Future

"That was a great performance!"

"This Amumu is so cute! Look at him in his armor, he's just too adorable!"

The play was about 'Little Red Riding Hood' Annie being targeted by 'The Big Bad Wolf' Warwick, who wanted to eat her. Just as his evil scheme was about to succeed, 'The Little Knight' Amumu, wearing a suit of silver armor, arrived in time to protect her and ultimately defeated 'The Big Bad Wolf'.

Annie and Amumu were playing themselves, but 'The Blood Hunter' Warwick, who was originally supposed to play 'The Big Bad Wolf,' didn't have time to play with the children. He was busy with other matters. Little Timmy put on the Big Bad Wolf costume and played the villain.

The charm of the cute Annie and Amumu was irresistible to the children. Even Bridget, the older girl, was clapping and cheering enthusiastically below.

After the play ended, the little Pandaren, Baoluo Ironpaw, ran up to help Timmy take off his costume, teasing, "How was it, Timmy? Did it feel good to get beat up?"

Timmy took off the heavy Big Bad Wolf costume and rolled his eyes at the mischievous little Pandaren: "Next time, you'll be playing the villain!"

"Hehe, it'll be a powerful villain!"

Baoluo was the Pandaren child who secretly left the Wandering Isle with Chen Stormstout when Captain Gangplank led the Valoran Expeditionary Force out to sea a few years ago, hiding on the ship. These years of training have greatly improved his skills, and the outside world is so wonderful that he has simply forgotten about home!

There aren't so many fun things on the Wandering Isle, nor are there so many children of various races—it's just that there are too few Pandaren here. Although Pandaren are very likable, the clever Baoluo can sense that most people like him not because of his personality and talent, but because Pandaren children are cute and adorable.

When girls see Baoluo, their eyes shine so brightly it's almost scary—which sometimes gives him a sense of frustration, as if he were a doll.

However, Baoluo heard Uncle Chen say that they seem to be researching how to return to their homeland. Baoluo is both happy and worried. He's happy that he can see his parents and playmates, but worried that he won't see the wonders of the outside world for a long time.

Prince Anduin and the others found Annie and her friends, and the children quickly started playing happily together.

"Timmy, I heard from my father that a lot of people came to the Valoran Federation a few months ago. Why does Los Angeles still seem to have the same number of people?" Anduin asked curiously.

He had been to Los Angeles before. At that time, the Valoran Federation was already the second most populous and the most powerful country in the Alliance. There should be more people here, but he felt that the number of people was even less than before.

Although Anduin is still young, he has already shown the advantage of being good at observation.

After the Northrend Expedition ended, Aiden obtained a great deal of energy points again. He summoned the remaining forty-plus heroes who had not yet been summoned to Azeroth all at once, and also summoned some ordinary people to come here. However, considering the food crisis, more people meant more consumption. Before solving this problem, he did not summon more ordinary people to Azeroth.

Now, only the last three heroes remain on the entire Valoran continent—Zilean, Anivia, and Soraka.

These three heroes are still in an unsummonable state.

He was inspired by Aman'Thul and knew that he probably needed to summon the entire Valoran continent to Azeroth to truly unlock these three heroes. Because their actions of stopping time and freezing the continent had already closely integrated them with the Heart of Valoran.

For Aiden, perhaps he doesn't have much time left. He is preparing to expedite the war to lift the elemental plane seals, eliminate the remnants of the Twilight's Hammer, the elemental lords, and Deathwing.

"I know this!" Hearing the little prince's question, Timmy replied, "They went to work!"

"Work?" Anduin was a little confused.

In fact, only a small number of people know the real reason—the current population of the Valoran Federation includes all the city-states and forces from Valoran, as well as the native Azerothians who have always sought refuge in this country.

Due to special historical reasons, the orcs have both an alliance relationship and a subordinate relationship with the Valoran Federation, as do the high elves, Gilneas, and Dalaran.

These countries are independent in themselves, but the outside world still regards them as a whole.

Recently, the population within the Valoran Federation's sphere of influence has suddenly decreased a lot, especially the orcs, elves, and people from the Valoran Federation, so that its population looks slightly smaller than before.

Anduin felt that this seemed unusual.

"That's something only adults worry about. Today is Children's Day, let's go to the amusement park! I have tickets!" Annie interrupted them, pulling out a handful of amusement park tickets from her pocket and waving them triumphantly. "And there's a concert tonight with Sona and others, you'll definitely like it!"

