Volume 9: Outbreak Chapter 2: The Situation (Dragonfire Controversy)

The second major event was the "Dragon Fire Battle" that swept the entire Burning Plains with Black Rock Mountain as the center.

Unlike the long-lasting and far-reaching Battle of the Yellow Sands, the battle between the dragons and fires that broke out around Blackstone Mountain was short and intense, and even long after this major event was over, people did not understand why the Black Dragon and the Fire Elemental would fight for control of Blackstone Mountain. However, it is undeniable that this "dragon fire dispute" that lasted only a few days from its outbreak to its end greatly affected the attitudes of the two camps, and many people even believed that this dispute was the fuse of the camp war that broke out soon after.

If you want to trace the origin, then you have to go back to a long time ago, even as early as the time when Yu Bin first met with the past and went to the Psychic Academy for the task of Manas's comb. But for the vast majority of those who don't know anything about it, this "dragon and fire battle" broke out in the month of flowers in the year 342 of the Fourth Age, that is, in mid-February 2029.

Yu Bin deprived the black dragon princess Onexia of her dragon identity through the hands of the black dragon queen Sinestra, and at the same time, the black dragon prince Nefarian, who chose to temporarily retreat because of his injury, also encountered a life, or the biggest crisis in the dragon's life!

At the passage where the Blackwing's Lair connects to the upper reaches of the Blackstone Mountain, Nefarian sees the person he least wants to see - the Black Dragon Queen Synestella!

No one knows what happened between the two, and after the fall of the Black Dragon King Netsario, the two rulers who had ruled the Black Dragon Clan before and after had apparently not reached an acceptable consensus. As a result, Nefarian was wounded and fled, and Sinistra took over the Black Dragon Legion, which had belonged to Nefarian. Only a few of the Black Dragon Prince's henchmen seized the opportunity to escape.

At this point, the returning Black Dragon Queen Nessterra finally unified the Black Dragon Clan again.

If this is the end of the matter, perhaps there will be no so-called dragon fire dispute in the future.

Unfortunately, the proud queen was not willing to stop there. On the one hand, she must show her strength to the races of the Entagri continent and other dragons in order to defend the interests of the Black Dragons. On the other hand, the resentment and resentment of being imprisoned by Rose for many years also made the black dragon queen unwilling to accept the slightest retreat.

And the Fire Elemental Lord Ragnaros is obviously not willing to leave the main plane and return to the fire plane to continue to taste that boring life!

As a result, the battle, which was originally under Nefarian's control and could only be described as a limited conflict, was immediately magnified into a war after Sinestrian took over. The proud queen drove the dragons and black dragons abandoned by Nefarian to launch an all-out assault on Ragnaros' entrenched heart of the Molten Heart.

This is also mixed with a group of black iron dwarves led by the great craftsman Bysius who want to use the power of the Black Dragon Legion to rescue their compatriots.

The situation began to tilt in favor of the Black Dragon Legion. Under the leadership of Sinestella, neither the Fire Elemental Legion nor the servants of Ragnaros could stop this ancient creature with legendary strength.

As a last resort, Exotus, the administrator in charge of managing the Molten Heart for Ragnaros, had to wake up Ragnaros, who was sleeping beneath the Blackstone Mountains, in the hope of reversing the defeat.

As a powerful Fire Elemental Lord, Ragnaros' true strength is almost comparable to that of some weaker gods, but in the main plane, he can't freely mobilize the Fire Elemental here, so his strength has been reduced to the Legendary level. That's why he chose to sleep underneath the Blackstone Mountains, where elemental creatures like Ragnaros consume a huge amount of energy even for their daily actions.

The Black Dragon Queen Nesserath rushed all the way to the lava hall where Ragnaros was located, and the enraged Ragnaros did not hesitate to tear apart the spatial barrier between the main plane and the fire elemental plane, opening a huge spatial rift in the lava hall.

In an instant, a huge amount of fire elemental erupted from the spatial rift, mixed with countless large and small fire element creatures.

The battle between the Black Dragon Legion and the Fire Elemental Legion has broken out!

