Volume 7: The Chamber of Secret of Blackstone Mountain (Remastered) Chapter 63: The Chamber of Secrets of Blackstone Mountain (5)
Meanwhile, Grand Overseer Dakisas is throwing a tantrum at his men, and the sudden deaths of Luzel, Sidhu, and Cavras leave him in control of the situation for a while, as there has never been a situation like the death of three Overseers at the same time.
And what made him even more anxious was that Orgrimmar, who had been trying to put his hand into the Black Rock Mountain, also happened to be pinching the trouble that came to him at this time. An elite reconnaissance team of the Black Iron Dwarves saw a large number of orc troops gathering in the border area of the Burning Plains, and the number was estimated to be no less than five thousand, which gave Dakisas a headache, and he was very worried about whether the Great Chief of Orgrimmar suddenly wanted to use force to open the passage of the Burning Plains.
"Idiot! Rubbish! Idiot!!! If it weren't for the fact that the residue in this furnace of Cafiras was dead, I swear, I would have smashed his skull open with my own hands and used his brains as an accelerant! Dakisas's dark face turned red as a fierce fire with rage, and he cursed Cafilas as he swung the hammer in his hand and cursed Cafilas for not accomplishing enough and more defeating.
The Black Iron Dwarven officer kneeling tremblingly under the throne did not even dare to raise his head to look at Dakisas, since escaping from the enslavement of the Fire Elemental Lord with a part of his people, the Grand Overseer had become very irritable and angry, often outbursting and hurting people at the slightest disagreement, and the dwarven officer who was sent to report because he was unlucky did not want to be the next victim of the warhammer.
This Warhammer is called Wrath of the Black Rock, and it is a very nice orange epic weapon for warrior players who are good at wielding the hammer, especially those who are dwarven warriors. In the previous life, for the sake of this war hammer, I don't know how many players were willingly ravaged by Dakisas over and over again.
Interestingly, it was the master of the Great Craftsman Beatus who forged the hammer, and Beatus, who had not yet taken over the title of Master Craftsman, also participated in the casting as an assistant, and after successfully casting the Wrath of the Black Rock, all the Black Iron Dwarven craftsmen regarded it as the highest achievement of the Black Iron Dwarves, second only to the King's fearless courage.
Now, Dakisas, who wields the wrath of Black Rock, has become a betrayer of the Black Iron Dwarves, trying to usurp power. The Blackstone craftsmen who participated in the forging of the weapon became prisoners. This has to be said to be a big irony.
"Terrible news! Lord Overseer, if you don't mind, my Mafia Clan can offer you some help! An orc wearing a black leather armor and dark green skin stood not far away with his hands on his chest and said to Dakisas, "As allies, the Black Hand Clan will not abandon our dwarven friends at such times!" ”
Dakisas turned his head to Red Black Hand, for the patriarch of this Black Hand clan, Dakisas has not completely trusted him, don't think that dwarves are bold and scheming characters, maybe the vast majority of ordinary dwarves are like this, but to be able to become the Grand Overseer, Dakisas is not because of his boldness to sit in this position, this dwarf like a barrel is even more cunning than many goblins.
"Thank you for your kindness, Chief Red. But I don't need to bother you with these little things, I'll take care of them! Dakisas coldly rejected Red's offer.
Red Blackhand waved his hand and sat down in a chair next to him to rest.
Dakisas slammed his hammer to the ground and yelled at the dwarven officer, "Get back! Let Gamore take over as Overseer at once! I'm going to hear him report in less than three hours, tell him, gather the army, we're going to beat those green-skinned beasts back who dare to stretch out their claws!" ”
Seeing the dwarven officer run out with his hands and feet, the corners of Red Black's mouth twitched unnaturally. Green-skinned beasts? If it weren't for the fact that the Black Hand Clan wanted to use the power of Dakisas and the Black Dragon Prince behind him to achieve their own goals, Red Black Hand would have been unable to resist rushing forward and stabbing this black dwarf!
"Don't you need to ask His Royal Highness the Prince to send some reinforcements? Orgrimmar's guys aren't easy to deal with! Convincing himself to ignore Dakisas's fingers, Red Blackhand said that although he was upset with Dakisas, he did not want the Black Iron Dwarves to suffer a large loss, which would hinder his revenge plans.
