Large blocks of red barren stone floated in the sky. A large stone is the size of a kingdom, and it hovers in the middle of other relatively small stones - some large ones can build houses or cities on them, others smaller than a fist. A large chain of darkness connected many stones. Wild-flowing fungi and sinister humanoids are scattered across these deserted islands. Overhead, the twisted void unleashed flickering rays of light and energy.

Outlands, Hellfire Fortress, Glory Castle.

The perennial wind blows constantly, like a big hand, constantly caressing the red earth.

Fort of Glory is located in the Path of Glory, he is south of the Hellfire Fortress and belongs to the Alliance faction.

After the Second Orc War, the Alliance sent an expedition through the Dark Gate with the intention of completely eliminating the threat of the Orcs, and Fort of Glory sits on the Hellfire Peninsula, held by the remnants of the first elite Alliance unit, the Children of Lothar, who penetrated deep into Draenor.

Fort Glory is one of the few bases of humanity in the Outlands, he is located on the front line of the war, compared to the Outlands Aurelia Fortress, Brute Hammer Fortress and Kenvari Village, which were originally established or established with the expeditionary force in the Outlands, the role of Fort Glory is undoubtedly more important, it is the front fort of human wars, belongs to the front line of war, where humans and orcs fight, and fight demons who constantly sprang out of the warped void with members of the Burning Legion.

What's more, the area of Fort Glory is called the Hellfire Fortress, and where the Hellfire Fortress is located, there is an extremely important building, the Dark Gate!

That is the hope of all humanity. Those left behind. Looking forward to the day in the future. The Dark Door will open once more.

However, this is only a good hope in the heart, because no one in either the Glory Castle or the Aurelian Fortress has ever taken the initiative to reopen the Dark Gate.

Since they took the initiative to cut it off and protect their hometown through the Dark Gate, they have already made a decision, and now this is just the expectation of their hometown in their hearts.

Fort Glory, bedroom. Khadgar fell into a drowsy sleep, and a vision of his dream began to unfold.

The sky is a mix of colors. The light swept across the sky like colorful lightning bolts. The sun had vanished, and the sky had taken on a deep red color. But he could see the moon hanging high in the sky, which looked many times larger than before. The second object is rose-red, which is closer to the horizon, while a third, smaller, bright blue star floats directly above the rose-colored planet. Thin tentacles-like clouds fluttered in the air.

The earth began to crack, and boulders and soil fell downward.

He leaped as far as he could, just before the ridge collapsed. Stepping on the ground in front of him, the mountains disappeared from view. The ocean is gone. Now in its place is the abyss with no end in sight, waiting to devour the falling stones. The continent is hanging in an endless darkness illuminated by colorful light.

The whole world was slowly swallowed, and in front of his vision, there was a man and a woman.

The woman has blonde hair, long pointed ears, and a slender figure, obviously an elf, while the man's rough face, burly body, full of fortitude, and a weapon in his hand,

But whether it is a man or a woman, they all have one thing in common, that is, there is despair in their eyes.

But soon, the man's eyes were firm, and at that moment, the eyes revealed were extremely bright, and he only heard him shout loudly, "Look over there." ”

He pointed to a complex of buildings not far away, "Fort Glory is still strong. We built it to be our fortress on the continent of Draenor. Therefore, it will continue to carry out that responsibility. ”

He turned his body and looked at a group of people not far away, and the voice in his mouth became louder and louder; "When we crossed, we knew we weren't going to come back. We expected death, but we didn't. The Dark Gate has been closed. We've done what we came here for. What we do now is entirely up to us. There must be other companions in this world, and we need to find them and bring them back. We'll be exploring, making new allies, and continuing to fight with the Horde so they don't do anything like that in the future. The Light is still with us. We still have things to do. We will decide the fate of this world in the future. ”

We will decide the fate of this world in the future.

"Come on," he said, pointing to Fort Glory. "It's time to go home."

The rift swallowed the world,

"Whew! Call! Call! ”

Khadgar woke up from his dream, his shirt was soaked, his forehead was covered with sweat, as Khadgar got up, sweat ran down his forehead, drop by drop, a handkerchief was handed over from a strong arm, and a deep voice sounded in Khadgar's ear; "Khadgar, you're having nightmares again?"

