Chapter 142: The Hammer Dwarves
In this world, the bold and brave dwarves are an ancient race that originated from the earth spirits created by the Titans of the early world from vibrant stones.
Due to a disease known as the Curse of the Flesh, the Earth Spirit ancestors of the Dwarves underwent a metamorphosis, and their rocky hides turned into soft skin. Eventually, these flesh and blood called themselves dwarves and carved out a powerful ironforge at the snow-covered summit of Kazmodan.
Over the centuries, three dwarven tribes, the Copperbeards, the Hammers, and the Black Iron, have lived together under the wise rule of the mighty King of the Mountains, Modimus Anvimar.
At the time of Modimus' death, tensions became between the three clans, and a war broke out between them over control of the city. Thus, the Battle of the Three Hammers began. This brutal battle lasted for many years, until the Copperbeard clan won sole ownership of Ironforge and expelled its rivals. The war severed all ties between the three tribes, each of whom continued to forge their new destiny.
However, countless years later, the armies of the Black Iron Clan, unwilling to be defeated, swept through the armies and fortresses of their two brother clans, and almost captured both kingdoms. The Hammer Dwarves' homeland in Grimabato has also been damaged by the war and is uninhabitable.
The leader of the Hammer Dwarves, Caderos, traveled north with his people to the lands of Lordaeron, where they settled in the rich forests of Hinterland, where they built the Castle of Eagle's Nest Mountain, and gradually became close to nature, even befriending the local griffons.
This is what Aurelia received about the Hinterland Dwarves.
In order to fulfill Kael'thas orders, Aurelia set out from the human kingdom of Lordaeron, passed through the kingdom of Alterac, and finally reached the Eagle's Nest Mountain in the northwest of Hinterland after crossing mountains and mountains.
The reason why they didn't set out from the sea was because if they landed from the eastern coast, they would need to cross Hinterland to reach Eagle's Nest, and they were ordered not to be detected by the trolls, so Aurelia chose land for the sake of caution.
Upon reaching the Eagle's Nest, the High Elves were warmly welcomed by the current leader of the Hammerhammer Dwarves, High Lord Fustad Wildhammer. (In order not to change in the future, it is better to choose this person in advance as the leader of the Brute Hammer Dwarves in this period, in other words, who is he and his brother?) I'm going to faint. )
Of course, for the sake of observation, Aurelia did not say the real purpose of her coming here at first, but simply came in the name of diplomacy.
Prior to this, the High Elves of Quel'Thallas and the Hammerhammer Dwarves of Hinterland had not communicated.
But sure enough, as His Highness Kael'thas said, the Hammer Dwarves are in some ways like the High Elves, and they have a common understanding of nature and wild surnames.
This is amazing!
Although both races are willing to have a good relationship with other races, they have always seemed a bit authoritarian and mysterious in the eyes of the outside world because of their differences in values and culture.
So when Aurelia and her team spent two months in the city, they quickly formed a friendship based on their shared view of nature and hobbies.
Aurelia then pulls out Kael'thas letters, explaining his plan.
"How can your Highness know us so well? It's incredible!! ”
High Lord Furstad Brute Hammer marveled, and he was even more amazed at Kael'thas than he had been at that plan.
"Your Highness has been in Hinterland for two months, and although I haven't been in contact with you, it's likely that I learned about you at that time."
Aurelia sat down at his bottom and replied with a smile.
This makes Furstad Brute Hammer even more incredible.
"He's been here? I don't know!! ”
"So, is it because of such a simple contact that His Highness came to the conclusion that our two races can get along very well?"
He asked loudly with his eyes open.
"I think so."
Aurelia couldn't think of any other reason, so she nodded:
"In fact, Your Highness's order to me is to wait until we have established a certain friendship before I entrust this plan to you."
Furstad was stunned and looked at the letter in his hand.
The beautiful handwriting revealed the sincerity and friendliness of the other party, and made his heart glow with joy.
They are both allies of the human race, and they are both races with a long history, and the High Elves are much more powerful than them, but at this moment, he can take the lead in extending the hands of friendship, what reason does he have to disagree?
"Hahaha, since His Highness trusts me so much, I naturally won't refuse!"
The dwarf's unique heroism and heartiness were aroused, and Furstad laughed and agreed neatly:
"I'm a brute hammer dwarf, and I'm willing to conclude an alliance contract with the High Elf Kingdom!"
Not indirectly based on human beings, but alone, even without human beings, there is still a covenant that exists.
That's what Kael'thas is for
"I think Your Highness will be glad to hear this, Lord Furstad!"
Mission accomplished
Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but be happy.
This is a friendly and righteous ally, and she has a very good impression of them since this time of relationship.
Unlike humans, dwarves also have a long period of rule, the society is not too complicated, and the whole race, like the High Elves, insists on its own concepts, which can basically be summed up by boldness and kindness. And unlike humans, it's constantly changing, and there are so many forces that you can't be sure what this race is like.
"But those trolls are so cunning and vicious, can you really rely on them?"
Furstad frowned again and asked the question.
In the plan, they need to help some trolls to make this lord a little suspicious.
"Please don't worry about this, the trolls we sent have been ruled and educated by His Highness for 6 years, and they will definitely not betray us!"
In fact, Aurelia was also a little worried in her heart, but her appearance was very determined and natural.
"That's fine."
Seeing Aurelia so sure, Furstad immediately trusted a little more in his heart and nodded in reply.
He thought about it, with such a small number of trolls from Zu Aman, even if he betrayed, it wouldn't have a big impact, and he didn't have to worry too much.
Moreover, if the Elven Highness's plan is carried out smoothly, the Hammer Dwarves will no longer be disturbed by the attacks of the trolls, and they will be able to live a stable life in the future.
"Then, Lady Aurelia, please go back and inform His Highness Kael'thas."
"We will build a crossing on a hidden coast to meet your people and trolls"
