Patrick did not need to worry about matters at Scalawag Point. Once the camp was established, the troops would draw detailed maps of the surrounding area, and this place would become a territory of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas in Northrend.
But this was still far from enough. A single territory would be of little use.
After wandering around Scalawag Point and inspecting the surrounding area, he said, "Make preparations. We still need to continue to Dragonblight and establish a second base for the regular forces of the Northern Expedition."
"A second territory?" Alleria asked in puzzlement. "Why establish it in Dragonblight?" In Alleria's view, if a second territory was to be established to support Scalawag Point, the two could not be too far apart. At the very least, they had to ensure that when one came under attack, the other could send aid in time.
Arcane light projected from Patrick's hand. "This place alone is not enough. The main objective of this Northern Expedition is to destroy the Scourge. Howling Fjord is clearly too far from Icecrown Glacier to serve as a strategic base."
"And the port I truly have my sights on is in Dragonblight. Scalawag Point lies at the very tip of Northrend, and it is also a place where our enemies have difficulty interfering. The fact that these pirates have lived here for so many years is enough to prove that it is relatively safe. Precisely for that reason, we can rest easy establishing a port here to serve as the Arcane Pact's supply transfer station in Northrend. Moreover, the Blue Dragons' sacred ground is in Coldarra. This will link our forces across all the waters south of Northrend."
"You are very familiar with this place?" Saragoss asked curiously. After all, in Saragoss's eyes, it was almost
