Chapter 185: The Ancestors of the Stormwind Kingdom
According to Tobiang, when the ancestors of the Kingdom of Stormwind descended south to the territory of the dwarves, they paid many tributes to the dwarven kings. The dwarven king, sensing the "kindness" from the humans, allowed them to travel south through his territory, and also sent an army to escort them.
Later, the humans founded Stormwind in the Elwyn Forest, and have maintained friendly relations with the dwarves to this day.
"Wait, isn't it?"
Michaela said to Tobiang, "According to the literature I have seen about humans in Silvermoon City, the Stormwind Kingdom has always claimed that its ancestors conquered the dwarves with their great charisma when they went south to establish the country, so the latter allowed them to pass through the territory. ”
Tolina also confirmed that when Michaela was the ambassador of Silvermoon City, she used her power to read a lot of literature.
"Hehehe."
Tobiang, who laughed a few times, took another sip of ale and said, "Ambassador Michaela, you elves have been dealing with humans for a long time, don't you know that the best thing for humans is to make history?" ”
"You seem to be talking about that!" Michaela narrowed her eyes at Tobiang.
The latter blew his beard and continued: "We all know that the first regime established by mankind, the Araso Dynasty, had Fort Rapids in the Arathi Highlands as its capital, so the northern part of the eastern continent where it is located has always been the core of human civilization. ”
"So, the question is, why did the ancestors of the Storm Dynasty, who were also human beings, leave the core of human civilization and choose to go south to build a country?"
Michaela followed, "That's because they can't get along in the north!" ”
Tobiang: "That's right! ”
Then the elves and dwarves burst out laughing: "Hahahahaha! ”
The room was filled with a cheerful air.
Since then, Tobion has been making jokes about the Stormwind Kingdom, and it is clear that the dwarves are not as stubborn as they seem, and they also have a good sense of humor, and Michaela also learned a lot of information through Tobiang's teasing of the Stormwind Kingdom.
Since the establishment of the Stormwind Kingdom in the Elwyn Forest, it has developed rapidly due to the lack of strong enemies around, and within a few years it has become one of the two strongest nations of the Seven Kingdoms of Humanity (the other being Lordaeron).
As the national power becomes stronger, the ambition will naturally swell, and the storm royal family itself has the royal blood of the Soladin Dynasty, the first human power, so it occupies a blood advantage among the human kingdoms that pursue a feudal dynasty.
"Think about it, what will the Stormwind Kingdom do with its strong national power and bloodline advantage?" Tobiang took a sip of ale.
Michaela can be regarded as having mixed with officialdom, especially working with the old bureaucrat Humphrey, and has long been aware of this kind of problem, and immediately spoke: "So, the Stormwind Kingdom wants to extend their influence to the human kingdoms in the north?" ”
As soon as the words came out, Michaela immediately realized something: "Oh! No wonder Stormwind Kingdom has such a good relationship with you dwarves! ”
Here, Tolina explains what Michaela is aware of.
If the Stormwind Kingdom wants to go north and influence the northern human countries, then it must pass through the territory of the dwarves, so establishing good relations with the dwarves has become an important diplomatic policy of the Stormwind Kingdom!
"More than that!"
Tobion took a sip of ale and continued, "The human nations of the north are not stupid, they know what the Stormwind Kingdom wants to do, so ......"
Michaela continued: "So the northern kingdoms of the human race have also begun to have good relations with you, hoping that you dwarves will block the Storm Kingdom in the south and not let them go north." ”
At the end, Michaela concluded: "You dwarves are really powerful, and you eat at both ends!" ”
Tobiang said: "So we're members of the alliance." ”
"Cheers!"
Dwarves are bold, but not unkind, and dwarves are stubborn, but not inflexible, and Tobiang allows Michaela to really understand the dwarven race, rather than relying on one-sided perceptions of stereotypes.
In the evening, Tobion said goodbye to Michaela and returned to his room, while Michaela lay alone on a mechanical bed made by a dwarf, and watched the gears of the ceiling turn, and said:
"Tobiang is such an interesting dwarf, I don't know if I'll ever see him again."
However, Tolina said: "Michaela, you are now a tribe, and Tobiang is an alliance as a dwarf, are you sure you want to meet in this situation?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Michaela fell silent.
The Horde and the Alliance are hostile to each other and rarely communicate with each other in normal times, so if there is still a chance to meet Tobiang, it may be on the battlefield!
"Alas......"
Michaela sighed and muttered to herself, "Why does the world always like binary opposition? Why can't we live in peace? ”
At this point, Michaela closed her eyes and prepared to rest, but on the other side of Azeroth, on the continent of Karimdor, Michaela's sister Malenia was following the team led by Glade Steelaxe to the door of the Razormarsh.
Razor Swamp was once the domain of the Minotaurs, but it was later taken away by the Boar People, and since then the area has been covered with thorns, and the Boar People have made this area their own.
