Kobolds have the ability to cast spells, and everyone in the world knows it.

Born out of kobolds, the Argonian has his casting talent further strengthened and has become a very special engineer warlock.

Warlocks' skills are mostly acquired by digging deep into the bloodline, and in game terms, spells are 'enlightened', not 'developed'.

What the warlock has to do is to continue to use the spell, and in addition to being proficient, he also improves his ability and further awakens the power and knowledge in the bloodline.

Under the effect of Kane's opening, the Wurmians have taken a relatively large step in this regard, and the relatively low-end of engineering spells has allowed them to avoid the bad situation of pulling eggs.

Now, in the process of renovating Shadow Fang Castle, the abilities of these nearly 10,000 Argonians have been revealed.

Shadowfang Castle is a rock-based castle made up of 65% wood, with the remaining 35% made of wood.

Under the engineering magic of the Argonians, the properties of these rocks were altered and fused, as well as the size specification.

The castle was built with standardized new materials, and the rough architectural style of the castle in the Middle World was gone, and was replaced by a forest barrier of precise order.

The gap between the new materials must be very close, and you can only see the looming line if you stare carefully, and if you are a little farther away, you will feel that the whole wall is integrated.

Shadow Fang Castle is a dangerous terrain, with a steep stone mountain in the north, the door opening to the east, and the burning wood village at the foot of the mountain in the south.

After the reconstruction, there are more giant rock sentry posts on the mountain on the back, and from above, you can overlook the sea hundreds of miles away, and the surrounding area of the castle can be seen in full view.

The village of Burning Wood was also reorganized, planned and renamed Pine Grove Town, and a church and cemetery were established on the west side of the town near the sea, and the tombs of Baron Baron Schevaline and others were erected, and the dead in the castle and the village of Burning Wood were laid to rest.

Springval, the former military commander of the castle and a relative of Baron Sivaren, acquired the Dark Bodies and became a member of the Knights of the Darkblades, where he continued to lead the castle's armed forces.

Springval was once a Paladin of the Silver Hand who defended the castle by breaking the rules, so even after his death, he was unable to return to Valhalla, the Chapel of Light's Wish.

To this former paladin with good ability, but somewhat tenacious, Kane adopted a certain degree of deception strategy.

Fooled by his success, Springval thought that the power he was wielding was a variant of the power of the Light. And he was convinced that, after all, there was the patron of Saint Garrin Tolbain, who claimed to 'walk the world on behalf of the Light'.

In the afternoon of the next day, the teleportation circle was repaired, and Antonidas personally led the group over to have an exchange with Kane about the Scourge invasion.

Antonidas was surprised by the tragedy that had occurred in Burning Wood Village and Shadowfang Castle, and said that Dalaran was willing to contribute to the spread of the werewolf curse.

In addition, the elderly archmage visited the castle and the renovation site of Burning Wood, and praised the practical effects of the technology-infused engineering magic used by the wurmists.

As for Kane's development of the Argonians, Antonidas didn't say much. In fact, mages are also accustomed to capturing creatures from other planes and enslaving them.

Kane said that the confrontation with the Scourge Legion may not be able to have a result for a while.

In this context, the Falken Volunteer Army, which had come from afar and was more logistical (mainly heavy weapons), needed a suitable foothold.

As for Shadowfang Castle and Burning Wood Village, Kane felt it was a good fit.

Rather than let this dangerous place be coveted by ill-intentioned people, it is better to be in the hands of the volunteers.

Kane also said that he was going to build a small harbor under the cliff to the west of the castle, relying on the castle, which was already dangerous and protected by heavy artillery.

This port can not only supply the ships of Kurtirath and Stormwind further south, but also serve as a base from which to explore the waters of the North Sea.

In addition, this is equivalent to guarding the gateway for Gilneis, and it is also very helpful to stabilize the security of the southern area of the Silver Pine Forest.

