Azeroth’s Death Track

What is there in Darkforge City?

Ten years ago, the answer to this question was simple, there were only a bunch of crazy dwarven destroyers who worshiped fire.

Now, the answer to this question is more complicated.

There are more than a dozen forging companies in the current Darkforge City, which were established by the original slave owners to serve the terrible military needs of the Dark Blade Legion. The orders of each company have been scheduled for 3 years, and all the still working ones The Dark Iron dwarves were tricked into the factory by all kinds of sweet words.

The slave owners will not reject the banknotes thrown by the undead, money has no borders, and the entire Shadowforge City is now like a giant factory, with the sound of forging hammers everywhere, and complete sets of armor and weapons are being loaded. In a simple pulley structure car, send it to the ground in exchange for a large sum of money.

What do dwarves want money for?

The answer to this question is complex, but it boils down to a greed for luxury and treasure that runs deep within all dwarves, even the wildest of Wildhammers.

Of course, after the commercial networks of the Defias Federal District and the Black Iron District have been connected little by little, various enjoyments from the human world, especially those fine wines and exquisitely packaged cigars that the dwarves have never seen before, are also further developed. Drain money from their pockets.

Regarding how to manage the brutal Dark Iron dwarves, Tyrion has not communicated with the Governor of the Dark Iron District, Myra, and after the first two months of exhausting, Myra also learned some things without a teacher. Something, he began to divide the group of Dark Iron Dwarves, and took Luminas to sleep very hard, and handed over all the armaments and materials of the Hellfire Chapter to the Dark Iron Dwarves to provide.

This was just the beginning. When the Thorium Brotherhood Forging Company made a fortune and held a grand banquet in the Black Iron Bar to celebrate, the Dark Iron dwarves began to contact him.

Now, all the armaments and materials of the 13 warbands in Azeroth have been handed over to the commercial companies in the Dark Iron District. Stimulated by huge profits, any Black Iron dwarves with brains have no time to discuss how to deal with them. The rule of the Thorium Brotherhood has been overthrown. In a golden age where you can make money as long as you are willing to do it, no matter how stubborn you are, it doesn't make sense to be against cute gold coins, right?

And gold coins are useless to the undead, so they are also extremely generous. All in all, this transaction makes both parties very satisfied.

And now, in this crazy business feast, new players have joined, and they will also get their own share from this feast.

Hey, look at all the antiques you're using. These are designs from 30 years ago.

A goblin in a black dress, with a monocle and mohawk hair, made no secret of his disdain. Standing in the workshop of the Thorium Brotherhood Forge Company, he wiped his sweat with a handkerchief while talking to the people around him. Dark Iron Dwarf said:

Heisos Technology Company has a latest rail transport system, which can transport 5 times more materials at a time than it is now, which means that your production efficiency will be greatly improved. Most importantly, that system is currently discounted. It It's cheap, and my staff can install it for free.

As he spoke, the goblin handed a simple product folder to the owner of the black iron dwarf, who was wearing gold and silver and was full of nouveau riche temperament. The boss was obviously a little dissatisfied. He turned over the folder in his hand and looked at it, then shook his head at the goblin who was rubbing his hands:

No, we don't need this delivery system.

Boss Black Iron sat proudly on his rotatable leather chair, picked up a hardcover cigar, lit it with an exquisite lighter sold in the Defias Alliance area, and smoked in a very elegant manner, There was a sly gleam in his blood-red eyes.

Because we have better options.

Well?

The goblin with the monocle showed a skeptical expression. He patted his product folder and said to the potbellied black iron boss:

No, with all due respect, in the entire Eastern Continent, you will never find a better choice than Heisuo Technology's products! Well, since our first business relationship, in order to represent my sincerity, I can Giving your company 30% free parts replacement for the first year is great value!

Well, that sounds good.

