This devil came at the perfect time
Diakum spent a fulfilling night in Westfall, who had been treating the injured and preaching to them Holy Light Doctrine until dawn.
But when he returned to Stormwind Cathedral, he saw "Sun Spirit" Anveena floating over with a nervous look on his face. When he handed Heart of Azeroth to him, he looked serious and seemed to want to say something.
"The devil invaded?"
Dick put Heart of Azeroth on his hand and said:
"Let me guess, Polluter is here?"
"How can you be so calm!"
Anveena, the "female version of Kael'thas" grabbed her long golden hair and screamed:
"That's a Great Demon Lord! Mother asked me to notify you immediately to take your Lightforgeds to Kalimdor to help Kaldorei defend against the enemy."
"Hmph, he said he was disappointed with his elf cubs, but when they were in danger, she was the first one to take the initiative to help. I can only say that "a loving mother often loses her son" is really not a lie. Can't He be hard-hearted?"
Vigilant curled his lips and said:
"Kaldorei is not that fragile!
If they can withstand it, wait for me to resolve Eastern Continent's matter before going to Kalimdor's side to join in the fun. Now that Polluter is here, the main demonic force on the Eastern Continent's side must have also appeared."
"You can feel the ley lines."
Anveena whispered:
"When I was talking to my mother last night, He opened the authority for your ring. As long as you are willing, the huge energy conflict occurring in any area of this world will be perceived by you."
"So, what did you and Star Soul Lord talk about?"
Diakum asked casually while stroking Heart of Azeroth and letting his consciousness sense the area where Eastern Continent had a serious Fel outbreak.
"Sun Spirit" curled his lips, poking his fingers like an unhappy child and whispered:
"My mother is very envious of your relationship with Argus Lord. She praised you as being as good as the stars in the sky. She also encouraged me and said that she hoped I could become her "Vigilant".
She said that I was born from World Blood and could borrow the power of the world without Heart of Azeroth. Therefore, in theory, I can do anything you can do. She wanted me to learn from you and become your apprentice.
But I'm not a Paladin."
"You can become a Priest who serves Star Soul. You have this exaggerated talent. More importantly, my "Light-Shadow Twinborn" is really suitable for you.
If you can really understand what Star Soul Lord wants you to do, and you are willing to do something for your mother from the bottom of your heart, I will give you a "gift" when we Eredar leave Azeroth in the future.
A "gift" that allows you to truly protect World Mother."
Diakum drew a pie, then opened his eyes and said:
"Found it!
Destroyer Mannoroth In Stromgarde, that city has been razed to the ground by the demons of the Burning Legion. Now Lothar will have to re-elect the capital of the empire in the future, but Khadgar and Rhonin did a really good job. These two guys lived up to their power.
Thoros Thorbeinn His Majesty has brought out a large number of civilians, and they are moving outside. The Conqueror Kil'jaeden's elite demons are hunting him down.
I think it's time for me to move my body."
Vigilant stretched out his hand and announced to everyone in his group with the power of Light Oath Lord:
"Light Weaver! Assemble to Exodar, Destroyer Mannoroth enters Eastern Continent, I declare that it will be our next hunting target!"
"As commanded."
The feeling of responding one after another along the road echoed in Diakum's heart. Light Oath Lord turned to look at Anveena and said:
"So, what are you thinking about? Becoming a Light and Shadow Priest?"
"Um, can I ask, what "farewell gift" will you give me in the future?"
"Bugs! I will give you lots and lots of bugs, and I can even crown you "Queen of Blades of Azeroth" if you want."
"Hey, I hate bugs! All elves hate bugs, but if you are Priest, you can consider it. I hate the profession of killing and killing. Do I want to call you "mentor" in the future?"
"Whatever you want, you can just call me "Sir" if you're happy."
Thelsamar is the core territory of the Bronzebeard Kingdom.
As the entire Khaz Modan the One mountainous area with a suitable climate, this place has been one of the few agricultural treasures of the dwarves since their rise.