Khadgar, one of the five heroes of Stormwind's towering expedition to the Outlands.

Great, mage Khadgar.

As a young man, Khadgar was sent undercover by the Kenrito Council of Dalaran to go undercover with a free mage, Medivan, because of his excellent eavesdropping skills.

In his abode, Karazan - the Tower of Medivan, he meets strange, strange, but friendly mages, and Khadgar helps him manage the private library with some of the things he does as an assistant in the Tower of Medivan.

But he learned a lot during this time. Maddie proclamation sù his great mother, Magna. Egwen's deeds taught him a lot of magic and philosophical knowledge, and Medivan left without reason without reason, his whereabouts were ethereal, his memory declined..., and in the continuous run-in, Medivan told him that the name "Khadgar" means trust in dwarven language. In the continuous run-in, he became the only apprentice of Medivan, the most powerful mage in the world.

Medi proclaimed the origin of his world, the battles of the forces of light and endless darkness, the dust of time that filled Karazhan and the time fragments that filled Karazhan and the Tirisfa meeting, which filled the mysterious corridors with time fragments, and he saw many visions that revealed important events in the past and the future...... His magical skills and his insight grew exponentially in a short period of time. Far more than ten years in Dalaran's library. However, in Dalaran, many of his mentors have disappeared or been brutally murdered. And talking about the constant emergence of demons and the infinite respect for Medivan.

During Karazhan's life, he discovers that Medivin is a magician who has no regard for the consequences. No matter how strong a mage is, there are people who die suddenly because they use spells that are beyond their abilities. Here, however, Medivan never had a magic that he could not complete, even a dragon seemed to be easily captured by him, and he was immeasurably confident, he knew that there were only two kinds of mages who could not do anything, too stupid or too wise and powerful, and it was clear that Medivan was the latter. He later learns that Medivan is so powerful that he is indeed a free mage who is not subordinate to Dalaran, as he is the guardian of the ancient Tirisfa Order. Inheriting the divine power of several top magicians, he is so powerful that the higher-ups of Dalaran are in awe of him...... At this time, a strange woman wanders the halls of Karazhan, and Khadgar realizes that she is spying on him. He eventually catches up with her and discovers that she is an orc, and half-orc of half-human blood.

Enraged, he demands an explanation from Medivan, who is told that Garona is an emissary sent by the tribe and that Medivan hopes to make peace. Garona and Khadgar enviously show respect for each other when they meet, and this respect eventually turns into friendship. They encounter a fragment of time in which Garona assassinated the human king Ryan in the private library, much to Garona's surprise and remorse. When they survive the attack of a demon. After Medivan insisted that there had never been any demons there, they began to wonder about the mysterious mage's motives. When Khadgar and Garona face Medivan. He revealed his true true face, Sargeras, attached to the unborn child in Egwen's womb, and the divine power of Tirisfa, which had been infused into him since childhood, was sealed by Sargerrstone Guò for 6 years during a serious illness as a teenager. The two of them escaped from Karazan and went to warn Ryan and Lothar.

Ryan didn't listen to them, and he still trusted his childhood friend Medivan. But Lothar believes in Khadgar and returns to Karazan to end Medivan's threat forever. They track Medivan to a basement and culminate in a battle of magic and power. But during the battle, Medivan cast a spell on Khadgar, causing him to age dozens of years and become the old version of himself he had seen in the Fragments of Time. Eventually, however, Medivan, as a Fallen Titan, overestimated the endurance and reflexes of the human body, so much so that he was defeated by Khadgar, who took up Lothar's greatsword. Garona was instilled with her own memories by Medivan (Sargeras) during the battle, and it was Garona who fell into infinite pain and did not belong to her, and then came to Stormwind and took advantage of Ryan's previous trust in her to kill Ryan with a dagger.

After the death of the demon Medivan, the entire Windwind Trail and the southern part of the Elwyn Forest were shrouded in endless night, and the Gates of the Dead and Nightmares were created here, so it became the crossroads of the Twilight Forest and the Death Forest. After talking to a strange but familiar fragment of time from the future (the future Reborn Guardian Medivan), the old Khadgar buries the fallen warrior and Medivan, packs up and leaves Karazhan to join Lothar in battle, leaving the Tower of Medivan forever.

