Chapter 507: Azeroth Alliance
With low morale, almost no magical support, no allies, and no defenses, King Varys of Stormwind faced the greatest crisis of his life.

Even though King Varian took the lead and led many nobles and their knights to resist stubbornly, this could not change the solution.

In just half an hour, the battle to destroy the Kingdom of Stormwind was over.

King Varian was unwilling to be captured and died on the spot. As for the remaining nobles, almost all of them were captured.

Although these nobles were captured, they did not realize that they were captives. They demanded that the Northern Alliance give them the aristocratic treatment they deserved and expressed their willingness to pay money to redeem themselves.

Seeing those chattering nobles in front of them, both Garithos and Lor’themar had blank expressions on their faces. In the end, Garithos gave a direct order to have all these people driven back to the prisoner-of-war camp and imprisoned.

“Stormwind City has already been destroyed, and these people are still asking for noble treatment!”

“Haha, when the orcs invaded, it was us in Lordaeron who took them in and sent out a large army to help them defeat the orcs!”

“And how did the Kingdom of Stormwind repay us?” Garithos taunted, “When we encountered the Scourge, Stormwind didn’t come to save us at all!”

“Not only did they not save us, they even sent an army through us to occupy our country!”

“This is Stormwind’s ‘repay’!”

“After killing someone who has done you a favor, there is no need to repay him, right?”

“Haha, this is Stormwind’s reward!” Garithos said with a sneer.

Lor’themar next to him also sneered:
“I heard that Stormwind was originally built by the Stonemasons Guild. When Stormwind was reduced to ruins, the king and nobles had no money to rebuild Stormwind, so they commissioned the Stonemasons Guild to build it.”

“As a result, after the Stonemasons Guild completed the construction of Stormwind City, the king and the nobles changed their minds and were unwilling to pay the Stonemasons Guild’s salary and the construction costs of Stormwind City!”

“Then, the two sides had a huge dispute over the salary issue. The Stonemasons Association’s demand for salary turned into a malicious demand for salary! An illegal demand for salary!”

“This is simply the biggest joke I have ever heard in the world!”

“These nobles and kings forced the stonemasons’ guild to stop asking for their wages, and later even expelled the stonemasons from the city.”

“A group of city builders built the city with their own money and food, but in the end, there was no place for them in such a big city.”

“What a great irony!”

“Such a country can still exist!”

Everyone sneered, “These greedy, stupid vampires actually want to be treated like nobles. They don’t deserve it at all!”

“Let them go to prison and reflect on their actions!” said Garithos.

“Marshal Garithos, I think we should hand these nobles over to Vanessa!” said Lor’themar.

“After all, as the daughter of the Stonemasons Guild back then, she has the right to take revenge on these people!”

“I think so!” Garithos nodded and said, “Come on, send someone to send all these nobles to Vanessa’s camp!”

“Yes, His Excellency the Marshal!” the messenger responded.

“By the way, what about the remaining dwarves, night elves and draenei?” asked Garithos.

In the recent battle, the dwarves, night elves, and draenei did not interfere in the war between them, and Garithos just ordered not to attack them.

Now the two sides are just confronting each other, and no fighting has taken place.

“The dwarves can fight for it. Although the night elves have parted ways with us high elves, we just have different philosophies. It doesn’t involve any life-and-death feud.”

“As for the Draani, they are also the backbone of the resistance against the Burning Legion. Let’s see if they are willing to maintain peace!”

Lor’themar said that Richard told him all this information, and then let Lor’themar make his own judgment.

After listening to this, Garithos nodded slightly. After destroying the Kingdom of Stormwind, he did not want to mobilize troops anymore. After all, the Kingdom of Lordaeron had been through a long period of war and the country was now in a mess.

They need to recuperate and restore their strength to deal with the next Burning Legion.

The Burning Legion is Azeroth’s biggest enemy. They must unite all the forces they can to fight the Burning Legion.

After the battle against the Scourge, all races on Azeroth realized the power of the Burning Legion.

Therefore, Garithos did not intend to kill all the dwarves, night elves and draenei, but was ready to negotiate with them.

The next step was the negotiation between the Northern Alliance and these three forces. On the other hand, after Garithos handed the nobles over to Vanessa, Vanessa immediately held an unusual parade, allowing these nobles to enjoy the enthusiasm of the Stormwind civilians.

Then these nobles came to the square of Stormwind City. Vanessa sent someone to tell them all the things these nobles had done, and then directly ordered all the nobles to be hanged on the street lights in the Stormwind Royal City.

