The struggle in the Valley of Thorns will last for a long time.

The Blightcallers are menacing, but the Gulabash trolls have inhabited this dense forest for thousands of years, and they have their own advantages.

The troll city of Zul Grab was a famous city during the Zendala Empire, and after the collapse of the sky, it was carefully maintained and repaired by the trolls, this ancient city has always existed as a sacred priesthood, and the power of at least 4 beasts Loa is shrouded here, and under the protection of the strange voodoo power given by Loa, it is not so easy to break through the city.

And there is also the power of the evil god that has re-emerged in the panic of the people, and in the history of the fantasy world, any guy who is named an evil god is not very easy to deal with. Not to mention Haka the Soul Reaver, an ancient demon who has left a mark on the annals of Zandalar trolls.

But frankly, the world has not paid much attention to the war in the Valley of Thorns, and for civilizations that have begun to be in turmoil, it is much more important to preserve their own existence than to pay attention to the evil beliefs of some barbarian people.

In the snow-capped mountains of Kazmodan and the wilderness of the Barren Lands, the Necrons are appearing more and more frequently, which represents a terrible reality that is taking place little by little, and the undead have only made a short stop after swallowing the entire Stormwind Kingdom, and then let their iron hooves continue again.

The clouds of war were gathering in the icy skies of Kazmodan, and not only the copperbearded dwarves who lived in Ironforge felt the smell of gunsmoke, but even the High Elves of Quel'Thalas, who had never been very involved in the affairs of the continent, reacted to it.

Just 2 days ago, reinforcements from the Human Empire once again entered the various defenses of Ironforge Fortress, including a whole group of well-trained High Elf Ranger and accompanying mages, this is the fourth army of the Empire to support the dwarves in the past month, and it seems that the Human Emperor Lothar has finally reached an agreement with those kings.

They agreed to the request of King Magni of Ironforge and deployed a heavy army in Kazmodan to make the cold snow-capped mountains a strategic "buffer" to prevent the undead from approaching the Empire's borders.

And the strange thing is that in the face of the alliance of the Human Empire and the Dwarven Kingdom, every day Kazmodan becomes more tricky, like a war beast equipped with fangs and armor, it becomes more ferocious every day, but beyond the mountain, the number of undead legions stationed on the periphery of Kazmodan has not increased...

"Numbers are the absolute advantage of the undead, and as long as Tyrion still has a shred of sanity, he can't give up this advantage."

On the griffin soaring over the snowy sky, Danas, the commander of the vanguard of the Human Empire. Dressed in a snow-white cloak, Torbain blended in with a group of Hammer Griffon Knights, and swept away the undead's forward base in Kazmodan, and he looked down with his binoculars, the undead had built a large base in the plains of the snow-capped mountains, and they cleared the snow from the ground, and from a distance, it looked like an ugly black scar in the snow-capped hillside.

It was a huge castle made of stone, surrounded by strange psychic towers, and above those stone towers, green magic eyes were hovering, whether it would change the direction of observation to ensure that no enemy would sneak up on the fortress.

"There are at least 60,000 undead here!"

The best brute-hammered griffin knight, Kudran, touched the snowflakes on his beard and said with a gloomy expression:

"There are so many dead people, just the vanguard, it's as big as half of our army, and looking at those walking corpses makes people feel dizzy at a glance."

"On the surface, it does look like it's hard to beat, but that's just the appearance."

Danasmo held the magnification of the telescope, and while carefully observing the defenses of the fortress of the undead, he encouraged his comrades:

"But the Stormwind Kingdom has fought with them, a standard Darkblade army has 70,000 people, but three-quarters of them are servants, skeletons or temporarily awakened walking corpses, for unarmed civilians, it may be very difficult to deal with, but for well-trained soldiers, these servant armies are much less threatening, the most troublesome is the remaining quarter, those who occupy the command level, death knights, dark warlocks, some hellish vampires or some other monsters."

"Your Majesty Lothar has fought against them, Kudran, they are not invincible, and the fall of the Storm King's ** team is not without gains, we have seen their weaknesses."

"Smack"

The general threw the binoculars in his hand into his backpack, and the terrain of the fortress of the undead was already in his mind, and he took the reins of the griffin and said to the dwarf:

"The best way to deal with the undead is not to be brutal, not to send yourself into an endless circle of dead people, the best way is to find their "head" and then cut it off, the lower undead who have lost their command will become chaotic, and that is our chance. ”

A hint of murderous intent flashed in the general's eyes:

"At that time, all it took was a fire and some oil to burn all these walking corpses."

"Fire and oil? Awesome! ”

Kudran's thick laughter was heard far away in the wind and snow:

"Then we're lucky, as far as I know, there are a lot of these two things in Ironforge Castle."

———————————————————

"Welcome to Ironforge at this critical time, and on behalf of the Copperbeard Royal Family and all the dwarves of Ironforge, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude for your arrival."

In the throne room of Ironforge, Magni. The Copperbeard King was on a highchair made for the dwarves, barely keeping him in sight with the rest of the attendees, and the table in front of him was filled with dwarven food and wine for a grand welcome feast, and the Copperbeard King, dressed in a rich robe, held a delicate glass in his hand.

It stands to reason that at a time when the country is threatened, this kind of welcoming banquet should be simple, but the dwarves are such a character..."Warm", not to mention that the Copperbeard King also wants to take this opportunity to stir up the recent heavy atmosphere in the city of Ironforge, so in this huge underground city, every city has a public banquet today.

I have to say that these noisy short men are very talented in the matter of holding banquets, and now the whole city has become a sea of revelry.

Of course, for kings and commanders, the banquet may have been more of a conversation than a mere pleasure.

"The dwarves have always been the most loyal allies of the Human Empire, and we will not shirk when you need it."