He also welcomed Venerable Dalaran to establish a base here and participate in various projects. After all, this fight against the Scourge Legion is an alliance operation, not an exclusive operation.

Regarding the practice of the Falken Volunteer Army to take it for itself without asking and making it clear that he did not intend to leave after taking possession, the scheming Antonidas did not happily agree. He feared that this would lead Dalaran into a territorial dispute.

Dwarves and gnomes, on the other hand, were much more cheerful, they got the news later and traveled farther, so when the combined forces of the two sides arrived, it was already six days after taking the castle.

Their troops were coming by land, but the military supplies were half a beat slower and received the latest news from Kane, so they chose to take the sea route.

As a result, it was the flotilla that arrived first.

Shadowfang Harbor was eventually established between the castle and Burnt Wood, with the deepwater docks on the cliff to the west of the castle. This side near Burning Wood Town is dominated by boats that are close to the sea.

When the port was being built, the port of Arashi Fadir sent two ironclad ships, which were anchored at sea to act as a barrier against threats from the sea until the dock was fully built.

The addition of dwarves and gnomes gave the volunteers the demeanor of a coalition army.

In particular, both races are good at crafting, with dwarven steam tanks and stone golems, and gnomes full of whimsical equipment.

When they showed their talents, the whole camp suddenly became popular and lively.

At the same time, the Scourge fleet, still floating on the sea, received an urgent message from Arugao.

The Lich King had spread special waves of energy in search of intelligent beings who could practice his undead techniques and were willing to commit to his realm.

Kel'thugad is only representative of the human race, and there are also other races, but in comparison, there is no famous existence in history, but they are all cannon fodder.

Arugao only came into contact with the Lich King's special energy wave slightly later than Kel'thugad, and more importantly, he was relatively poor financially, and his material conditions did not allow him to risk his family for an unknown possibility.

However, after being expelled from Dara, Arugao still hooked up with the Lich King, because there were some contents in the Book of your, which Arugao himself could not parse.

In the past, he had the Great Library of Dalaran to find a way to crack it, but now he had to rely on 'professionals' like the Lich King.

The two of them just hooked up together, and they smelled the same, probably like this.

The one who received the urgent message from Arugao was the Gudak troll Vakan of the Sarein clan.

This is obviously different from the original historical line, where the original first Salein was the mother of vampires, or the queen of blood, Lannasser.

Lannasser, along with several Blood Princes, such as Keceres, Varana, and Tadaram, were once elves of Quel'Thalas.

After the Elven Kingdom was overturned by the Scourge Legion, Prince Kael'thas changed his name to Sindore, or Blood Elf, and vowed to take revenge on the Scourge.

Lannaser and the others were sent by the prince to the continent of Northrend to defeat the blood elves of the Scourge Legion, and unfortunately died in battle, and then were resurrected by the Lich King as Salein.

Blood, Frost, and Filth are the systems that the Lich King has created on the basis of the power of the Void, Evil Power, and Death.

Sarein is a bloodline.

Perhaps it was the overall strength of the alliance in the Eastern Continent that made the Lich King feel the pressure.

Salein was taken out of his liver in advance.

When it came to selecting the base embryos of the species, there was no High Elf, and the Lich King chose the ancient race of trolls.

Until now, Goodak has retained the remnants of the troll's glory days, not much inferior to Zandalara's. Perhaps, this is what makes the Lich King look high.

Wakan was the commander of the Southern Expedition, with two Dreadlords as overseers.

They are Henus and Elek, both of whom are unknown characters in the original historical line, and Nasrezm is a species, naturally huge in number, and these two are following the Big Three and mixed in with the Scourge Army.

After receiving the urgent letter, Wakan understood Kane's intentions.