Even when War of the Three Hammers was fighting the most fiercely, the war did not spread to Thelsamar, perhaps because this is the most important wine-making and tobacco-growing area of the dwarf civilization. Loch Modan in its territory is the largest freshwater lake in the central part of the continent, and it is also Holy Land in the hearts of the Eastern Continent's fishing guys.
If you throw a pole down here, you can not only catch big fish, but if you are lucky, you can even make a nest for the plesiosaurs in the lake by yourself.
But Thelsamar is also the border area of the dwarf kingdom.
There is a mountain pass bordering Badlands here, and the dwarves have also dug a tunnel leading to Searing Gorge in the snowy mountains of Kazz Modan.
Of course, when they were digging the tunnel, the opposite side was not called "Searing Gorge". It used to be the most important mining area in the dwarf kingdom. Just because Dark Iron Dwarves lost too badly in War of the Three Hammers and could not afford to lose, he summoned Fire Lord to gamble his life, but he lost the bet.
Not only did he lose himself, but he also turned the rich mining area of the dwarf kingdom into what it is today, Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes.
That stupid accident even affected the Redridge Mountains area of the Stormwind Kingdom. Redridge Mountains was once a fertile land like Elwynn Forest.
All I can say is, don't make friends with guys you can't afford to play with. It's simply harming others and yourself.
Since the separation of the three dwarf clans, the tunnel leading to Searing Gorge has been blocked by the Bronzebeard Dwarves all year round. The mountain patrols have specially placed elite patrols here to prevent Dark Iron Dwarves from stealing their homes.
Although the opponent can also attack Thelsamar from Searing Gorge through Badlands's mountain pass, this road is too long, not to mention that the penetrable mountain pass alone is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is also Excavation Site of Uldaman nearby, so Bronzebeard Dwarves also built a fortress there specifically for defense.
Dark Iron Dwarves As long as I'm not dizzy, I won't take that road.
But this is a general situation, and this is not a general situation!
Especially since a group of exiles from Arathi Highlands were sent to the wilderness of Thelsamar just last night, the entire King's Valley is in a mess until now.
"Have you asked clearly?"
The anxious-looking mayor Aeron Bluntnose rode his plate-horned goat to guard the entrance to the King's Valley. Behind him were dozens of heavily armed mountain rangers. Two Steam Tanks were even activated, but these were obviously not used to suppress the poor group of refugees on the opposite side.
The dwarf mayor just wanted to stabilize the situation first.
Faced with the mayor's inquiry, the patrol captain Karl Thunderfist shrugged and said:
"Those humans said they were sent here by mages, headed by the special envoy of King Thoradin from Stromgarde. That guy pretended to tell me that our King Magni signed some damn friendship treaty with humans, and designated our Thelsamar as a place for Northern Borderlands exiles.
It is for this reason that the mage named "Khadgar" sent these poor people to us.
The special envoy said that only a small number of people from Stromgarde were sent over this time. The remaining people had to follow their human king to retreat to Wetlands along Sardo Bridge because the demons invaded the city and cut off some space system."
"Oh my god, a demonic invasion? Is that real? I thought it was just a human April Fool's joke!"
Mayor Erlon is stupid.
After he confirmed that these humans came to seek refuge because of demons, he yelled a few times, thumped his head, and said:
"So how many are there in total?"
"The special envoy can't tell clearly, but there are tens of thousands of people who came through the portal alone. He said that Stromgarde has four or five million people. Even if half of them escape, there are still two hundred thousand. Dun Modr and Menethil Harbor will be tightly packed now."
The mountain ranger sighed and said:
"We can't make the decision in this matter. You'd better send someone to Ironforge to deliver a message to the king. If the human king really takes his people to escape to Wetlands, then we have to help. As for these people, why don't we let them go into the town to have a rest first?
I see there are a lot of human kids in there, hell, even those kids are taller than us! Ahem, I mean, they'd be tired, hungry and scared after walking in the wilderness for most of the night."
"You can't enter the town. The people in the town are unprepared. Moreover, the armaments we just built for Marshal Lothar are sitting in the town and haven't been transported yet. A sudden influx of so many people will cause trouble."
