(Additional update for "Zinc Zinc Lighting" brothers [3/5])

"I only thought you were a brave Bronzebeard woman before! But now I know, you are a madman when you step on a horse!"

Emperor Sorissan's rude shouts echoed in the ice and snow of Dun Morogh, filled with the joy of returning to freedom.

And a touch of fear and shock towards those walking beside me.

His remarks quickly got him into trouble.

The tough Rend punched Thorisson on the head and cursed:

"How do you talk to my boss? You don't want to die, do you? You short guy!"

"Oh, thugs!"

Emperor Sorissan glanced at Rend's violent Big Bald Head and the Blackhand's Fel Saw in the opponent's hand, and shrank his neck, not wanting to meet this guy.

Behind the two of them, Princess Moira Bronzebeard, dressed as a traveler, was treating several injured dwarf pursuers.

Holy Light has become very dim in her hands, and its brilliance is almost close to Dispersion. She knows that Holy Light is leaving her because she has done something that violates the dogma of believers. From today on, she is no longer "Partner of Justice".

She used the last Holy Light to treat several injured people, and then said to the dwarf captain who was responsible for "protecting" her:

"You go back and tell my father that I am sorry for his upbringing and let him treat me as his daughter, but I will definitely use my own way to get Searing Gorge back! The land that Bronzebeard Dwarvess have lost for more than 300 years will be brought back to the kingdom with my own hands!

This time, I want to see what reasons he will use to suppress my achievements."

"Your Highness, why do you bother to do this?"

The dwarf captain could be said to have watched Moira grow up. He could probably guess why Her Royal Highness the Princess did this. Then he looked at Moira who stood up and said in a bitter voice:

"Don't go! His Majesty has no choice but to take into account the diplomatic views of his allies. Everyone knows that you have made great contributions and everyone is praising you. As long as you survive this period, Your Majesty will change his mind."

"He won't."

Moira put the hood on his head and walked into the snow and wind that was getting heavier tonight.

Her voice was dry and helpless, like a sad farewell song.

She said:

"Magni Bronzebeard is the most outstanding Mountain King, so I know that he will never take the initiative to retreat, even when facing his daughter. In the first few decades of my life, I always hated myself for not being a boy, but now, I don't think so anymore.

Tell my father.

I can do what Bronzebeard men can't do!

Whatever he doesn't want to give me, I will eventually let him give it to me willingly."

Moira disappeared into the increasingly cold wind and snow with firm steps. Thorisson picked up the shotgun and tomahawk and followed.

Rend took a bite at the dwarves at the end. After experiencing Battle of Mount Hyjal, Rend also "sublimated".

Although his combat power is far inferior to Grom Hellscream, and his wisdom is far inferior to Orgrim Doomhammer, he feels that his "aura" is almost the same as Old Hellscream and Great Hammer Orgrim!

Even Old Hellscream and Great Hammer Orgrim did not rob Ironforge, but they succeeded.

Rounding it off, doesn't it exceed Old Hellscream and Great Hammer Orgrim?

So, Rend, wins!

Bald Green Skins sarcastically said:

"You dwarves are not even as good as us Green Skins! At least we won't suppress a Orcs's status just because she is a woman. Listen, my dad didn't count that time, that was Old Horde's bad habit.

At least Orgrim wouldn't do that.

Hum.

Moira will make a great career! The stubbornness in her reminds me of my sister, and she is smarter than my sister. Ah, I will see the birth of two female "Great Chieftain" in my life.

It's such an honor... ah sneeze!"

Rend Before he could finish his emotion, he sneezed hard, cursing the damn snow, picked up the dwarf's cloak, put it on his body, and rushed out like a "half-cloth".

King Magni will definitely be pissed to death.

But now no one seems to care about that old stubborn idea.

It is quite difficult to go from Dun Morogh to the territory of Dark Iron Dwarves.

