Hellfire Peninsula, Fort Glory.

Standing in front of Danas was a messenger from Stormgard, who had brought with him a letter from Garin. Danas, who had been in the Outlands for many years, never imagined that the once most powerful kingdom of Lordaeron had fallen, and that Terenus-Minethir had died at the hands of his son Arthas, and that the entire kingdom of Lordaeron had become a paradise for the undead.

Looking at the unique emblem of the Thorbain family on the letter, Danas asked the messenger in a deep voice: "The attack of the Scourge Legion has caused damage to the entire kingdom, but is it really as serious as the letter says?" ”

Danas couldn't believe that when the tribes invaded, Stormgard had not suffered such serious injuries, and Danas had to believe it, because from the mouth of the Alliance army and adventurers from Azeroth, Danas had determined that the kingdom of Lordaeron had been destroyed, so Stormgard's collapse might be acceptable?

"The invasion of the Scourge Legion, we relied on the geographical location to hold on, the defenders of the entire kingdom fought bloody battles for several days and nights, the sharp blades in the hands of the warriors were stained with too much blood, slippery, mana depleted mages, withered priests can be seen everywhere, relying on the advantage of the high ground and the wall of Soradin, we successfully held on, but the living force of the kingdom was dealt a major blow, and a large number of the people of the kingdom died in that war."

Such a tragic experience, the messenger just said flatly, as if these tragic circumstances had nothing to do with him, and after speaking, a trace of cruelty suddenly appeared on the messenger's face: "If it weren't for that damn Gianna, we wouldn't be so miserable." Many of the people of our kingdom followed Gianna Proudmoor's expedition to Kalimdor in the west, and it was because of this that we almost lost Fort Riptide. ”

Danas sighed, on one side is Glory Castle and on the other side is Riptide Castle, Danas is still considering the trade-off between the two: "But the Outlands are full of orc threats, we can't give up Glory Castle, the orc threat has not been solved." ”

The messenger raised his eyebrows and smiled dumbly: "The threat of orcs? After the fall of Lordaeron, Azeroth has formed a tribe, with an orc named Thrall as the high chief, rescuing the orcs who were imprisoned in the shelter, the threat of the orcs has not been solved until now, and our kingdom is on the verge of shattering. The once shattered kingdom of Stormwind has risen in full force, and the Alliance of the Kingdom of Azeroth, formed by them, has completely replaced the former Lordaeron Alliance. ”

"Moreover, the ambition of the Alliance of the Kingdom of Azeroth is not small, and if we don't have enough strength, it is only a matter of time before it is absorbed and annexed. This is also what Prince Garin fears, because we have been suffering from successive disasters, and our ability to protect the people is becoming less and less, and with the reports of those who have moved to Theramore, many people choose to leave and head south to Stormwind and Theramore. ”

"What about Glory Castle? We've been here to fight the orcs for so many years, and now we're back, isn't it a waste of all our efforts? Although he said this, when he saw the additional line of Nagarin's words, his confused eyes cleared again, and the light revealed in them was only perseverance.

Danas was a little moved, his attitude was no longer as resolute as before, and the messenger's brow showed a hint of joy: "The kingdom is in danger, what do we care about those orcs?" Prince Garin wants you to entrust Fort Glory to the Alliance, Stormwind and the Orcs have a blood feud, and their main force is coming to the Outlands, they will gladly take over Fort Glory, after returning to Fort Riptide, Prince Garin intends to re-establish the defense system and expand the territory of the Kingdom of Stormgard, the Elves of the North are our best allies, and their regent has made a promise. ”

Hearing this, Danas narrowed his eyes, and he seemed to smell something: "Aren't you afraid that the elves are trying to encroach on us like the Alliance?" I had met the regent before, and he was very politically discerning, and he had been there in Lordaeron himself during the Second War. ”

Courier Wan'er: "No, those High Elves have a slow population growth, even if they get a lot of land, they will not be able to establish a stable defense due to lack of manpower, we will unite with them, they will help us behind the scenes, and we will establish a stable alliance area for them, blocking the northward pace of the Alliance, this is the reason why Prince Garin is willing to cooperate with the Blood Elves." We just take what we need and have common interests. ”

Danas took a deep breath and immediately ordered, "Everyone is ready to pack up and start preparing for the return journey." Also, contact the people of the alliance and give them this castle. ”

A series of decrees were issued, after so many years in the outer land, they were finally going to return to their homeland, in fact, Danas still wanted to go back in his heart, the reason for some resistance before was that he didn't know what happened to the other expeditionary force officers, when the five of them came to the outer land together, and now he returned alone.

Of course, the affection between friends is precious, but after reading the news on the letter that Solas Tolbaine had died in battle, Danas resolutely decided to return, and all he remembered was the original intention he had when he first went on an expedition to the outer lands.

The Courier was very happy, with the return of the troops led by Danas, the overall national strength of Stormgard could be raised to a higher level, and he would not be swallowed up by the alliance and other forces, and he would no longer have to worry about being wiped out by hostile forces.

Once Stormgard's internal affairs have stabilized, Garin can call on the people who have left Stormwind and Theramore to return.

……

Meanwhile, Shadowmoon Valley, the Hammer Fortress.

"Master Kudran, this is a handwritten letter from Lord Furstad." It was only with great difficulty that Amish Brutehammer made it to Shadowmoon Valley and found Kudran, who was leading an expedition to the Outlands alone.

Like Danas, the shocked expression on Kudran's face after reading the letter was clear, the fall of Lordaeron, the betrayal of Arthas, the advent of Akmund, the destruction of Dalaran, and the rise of the Stormwind Kingdom all stimulated the old dwarf's nerves.

"How are the compatriots of Eagle's Nest Mountain?" Kudran also didn't go back for many years, and the territory established after the Brute Hammer Dwarf moved several times was also regarded by Furstad and Kudran as the last home of the Brute Hammer Dwarves, even during World War II, the tribe used the Red Dragon Knights of the Dragon's Roar Clan to attack the Eagle's Nest Mountain, and the Brute Hammer Dwarves also copied the guys to face strong enemies.

The Hammer Dwarf migrated several times before finding the place of Eagle's Nest Mountain, and left his hometown again to find a home? The Hammer Dwarves will not do this, going north is either Lordaeron's territory or Quel'Salas's territory, to the east, the dense forest is full of trolls, and it is impossible to communicate with them, to the west, it is the territory of the Alterac Kingdom at that time, and the Alterac Kingdom will not cede a piece of land to the Hammer Dwarves.

Why not go south? The Hammer Dwarves came from the south all the way north.

It was also the spirit of fighting against the water that allowed Kudran to lead the griffin knights to fight the invincible red dragoons all over the ground, making the tribe and the red dragon fearful.