Mayor Erron thought for a while and said to the mountain ranger captain:
"You first take them to camp on the plains near Grayclaw Mountain. I will send them bread and blood sausage, and ask them to choose a few leaders to go to the town to discuss how to resettle them. I will write a letter to the king."
"Mayor! The king's envoy is here. He flew all the way on Gryphon. He said he brought the king's order."
A mountain ranger rode a goat and ran over and shouted. Now the pressure on the mayor was gone. Coming in such a timely manner meant that the king had also received the news. This was great. No matter how big something happened, he would not be involved.
When the "special envoy" came over, the mayor, who was exchanging tobacco with the human king's special envoy and listening to the other party's description, was startled. He hurried over and nodded and said:
"Moira, Your Highness, why are you here?"
"My father appointed me to be the handler of the Arathi refugee issue. Ironforge received the news from Archmage Khadgar. My father has taken King's Guard to Menethil Harbor personally to take charge of the situation and prepare to support King Thoras and the Arathi refugees he escorted."
Princess Moira Bronzebeard is the only daughter of King Magni Bronzebeard. Although there are rumors that the relationship between father and daughter is not good, the current problem is indeed serious, so Her Royal Highness the Princess must also assume the responsibilities of the kingdom.
This princess with a beautiful dwarf hairstyle is very general-like. She took control of the situation after a simple handover.
While arranging for humans to rest near the town, they also mobilized the entire Thelsamar mountain rangers to form a temporary force, appointed the mountain ranger captain Karl Thunderfist as the temporary commander, and led this force quickly across Dun Algaz Pass to Wetlands, where they accepted the command of King Magni.
Her father has formed an alliance with humans. At this dangerous moment when the country of Human King is invaded by demons, the dwarf allies must contribute.
And Wetlands is also the traditional territory of dwarves.
If the demons come all the way from Arathi Highlands in the north, then the dwarves will also have to fight to defend their territory.
But the development of things will never change according to the will of the individual. In the afternoon when Princess Moira Bronzebeard had just stabilized the situation, a piece of bad news was sent to the town of Thelsamar.
"What did you say?"
The dwarf princess' face changed slightly as she was inquiring about the demon invasion with King Thoradin's envoy. She looked at the panicked Gryphon Rider in front of her and asked in surprise:
"What did you say you saw near the ridge?"
"Dark Iron Dwarves! Your Royal Highness, Dark Iron Dwarves has assembled a large army and is heading towards the border of Thelsamar. There are also Green Skins Orcs with them! Those evil villains are going to take advantage of the chaos to attack our kingdom!"
Gryphon Rider shouted:
"You just mobilized the local army to Wetlands. Now we only have a few patrol teams and some Steam Tank left. Once the black iron bastards blow up the tunnel, there is no way we can defend King's Valley!"
"Oh my God."
Princess Moira Bronzebeard's hands and feet were cold at this moment, and she realized that something was in trouble.
At the same time, near the Searing Gorge tunnel on the other side of the mountains.
"It's hard to imagine how on earth you dwarves dug such a convenient tunnel in this entire mountain?"
Orgrim Doomhammer rode his own Dire Wolf, carefully observing the process of burying explosives by Dark Iron Engineer ahead, and chatting with Angerforge General who led the Black Iron Expeditionary Force.
Faced with Green Skins Great Chieftain's curiosity, General Black Iron laughed and said proudly:
"This is the unique talent of our dwarves. Before War of the Three Hammers, in the most glorious era of the dwarves, the entire central part of the continent from Arathi Strait in the north to the Redridge Mountains in the south was the land of our dwarf kingdom. At that time, we used such mountain tunnels to connect the vast country together.
Our Dark Iron Dwarves also has a special drilling machine, which is a very powerful engineering weapon. Theoretically, it can dig underground and send you to any place on the mainland.
Of course, this is only in theory.
The tunnel in front of you is the road connecting Thelsamar Province to the mining area. The weak Bronzebeard Dwarves dare not blow it up for fear of causing the mountain to collapse, but we Dark Iron Engineer are the most powerful people in the world with explosives. We can destroy it, clear the tunnel, and only need ten minutes of march to reach King's Valley.
