Chapter 597: Treating the Symptoms and Treating the Root Cause

Between the Burning Plains and the Scorching Canyon, there is a large mountain that stands the famous Black Rock Mountain.

The mountain is said to have been formed by the Black Iron Dwarf Thorrisen the Great, who tried to summon elemental creatures when he was about to be defeated, but instead summoned the Fire Demon Ragnaros, and the terrain changed dramatically due to the power of the Fire Demon, and a towering mountain rose to form the current Black Rock Mountain.

If you think of it as a mountain because of the name Black Rock Mountain, you are very wrong, this mountain is far more huge than most people think, it is not so much a mountain as a mountain with only one peak.

Due to the Flame Demon Ragnaros, the Black Rock Mountain is extremely full of fire elementals, and the flowing lava is too high for ordinary people to endure temperatures, making it a gathering place for certain creatures, such as the fire elemental creatures under the Fire Demon and the Black Dragon in the Black Wing's Lair.

One mountain is difficult to accommodate two tigers, the black dragon and the fire element are both the surnames of the eldest and my second child, and it is not easy for these two to settle in the Black Stone Mountain at the same time, just because Nefarian cares about Ragnaros, and the clone of the fire demon can only operate in the heart of the molten fire, so the black dragon army and the elemental servants of the fire demon have not broken out into a real war, but their vassal forces are attacking each other.

Speaking of the vassal power Black Dragon, of course, the orcs of the Black Stone Tower, and the Fire Demon's subordinates are naturally the Black Iron Dwarves who are enslaved by it.

The Blackstone Tower is the work of the dwarven architect Frank Ron. An elaborate masterpiece of cast iron, it served as a symbol of black iron and was a stronghold of the Black Iron Dwarves until the invasion of Nefarian, the Black Dragon Prince of Deathwing.

The powerful Black Dragon Legion occupied the upper level of the Black Stone Tower and used it as a base to attack the Black Iron Dwarves on the lower levels, although he knew that the real master behind the Black Iron Dwarves was Ragnaros, the proud Black Dragon Prince did not back down because of this, he was determined to be the true master of Black Stone Mountain.

Due to the entanglement of the two forces, the Blackstone Tower was artificially divided into two layers, the lower layer has several clans in the two major races of orcs and trolls that have not returned to the tribe, and the upper layer is controlled by the Black Dragon, and on the top floor of the Black Stone Tower is the Black Wing Nest where the Black Dragon and the dragon beasts under them are located, due to the strength of the Black Dragon Legion, the Blackstone Dwarves have retreated to the lowest level of the Black Stone Abyss.

No matter how the battle in the Blackstone Tower is for humans, those are the internal strife of the enemy, and the battle between the Black Dragon and the elemental servants of Ragnaros is happy to see it happen, and the Stormwind Kingdom bordering the Burning Plains has only set up a sentry post at the junction of the plains and the Blackstone Mountain, and the biggest role of this place called the Morgan Sentry Post is to monitor the movements of the Blackstone Mountain, and its existence shows the attitude of the Stormwind Kingdom - to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

It's just that Morgan Sentinel has been in trouble recently, and this trouble has also touched the nerves of King Varian, who has recently returned to the Kingdom of Stormwind.

"The Blackstone Orcs are declaring war on us, and we must not sit idly by as they dare to build castles and camps on the territory of the kingdom. Your Majesty, send troops. ”

In the palace chamber of Stormwind Fortress, Wendthor is asking Varian for war, and due to the storm caused by Leo's butterfly, Varian's early return has dramatically changed the situation in the entire Stormwind Kingdom. The nobles of the Storm Kingdom turned a blind eye to the fact that the Blackstone Orcs were building a stone castle and setting up a camp in the Black Stone Mountain, and if it weren't for their inaction, the situation in the Storm Kingdom would not have been so corrupted, but Varian was different, the Blackstone Orcs threatened the kingdom's territory in the Red Ridge Mountain, and he would never allow it.

Although the current situation in the Storm Kingdom has improved, it is still very dangerous, although the Defia thieves group in the western wilderness of the kingdom's granary has been wiped out, the control of the land has returned to the hands of the kingdom, and the werewolves and the undead of Raven Ridge that threaten the twilight forest have also been cleared, but the freezing three feet is not a cold, and it will take time for these two lands to recover, and during this time, in addition to the abundant Elwin Forest, there is only the territory of the Red Ridge Mountain.

As the lakeside town where the Storm Kingdom controls the Red Ridge Mountain, it is not only rich in aquatic resources, but also controls several mineral veins, and is the main source of the kingdom's mineral deposits.

The people who were in charge of these things in the past were all pig brains, and they actually watched the Blackstone Orcs threaten Lakeside Town and ignored it, and the kingdom fell to such a dangerous point today, and these corpse vegetarian guys are mainly responsible.

Varian glanced at Countess Presto and snorted coldly.

If it weren't for the feelings of Bervar and Anduin Jr., if it weren't for the fact that this woman's power is really not small, if it weren't for the fact that she was really good at government affairs, Varian would have deposed her a long time ago, and she would have been allowed to continue to mess around in the core power of the kingdom.

