Chapter 179: Freemasonry (5/5 for Little Mogagen)
The harbor was bathed in the bright light of the White Lady, and countless civilians and sailors were busy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info they held the torches lit up and sorted the goods in the warehouse group.
Locke saw Shiloh running around, busy. Every cargo that was transported from the ship, she had to open it one by one to check the integrity of the goods inside. After arriving at the warehouse, the warehouse guards there were still checking one by one.
One by one, the unloaded ships on the dock left the dock and sailed out into the ocean to make room for other ships.
Some medium-sized merchant ships began to come to shore, and the sailors on board began to lower the ladder downward. Groups of ragged humans slowly climbed down from the boat, they looked at the busy docks, and the timid expressions on their faces finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the humans around them.
"Where did they come from?" Locke looked at the wanderers who were looking left and right with a happy face, and asked the goblins on the side.
"Elwyn Forest, Wild West, and Red Ridge Mountain." The goblin looked at the civilians and clasped their noses, "We, the goblin organization, while capturing the gnolls druids in those areas, also recruited a large number of civilians who couldn't survive there. ”
"You may not believe it, but those areas are really one word now!" Zax spits, foaming.
"Messy!"
"According to our hunting squad, there are too many masked robbers in those areas who come to rob them. It's ridiculous that you dare to rob us goblins! Zax sneered, "After killing countless unsightly robbers in a row, these people are finally wise. In this way, we can hunt those gnolls with peace of mind. ”
"When we put up announcements in their towns to recruit displaced people, a lot of people didn't want to believe us." The goblins folded their hands helplessly, "This has something to do with our bad reputation as goblins, you know, we have the slave trade..."
"But they eventually gave in to survival, and they gathered with their families and our hunting party in the harbor of Stormwind. If it weren't for the fact that we fought the gnolls in these areas and captured the gnolls druids. The guards of Stormwind may not let me into their city yet. ”
Locke nodded, if he had to, these humans would not leave their own country and leave other kingdoms before they were born.
The Elwyn Forest, the Wild West, and the Red Ridge Mountains are all very uneven right now.
The lives of the human civilians there have become increasingly difficult since King Varian Ureon disappeared on his way to Theramore.
As if the kingdom had deliberately abandoned their regions, their lives became extremely difficult, and most of these sufferings were man-made.
These areas, especially the civilians of the Wild West and the Red Ridge Mountains. The living conditions of the civilians here are extremely dangerous.
The Red Ridge Mountains have a similar climate to the Elwyn Forest. It's warm, humid, rainy, at a higher altitude and closer to the mountains, making it a great place for Stormwind residents to spend their vacations.
Of course, this is all before.
Red Ridge Mountain used to be a mountain range, but everything changed when the Black Iron Dwarves summoned Ragnaros, the Fire Demon King. Half of the mountain melted, and the rows became a burning plain with fires burning everywhere, and the rest of the mountain remained untouched.
The mountains and hills here have become a gateway to warfare, and the Blackstone Orcs lurking in the Blackstone Mountains continue to encroach on the land north of the Red Ridge Mountains through the path connecting the Burning Plains to the Red Ridge Mountains. Due to the deliberate ignorance of Countess Catlana Presto, the ruler of the Stormwind Kingdom, the situation here has deteriorated completely. The Blackstone Orcs soon took over all of the land bordering the Burning Plains in the Red Ridge Mountains.
Countless civilians were forced to flee to Lakeside Town, the only major town in the Red Ridge Mountains. The name Lakeside Town derives from the freshwater lake in the middle of the Red Ridge Mountains, which covers an area of hundreds of kilometers and is the main source of food for the people here.
Civilians live on Lakeside Town, where they make a living from fishing, logging, and a small amount of farmland. Around Lakeside Town, tens of thousands of gnolls live in the jungle. They looted caravans, destroyed farmland cultivated by civilians, and disrupted all productive operations. They even colluded with those blackstone orcs, secretly plotting some tricks, trying to drive away all the humans in the Red Ridge Mountain.
The Wild West, which was once the most important granary of the Stormwind Kingdom, is now inhabited by a group of humans who are not under the control of Stormwind.
Defia Brotherhood.
Their predecessors were craftsmen of the Stonemasons' Guild of the Stormwind Kingdom. When the Kingdom of Stormwind was once again rebuilt on the original ruins, the stonemasons accepted the task of rebuilding Stormwind.
Thanks to the efforts of this group of genius stonemasons, a majestic Stormwind City was built on the ruins of its place. The capital of the Union has shown all the majesty and majesty it deserves.
When the hard-working stonemasons asked Stormwind for wages, they were refused. The enraged stonemasons, led by their genius leader, Edwin Van Cleef, led all the migrant workers to launch an armed uprising, and the ranks were once very strong.
But what they don't know is that all this is planned by the incarnation of the black dragon princess Onexia, Countess Katrana Presto. At her instigation, Van Cleef began to ask for a price, and the nobles of Stormwind were tricked into refusing to pay anything.