Either take Thelsamar, or go all the way over the uninhabited snow-capped mountains of Khaz Modan. Both routes are dangerous, so Moira chose to take the third route, which is very counter-intuitive.

Take the sea route!

Take a boat from Kazz Modan sea area to Westfall, and then take a detour from the Redridge Mountains to Burning Steppes.

This road takes a long time, but the advantage is safety.

Dwarves instinctively hate water, so Bronzebeard's pursuers are unlikely to track them on the sea.

A few days later, the three finally crossed the human sentry of the Redridge Mountains without any danger.

This place has just been taken over by the Stormwind Kingdom and is still under military control, but Rend's current "gold partner" is a Gnoll, so with the support of Hogger, the three of them walked Gnoll in the valley of the Redridge Mountains "Ripper Valley" and bypassed most of the sentries.

Rend said that he would go to Black Morass to meet Hogger, but both Moira and Thorisson rejected this request.

The reason is very simple, Shadowforge City can no longer hold on.

At this time, two months have passed since Thorisson "disappeared". According to Thorisson's estimation, the internal fighting among the ambitious lords under his demon has reached the final step. In other words, they may summon Fire Lord at any time to carry out the "Fire Demon Succession Method".

"I must return to Shadowforge City immediately to stop those idiots from doing stupid things."

On the way to Burning Steppes, the Black Iron Emperor finally told his companions the secret that only Thaurissan Family knew.

He was so tired and tired, he stared at Blackrock Mountain looming in the distance, and said hoarsely:

"The spell that summoned Fire Lord came from my grandmother, the powerful Black Iron Witch Queen Modgud. She was the most powerful spellcaster in dwarven history. There is much evidence to prove that she was a magical demigod.

No one knows where Black Iron Witch Queen got the spell from, but in Grim Batol, when my grandmother died Wildhammer Prince Kerdros's desperate act Charge later, my grandfather Sorissan the Witch King cast a spell in the face of the double siege of Bronzebeard and Wildhammer against Shadowforge City.

The emergence of Fire Lord did push back the two races of dwarves, but it also single-handedly shaped most of the Redridge Mountains into today's Burning Steppes and Searing Gorge.

It stayed in Material World for less than ten minutes, but it permanently changed the elemental environment inside Blackrock Mountain.

What's even more terrible is that the curse was cast at the cost of all the enslavement of Dark Iron Dwarves. It was an evil spell. The first time it was cast, the curse of Fire Lord deprived Dark Iron Dwarves of his freedom.

If it happens again, we will permanently lose the possibility of resisting Fire Lord, and even life will be transformed into an uglier form.

Just like those limp fire monsters!"

He cursed:

"Now I just hope those idiots can't find the spell I stored in Black Iron Vault...:"

Before he finished speaking, the entire Burning Steppes began to vibrate.

Amidst Rend's exclamations, he saw the magma around Blackrock Mountain in the distance erupting abnormally. Countless volcanic ash was raised to cover Burning Steppes's already gloomy sky, while the temperature in the surrounding air continued to increase rapidly.

"Oops, Fire Lord is coming! The spell is activated."

Emperor Sorissan stopped in despair at this moment.

He seemed to have lost all strength and courage, and even his flaming gem-like eyes dimmed. He collapsed on the ground, facing the Blackrock Mountain flames erupting in the distance like the end of the world, and finally dropped his weapon and covered his eyes.

"We are finished, Thorisson's country is finished."

He sighed and said:

"The last Legacy left to us by Highmountain King is finished.

"What's the use of talking about this now?"

Moira jumped off her goat and pulled the weak black man up. She cursed:

"Since it was your grandmother who left the spell, did she leave any countermeasures? We are all here! Are you telling me now that everything is over?

Then was it that I was so determined not to look like a clown who couldn't do anything in my father's eyes?

I've staked everything on it!

Get up!

Waste!"