"There's no need to bother His Royal Highness with such a trivial matter!" Of course, Dakis knew how difficult it would be to defeat the orcs who had invaded this time on his own, but he was absolutely unwilling to seek the assistance of the Black Dragon Prince Nefarian, because that would make Nefarian think that he was not capable of the Overseer at all, and if the Black Dragon Prince felt that Dakis could not play a sufficient role, he would probably deprive him of his power and let someone else take on the position of Grand Overseer.
To put it bluntly, for Nefarian, the prince of the black dragon, Dakisas and these black iron dwarves he controls are not powerful combat power at all, and the black iron dwarves with an average strength of only the fourth order are not the opponents of dragonmen who start at least the sixth order, let alone the black dragons who are often heroic-level strength, even if Dakisas himself, I am afraid that in the eyes of Nefarian, they are not as good as an adult black dragon. You must know that as a lineage of the ancient dragon clan, as long as the black dragon is an adult, it at least has heroic-level strength.
So, for Nefarian, Dakisas and his Black Iron Dwarves were of no use at all, except as slaves to provide weapons and armor for his Black Dragon Legion. In the face of those fire elementals who obeyed the orders of Ragnaros, the Black Iron Dwarves who were only of the fourth order were not even cannon fodder.
"Alright! You're the Grand Overseer, you're in charge! Red Black Hand said.
However, although he was unwilling to show his incompetence in front of Nefarian, Dakisas was not a fool and could not watch the power in his hands be consumed like this.
"Chief Red! I will lead the army of the Black Iron Dwarves to repel the invaders from Orgrimmar, but the Black Hand Clan, as allies, must also show good faith! Dakisas said.
"Please!"
"The death of that fool of Cafilas is no accident, and the strength of the murderer who was able to kill my three Overseers quietly is probably not something my soldiers can compete with! I hope the Black Hand Clan will help me find these sneaky rats! Dakisas gritted his teeth and said, although the three of Cafilas are not the strongest, they have always been his diehards, it is because of the three of them that Dakisas can firmly control those black iron dwarves, and now, he has to promote those who are not familiar with him to serve as overseers, which will undoubtedly weaken his control.
Red Blackhand grinned and said, "Of course, please leave this matter to me!" Although the Black Hand Clan no longer rules Orgrimmar, it is not something that anyone can underestimate. ”
On the other side, Raphael took Tiramisu to meet with Duchess Rowling, and the married princess of the Arnas Empire warmly received Raphael and them, and promised to introduce them to her husband, Duke Roseda, who was in charge of the Oberline Kingdom.
"Greetings, Your Excellency! May the light always be with you! Raphael, dressed in a formal set of Bishop robes of the Holy See of Light, bowed to the Duke of Rosselda, who was over half a hundred years old.
"May the light walk with you, Your Excellency Bishop Raphael!" The Duke of Rosetta once followed King Oberline to participate in Raphael's inauguration, and he is no stranger to this darling of the Holy See of Light, coupled with the previous expedition to the Silver Pine Forest and the Sky City, the Duke of Oberlein's real power has a very good impression of Raphael, which is one of the reasons why he is willing to meet Raphael so soon, "I don't know what His Excellency the Bishop is here for?" Could it be that there is some teaching from His Majesty the Pope? ”
Although Tiramisu's original purpose was to use the power of the high-level of the Oberline Kingdom to solve the problem of the confrontation between Spirit Sword Villa and the Angel Covenant, this kind of thing is not worth bothering a duke to take action personally, otherwise, it would be too indifferent to the other party, that is a powerful duke of the kingdom, and he is not a thug raised by the Angel Covenant, how can he make a move for this trivial matter.
"Your Excellency, I am here this time for the sake of the warriors of the O'Brien Kingdom who died in the Sky City, because of my lack of ability, the warriors of your kingdom cannot return to their hometown, and even their bones cannot return to their hometown, I have always been deeply disturbed by this! Although His Excellency the Cardinal has expressed his condolences and apologies to the kingdoms on behalf of the Holy See, I feel that I should come in person and ask for the Kingdom's forgiveness! Raphael said as he bent down again.
The Duke of Rosenda hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Raphael's salute: "Your Excellency Bishop Raphael, you are serious!" ”
Others don't know, how could Duke Rosetda, who is the Minister of State of the Oberline Kingdom, not know, after all, all the soldiers who participated in the expedition to the Sky City in the kingdom before were personally selected by him, and the inside story, except for the King Oberline, the Duke of Rosetda is one of the few people who knows clearly.
