Ten minutes later, the Dragon's Call opened a Dreamway, and Cenarius and Malfurion emerged.
"Come with me, Fandral Staghelm, my student."
Malfurion looked at Fandral Staghelm with a complicated expression.
He had always thought that Fandral Staghelm was his best student, a good student who would one day take on the important task of leading the Cenarion Circle, but now it seemed that not only was Fandral Staghelm naive, but he himself was also too naive.
Night Elf Druid have long lifespans, powerful souls, and strong spirits, but their willpower doesn't seem to be as strong as one might imagine.
Everyone has an untouchable weakness in their heart; Fandral Staghelm's weakness was his son.
The moment his son died, he changed. He was no longer the Night Elf Archdruid, but a father who desperately wanted to resurrect his son.
From the father's perspective, he was not wrong:
Even if it means going against the whole world, what's wrong with it if it's all for his son?
However, he was still bewitched by the Old Gods and by Xavius, the Nightmare Lord.
The temptation to resurrect one's son is immense; who could resist?
With a sigh, Malfurion raised his hand, and a large number of vines appeared, binding Fandral Staghelm, his daughter-in-law, and granddaughter, dragging them all into the Emerald Dreamway.
" Nicholas, thank you very much this time."
Malfurion looked at Jiang Jie and nodded. "Are you going to deal with the Fire Elemental Lords Ragnaros? Do you need my help?"
Emperor Thaurissan was overjoyed.
He had certainly heard of Malfurion's name.
With this person around, the chances of defeating Ragnaros have increased even more!
" Malfurion, it would be great if you wanted to stay."
Jiang Jie smiled; this was an unexpected delight.
He turned to Cenarius: "Teacher, could you stay and help?"
"I'm afraid that won't work, Nicholas."
Cenarius: "I must guard the Dream Core, wary of Xavius's return. Be careful, Ragnaros is on par with Ysera; his power surpasses all the Wild Gods. Apart from my father, no one is his match."
"I will be careful, teacher."
Jiang Jie nodded, then looked at Malfurion again. " Malfurion, be careful of Fandral Staghelm. It's best to imprison him in a well-defended place. Yes, just like you think, I don't trust the Cenarion Circle. There are definitely Fandral Staghelm's accomplices, ready to rescue Fandral Staghelm at any moment... The same goes for the Green Dragon."
A single word awakened me from my dream.
Malfurion was startled; he hadn't considered this, or perhaps didn't want to.
We definitely need to be careful.
"I'll take Fandral Staghelm with me first, I'll be back soon." Malfurion nodded, turned, and stepped into the Emerald Dream.
Jiang Jie gently shook his head.
Fandral Staghelm has completely gone mad; he's beyond saving.
He will not rest until his son is resurrected.
In Jiang Jie's view, killing Fandral Staghelm immediately was the best option.
Unfortunately, Malfurion didn't want to give up on his most valued student, Cenarius also hoped that Jiang Jie would give Fandral Staghelm a chance.
Jiang Jie had no choice but to agree to their demands.
"I hope there won't be any future problems," Jiang Jie sighed.
He turned to Emperor Thaurissan: "Then, make a decision, King of Dark Iron! These Twilight Cultists, are you still planning to keep them? To keep them around for dinner?"
Emperor Thaurissan, his face grim, waved his hand.
As each person landed, the huge hall suddenly felt much emptier.
"You are a magnificent king, Emperor Thaurissan. Your decisiveness astonishes me; it seems all the external arrangements were merely a facade. You have shown me the courage of the Dark Iron King of Dark Iron."
Jiang Jie straightened his expression and said, "Then, let's talk about the future of the Dark Iron Dwarves. Your queen would like to speak with her uncle, wouldn't you say?"
Emperor Thaurissan nodded.
Negotiations have begun!
Emperor Thaurissan was actually a very remarkable person.
To possess such powerful influence and maintain such firm control over the Anvilrage Legion and the Shadowforge Council under the control and supervision of the Firelord and fire elemental creatures is something that not just anyone can do.
In Jiang Jie's view, once Emperor Thaurissan breaks free from the control of the Firelord, he will be like a tiger descending the mountain or a caged bird escaping its cage, unstoppable and soaring to the sky.
More than 50,000 Dark Iron Dwarves!
The Anvilrage Legion's elite force exceeds five thousand!
This proportion far exceeds that of humans.
Because Dwarves have long lifespans and extremely strong physiques, their soldiers are far more numerous than humans.
One hundred humans might only have one or two, or three or four, soldiers, but one hundred Dwarves could easily muster ten or more. In an emergency, except for the elderly, the weak, the Dwarves, and the disabled, all dwarves would be soldiers; fifty thousand Dark Iron Dwarves could easily muster twenty thousand soldiers.
So don't be fooled by their small number; they're not even as big as a city like Lordaeron. The combined fighting power of 50,000 Dark Iron Dwarves is probably not much worse than Stormwind City, which is quite terrifying.
Jiang Jie made his demands, and Emperor Thaurissan also made his demands.
Then it just turned into a lot of bickering and blaming.
Jiang Jie disliked wrangling, so Emperor Thaurissan couldn't continue arguing, leading to a stalemate.
At the crucial moment, it was Princess Moira Thaurissan who made the decisive move.
" Thaurissan, freedom is more important than anything else!"
Moira stroked her belly and exclaimed, "Do you want our child to be a manipulated puppet?"
Thaurissan gave a wry smile.
Every creature has its nemesis; Princess Moira Thaurissan is his natural enemy and his nemesis.
He understood the logic, but he simply wanted to secure more benefits for the Dark Iron Dwarves.
Moira said that, he didn't know what else to say.
One hour later.
Jiang Jie stood up and said with a smile, "Then it's settled! The Dark Iron Dwarves will be responsible for wiping out all the fire elementals in Blackrock Depths, as well as the Twilight's Hammer members. We'll be responsible for killing Ragnaros and lifting the curse for you! After that, you must send two-thirds of the Anvilrage Legion to attack Blackrock Spire together with Stormwind City and Ironforge!"
"Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word?" Emperor Thaurissan was somewhat surprised by Jiang Jie's quick agreement.
"Of course you can deceive me. You can even send people to block the entrance to Molten Core and attack us."
Jiang Jie sneered, "But I hope you'll always remember: I can take your life at any time! Don't worry, even if you die, I won't harm your child. I'll send Princess Moira Thaurissan back to Ironforge. Then, having lost their king and queen, and without Ragnaros's protection, what fate awaits the Dark Iron Dwarves? I'm sure you can guess!"
"That's only if you can kill the Firelord!" Emperor Thaurissan snorted.
"You don't need to worry about that."
Jiang Jie said calmly, "Let's reorganize the army. Once I return, we'll attack Blackrock Spire!"
