"Boom"
The loud noise of the earth shaking and the mountains erupted from the mountain tunnel, and the violent explosion of explosives almost shattered the mountain above. However, the engineers of the black body dwarves were really awesome, and they controlled the blasting force perfectly, opening the tunnel without destroying the mountain.
With Angerforge General roaring, the black iron pioneers immediately rushed into the tunnel, followed closely by the Green Skins Orcss.
The mountain tunnel dug by the dwarves is wide and large enough to accommodate ten Orcs walking side by side or being installed into a convenient subway system. Unfortunately, when the dwarves dug the tunnel, the "subway" concept proposed by their dwarf brothers was still in the experimental stage and was not installed. The lack of maintenance for many years left the tunnel lacking light sources and filled with dust and falling stones.
Dark Iron Dwarves It doesn't matter if you have dark vision, Green Skins we still have to carry torches and walk through this dark place where we can't see the front.
Ten minutes later, after Dark Iron Engineer used another skillful blast to open the door at the other end, Orgrim drove Dire Wolf out and what greeted his eyes was no longer the scorched earth of Searing Gorge, but a picturesque plateau valley.
The distant mountain at the end of the field of vision was carved by the dwarves into sculptures of two kings holding weapons, which looked very majestic.
"Ha, King's Valley!"
The excited Angerforge General rode his Lava Hound and shouted loudly:
"Two hundred years have passed! Dark Iron Dwarves has stepped into this magnificent place again. This time we will not be kicked out casually."
"Don't get too happy too soon, General."
Orgrim pointed at the mountain pass directly above King's Valley and said:
"Bronzebeard Dwarves is fortified there, look! Not only are the dwarves and their Steam Tanks, but also the human Warriors! There are so many people. If I hadn't known that the local dwarves had been mobilized to Wetlands, I would have thought it was a trap."
"Yeah, where do so many humans Warrior come from?"
Angerforge General is also a little suspicious.
Logically speaking, Thelsamar shouldn't have so many humans, but on the Yamaguchi defense line in front of him, nearly a thousand humans Warrior wearing uniform-style battle armor held heavy shields made by dwarves to secure the defense line.
"Hey, Dark Iron Barbarian! Who allowed you to step into Highmountain King's territory? Your banishment sentence has not ended yet!"
When the troops composed of Green Skins and Dark Iron Dwarves approached the mountain pass, a deep female voice sounded from the front.
Princess Moira, who was wearing a mighty battle armor, pushed the dwarves' iconic big horn helmet. She stood under Ironforge Battle Standard, which was held up by a mighty human knight. She held a steel warhammer and carried a long musket on her back, shouting majestically:
"Your sinister plot to raid King's Valley has been seen through by my father! The elite troops from the Stormwind Kingdom are setting up an ambush here. At this time, when the mainland faces the invasion of demons, all races should unite, but you bunch of bastards want to take the opportunity to cause trouble.
I'm warning you!
If you don't retreat, today's King's Valley will be your burial place!"
"Roar!"
It seemed that it had been specially rehearsed. When the dwarf princess's scolding ended, the surrounding humans Warrior roared loudly, looking amazingly powerful. Several Steam Tank's continuous-fire cannons in the rear were also adjusted to aim here.
Dark Iron Dwarves were a little panicked, and they started to hide behind the bigger Orcs.
However, the cunning Orgrim immediately saw the clues.
Although these humans were wearing sophisticated armor and holding majestic weapons, many of them held shields and swords in non-standard postures, as if they were using this thing for the first time.
This made Great Chieftain narrow his eyes.
There is a scam ahead!
These seemingly elite "human elites" are just used to bluff people. The information sent back by Dark Iron Dwarves's spy is accurate. Thelsamar indeed has no soldiers available at this time. This dwarf princess is quite capable and can actually arrange such a deception in a short time.
Well, the elites of Azeroth should not be underestimated.
But this is exactly what Orgrim wants to see. Only when the other party is weak enough, the kindness he gives will become more precious.
"There's a problem, Angerforge General, don't be scared! Those humans are farmers, they're scared to death."
Orgrim whispered to the frightened dwarf general beside him:
"You go and deceive that princess! She will definitely reveal her secret. I will go with you. Then I and my Warlords will fight for you!"
"Okay."
Angerforge General originally didn't plan to take the risk, but he looked beside him and saw three tall and powerful Green Skins Warlord acting as his bodyguards. What else was there to be afraid of?
