Azeroth’s Death Track

Everything that happened in Northrend has not yet entered the field of vision of the civilized world, not to mention the ongoing westward war in central Kalimdor, even in the relatively peaceful eastern continent, extending the ruled area to more than half of the The federal civilization of the mainland, in the process of slow recovery of internal civilization and population annexation, did not have much time to pay attention to this wild land.

But the indifference between the two sides is destined to be only temporary. After the human empire has gained a firm foothold in Kalimdor, they will definitely set their sights on more distant continents, at least before they control the sea power of the endless sea. The Northrend continent will become a new area of ​​contact between the two civilizations.

This is inevitable. With the determination of the confrontation between the two camps, the threat of each other will make the two sides actively start to explore new ignorant lands. In the eyes of Tyrion and those people of insight, the world of Azeroth The era of great geographical discovery will soon come, and the copperbeard dwarves and draenei who migrate here on the Borean tundra in the southwest corner of the Northrend continent will surely become human empires in Northrend. eyes.

Although this frost-covered continent is brutal and barren, some of the resources it produces are very much needed by both sides, and there are some not-so-powerful but not-weak people around those wild lands. Civilization, those are the forces that both sides can win over.

In short, after the Northern Xinjiang War, the next big war between the living and the dead may break out here.

At this moment, while the howling north wind blew away, the Cold Wind Commando stationed in the Howling Fjord, this Northern Frontier Vanguard Legion belonging to the Dark Blade Legion, in the col camp where they were stationed, a Vrykul The cemetery of the ancestors is being excavated, and the necromancers spent a lot of money to drive away the dragon-scavenging Vrykul tribe living here, but those flesh-and-blood half giants will not let them go so easily. Ancestral mausoleum.

The battle between the two sides has only just begun, and the Vrykul people are planning a big counterattack.

Teams of death knights who went out on patrol rode behind the undead flying dragons, roaring into the tree-lined bay under the cliff, using alchemy bombs to drive away the dragon scouts, or fighting with those riding on the back of the proto-dragon. The flying dragon knights launched a fierce battle in the air. From a distance, the Vrykul villages engulfed by flames emitted black smoke between the bays, adding a touch of war to this frigid bay full of forests and grasslands. color.

The Plundering Dragon clan is the most powerful Vrykul tribe in the local area. They have nearly 40,000 brave warriors and even more old and weak women and children.

Beside Tyrion, Danath Trollbane, wearing the captain's armor, was introducing the local battle situation to the high lord. His finger pointed to the valley in the middle of the Howling Bay. In the freezing fog that filled the air in the early morning, You can faintly see the place where the water flows from all directions, and in the middle of the lower valley, there is a looming white giant tower and artificial dams spreading around, which looks like a city.

There is Utgarde Castle, which is said to be a city built by the ancient Vrykul. It is now occupied by the Dragon Raider Clan, but according to our investigation, the Dragon Raider Clan's foundation is not clean. The other vrykul tribes of the world became their slaves, and worst of all, we found traces of undead magic in the great castle and some of the villages.

Danas, who was demoted to commando captain, took out a gray-white bone ring from the cloth bag at his waist, and handed it to Tyrion. The latter looked at it in his hand, and he said softly:

This is not our psychic magic, but more like the undead under the command of the Lich King.

That's right! Great Lord.

Danas nodded, he said with a worried expression:

Obviously, after the Lich King conquered the most powerful Jotunheim tribe in Northrend, he was not satisfied, but continued to extend his tentacles to the Vrykul tribe in Howling Bay. One year later, I am afraid that all the Vrykul who are good at fighting on this land will be brought under the command of the Scourge undead.

The Dragon Slayer Clan is the minion of the Lich King. According to the news we got from the captives, the Lich King helped them resurrect the king of the Vrykul in the ancient tomb, a tyrant named Ymiron, and now, the tyrant Just take your own bodyguards and stay in Utgarde Castle, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we want to liberate the enslaved Vrykul civilization here, we must kill the resurrected tyrant and destroy his power here. Death reigns.

Well, since we already have a strategic goal, let's implement it.

Tyrion put the gray-white bone finger in his hand, and the death energy left by the psychic spell that was completely different from the dark blade was rapidly dissipating. After a few seconds, the gray-white bone finger melted into a ball Dissipated ashes.

He patted the remaining ashes in his hand, looked back at Danas, and said in a deep voice:

Does the Cold Wind Commando need support from the headquarters?

unnecessary!

Danas shook his head, his blue eyes were full of stubbornness:

We alone are enough. After the first batch of vrykul necromancers who are willing to join us join the establishment, the ground power of the dragon clan will not be worth mentioning. Our mount trainers are trying to tame the local fierce As for the huge number of proto-dragons, the advance team also unearthed some usable bone dragon remains at the edge of the dragon bone wilderness.

Our strength is enough to face the war here. It will take about 1-2 years. My warriors and I will seize this rich land for Dark Blade! Drive the power of the Lich King out from here completely!

very good!

Tyrion nodded in satisfaction:

When you liberate the entire Howling Bay, when these vrykul join the new civilization, Danath, you will regain the glory and status you deserve. You will be the governor of this place, and I. ..I will wait for your good news.

Howling Bay will become Dark Blade's base camp in Northrend. When your strategy is completed, the northern border strategy based on this place will really start. The secrets buried in this land are more important than you imagined. , In addition, while expelling the dragon vrykul, I hope you will not relax your monitoring of Northrend, especially the Storm Peaks and those restless copperbeard dwarves.

Lord Darkblade looked towards the western sky, and said softly:

Those dwarves who are full of the will to revenge may not know what kind of terrifying things they will unearth under this land, so we must prepare in advance.