That is the core territory of Bronzebeard Dwarves!
As long as we occupy that place, the entire Kazz Modan will be completely isolated."
"Well, what a great plan! The tactics of blooming in the center prove the strategy of His Majesty Thorisson!"
Orgrim complimented a few words. He looked back at Kargath Bladefist. The guy made a secret gesture to him. Great Hammer Orgrim nodded. He took out a bottle of strong liquor and handed it to General Dark Iron Dwarves. He asked softly:
"But there's a question I haven't been able to figure out."
"Ask, ask, you are the vanguard of this battle, and it will be up to you and Bronzebeard Dwarves to fight for a while. His Majesty ordered me to cooperate with you, so of course I know everything."
Angerforge General took a big sip of wine, perhaps because the victory he was about to win made him a little elated, and Dark Iron Dwarves talked more.
Orgrim smiled and whispered:
"Our Shaman clearly informed His Majesty Thorisson of the demon invasion. It stands to reason that if the demons are allowed to invade the whole world, you Dark Iron Dwarves will not be able to escape disaster. At this time, the best way is to let Bronzebeard Dwarves fight the demons to the death, and don't interfere with those guys' anti-demon war.
Why does His Majesty Thorisson insist on choosing this moment to launch a war?
Does Dark Iron Dwarves's anger towards Bronzebeard really make you hate your compatriots to this extent? Would you rather risk being annihilated by demons to defeat Bronzebeard first?"
"Look, what kind of stupid question are you asking?"
Angerforge General, who was carrying a black iron battle ax, sneered and said:
"What does the demon invasion have to do with us Dark Iron Dwarves?
We hide in Shadowforge City and once the door is closed, it is very difficult for the devil to come in. What's more, the Fire Lord we believe in has no relationship with the Burning Legion. If the devil wants to kill us, he must first pass the Fire Lord level.
The war between them is dog-eat-dog. Whoever wins or loses will have no harm to us Dark Iron Dwarves.
As for why we chose this time?
Isn't this very simple?
That idiot Magni insists on getting Bronzebeard Dwarves involved in human bullshit. They are the ones who brought it on themselves. We picked this time because Bronzebeard Kingdom is the weakest at this time.
As long as Ironforge is occupied and Fire Lord is summoned in Great Forge, Firelands will be closer to Material World, and Fire Lord can give Dark Iron Dwarves more power.
As you said, Green Skins, if everyone else is dead, when it's Dark Iron Dwarves's turn to fight against the devil, we must have stronger power to win, right?"
At this point, General Black Iron snorted and said:
"Instead of letting the weak Bronzebeard Kingdom be eaten by the devil, it is better for us to take away the power of this land and use it to strengthen ourselves. Do you think this is the truth?"
"Ah, yes, yes, it makes sense, you are right!"
Orgrim nodded. Seeing that Dark Iron Engineer had already planted the explosives, he retreated to a safe distance.
While waiting for detonation, Varok Saurfang beside him whispered:
"Everyone has been put in place. With just one order from you, we can disarm these black-skinned dwarves! It makes me sick to be with these shameless guys. They package their shamelessness in such a cold-blooded way."
"Be patient, it's not yet time."
Orgrim waved his hand and asked High Overseer, whom he trusted, to step back. Then he called Rend Blackhand and asked:
"Have you contacted Venture Company over there?"
"Well, that little Green Skins Goblin promised to get us enough boats. She will contact Eitrigg Warlord directly. When the time comes, Eitrigg Warlord will take the others to evacuate by boat from Black Morass and go directly to Kalimdor to join us."
Rend This guy became calmer after "experience". He whispered to Great Chieftain:
"But I'm worried, how will we get there then? Kul Tiras's warships have been plying back and forth in the central waters of the mainland. Even if Goblin's merchant ships can get here, they can't find an available port. It will definitely be very troublesome if we are trapped on the battlefield."
"We have to win first, Rend. This is the will of Black Wolf God and what we must do. Only by winning this battle can we be qualified to evacuate."
Orgrim said casually:
"Don't think about what you have or don't have now, and get ready for the next battle."