Although the failure of the expedition to the Sky City took a heavy toll on the kingdom, most of these losses were confined to the army. Although the predicament facing the kingdom of Oberline today is partly related to the failure of the expedition, strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as the main culprit.
And as an orthodox knight, how could the Duke of Rosetta throw the responsibility for defeat on Raphael, you can imagine how embarrassed the Duke was for Raphael's intentions.
Fortunately, Rosenda has also been through ups and downs for a long time after all, and he will not be at a loss because of this matter. After a few words of reassurance, he beckoned Raphael and the others to sit down.
"In addition to expressing my apologies to you, I am here for a small personal matter." With the previous rhetoric, Raphael's special visit to the Duke of Roseda was not too casual.
"Please! As long as I can do it! ”
"As you can see, in addition to being the Bishop of the Holy See of Light, I am also the Lord of the Province of Venerberryon." Raphael said, "On behalf of the people of the province of Venabrion, I would like to express my great gratitude to your kingdom for the great convenience and assistance provided by the Kingdom of Oberline in recent times. ”
"This is what we should do! You and the Angelic Covenant you led reclaimed that land and drove those damned demons out of there, and we just did something insignificant compared to that. ”
"It's not worth mentioning for the kingdom, but it's a great favor for us." Raphael said, "This visit to you is also to further strengthen the cooperation with the kingdom!" ”
The Duke of Rosenda seemed to be interested, leaning forward slightly: "Do you want to increase the number of immigrants?" Or do you want the kingdom to increase its share of ore purchases from the province of Venaperyon? ”
"Actually, we want to have some offices in several major cities in the Oberline Kingdom to take care of immigration and commerce." Raphael did not directly say that he wanted the Oberline Kingdom to suppress the Spirit Sword Villa, after all, it was a guild belonging to the Oberline Kingdom, just as it was impossible for parents to deliberately punish their own children in order to favor other people's children, and it was impossible for the Oberline Kingdom, as the suzerain, to deliberately suppress the Spirit Sword Villa for the sake of Raphael's Angel Covenant, in that case, which guild would be willing to join the Oberline Kingdom.
Therefore, Raphael cleverly chose another way, since it is difficult for the Oberline Kingdom to suppress the Spirit Sword Villa, then if you change your mind and let the Angel Covenant also have the same identity as the Spirit Sword Villa, it will be much easier to solve the problem.
Once the Oberline Kingdom agrees to the Angel Covenant to set up some representative institutions in the kingdom, then Spirit Sword Villa will have to weigh the possibility of its own property being destroyed.
Although even if this is done, it is impossible to completely eliminate the destruction of the property under the name of the Angel Covenant in the Spirit Sword Villa, but at least with a little counterattack ability, it can be regarded as giving Tiramisu an explanation to them, what to do next, there is no need for Raphael to worry about it, in order to protect the gold coins in their pockets, presumably those guild leaders are very willing to rack their brains to solve this problem.
Duke Rosenda thought about it for a moment and finally nodded: "No problem!" You can set up offices in no more than five large cities to recruit immigrants and expand commerce, and I will inform the lords of your cities to open up the purchase of land and buildings. ”
"Thank you so much for your help!"
"Don't rush to thank me!" Duke Rosenda raised his hand and said, "While agreeing to your request, I also hope that your Angelic Covenant can do me a favor." ”
"I wonder if Your Excellency has anything you need us to do?"
"My good friend, Marshal Wendsol of the Arnas Empire, went to the Burning Plains a few days ago to investigate, and not long ago I completely lost the news, I sent people, but I still didn't find any trace of Marshal Wendsol." Duke Rosenda said worriedly, "I am worried about the safety of the marshal, it is said that the black iron dwarves living on the burning plains are very savage and unreasonable, and some people have even seen the figure of the black dragon. Of course, I don't want to ask for the help of the Holy See of Light with this undetermined concern, but I just hope that Bishop Raphael will send someone to search for it within his ability. ”
Raphael was stunned for a moment, but immediately recovered: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Duke, I will send someone to the Burning Plains as soon as possible to find the whereabouts of Marshal Wendsol." ”
"As soon as possible, please! I have a bad premonition! Duke Rosenda looked uneasy.
