Azeroth’s Death Track

We have eliminated the threat of a large insect nest in the Shimmering Plains, burning tens of thousands of insects with incendiary bombs, but this has also stimulated the insect swarms in the Great Rift in the Tanaris Desert. In the past 3 days, they The activities of the Qiraji have become more frequent, and there are even Qiraji workers in the desert near Gadgetzan, and there are constant commandos composed of winged insects investigating outside Gadgetzan City.”

The goblins of the Steamwheedle Consortium think that we have attracted the attack of the bugs, and they demand compensation from us for their business losses. It is said that several caravans of the goblins collecting data in the bush valley near the Great Crack were attacked by the bugs for no reason. All in all, the situation in the Tanaris Desert is very bad, and we believe that the abnormal activity of the large rift hive is a signal that the worms are about to gather their army and go to war.

General Halford Wyrmbane of the Seventh Legion pointed with a stern face on the map behind him, and introduced the current situation of Tanaris to the three kingship representatives of the Stormwind Kingdom in front of him.

Countess Prestor who just returned from Dustwallow Marsh asked with some doubts:

Why do those bugs treat us as enemies? Since they know how to investigate before a battle, it means that they have a certain amount of wisdom. Have humans ever made enemies with them?

No one knows why.

Archbishop Chaldea touched the handle of the purple ritual dagger at his waist calmly, and said softly:

A few days ago, I talked with the leader of the Blightcaller Druids. It is reported that in the early stage of the Quicksand War 1,000 years ago, the war between the Qiraji and the night elves also broke out without warning. According to Drew According to Yimen, the Qiraji are cruel by nature and are extremely hostile to any life other than them, why do they want us to be the target of war?

I guess it's just because we were unlucky.

The archbishop sighed:

The worms won't negotiate with us. Whether we like it or not, the war has already started unilaterally. General Half, how is the morale of our soldiers? Are there enough supplies?

The morale of the Seventh Legion is currently good. After the replacement of the new guns, the soldiers have been able to wipe out the charging bugs from a long distance under the cover of the artillery in the several encounters so far, and there is no need for close combat. The sword is resolved, so there are not many casualties at present.

General Halford Wyrmbane showed a worried expression:

But the situation can't be so smooth all the time. The bugger's large force has been staying near the big rift. Once the full-scale battle starts, with the bugger's offensive mode, once they break through the fire defense line, it will inevitably cause us great casualties. But if The Seventh Legion can get enough artillery and artillery supplements, and my subordinates and I are confident that we will persist in the Tanaris Desert until reinforcements arrive.

As for the supplies... Northenfogg, a big businessman in Steamwheedle Port, has always been on good terms with the Empire. The goblin said that he can shoulder our supply line, but the premise is that we have to pay a large deposit in advance.

As soon as the general's words fell, Duke Ebonlocke waved his hand and said in a deep voice:

Money is not a problem. As long as the combat effectiveness of the soldiers can be guaranteed, the Stormwind Kingdom is willing to pay the money. As for the artillery and ammunition you need, you can also replenish them in Gadgetzan. General Half, you can ask the Kingdom for any necessary needs. Apply, we will do everything in our power to meet the needs of soldiers, and we only have one request!

The old prince clenched his fists and said in a deep voice:

Keep the bugs out of the desert! Don't let a single bug enter the kingdom... The people's life has just returned to normal, and a war breaking out in the heart of the kingdom will directly destroy all our efforts in the past more than a year. In the past Can the Seventh Legion, which has repeatedly made outstanding achievements on the battlefield and the people place high hopes on it, fulfill this request?

Of course! Your Excellency the Duke!

General Half smashed his left fist on the breastplate, and said in a deep voice:

As long as the system of the Seventh Legion is still there, bugs will never even think about crossing our defense line!

The report on the Tanaris Desert Battlefield came to an end soon. The Seventh Legion received the full support of the Stormwind Kingdom, which made the loyal and fearless General Half feel very happy. Later, when the human empire rebuilt its borders in the New World, the empire's investment in the army became more generous than before. This was probably due to the impact of the fear left in the hearts of the rulers by the Battle of the Northern Frontier.

But both Halford and other generals are very clear that with such strong support, once the army is unable to protect the lives of the people, as commanders, they will directly bear all the responsibilities... The empire needs An invincible army will be used in the future to challenge the Darkblade Undead that once brought them endless fear, and the duty of the generals is to create such an army for the empire.

Whether it's buggers or other threats, this army must go through hardships, and they must win!

Otherwise, they can only be ruthlessly eliminated.

On the other hand, after General Halford left, the three temporary rulers of the Stormwind Kingdom did not leave immediately, but closed the door and began to discuss other important matters.

Although General Halford is full of confidence, to be honest, according to the description of the Blightcaller druids, it is impossible to solve the troubles caused by the insects only by relying on our Seventh Legion.

The archbishop of Chaldea tapped his finger on the map, and he said to the other two companions in a mature and solemn way:

At best, we can only solve the troubles in the Tanaris Desert, but the Zerg's base camp is not here, but in the Silithus Desert further south. The Tanaris' Worm Nest is at best a vanguard. But to go to Silithus, the Kingdom of Stormwind alone is not enough, and the entire empire cannot be fully mobilized...We have to find more comrades.

But I heard that the newly emerged Blightcaller sect has already stated that they will build a front-line position in Silithus and always welcome the Empire to settle in it?

