Soon, the heroes in the council hall have chosen their own story routes to participate in.

This can also be regarded as a benefit for local tyrant players, who can participate in the plot for the first time.

The assassination team was led by the Duke of Lothar himself, leading a team of elite MI7 assassins, a team of Storm Knights, and more than a dozen heroic players to assassinate Medivan.

On the other hand, King Ryan and Varian have also begun to gather an army and prepare for an expedition against the Dark Gate.

The summoning order was soon issued, and the order was sent to every nobleman.

Soon, the Stormwind Kingdom was fully mobilized.

The elite Stormwind Guards, the powerful Stormwind Knights, Kingdom Infantry, Kingdom Crossbowmen, Kingdom Spearmen, and regular armies with the standard configuration of various Alliance factions drove out of the barracks outside Stormwind City with full men, and lined up neatly on the open fields outside the city.

Bands of soldiers lined up in neat formations and headed for the dark swamp.

And in the territories of various nobles, there is also a scene of imminent war.

The Storm Kingdom, like other human kingdoms, is a feudal country, the power of the nobility is very huge, and the army of the entire Storm Kingdom is only about thirty percent in the hands of the king, although the elite but the number is not very large, only about 30,000.

And the nobles' troops can be more, according to the different titles of the nobles, there are hundreds of less, and more can even reach thousands, but although there are a lot of them, the quality is more worrying, the private soldiers of the nobles are knights as the core, supplemented by a large number of conscripted militia, and the combat effectiveness of these militias is not guaranteed.

As armies of nobles continued to join the expeditionary force, it soon grew in size......

The entire army formed a mile-long formation, causing the passing adventurers to look sideways one by one, asking what was going on.

Soon, information about the imminent opening of the Dark Gate flowed wildly among players.

As soon as they heard that the Dark Gate was finally open, the players went crazy.

Whether it's a lord, a soldier, or of course, an adventurer.

All of them are waiting for this big war to come.,Fight robbers on weekdays.,Cutting down jackals.,Although it's also fun.,But after playing for a long time.,I'm used to it.,Naturally, I'm looking forward to a larger-scale war.。

The official had already released the rumors before, but now that the opening time has finally been determined, everyone is suddenly excited.

The streets were filled with hordes of adventurers calling for friends, and the fast-moving ones had already bought supplies and headed for the Dark Gate.

Lord players have gathered their own armies and can't wait to join the army of Stormwind, ready to go into battle to kill the enemy and have a war game.

Soldier players and vassal players are also fully armed and ready to fight this great battle.

There are also some high-end adventurer teams, large guilds, and game studios that directly target those characters with heads and faces.

This battle of the Dark Gate must be a plot event, which means that there must be a plot kill when the time comes, then the plot points and plot equipment must be a lot, and many heroes and adventurers have formed teams of various configurations, ready to make a tribal boss's head cool when the time comes.

At this moment, Arthas was riding alongside Varian, walking at the front of the group.

Arthas (Prince Lordaeron): "Second brother, do you think our army is enough?" Arthas looked at the majestic lineup of the army but asked with a worried face, as the prince of Lordaeron, he had also seen the army of the kingdom of Lordaeron, so he still had some experience in estimating the number of troops.

Although the army in front of him is huge, it is only tens of thousands of people, even if those nobles continue to lead the army to join, it is estimated that it will be about 100,000 at that time.

Facing an army of millions of orcs, it feels very mysterious.

Especially those conscripted militiamen, poorly equipped, look like they don't have much combat effectiveness.

Varian (Prince of the Storm): "Hehe, don't worry about the third brother, there will be an army, you see, isn't that coming." ”

I saw a group of more than 100 adventurers riding horses chasing after them from behind.

The man who saw Varian's lion banner and led it immediately galloped over.

Hawke: "King Wa, more than 100 of our Dragon Century Guild have all arrived, this time we are fighting for you!" ”

Varian (Prince of the Storm): "Thank you for joining the brave adventurers, and let's fight side by side at the Dark Gate." He waved his hand at the knight.

