If it weren't for the Assassin Alliance seizing this fleeting opportunity, then even if the Assassin Alliance raised its flag and became independent, it would also usher in the revenge of the dark gods and the hostility of other gods, after all, this independence really shook their system, so that those who were originally rather the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix were attached to them The minds of the small and medium-sized gods who were attached to them and the big gods were alive, as the gods who had also been independent, because of the start of the large-scale god war, the small and medium-sized gods whose strength was not enough to compete with several major gods were forced to join the various gods, then the small and medium-sized gods with similar personalities have a good life, but those gods who are not very good are in trouble, and the oppressed are sent to do the most dangerous tasks.

Just like the gods of the Assassin League because they all like to raid in the shadows, and the god of darkness and destruction is a god who likes to break through head-on like warriors, so the relationship between the two sides is too bad, and this is not something that can be compensated by both sides with shadows and dark energy, just like Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodox Christianity, although they all belong to the category of Christianity, but the grievances and grievances between the three parties can't be written even if millions of words are written, so although the essence of the energy used is dark shadows and other energy, but the personality gap between the two sides is too big to talk about it at all, so although the gods of the Assassin Alliance were forcibly subdued by force, but it was a model of oral disobedience, so this was the sudden rebellion, and finally ignited the fire of freedom in the hearts of the enslaved little gods。

And at this time, the will of the abyss also began to play tricks.

After all, there is no chance to make trouble if you don't make trouble, and then there will definitely be a final battle between the gods to solve grievances and the division of interests between each other, well, in fact, the second is the most important thing, the reason why the gods want to be so unwise to provoke friction immediately after driving away from the field is because the heads of several aspects of the division of interests can not be discussed, so it is very simple to decide to speak directly with their fists.

However, because of the war, several high-level gods have consumed a lot, so they signed an agreement with each other, this time several parties rely on their hands to fight, and the god-level power can only dispatch the lower gods at most, after all, the gods are also afraid of the loss of high-end combat power!

But it was clear that the Abyssal Will would not satisfy the gods, and the Abyssal Will would not allow these demons without its mark to continue to grow and develop, so the Abyssal Will arranged an encounter, an encounter between the demons and the legions of the gods.

As for the encounter, it is naturally very simple, as long as you touch it on a small scale and let the gods know the arrival of the evil neighbor of the demon, as for the rest, naturally there is no need to worry about the will of the abyss, as long as the newly transformed demon with its mark is transferred away in time, and the others will die!

Soon the plan unfolded, a patrol team of the gods who was on a guard mission walked on a familiar patrol path, but soon they found a not very obvious footprint on the curb, the reason why they noticed this footprint is because this footprint exudes a depressing power, just like the depression when people pass through a dark tunnel, so the patrol team of the gods is still very vigilant while sending two people to call for support, while the other team members all traced the direction in which the footprints left。

These footprints are very unclear, and even in many cases there will be no footprints on a section of the road, because if the footprints are too clear, it will be too fake, after all, the enemy is not stupid, so he can't see such an obvious temptation?

Therefore, the Abyss Will naturally has to do a hidden point, and also deliberately leave an act that erases the traces, so as to best lure the other party towards the encounter that the Abyss Will has already arranged.

(Today's 70-year-old birthday, although I just took a mouth to eat, but I never expected to be pulled by a few elders to climb the mountain in the afternoon, climbed to the top of the mountain and climbed down, and so on down the mountain are almost four o'clock in the afternoon, a word is tired! ）

Stormwind and the Gnoll War

Seventy-five years before the Black Gate

There are many different human kingdoms that flourish throughout the Eastern Kingdoms, but the smallest and most isolated of them is the Kingdom of Stormwind. The land prospered over the years, and as the population of the Stormwind Kingdom grew, many towns developed from the nearby Elwyn Forest, Red Ridge Mountains, and Sunshine Glades to the Western Wilderness, known as the breadbasket of the kingdom.