He said to the two Dreaddemon Kings, "Obviously, this is an invitation to fight. ”

Henus said in a deep and hollow voice, with a bit of contempt, "Commander Wakan, where do you see that this is an invitation to war. ”

The muscles on Wakan's face twitched a few times, but he patiently explained: "This army passed through the Hillsbrad Hills unnoticed, showing its ability to march in a concealed and rapid manner, while in the Silver Pine Forest, it was a bright appearance. The meaning is self-evident, either come and fight me in the Silver Pine Forest, or beware of the surprise attack of my covert march. ”

The two Dreadlord thought for a moment, and felt that what Vakan said still made sense.

The Barov family used to own a lot of real estate in the Hillsbrad Hills, and they have been operating it for many years, so they naturally have their connections.

The kingdom of Falken swallowed up part of the hilly area, and the rest was self-governing by the natives, with the Barov family in sight.

Even the Kingdom of Falken has it, but a series of measures in the country are very sharp, and a group of old men and women also use their residual heat to keep an eye on those idle people and new faces, which makes it very difficult to carry out intelligence work.

But even so, with an army of more than 10,000 people marching and a large number of material convoys, it is almost impossible to go unnoticed.

However, there was no urgent message from the other side of the hills, but it was Arugao of the Silver Pine Forest who sent a letter, which really allowed this army to show off its ability.

Dreadlord Elek spoke: "This is the rhythm of the enemy, I don't mind following up, we have to take the initiative, we bring the enemy into our rhythm." ”

"What are the proposals?Whisper Coast landing, all the way east, to join us in the Valley of Fear in the Talon region and on the island of Keldaron?" asked Alek.

"No, we're too passive, the troops will have to cross almost the entire Tirisfal glades, and we'll have to cross half of the Talon region, and on the way, Brill, and even the humans of Hearthvale, will be able to strike us hard. And we have no provisions, so we can only rely on what we carry with the ship, and the consumption is too great. ”

Henus stared at the map and thought, "Maybe we can land from here." Then attack here. As he spoke, it dotted on the map.

When Wakan and Elek looked at it, it turned out that the landing site chosen by Henus was the North Sea barren beach north of the Cheshui Lake.

It's a beach, and you have to rely on small boats to land, and big boats can't get to it.

This means that it will be much more difficult to transport a lot of equipment on board to the shore.

In addition, directly south of that area is the royal city of Lordaeron, which has no danger to defend, but it is also very suitable for large armies, especially cavalry battles.

There is also the problem, if it lands from the Whispering Coast, then the location of the Agamander Mill to the east of it is a natural stronghold, and the Agamande family is ready to 'welcome the king'.

To the east of the North Sea Desert are the Holy Light Outpost and the Holy Light Monastery (later the Scarlet Monastery), which will inevitably be discovered if the fleet of the Scourge approaches.

Then, before gaining a foothold, the Royal Cavalry Regiment of Lordaeron, as well as the men of the Silver Hand, attacked them on the beachhead.

"Is it appropriate here?" said Elec frowned

Wakan thought more and understood Henus's intentions, "You mean, it's all hard bones, and we're willing to have a silver hand?"

Henus nodded: "Yes, I have the confidence to torture those paladins and make them fall, our white bone cannon fodder, if we can exchange it for a group of death knights, it will also be appropriate." ”

Henus added: "Also, don't forget, the Holy Light Monastery has a long history, and it is also an important stronghold of the Church of Light, and there is an ...... of the Valhalla."

As soon as Henus said this, Vakan and Elek immediately thought of gaining power through desecration, as well as looting more noble souls, torturing them to fall, and becoming the leaders of the Scourge Legion.

"It seems...... It's a good choice. Vakan said, looking at Elek.

Alec touched his chin and nodded: "But I suggest that we still test the volunteer army of Prince Torbain, maybe it is a paper tiger?" You know, our ultimate goal is the Book of Medivan, and now doing this will inevitably make Dalaran prepared, and he has already lost strategically, if he can directly attack Dalaran, even if it is a strong attack, he should choose there, even if he kills this army, even if he does not hesitate to destroy this army. ”
