Chapter 612: Taking a Stand
Storming the Blackstone Fortress was no difficult task for the combined forces of Arathor and the Stormwind Kingdom, with the former suppressing them from a distance in the safe rear, and the latter slaying down all the recalcitrant Blackstone orcs with the help of their own allies.
The battle for Blackstone Orcs was a big deal for the Orcs, but it was a small deal for Bovar, Scarlett, and Leo. The difference in strength determines the difference between the two sides, and it is not wise to provoke an enemy who is far stronger than themselves, and not everyone has the ability to defeat the strong with the weak.
Fighting is a small thing, but the problems that need to be faced after the war are a big thing.
Leo and the others had already established themselves at the entrance to Blackstone Mountain, so why did they still retreat, Bolvar was puzzled. In order to relieve the Grand Duke of the Stormwind Kingdom, and to better cooperate in the next operation, Scarlett told Boval the news that the elemental servants of the Fire Demon in the Black Stone Mountain were about to merge with the Black Dragon Legion.
Boval had no doubts about Scarlett's words, although he didn't know how the other party got the news, but Scarlett, as the queen of the kingdom of Araso and himself was also a paladin, the reliability rate of the news was close to 100%.
Bolvar didn't dare to slack off when he got the news, and he consulted with Scarlett at the same time as he told Varian, and the Molten Heart and the Blackwing's Lair had a dispute at this moment, so it would be too embarrassing for him not to take advantage of such a god-given opportunity.
The two major mountain tyrants in the Black Stone Mountain, whether the Black Dragon Legion or the Elemental Slaves, are a threat to humans, the Black Dragon Legion upholds the attitude of Deathwing's destruction of the world, although the Elemental Servants of the Fire Demon have not moved, but who knows when they will break out?
In fact, the Black Dragon Legion and the Elemental Servants of the Fire Demon are not only a threat to humans, but also a hidden danger to the entire world, with such a good opportunity to severely damage or even get rid of them, as long as people with normal brains will not let go, Varian heard about this and immediately contacted Magni in Ironforge Castle. Copperbeard and the dwarf master craftsman Mekatok, and even the Temple of the Moon of Darnassus, the king of the Stormwind Kingdom, sent a message.
There's a word for vigor, and it's a fitting thing to use for Varian.
As a warrior, Varian was a man of urgency, and the day after he got the news, he rushed from Stormwind with the news that more troops were about to be dispatched from the kingdom of Stormwind.
Of course, Leo and Scarlett are happy about this, they can eliminate the threat without having to do more on their own, and everyone will be happy if they are replaced.
"I didn't expect us to come at the right time, this time we have to destroy the black dragon and that group of elemental slaves."
Varian's clenched fists showed the king's belligerent surname, and there was no expression on Bolval's face standing behind him, but Leo was troubled by the archduke of the Stormwind Kingdom.
Warlike will die, this word Bolvar may not have heard of it, but he understands the reason, if a king is a war maniac, it is easy to destroy the whole country, but Varian is a strong king, Bolvar is a loyal nobleman, all he can do is to help Varian arrange things as well as possible.
He can only sympathize with Boval Leo, but fortunately Scarlett is not that surname, otherwise he will have a feeling of sympathy.
"King Varian, don't be impatient. With our current strength alone, even if the Black Dragon Legion and the Flame Demon's elemental servant Fire merge together, they can't take much advantage of each other, and only by gathering more strength can we inflict heavy damage on them. ”
Nodding, Varian admitted that Leo was right, and that their current strength was indeed insufficient, and the king of the Stormwind Kingdom spoke out his analysis.
"I don't know where Darnassus is, and few people can guess the attitude of the Night Elves, but Magni and Mecatok at Ironforge won't shirk."
The Night Elves have always been in a state of seclusion, and it is difficult to arouse their interest unless a major crisis breaks out that threatens the world, but fortunately, this time the target is the Black Dragon who is trying to destroy the world and the elemental servants of the Fire Demon who also want to destroy the world, which gives Varian some hope for the Night Elves to send troops.
And the Iron Fort is definitely coming, not to mention that the princess of the Copperbeard Dwarf will not ignore it for the sake of the kingdom Magni, and the scorching canyon controlled by the Black Iron Dwarf borders the territory of the Copperbeard Dwarf, and Magni is not moved.
Can the territory be expanded in the name of justice, so that the territory of the dwarven kingdom is no longer limited to Danmoro, Magni knows what to do even if his brain is caught in the door, and the bronsbeard dwarves have sent troops, and the dwarfs who wear a pair of pants with them can still stay out of the matter?
"Also, I've sent a letter to Gianna of Theramore, and if I'm right, we'll have an extra reinforcement."
Leo raised his eyebrows, he had a hunch that this reinforcement from Theramore would definitely come, if nothing else, because there was a Black Dragon Legion on the side to be calculated. The reason why Leo is so sure is not that there is any deep enmity between Gianna and the Black Dragon Legion, but the force standing behind Gianna - the Council of Kenrito.
