There is only a wrong name but no nickname.
Why is Azeroth called World of Warcraft?
Of course it's because there are so many monsters...
Don't laugh, don't sneer, be serious.
There are so many creatures in Azeroth with magic-like abilities and above.
In terms of sheer number of rounds, probably only the world of Pokémon can compare with it.
Whether it was the magic gems dug out of the mines or the crystalline organoids obtained from hunting Warcraft, it was really difficult for Carlos to provide magic power for thousands of high elf mages in the face of the huge size of the alliance.
What stumped Carlos was precisely the monsters that could not be burned away by wildfire but regenerated by the spring breeze.
Even the Arathi Plateau, the origin of mankind, has not said that it has killed all the native monsters for hundreds of years.
Swarms of velociraptors, mountain kobolds, large raptors, giant arthropods, and various elemental creatures.
The theoretical territory is so large, but the actual control territory is so small. When it comes to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, human beings never give in to anyone.
If we reflect from another angle on why the Arathor Empire got involved in the war between the high elves and the trolls, can we think that Thoradin coveted the "body" of the Amani Empire?
Compared with the "dangerous" Arathi Plateau, Hillsbrad is hunted quite cleanly by trolls.
Applying game values, the level of monsters in Hillsbrad Foothills is between 24 and 30, while the level of monsters in Arathi is between 28 and 38.
There is no taste at all.
The history of human development is the history of blood and tears of Warcraft.
In the past, before the undead natural disasters came, nothing was a problem. The land with abundant water and grass was enough to bring disaster to the Seven Kingdoms. Opening up the frontier was a bottom-up behavior. The nobles did not take the initiative, did not stop, were not responsible, and only collected taxes. .
The Barov family pioneered Andorhal on a large scale, but they were forced by their in-laws. If they didn't pioneer, there wouldn't be enough food to eat.
However, the undead natural disaster came, half of the human world fell, and most of the land with abundant water and grass disappeared.
How to fix it?
Just tough it out.
Anyway, weapons and equipment are cheap now, and control is not strict during war. If you kill monsters, you can not only farm, but also eat meat. If you don't kill them, you can't kill them.
In the early days, it was this world full of Warcraft that fed Lordaeron's nearly two million refugees.
But when Kel'Thuzad started to disgust people, the Alliance was in big trouble.
Revenge of Warcraft!
A large number of wild animals infected with the undead plague were systematically driven to the Alliance-controlled territory by the Scourge.
The monsters whose habitats were taken away by humans gradually strengthened their abilities during the battle, became more dangerous, and began to fight for survival.
Pulling the camera up, it was like a picture of the evolution history of all kinds of creatures competing for freedom in the frost sky. When the angle of view went down, it was all about the slumped criticizing faces of the alliance officials.
"What? The track of the steam train was broken by the iron-jawed turtle again!"
"What? A large number of fishmen were found gathering in the sea outside Nanhai Town!"
"What? An individual Blue Bear Beast Battle King is suspected to have appeared in the Morigaoka area!"
This fucking thing is all about this and that.
Carlos's temples were beating faintly as he looked at the daily briefing.
No wonder no one before him thought of using the long-established steam technology to build a train.
Maintenance costs are really high.
The Ironjawed Turtle is not the only kind of monster that likes to eat metal. The Alterac Plateau section is not bad. Individual plateau monsters are stronger than their hill cousins, and the number of groups is relatively small. In the Hillsbrad area, all kinds of troubles abound. yes.
No wonder the Ironforge Alliance and Stormwind City’s understanding line was built under the sea in the end.
No, the early engineering plans for that line haven't even been made yet. It must have been because of the trouble caused by my group that the dwarves and gnomes of Ironforge gained engineering experience.
Kael'thas and Magni were chasing Kel'Thuzad in the sky. The Scourge of the Undead and the main force of the Alliance unanimously chose the fueling tactic to fix the battle line at the current location.
While Carlos continued to recruit troops and deal with the harried affairs of the alliance, he was waiting for the stocking up of campaign supplies.
You know, when the Second Orc War was fought, the alliance's frontline troops were only over 100,000, and it only cost about 100,000 gold coins to form a corps.
Looking at now, there are two battle clusters in the east and west, plus a barrier gate where the battle is endless. More than 300,000 soldiers are fighting bloody battles, and more than 300,000 soldiers are intensifying their training and formation.
The Alliance currently spends up to 700,000 gold coins every day just to maintain the existing army, not counting the equipment costs and personnel of the new legion.
Did humans become stronger after the fall of the Kingdom of Lordaeron?
How is that possible?
Counting the loss of one-third of the population in Stormwind City, more than half of the casualties in Lordaeron and Stormwind City were not included.
This level of population loss cannot be recovered in a decade or two.
This is also the main reason why Carlos wants to accumulate strength to make a final decision.
The current chicken blood of the alliance is largely aided by the undead and natural disasters.
The dead just want to bring everyone together to die, while the living just want to live.
It is the huge external pressure that has crushed today's alliance into a monolith.
Once the external pressure subsides, no one should boast about their high quality.
It was inevitable that government clerks would receive kickbacks and the military would take advantage of them, but everything was still within Carlos's tolerance, so he just pretended to be invisible.
Once time continues to drag on and the Lich King Ner'zhul figures it out and completely pollutes the Scourge's occupied areas into a plague land where humans cannot survive, the anti-war wave will begin.
Northern Expedition!
The material reserves are not enough!
Reserve it!
Where can we raise supplies if we don’t go on the Northern Expedition?
Then you go on the Northern Expedition!
You give me money!
Supporting the Northern Expedition and striving for the lead cost money and life!
…
Carlos shuddered when he thought about the future where the war was unfavorable and there was a high probability of this happening.
As the leader of a political-military complex that oversees a population of more than three million, Carlos has a daily briefing of 170 pages.
After flipping through the pages of documents and thinking about one thing, Carlos finally saw a piece of news that made him happy.
Turalyon has boarded the ship from Menethil Harbor and will return to Lordaeron soon.
Regarding the re-opening of the Dark Portal, Carlos has no worries.
Stormwind City used this incident to excuse the Alliance's request for troops, but also complained about the need for support. Carlos pretended not to see it at all.
But the return of the expeditionary force is good news after all.
Originally, in Carlos's plan list, after dealing with the undead natural disaster, he should go to the outer lands to pick up his old friends and go home.
After all, the briefing was just a briefing. Carlos had no idea what was happening on the other side of the Dark Portal in the distant cursed place.
But since Turayan chose to go north alone and left the expeditionary force temporarily in Stormwind City, Carlos had vaguely guessed something.
After flipping through the pages, a message caught Carlos' attention.
The dwarf pilot patrolled and discovered that a large number of yetis were gathering in the mountainous area north of Tarren Mill, confirming the existence of the Yeti King.
Placing the heavy briefing on the desk, Carlos rang the bell and summoned his attendant.
"Is the cleanup completed?"
"It's basically completed. Potential corrupt elements have been identified, corrupt and bribery individuals have been arrested, and the stolen goods and stolen money are being recovered."
As important production bases and transportation hubs, Tarren Mill and Nanhai Town can be said to be the two most important towns in Hillsbrad.
It happened that the intelligence agency discovered clues about Tarren Mir about the cursed sect and the huge corruption in the military, so Carlos came personally.
"Very well, gather the Guard members and distribute cold-proof clothing and mountain warfare equipment."
Carlos pulled out the information about the snowman from the briefing folder and handed it to the attendant.
"Then get my arcane axe, and tonight, Carlos joins the hunt!"