"There is no counter-spell. If there really was one, Dark Iron Dwarves would not have been enslaved for so many years. If I had to say it,

If Fire Lord wants to dominate Material World, there must be a gap leading to the Elemental Realm."

Thorisson finally regained consciousness after being slapped a few times by Emera.

He said:

"The crack left when it appeared in Material World was in the magma earth under Shadowforge City. We call it "Molten Core". If that elemental crack can be sealed, maybe...:

But there's no time now!

Fire Lord will show up soon, and there will only be three of us."

"There are three more of us."

Moira stared at the erupting volcano, gritted her teeth and said:

"You and I have no choice but to escape. We can either escape and become anonymous exiles, or we can fight for the last time.

We may not be heroes, but we won't have the courage to fight in the end, right?

I still have in my hand the communication signal gun left behind by the Thorium Brotherhood, the only group of warriors among the Dark Iron Dwarves who dared to resist the Firelord.

They won't just sit back and do nothing.

We rushed in to contact Thorium Brotherhood and fight to the death. When we left, those guys boasted that they had been preparing for more than a hundred years to fight against Fire Lord. No matter how hard they fished, after so many years, they must have something real in their hands, right?"

"I heard that those guys sent people to Kalimdor and indeed found some Water Elemental's sacred objects."

Thorisson is the Black Iron Emperor.

It's impossible to say that he doesn't know anything about Thorium Brotherhood, but this guy allowed Thorium Brotherhood to develop in Shadowforge City, which shows that Thorisson is also dissatisfied with the fact that Dark Iron Dwarves is controlled by Fire Lord.

This guy's Power Politics is quite clever.

Before they set off, Moira turned back and shouted to Rend:

"If you are willing to come with us and fight, if we can survive, I will share the power with you, Rend."

"Come on, what's the point of making cakes at this time!"

Orcs Warlord waved his hand and said:

"I know the truth about wealth and wealth, so if you survive, Emperor Sorissan will give Blackrock Spire to me, and I want a battle ax as powerful as Gorehowl in Grom's hand!"

Give my brother a handful too.

The weapons in Hogger's hands also need to be repaired, you've got them all covered!"

"Okay."

Thorisson was also furious.

The three people rushed to Blackrock Mountain as quickly as possible. Rend used Black Wolf God's message channel to send a message to Black Morass. Although he didn't know whether Hogger could arrive in time, he still hoped to get some help.

By the time they rushed into Blackrock Mountain, the rhythm of Fire Elementals in this area had reached the point where even the warrior Rend could clearly sense it.

The Blackhand's Fel Saw in his hand is hot, which is what happens when the metal is heated to high temperature.

The good news is that Thorium Brotherhood's group of rebels are not just talking about it. They have already gathered at Blackrock Mountain's internal sermon. After seeing Thorisson following him, a tough black iron Warrior rushed over to kill him.

But was blocked by Moira.

"Emperor Sorissan also wants to join us in our fight against Fire Lord!"

Moira shouted:

"Now one more person means more power! If you think about it carefully, without his connivance, would you have been able to sneak into the Dark Iron Bar series so easily?"

"Yes, I deliberately turned a blind eye, just hoping that you could come up with some solution on this matter."

Thorisson held an ax and shouted to the Thorium Brotherhood people:

"I've given you more than a hundred years, even a bunch of wastes should have some plan, right? Take it out now! I have rune stones here that can send us directly into Molten Core."

"Shout"

Thorium Brotherhood's big foreman curled his lips, and then he took out some weird-looking ice-cold water bottles from his peculiar backpack and distributed them to everyone present.

These kettles are amazing. Even in this environment where everything is heating up, holding a kettle can make people feel as cold as the twelfth lunar month in winter.

He emphasized:

"We spent a lot of money to get these from Water Elemental elders of Azshara Coast"Water Essence,

Use this Poseidon water to extinguish Ever-burning Mark of Molten Core, and block Fire Lord from entering Material World!

