Blackstone Mountain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the name suggests, it is a mountain range that is completely black. The dwarves used to think that this mountain was rich in coal resources, but when the black iron dwarves actually excavated the mountain range and entered it, they found that there were no coal resources in the area, so they abandoned it.

However, the world is unpredictable, and shortly after that, the Battle of the Three Hammers broke out, and the Black Iron Dwarves were beaten by their two brothers, and had to come to this marginal land, where they built their own city, and used it as a base to resist the attacks of the Hammer Dwarves and Copperbeard Dwarves. Immediately after that, the Black Iron Dwarves did a great death, and they summoned Ragnaros, which caused the terrain of the entire area around Blackstone Mountain to change, not to mention, and they themselves became slaves. Although the survival of the race was preserved, it lost the freedom it once had.

Later, after the orc invasion, in order to gain access to attack Danmoro, the orcs from the north captured the upper part of the Black Rock Mountain and transformed it into a fortress of their own. This is the Blackstone Tower that the orcs now use to defend against the Alliance. Because of Ragnaros's tossing, the Black Rock Mountain is steep and has no vegetation to cover it, which is extremely unfavorable to the side that attacks on the back, so that although the alliance is now a big advantage, it does not dare to really go up the mountain so recklessly, so it can only be temporarily stationed at the foot of the Black Rock Mountain, and the orcs are once again in a state of confrontation.

"This time, however, we won't be waiting too long." "First, the logistical pressure to get here from Lordaeron is extremely high, and secondly, the desire for victory among our soldiers is at an all-time high, so that in any case, within this month, the war will be over." ”

"But in this geographical condition, the ...... is attacked"

"I understand what you mean, Tulayan," Anduin nodded as he looked at Tulayan, who had been weathered after three years of fighting, his eyes full of relief, "We will not waste any soldier's life wantonly, therefore, in this decisive battle, we must choose the battlefield." ”

"What do you mean ......"

"Let's look at the map around Blackstone Mountain," Lothar said, "and we can see from here that the whole of Blackstone Mountain is surrounded by harsh and dry land, and what does that prove?" That is, the orcs don't have a chance to stay here for long, and the more people they have, the less they can do that. ”

"That's why we're going to make a big effort to get back to the south?"

"That's right, Tulayan," Lothar said, "the land of the north is cold and cruel, and the territory beneath your feet is withered and barren, and for the orcs now, the longer they wait in the Blackstone Tower, the more their combat power declines. The only way out is to break through here, break through to the territory of the Kingdom of Azeroth in the south, and rely on the fertile land there to continue to fight us. ”

"But why did the leader of the other side choose this place?" Although Tulayan understood the marshal's words, he had his own doubts, "This kind of choice, which clearly leads to death, should not be made by any wise leader." ”

"Yes, Tulayan, but don't forget that Talon Bloodfiend is a death knight, and that's the dead," Lothar said, "The dead don't need food, and they don't get bothered by the cold or heat, so it's inevitable that he'll have to overlook something. Of course, this kind of neglect has also given us an opportunity today...... His Highness Varian! ”

"Yes!"

"Our decisive battle will start within a month, then, in this month, except for the troops that have completed the encirclement, the remaining military strength will be at the disposal of His Highness," Lothar looked at Varian, who had grown into a qualified warrior, and gave his own order, "And what Your Highness wants to do is to go south to the Red Ridge Mountain, use it as a base, and completely sweep away the orcs remaining in the territory of the Kingdom of Azeroth!" ”

At the first moment of hearing the order, Varian froze for a moment, as if to confirm it, his gaze swept over Tulayan, Ferdin, Uther, Mograini. In the eyes of these seniors, Varian saw their appreciation, encouragement, and expectation. At the same time, the nightmare of the past seemed to have come to the door, and the fire that had ignited in the Stormstorm Fortress had almost turned Varian's world in front of his eyes.

"Yes...... Got it! ”

However, this time, the fire did not make Varian tremble, nor did it make him resentful and afraid, because at this time, what he felt in that flame was the hope of the rebirth of the immortal bird, the battle for the restoration of the country that he had hoped for in countless dreams, and when he really started, Varian suddenly found that there was more of a heavy responsibility in his heart than excitement.