The Fire Elemental Legion led by Ragnaros has a steady stream of replenishment from the Fire Elemental Plane, while the Black Dragon Legion wields the power of the earth, and the Black Stone Mountain is their best source of strength. Two terrifyingly powerful forces collided in the belly of Mount Blackstone, bringing the extinct volcano, which had not erupted for thousands of years, back into activity.

The battle lasted two days. Compared to Nesstra, who could continuously draw power from the Blackstone Mountains and even the Red Ridge Mountains, Ragnaros, who could only rely on the fire elemental plane to provide energy, began to fall into the disadvantage, not to mention that the spatial barrier of the main plane was squeezing the spatial rift every moment, which was the repair ability generated by the space in order to maintain its own integrity.

Seeing that the spatial rift was getting narrower and narrower, Ragnaros finally realized that it was unlikely that he would be able to defeat Sinestra, so he chose one last resort - to detonate the entire Molten Heart!

One of the largest volcanic eruptions since the Second Age has appeared!

The erupted volcanic ash even obscured the entire burning plain, and the raining lava completely destroyed the entire burning plain's environment, and earthquakes occurred frequently, and the earth was torn apart and burning mountains everywhere. The rolling magma has destroyed an area of hundreds of kilometers centered on Blackstone Mountain, turning it into a forbidden area for life!

In the face of this terrible natural disaster, the Black Iron Dwarves had to abandon the city of Thoresen that they had built with their own hands, and fled from the Black Rock Mountain. Since the Black Iron Dwarves, who were the nobles of the former Thorrison City, basically lived closest to the heart of the molten fire, they became sacrifices to be devoured by the magma as soon as the disaster came.

Eventually, the Black Iron Dwarves, led by the great craftsman Bysius, escaped the Burning Plains, and after wandering for more than two months, they had to seek refuge in the Iron Forge, but by this time the number of the Black Iron Dwarves had dropped to less than half a million, only one-tenth of what it had been at its peak.

The erupting Black Rock Mountain also caused great damage to the Black Dragon Legion, and Nesstera had to give up the goal of destroying Ragnaros, and left the Burning Plains with the surviving Black Dragons and returned to the underground world, as for the so-called dragonmen, they were abandoned in the sea of fire by Nessistra without hesitation.

In addition, there is another unlucky egg in this war, that is, the first and only Void Dragon catalyzed by Yu Bin!

After Nefarian fled, Sinistra soon discovered the Void Dragon, and in the face of the Black Dragon Queen's strong strength, the Void Dragon, who had only been born less than two hours after breaking the shell, had no power to resist, and had to obey Sinestra's orders, as the vanguard of the Black Dragon Legion, launched an attack on the Fire Elemental Legion.

Relying on its ability to devour all energy, powerful fire elemental creatures, including Rusifron and others, were unable to stop this terrifying creature at all, which was one of the main reasons why the Black Dragon Legion was able to advance quickly. And after devouring a large amount of fire elements, the Void Dragon also grew rapidly, even reaching the level of legend.

Unfortunately, due to congenital reasons, this Void Dragon's intelligence was not yet fully developed, and during the fierce battle between Synistra and Ragnaros, this poor Void Dragon was used as a shield by Synestella more than once. Even when Ragnaros detonated the Molten Heart, he became a substitute for the Black Dragons to take most of the damage.

Eventually, Sinestra retreated to the Underworld with the Black Dragon Legion, and the Void Dragon died from the explosion of the Molten Heart, and its body was transformed into a powerful elemental dragon by Ragnaros before falling back into a slumber, to be used to guard his sleeping place in the place of his dead minions.

At this point, this battle of dragon fire has come to an end!

Compared to the Battle of Yellow Sand, the casualties caused by this battle of dragon fire were not small at all, and most of them were concentrated on high-level individuals. Tens of thousands of dragons aside, the black dragon alone killed more than a hundred, including three of the legendary-level black dragons. Not to mention the Fire Element Legion, the Molten Heart has a total of four legends and eleven heroes except for Ragnaros, only the manager Xotus survived, and the others basically returned to the fire element plane and became the most basic fire element core, I don't know how many thousand years it will take to resurrect.

