Departing from the port of Antonidas in the westernmost part of the wetlands, the orc boatmen rowed their boats up the river towards the Boulder Dam.

Brian Copperbeard sat lazily on the deck, looking at the land on both sides of the canal, the busy orcs, dwarves, and humans, and the strange machines......

"The territory of Carlin is quite prosperous!" I heard the dwarf muttering to himself.

Griffidine the griffon and Glebe the orangutan, equally lazily lying on the deck basking in the sun; Right behind Brian.

"Your Excellency, it's here!" The orc boatman stopped the dinghy on the shore and, in a lingua franca that was not very proficient, said to Brian.

"Oh, okay, thank you!" Brian picked up the shotgun he had thrown on the other side of the deck, then expertly kicked Glefidin and Glebe next to him, respectively, and jumped off the deck.

"Grimbaatar?" Looking at the high mountain in the distance, the copper-bearded dwarf frowned, and patted the head of the orangutan next to him at the same time: "Grib, is it possible that you can smell the foul smell of the brute-hammer dwarf from such a distance!" ”

"Who do you say has a foul smell on you?" An unhappy voice came from the sky.

Then a strong griffin descended from the sky and landed in front of Brian.

Kudran Brute straightened his chest, revealing the gleaming golden medallions on his chest, and then jumped off Scarley the Griffon.

"Why do you want to come to our Hammer City?" Kudran said proudly, "You troublesome brass. ”

"Oh, isn't this Kudran pecked in the ass by a griffon!" Brian showed no mercy and sneered: "I'm here to find my friend Carlin, what's the matter with you!" ”

As he spoke, Brian half-concealed and removed the silver badge from his chest.

Both gold and silver medals were awarded by the Alliance to reward the warriors who made significant contributions to the Second Orc War.

As a key figure in many wars and the absolute leader of the Alliance's Air Force, Kudran Bronze Beard was naturally awarded only eight first-class Alliance Hero Medals by the entire Alliance; Although Brian followed his brother Muradin and followed Lord Lothar in the Battle of the Hillsbrad Hills, he only received a second-class League Hero Medal.

Looking at this little movement of the copperbearded dwarf opposite, Kudran just snorted coldly, and at the same time his chest straightened up.

"That's natural, I'm just worried about you troublemaker, what if something goes wrong again?" Kudran said haughtily, "So I must keep an eye on you at all times!" ”

"Whatever you want!" Brian glanced at the stupid Hammer Dwarf, ignored him, and walked straight in the direction of the floating city in the sky.

Kudran was close behind Brian, keeping a ten-yard distance between the two, ignoring the other.

However, compared to the two angry owners, Griffitin and Scarley were very enthusiastic about sticking together...... It's like an old friend I haven't seen in a long time.

……

"Lord Carlin, Lord Kudran has arrived below the Floating City with a bronze-bearded dwarf!" A hired mage gently knocked on the door of Carlin's lab and reminded.

"Okay, I'll go down right away!"

Five minutes later......

"Kudran, and Brian!" Teleporting from Naxxramas, Karin looked at the two dwarves in front of him, who were not quite right.

With the arrival of Brian Copperbeard, Carlin was mentally prepared; After all, the other party wrote him a letter a few days ago, saying that there was something important to visit...... As for Kudran, Carlin didn't know why he was here......

"Uh...... Hello, Carlin! Brian paused, then took a letter from his pocket: "I have brought a letter from my brother here. ”

Brian's brother is naturally referring to Magni Copperbeard, the king of Ironforge.

"Humph!" Kudran rushed to Brian, snatched the letter from his hand, and handed it to Carlin behind him.

At the same time, he reminded in a low voice: "Karin, you have a few more eyes, the boss of the Copperbeard family, but he is quite cunning......"

Watching Kudran act rudely, Carlin smiled helplessly, and then opened King Magni's letter.

After a few minutes, he put down the letter in his hand: "King Magni has given me a great gift!" ”

"What's that?" Kudran on the side was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously.

In the letter, Magni was willing to hand over all the strongholds and ownership of the wetlands to Carlin in the name of Ironforge......

There is no doubt that this is a great gift, considering that the Copperbeard Dwarves have at least twenty towns and towns in the wetlands, and the largest of them, Dan Ogaz, is no less populous than Port Antonidas......

Although due to geographical factors, the strongholds of these wetlands are not closely related to the core ruling areas of the Copperbeard Dwarves, Ironforge and Lokmodan...... But it's also a large piece of territory under the command of the Copperbeard Dwarves.

There is no doubt that these dwarven strongholds are a big obstacle to the development of the Kalin territory...... However, now the other party actually chooses to give up this land?

But when you think about it, Carlin is slightly understandable...... On the one hand, it may be that King Magni saw that Stormwind and Riptide Castle had benefited greatly from his dividends, so he wanted to get a little bit of the pie in this way.

On the other hand, he must have other requirements as well.

"That stingy McGni, why is he so generous!" Kudran muttered.

Brian sighed and continued, "Actually...... We have another request......"

"In the deserted north, in the south, we found a rather majestic ruin; And it looks like it's probably the Titans...... According to our preliminary detection, there are a large number of earth spirits in it, which is very likely related to the origin of our dwarves! Brian said solemnly.

"Then why did you find us?" Kudran touched his head curiously: "The distance between the Wastelands and Ironforge is not too far?" ”

The Copperbeard Dwarves are known to love adventure...... They even set up an organization called the "Explorers Association" for this purpose...... But there is no need to pay such a big price for the sake of exploration.

"Let's be honest!" Brian calmly explained, "This is also my brother's instructions...... Because the black iron dwarves are also eyeing that ruin. ”

Kudran's face changed suddenly, and he lowered his head and whispered to Carlin:

Carlin ...... Decide carefully. ”