The player, named Hawke, was about to leave when he suddenly saw Arthas next to Varian, and his eyes widened.

(I rub, Arthas?) Why is this kid here too? The player didn't ask too much, and ran to the front with the men.

Soon several more groups of adventurers arrived, some in groups of three or five, some in dozens or hundreds, and they kept crossing the ranks of the army and advancing towards the dark gate, and from time to time they would run over to say hello.

The king of open-mouthed tiles and the king of closed-mouthed tiles let Alsace listen to them twice.

"Second brother, I didn't expect you to be so prestigious among adventurers, they all call you King Wa? What's going on? ”

Varian shook his head, "I don't know very well, when the first time the dark gate was opened, in the face of an army of 100,000 orcs, those adventurers called me that, hehe, I think maybe it's because I was born with a kingly demeanor, of course, it may also be that these adventurers don't know much about the name of the royal family, so they screamed indiscriminately, who knows."

Don't worry too much about Alsace, the real king does not rely on title and blood, but on courage and strength, see more and learn more, and you will become a qualified king in the future. ”

"Well, don't worry, second brother, I will definitely try my best to learn from you and my eldest brother, by the way, where did my eldest brother go? Why didn't you see him. ”

Varian shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I'm going to join the Duke of Lothar's team, don't worry, I don't think he will miss this war." ”

At the same time - the Blackstone Tower.

The pitch-black smoke of the Black Rock Mountains obscured the sky, and the figure of the black dragon hovered and flew in the air.

This is the Blackstone Tower, a powerful fortress of the Black Iron Dwarves, but since a few years ago, the upper floor of the Black Stone Tower has been occupied by a powerful Black Dragon Lord, who and his dragonmen and servant legions have firmly guarded the entrance to the Black Stone Tower in the middle of the mountain, and even captured many Black Iron Dwarves as minions.

At this moment, this black dragon lord was looking at the army of monsters that belonged to him in front of him, frowning.

Like other Black Dragon Lords, Nefarian also has a large number of monster minions under his command, and these chaotic monsters are very good cannon fodder, but unfortunately until now he doesn't know what enemy the Black Dragon King is going to fight this time when he gathers the legions, and how many troops he will bring to the battle, Nefarian is still not sure.

But one thing he was sure of was that he had to speed up, and his father was not a patient leader.

A huge black shadow suddenly passed in the sky, Nefarian looked at the sky in surprise, his expression suddenly became gloomy, and he saw a huge black dragon descending from the sky, larger than him, and slowly landed in front of him.

Transformed into a black-robed man.

Nefarian (King of the Blackstone Tower): "Morpheus, hmph, you're quite fast, is it very good for your character to be so attentive to my father's summons, why, you also heard the order to summon?" ”

Morpheus (Ancient Black Dragon): "That's right, otherwise how would I be here, tsk, you've found yourself a good place, it's much more decent than my dark dragon's lair, and the Black Iron Dwarf is really a good craftsman." ”

Nefarian (King of the Blackstone Tower): "Hmph, what are you doing in the Blackstone Tower?" Father asked us to assemble in the Nightwhispering Forest, and not to tell me that you came to see me. ”

Morpheus (Elder Black Dragon): "Hehe, don't be so nervous, in fact I'm here to talk to you about cooperation, are you interested in doing something big together, Nefaryan." ”

Doing something big? Nefarian suddenly became vigilant, he and Morpheus had never dealt with each other very well, and they were almost about to start before, although because of his father's return, it was impossible for the two to have a head-on confrontation, but this did not mean that peace was restored between the two sides.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm serious, I can see that you're upset with Deathwing, right, that's why I came to you, don't you want to replace him as the King of the Black Dragon? We can work together to deal with him,"

Nefarian suddenly showed a grim expression, "Hmph, do you think I'm stupid? To fool me with such rudimentary words, if I remember correctly, you kept saying that you would wait for his return and lead the Black Dragon Legion.

