20.Gold, Glory and the Call of War (M)

"What did you say Dassault suddenly invited us for?"

Old Fording in a ceremonial dress stood on the rooftop of the New Hearthdale, with an endless frozen sea in front of him, and the pale white cold ice mist suspended on the sea, obscuring the distant scene, from this height he could clearly see the docks of the New Hearthdale, and in the bay covered with ice and snow, there were several warships docked, which were the surface troops of the Order, not many of them, but enough to meet the needs of the Death Knights to hunt demons and evil creatures.

In the face of Fordin's inquiry, Mograini, the great knight leaning on the white railing, tasted the wine in his hand and said casually:

"Nobody knows, that guy was a stuffy gourd when he was alive, and even more silent when he died, but he's not a joker, and if he says one thing is more important, then it's definitely very important."

The old knight closed his eyes and poured the cold, mellow wine into his mouth, and after a few seconds, he breathed a sigh of relief:

"But if you have to ask me to give you an answer, then I guess it has something to do with some of the actions of the "Dark Justice League" not long ago, I heard... They went among the stars. ”

"Between the stars?"

Old Ferdin's eyes narrowed, and he propped his hands on the railing, and he said:

"It's like a dream, it's like overnight, and the war on the ground is no longer enough for everyone... Tulayan has called us to the Temple of Void Light to guard the border to the stars, and now the Dark Alliance is advancing towards the stars, perhaps we are really old, O stars, it is a realm we have never set foot in. ”

"That's just another battlefield, Fordin."

Mograini drank all the wine in his hand, and he said indifferently:

"There is no essential difference between there and here, warriors of all civilizations, armed with all kinds of weapons, howling to kill or be killed by opponents, to win glory and spoils, there may be more barbarism than here, but for you and me, it seems to be more like a good place."

"That's right."

Old Fording smiled, and said no more.

He and Mograini had been on the battlefield with their fathers since they were adults, they had spent their lives in war, and for them, peace was only a preparation for the next war, and people like them, whether they were righteous or otherwise, had already been integrated with war.

For ordinary people, war is a nightmare of horror, and for people like them, war is life itself.

"It seems that Dassaulthan is determined to do something big."

Leaning on the railing of the rooftop, Ferding waved to the new visitor below, and said to Mograini, who was beside him:

"Uther is here, too, and the High Druid of the Blightring, the Great Shaman of the Ring of the Earth, the Trade Prince of the Goblin Consortium, oh, those are some councillors from the Federation, and it looks like our old brother is about to stir up a storm that will sweep the world."

——————————————————————

New Hearthvale, a fortress complex built on the southeast coast of the Dragonbone Wilderness, is the base camp of the Order in the world of Azeroth, and after years of construction, this fortress group originally used for war has gradually evolved into a small city, where the Empire people who came to Grizzly Hill to pioneer occasionally sell some things, and because of the protection of the Death Knights, it is relatively safe, and some pioneers have moved their homes here.

Although living next to the undead is a bit psychologically difficult to accept, considering the threat of the bears and frost trolls in the Grizzly Hills, it is more important to live a small life.

Today, several roads leading to the outside world in New Hearthvale are under martial law, and heavily armed Death Knights patrol the surrounding snow, unleashing large numbers of ravens to seal off the airspace, using this three-dimensional protection to ensure that the meeting between the big shots in the Cathedral of Death in New Hearthvale will not be disturbed.

As the elder Verding said, the guests were all noble, and each of them represented a force, chatting with each other in the simple and quaint Cathedral of the Dead, engaging in some diplomatic and political conversations, waiting for the reception to begin.

No one knows the true purpose of the Order's party, but everyone who comes here has their own thoughts, and a lot of information can't be hidden from their eyes, just as Mograine can guess the Order's thoughts, everyone here is a truly smart person, and they are all waiting for the Order's chips.

Trying to draw them into the war of the Dark Alliance is not an easy task, unless it allows them to see tangible benefits.

"Ding"

The sound of metal hitting the glass caused everyone in the Cathedral of Death to stop talking, and when they looked up, they saw the rare Grand Lord of the Order Saidan in a formal dress. Da Sohan walked onto the stage, the tall death knight did not hide his appearance, lifted the previous heavy helmet to disguise, everyone only then realized that the original Da Sohan knight was a bald head...

Uh, well, it's actually nothing, the problem of hair loss, a lot of people have it.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Knight Da Sohan was not a well-spoken leader, his dark blue eyes looked at the visitors below, he leaned over them slightly, and then without foreshadowing, he went straight to the point:

"Just 2 days ago, the Order, the Black Scythe Council, and Illidare, the tripartite cooperation of the Dark Alliance, completed the clearance of the three demonic strongholds located in the stars, and the first phase of the Star War has been completed, and you are invited here today to discuss the cooperation of the second phase of the war... To show our sincerity in cooperating with the various forces of Azeroth, I invite you to the stars..."

As soon as Dasuohan finished speaking, behind him, with the cooperation of the warlocks, another prototype of the Evil Energy Star Gate was activated, and a swirling vortex portal shining with a halo of evil energy appeared in front of everyone's eyes, this thing was like a miniature version of the dark door, between the swirling energy vortexes, dotted with beating starlight, it looked extraordinarily magnificent and fantastic.

And everyone in the audience was frightened by the blunt description of the Death Knight.

They guessed the beginning of the story, but they didn't guess the end of the story, these madmen of the Dark Alliance, so calmly, so easily put everything they got through the war under the bright reality.

This is a portal to the stars, and even if everyone is willing to trust the Order, it is still not in line with the way these big people act.

