Chapter 19: The Blackstone Tower Controversy (I)

"It can't be! This must be the power of magic! ”

The dwarven technicians were amazed by the brilliance of the rifled guns, and they all stood in front of the target, examining the incredible scene, and Brooke even attributed the phenomenon to the power of magic, in his opinion, the dwarven muskets almost accompanied the growth of their ancestors, protecting the dwarven race from wild beasts and other races on the surface, and were the result of the wisdom of the dwarves. And now, it is incredible that Ares has raised the power of this weapon to another level with a simple modification.

"No, it's not the power of magic, it's the power of science."

Standing next to Brooke, Ares replied with a smile. Of course, the science that Ares is talking about is not the same thing as the science of the dwarves' knowledge, it is something from another world, but the dwarves don't know it......

They stood beside Ares and developed a gesture of admiration for the human knight.

"I don't believe it, let's do it again."

The power of the rifled gun blinded the dwarves, and Brooke was clearly unwilling to believe what was in front of him.

"It's the same again. It makes no sense, friend, you lose. Don't forget your promises. ”

Ares said, smiling and staring at Brooke, the master dwarven weaponsmith who had now become his own personal blacksmith.

"Forget it, Brooke, you better keep your word, we of the Copperbeard Clan, talk counts."

Magni stepped down from his throne and swept Ares's face and stared at his own people, Brooke. His words were majestic, and all the Brastacle Dwarves knew that whatever McGoney said, they were to obey. What's more, in this case, the Copperbeard Tribe has already lost once, and it must not lose a second time in terms of character.

"My opinion, we can popularize this technology, so that the soldiers of Ironforge Fort can use this weapon."

Ares said as he stared at Magni, his own advice was one thing, and whether the Dwarven King should adopt it or not was another. After all, this is not Lordaeron, not the territory of the Silver and White Crusaders, and it is not your own opinion.

"Yes, but now that time is pressing, we don't have time to wait any longer. Only part of the soldiers can be equipped, and large-scale equipment will definitely not work. It will take long enough to uniformly transform weapons, and, apparently, we do not have this time. ”

Magni stared at Ares and replied in a full, deep voice.

Ares knew what the King of the Dwarves was referring to, and the time to storm the Black Iron Fortress was running out to equip them on a large scale.

Three days later, this well-disciplined, brightly armored bronze-bearded army set off from the main gate of Ironforge Fort. Contrary to Ares's imagination, Magni does not seem to mean a sneak attack, but a frontal attack...... Attacking the dwarven fortress head-on is probably something that only the dwarves themselves can do.

Of all the defenses of Azeroth, Ares obeyed no one and served the dwarven fortifications. It was almost a city carved out of the mountain rocks, and the entire fortress city was wrapped under boulders, and who could shake such a defensive system.

Dark Furnace City, the central city of the Black Iron Dwarves, the base camp. Why didn't you choose this tactic of sneak attack, Ares just heard that the team sent by Magni had tried several times and failed, and every team sent out was buried in that underground city, and no one came out alive, which caused Magni to mobilize a crowd and force an attack. This Nima doesn't match history...... Ares sighed helplessly. At the same time, excited about the upcoming large-scale siege campaign.

And when he actually stood in front of the gate of the Blackstone Tower, this excitement turned dull and heavy.

Like Ironforge Castle, the Blackstone Tower is an incomparably huge mountain fortress, the upper layer is controlled by the Blackstone Orcs, and the lower level is controlled by the Black Iron Dwarves, and although the Copperbeard Dwarves and the Orcs are also enemies, they are not here to crusade against the Blackstone Orcs, but to find their old opponents, the Black Iron Dwarves.

Perhaps due to the fact that the Black Iron Dwarves received information in advance, when Magni himself led a large army to defeat the Dark Fortress, all the Black Iron Dwarves hid in their dungeons. Defend the fortress.

What unfolded in front of Ares was a magnificent sight - a huge hollow fortification, a huge stone pillar rising from the hot magma, and at the top of the stone pillar, a huge fortress, just like the one seen in the game, the huge stone fortress stood in the mountain like the heart of the mountain, and four thick iron chains connected the four different corners of the black stone tower. It is also the only way to enter and exit the Blackstone Abyss.

Although the iron chain is a passage, there is no railing on it, and the entire iron chain is tilted into the foundation of the black stone abyss, and the key thing is that there is no guardrail, and the width of the iron chain can only accommodate two dwarves in and out, and if it is a little fatter, it can only be entered and exited by one person. Underneath the chains is red-hot magma......

Standing in front of the Blackstone Gate, Ares finally realized what a terrible decision Magni had made to attack the Black Iron Fortress. How many warriors of the Copperbeard tribe will be buried? Of course, on the way over, Ares learned that Magni attacked the Blackstone Abyss, not just to rescue the Marshal of Stormwind, but more because there were also many people in Ironforge Castle imprisoned in the Blackstone Abyss. Those who were captured after a failed raid before, and those who were captured by patrolling the perimeter for a long time, these people can add up to almost half a corps. That's why Magni took such a big risk and led his army to attack here.

It's just that on the surface, the King of the Dwarves is still acting with the slogan of rescuing the Marshal of Stormwind...... Of course, this is the slogan to the outside world, and everyone in Ironforge knows in their hearts what the adventure of this journey is for. Magni kills two birds with one stone, trying to save the people he wants to save and getting a good name for himself. This is a politician, Ares sighed from his heart. Magni's ability to be king of Ironforge for so long was not just a matter of martial arts and blacksmithing, it was something in an ideal world......

"Ares, the siege battle is about to start, I don't doubt your strength, but you may not be familiar with the siege of the dwarves, for the sake of the Ember Messenger, and for your safety, I suggest that when the battle starts, you can just stand in the back row and watch the battle. My troops will open a gap, and then, you and I, with our troops, will fight into the fortress. ”

Standing in the middle of the Legion's crowd, Magni glanced at the rock-solid Black Iron Fortress and frowned. Then he turned around and said solemnly to Ares.

In the same way, Ares also glanced at the dwarven fortress in front of him, and agreed with Magni's words, no mortal is invincible, and a qualified leader lies in how to lead his people, not blindly strong. In the hordes of undead, Ares can fight his way out, but in the face of the fortress of the Black Iron Dwarves, Ares says that he can't help it. Let the dwarves settle their own disputes......