Khadgar joined the Western Rebellion, but was soon defeated. He then traveled with Lothar to the north, to Lordaeron for help, where they visited the wise Tyrenus II, and he went to the Council of Kenrito at the Violet Castle of Dalaran. Khadgar's desire to uncover the secrets of the Dark Gate became especially useful during the Second War, when he and his assistant delved into the portal's magic items. After the battle of the portal, only Khadgar's mystical powers were able to destroy the energy of the portal, but even so, he failed. Because even though all his power was focused on the Dark Portal, there were cracks that survived the onslaught of his magic. Kenrito descended to Azeroth under Khadgar's Stronghold and established the Watchdog stronghold in the Blackwater Swamp south of the Swamp of Sorrows, a cursed land that burned to a fiery red after the Dark Gate was opened. Khadgar stayed there to continue his research into the Dark Gate and promised that it would not be reused.

Finally, the day of fear came, and a strange darkness engulfed the black swamp, and even the sound of large forces moving towards the rift could be heard. When that darkness is gone. The portal has been rebuilt. And the Bloodcave Clan has fled to their own world, Draenor. Khadgar began to suspect that the Horde would attack again. Soon the portal opened again, and the orcs began to attack the Watchtower. Neozu began to attack Azeroth, gathering magical items from all over the world. Khadgar suspects that the orcs will try to open more rifts. This was confirmed when Neozu launched an assault on the newly built Stormwind City. And when he left, the Book of Medivan was lost.

In fact, the Book of Medivan was stolen by spies in the kingdom of Alterac, but the forces of Naozu were keenly aware of it and traveled to Alterac to retrieve it. For the sake of the people of Azeroth and the future of the world, Khadgar decided to lead an expedition into Draenor, where General Tulayan, Danas. Thorbane, Aurelia. Windrunner and Griffin Knight Kudran. With the help of the Brute Hammer, he traverses Draenor. Attempt to hunt down Naozu. Until the end, Neozu managed to use the Scepter of Sargeras to open a new rift, and Draenor began to destroy Miè as a result. After learning that Draenor's destruction would lead to a catastrophe in the world of Azeroth, Khadgar knew that he had to close the dark door to Azeroth on Draenor's side so that the world of Azeroth would not be destroyed by this twisted force. Using the Book of Medivan and Gul'dan's skull, he achieved his goal, but they closed their way home, leaving behind a world that was ruining Miè. Khadgar was also sucked into the Twisted Void for risking the Dark Gate to close......

And now he is still alive and well.

Khadgar took the handkerchief, gently wiped the sweat, and said softly; "Yes. I thought of Tulayan again,"

"I survived that time. The two of them disappeared,"

Khadgar's eyes were misty, he had been unconscious in the Twisted Void, his soul consciousness wandering around, and he had survived thanks to the advanced knowledge and soul-walking skills he had learned from Medivan. At this time, he was desperate, but he stumbled upon another mysterious race in the universe, the Naru tribe, who brought the divine and holy light to all corners, and under the guidance of Naru, he was taken to the ruins of Shattrath, the former capital of the Delaneei, and he and the wandering races of Draeno rebuilt the city under the leadership of Naru.

From then on, he stayed here, seeking esoteric knowledge from Naru. It was only once a year, or when Fort Glory needed support, that he would leave Shattrath and go to Fort Glory.

"Don't talk about this, you have survived, Tulayan's strength is far above us, he should have survived," Danas. Tolbain muttered, then shifted the subject to speak; "The damage suffered by this world has completely reversed what we are familiar with, gravity, space, and even the movement of time, there are zài problems, the world is slowly collapsing, he is heading for extinction, you have been in Shattrath for so many years, have you researched a solution?"

"No," said Khadgar, who had already done it, without thinking about it, and then continued to preach; "The destruction of the world, with our can't stop it at all, the only thing we can do is to slow down the destruction of the world, but even so, it is a huge project, which requires us to unite all the forces on this continent,"

"How is this possible? Not to mention those damn orcs, there are more and more demons in this world, and this is all an obstacle, and it is too difficult to unite," Danas. Tol Bain spoke directly.

