Steel Rock, Black Iron Mountain, Castle Hall.

Like the "Stone House" of the "Orgrimmar" before the upgrade, the gray-black castle hall has a total of three floors, but if you count the black animal skin flag fluttering in the wind on the roof, the height of the entire castle reaches twenty meters, like a black sword stuck in the black iron mountain, hanging high above the head of the fortress.

On the first floor of the castle was a large hall, about five meters high, apparently built after the tall and burly stature of the orcs.

In the hundreds of years since its cultivation, no one has been less than two meters tall to qualify as the master of this place, and the green-skinned orc lord sitting in the middle of the hall now is close to the long-standing record, only slightly shorter than the builder here, the legendary green-skinned warlord of the time, "Ironclaw" Gobard.

Like its simple and rugged exterior, the interior of the castle is not decorated with much decoration, except for a huge carpet made of different animal skins, and a roaring stove, which, together with the candles on the rough stone walls, brings enough light to the dimly lit space.

Although the sun is still shining outside, for military reasons, the hall on the first floor is tightly sealed, and there is not even a window, so it looks very dark and must be lit all year round.

In the center of the hall was a large cobblestone table, surrounded by a circle of high-backed armrests made of various messy scrap metals, a total of ten, of which the one facing the door was the largest and most eye-catching.

It is located on two steps thirty centimeters high, from the back of the chair to the armrest, densely composed of the remains and fragments of various weapons, exuding the cold and lingering killing intent peculiar to metal, it is a huge, rough, but absolutely unforgettable "Iron Throne".

This throne, which is made entirely of metal, is said to have existed since the establishment of the "Iron Rock", and there is an unwritten but centuries-old rule about it.

That is, every time after repelling an incoming enemy, the master here will choose a weapon from the battlefield that he has cut off with his own hands, often held in the hands of the dead leader of the opponent, and knock it on this "Iron Throne" to become a new component.

And as the legend of the "Iron Rock" that cannot be broken from the outside spreads, the size and weight of this throne continue to grow.

To this day, even the stone's beast-like figure doesn't feel cramped at all, and by the way, the last person to sit here, Gorya Evil Dare of the "Red Fang Tribe", his battle axe is the latest piece of the puzzle on the back of the chair.

Eligible to sit on the other chairs across the stone are all the bosses who are in the "Iron Rock" at this time, including two minions and four heroes.

They are the retinue "Watchdog" Mogru and the "Villain Instructor" Smu, both of whom are responsible for commanding the permanent defense forces in the fortress and the mobile orc troops, both of whom are rare "outliers" in the green skins who are both calm and a little brainy.

The other four heroes are the Great Shaman of the Horde, the new governor of "Kalimdor", Old Rotten Fang; Patriarch of the "Mickey Clan", Engineer Warlock Pesti Scourge; "Forest Walker", who was only promoted to hero last month, Snagra Poison Saliva; and the savage orcs who have just appeared.

As mentioned before, as of today, there are two more new heroes under the stone this month, bringing the total number to eight.

As the province is upgraded to a province, the number of heroes he can recruit has also reached eight, which seems to have reached the upper limit.

However, the good news is that since the other new hero, Snagra, has been promoted from the retinue and does not occupy the original slot, which means that counting the new brute orcs recruited today, the stone now has a vacant slot.

He is not in a hurry at all, although now these eight heroes are missing except for the opposite half, the remaining half are missing, sleeping and sleeping, and the remaining two are not in the territory, but he has always adhered to one principle, that is, it is better to lack than to excess.

The heroes that have been brushed out in the tavern for so many years, except for the earliest mercenary leader Rep, he can't look down on any of the other white and green heroes, and he really hasn't taken the initiative to recruit them.

After all, with the current strength of the tribe, no matter how blue it is, it has to be a blue level to enter the magic eye, of course, gold or purple or something is even better.

Anyway, the stone is not in a hurry, now that the prestige is enough, it has been dark for so many years, maybe he will brush up on the best hero next year.

As for the manpower of the territory, in addition to the heroes, there are several followers to use, although a little nervous, but not overstretched.

And with Snagra coming out on top and being officially promoted, Stone believes that more followers will cross this threshold in the next few years and become even more powerful beings along with the Horde.

Speaking of which, the taciturn forest goblin on the other side actually took the lead, which was also beyond the stone's own expectations, in fact, he was more optimistic about another retinue who had also reached the purple quality, that is, the speed of the upgrade was fast, and now he had become an official shaman's night goblin, Skarsnik.

Normally, even if the retinue is promoted to purple quality, it is still very difficult to be promoted to a hero, not every retinue that reaches the purple quality can do it, in the words of the game, the two are completely different templates, the former is still an elite monster, and the latter can be regarded as a small boss even if it is just a white ordinary color.

However, there were once lord-type players in the game who did it, provided that they had to complete a rather complex task, and Stone thought that he was the same, but he didn't expect Snagra to be lucky and happened to encounter a ready-made chain of quests.

After the Alagrina Empress Spider "Atrak" evolved into a complete body, the task of "Rebuilding the Kuvenom Tribe" entered the second ring, requiring the territory to have 1,000 Forest Spider Riders, and the reward was that the Forest Goblin Follower was directly upgraded to one level.

Stone felt that there was a drama at the time, and deliberately set all the newly born goblins in the mushroom field during this time as forest goblins, and more than a thousand of them exploded in one go, plus the rewards of the previous ring task, a special building "Giant Spider Valley" was built in the forest outside the "Iron Furnace Castle", and the original third-level building "Dark Cave", the former can recruit a hundred giant spiders per month as mounts for forest goblins, and the latter can train twenty forest goblin riders per month.

In this way, there are people and spiders, and in just eight months, the territory has trained a huge army of forest spider riders.

And the forest goblin Snagra, who usually only works, doesn't speak, and burrows into the forest when he has nothing to do, and has never had a sense of existence, was able to get ahead of Skarsnik and be promoted to hero first.