Duke Ebonlocke asked:

I heard that those druids also have a powerful God to help them, isn't that enough?

You are talking about the powerful demigod of the wilderness, Agamaggan, the god of earth, brute force and thorns. I have seen its mountain-like body before. It is really as powerful as a god, but... not enough!

The Archbishop explained:

I talked about this issue with the great patriarch, Ms. Moyana. The lady told me very frankly that even if the empire and the Blightcaller act together, the winning rate of fighting the buggers is only between five and five. I think To win and pay less sacrifices, we need to unite more forces, just like the Blightcaller has been actively inviting the night elves' druid sect Cenarion Council to join the war...we should also look for Our own allies!

Looking at the duke and countess in front of him with clear eyes, Chaldea said:

To put it bluntly, with the current situation of the empire, we must tie more races to the chariot and pass on some of the sacrifices to them, otherwise the development of the empire will be greatly affected... I have seen it with my own eyes I have to say, this battle is not easy, you two, we have to prepare in advance.

Is it really just because of this?

The Countess of Prestor looked at the archbishop wearing a black robe suspiciously, and her yellow snake eyes shone with suspicion:

Bishop Chaldea, I think at this moment, you need to be frank... If you don't tell us everything, it will be difficult for us to make this decision.

The atmosphere became stagnant. Facing the countess' questioning, the archbishop hesitated for more than ten seconds. He looked around, and then said:

There is one last reason, a reason that is not so fair and aboveboard. With the knowledge of the two of you, you must know that the future war between the Empire and the Dark Blade is inevitable. The Empire is at a military disadvantage. The Battle of Northern Border has proved that The military potential of the dark blade, in the face of this threat, the empire urgently needs strong external assistance, and it is difficult to contain the undead by relying on a single human race alone... We need a system! We need to tie other living people to our In the chariot.

Chaldea spread her hands:

A multi-racial living united system, just like the federal civilization on the other side of the continent, we also need to form a large-scale united front in Kalimdor, dominated by human civilization, to unite humans, orcs, Goblins, elves, even barbarians, even those centaurs, are all included in this system, bonding us together with interests and mutual bloodshed...

When mankind needs to counterattack across the sea in the future, there will be a powerful joint force around us.

The archbishop said to the companion in front of him with some regret:

This was once a grand idea under the crown of Emperor Lothar and Faol. The emperor had this consideration as early as the first time he saw the civilized scene of Kalimdor. Unfortunately, the fiasco of the Battle of Northern Border made this idea a reality. The moon in the water is a flower in the mirror... But this time the insect crisis is a rare opportunity, so we must seize this opportunity to create the prototype of such an alliance of the living.

Seeing that Chaldea told everything, including such church secrets, Countess Prestor and Duke Ebonlocke looked at each other, and finally the old Duke asked:

Is this your own idea, Chaldea, or has everyone reached a consensus?

His Majesty Faol has agreed to this resolution.

The Bishop of Chaldea drew a religious symbol on his chest and said:

The king's council has not yet reached a consensus, but I have personally seen the Sun King of the high elves and the kings exchange blood books, that is to say, they have actually begun to advance this resolution... This is what I want to tell you, The Countess and Your Excellency the Duke, I will soon set off for Durotar with the Patriarch of the Blightcaller, as a representative of the empire and the church, to unite the tribes of the orcs, trolls and tauren to send troops to aid Xilisu The great battle of Si.

And after I leave, I hope that the two of you can work together to manage the kingdom well, and...maintain the battle situation on the front line.

The archbishop said in a tone of compassion:

The young kings are still hostile to the orcs in their hearts, so I can only go on behalf of the empire... I don't know what the result will be, but I still have the best hope, but the empire... the kings are too young , They are somewhat reckless in their actions. The conflict between His Majesty Galin and the Patriarch is just a trivial manifestation of this recklessness. After the war with the insects is over, we must start to consider the candidate for the emperor...

This is the urgent question.

———————————————

That's really nice to say, my lovely Chaldea, she gave everything for the empire, even going to the gathering place of the orcs alone, look at the way the old duke looks at you, tsk tsk, he already regards you as a saint character.

In the room of the archbishop of Chaldea, in the darkness, Chaldea leaned quietly on the chair, fingering the rosary beads one after another, as if reciting sacred scriptures, but in his soul In it, a most evil existence is communicating with him.

Have you thought about what to do? Chaldea, how do you tie the orcs to your chariot?

The fifth ancient god Xalatas asked softly:

Those orcs are not easy to fool. They are not willing to sacrifice their warriors for the sake of human beings. There is hatred between your two races. Although it is forcibly suppressed by the leaders of both sides, this bloody hatred is not Time can eliminate it, I have seen it many times in the past tens of millions of years...the wheel of hatred will never stop until one side completely falls.

Facing the doubts of the ancient gods, Chaldea didn't have much to say. His soul rested quietly in the halo of interlaced light and shadow. He said:

No one asks orcs to shed blood and sacrifice for humans, and I'm not naive enough to think that I can play with the cruel thinking of those orc chieftains with words, but I know a truth, a villain who will sit and watch others drown in the water, when he falls When entering the water, they will still struggle frantically, begging for help from every passerby... Orcs don't want to help humans, it doesn't matter...

As long as they still have the awareness of self-help, that's enough. They will soon know that joining the camp against insects is protecting themselves...

Ms. Xalatas, I heard you say before that C'Thun's hatred and desire for you are endless, right? Then let us see how big your charm is.