So, Thorisson, His Majesty's most trusted general, drove Lava Hound forward in a swaggering manner. He shouted sarcastically:
"Are you Moira Bronzebeard? I heard that you are the daughter of Magni Bronzebeard King the One? You are a bit brave. Haha, our Majesty Thorisson is not yet married. I think you, the princess, are quite pretty. You are more than enough to be a maid for our king!"
Who are you trying to scare by arming a bunch of human farmers?
Surrender quickly!
Otherwise, when I Dark Iron Soldiers arrives, I will make you Thelsamar bleed like a river!"
"You!"
Seeing that her impromptu plan was seen through by the cunning Black Iron Barbarian, despair suddenly filled Princess Moira's eyes, and she could only curse loudly:
"May the flames of God Khaz'goroth burn you to death, you piece of shit!"
"Haha, the fire of the God of Forging cannot control the people of Fire Lord."
Angerforge General was immediately happy when he saw Princess Bronzebeard breaking through the defense, and he roared proudly:
"So, who here can kill me? Hahaha!"
He laughed wildly, as if he had seen victory waving to him, thinking in his heart that if he captured this bold and courageous Princess Bronzebeard and presented it to His Majesty Thorisson, he would definitely get more slave rewards!
But the next moment, when he was at the peak of his life, he suddenly felt a big hand clasping his neck.
He was lifted up from his war dog by the huge force, and his body was pierced by Kargath's fist blade. Then, like a ball, he was thrown towards the mountain pass above by the expressionless Orgrim.
In the stunned gaze of Princess Moira Bronzebeard, General Black Iron, who had just spoken obscene words to her, fell dancing and dancing at her feet, and the surrounding human "Warrior" dispersed with cheers.
Angerforge still wanted to resist, but Moira was so excited that he grabbed the musket, aimed at the black-skinned barbarian at his feet, and pulled the trigger.
With a bang, the high-explosive projectile pierced Angerforge General's eyeballs at almost zero distance and exploded in his brain. Even the legendary Warrior was dead with this kind of injury.
But until he scored the glorious first kill in his life, Princess Moira was still confused.
She couldn't understand what happened in those few seconds.
Then she heard Green Skins Great Chieftain riding Dire Wolf shouting to her with pure Dwarvish:
"Come down and have a chat, brave and cunning princess. In the name of War Horde Great Chieftain, I guarantee that you Thelsamar will be safe today, and not a single tree or plant will be harmed. But I still have something to ask for."
Moira has no answer.
It was the first time this happened to her and she didn't know how to deal with it.
Ten seconds later, Orgrim spoke again:
"Time is precious! If you don't come down, I'll go up."
"Don't!"
Princess Bronzebeard glanced at the Stromgarde citizens who were almost scared to death. She took a deep breath and said loudly:
"Wait there, I'll come right away."
A moment later, escorted by several Stromgarde royal guards, a human mage and mountain rangers, Princess Moira wearing armor rode his gorgeous horned goat to the front of Orgrim.
Sitting on the goat, she could see the Green Skins Orcs behind her attacking the chaotic Dark Iron Dwarves.
These Green Skins are by no means a temporary idea.
They struck at various points in the army at the same time, catching the Dark Iron Dwarvess by surprise, and then quickly disarmed and tied them up.
"Aren't you allies?"
Moira said in surprise:
"Why the internal fighting?"
"There is no friendship at all, so how can we talk about working together? The goals of both sides are fundamentally different. The limit of what we can do is to make things work together superficially but not yet at the same time."
Orgrim had no intention of explaining this, he said in a deep voice:
"I want to take the road to Wetlands, where I will fight "Destroyer" Mannoroth!
Don't worry, we are just passing through and will not stay here longer. I see that you still have extra armor to arm these farmers. Why not sell me some more armaments and explosives so that we can be less passive when facing the devil.
These disarmed Dark Iron Dwarves are my sincerity, you can do whatever you want with them, deal?"
Princess Moira is very talented, but compared to Great Chieftain like Orgrim, she is too immature. She can't keep up with Great Chieftain's ideas at all. She was still a little confused, and after a few seconds of thinking, she asked:
"But how should I trust you? You are obviously the enemy of the Stormwind Kingdom! You shamelessly invaded Stormwind Kingdom, and we dwarves are allies of humans!"
"A boring debate!"
Grom Hellscream asked indifferently:
"So, you think your armed farmers can stop us?"