And in the face of the battle between the two ancient creatures, Synestra and Ragnaros, those high gods did not dare to set foot in it, and they were not even willing to watch it, for fear that one would accidentally put themselves in it.

This battle of dragon fire has also had a very big impact on the two camps.

The first to bear the brunt are the orcs and dwarves, in order to seize the Black Rock Mountain, the former has long sent troops led by the Fire Blade Clan deep into the Burning Plains, and even fought a small-scale war with the Black Iron Dwarves on the Burning Plains, but with the eruption of the Black Rock Mountain volcano, the orcs had to give up this idea, and even after the Great Chief Sal personally surveyed the environment of the Burning Plains with a vote of shamans, he thought that for at least fifty years, no one would be able to survive in the core area of the Burning Plains, and since then, The orcs had to abandon the idea of plotting the Red Ridge Mountains and instead set their sights on the Thousand Needles Stone Forest in the south, which further exacerbated the friction between the orcs and elves.

On the other hand, after the response force was mortally attacked by the Devouring Serpent, the dwarves of Ironforge believed that this was a conspiracy by the orcs to swallow the Burning Plains, and for this reason, King Magni Copperbeard began to recruit new soldiers to prepare for a war with the orcs in the Burning Plains to thwart the ambitions of the orcs. But before the army could be prepared, the dwarves were completely stunned by the burning plains that had been turned into a sea of fire due to the volcanic eruption!

For the dwarves, the Burning Plains is not only an important source of resources, but also a necessary way for Ironforge to trade with the outside world, which is one of the reasons why the dwarves are reluctant to let the orcs get their hands on the area. Now, the Burning Plains, which have been reduced to Jedi, are not able to pass through any caravans, and the underloaded goblin airships alone cannot meet the dwarves' massive demand for supplies.

This forced the dwarves to find new trade routes, and eventually Ironforge set its sights on the other end of the Red Ridge Mountains, known as the Manny Wilderness. This is the birthplace of the barbarians, and it is also the sphere of influence of the neutral race werewolves, and the appearance of the dwarves has created a strong sense of crisis among the werewolves living in the Manny Wasteland, and for other reasons, the original neutral werewolves have finally fallen to the chaos camp.

And for the elves, it couldn't be worse.

The orcs continue to expand in the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, oppressing the elves' sphere of influence. In order to resist the invasion of the dwarves, the werewolves in the Manny Wasteland are constantly approaching the chaotic camp, and threaten the adjacent Hyjal Holy Mountain, which is even more intolerable to the elves. In addition, after suffering heavy losses and declining strength in the Battle of Yellow Sands, for the sake of their own safety, the elves began to make more and more war remarks within the orderly camp, and even pushed the Wingmen and other races to speed up war preparations, transforming from the previous neutral faction to the war faction, which promoted the outbreak of the camp war to a certain extent.

In addition to this, there is another race affected by the Dragonfire War, and that is the dungeon!

Although many black dragons were lost in the Black Rock Mountain, the number of black dragon legions controlled by Sinistra not only did not shrink, but expanded several times, after all, before this, because of the captivity of Rose, most of the black dragons were taken away by Nefarian.

Synestella, who reunited the Black Dragons, not only announced her strong return to the whole world through this battle, but also formed a powerful deterrent to the entire underground world, and those underground world cities that were originally separated from the dark elves have offered their loyalty and submission to the guardian of the underground world, and more and more underground races began to unite under the command of Synestella, ready to recreate their own glorious era.

In addition, although Rose has fallen, Synestella is still deeply angry at the elf who betrayed her. As a result, the Black Dragon Queen began to take revenge on the elves, or at least express some degree of hostility. This also led the elves to miscalculate that the underworld under the leadership of Sinistra would attack them at any moment.

In the months following the end of the War of Dragons, the elves frequently began to negotiate with their allies in the Order faction. It was also from this time that the orderly camp was already preparing for a new faction war.

The world of Entagri thus began to enter a four-year war.