Boss Heitie snapped his fingers, and the attendant immediately handed him a glass of mellow Millie Manor wine. He took a sip of the wine in satisfaction, and then said to the goblin who was waiting eagerly:

But I still refuse. Yesterday, a dwarf came to sell me the same product. It's called Overspark Technology Laboratory. It seems to be the name. The product he gave me is one-third cheaper than your product One, productivity as well, and you know what's best?

There was a glimmer of pride in the eyes of the black iron dwarf:

He gave me 5 years of free repairs, sorry goblin friend, but I already signed a deal with him, you are late, but maybe you can check out the company next door, Lieutenant Hall's Excavation Company maybe Need a product like yours too... that upstart is a complete taker, you know that?

The boss of the Thorium Brotherhood Forging Company snorted coldly, and threw the cigar end in his hand at the goblin's feet:

I am not! You want me to pay? No problem, show your sincerity, little merchant, this is not your chaotic Booty Bay, the Black Iron District Business Association is watching you, don't play any tricks.

A few minutes later, the extremely corrupt goblin Hesuo came out of the office of the forging company cursing. Several attendants were waiting for his boss outside the door. There was also a tall monster, which was very similar to an ogre. But more gentle than ogres, many goblins will choose a giant monster as their bodyguard and means of transportation.

Heisuo sat angrily on the shoulder of the troll, and complained to the secretary beside him:

This is already the third lost business this month, damn it! Where did that overspark tech lab come from? 5 years of restoration service? Damn! How much money do they make? They don't Is it costly?

Boss, do I know who they are?

It was a coquettish goblin lady in a floral dress, Nasha Mars, an excellent accountant, and a sharpshooter with fierce shots. While smoking a cigar, she said to her boss:

It's a group of dwarves, and as far as I know, they live on the third floor below the Darkforge City. It is said that the Dark Blade Legion invited them to carry out some technological development, and they also received a batch of research funds, which is why The reason why they can keep the price so low... There is no doubt that these bastards are grabbing the market, they want to drive us out of the business circle of Darkforge City, and then monopolize the business here.

Oh, Nasha, you summed it up very well.

Heisuo, the goblin engineer sitting on the giant monster's shoulder, gritted his teeth, and a hint of viciousness flashed through his narrowed eyes:

Darkforge is the first treasure land our company found, there is a lot of money to be made here, and I don't want to give them my gold coins, not even one! You help me go to Booty Bay and hire some friends , maybe, letting that damned, greedy dwarf have an accident is a very good choice.

No, boss, Darkforge City is not the Booty Coast, private fights are not allowed here.

Secretary Nasha shook her head, and said to her boss regretfully:

Here, we have to do things according to the model of businessmen, but this is also a good thing. Do you remember the bomb assassination planned by the venture capital company in Gadgetzan a year ago? Here, we don't need to worry about such things .”

But our funds are at a disadvantage, Nasha, and we can't compete with those shameless gnomes.

Engineer Heisuo said with a bitter face:

Are we really going to give up this geomantic treasure to the dwarves? The Black Iron District is just the beginning, and there is also the Defias Federal District, where the commercial market is almost blank. Do we really want to give up?

No, Boss, I mean, let them have these petty profits.

Nasha, the coquettish goblin secretary, reached out and brushed her long golden wavy hair. She looked around, lowered her voice, and said to her boss:

I got a message, Boss, this afternoon, in the City Hall of Darkforge City, there was a weapon bidding meeting hosted by the Darkblade Consortium. The Darkblade Legion needs the most outstanding engineers to develop some war weapons for them. I learned from some friends I heard the news there, the initial funding for that project...

Nasha looked at Heisuo's bright eyes, stretched out three hands and waved, Heisuo couldn't help but scratched his chin:

300,000? Well, it seems worth going to see it.

No, fool!

Nasha screamed:

3 million! It's 3 million, do you understand? The undead paid a lot of money, 3 million, how many machines do you have to sell to earn back?

37343 units!