This is a silly question for a dwarf princess to ask.
Only then did she realize that the Orcss in front of her were not negotiating with her, let alone debating with her. Although Orgrim's tone was gentle, the decision-making power had always been with them.
Apart from obediently giving way, she was completely helpless against the Green Skins army in front of her.
In fact, she felt that if Orgrim hadn't taken a fancy to those sophisticated armors and weapons, he wouldn't have even wasted time talking to her about it. Just the mountain pass in front of her, these Green Skinss could have taken it down with a wave of Charges.
"Okay, I promise you."
After figuring this out, Princess Bronzebeard nodded immediately and said:
"The three thousand sets of armor and matching weapons in the town were originally made by Marshal Lothar. You can also take them away. Just go to Wetlands and Dun Algaz Outpost from here."
"Very well, you are very wise. I have one last question."
Orgrim smiled and said:
"I heard that there is a mountain pass from Thelsamar to Badlands? And there is a dock at Goblin on the coast of Badlands, right?"
"Yes, Flamestar Post."
Moira said:
"That is Goblin's largest commercial terminal in the central part of the mainland, but it is used for transporting goods. Very few people will travel to Badlands. Taking Thelsamar is indeed the shortest way to get there."
"Very good, I've rented this road."
Orgrim nodded and said:
"We will evacuate the battlefield along this road soon. If you can keep it secret for us, I personally have a "big gift" for you.
You are a royal!
As far as I know, Bronzebeard Dwarves's credibility is excellent throughout the Eastern Continent, and even the most shameless Goblin is willing to do business with you.
So, do you want to complete this transaction with me in the name of the Bronzebeard Family?"
"You're asking me to betray my covenant with humanity!"
Moira cursed:
"I am the princess of the Bronzebeard Family! It is impossible for me to lend our roads to the enemies of mankind. This would put my father in a very embarrassing diplomatic dilemma. Don't try to seduce me, cunning Green Skins."
"But aren't you willing to listen to the conditions?"
Orgrim is not angry.
Although he really needed this retreat path, Great Chieftain still said to Moira calmly:
"It's like this. Before I set off with Dark Iron Dwarves's army, I left an elite force among Blackrock Spire, commanded by Maim Blackhand Warlord, because I promised to lead Horde to be cannon fodder for Emperor Thaurissan, so he will not doubt Maim Warlord in the next period of time.
If there is a powerful person at this time, he can cooperate with Maim Warlord inside and outside to attack Shadowforge City.
I can't guarantee that I can defeat Dark Iron Dwarves in one go, but it shouldn't be a big problem to capture Emperor Sorissan alive. Of course, I am only responsible for making suggestions, and Maim Warlord will only stay at Blackrock Mountain for five days.
He had to escape from Dark Iron Dwarves's angry pursuit before the news was exposed.
Therefore, whether you can seize this opportunity depends on whether you Bronzebeard Dwarves have the courage."
Great Chieftain stared at Princess Bronzebeard in front of him, and he whispered:
"Dark Iron Dwarves would rather take advantage of the demon's invasion to destroy you. Your Highness, your two clans come from the same origin, but your hatred for each other is really more terrifying than I imagined!
My suggestion is that if you and your father cannot make up your mind as soon as possible, then Thorisson will definitely harass you again and again. The high probability I provide you is that you can find the One an opportunity to solve the hatred of black iron "once and for all."
I've even prepared an army for you to raid!
All you need to do is to muster up the courage once, and at the "right" moment, turn a blind eye to Horde's behavior of "borrowing" that retreat road.
This will not affect your father's diplomatic image. After all, he personally went to the front line to save human refugees. The future emperor of humanity will not blame his allies for such a "trivial matter".
The most important thing is that the enemy of the Stormwind Kingdom is Felblood Orcs, and we are "Horde"!"
"Is there a difference between the two?"
Moira asked rhetorically:
"Anyway, in my eyes, there is no difference between Green Skins and Green Skins."
"But in the eyes of other "big people", the difference between the two is huge."
Orgrim shook his head and said:
"You have to give me an answer!
You know, I don't have to be so gentle. It's also a way to capture your people and force you to submit. And didn't you notice? The master assassin next to me has been "missing" for a while.
So, for the sake of the poor dwarf mayor's life, you'd better make a decision as soon as possible!"
Moira was caught in a difficult decision, but to be honest, it wasn't really that difficult. The damn Green Skins in front of her made both soft and hard decisions, leaving her with very few choices.