Gianna's relationship with Violet Castle is not clear to others, can Leo not understand?
And when it comes to Ronin of Violet Castle, I have to mention a person, a dragon to be exact, a red dragon under the pseudonym Crassus who holds the power of the Kenrito Council.
In the past, when he was subduing Pelision, Leo had exchanged a message for the allegiance of the Red Dragon, that is, the news that the Red Dragon Warrior Valastaz was enslaved by the Black Dragon Prince after chasing Nefarian, and it was with this news that Pelicion agreed to become his pet at that time.
Leo didn't know what the Red Dragon had in mind, and he hadn't paid any attention to Valastaz until now, but this opportunity was delivered to the door, coupled with the news that the Black Stone Orc Chief Black Hand Red, who had deliberately walked around before, had an underage red dragon as a mount, he didn't believe it to say that Crassus and Alexta would not move.
I didn't expect to get Theramore and Dalaran involved, and now things get a lot more interesting.
Rubbing his forehead, a thought arose in Bareo's heart, most of the things that the red dragon participated in this time will not be good, can the nest of the black wings withstand the attack of the red dragon clan?
If the Red Dragon really attacked the Black Wing's Lair, Leo couldn't ask for it, then his gain would definitely not be small, and the dragon lich army would be able to expand again.
"It would be nice if there were reinforcements in Theramore, and it would be better if there was one more strength to fight evil."
Scarlett was the first to say that although there was a grit between the kingdom of Arathor and Theramore because of the Kurtiras navy, it was inevitable to cooperate against two powerful forces that were trying to destroy the world.
Leo won't dismantle Scarlett's platform, not to mention that he still wishes for an extra force to stir up the situation, how can he fish in troubled waters without the red dragon to muddy the waters?
Seeing that Leo and Scarlett did not object, Varian was relieved. If the kingdom of Arathor is resistant to joining forces with Theramore, Varian will be in a real dilemma.
"Scarlett, this time I would like to thank you for the information, so that I have a reason to ignore the orcs of Orgrimmar and want me to send troops to Silysus to deal with the beetles of the Yaki Empire, and those orcs will show their sincerity first."
Speaking of joining forces, Leo and Scarlett have a good idea because the conflict with Theramore has not intensified, but Varian is the same. He saw his father have his heart gouged out by the orc thief Garona, and that's not to mention, the orcs destroyed his country and forced him into exile in the kingdom of Lordaeron, where he took refuge in Terenus.
The hatred of the country and the family, and the resistance to the alliance with the orcs can be imagined.
Silisus's beetle people are making a lot of trouble, Thrall has already handed an olive branch to the alliance and asked the two sides to join forces, if there is no good reason, Varian naturally can't get rid of it, after all, there is also the Cenarion Council in the middle, but look at the now, the Black Dragon Legion of Blackstone Mountain and the elemental servants of the Fire Demon are going to be on fire, we have a big bargain to pick up, and the matter of joining forces with the Horde will be put aside for the time being - Leo guesses that this is the reason why Varian came to Blackstone Fortress so quickly.
Geographically, the outbreak of the Beetle Crisis in Silysus is advantageous for the Alliance, because the Beetle appears in a place that does not border the Alliance, and the Horde's territory will be the primary target of these bugs' attacks.
The Minotaur of Thunder Cliff had been dragged down by the centaurs, and the tribe had reduced one available army out of thin air, and now that the Alliance had found an excuse to delay the dispatch of troops, Thrall must be worried now.
If there was any other reason, Thrall could have conveyed his protest through the Cenarion Council, but the Alliance was now dealing with the Black Dragon Legion and the Elemental Servants of the Fire Demons, who were also threatening the world, and the threat of these two forces was no less than that of the Beetlemen, and Thrall's protest Varian could rightfully ignore it.
I didn't expect me to help Varian pit Sal, this life is really made up of countless accidents.
Leo shrugged his shoulders and his face was a little depressed, Varian also had a lot of eyes, and now he and Scarlett became the shields in his hands, which would definitely affect the tribe's opinion of the kingdom of Araso.
Is Varian going to use this as a reminder not to have both ends of the two?
As an important force of the human race, it is okay for the kingdom of Araso to have an ambiguous relationship with the tribe occasionally, but it is not okay to be ambiguous enough to cross the boundary, and everything is too much.
Leo and Scarlett exchanged a look, both of them had a clear understanding of Varian's purpose, the king of the Stormwind Kingdom was also a scheming man, but don't be fooled by his impatient temper.
"If we can't even protect our own territory and send troops across the Endless Sea to the Kalimdor Continent to support the orcs, can we be worthy of the trust of the people of the kingdom in us?"
Anyway, things have been made like this, and Leo will follow Varian's meaning, so as to show the attitude of the Kingdom of Araso - no matter what, Riptide Fort is a human kingdom after all, and at the critical moment, it is naturally from the standpoint of the human race, as for going to the continent of Karimdor to fight against the Beetle people, we will talk about it after the battle of Blackstone Mountain.
