King of Cards, King of Cards, why have you gone through so many years of not smelting steel and taking the road of farming and domineering?

Carlos looked at the problem Xiao Penyu with the most tender eyes.

Look at my mouth shape-shit.

On the way back to Alterac from the Hinterlands, Carlos naturally headed to Eagle's Nest Mountain and also dropped by to the processing plant in the depths of the snow forest.

Breathing the smell of fuel and oil fume, the bleak current situation completely cut off Carlos's idea of ​​"steel torrent".

No wonder the king of steel will become a conqueror before embarking on the path of redemption.

Relying on subjective initiative to develop industry really cannot save Azeroth.

The production of a steam tank requires 137,544 compact hand-polished parts, 327 dwarf blacksmiths for 41 days of intensive work, and 176 dwarf buses. Fifty-three days of assembly and debugging require 1,642 human workers to smelt raw materials, and nine intermediate-level mages are required to enchant materials throughout the process.

Without a great alliance, it would be a joke to rely on Alterac's more than 800,000 people to carry out an industrial revolution.

Carlos has indeed promoted the development of productivity for a long time, but with little success.

Three steel mills and two gold alchemy workshops are the best cards.

Then there was no more.

Any reform that breaks away from the grassroots is destined to be nothing more than a castle in the air.

The biggest manifestation of the industrial revolution is large-scale industrial production. The concentration of all seven million humans on the eastern kingdom mainland may be able to burst out a steampunk-style industrial revolution under the blessing of magic, such as the future Skyfire.

But in this situation, Carlos can only make this guarantee to his army: the sword and armor are enough.

Although this is a great achievement, it is useless.

Farming can't save Azeroth.

In these days of leaving, under the seemingly stable appearance of the Alliance of Lordaeron, it was the disintegration of people's hearts and the sudden turn of the situation.

Carlos finally realized that it was not the curse sect that ended the Alliance of Lordaeron, not the undead natural disasters, but the humans themselves.

The work of the Silver Dawn was seldom effective. The Cult of the Curse was justly hit by the Holy Light in the cultivation and spread of the plague. The plague of the undead has been contained in the deep forests far away from the human population.

But the Alliance of Lordaeron seems to have foreseen its end of life.

This military and political organization that once defended the ultimate human right to survival in the fight against the invasion of the orcs is losing its legitimacy and rationality.

The once unbreakable alliance is now on the verge of collapse.

Because of a drought that will not be mentioned in a game.

It’s not the kind of drought that swept across Azeroth. In the area north of Thoradin’s Wall, this summer harvest was a big harvest. Even the hardy crops on the Alterant Plateau were harvested very well in Chengdu, the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Food prices in China even hit a five-year low.

But correspondingly, Stromgarde, Ironforge, and Stormwind, these areas south of Thoradin's Wall, because of drought problems, a foreseeable famine seems inevitable.

When the southern regime tried to call for help from the coalition compatriots, it only discovered that the times seemed to have changed.

The political sequelae of Terenas' assassination seemed to show its terrifying side only at this time.

Quel'Thalas is currently in a state of substantial seclusion, and it is obviously impossible to expect to buy food from the high elves.

Although Gilneas did not formally sign the agreement, it has given up the silver pine forest territories disputed with the Kingdom of Lordaeron and has essentially left the alliance.

Dalaran is just a porter of magic and does not produce food. Alterant has always been on the edge of the warning line of food self-sufficiency, importing a large amount of living supplies every year.

So in fact, only the Kingdom of Lordaeron had food in hand.

But after Terenas Menethil II's physical condition deteriorated sharply, he did not have enough energy to deal with this problem.

However, Alsace, who had hoped to deal with this problem, went to sea.

What was originally a purely commercial issue became a serious political issue after being involved in the alternation of royal power.

Because of the turmoil of the Brotherhood of Masons, the Western Wilderness, which was once the main wasteland in the Irvine area, not only could not provide food to Stormwind, but even consumed a lot of supplies because of the garrison.

But what can you blame Varian Wrynn for?

His queen was stoned to death by the mob.

Terenas was short-lived, and all his limited energy was used to pave the way for Alsace's succession.

The so-called alliance meeting, everyone is responding, but no one is going to organize it.

Carlos realized that he had paid too much attention to the destruction of the curse sect before, ignoring the uncoordinated noise within the alliance.

The most terrible thing is that he has pulled more than 20,000 high-level elves immigrants from Erre'Thalas...

When Carlos thought of those 20,000 mouths to eat and drink, he didn't have the confidence to talk to his friends in the south about food trade.

This is called a personal life.

Prior to this, Carlos only hoped to awaken the sense of crisis in the alliance through limited damage, so as to write the leadership of the alliance.

But a drought tore apart the fragile ties within the alliance.

Carlos is not the only wise man, many people have seen the threat of the collapse of the alliance.

But what does this have to do with me?

Lordaeron's high lords and nobles have a great excuse, under the guise of Terenas, expecting to tear a piece of flesh from the compatriots in the south.

And Carlos was wrong because his son cheated his grandfather.

The only designated breaker is still floating at sea.

Although the food crisis will not break out so quickly, the crisis is destined to be just a crisis before the food stocks in various places are exhausted.

But Carlos did not dare to relax his vigilance against the cursed sect.

He has never forgotten that the biggest spread of the necrotic disease is the corruption of food.

Just when Carlos called the Silver Dawn to prepare for targeted prevention of possible plague rations, the bad news came.

The largest granary in Stratholme was maliciously set ablaze by gangsters, and at least enough rations for 10,000 people for a year were burned.

At the same time, there were granary fires from all over Lordaeron, and even Alterac area was no exception.

Carlos attaches great importance to this.

Although Alterac’s territory seems to be vast, it is actually divided into two parts: Hillblad area and Guy Erdalon-Anhaldor area, passing through Alterac Plateau Passage and Lordamire The waterway of the lake is connected.

At this sensitive moment, Carlos could not use Alterac Kingdom's political influence to do more things, and could only command the Silver Dawn to do what he could while watching the changes.

Then, the rumor that Lordaeron burned the grain to increase the price of grain spread widely in a very short period of time.

After a long time of anxiety, Carlos finally couldn't bear to say to Galiya: "I must go to Lordaeron to meet your father."