The new equipment developed by the Black Iron District will be sent here within the next two months... Make good use of them, Danas.

———————————————————

In the distant port of Stormwind City, a huge black fleet is slowly docking.

The emblems of the Defias Federation are engraved on the sides of those tall black battleships. These ships are not entirely wooden, and have some parts made of steel on the hull. This is a new type of battleship developed by the shipyard in Stranglethorn Valley. It is said that Stronger than the wooden hulls of the past.

And on the decks of these docked warships, the auditors wearing the uniforms of federal officials are holding counters, and under the protection of the death guards, they are consulting with the former pirates employed by the federation, beside them , Teams of cargo whose hands were tied with ropes were being driven out of the cabin.

Those are the humans living on the islands in the chaotic South China Sea. As human resources urgently needed by the Federal District, they were plundered from their hometown by the former pirates of the Black Ark fleet. They will live in a large purification camp near the Golden Town. In June, after completing the initial education, he was assigned to the seven current ruling regions of the Federation.

This trade model is very similar to the slave trade in another world. Although the Federation does not purchase these goods to implement backward slavery, at least in this link of plundering the population, the evil and suffering contained in it are not No less than the slave trade.

But this is something that can’t be helped... Civilization cannot develop without the support of the population. Although the population transported from northern Xinjiang has greatly alleviated the current situation of manpower distress within the Federation, for the Supreme Council, such a population Things can never be too much. Instead of letting these natives of the South China Sea spend their lives in ignorance and ignorance, it is better to let them change their environment and contribute their own strength to the development of federal civilization.

This is the meaning of the existence of the Federation's Black Ark fleet. They are engaged in evil human trafficking, but they are contributing to the development of their own civilization.

It's so boring, Dad ran outside to play again, and didn't take us with him.

Dornan, 12 years old this year, was lying on the bricks of the Stormwind City dock, looking bored at the black warships that were unloading in the port, beside her were her good friends Vanessa and Taelia, and three The girl's little follower, their common little brother Anduin Wrynn.

Sister! Look there! Look! There's an elephant on the boat! My God, it has such long teeth!

Compared to the bored girls, the little boy Anduin looked very happy. Holding a small telescope in his hand, he stood on the heights of the pier, yelling at the strange creatures brought down from the Black Ark fleet, Those are some beasts and ornamental creatures that are very rare in the Eastern Continent.

My dad and the councilors are going to build a zoo in Stormwind City as a pastime for the citizens. Dad said that in the next stage, we will build a lot of public welfare buildings to make people's lives more fulfilling. In short, those That's why the elephants were sent here, and occasionally they sent back some beautiful parrots, which the pirates caught and sold.

The big girl Vanessa straightened her beautiful skirt, reached out to help Anduin straighten her hair, and then said to the boy:

Be good, don't make noise, and after dinner, my sister will take you to the zoo. Speaking of which, if you can call Sarantia who is bored in the room to play with us, I will Considering buying you a flower feather parrot, don't you really want to keep one?

Wow!

Anduin's eyes widened immediately, and the blond boy grabbed Vanessa's hand, shaking it back and forth and saying:

You won't lie to me, will you? Sister Vanessa?

When did I lie to you? You little fool!

Vanessa grabbed Anduin's ear and shook it back and forth, causing Anduin to scream. After a while, he ran towards the garden area under the escort of a high-ranking knight, trying to get the Sarantia, a high elf girl adopted by Aunt Alleria, called out to play with her.

Probably because of her different backgrounds and past encounters, despite being adopted for more than half a year, the little high elf girl Sarantia has always seemed withdrawn, and she is not willing to play with the bear children headed by Dornan.

Watching Anduin run back to the city, Vanessa, who has grown into a big child, looked back at her companion. She reached out and brushed her long black hair behind her ears, then walked to Dornan who was leaning against the city wall. Beside him, he reached out and grabbed Dornan's little tail which was flicking around boringly. This action made Dornan jump up directly.

The draenei's tails are sensitive, and in their culture, only close people are allowed to touch each other's tails.

Since the Draenei are real long-lived species, the development speed of Draenei children is also very slow. After a few years, the little Vanessa who used to play mud with Dornan has grown up, but Dornan is still the same little girl she used to be. Except that she has grown a little taller, she is almost the same as she was a few years ago.

This occasionally makes Dornan very upset, but it doesn't affect her relationship with Vanessa. They are really good friends who grew up.

Speaking of which, Taelia, have you met your adoptive father and father?

Dornan and Vanessa had a noisy fight, and then the draenei child king turned his attention to Taelia who was sitting quietly on the side, sharpening the epee with a whetstone.

This little girl picked up by Tyrion from Boralus Harbor has grown rapidly in the past few years, probably because she is a very talented female warrior herself. She is the tallest among several children. And she is very healthy. She is wearing a short shirt, with obvious muscles on both arms. What she polished in her hands is the two-handed epee she found in the Molten Core a few years ago. weapons held.

Taelia is now a qualified fighter.

Facing Dornan's question, Taelia put down the whetstone in her hand, picked up the sackcloth, wiped the blade, and said without raising her head:

Papa Cyrus served in the fleet of General Dai Lin. I had a meal with him last month. Papa gave me a navy knife from the classical era. It is said that it was in the Naga city that was just destroyed by them. found.

As for my own father...I call him Ser Fordragon.

Taelia seemed unwilling to talk too much on this topic. She put the heavy sword in front of her eyes with some difficulty, and while looking at the blade, said briefly:

I met him in Karazhan a few days ago. He has just been resurrected. I feel very strange to him, and I don't have much to say.