At this time, all the servants of Fire Lord have gathered at Shadowforge City for the summoning ceremony, and the place where Molten Core is the arrival of Ragnaros is already empty.

This is our last chance.

If the marks that maintain the elemental rifts cannot be completely extinguished before that bastard arrives, everyone will be burned to death in Molten Core!

I have nothing more to say, let's take action.

As for you, Thorisson, although it sounds strange for you to rebel against the source of your power as an emperor, we choose to believe Moira Bronzebeard.

Two months ago, when I saw her daring to lead a dozen people into Shadowforge City to catch you, I knew that this girl was the most courageous Bronzebeard Dwarves I have ever seen in my life. The legendary Muradin looked like a weak drunkard compared to her!

Therefore, you better behave decently when riding a horse, otherwise I will definitely chop off your head before we die.

Selin, look at him.

If this bitch dares to rebel, fight him to death!"

"Okay, I'm happy to do that."

A Dark Iron Dwarves wearing red armor pulled out the evil dagger, put it in front of his mouth and licked it with his tongue.

Thorisson knows this guy is trying to intimidate him, but man, is it disgusting!

You brought that Black Iron Ripper dagger to your mouth without sterilizing it? What should you do if it becomes infected?

He complained, took a pot of Water Essence, and then took out the rune stones and teleported everyone to the entrance of Molten Core.

The cave beneath the magma was now filled with terrible flames.

Those flames seemed to come alive.

They boil and jump on top of the magma, as if welcoming their master, making this place look like a burning hell.

The dwarves are not afraid. Their years of forging make them extremely resistant to high temperatures, especially Dark Iron Dwarves and Fire Lord, which cursed them but also gave them terrible fire resistance.

But Orcs cannot.

Rend At this moment, I felt like I was being roasted.

Maybe he needs a pair of kang shoes?

He regretted participating in this life-threatening action, but this guy took his face very seriously, so he could only make a fool of himself, and boasted to Dark Iron Dwarves next to him:

"What! The flame of Fire Lord is just like this. It is much different in temperature than the holy flame of Warden Diacum!"

"Can your legs stop shaking when you say this while riding a horse? You are a shameful coward."

Dark Iron Dwarves cursed very rudely, and then assigned tasks to go forward. It can be seen that they have really not wasted time in the past hundred years. They are very familiar with the terrain of Molten Core, and they set off to "put out the fire" with the essence of living water.

Thorisson didn't know what his mentality was, but he took the initiative to take on the responsibility of putting out the fire in the deepest part of Molten Core.

Before leaving, the Black Iron Emperor solemnly said to Moira:

"My name is "Daglan"."

"Huh?"

Princess Bronzebeard looked at him strangely. The Black Iron Emperor explained, "Thaurissan Family was once a wizard family. We have ancestral teachings. In order to prevent family members from being harmed by spells, everyone's real name is kept secret. Only when we die will the real name be revealed. Only those closest to us are qualified to know Thaurissan Family's name."

Thank you, Moira.

Your help helped me regain my courage. Although I may die soon, if this is the disaster my grandfather brought to my people, then as a descendant of Thorisson, I feel it is my responsibility to end it."

After saying that, the guy rushed out holding the kettle and disappeared into the beating flames.

Rend, who was roasting next to him and was in a state of ecstasy, had time to whistle obscenely, causing Moira to glare at him fiercely.

Thorium Brotherhood acted very quickly, and with the explosion of Fire Elementals, one Ever-burning Mark was extinguished one after another.

Ragnaros in the Elemental Realm also seemed to sense that its arrival was being destroyed. It roared and sent out its own fire demon to strangle these bugs to death.

Moira and Rend were quickly blocked in a passage by those ferocious fire demons. When the two were about to fight to the death, with the sound of wolf, hundreds of Ghost Wolf carrying Green Skins Orcs came out of the shadows.

The leader of them is Hogger Wolfbrother"Great Chieftain".

