13. Snow in Alterac

The kingdom of Alterac has disappeared into the dust of history. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This country, one of the seven kingdoms split from the human empire Alaso, was originally a beautiful snow country, and it is said that in its heyday, it could also have a very good voice in the Seven Nations Alliance, and its national position was relatively easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Alterac Valley and one-third of the Hillsbrad Hills are not large, but they are rich in resources, and the physical fitness of the Alterac people who live in the ice and snow all year round is also stronger than the people of other kingdoms.

However, in the Second Orc War, in the face of the orc coalition army that fought all the way from the south, and in the face of the greatest and most strategic Great Chief of the Old Horde, Orgrim - Doomhammer, the king of the kingdom of Alterac at that time, Aiden Perionod, finally reached a secret agreement with the orcs because of the fear of the future of destruction and his own cowardly and ruthless character.

He opened the way guarded by the Alterac Kingdom, and let the orcs enter the hinterland of Lordaeron, resulting in the siege of the royal city of Lordaeron, if it were not for Gul'dan's betrayal, I am afraid that there would have been no existence of the Lordaeron Kingdom more than ten years ago.

However, the betrayed orcs eventually reluctantly retreated to the southern settlement, which led to the repression and secret revenge of the Perinord royal family after the other northern kingdoms eased up.

King Aiden died, the kingdom of Alterac fell, and all the citizens were forcibly relocated to other kingdoms, and after more than a decade, even the most loyal citizens had to accept a new identity.

Of course, the royal family of Perynod is not extinct, and the Assassin organization "Syndicate", which has moved its base camp to Stratholme City and East Dharon Mill, is actually composed of the remnants of the Alterac Kingdom, and its leader, Oriden Perionord, is a direct descendant of King Aiden, a super powerful assassin.

However, judging from the original historical process, the syndicate, which was suppressed by the Assassin League from beginning to end, failed to complete the great cause of recovering the country in the end, but in the new history, Dick gave Auriden a chance to choose again, he never promised to help Auriden restore the country, but smart people always know that some things are not needed at all, and they cannot be said.

Dick transferred the command of Thurberchel's defense to Erigor, an old fellow who had hurried from the Hillsbrad Hills, and the representative of the Abbey of the Light, the old subordinate Miss Whitemayne, and then took Liadline, in a light car, and spent a day and a half crossing the Silver Pine Forest into the Dagger Heights of Cowland, in the Hillsbrad Hills.

This is the gateway to the Alterac Valley, and is home to the Thunderspear Dwarves who currently occupy a third of the Alterac Valley.

The Thunder Spear Dwarves are a branch tribe of the Copperbeard Dwarves, and they are also the most capable dwarf tribes under the command of the Iron Furnace Castle.

Thanks to the good relationship between the Knights of the Silver Hand and the Dwarven Kingdom, Dick and Liadline were immediately warmly welcomed by the Thunderspear garrison of the Dagger of Coran, after revealing their identities.

Dwarves have loud voices, they are generally only half the height of adults, most of them have beautiful long beards, and in remote places, dwarves are called "beard monsters" or "beard spirits".

But the sturdy body, and the blood from the ancient Titans, but give them unimaginably powerful power, when fighting head-on, a heavily armed dwarf warrior, can easily suppress more than 3 human soldiers, but as a fantasy xenomorph with a lifespan of more than 1000 years, the number of dwarves is a big disadvantage, 300 years ago, there was no division of the big dwarf kingdom, there were 140W people, after the split, the strength of the copperbeard kingdom was the strongest, but there were only less than 60W dwarves.

The dwarves love wine and bustle, worship heroes and strength, and in their bodies, it is as if a fire is burning all the time, so that their spirits are always high. Dick's deeds at Quel'Thalas and Lordaeron were praised by the dwarves, and a large banquet was even held especially for his arrival.