"Varian, I will definitely clear the remnants of the enemy for you and force Talon Bloodfiend down the mountain for a decisive battle!"

"So, that's why I came to Alwyn Forest with me?"

Looking at the huge number of people around him, Arthas sighed.

"However, although it is said that it is a force outside the encirclement, in fact, the only force we can use is the original exile army, right? The rest of the scattered forces, just garrisoning Lakeside Town, were already quite cramped. ”

"That's why I'm looking for you, Arthas," Varian sighed, "but it's been a long time since this place was gone, and it's not something you can do by just talking about it." ”

"Actually, it's not impossible to play steadily," Alsace thought for a moment, "it's just that time is tight, so it seems that he lacks strength, right?" ”

"That's right, that's ......"

Receiving Varian's affirmation, Arthas nodded and walked around a few laps. Then, looking in the direction of Stormwind, he suddenly asked, "Varian, you say, how much damage did the orcs really do to the kingdom after destroying this place?" ”

"Well, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"I mean, in addition to destroying the Stormwind Fortress, how much damage did the orcs do to the territory, resources, and population of the Azeroth Kingdom?" Arthas reached out and patted the giant tree next to him, "At least if it were me, I would definitely cut down all the numbers here and use them as resources for the next battle, right?" ”

“…… I see, if that's it......" Varian said, "it's very little. ”

"That's right, it's very small, the reason why the kingdom of Azeroth suddenly collapsed, in the final analysis, was that the center was broken by a blow, so the power of the entire kingdom was scattered into the mountains," Arthas said, "so on the other hand, if we re-establish a center, will these scattered forces be able to re-knead together?" ”

"But ......"

"Indeed, with our forces, even if we gather the remnants of the former Azeroth Kingdom, I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat the orcs who are now roaming everywhere." Arthas bluntly spoke out about Varian's concerns, "But Varian, if you are the leader of the orc tribe, a detachment that has only captured Lakeside and Riverdale and then stands still, or is it the sudden resurrection of Stormwind that makes you feel terrified?" ”

"The latter, of course."

"That's it," Arthas said with a smile, "as long as we raise the banner of New Stormwind, not only can we gather a lot of combat power, but we will also complete the mission of this operation, so why not do such a simple thing?" ”

"Okay, let's do it......"

Varian nodded, began to give orders, and after a while, after arranging all the troops out, Varian turned around, looked at Arthas and stopped, hesitated, and finally made up his mind to ask, "Arthas, do you have any connection with some of the chiefs on the other side of the tribe?" ”

“…… Hey? Why do you ask? ”

"Because the Horde collapsed by such a coincidence," Varian said, "I still know what rank Garissus is, and if he could kill Orgrim single-handedly, the Horde would not be the enemy it is now." The plan you mentioned before was just a strategy to throw stones and ask for directions, and there was no actual timeliness at all, but the tribe's response was so quick that it was almost like it had been arranged......"

"Varian, you say, what makes a good strategy?"

"Huh? I think...... Of course, it is an achievable strategy. ”

"Yes, strategy, in the end, is only a weak force, it requires too many preconditions, and the path to achieve it is too har......sh," Alsace said, "Because of this, chance is often the biggest determining force, and although most of the time it may be bad, but once or twice once in a while it is not necessarily impossible, is it?" ”

"Maybe it's common sense, but not necessarily for Alsace."

“…… Although I am grateful for your faith in me, I am not beyond the ability of ordinary people. ”

"Perhaps, if it weren't for Alterac, I might have thought the same without this time," Varian said, "but now, I don't think so. Alsace, though others don't know it yet, I understand it, you ...... There is a terrible talent, the ability to turn the world upside down, so much so that even if you look like a child now, I feel a shiver in my heart...... Tremors of fear. ”

"Maybe it's just your delusion......"

"I hope it's just a delusion, but it's not an illusion right now," Varian said, "and I'm not stupid enough to be hostile to you because of that." But...... Arthas, if one day, you really become the demon who wants to turn this world upside down. ”

"I will be the first to raise the banner against you, and I will sacrifice everything I have to put an end to your evil deeds."