The civilians who came to watch kept cheering.

At the same time, Vanessa also announced that the titles of all nobles in Stormwind would be abolished, and all the land of these nobles would be confiscated and then distributed equally among all civilians.

In Stormwind City, neither Garithos nor Lor’themar had any intention of occupying it for a long time. Lordaeron had too few people. Even if it was given to him, with the population of Lordaeron, it would soon become a foil to Stormwind City.

After all, Lordaeron suffered too much population loss. Even though Stormwind City had experienced a war of annihilation, its population was still larger than that of Lordaeron.

If they want to occupy Lordaeron, they must move the capital here, but if they do so, the population of Lordaeron will decrease. In the end, Lordaeron will be assimilated by Stormwind.

So Garithos has no intention of occupying this place, and the elves have even less idea about it.

In the end, the Stormwind Kingdom was handed over to Vanessa, who planned to rebuild a kingdom here. As for what it would be called, she hadn’t decided on a name yet.

However, she has already planned to build a country that is completely different from the previous one. This country will no longer enfeoff nobles, and will exempt various taxes and levies. Taxes will be redistributed. The taxes on ordinary civilians will be reduced, and the taxes on merchants and other wealthy people will be increased.

She wanted to build the kind of country her mentor had described to her.

Richard didn’t comment on Vanessa’s idea. It didn’t matter if Vanessa failed in the end. After all, how bad could the lives of these ordinary people be?

Can it be worse than Stormwind before?

The Kingdom of Stormwind has completely become history.

Garithos did not occupy Stormwind City. Instead, after signing an alliance with the dwarves, shadow elves, and draenei to fight against the Burning Legion together, he began to lead his army back to Lordaeron.

Of course, Garithos did not take nothing away. Although he did not occupy the city, he took away one third of the gold, silver, jewelry, weapons and armor of the nobles in the city.

At the same time, he also recruited 100,000 refugees from Stormwind City and prepared to bring them back to Lordaeron.

Others also agreed to Lordaeron’s recruitment of refugees. Garithos was also very satisfied, as 100,000 people was already the limit for Lordaeron at the moment.

If there were any more, Lordaeron, which was in the process of rebuilding, would not be able to absorb it.

As for the high elves, they also took away one third of the wealth and did not recruit any people from here.

After all, high elves and humans are two different races.

After conquering Stormwind City, Quel’Danas and the army of Lordaeron retreated.

Garithos and Quel’Danas also reached an alliance with the country that Vanessa was planning to establish.

Up to now, the strength of the original alliance has expanded rapidly.

Vanessa, who inherited the legacy of the Stormwind Kingdom, began to build an army to enhance her own strength.

After Richard conquered Stormwind Kingdom, he left and returned to Quel’Danas Island. The island has become very busy now.

Richard optimized all the rune arrays set up by the high elves, and a large number of rune arrays needed to be improved and rearranged.

At the same time, Richard also began to carry out in-depth strengthening and transformation of Quel’Danas Island. According to the high elves’ idea, the entire island can fly. However, the high elves did not carry out professional hardening of the island.

The material of the island is rock, and the entire island is very large. If it is used as a spacecraft, it is very likely that cracks will appear on the island or even damage will occur.

There is a big difference between floating islands and floating cities. The base of floating cities is basically hardened by hardening. Therefore, the base of floating cities is much harder than steel.

The base of the island in front of them was just reinforced rock, which was in no way comparable to a floating city, so at Richard’s suggestion, the entire island needed to be hardened using hardening magic.

So a large number of high elves began to cast hardening magic on the entire island. If there were not tens of thousands of mages among the high elves, such a large project would have been difficult to carry out.

On the other hand, Richard also established a life stabilization system on this island. The environment of the astral plane is different from that of the material plane, so it is necessary to use magic to transform into a suitable environment. If this cannot be done, this floating island will just be a floating island and will not be able to become a starry battleship.

Richard handed over all the air circulation system array, water circulation system array, element circulation array, botanical garden, ecosystem and other technologies to the high elves, asking them to build them.

Only with these ecological circulation systems and biosphere technologies can the island of Quel’Danas become a floating city that can truly travel into the astral plane.

Compared to Richard’s floating city, the area of ​​this floating island is several times that of his floating city. It requires more manpower. If there are not enough high-level elf wizards, this project is likely to take decades or even hundreds of years.