After drinking 10 cups of flaming ale from the enthusiastic Thunderspear Dwarves, Dick and Liadeline managed to escape, and under the personal guidance of Ekman, the commander of the Dagger Air Force of Coran, the two men mounted their heavily armed griffons and continued towards the Alterac Valley.

The flaming ale melts in the mouth, the sweet taste makes people very comfortable, and the degree is actually not very high, but after drinking ten cups in a row, even Dick, who had been tested for a long time in his previous life, felt dizzy, but when the giant beast in the air, the griffin in heavy armor screamed, spread its wings and flew thousands of meters into the air, the cold wind that came to his face immediately made Dick shiver and regain consciousness.

Liadrin, who was held in his arms, wrapped the bearskin wrapped around her body even tighter, for the elf lady who has always lived in the warm Quel'Salas, the weather here is simply terrible!

"Hahaha, feel the welcome of Alterac in a different way, young man Dick, hold on, we're going to speed up!"

"Fly, Xunyu! Raise your wings and let the sky sing for you! Fly, hahaha!"

On the other side of the two griffins, Thunderspear Air Force Commander Aikman laughed and shouted at the two men, this old dwarf with green flying goggles, a musket on his back, and a heavy axe on his waist, his personality was like a naughty child, but his accurate jokes made neither of them hateful.

In fact, humans prefer to deal with honest dwarves compared to cold elves and extremely intelligent gnomes, and it is very easy to befriend these seemingly rude aliens, you just need to treat them with your heart, and they will treat you with your heart.

At Aikman's shout, the griffin under Dick and Liadline chirped highly, and increased its flight speed again, and now, the oncoming cold wind really slashed on Dick's face like a knife wearing flight goggles.

"Ahhhh

"Hahahaha!"

Dick's wails and dwarven laughter soon disappeared in the air at a height of a thousand meters, and the beautiful and quiet veil of Alterac was unveiled for the first time in front of Dick and Liadline's eyes in the cold snowflakes that had been fluttering all year round.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the middle of the Alterac Valley is the Great Plains known as the Plains of Conquest, which is already the frontier of the Thunderspear Dwarves.

It is often said that in order to see the value of a person, it is only necessary to observe the level of his enemy. This is also common in the wizarding world.

Field Marshal of the Thunderspear Expeditionary Force, Vandal Thunderspear, the most famous victorious general of Ironforge, rode on his goat, using a sophisticated dwarf engineering telescope to carefully observe the dense forests of the northern part of the conquest plain.

In the 20 years of the Dark Gate, the human world has almost become a pot of porridge, and the alien world is not peaceful.

As the Thunderspear Dwarves expanded, they inevitably clashed with another tribe living in the Alterac Valley.

Orcs! And frostwolf orcs who follow the way of shamans!

This orc tribe was once one of the most powerful tribes in the orc world of Draenor, but when the other orc tribes were lured by the fallen Great Shaman and later the Grand Karcist Nao Zu to drink the blood of demons, only the Frostwolf Clan refused this "gift of demons".

They also went from being the most powerful to the weak, and even the chieftain, the heroic orc hero Durotan and his wife, were assassinated by the assassins of the Shadow Council, and the entire clan was finally used as a pathfinder by Naozu and Guldan, that is, outcasts, and forced to be the first to enter the northern frontier.

But under the leadership of the wise frostwolf shaman Drektar, the frostwolf clan hid in the Alterac Valley, and the Alterac kingdom was completely unable to expel these heroic orcs, so they could only let it go, and after the fall of the Alterac kingdom, the frostwolf clan officially became the master of this valley... One.

Under the constraints of Drektar, the Frostwolf Clan stayed at the northern end of the Alterac Valley, never attacked humans, and lived an incognito life, maybe because of their attitude, maybe for other reasons, in short, the other forces in the northern frontier, although they all knew about the existence of this orc, but no one took the initiative to drive them away.

It wasn't until the Thunderspear Dwarves began to expand that the conflict really happened.

