Chapter 298: External Threats
In Arathi, the main enemies of the Riptide Kingdom are the Syndicate bandits, the Stonefist ogres, and the deadwood trolls that have been driven by the Terrans to the eastern forests.
Syndicate bandits and Stonefist ogres were able to occupy a portion of this ancient Terran royal city, and the extent of the decline of the Riptide Kingdom is truly terrifying. Thankfully, the Sandfury tribe on the other side of the sea came to their aid, and with the help of the Theramore troops, Fort Riptide was able to reverse the kingdom's overthrow.
Kazik's base is on the continent of Kalimdor, and it is allied with Fort Riptide, firstly, because of the rich resources of the Arathi Highlands, and secondly, Azeroth is not very peaceful, and it is also good to have an ally. With such a long distance, Riptide and the Sandfury don't have much of a conflict of interest, and they can take what they need from each other. Because of this alliance, Kazik can also have a certain say in some affairs of the Eastern Kingdom. Just as Thrall accepted Sylvanas's Forsaken, the Undercity could share the pressure from the rest of the Eastern Kingdoms for Orgrimmar, and the orc hordes could take the opportunity to meddle in their affairs.
There is some information that the Frostwolf Clan has once again returned to their station in the Alterac Valley. The Undercity and Alterac are close together, and the Forsaken must have provided a great deal of help.
Tarummir seems to have fallen, and it has become a paradise for the dead. Next, it may be time for the Orcs and Forsaken to intervene in the Arathi Heights, where supplies are extremely tempting. In this way, Riptide Castle should speed up its actions, and not to mention Gianna, Kazik will not be willing to fight the orcs. In the same way, Sal should also be unwilling to have a greater conflict with Shafu. Well, tie up the hole in the wall of Soladin, and the orcs should retreat.
The next day, it was almost noon, and Kazik yawned and walked out of his room. Yesterday night, Prince Garin sent two beautiful and seductive maids...... Well, it seems to fit well with the corrupt life of the degenerate aristocracy of the Middle Ages. Thinking about the bell of the housekeeper of the Barov family, Kazik was fascinated for a while. Sugar-coated cannonballs? Hmph, the traverser will not refuse!
"Morning!"
"Oh, Chief Kazik, it's early."
Master Ansrem is happy, it seems, full of spring, old and not ashamed!
"Humph! Early in the morning! Wait, the sun is about to set. ”
The mage girl was very dissatisfied, she knew how Kazik and Master Ainsrem had been treated last night. Gianna is also a nobleman, she knows the corrupt life of these so-called nobles, and even her father and brother are a virtuous person.
'Hum a yarn, I'm kind of following the locals, right?' Ha! Prince Garin was welcoming. When he arrives in Zulfarak, Lao Tzu will also arrange ten or eight sisters? Hey, hey, troll girl! ’
The traverser turned his head away, ignoring the little Terran girl who was angry.
'I was a real guest at Fort Riptide, but I didn't have that kind of treatment when I arrived in Theramore...... Never! ’
It's hard to say this, and I just dare to think about it, otherwise, Gianna will definitely go crazy.
After waiting for a while, Prince Garin arrived with a sad face, and it was obvious that he must have been taught a lesson by Gianna for a long time.
"Chief Kazik, early."
"Morning, Prince Garin."
"Humph!"
Kazik crooked mouth, Garin. Torbain shrugged, angry Queen Theramore, don't provoke well.
"Prince Garin, how is the battle in Bodegor, is there any news to report back?"
"It went well!"
When it came to the war, Prince Garin instantly seemed to be a different person, and his spirit was hundredfold. Bodgor can be said to be the gateway to the royal city of Riptide Castle, and if an external force wants to invade here, Bodgor can't easily bypass the hurdle. That way, Riptide Castle had plenty of time to respond.
"Chief Kazik, Bodgol has been breached. According to the news that your Stonehammer Ogre is gathering those Stonefist Ogres. It has been cleared. ”
"Yes, Chief Kazik, Prince Garin, the situation in Fort Riptide can be said to be settled now. What's next, going north, or going south? ”
Master Ansrem took over the conversation, and as soon as he finished speaking, his face changed to a very embarrassed face.
"It's just...... Before you woke up, Chief Kazik, I received a magical teleportation from fellow mages of Dalaran. I need to get back to Dalaran first. There is intelligence that near the ruins of Dalaran, those undead natural disasters seem to have a big move. ”
"Dalaran?!"
Kazik was surprised, there was a war in that mage city at this time?
"Master Ansrem, are you sure? Undead Scourge?! Or is it the Forsaken to which Sylvanas belongs? ”
"Scourge of the Dead!"
"It's fine." The traverser nodded.
