Ranger King of Azeroth

Chapter 77 The Status Quo of the Eastern Continent

Farstriders left Quel'Thalas to travel around. It was already common for the rangers stationed at the Salas Trail at the southern exit of the forest. Charlemagne and Aurelia were allowed to go out without any accidents.

Because it was directly teleported to the city of Stratholme last time, this is the first time that Charlemagne actually set foot on the land of East Lordaeron.

This area will be called the Plagueland because of the plague in the future, and you can still see green fields everywhere, and the fertile land nourishes the population of millions in the entire Lordaeron region.

The Eastern and Western Plaguelands of later generations are now collectively referred to as the East Tirisfal Forest, which is responsible for producing a large amount of food. The Rivendell family, the lords stationed in Stratholme, an important town in Eastern Lordaeron, is also one of the largest in the Kingdom of Lordaeron. noble.

After entering the territory of Lordaeron, Charlemagne and Alleria headed southwest all the way. If I remember correctly, there should be an outpost to which the Farstriders belonged—Quellings Hut.

"Hey? Is this your new weapon? I've heard about Thoridar a long time ago, so it looks like this."

After passing the checkpoint in the southern part of Eversong Forest, the two slowed down the chocobos temporarily, and began to appreciate the vibrant scene around them.

A few days ago, because the two had been busy with various affairs before the trip, Charlemagne had no time to introduce his new partner to Aurelia. Only then did Aurelia find the opportunity to ask about the magic weapon on her lover's back. Lidal Starfury.

"Well, after a period of proficiency, I finally mastered it, but I'm afraid it will take time to fully control it."

Under Alleria's curious eyes, Charlemagne simply untied Solidar and handed it to her.

After observing it, the female elf pulled the bowstring for a test. She was a little amazed at Thoridar's special ability.

"As expected of an artifact treasured by the royal family, using it should bring you a lot of extra bonuses, right?"

The lover's envious eyes made Charlemagne feel a little amused, and he knew that the female ranger's strong nature had flared up again.

"Indeed, but sooner or later you will inherit the Sasdora from your mentor, and you will not lag behind me in terms of weapons."

"Hmph! Of course, I won't be left behind by you not only in terms of weapons, but also in terms of strength. If you relax, don't blame me for ruthlessly surpassing you!"

The proud and confident look of the female elf made Charlemagne a little fascinated for a while, and it was such an independent Alleria that attracted him so much.

Of course, this does not mean that Aurelia lacks femininity. Charlemagne dares to assert that when she should be gentle and considerate, she can melt people... Ahem.

The two chatting along the way found an elf-style building complex on a distant forest highland after several days of riding.

Along the way, they occasionally encountered passing caravans and human farmers working beside the fields.

For these humans living on the border of Quel'Thalas, elves are rare, but this is not the first time they have seen them. They greeted the two with a cordial attitude when they passed by.

After all, although Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas have no official contacts, they still maintain friendly contacts among the people.

Otherwise, how could a human spirit like Terenas allow the high elves to set up an outpost in their own territory. Although it was established by folk rangers and far travellers, they are also foreigners after all.

In fact, Lordaeron has long thought of building a good relationship with Quel'Thalas. After all, many products produced by the high elves are very popular in the human kingdom. Not interested.

Speaking of the Seven Kingdoms of Man, Alleria told Charlemagne some of the information she obtained during her trip.

"The Kingdom of Stormwind and Lordaeron are located at the northern and southern ends of the continent respectively, and each has a population of about 4-5 million. They are the two largest human kingdoms today."

"The Kingdom of Stormgard now has only a few remnants left behind at Stromgarde, with a population of only a few hundred thousand. Although the Kingdom of Outlander is small, they occupy the rich land of Hillsbrad Hills. with a population of over 2 million.”

"I have also heard about the country of Gilneas, because they have been pursuing an isolation policy since the last king, and trapped themselves in the southern part of Silverpine Forest and Gilneas City, so the population is only about 2 million."

"Because Kul Tiras is isolated overseas, although it is very rich, its population does not exceed 2 million. The last Daala is just a separate magic city-state, and its population is not as good as our high elves, only tens of thousands, but they No one dares to underestimate his fighting power, after all, this country has a large number of mages."

Including the more than 500,000 Bronzebeard dwarves and 300,000 dwarves mentioned by Alleria, and the unknown number of Wildhammer and Dark Iron dwarves, the power of the eastern continent is basically the same.

Of course, there are goblins scattered all over the place, but both Charlemagne and Aurelia tacitly ignored this group of unscrupulous green skins.

Charlemagne knew very well that if he had to count, the Kingdom of Stormwind, which had the guardian Medivh, was definitely stronger at this time. However, the first human kingdom was quickly defeated by the orcs after the Dark Portal was opened.

Although there are many objective factors, such as the assassination of King Ryan, humans do not understand orcs, etc., but in terms of individual combat effectiveness, humans are indeed inferior to the extremely strong orcs after drinking the blood of demons, even the original brown-skinned orcs are the same Can't beat it.

Thinking that in the future, humans with a combined population of nearly 20 million will be beaten by tens of thousands of orc troops fighting among themselves and have to hold together for warmth, Charlemagne is worried about the high elves with only a few thousand troops.

Of course, having a population of 20 million does not mean that humans can mobilize millions of troops, so that without the orcs to fight, humans can eat themselves poor.

Usually the ratio of the army to the population will not exceed 100 to 1, which means that the number of troops that humans can dispatch at that time does not exceed 200,000.

Although the proportion of conscription was increased due to the heavy casualties of the war in the later period, it basically did not exceed the number of 200,000.

Faced with the human nations that could dispatch tens of thousands of troops at every turn, Charlemagne felt a little helpless about the fact that the elves only had thousands of troops.

Although there is an enchantment powered by the sunwell, it is not easy for the enemy to attack the core area of ??Quel'Thalas, but history has proved the weakness of this enchantment...

First of all, when the orcs invaded, Gul'dan directly corrupted the rune stone that was the cornerstone of the enchantment, and when the natural disasters invaded, Dar'Khan came out to lead the way. It can be seen that the enchantment that the elves are proud of is not as indestructible as they thought.

Not to mention... Fengxing Village and Taquilin located in the south of the forest are not within the range of the enchantment, that is why Li Reza and Li Las died in the chaos of the orc war.

'Population... It seems that this time we go to the Broken Isles, we should try to recruit as many young men as possible. '