Hogger still wanted to have fun, grabbed his battle ax and rushed out to roar to announce his arrival. As a result, the hair on his body was ignited by the fire, and his mighty roar turned into a panicked scream in the second half of the sentence.

"Damn it! Why is this Dark Iron Dwarves so bad?"

Hogger cursed:

"I'm covered in hair! I shouldn't have come to this damn place, dog Rend, just wait for me!"

But its poor performance does not represent the toughness of the Orcss. Their ferocious culling quickly killed all the fire monsters blocking the way. These soft-skinned snakes that looked very similar to Naga were no match for the big Orcs guys who had experienced the sea-mountain battle.

But things still went wrong.

"The last rune hasn't been extinguished yet."

A Dark Iron Dwarves shouted:

"It's too late, Fire Lord is coming!"

"Daglan is still in there!"

Moira Looking at the deepest part of the cave where the flames were rolling, she screamed:

"Who is going to save him?"

No one moved.

Even Rend stretched out his hand to hold down Moira. The fire in front of him had become a solid wall of flames. Anyone who dared to get close would die inside.

"Holy Light ah!"

Moira knelt on the ground and called out piously:

"Please send down your miracle, I will Consecration everything in exchange for today's victory...:

"Boom"

There was a loud noise, and the entire Molten Core cave was shaken.

Dagran Thaurissan, who had killed several fire demons, threw away the melted battle ax in his hand and poured the essence of living water in his hand on the runes under his feet.

It was like contacting hot steel and causing mist to rise. In the phantom magma in front of him, Fire Lord's already looming elemental body was quickly "compressed". Its huge body was forced to shrink and finally turned into a projection.

But it is still an existence that is difficult for mortals to fight against.

Fire Lord stared arrogantly at the Dark Iron Dwarves at his feet who dared to look directly at it, and it scolded:

"Well done, bug! But tell me now, how can you resist the wrath of Ragnaros, a coward who got the blessing of fire but betrayed me?"

"Heh."

Thorisson knew he was dead.

He didn't pick up the weapon, he just raised his head and cursed at Fire Lord:

"Go to NMM's blessing, you deprived Thaurissan Family of his wizard blood, poured your dirty flames into our veins, and destroyed us by stepping on your horse! Go to hell, Fire Lord!"

Thorisson grabbed his own stone and threw it at the terrifying Flame Lord in front of him, and he shouted:

"One day, Dark Iron Dwarves will be free from your control! One day, we will go to your kingdom and kill you on your throne!

I can't see him anymore.

But I, this good-for-nothing emperor, have chosen a leader for my people who is strong and unstoppable!

She will become a real dwarf Empress.

And you.::

You will be her stepping stone to the throne!"

"Bug! What a pathetic fantasy!"

Fire Lord certainly has a fiery temper.

It swung its burning war hammer and smashed it down at Thorisson. The Black Iron Emperor closed his eyes and calmly accepted his death.

But after a few seconds, he didn't feel the pain of turning himself into ashes, so he quietly opened his eyes, and then saw a cold man holding a "weird war hammer" moving a pile of high-temperature waste.

There is a void rift beside the opponent that has not yet closed, and it looks extremely dangerous.

The illusion of Fire Lord that was so eloquent just now has disappeared, as if it had been smashed into pieces by a hammer.

After all, it was just an elemental projection that was barely created, and at best it had the power of a legendary figure.

"You... who are you?"

Thorisson shouted in fear.

The cold giant turned back, and his gaze was like a call from Sea of Darkness that gave the Black Iron Emperor a splitting headache.

As the shadow dispersed, Vigilant Saint stretched out his hand towards him and said in a gentle tone:

"I, Diakum Zastinss, came here in response to the call of Holy Light Walker to fight against that heavy fate. You just said that you wanted to attack Fire Lord. You were not kidding, right?

It just so happens that I have similar needs.

So, form a team?"