"If there are people who hate the undead in the world, those Terrans of the Lordaeron Kingdom are one of them, the pain of the country, the forsaken of the Banshee King is the second, the hatred of the skin. Even, Sylvanas's hatred for the undead is even deeper. If it's just a scourge of the undead, well, most likely, it's an undead army that has been attacked by the Forsaken and fled. It shouldn't be a big problem. ”
The three Terran leaders nodded, indeed, the Forsaken hated the Undead Scourge monstrously. They are supposed to be clearing out the undead forces in their sphere of influence, and it is normal for some of the undead disasters to come to the vicinity of Dalaran. Despite his heavy losses under Akmund's attack, Kenrito also had some of the mage units that survived, and they were able to cope with the small army of the undead.
"I'm sorry, Prince Garin, even so, don't worry about Dalaran, I should go back."
"No, needless to say, Master Ainsrem, I will always remember your help to Riptide Castle. Dalaran and Riptide are both one of the Seven Kingdoms of the Terrans, and our friendship is long and deep. If anything, be sure to let us know, and the Tolbairns will not fail any of their friends. ”
Nodding to everyone present, the old mage took out his staff, and in a surge of magic power, he was about to teleport back to Dalaran. It's an airplane again, so it's convenient, don't want it......
"Wait, Master Ansrem!"
Kazik stopped the leader of the mages of Dalaran, and since he had met him, it was important to have a good relationship with them. Whether it's the battle in Riptide Castle or the adventure in the Tomb of Tyr, Chief Sandfury and the mage leader get along very well, and it's a good start.
At the suggestion of a hot mage, Dalaran was rebuilt, and it was made into a floating city. Whether it's Northrend or the Broken Isles, this city in the sky can be easily moved around. But as far as the traveler knows, these mages have not yet reached the Tanaris Desert.
There was no past hatred, no conflict, on the contrary, Kazik knew that Kenrito had a lot of secret knowledge in his custody, even legendary weapons. If you have a good relationship with Dalaran, you won't suffer anything. The icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow. Dalaran is still rebuilding, and Kenrito is at his weakest, and this time should be the best to send warmth.
"Dalaran is the city of mages, and like the High Elves' Silvermoon City, it is a holy place of magic. Master Ansrem, I have a Syndra elf under my command, which you saw at your meeting in Theramore. ”
The old mage nodded, he was still very strange at that time, elves and trolls actually got together? Very impressive.
"The ancient city of Eresaras, where the Gens of Sindra live, houses a wealth of ancient magical knowledge that has been passed down since ancient times. I hope that Eresaras can communicate with Dalaran a lot, which will promote the friendship between you and me. ”
Master Ansrem was convinced, after all, the current Dalaran was weakened, and the entire city was in ruins. Multiple friends, multiple paths. Gianna was also quite happy, 'I hate violence', although she is super strong, this sentence is her mantra. The world is peaceful or something, it should be what this mage girl is most willing to see. Gianna's vision of world peace will not change for at least a long time......
"Prince Garin and I agreed to open the portal between Riptide Castle and Eresaras. Master Ansrem, I hope this can be assisted by Dalaran. ”
"Indeed, Master Ansrem, the cavalry of our Riptide Kingdom is very strong, and I can even proudly claim that the Arathi Cavalry is the strongest cavalry force of all human kingdoms. But in terms of this mage army, hahaha, I'm not afraid of your jokes, Riptide Castle is about to sever the mage's inheritance. ”
Fort Riptide and Dalaran have a long-standing friendship, the same clan and the same clan, their current situation is not very good, huddle together for warmth is the best choice. Not only did Erezaras preserve the ancient arcane knowledge, but Kazik also promised to sponsor Dalaran with a large sum of money. Suddenly attacked by the magic of Akmund the Polluter, Dalaran was almost completely destroyed, and a huge amount of supplies were needed to rebuild the city of Dalaran. Although the mages are all super rich and handsome (warriors are short and poor), the funding gap is too great. Got financial assistance from the Sand Fury? This is the best news Master Ainsrem has ever heard.
'Hehe, hehe, hehe. ’
The leader of the mages of Dalaran readily agreed, and Kazik was even more satisfied. Not long ago, when the traverser went to Laran, he commanded the lich boy to carefully scavenge the entire ruins of Dalaran, and the harvest was not small.
Is this the wool out of the sheep? ’
The old mage departed, promising to send a team of mages to Riptide Castle as soon as possible. Now, it's up to the three chiefs, Prince Garin, Gianna, and Kazik.
"Going north? Or, to the south? ”
It's the same topic again.
"Prince Garin, my advice, go north."
"Can you elaborate, Chief Kazik?"
Garin. Thorbein listened carefully, and the mage girl was also curious about Kazik's proposal.
"Prince Garin, now to the south, uh, it should be said to be the southeast of the Arathi Heights, where there are only deadwood trolls and a handful of Stonefist ogres, and they won't pose much of a threat to Riptide Fort for a short time."
"Where's the north, Kazik?"
"Those syndicate bandits are also not a big threat. It's just that they are very cunning, and the Arathi field is very empty, and it is not easy to clear it at once. Most importantly, Gianna, Prince Garin, we should see a threat from further north. ”
Further north? Scourge of the Dead, and the Forsaken.
