Chapter 686 The Watch Castle Is Completed

Dark Portal October 16, 4.

This is a big day worthy of commemoration by the entire alliance, because this day announces the completion of the reconstruction of Stormwind City, the completion of the Watchfort responsible for monitoring the Dark Portal, and the completion of the more than 2,000 kilometers long, spanning four major regions, connecting Stormwind City and The railways at Keep Keep are all open to traffic.

It took two years to create so many things. Regardless of the manpower and material resources consumed, the entire alliance was shocked by such a short time.

"This is impossible!?" Terenas almost fell off the throne.

"No way! I just finished building the inner city here!" Solas, whose hometown was also demolished, looked at his one-size-smaller Stromgarde and smiled bitterly.

What’s even more funny is that Gilneas broke away from the alliance. After not abandoning Terenas to pursue a solo career, King Genn Greymane actually seemed to be in a daze, worried that the alliance with nearly ten kingdoms would violently interfere with Gilneas. internal affairs. Starting last year, it was equivalent to giving up the territory in the southern part of Silverpine Forest, and began to build the Greymane Wall along the terrain.

Jean's approach is a bit like when Emperor Thoradin built Thoradin's Wall in order to ensure the safety of the Arathi Highlands. It's just that the comparison between people is very annoying, so you have to throw away the goods!

Gilneas has just built a wall here, but it has been announced that the two cities will be completed at the same time.

Old Jean's face was really slapped and his face was red.

"This is impossible—how did that boy Duke do it?" Gene yelled from the throne.

"I heard that he boldly used goblins to help, and also brought in many huge arcane puppets."

"Goblin? Arcane puppet? Duke must be crazy!"

Don't blame Gene for saying that. Almost all the intelligent races on the continent have no favorable impressions of goblins. This group of guys who destroy but do not build will make the place a mess no matter where they go.

But, it also depends on how to use it.

No matter how unreliable the goblins are, there are a few things that the goblins are still at the forefront of the people of the world.

The first is the Goblin Timbersaw.

This huge robot is two people tall. Although its terrible fuel engine makes a harsh noise all day long and produces pungent smoke, the efficiency of the Goblin Woodcutter is far superior to that of all races. Not even the thick-armed, bucket-waisted orc peons can compete with these robots equipped with saw-toothed disc chainsaws on both arms.

The second is goblin gunpowder.

Don't think that goblins are just a bunch of guys who shout "explosion is art" and are very good at using gunpowder.

Another correct way to use goblins is to let them blow up mountains.

The ground in Elwynn Forest is mostly flat, and after paving gravel and sleepers, the rails will be very stable. Not starting from Redridge Mountain. There was originally only a narrow trail in the rugged Redridge Mountains.

To pass the train, it must be widened.

When Duke recited the mysterious spell that has always been used against goblins throughout the ages: "Gold coins! Gold coins! I will give you a lot of gold coins." After that, countless goblins shouted with red eyes, carrying explosive bags and went Rush up the mountain.

The continuous explosions could be heard clearly even in the Donggu logging camp dozens of kilometers away.

The crazy goblin had the momentum to blow up the rocks and himself into the sky. In three months, he blew up the canyon near the triangle intersection into a basin and the chasm into a thoroughfare!

According to the original agreement, after completion, Duke would pay more than 15 million gold coins for the cost of bombing the mountain. Every alliance boss would be frightened to hear this fee.

But an accident occurred one night just half a month before completion.

For some reason, a rumor leaked out. Alexstrasza, Queen of the Red Dragon, helped eliminate a big demon in the Cursed Land not long ago. It was also a thank you to the Red Dragon Legion for agreeing to station a small team of red dragons in the Cursed Land. Duke was The queen prepared a sum of up to 1 million gold coins in cash.

Then that night, several groups of goblins risked their lives to sneak into the cave where the queen temporarily lived, trying to steal the gold coins. As a result, the queen was so angry that she went on a rampage, went to the goblin camp, and burned nearly a thousand goblins. .

"Nah! In the spirit of a fair and just contract, I asked you to work for me. But you came to steal the money of the alliance's most important ally!? I hired workers, not thieves and liars!" Duke waved his hand. , let all the goblins go away.

Originally, the goblins were trying to argue about whether they could ask for half of their wages or something, but Alexstrasza next to them yelled, "Get out! If you keep talking nonsense, I will even burn your treasure bay!"

If you ask, what is the difference between goblin bosses and ordinary goblins who seek death? It is that goblin bosses have some brains at least. They know that goblins cannot afford to offend the red dragon. The only reason to blame is that they couldn't control those brainless guys who committed suicide and stole the Red Dragon Queen's treasure.

The queen's dragon power came down, and the goblins left in a hurry.

Then lightly, there is no need to give 15 million gold coins.

Several league leaders turned around and wondered, was Duke deliberately trying to hack the Goblin?

That's right! It's on purpose!

Goblins are a race that is greedy for money.

For moral integrity and other things, sell them if you give them money.

They can work for orcs, dragons, or fire elements. Whoever bids the highest price will be able to sell their previous employer in the next second.

Last year, Dailin took the Stormwind Kingdom's fleet, and the two fleets worked together to find trouble with the goblins in Booty Bay. They beat the goblins to the point of ceding land and paying compensation, and almost all the warships were handed over before the war was over.

After finally getting a big deal this year, the goblins spent almost all their gunpowder stocks. Who knew that except for the 1 million gold coins as a deposit, they would not receive even a single penny more. The goblins were really angry and aggrieved. Although they doubled the price of cheap black powder and added an extra zero when quoting, they still felt that they had been tricked by Duke this time. .

Well, Duke did trick them.

so what?

Even if they kill Duke, they won't let these bastards join the alliance, not to mention that in the original history, the goblins were from the tribe.

He kicked it away immediately after use, and the entire league was applauding.

To build Stormwind City and Nethergarde Keep at high speed, the last element is the arcane golem. These humanoid puppets that are over five meters tall are not a rare thing. They can be seen everywhere on the streets of Silvermoon City.

The puppet only needs a magic apprentice to control it, so it is quite easy to use. They work hard and can easily lift boulders weighing ten tons.

The core of the most solid outer city wall of the Watch Fortress was built by arcane puppets. They carried cut boulders and built them up piece by piece. One puppet could do the work of hundreds of people for a day.
