In the evening of the wetland plain, a cool breeze blows the earth, and also blows the face of every expeditionary soldier, and the mood of going home lingers in the hearts of every copperbearded dwarf, looking at the endless towering mountains on the horizon, everyone's heart is full of infinite longing and reverie.

Azeroth is such a troubled world, whether it is Ironforge, Stormwind, or Lordaeron, there are always fewer days of peace than years of war. These soldiers of Ironforge have spent most of their time outside since joining the army, and although Ares has never been to Stormwind, it is estimated that in such a turbulent era, the soldiers of Stormwind are also ......

In the melodious sound of the flute, the sunset slowly set from the distant mountains, and the entire canopy was dyed a beautiful orange red, and the endless thoughts seemed to be transmitted to the distance with the setting of the sunset. Ares couldn't help but think of the Eagle's Nest, of the Chapel of the Light's Wishes, and of the Scarlet Monastery...... The past years are just over a year away, but they are as far away as a lifetime.

Along the way, with Arrin leading the way, many dwarves along the way expressed great friendship to Ares and Gianna and their party, and at the same time, because of various deeds, this friendship also carried a trace of respect. The Ash Bringer was reborn at the hands of the young paladin, and no one knew why, but only through what they heard along the way, they learned that so many incredible things had happened in the northern continent of Lordaeron in the past year.

"See? Brother, the megalithic dam you've always wanted to see, is just ahead. Between those two towering peaks. ”

A few weeks later, Ares and Gianna arrived at one of Azeroth's most famous attractions, the Boulder Dam.

The dam is located east of Dan Ogaz, on the north shore of Lok Modan, and a megalithic dam across the mountain range intercepts the water of Lok Lake, which acts as a reservoir and flood water in the summer, ensuring that the northern wetland plains do not turn into a sea of floods in the summer. It is such a dam that allows the wetland plains to be navigable, the stone roads no longer have to worry about flooding in the summer, and in some places, a small number of crops can be planted to feed the local villagers. Of course, it's not big enough to support a large army, or a decent town.

Looking in the direction Jarrin was pointing, Ares could faintly see the outline of the dam, and the closer he got, the more excited he became. The grand scene that I dreamed of seeing 10,000 times in my previous life, at this moment, I finally have the opportunity to really see his face. The dam was destroyed by Deathwing during the Cataclysm, but now, Ares still has a chance to see it in its entirety.

Finally, as they approached, Ares and Gianna heard the sound of water at the same time.

It is a large waterfall formed by the cascading water that flows down from the upper part of the dam. When Ares got closer, the entire megalithic dam was revealed. There is nothing to describe what he saw, its scale, its magnificence, and it shocked Ares speechless for a long time.

If seeing the Sadol Bridge was enough to shock Ares, then the boulder dam in front of him made Ares return here a thousand times even in his dreams.

It looked like it was made of a single boulder, stretching from one end of the mountain to the other side of the mountain rim. There is no end in sight, only the vague outline of the end of the dam. The height is also staggering, standing on the edge of a cliff, Ares feels like an ant standing in front of it under a towering tree. Just like in "The Lord of the Rings", when the Ring of the Ring team arrived at Argonnas, the Gate of Gondor, two giant statues stood on both sides of the canyon, and the momentum was shocking. And the boulder dam at this moment, it feels like that. The lake is rushing down, and the huge sound of water is like the battlefield of the Great War of the Century, no matter what you shout here, you can't hear it, even if you stand face to face, you can only hear the other person's lips trembling.

The statues of the three dwarven kings in the center of the dam are the outlets. It symbolizes the friendship between the bronze whiskers, the black iron, and the brute hammer dwarves, the friendship that once existed......

Like the Sador Bridge, Ares couldn't imagine how such a huge project could have been built. What he saw and heard along the way had ruined Ares's three views. But the Dwarves are a race of architects of the people, originally Earth Spirits made by Titans, born to work with stone and mud, and this talent and sensitivity have made them the greatest engineers in Azeroth.

The next place to go is Ironforge Castle or even a city built in a high mountain, and it is conceivable that the dwarves may have hollowed out the entire mountain to accommodate such a large population......

Ares was almost dragged away by the Arrins, the dwarves who had lived in the land for hundreds of years, and who were so accustomed to the landscape that they could not bear the fact that their companions, their companions, stopped here for three hours. As if he hadn't seen a dam before.

Of course, what Ares sighed about was not only the grandeur of the boulder dam, but also the future cataclysm, Deathwing, what kind of power it was, smashing such a dam was as simple as toppling a pile of bricks. There are too many things to imagine.

"Brother, we must hurry up, there is Lockmodan ahead, and after this area, we can pass through the South Gate Trail and the underground tunnel, and we will reach Danmoro, and we will be home. When you get to Ironforge, there are still many buildings waiting for you to admire, there will be a lot of information gathered there, I will have new missions, you will have new friends, Ironforge Castle is much more spectacular than this. ”

Arrin said, pulling Ares aside and continuing along the Wetland Boulevard. The boulder dam faded away behind him, and only the sight and the sound of the rushing water remained in Ares' mind. I can't calm down for a long time.

"Ironforge, how long will it take for us to arrive."

Ares asked, turning his head. The sun falls on the face, making it appear peaceful and serene. Everything is like this here, unlike in the north, where the plague is raging in Lordaeron, where there is a smell of rancid and decadent everywhere, and even the sky is shrouded in an indissolvable orange haze, and in the south of the wetlands, the sun is so bright and warm.

The villages along the route are inhabited by dwarves, who, like humans, grow vegetables and grain on the surface, and during the harvest season, carry a large pile of wheat into a goat trailer and transport it to Ironforge. Here, it is full of the breath of life, the smell of the countryside.

"It's coming, three weeks at most. If it's fast, it can be reached in two weeks. ”

Arrin said, a happy expression on his face.