Danas. Thorbain's words were more straightforward, interrupting Khadgar's words, quite a little impolite, but Khadgar didn't care, so many years have passed, in this foreign land, even the villagers see the villagers, they have tears in their eyes, as their comrades-in-arms, they were born and died together, they can't go back to their homes, and their feelings are extremely deep, Danas. What kind of character Thorbain, Khadgar knows best,

Just listen to Danas. Tolbane continued; "Recently, there has been a movement in the Dark Gate, and the ruins of the Dark Gate have been occupied by demons,"

"The Dark Gate is occupied," Khadgar said in astonishment.

"yes, I don't know what those demons are going to do, re-occupy the dark door that is already in ruins,"

"I've summoned a few of you here to discuss this matter,"

"Wait until Kudran arrives. I'm going to force our way into the ruins of the Dark Gate once. I'm going to see what those demons have in mind. "Danas. Tolbain said in a deep voice,

The man Kudran is a brave griffin knight. In order to protect the coast of Lordaeron from the Dragonmaw Clan, Kudran led the griffon knights in battle against the Red Dragons. At that time, the Dragonthroat Clan used the evil artifact Demon Soul to control the Red Dragon Queen Alexstasa, and the Red Dragon Clan had to obey the orc warlock Nekruz. The Bone Crusher's dispatch is the enemy of the Alliance.

"Danas. Thorbain's right, you have to figure out the purpose of those demons," Khadgar agreed.

The Dark Gate, even if it was in ruins, no one dared to underestimate the Dark Gate.

On the other side of the Dark Gate, it leads to the world of Azeroth, where Khadgar and others are home, and the demons occupy the ruins of the Dark Gate, which means that the meaning is too heavy, and the demons are likely to repair the Dark Gate and use the Dark Gate as a bridgehead, just like the orcs back then, to attack the world of Azeroth.

That tragic battle was experienced by a few people. Such a terrible scene, Khadgar simply did not allow it to appear again.

You see, the dark gate says it's ruins. But it didn't collapse at all, and it only took a lot of resources to fix it, so that the Dark Gate could be activated again.

Khadgar, who found out that the matter was strict, looked stern, and said with concern in his mouth; "Is the power of Glory Castle enough?"

Shaking his head, Danas. Torbain spoke directly; "Not enough, the number of demons condensed in the Dark Gate is too huge, not to mention the Glory Castle, even if you are added, it will not work, so this time we can't attack hard, but to sneak into the past, this time we are not fighting, but to figure out the purpose of the demons, what is it?"

Snow-white beard, constantly shaking, Danas. Tolbairn said calmly.

One question and one answer, Danas. The conversation between Torbain and Khadgar continued, and soon the two of them had already shifted the topic from the Dark Gate to the Glory Castle.

As a bridgehead, Fort Glory is completely a military fortress, and there is no production at all.

As a military fortress, it is not good at production, and the area is not good, the entire Hellfire Peninsula is extremely barren, the soil is hard, and at the same time, this area is eroded by demonic energy and there are constantly flames suddenly emerging from the ground, and the cultivation industry can be said to have no future here. There is no water, no woods, and even the firewood used for general burning is taken from local thorns, and even this still cannot meet the basic needs here, so there is hardly a shadow of an industry that directly solves people's food problems. So the industry here is completely none.

But hunting predators and hell boars can barely be counted as one.

Facing the battlefield here, the productivity of the army naturally has to serve the war as quickly as possible, and the cultivation here is not good, but other military industries naturally have a considerable level. But even so, the military industry is a deformed industry here, and the situation is very extreme due to the war: it has a great smelting power, and it also gathers the best weapons, armor makers, and engineering item makers in the Outlands, and the inhabitants of this place are all veterans of war. From this point of view, the forging and engineering industries here are quite developed.

The products manufactured here are quite sophisticated, and in terms of practicality, they are all excellent and high-quality, so the manufacturing industry is quite developed. Along with the manufacturing industry, the mining industry is developed here. The cleverness of the location of the Glory Fortress lies in the fact that it directly relies on one of the two major ore producing areas here, thus ensuring that the raw materials for the manufacture of weapons and armor in the harsh external environment can be smelted into ingots as soon as possible and quickly made into finished products for battle, which is a strong support for the front line.