Why did it suddenly change?

I do hate him, but I'm not a fool, but you, who dare to provoke a relationship between me and my father, are you not afraid......"

"Why, are you still going to denounce me? Please, but honestly, I don't think the end result will be what you want to see, so why don't you listen to my opinion before making a decision? ”

Nefarian snorted, but didn't stop it.

Morpheus smiled slightly: "Deathwing is a madman, you should know this very well, the last time he almost killed you, I think you can feel that he really thought about doing it, who knows what will happen the next time he gets angry, his spirit is getting more and more unstable, one day he will kill you."

Unless we can fix it ahead of time. ”

Nefarian (King of the Black Stone Tower): "Hmph, what are you kidding, my father is invincible, and this is your stupid plan?" I think this is a death sentence at all. ”

Morpheus (Elder Black Dragon): "No, nothing in this world is truly invincible, we all have to face the mercy of fate, and Deathwing is no exception, unless you can see the truth of this world, no one can escape fate."

When the moment of fate comes, you will find that he is not as invulnerable as he seems. ”

Nefalian was slightly moved by Morpheus's profound words, "Oh, is there anything you can do about it?" ”

Morpheus (Elder Black Dragon): "Not yet, but this time he summoned us to show that the enemy he was going to face was extremely powerful, and he couldn't defeat it alone, and this was our chance, I don't mean we had to do something, but at least, I think we can make a deal for the time being, and if the time comes, maybe we can put aside our old suspicions and cooperate."

There is no grudge between us that cannot be let go, I don't know if you have heard a word, there are no eternal friends, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. ”

Nefarian remained unmoved: "And then? Even if we can really defeat him, or even kill him, then who will become the king of the black dragon? The Black Dragon Legion can only have one king. ”

Morpheus (Elder Black Dragon): "Of course it's you, believe it or not, I have no interest in becoming the King of the Black Dragons." ”

Nefarian (King of the Blackstone Tower): "Hmph, do you think I'll believe you so kindly?" Dragons are greedy, you always have to have a plan. ”

Morpheus (Elder Black Dragon): "Yes, Deathwing does have what I want, but it's not the power of the Black Dragon King, I'm not interested in dealing with those things in the Black Dragon Legion, I have more important things to do, and to accomplish this, I must master a special power, which is the authority that Deathwing wields—the power of the Earth Guardian."

Well, let's take out Deathwing together, and when it's done, you'll be the King of the Black Dragons and I'll be the Guardian of the Earth. ”

Nefarian couldn't help but feel stunned in his heart, I see, is this your plan?

Hmph, the power of the guardian of the earth, idiot, do you think I don't know what you are thinking, think that you can go further by obtaining the power of the guardian of the earth, don't be delusional, that power is a curse, and those who obtain the power of the guardian of the earth will definitely be swallowed by that power.

Nefarian knew this all too well, he watched his father go mad, Deathwing had once been a majestic ruler and a powerful dragon king, but the burden of the Earth Guardian had driven him insane.

Nesario used to mention that he would hear strange whispers from the depths of the abyss, an ancient being sealed away from the depths of the earth.

It is impossible to describe the evil in words, as the guardian of the earth, it is the gatekeeper of the evil, and this means that it must be corrupted and infested by the ancient existence.

Although Nesario is determined, even the rocks will gradually crumble under the washing of time, the dragons are a long-lived race, and the lifespan of the guardians of the earth is almost eternal, and in the course of thousands of years, falling into madness is almost a sure result.

But it's okay, a crazy Morpheus and a dead Nesario, and by that time, the Black Dragon Legion will be completely their own.

Nefarian (King of the Blackstone Tower): "Hmph, I'll think about it, but don't expect me to trust you completely. ”

Morpheus (Elder Black Dragon): "That's nature, and maybe that opportunity won't come up at all, so let's see the opportunity, then goodbye Nefarion, see you in the Nightwhispering Forest." ”

With that, Morpheus stretched his wings and flew gracefully and lightly into the sky.