"A concert?"

"Yes, there's not only classical music, but also rock music! Let me tell you a secret—" Annie lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Commander Aiden also provided some famous music from his hometown, I'm so looking forward to it!"

"I know that too, and it is said that Lord Aiden himself will also go to the concert!" Timmy added, "The famous bard of Stratholme, Forestonn, will also perform. I've heard his piccolo playing, it's really amazing!"

"Ah, I'm so looking forward to it! I really want it to get dark soon!"

Aiden initially brought hundreds of thousands of tons of Earth specialties, although many of them were materials and equipment related to war, there were also a large number of civilian and technological products.

For example, many seeds of vegetables, grains, and fruits that only exist on Earth, as well as technological products such as computers, televisions, and mobile phones, and some literary, artistic, and entertainment content. Many of these novelties are very popular, which is why Annie is so looking forward to this concert that mixes different world civilizations.

Although it seems a bit difficult to directly replicate a complete Earth technology in Azeroth, he believes that with the strength of the Valoran Federation's current technology team, the functions of these things will be completely produced in other ways, with technology and magic, and with a combination of various civilizations.

This team, which combines Valoran technology and magic, Azeroth technology and magic, goblin technology, gnome technology, and even Titan technology, has proven this point many times.

Prince Anduin quickly put down his doubts and joined the revelry of the little friends.

In the original history, each of these children had a completely different future.

Historically, Tyran Fordring inherited his father's territory and became the lord of Hearthglen, nominally ruling the Scarlet Crusade, but in reality, he was a puppet secretly controlled by High Inquisitor Isillien.

He inherited not only his identity and status from his father, Tirion Fordring, but also the righteousness and kindness of a paladin.

When he learned the truth and wanted to recognize his father, Tirion Fordring, he was murdered by Isillien. When Old Fordring arrived, he only saw his son's body.

The "Love and Family" mission once moved countless people, but now this tragedy has not been repeated. The Fordring family is still very happy.

Historically, Bridget Abbendis was a high general of the Scarlet Crusade. This position was also inherited from her father.

This beautiful girl has a heart of gold, pure and kind. Unfortunately, the Scarlet Crusade is not a truly just and noble organization, it is actually controlled by the dreadlord Balnazzar, who has been transformed into Dathrohan. In the end, Bridget was assassinated while leading the Scarlet Crusade's expedition to Northrend.

Her "childhood friend" Darion Mograine chose to "martyr" himself to save his father's soul, and was later resurrected by the Lich King Arthas as a death knight. After many twists and turns, Darion eventually became the leader of the Knights of the Ebon Blade and attacked Icecrown Glacier with the Silver Covenant led by Old Fordring, and killed the Lich King.

Vanessa's father, Van Cleef, was not as lucky in history as he is now to become the Admiral of Stormwind. He is still a traitor.

As a child, Vanessa witnessed her father being assassinated by assassins sent by Stormwind in the Deadmines. When she grew up, she inherited her father's legacy and continued to fight against Stormwind, and ultimately did not escape the same fate as her father.

Prince Anduin and his father also have a completely different future. King Varian was not framed by Onyxia, forcibly turned into two people, and became a gladiator struggling on the line of life and death all day long.

Although this king's strength is not as strong as it was in history, no one should want to exchange such an encounter for personal strength.

Historically, when the plague of Andorhal descended, Prince Arthas was unable to save little Timmy's parents, and even little Timmy himself was eventually infected and became a little ghoul. Years later, he appeared in the undead district of Stratholme, and his identity was already the leader of the ghouls. In this world, Aiden encountered all this. Although he also failed to save little Timmy's parents, at least he did not allow the plague to cause greater disaster.

The fates of these children, and the fates of more people, and even the fate of the entire Azeroth, have embarked on a completely different path due to Aiden's intervention.

While the children are enjoying their holiday, the adults are looking worried.

In the conference hall of Los Angeles, the major leaders of Azeroth are gathered together. The food crisis has lasted for nearly half a year. Although everyone has united to control the market, stabilize prices, and crack down on various hoarding behaviors, the situation is still very serious.

Everyone has exhausted all the methods they can think of, but as the inventory decreases, the price of food is gradually getting out of control, and panic is spreading among the people.

Everyone has shown great interest in the "package plan" proposed by Aiden, because they urgently need to change the current predicament.