However, due to the scarcity of land, the production of wild boars in the entire peninsula is not large, and the predator settlements are too far away, the source of raw materials for the leather industry is actually very problematic, so it can only be based on the strong local ore production capacity to turn to chain mail manufacturing, coupled with the poor frontal protection and the difficulty of sending spies, the manufacture of light leather armor is almost forgotten here. Of course, at the same time, we can also find that the number of mages here is not large, and the source of raw materials depends on the capture of the same orcs and ravens and the supply from the Aurelian Fortress, and the tailoring industry is also in a difficult state here due to the difficulty of sourcing raw materials.

All in all, Fort of Glory existed purely for the needs of war. Which day if there is no longer standing. Fort Glory must belong to the place to be abandoned. It's really not a place for people, and water is a big constraint.

For example, Khadgar broke out in a cold sweat, if it was changed to Shattrath, at least he could still wash up, but in Glory Castle, Khadgar did not have such conditions, water resources. It is a war preparation resource, not to say that it is washed, that is, to drink, it must be saved, and a large amount of waste must not be wasted, otherwise there will be no savings, once the supply line is cut off, Fort Glory will be finished, there is no need to fight at all, Fort Glory will fall.

The opposite of Glory Castle is the Aurelian Fortress.

Compared to Fort Glory, the exterior environment of Aurelia Fortress is much better. Although it also hangs the title of a fortress. But as can be seen from their well-established civic center and the existence of related departments, this is the old political center of the Outlands and one of the important logistics bases of the old alliance.

Since it is a logistics base, the industry here is naturally developed, and there are many farmers in Aurelia Fortress, which shows that the agricultural level here is quite high, and food production is not a problem, not only can it be self-sufficient, but also responsible for meeting the needs of Fort Glory and Brute Hammer Fortress, and even make wine.

Not only that, but some cash crops are also produced here, such as flax, the raw material of cloth clothing, otherwise the soldiers on the front line will have to wear armor naked, which is very uncomfortable.

At the same time, the fortress of Aurelia is located in the forest-rich teroka, and the logging industry is also quite prosperous here, and all the firewood used by humans for burning basically depends on the supply here, otherwise all human members will have to learn to eat raw food to survive.

Thanks to the forest resources here, the number of hides obtained from hunting wild beasts is also considerable, which strongly supports front-line operations. Even due to its proximity to the river, drinking water from various regions is supplied from here.

As can be seen from the above, the industry of the Aurelia Fortress is very complete, and compared to a prosperous city in the world of Azeroth, there is undoubtedly a lack of materials here, but there is no doubt that the departments here are complete, which is a great achievement in a place that is full of war and once isolated from the world.

Compared with the front-line strongholds and their own primary industry, the military industry of Fortress Aurelia is less developed, after all, everything is biased and insufficient, but even so, the military industry of Fortress Aurelia is still not to be underestimated.

The well-established blacksmith shop shows that the smelting and forging capacity here is not low, the numerous spiders that can be hunted provide the necessary raw materials for the development of the tailoring industry here, the abundant source of leather has also made the tanning industry here always at the forefront of the here, and what is even more rare is that the construction of the complex and perfect waterwheel on the river marks that they have almost infinite power, and also demonstrates their superb woodworking technology and engineering manufacturing technology.

In fact, the daily necessities used by the human forces here such as eating utensils, beds, tables and chairs are all from here, and the Aurelian Fortress is a good way to ensure the daily life of everyone, so that everyone will not live the life of a wild man. The industry system is complete here, and the departments are also quite complete, but light industry accounts for a relatively large proportion, and the level of military industry is not as high as that in other places.

The Aurelian Fortress perfectly plays the role of a logistics base, and the complete production department makes it an indispensable part of humanity in the outer lands, such a complete economic system not only makes it self-sufficient, but also can supply the needs of other places, and the economic system of a single place can be said to be quite perfect.

However, in comparison, the level of light industry in the fortress of Aurelia is slightly higher than that of the heavy industry and military industry, which is also due to the external environment.

After all, there is no perfect thing, and there is no perfect city, there are advantages, and naturally there are disadvantages.