At first, it was just a small friction, but whether it was a dwarf or an orc, they were not gentle-tempered guys, and after one or two frictions, a small-scale chaotic battle began, like a fuse, and soon, it evolved into a confrontation between the two forces.

The orcs who can destroy the human world will definitely not be worse in terms of combat effectiveness, and when they meet dwarves who are also good at fighting, they can be described as chess opponents, and they will meet good talents, and they have been fighting intermittently for 1 year, and the two sides are still engaged in a tug-of-war on the plains.

It's like a cricket that is placed in a box, only caring about killing its opponent, but it doesn't feel the flood outside the box at all.

Vandal touched his beautiful golden orange beard, he put down the binoculars in his hand, he knew that while he was looking at the other side, the orc cubs must be secretly observing him.

Marshal Thunderspear was not a reckless fellow, in fact, he himself was also scoffing at the war that had lasted for a year, and the Alterac Valley was large enough to allow the two clans to live together, but before there was time to negotiate, the war broke out.

As a soldier, Vandal would never allow himself to lose even a pointless war, so after a few minutes, Vandal put on his helmet, raised his left hand, and behind him, the dwarven warriors, dressed in white cloaks, almost perfectly blended with the snow, as well as the musketeer troops, the mortar troops, all stood up from their concealment.

With 3,000 dwarven warriors standing densely on the south side of the plain, it seems that Marshal Thunderspear is ready to defeat the orc army in this battle.

But just as the dwarven army lined up, a wild and noisy wolf howl rang out in the dense forest, and with a roar, hundreds of sturdy orcs riding on the frost wolf, armed with weapons in their hands, also swooped down from the slopes of the dense forest under the leadership of the Overseer Garfan.

For a moment, the silence of the plain was broken, and the whole snow trembled.

Looking at the orc wolf cavalry who was getting closer and closer, and the orc warriors who were following behind the wolf cavalry, Vandal shrank his eyes, damn it, that cunning old orc had the same idea as him.

"Balinda, let your cavalry strike, crush them!"

Vandal pulled out his heavy battle axe from behind his back and shouted at the female dwarf beside him, and the captain of the stone furnace, Balinda, a rare female warrior, flicked the braids on her head and waist, and the horn hanging from her waist was blown.

"Woooooo

The sound of a low horn resounded throughout the plains, and the elite dwarven goat cavalry placed their long-handled weapons, which could only be wielded on their mounts, diagonally at their sides, ready to counterattack.

"Charge with me!Thunderspear warriors, let those wolf cubs see who is the ruler of this valley!"

Balinda Stonehers, a good cavalry commander, a great warrior, and a grumpy woman who is more hungry for victory than any male dwarf, is the real warmonger on the dwarven side compared to the calm Marshal Vandal.

Before she took the lead... Led by a sheep, hundreds of dwarven goat cavalry rushed towards the orc wolf cavalry with a decapitation knife in their hands, shouting wildly.

The advantage of the wolf cavalry is its flexibility, but the mountain goats that the dwarves have been domesticating since thousands of years ago, and when they are used as mounts, their short-range charges are faster and more fierce than the famous human heavy cavalry!

It's like two sharp arrows galloping, no one wants to retreat, so the tip of the needle collides with Maimang.

The battlefield is a mortal enemy, the brave are fearless, the loser exits, and the winner is king!

The tragic blood and death, when they collided together, were like howling cold winds, spilling over the entire plain.

More than 20 orc wolf cavalry were hit in the air by the bloodshot mountain goats, and before they landed, they had already lost their lives, and the wolf cavalry's net-throwing and killing skills also allowed almost the same number of dwarf cavalry to be pulled down from the high-speed charging goats.

Their corpses and lives fell miserably to the ground, ruthlessly trampled by the enemy and their own people, until they became flowers of blood blooming on the earth, so dazzling, so sad.