"I'm in favor of Marshal Windsor's suggestion, but it's too much of a fuss to send troops to drive out the Blackstone orc army that threatens Lakeside Town."

Pseudonym Kashanlana. Pristo's Black Dragon Princess, Onexia, opened her mouth, seemingly opposed to Windsor's request for battle, and a flash of anger flashed across Varian's face when she heard her say so.

"Lady Kashanlana, the kingdom's territory is under threat, is that your attitude?"

Wendsol questioned loudly, the marshal was extremely disgusted with the corrupt aristocratic forces in the kingdom, and as the leader of this family of nobles, Onexia would not behave politely just because the other party was a lady, and he would not be able to speak of the so-called gentlemanly demeanor to a woman he hated with Wendsol's temper.

Ronsol questioned Aloud Onixia chuckled and shook his head as if unconsciously, as if the object of Wendsol's questioning had nothing to do with him, and the attitude of ignoring was evident in Onexia's demeanor, and Windsol looked depressed for a while.

"Your Majesty, Lakeside Town is related to the Kingdom's control of Red Ridge Mountain, any enemy that threatens it must be eliminated, but it is not enough to destroy the orc force of Stone Castle, Blackstone Mountain is the root of everything, if we want to truly remove the threat of Lakeside Town, we must deal a heavy blow to the Black Hand Clan."

Onexia's words surprised everyone in the hall, including Varian, who had expected the countess to do everything in her power to prevent the troops from being sent out, but she not only approved but also advocated making a big deal out of it.

If you want to inflict heavy damage on the Black Hand Clan, you must send troops into the Black Rock Mountain, but can you enter that place casually?

This woman has a big problem for me.

Varian frowned and sat on the throne, sending troops to exterminate the Blackstone Orcs who invaded the Red Ridge Mountain and attacking the Black Rock Mountain are completely two different concepts, the former requires less troops and consumes less than one-tenth of the latter's material resources, in terms of the current dangerous situation in the Storm Kingdom, if you want to be stable, you should naturally choose the former, but Kashanlana is not unreasonable, if you don't teach the Orcs of Blackstone Mountain a hard lesson, they will not stop harassing the kingdom. Whether to treat the symptoms or the root cause is a question worth considering.

"Lady Kashanlana, you have a point, but attacking Blackstone Mountain is too risky in the Kingdom's current situation."

Wendsor's tone softened, the marshal was a man of practice, he seldom mixed personal feelings in business, and after some serious reflection he admitted that Onexia's words were indeed correct, but it was very difficult to do.

Wendthor's concerns are also Varian's, as the king wants to hate the Blackstone orcs who infringe on his territorial interests more than anyone else, but the current situation in the kingdom does not allow it.

Varian's concerns, Onexia, had already thought of it before she spoke, and she dared to say that a lesson to the Blackstone Orcs was not a matter of words, but a long time ago.

"Yes, the current situation of the kingdom is indeed not optimistic, and we can't afford to attack Blackstone Mountain, but don't forget that the kingdom has allies, and as a member of the alliance, the dwarves, gnomes, and night elves are all forces we can rely on. And even among our kind, we have strong allies, and I believe that Queen Scarlett of Arathor will be happy to join forces with us to attack the orcs of Blackstone Mountain. ”

Onexia's words made Varian ponder, the Black Dragon Princess was right, the Stormwind Kingdom could borrow the power of other allies who were also in the Alliance camp, but the question was whether it could be borrowed? Attacking the Black Hand clan in Blackstone Mountain is not child's play, one will have to face the attack of the black dragon if it is not good, and this battle is obviously to solve the dilemma of his Storm Kingdom, the gnomes and dwarves are now busy with Nomorigan's affairs, and the night elves have always disliked nosy, so it is natural for Varian to put the idea of asking others for help behind him before discussing it.

"Riptide Castle will help us in the face of its kind, but Ironforge and Darnassus ......," Varian said, shaking his head, he really didn't think about it.

Onexia smiled like a fox stealing a chicken, an expression that surprised Varian.

Could it be that this woman Presto really has a way?

"King Varian must know about a recent event in Ironforge, the Dwarven Princess has disappeared, and it just so happens that someone has seen her in the Scorching Canyon when she is heading in the direction of Blackstone Mountain."

Varian's gaze froze: "Is this news accurate?" ”

"Absolutely." The smile on Onexia's face was even bigger, "If there is no accident Magni. Copperbeard has now received the message. ”

"Good."

Varian was very appreciative, so that he could convince Ironforge to send troops, and it was impossible for the dwarves not to help when they attacked, and with the kingdom of Araso, even without the help of the Night Elves, it was more than half the difficulty of attacking Blackstone Mountain.

A problem was solved, and in addition to appreciating it, Wari also had a hint of jealousy, and the woman Presto had calculated that she was going to ask about the Red Ridge Mountain and made arrangements in advance, and then made a decision, and then acted, she was really not simple.