Although the land could be called peaceful, the threat soon surfaced. A group of fierce but simple-minded gnolls have taken these neighboring humans as easy prey, and have ganged up to raid fleets, farms, and towns in the Stormwind Kingdom. For this reason, the Stormwind Kingdom sent its valiant knights and other soldiers to patrol in order to defend their lands.

Stormwind then became a refuge for refugees who had been driven from their homes. This impregnable city brings not only physical safety, but also spiritual guidance. For decades, the burgeoning Church of Light has sent a number of devout priests from Lordaeron all the way south to spread their faith. Upon arrival in the Kingdom of Stormwind, the pious people established an organization known as the Sacred Order of the Northern Priests, who provided wisdom and solace to the kingdom in times of hardship.

The priests soothe the people of Stormwind with the power of the Light, and the army patrols the kingdom's borders. Although their watchfulness saved the frontier territories from death, the threat of the gnolls did not go away.

And when King Barathan Ureon came to power, this potential threat spiraled out of control. The Gnolls began to attack Stormwind in a blatant manner, but what was more, these attacks were nothing more than a ploy - when the soldiers came to defend the city, the farms of the Wild West would be destroyed. Even so, the gnolls' siege was too much for the soldiers to spare any more men to defend the farmland.

This kind of tactic is unusual for a Gnoll. If anything, the reason for this is probably that there has never been a leader of decent minds among the gnolls. The Eel-Tooth King is a cunning red-ridged gnoll who has spent years conquering other groups of gnolls around him, and now he has the best of both worlds: on the one hand, he has an army of ruthless marauders for him to drive, and on the other hand, he has the means to put them to good use. Within a year of this campaign, the Gnolls had already looted a third of the settlements outside the city.

King Barathans then sent emissaries to Lordaeron, Gilneys, and the other human kingdoms for help, but no one came to their aid—it was unprofitable for the many kingdoms to come and clear the threat of the poor country. The Kingdom of Stormwind is a self-sufficient place, and since it has little trade with other kingdoms, not to mention their ideas that are quite old-fashioned to others. The humans of the Stormwind Kingdom have no choice but to find their own way out.

Enraged by the reluctance of the other realms to help, Barathon resolved to settle it himself: if the Gnoll King dared to attack Stormwind with impunity, he would have to resort to the same bold tactics.

So, the king left the city under the cover of night with a small group of elite knights who were fully equipped and waited for the next group of gnolls to attack the city. When the Gnolls' raiders finally attacked, the King led the pack into action—they hurried out of Stormwind and into the Red Ridge Mountains. And it was just as Barathan had expected: the Gnoll King had poured all his forces into the offensive, but he had not charged with the army, and like the other Gnolls, Eelfang was happy to leave the trouble to others.

However, now that the army is gone, the weak garrison of the Red Ridge King can be said to be exposed.

Barathan led the crowd into a battle with Eelfang and his guards for a day and a night, and it was the king's own blade that finally swept the throat of the gnoll king. Half of the knights died, and the remnants were bruised, but the rule of the Eelfang came to an end at Barathan's hands.

As soon as the gnoll army heard the news of the death of its leader, it was immediately plunged into civil war. Several gnolls vying for the position of eel fangs are competing with each other for the position of eelfang, but none of them are as cunning and cunning as him, and these gnolls who have been greatly reduced in the number of cannibalistic battles are no longer able to penetrate into human territory. King Baracen then took advantage of the Gnolls' infighting, gathered his soldiers and attacked the Red Ridge Mountains in one fell swoop, killing most of the remaining Gnolls. While these hostile creatures will still roam the land in droves, they will never again be able to threaten the Stormwind Kingdom as they once did.

As for King Baracen Ureon, he has since earned the title of "The Rock", and has been celebrated as a hero, and the Kingdom of Stormwind has ushered in a golden age. This victory has since established confidence for the subjects of the Stormwind Kingdom, believing that even without the support of other human kingdoms, all dangers can still be solved in front of them. In the years that followed, the Kingdom of Stormwind would become even more alienated from the other northern kingdoms.

However, what is not known to the outside world is that a major change will take place in the Stormwind Kingdom in a short time, and the fate of Azeroth will be completely changed.