Throughout the human bases in the Outlands, other places, such as the Aurelia Fortress, he is not the first logistics base, the reputation of the first logistics base, to be reduced to the village of Kendari, the village of Kendari is the largest granary and the most stable rear, its existence has a decisive impact, compared to it, the Aurelia Fortress can only be regarded as the second economic center, in the original history, the loss of the Kanti has caused the human forces in the outer lands to fall into a dangerous situation of almost no supply for a while.

But that's Kael'thas made it, and it's Kael'thas who doesn't declare it, otherwise. Take the situation in the village of Kendari. It is simply impossible that it will be captured so lightly.

You know, before Kael'thas did anything to the village of Khenvari. The blood elves led by the Kyle event are still allies of the human race, which is why Kael'thas led the blood elves to be unimpeded along the way, and they easily approached the logistics base of Kenvari Village without being intercepted.

So Kael'thas took action and directly caught the humans of Kwari Village by surprise, and directly succeeded in capturing Kwari Village.

But now. That qiē is already history, Kael'thas is now living a very nourishing life, without the aftermath of the Well of the Sun, Kael'thas is not destined to be like the original history, can be received, Kael'thas tragic fate, has been unknowingly, changed by Rex.

The village of Kendari is a large area of barren farmland, a forest of barns, and a fairly high level of agriculture, with not only specialized plantations providing food and cash crops, but also animal husbandry providing meat, beverages and milk. What's even more amazing is that there was once a horticultural cultivation here. Especially the mage residents. There is not only a primary industry sector that specializes in daily life. There is also a department dedicated to providing food for thought, which I personally feel is not at the same level as other places.

Since the primary industry is the most important here, and the mineral production area of the Void Storm is still not close to the local area, the development of the secondary industry, especially the heavy industry and military industry, is not as good as that of the front-line strongholds, Glory Fort and Brute Hammer Fortress, but the level of light industry here is still quite strong. The well-developed municipal facilities show that the original economic system was well organized and the departments were complete, and the quality of the clothes is quite fine and the tailoring industry is not a problem according to the local relics. The neat furnishings of some of the officials' rooms also indicate the development of local woodworking and furniture processing technology at that time. The development of light industry here is particularly outstanding, which is very much in line with the role he played back then.

So when it comes to the heavy industry and military industry that used to exist there, it is also relatively inferior, but as a logistics base, plus the remnants of the Burning Legion nearby at that time still attacked from time to time, the level of heavy industry that used to exist here is not much worse. The blacksmith's stock zài ensured that there was also a timely replenishment of weapons and armor; The many migratory beasts in the vicinity also make the development of the tanning industry here have sufficient raw material guarantees;

Not much different from Glory Fort is the Hammer Fortress, which is located in the Valley of the Shadowmoon, and the Valley of the Shadow Moon, as the place where Gul'dan forcibly severed the connection between the orcs and the elements, is also a place where almost no birds lay eggs, which is very similar to the Hellfire Peninsula. It's also a war front, and it's just as busy as Fort Glory, but the economy here is much simpler, and as far as I've observed, the economy isn't even as good as Fort Glory, and it's a purely battle fortress where almost all supplies depend on external supplies

Since the purpose of the Hammer Fortress is so clear, I will keep the introduction of the industry simple. First of all, the land of Shadowmoon Valley is full of chaotic energy, and it is impossible for dwarves, who are "alien species", to engage in any development of cultivation here; At the same time, the enemies they face here are particularly complex, leaving them with little time to make weapons and mine mines, and all their combat equipment comes from the supply of Aurelian Fortress and the capture of the enemy. But even in such hostile conditions, there are still well-developed industries: winemaking and griffon farming.

The dwarves are world-famous for their love of spirits, and they would rather have no food than wine, so in the fortress, in addition to the warehouses where grain is stored, the most important thing for them is probably a large barrel, so the level of winemaking here is not bad, no matter how strong it is, it can be self-sufficient; As for the griffin breeding industry, it is caused by environmental persecution, in order to be able to seize air supremacy, flying mounts must be guaranteed, then griffon breeding is not sloppy at all, in fact, almost all the griffin breeding talents in the strongholds of the alliance come out of here, and it can also be seen from this that the development of griffin breeding here. (To be continued......)