After the uprising, Edwin Van Cleef led his men into the Wild West, where he almost completely took over. He contacted almost every pirate in the world, thieves. Together with the old parts of the stonemasons' union, they formed the Defia Brotherhood, which amassed wealth by seizing mines and raiding farms.
Members of his Brotherhood are ubiquitous in the Wild West, and even in the Elwyn Forest, he has managed to infiltrate multiple bandits. These members of the Brotherhood disturbed the lives of the local people, leaving the town of Yuexi in the western wilderness completely deserted. The peasants of the Wild West were overwhelmed and were forced to build a People's Army to fight them when Stormwind was unable to support them.
In order to protect the Elwyn Forest, Stormwind also established the Westspring Fortress, which he prevented from the Brotherhood's invasion. Meanwhile, Edwin Van Cleef is hiding in the Mines of Death, secretly building gunboats in an attempt to build a fleet to destroy Stormwind, which he himself has built.
The disappearance of King Varian also had a lot to do with Edwin Van Cleeff and his brotherhood. The mastermind of this conspiracy, Countess Catlana Presto, is now standing in the Stormwind Fortress.
Locke silently remembered that this Edwin Van Cleef was a talent. His military and intelligence capabilities are very strong.
Can I go to Stormwind? While seeking help, by the way, see if you can take these people away and change their fate. After all, they were just a group of migrant workers in the early stage, and they became irrational in the later stage.
Only, how to convince them to join the crusaders? Once again, do you believe in yourself as a person of aristocratic status?
But!
Locke laughed.
Thinking about it carefully, it turns out that Stormwind City is not comfortable either. Now, except for the Elwyn Forest and under their control, all kinds of situations have arisen in other areas.
Now, Varian has almost been kidnapped by the Black Dragon Princess, split into two people using dark magic. One of them, I'm afraid, will still be a gladiator on the continent of Kalimdor.
The young prince Anduin is standing in the Stormwind Fortress, under the auspices of Duke Bervar Vortagen and the Black Dragon Princess Onexia, who is incarnated as Countess Katrana Presto.
If I'm not mistaken. Almost all the nobles in Stormwind City were affected by the Black Dragon Princess, covering their eyes. The current actual ruler of the Stormwind Kingdom is the Black Dragon Princess.
Do you want to get involved? Take the opportunity to take a ride and save Varian? How about asking Varian to write down his favor and support Lordaeron in the future?
However, the source of all this is in the body of the black dragon princess Onexia. Will the history here be too biased?
If you want to save Varian, you must go to the Black Dragon Princess.
If you are a black dragon princess, you must be fully prepared, otherwise if you point to her nose and say that she is a dragon, who will believe it? What's more, they are not from the Stormwind Kingdom yet, they would believe in a broken nobleman from another country?
Then you must go to the Blackstone Dwarf Prison in Blackstone Mountain, rescue Marshal Reginald Windsol, and use the dragon language tablet in his hand to crack the illusion of the countess incarnated by the Black Dragon Princess.
Then it's a bit of a long way, and you'll need to take a boat to reach Stormwind and then pass through the Elwyn Forest. Pass through the Red Ridge Mountain, pass through the area controlled by the Blackstone Orcs, and finally reach the Blackstone Mountain, which is controlled by the Blackstone Orcs and Blackstone Dwarves.
If you want to recover the Masons Guild and recover Van Rikov, you must resolve the feud with Varian, and this grudge is more difficult to solve.
In the armed uprising led by Van Rikov, Queen Fenty was unfortunately hit on the head by a stone thrown from the crowd and eventually died.
This also plunged Varian into great grief, which led to his transformation from a diligent king to a decadent and obsessed with the affairs of the kingdom. The authority of the kingdom was also given to the Council of Nobles and the Duke of Berval Fortagen, and the Countess Catlana Price.
It was only when the young prince Anduin was just growing up that Varian regained his strength. Just as he was trying to restore order to the kingdom, he received a request from Gianna, Queen of Theramore, for a peace meeting with the tribes. For the sake of peace, Varian accepted the request, and just as he was on his way to Theramore, news was leaked by the Countess that Van Rikov had kidnapped Varian with his Defia Brotherhood.
Subsequently, he was split into two by the Black Dragon Princess, who originally wanted to completely control him and become her puppet. In this way, the entire human world will be overthrown.
Locke couldn't help but pat his head, thinking too far. In short, if you want to do the above things, you must go to the Stormwind Kingdom.
It is also necessary to go as soon as possible, otherwise history develops to a later stage, then everything does not make any sense.
But here, Locke looked at the busy crowd below, and he couldn't help but have a headache.
He is also inseparable from him now.
Iva is developing vigorously, and some directional issues need to be grasped by ourselves. The fish-men in Lake Lordammere to the east need to be dealt with as soon as possible. The Forsaken to the north need to be on guard.
In the mountains of the southern and central regions of the Silver Pine Forest, there is also Thurberchel, the stronghold of the Undead Scourge here, and there are still a large number of undead here.
Further south, the Bloodtooth Werewolves are still wreaking havoc there, which is why he doesn't let his army go south temporarily.
"Alas," Locke lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "Varian, it seems that our two kingdoms are really in the same boat!" ”