So after a while, Princess Bronzebeard moved her fingers and said:
"I need your people's cooperation to pretend to be a "captive" and sneak into Shadowforge City. The most important thing is that after capturing Thorisson, you have to escort me and my Warriors away!"
"No problem, we already have a complete evacuation plan."
Great Chieftain knows, the deal is done.
He raised his hand and said to Rend Blackhand, who was carrying the magic saw beside him:
"You and your Blacktooth Grin Clan escort" Princess Moira and her guards to Shadowforge City. I left the plan to your brother. When you return, he will naturally cooperate with you.
As for how to leave after raiding the throne room, you don't have to worry.
As long as you can successfully capture Emperor Sorissan, Dark Iron Dwarves's resistance force "Thorium Brotherhood" will naturally help you with the last step. Then, you two brothers will go to the Redridge Mountains and follow Eitrigg to retreat to Black Morass. We will meet at Kalimdor.
Anything else you want to ask? Rend."
Rend Blackhand hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't hold it back, scratched his bare head and said:
"How dare you trust me so much, Orgrim?
You know, my father's death is inseparable from you. In my eyes, you are always Betrayer. Aren't you afraid that I will eventually do something bad?
Having a dwarf princess as a prisoner is enough for Thorisson to protect me and Maim under any circumstances."
"If you do that, it proves that you two will be like this for the rest of your lives."
Orgrim doesn't even bother to answer this question.
He stroked his Doomhammer and said coldly:
"I am honest in my life, and the person I am sorry for the One is Great Chieftain Blackhand. As I said before, I welcome you brothers to take what you deserve from me. But if you two can't even tell what is important at this moment, then let you go.
It would be nice to stay in Blackrock Mountain and be a local bully."
"Stop riding horses and looking down on people!"
Rend seemed to be stimulated, he cursed:
"I tell you! I will definitely take back Blackrock Clan's Chieftain position in a dignified way! I will let you see with your own eyes the merits of Maim and I, we are just a Dark Iron Dwarves king.
You!
Dwarf Princess, give you a few hours to prepare, and then set off with me! Also, what to do with these black iron prisoners?"
He pointed at the disarmed Dark Iron Dwarves behind him and asked Moira:
"Are we going to cut them all down? I'd be happy to do that. Keeping them would be a big problem."
"Don't make it difficult for Her Royal Highness, you idiot."
Varok Saurfang slapped the roaring Rend on the forehead, and Orcs Warlord cursed:
"You can just handle this kind of thing yourself."
"This trip is to do something big, and we must not leak the secret."
Moira gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and said:
"All executed! Anyway, these guys are here to destroy Thelsamar. They are not good people. Also, Orcs, bring this with you!"
The princess threw her personal seal and the exquisite dwarf musket to Orgrim and said:
"If you encounter trouble when crossing Sardo Bridge, show this to the defenders of Dun Modr, and they will let you pass. However, if I die in Shadowforge City, then you will be lucky to yourself.
Curse this era of chaos, this era of change
My father always thinks that women cannot do great things, and dwarves all do, but I will let them know that what Bronzebeard Family men cannot do, I, a woman, will accomplish with my own hands!"
"Vigilant, Draenor received the news of Destroyer Mannoroth's appearance. Elder Drek'Thar made a special trip to activate Dark Portal and sent someone!"
While Exodar was making emergency preparations and preparing to set off, Archbishop Akama rushed over to inform Diakum of a sudden news.
This made Lothar, who was looking at the map next to him, raised his head in surprise and asked:
"They spent precious energy activating the portal, but only one person came?"
"Trust me, Marshal."
Akama Archbishop said in a subtle tone:
"After you see the fighting posture of "Black Pawn" with your own eyes, you will know that sometimes, one person can withstand thousands of troops on the battlefield."
"Let "Black Pawn" board the ship as soon as possible!"
Diakum said to Akama:
"I will take away a thousand Lightforged, and leave the rest to your command for the time being, Archbishop.
During the time we are away, you must ensure that King Llane's war of territorial retrieval will not be interrupted by the devil's raid. Those guys will not let this country go, but this is the fulcrum that I have created to fight against the fate of the world.
It's really important."
"I will do my best!"
Akama Archbishop said in a deep voice:
"I wish you a successful trip! Vigilant, although this is no longer our hometown, please teach those devils a lesson!"