General Danas took a sip of the wine in his hand with great restraint, and said to the dwarven king:

"Your Majesty Magni, I fought with you in the Orc War, and we are comrades who fought side by side, so let's stop wasting time on red tape and talk about the current situation... How much do the dwarves know about the undead? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is also a matter of great concern to Quel'Thalas."

Coming on behalf of Quel'Salas, Councillor Silvermoon, Master Romans put down the glass in his hand very decently, and his calm and wise eyes stared at King Magni, and he whispered:

"As I left Quel'Thalas, His Royal Highnesses the Sun King and Prince Kael'thas repeatedly told me to gather enough information about the undead... The news of the fall of the Stormwind Kingdom is so shocking that we have to face up to this new threat that has emerged from the southern frontier. ”

"Okay."

King Magni sighed, and he put down the golden wine cup in his hand, which was very dwarven in style, and stroked his beautiful orange beard, and said to the commanders and messengers who sat before him:

"We do know a little more than humans, and the source of these messages is a person I can't reveal, but I can assure you that they are true... In fact, long before the undead invaded the Stormwind Kingdom, they were already carrying out sabotage operations under the surface of Azeroth that we didn't know about, Dark Furnace City, Blackstone Tower, these places that we ignored, they fell before the Stormwind Kingdom. ”

"As far as I know, the royal family of Thorrisen in Darkfurnace has been overthrown, although on the surface this is an internal rebellion, and the Thorsilver Brotherhood has betrayed the rule of Darkfurnace, but in fact, the black hand behind this matter is the undead, to be precise, Tyrion. Dawnblade, my woman... Ahem, I mean, my agent saw him on the day the Darkforge fell. ”

"Well, that's bad news."

General Danas's brows furrowed: "This means that there will be hundreds of thousands of black iron dwarves in the army of the undead?" That's enough for them to form at least 7 more legions..."

"No, no, no, no!"

King Magni shook his head, he took his glass, took a sip of wine, and said to Danas and the others:

"My spies told me that the undead didn't kill those Black Iron Dwarves, but only killed all their soldiers, so the Black Iron Dwarves who joined the undead side would not exceed 50,000, and the agents of Ironforge Castle have been operating in Dark Furnace City, where the demons are now dancing wildly, and the nobles of the Black Iron Clan have been thrown into the mines, while the commoners have been gathered and sent to work in the factory... It is said that they are forging armor and weapons for the undead, and what is even more incredible is that the undead actually pay them. ”

"Wait, they did the same in Darkhearth?"

General Danas's eyes widened, he looked at the others who were puzzled, and after a moment of silence, he explained:

"There is some news circulating within the empire, you may not know, the civilians of the Stormwind Kingdom did not all withdraw in the disaster of the fall of the kingdom, and there are still 12-140,000 people stranded in the entire kingdom on the original land, but like the Black Iron Dwarves of Darkfurnace City, the undead did not kill them, but sent them back to their original land, leaving the human traitors who served the undead forces to manage them... Frankly, this news worries the nobles within the empire. ”

"Why?"

**Shi Romans asked curiously:

"Why are the nobles worried? Isn't it a good thing that the people escaped the fate of the massacre? ”

"Yes, the civilians escaped being killed, but the problem is that in the new system run by traitors... There were no nobles, no kings, no everything we knew, and according to the words of our spies, the current administrative system there was a strange parliamentary system, and they preached the idea that all men were equal, and some traitors even bewitched the commoners by saying that they wanted to ... To send the kings to the gallows, and then let the people themselves rule. ”

General Danas spread his hands helplessly:

"It's a dangerous idea, and there are already a few commoners who are willing to accept the management of that strange new system, which is dangerous in the eyes of the nobles, at least in the eyes of the nobles, so they have "helped" us a lot in the past few months. ”

"It's unimaginable."

Rao is elf ** master has lived for more than 2,000 years, and he has never heard such a novel rumor in his outstanding knowledge, but after a while, he scoffed at it:

"Splitting, provoking, captivity, there is no doubt that the commander of the undead is a smart man, but his purpose of containing these living is probably not so simple."

**The teacher talks eloquently to others:

"The birth and growth of life is the law of nature, and the undead appear against this law, in times of war, Tyrion can easily make his group stronger, but the war will always end, after the peace comes, how can the undead ensure their continuity? Captivity, captive enough living people, hasten their death in some evil way... This will allow the undead to have their own legacy. ”

"Well, you're right, ** teacher."

King Magni nodded:

"That's what my royal advisors told me, but my agents disagreed, and Moira insisted that the undead weren't just keeping the Black Iron Dwarves in captivity, but had made some deals with them that we didn't know, and she told me that her entourage had heard some conversations between Tyrion and the Death Lords in the Darkforge City, and that the Lord of the Darkblades kept saying that a new order would be established."

The Dwarven Kingdom shook its head:

"I know she's reminding me, but my baby must have been terrified."

"Wait, Moella, a girl? She's your secret agent? ”

General Danas asked curiously, and the question quickly annoyed King Magni, who had slipped his tongue, stared at Danas with the glass in his hand still on the table, and after a moment he became dejected again:

"Well, Moira is my rebellious daughter, and she's Thorrisson's queen... It's my family affair, don't be too curious, okay? ”

"Okay, okay."

General Danas shrugged his shoulders, he picked up a document in his hand, looked at it a few times, then raised his head and asked:

"One last question, about the tunnel of the underground railway between Ironforge and Stormwind, I heard that it is almost finished, but now that Stormwind is occupied by the undead, what are you going to do with that tunnel?"

"The undead will crawl down that tunnel and strangle us all, so what else can we do?"

Copperbeard threw a chicken wing into his mouth, and the bones and flesh clicked, and he said indistinctly:

"We're just going to blow it up."
