Before Stonewrought Dam was destroyed by Cataclysm set off by Deathwing, the water level of the lake in Loch Lake was very high. As one of the core territories of the dwarves, there were a large number of Bronzebeard Dwarves living around Loch Lake.
During the war of Orcs's invasion, the area around Loch Lake or the entire Loch Modan was looted by Orcs, causing the place to look a little shabby. However, compared to today's The various dwarf settlements in Wetlands and Loch Modan that have still not been completely recovered have been restored. At least Aaron did not see any camps occupied by races that are hostile to humans along the way.
"When I was still at Quel'Thalas, I thought the war was over long ago. Judging from the recovery situation here, the war seems to be continuing." Vereesa stood on the deck of Dreadwake and looked at the dwarf camp not far away, and said with emotion.
The small dwarf settlement in the distance is not very big. It is full of low-rise houses with dwarf characteristics. The walls of these houses are made of thick boulders, and the interior is dug out below the ground to create a larger space than the part above the ground. This is also the tradition of dwarf architecture. After all, the Dun Morogh where their ancestors have lived is always frozen and the weather is cold. This kind of semi-underground building is more conducive to keeping warm.
Aaron took a cursory look and guessed that there should have been hundreds of people living here in the village's heyday. However, the current situation is very bad. At least half of the houses are in varying degrees of dilapidation, and obvious signs of repair can be seen in the rest.
After hearing Vereesa's emotion, Aaron smiled and said, "The war will not end for a while."
"No way, Alliance's military strength should be at an advantage, why can't it be ended?" Vereesa looked at Aaron dubiously.
Aaron stretched out one hand and pointed to the south and said, "There is a Blackrock Spire in the territory of Dark Iron Dwarves in the south, right?"
"Of course I do."
"There are a lot of Orcs left in Blackrock Spire. They still retain the name Horde. However, Alliance's coalition forces currently have no way to break in. This war will have to be a stalemate."
"But by that time, Orcs won't be able to make any waves, right?" Vereesa asked.
"Well, it's true that those in the south can't, but those in the north will still cause trouble. Those Orcs detained in Lordaeron's concentration camp... hehe." Aaron sneered, "The Terenas king will definitely pay the price for his plan."
"Then why don't you remind him?"
"How do I remind him that the Orcs prisoners he plans to conquer and organize into a strong army will escape from the concentration camp? Terenas won't believe it." Aaron shook his head and briefly explained the current status of these Orcs prisoners and Vereesa.
Orcs after drinking the blood of Mannoroth, their strength and physique were greatly enhanced, and they also became fanatical and Bloodlust. However, as time passed, the power of Demon Blood in their bodies gradually faded, Orcs The Zs were troubled by the aftereffects of drinking Demon Blood. The Orcs who had not yet been captured barely maintained their original state. However, most of the Orcss in the concentration camps are now in an extremely weak state. Let alone escaping from the concentration camp, they do not even show resistance.
"That's it..." Vereesa said in a half-understanding manner, "Then why does Orcs still cause trouble?"
"This state is not permanent. Besides, Lordaeron's guarding measures against Orcs are quite loose. After all, they did not expect that Orcs would get back on their feet." Aaron spread his hands, then pointed at the mountains in front of him and said, "Hold on tight, we are going up now."
After saying that, Aaron controlled Dreadwake and began to slowly rise along the slope of the mountain. As Dreadwake got higher and higher, Aaron clearly felt that the temperature of the environment began to drop, and the plants growing around it gradually began to change, becoming species suitable for growing in cold environments.
"It's really a bit cold here." Vereesa stamped his feet, returned to the cabin, put on the cold-weather clothes he had prepared, and said to Aaron, "Before, I thought the temperature was about the same as when it snows in winter."
Vereesa, who grew up in Quel'Thalas, had no clear idea of the cold in Dun Morogh before. When he saw Aaron buying so many thick clothes as if he was in danger, he thought Aaron was too prepared. But now he realizes that Aaron may not be prepared enough.
"If that doesn't work, you can put on the ones I prepared for you. I find that I'm not that cold." Aaron said to Vereesa. He was just wearing a leather jacket to withstand the cold wind howling among the snowy mountains, and he didn't feel too cold.
"That's it. If you wear more clothes, it will affect your movements." Vereesa waved her hand and rejected Aaron's proposal. As a ranger who needs to maintain agility, she doesn't want to wear too many clothes to affect her reactions.
"If you feel cold, you should wear more clothes. It won't be good if you catch a cold." Aaron said with concern, "Dun Morogh should be relatively safe, there is no need to be so careful."
"Don't worry, I'm just a little uncomfortable because of the sudden exposure to such a cold environment. Now that I think about it carefully, this should be enough for now." Vereesa waved his hand, indicating that Aaron shouldn't worry too much about himself.
"Okay," Aaron didn't continue to persuade. He controlled Dreadwake to slowly climb over the snow-capped mountains in front of him. It could be seen that behind the mountain was a gently undulating plain. This snowfield was completely covered with snow, and only a few narrow paths had been cleared of snow. Dreadwake slowly descended along the mountain road to the flat ground below, and flew slowly to the west along the path below.
"Is this Dun Morogh?" Vereesa looked at the surrounding environment with some excitement. She had never seen such a scene. Even the constant cold wind here could not stop her excitement.
In order to make it easier for Vereesa to enjoy the snow scenery, Aaron deliberately slowed down Dreadwake's flight speed and lowered the height of the ship to a height that was basically the same as the canopy of the surrounding trees.
"Bang!" At this moment, a gunshot rang out in the forest, and a red signal flare quickly rose into the air and exploded in the air, startling countless birds living in the forest and interrupting Aaron and Vereesa's enjoyment of the snow scene.
Although he knew that those who could use firearms were basically dwarves and were not enemies, in order to avoid being misunderstood by the other party as being hostile, Aaron hurriedly controlled Dreadwake to slowly stop in place, waiting for the dwarf who fired the warning shot to appear.
"Is this ship still too conspicuous?" While waiting, Aaron complained to Vereesa with some distress, "Why do you feel that wherever you go, others will react so violently?"
