surrender of Kezan, and surrender to the alliance as soon as possible!"

After Kezan surrendered, the dragon had no legal reason to continue attacking the goblins. But Anachronos was ordered by Nozdormu alone, so he stayed by Li De's side. As for Buck, it was purely because of his friendship with Li De.

The appearance of the two of them put a lot of psychological pressure on the people in Booty Bay.

"Damn it! Isn't the giant dragon not going to shoot at the goblins!"

Rivigaz gritted his teeth and said that at this time he received a report that a small sailboat appeared outside the bay, and two people stood on the deck requesting to enter the port for negotiation.

"Li De...let them in."

Livygaz gave instructions with a gloomy face. Once upon a time, because of the business activities of Huanhai Duhu in the kingdom, he squeezed his market share and made him see Li De as a thorn in the flesh.

But it's only been so long, and the opponent's strength and status are beyond his reach.

If it wasn't for a war, he really wanted to communicate with this competitor he had never met. But now, Rivigaz's heart is mixed.

'From the outside, this guy doesn't look that good. ’

After seeing Li De, Rivigaz was still a little unconvinced and thought ~www.novelbuddy.com~ Trade Prince Rivigaz, I have long admired your name, I am here to give you a way out. I hope you can accept the contents of the Kezan surrender letter and give up resistance to surrender. "

Li De didn't have so much time to argue with the other party, so he directly expressed his attitude as soon as he came up.

"Impossible! According to the surrender letter, I have to pay 240,000 gold coins! Don't even think about expecting me to spend so much money!"

On the surface, Rivigaz was quite stubborn.

"Is this really the case? Do you want me to settle an account for you, accept the contents of the surrender letter, and you can continue to do business immediately, and you can slowly earn back the money you lost.

Continue to resist, you can't do business under the blockade of the alliance, you can only lose more.

It's nothing more than the loss of money. The alliance can't get it. Such a zero-sum game is not in line with the goblin's thinking. How many goblins are you willing to run into the dark with you?

The longer you stay in a stalemate, the worse it will be for you. "

Rivigaz lowered his head and weighed, but he has not given up his fantasy until now.

"The Alliance can't block me! Behind Booty Bay is the rich Stranglethorn Vale. The big deal is that I give up the port here and retreat to the jungle!

The coastline of Stranglethorn Valley is so long, I have the opportunity to build the next good port, the Alliance can't block me!

On the contrary, I will block the alliance. As long as we are still here for one day, I guarantee that you will not get a single palm fiber! Let's hold on to see who can't hold on first! "

Facing Li De, Rivigaz finally showed his trump card.
