Stormwind Wizard God Chapter 908: Deal

Vol’jin bowed again: "I’m sorry, I want to make a statent here."

Duke spread his hands: "Please go ahead."

"Ever since the Horde crossed the Kalimdor continent and took root in the barren, unclaid land of Durotar, the Horde has tried its best to avoid infringing on the territories of other intelligent races."

When Vol’jin said this, Tyrande couldn’t help but clench her fists and lightly bit her lips with her teeth: Can the death of the demigod Cenarius be forgotten so easily?

Of course, Vol’jin noticed Tyrande’s reaction, but based on his position, he could only continue speaking.

"the Horde does not have a grasp of more advanced ways of building houses. For developnt purposes, the Horde needs at least 100,000 tons of wood."

This number almost made Tyrande jump up on the spot.

Note! This is processed wood, not logs. If converted to logs, the number is even more exaggerated.

Vol’jin gritted his teeth and said, "According to preliminary estimates, this is only needed for the first phase."

It’s only the first issue! ?

Tyrande almost wanted to declare war on behalf of the night elves on the spot.

Vol’jin continued to explain: "The Horde has no intention of making things difficult for the night elves. We have no other options. The nearby Barrens, StoneTeron Mountains, Mulgore, Thousand Needles, and Dustwallow Marsh do not have suitable logs. Although there is good wood in Feralas in the southwest, we cannot transport it out of the Thousand Needles with its extrely bad terrain. If possible, the Horde is willing to exchange any resources the Horde has."

Tyrande gnashed her teeth: "Night elves will never trade their friends!"

The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

This is a headache for Vol’jin. the Horde needs a huge amount of wood, but it can’t use force. In addition, the night elves joined the Alliance, so the Horde can only be cautious in this matter.

Tyrande could not help but cast her eyes towards Duke, who was sitting at the head of the group. Tyrande had mixed feelings. She had absolute trust in Duke, but she represented more than just herself. If Duke was unfair, the voices within the Horde opposing joining the alliance would quickly rise, and big problems would likely occur.

Duke raised his hand and made a gesture of suppression: "High Priest Whisperwind, please calm down. Vol’jin, please tell the standard of wood your tribe wants."

Vol’jin answered imdiately, "If converted into logs, it would be enough for one man to hug, at least thirty yards high, strong enough to be used as the main beam of a house."

Duke smiled. "That’s easy! There is more wood like this in Ashenvale than anywhere else in the world. Not to ntion other places, there is plenty of wood like this in Elwynn Forest and Duskwood in the Kingdom of Stormwind alone."

Although there are also a lot of good wood near Aerie Peak, one-third of the places ntioned above are directly under Duke’s jurisdiction. He is the master of his own territory. Things that he can decide on himself are even more powerful.

Maybe, this is the style!

"Really?!" This ti, Vol’jin was really delighted: "Do you have any samples?"

"Of course!" Duke snapped his fingers, and Vanessa, who was wearing a maid’s uniform, ca up behind him: "Notify the people of the Stonemason Brotherhood to bring in a sleeper."

"clear."

From the beginning of the reconstruction of Lordaeron City, Illucia joined hands with Jaina to help Lordaeron build two railways, one from the North Coast to Lordaeron City, which is convenient for reconstruction. The other is across Tirisfal Glades and the Eastern and Western Plaguelands, directly to the Hand of Tyr, connecting the east-west railway artery of the entire Old Territory of Lordaeron.

There is no shortage of materials for building railways in the royal city.

Soon, eight big n ca in carrying a railway track sleeper that had been cut into long square strips.

Of course, anything that can be used as a sleeper cannot be ordinary stuff.

Moreover, the steam engines in this world were far worse than those in the Industrial Revolution before Duke traveled through ti. Due to the level of industry, the quality of iron and steel was still far from the standard Duke wanted, so the steam engines here were larger and heavier, and the rails for the trains were twice as long as on Earth.

As a result, the requirents for sleepers are also much higher.

When Vol’jin saw it, his eyes lit up. He touched the wood, knocked here and there, then looked up and asked, "Can the Alliance guarantee that the wood sold to the Horde is of this quality? And can the Alliance really transport so much wood across the ocean?"

"Don’t be ridiculous. As early as four years ago, the Alliance was able to ship 100,000 troops and their equipnt across the sea to Kalimdor. A re 100,000 tons of wood is really not difficult." Duke smiled and said, "As for the quality, I can guarantee it here as well. When shipping such a large amount of wood across the sea, there will of course be so loss, so the price will inevitably need to be adjusted up..."

"What does the Alliance want from the Horde?" Vol’jin asked.

"Ore! High-purity ore, mainly iron ore. Other rare ores are also needed, such as gold, mithril, true silver, and thorium." When Duke said this, the eyes of the dwarves next to him sparkled. Magni didn’t look like a king at all. His mouth was drooling like a dog.

Duke rolled his eyes at Magni, and Brian saw it and quickly pulled his elder brother who possessed the soul of a blacksmith, and only then did Magni wake up.

Damn it, please don’t affect the image of the alliance here, okay? If it weren’t for the fact that you are the king of the permanent leader country and you still have the Horde, I would definitely beat you up.

Vol’jin thought about it for a mont. After all, the Horde was in urgent need of wood and this was only a short-term transaction. So he nodded in agreent: "Then the specific transaction ratio and thod..."

"Now that the Alliance has acknowledged that the Barrens is the Horde’s territory and Dustwallow Marsh is also under the control of Theramore, let’s find a place near the border for the transaction. As for the price and details of the transaction, let’s let the people below discuss it."

When two major forces negotiate, the boss always sets the tone, and the subordinates negotiate details and prices. For Vol’jin’s suggestion to go to Elwynn Forest to check out the goods for the sake of safety, Duke agreed and welcod Vol’jin to visit Elwynn Forest.

After sending Vol’jin away, Duke said, "Your Majesty Proudmoore, the trade with the Horde is now in your hands."

Jaina nodded: "Is there anything I should pay attention to?"

"First of all, we must be fair, whether it’s price, quantity, or quality. We agreed to give you 10,000 tons of high-quality wood, not a single piece less. For the Horde, the error in ore content must not exceed 5%. Thrall is a fair guy, as long as we are strict enough, they will do the sa."

Jaina was a little daunted. If the requirents were so high, 10,000 tons would be needed each ti. In order to avoid losses, at least 13,000 tons would be needed to be transported. This would obviously increase the transportation costs.