"Whew! There are enemies! ”
The Thornmane Guards guarding the gates of Razor Swamp spotted them first, raised their spears, and rushed towards Glade's group.
Chuck, the troll, drew his bow and shot arrows, and said to Glade, "Glade, we said we should sneak in. ”
Even the orc who pulled out the dagger, Jikaz-Blade, said, "I'm sorry, Glade, but this time I think Chuck is right, there are too few of us in a head-on conflict. ”
Glade did not answer, because it was discovered that it was a fact, and there was only fighting!
Mugram, the blood knight, was like a licking dog as always, raised his shield in front of little Fiya, and said, "I will protect you!" ”
Fiya rarely replied, and raised the staff in her right hand to cast the spell "True Word-Shield", causing a translucent shield on Glade's body, who also raised his tomahawk and rushed towards the nearest Boar Man's Thornmane Guard.
"Fortunately, there are not many guards at the door, only ten!"
Catherine the Forsaken turns on her Shadow Form and casts a "Psychic Blast" on one of the Thornmane Guards, blowing off the latter's head and killing one first.
Glade also slashed the Thornmane Guard in front of him and killed another one.
Good start.
During this time, Malenia found that Glade's squad was very elite, and even when besieged by the boar people, they could stabilize their formation and never mess up.
In particular, Glade-Steelaxe, a warrior from Kukaron, is not only extremely combative, but also has the temperament of a leader, and even the arrogant blood elves will be willing to obey his command (of course, little Fiya is still unforgiving).
For example, in this encounter, Glade stepped forward to block the Thornmane Guards, so that the latter could not touch the back of his house at the first time, so that the Hunter Chuck and the Dark Shepherd Catherine could attack freely, and the priest Feya could continue to support the team with healing spells in a safe position.
As for Kikaz-Blade, she, as a stalker, has vanished without a trace. Of course, the orcs weren't going to run away, and Malenia sensed that she had slipped behind the guards.
Is it a sneak guard?
No!
That's not what Kikaz Blade was aiming for.
"Oh!"
Malenia understood that the orcs were dealing with the boar people who had reported the news.
Boar people are inferior to blood elves and have a limited understanding of arcane powers, so they have no magical communication and can only rely on more primitive oral and written communication methods, so killing the boar people who report the message can effectively delay the time when the Razor Swamp knows about the invasion of foreign enemies.
"Roar!"
Glade's battle cry brought Malenia's thoughts back to reality, just in time to see the last Thornmane guard at the gate being beheaded by Glade.
The battle is over?
So fast!
Maleia looked at Glade who was wiping the tomahawk, and the judgment in her heart became more and more certain, his strength was definitely not under Michaela!
Feeling Maleia's gaze, Glade turned to look at the elf, "Malenia, what's wrong?" ”
Malenia said honestly, "Glade, you're very good. ”
"Hmm!"
Glade's brows moved slightly, he didn't expect Malenia to say such a thing to himself, so Glade chuckled and didn't speak.
"Glade, I'm back."
At this moment, the orc Kikaz-Blade appeared in front of Glade, dropped two boar heads, and said:
"I dealt with the boar man who ventilated the message...... Well? ”
With a woman's intuition, Kikaz-Blade noticed Maleia's gaze and glanced at her.
Naturally, Marlenia felt the other man's gaze, she nodded, and then tilted her gaze to the side.
Why is that elf watching Glade?
"Well done Jikaz!"
Glade's voice reached the orc's ears: "At least the boar people in the Razor Swamp won't spot us so quickly." ”
Kikaz's attention returned to reality at this point, but she responded with a few "uh-huh, uh-huh" sounds, but what she was thinking in her heart was, "Marlenia is an elf, so there shouldn't be that kind of situation!" Yes, she just appreciates Glade's power, that's all. And I should prove myself to Glade in the next adventure! ”
That's right, Kikaz Blade likes Glade Steelaxe, and the latter is aware of the former's feelings, but Glad hasn't accepted Kikaz yet.
After all, feelings are such a thing, and both parties must accept it, and if there is only one party, it is called unrequited love.
Kikaz Blade knows this, so she's always looking for ways to prove herself and win Glade's affection with dignity.
And the opportunity is right in front of you.
As long as you help Glade find his younger brother Graca-Stoneaxe in the adventure of Razorbog, I believe that Glade will be able to accept me!
Thinking of this, Jikaz - Blade was full of energy.
It was also at this time that Glade issued an order: "Before the other party has discovered us, rush in, find Graca, and then kill it." ”
Everyone shouted in unison: "Good! ”
Rangoose, no one thought that in a wooden shanty in the deepest part of the Razor Swamp, a boarman spellcaster wearing chain mail had already seen Glade and his party through some kind of spell!
"Hey, hey, another orc is coming to us as a sacrifice."
"Dominate Ramtas, lead our troops to take them out, and then sacrifice them to our new allies."
"Yes, Elder Calga-Thorn Rib!"