Heisuo's excellent calculation power quickly came to this conclusion, but the next moment, he clenched his fists:

To hell with petty profits, that project must belong to Hesso Technologies! Wait, if there are gnomes involved, this is still a battle of ideas between glorious goblin engineering and nasty kid's toy gnome engineering.. .I have a good idea, Nasha, immediately contact the goblin tinkerers in Briartooth City, and my good friend Gazlowe, I need their wisdom to justify the name of goblin engineering!

Glorious goblin engineering is the future of this world. While we are making money, we must also beat the dirty dwarves to pieces!

At the same time, on the other side, Overspark, who was leading the great artisan and the entire artisan council to visit the laboratory he had just established, looked gloomy. He had just heard the bad news from his subordinates who hurried over. There's a new opponent in his bidding, and it's the goblin he hates the most.

Sorry, everyone.

The always timid Overspark looked like a real warrior at this moment, straightening the collar of his clothes indifferently, and then said to Mekkatorque and the congressmen behind him:

I have an urgent matter to deal with. A group of despicable goblins are planning to steal our money from me. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that goblin engineering who only understands bombs and explosions, first This is the first official challenge to perfect dwarf engineering, and I must fight! Destroy those thugs who only know how to play bombs!

Hey, Overspark, you promised us to show us that plan today!

Councilor Morse folded his arms in dissatisfaction, and shouted at the white-haired dwarf:

Don't forget, this is a matter of the survival of the dwarf race!

But I have to deal with big things!

Overspark gritted his teeth and retorted:

Three million gold coins! Brothers, that money can be used to rebuild Gnomeregan, and even renew our city's groundwater circulation system. It is completely enough. This money is a lifesaver for the people. I can't put it Just give it up to Heisuo, that damn goblin! In the last two days, he has already snatched 7 orders from me!

Hesso?

Mekkatorque scratched his scalp, which had become slick from being too clever, stroked his chin, and a moment later he said to Overspark:

I've heard the name of Blackfuse, that new generation of goblin engineering geniuses, he's just brilliant in explosives and war machines, I've read all his papers, and IMHO, Overspark , if you are the only one, you may not be his opponent.

What do you mean? My friend Mekkatorque.

Overspark said dissatisfiedly:

Are you criticizing my engineering skills? I'm not afraid of Blackfuse!

No, I mean...

The great craftsman casually picked up a silver-white wrench and waved it in his hand: The confrontation of wisdom is not judged by the number of people. You also said that this is a dispute between dwarf engineering and goblin engineering. Although I I have a very disgusting mentality towards the undead, but I will not allow dwarf engineering to fail, that is my belief!

Let's go!

The great artisan turned and walked towards the exit of the laboratory, he said loudly:

Let's teach that ignorant bastard who only knows how to play with bombs and gunpowder! Let him get out of this city with shame...Gnome engineering, that is the real future of technology!

certainly!

Overspark exclaimed excitedly:

With you here, Mekkatorque, we will definitely be able to beat Heisel to the ground. Most importantly, we will win the 3 million! Then save our city!

—————————————————————————————

To be honest, I don't understand why His Majesty entrusts the design of this weapon to other people.

The leader of the Dark Blade Consortium, Buddy Moore, the goblin, combed his hair in the mirror, and complained to the governor of the Black Iron District next to him:

That's 3 million gold coins! Booty Bay's profits for three years, we should keep this money for ourselves instead of giving it to others.

Myra Dawnblade, who was tasting the latest brewed dragon's blood wine, sneered when he heard this complaint:

Buddy, not everything is a business. It's a good deal to spend 3 million to win a group of scientists with full of fighting spirit. The gnomes need to join the new system as quickly as possible. Believe me, this is the most perfect Opportunity.

Give them food and clothing, give them dignity, give them freedom, and finally...

Myra shook the wine glass in front of her eyes, and the dark red liquid reflected an evil light: Finally, let them realize the meaning of self-existence, look, this place is simply heaven.