Everyone you look at me, I look at you, waiting for the first person to act, or rather, waiting for a guinea pig.

"I'll do it."

The Grand Knight of Mograine, who had a glass of wine in his hand, stood up from the sofa, drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, and then reached out to take the Silver Hand Hammer handed by the squire, and then carried it behind the luxurious gown so roughly, he walked forward, and everyone made way for the great knight, Mograini stepped on the stage, he looked at Da Sohan's bald head, and said:

"More than ten years... Totally bald, huh? ”

Grand Knight Dathohan pursed his lips, as if he didn't want to answer the question, and Mograini turned his head to look at the starry portal in front of him, and he whispered:

"I'll make sure again, there's no hell behind this door, right?"

"It's not funny! Alessandro. ”

Da Sohan turned around, straightened his clothes, and stepped into the portal in full view of everyone, and the Grand Knight of Mograine followed his footsteps without fear, and also stepped into it, this action made some of the sensual ladies in the audience can't help but let out an exclamation, but just ten seconds later, the Grand Knight of Mograine walked out of the vortex again.

The great knight waved his hand, as if to dispel the unpleasant smell on his body, and he stood on the stage and said to the big men below:

"No problem, it's safe over there, there's breathable air, there's a whole land, and trustworthy guards, uh, ladies better have an extra silk scarf, the smell over there... It doesn't smell very good. ”

The Grand Knight of Mograini is a loyal Knight of Light, and his assurances are trustworthy, and after the Knight of Mograine, another Grand Knight of the Order of the Silver Dawn, Old Fortin, and the High Knight Uther, who came on behalf of the Church of Light, and some Paladins of the Holy Light entered the portal first, followed by the High Druid Deer Helm of the Blightcall, and then the Grand Shaman Nobudton.

The pure politicians waited until everyone was almost gone, then they slowly stood up, changed into the light armor taken by the attendants, put on the enchanted masks, took the life-saving ornaments, and then walked into the portal under the escort of the heavily armed samurai.

In order to take care of these dignitaries who don't go to the battlefield much, the warlocks deliberately reduced the frequency of the Star Gate to a minimum, so that the energy oppression that can make the life that passes through the portal less intense, but Rao is so, there are still a few delicate ladies who were rushed into the healing hall of the Black Scythe Council after stepping through the Star Gate because of the strong sulfur smell surging here.

The men didn't want to lose face in front of other people, Rao was really uncomfortable, and they had to hold cigars and canes, pretending not to care.

However, after stepping out of the portal hall and seeing the outside world, everyone's eyes became dull at this moment.

In order to take care of the fragile minds of the nobles of Azeroth, the portal of the Dark Alliance was not directly opened in Niskara, which was still at war, or Xonos, which was still shrouded in the fog of death, but chose the safest rift of the terror, but Rao was so, the first time he really stood in the stars, and saw the lonely starry sky, which still shocked these beings walking on the earth.

Before their eyes, the shattered band of stones of the shattered world spread across the horizon, as well as the wreckage of the world that had completely collapsed in the center of the rubble, a third of the earth's crust and the core of the world polluted by evil energy, the dark green magma flowing in the void, and beyond, the dying red sun.

All of this is so shocking.

Some of the fragile people turned pale with fright, and they subconsciously retreated, trying to return to the warm and lovely Azeroth through the portal, but the portal had been completely closed.

"Welcome to the stars."

A deep voice sounded in front of the eyes of the people who were stunned by the stars, and they turned their heads to see the archkarcist Kel'thugad standing there, and the Dalaran ** master Luo Ning beside him, obviously, before the others came to the stars, the archkarist had already completed a deal with the mages of Dalaran through his own connections.

Ronin's presence here meant that the Council of Six was already on the side of the Warlocks.

"Master Ronin? Why are you here? ”

The envoy who came here on behalf of the High Elf Kingdom, Lotherma. Count Theron looked at the helpless ** division in surprise, and the latter shrugged his shoulders and whispered:

"Because the Dreadmark Rift will be Dalaran's magical observatory among the stars, as well as a base for some magical experiments that are not suitable for conducting in Azeroth, the Council of Six has voted to build a town here, and we will have a name for it, called Kenrito Town."

Speaking of this, Luo Ning glanced at the Grand Karcist beside him, and he said a little against his will:

"This place is actually quite good, you will find out in a little longer."

"Alright, everyone, please allow me to take you on a tour of the Dreadmark Rift, friends who are interested in observing the demon war can follow the warriors of Ilidarare to the battlefield of Niskara for a while, and friends who are interested in special civilizations and antiquities can choose to go to Xonos."

Kel'thugad clapped his hands and focused everyone's eyes on him:

"Believe me, guys, here you will find everything you need... Oh, by the way, where are the federal parliamentarians? Follow my Warlocks to receive your starships. ”

Kel'thugad's eyes narrowed, and a strange light flashed:

"The starship that Speaker Edwin ordered from us has docked at the starport of the Terror Rift."

As soon as the Grand Karcist's words fell, several councilors on the Federation's side immediately became excited, they had indeed heard about starships from Speaker Van Cleeff before they came, and they thought it was just a joke, but they didn't expect that there were really starships belonging to the Federation here.

Compared with the happy smiles of the federal councilors, the faces of several kings on the side of the empire immediately became very gloomy.

They don't know if this is an ulterior deal between the Federation and the Dark Alliance, but there is no doubt that now that the Federation has received a starship gifted by the Warlocks, the Great Empire is lagging behind in the field of stargazing!

This is simply intolerable!

Now it seems that in this game of the war of the stars, the empire must enter!

Dry TM's Federation!
