Crossing Azeroth, starting with the Heroes of Might and Magic system

Burning Plains, interior of Blackrock Mountain, Blackrock Depths, the Hall of the Emperor's Throne.

A Dark Iron scout leader quickly ran into the Emperor's Throne Hall to report to Emperor Dagran Thaurissan.

After a salute, the scout leader said, "Emperor, I have confirmed that the invader who killed the warden Stirkis and the fire element leader Isendios in Darkfurnace City that day was the leader of the Oda tribe, Malkaim!"

Emperor Soridor was a little surprised. How come he had never heard of the Oda tribe? Who was Malkaim?

He confirmed with the scout leader again: "Is the news confirmed? Are you sure it's not the Bronzebeard or Wildhammer tribes who are behind this?"

The scout leader said: "It is true. This Malkaim is the leader of the Orda tribe. The Orda tribe lives in Uldaman in the wasteland! And the Bronzebeard dwarf he rescued from Darkfurnace City is Princess Moira, the daughter of King Magni!"

"Magni publicly praised Malkaim in Ironforge Square yesterday and said he would increase cooperation with Uldaman."

Emperor Soridor was also stunned when he heard this.

After a moment, Emperor Soridor waved his hand and said, "You did a good job. Go down first."

"Yes, Emperor!"

Emperor Thaurissan was in a complicated and irritated mood. He really didn't know that his men had kidnapped Princess Moira of Ironforge two days ago.

It would have been fine if they were just kidnapped, but they were rescued and two of their most capable men were killed, the jailer Stylkis and the fire elemental leader Isendios.

As the main city of the Dark Iron Dwarves, Darkforge City's defenses are so poor, which is a great shame.

Emperor Thaurissan thought that if he had known earlier that Princess Moira was in Darkfurnace City, he would have had the opportunity to brainwash Princess Moira with his powerful witchcraft.

Princess Moira is the only descendant of Magni. If I control her, won't Ironforge fall into my hands in the future?

Now that the people have been rescued, they have formed a deep hatred with Ironforge. However, the hatred with Ironforge has not been for just one or two days. Now that Blackrock Mountain is protected by the Firelord, I believe Ironforge will not dare to attack again.

It's all the fault of the Oda tribe! It's all the fault of Malkaim! They actually broke into Darkfurnace City without permission, what do they think Blackrock Mountain is? They came and left as they pleased, and even dared to rescue the princess! And they even dared to kill people!

He must be taught a lesson. The Dark Iron tribe couldn't conquer Ironforge, so how could they not conquer you, a little-known tribe of Oddar?

Emperor Soridor became angrier the more he thought about it, so he immediately ordered General Angfor and puppet commander Agmanchi to come.

General Angerfor is an expert in Dark Iron Dwarf military history and tactics. He possesses profound military talent and is a leader among the Dark Iron Dwarves.

Golem Lord General Agmanch is a powerful dwarf shaman, engineer, and one of the leaders of the Dark Iron Tribe.

Soon, the two arrived at the Emperor's Throne Hall.

"Emperor, what instructions do you have?"

The two of them bowed respectfully and said.

Emperor Soridorsan said: "The man who invaded Darkfurnace City before has been found. He is Malkaim, the leader of the Oda tribe. He killed two of our generals. Now I want you to destroy him."

General Angerfor said with a puzzled look: "The Oda tribe? Malkaim?"

General Angfor often fought in wars, and he basically knew all the powerful dwarves, or at least had heard of them, but he really didn't know Malcolm.

Emperor Thaurissan said: "Yes, I have just confirmed his identity as well. The Oda tribe lives in Uldaman in the Badlands."

Puppet Commander Agmanchi said: "I have been to the Desolate Land many times. There are no large towns there, and there are not many dwarves. This Oda tribe is probably a small tribe in some corner."

Emperor Thaurissan thought the same. He said, "I don't care what the Oda tribe is like. I must destroy them and let them know what a tragic end it will be if they become enemies of the powerful Dark Iron Dwarves."

General Angerfor said: "Yes, breaking into Darkfurnace City without permission and killing people is an unforgivable crime. Please, Emperor, give an order to eliminate this thief."

Puppet Commander Agmanchi also said: "I agree with General Angerfor. Those who offend the Dark Iron Tribe must be taught a lesson."

Emperor Soridor said: "Okay! I'll leave this to you two. Each of you will lead your elite troops to wipe out the Oda tribe. Whoever takes Malkaim's head will be rewarded handsomely!"

The two answered in unison: "Yes, Great Emperor!"

Soon, the two generals began to gather at the back gate of Blackrock Mountain, at the Burning Canyon.

The troops led by General Angfor were mainly Dark Iron Dwarf soldiers, including Ironfury Guards, Ironfury Officers, Ironfury Hunters, Ironfury Mages, both melee and ranged.

The troops led by the puppet commander Agmanchi include all kinds of strange soldiers, including bloody hellhounds, fire elementals, and mechanical puppets (including angry hammer puppets and furious puppets).

The two armies, with a total of nearly 30,000 people, after some pre-war mobilization, marched in a mighty force from the Burning Gorge towards the barren land of Uldaman.

Their whereabouts were soon discovered by the royal griffins hovering in the scorching sky.

This large army surprised Varian a little.

Varian knew that the Dark Iron dwarves would retaliate, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Malcolm's magic is very powerful, but the hundreds of combat dwarves under his command are second-level troops with little combat effectiveness. They can't resist the army of Dark Iron Dwarves no matter what.

The number of battle dwarves is still too small, only a few hundred. Varian is trying to find a way to expand the size of the Orda tribe, and he can't let the battle dwarves die.

It seems that Varian has to fight this battle.

Considering that the Thunder Bluff sub-base was built relatively late and has few soldiers, Varian does not plan to use soldiers from the Thunder Bluff rampart race in this battle.

So he went back to Dagger Ridge first and gathered several major generals.

Gavinrad, Gryan Stoutmantle, Mathias, Cullen, Marcus.

Then almost all the troops were gathered together.

1500 halberd soldiers, 1000 shield infantrymen, 800 sharpshooters, 500 crusaders, 300 champion knights, 500 griffin knights, 120 witches, 80 priests, 300 musketeers, 100 mortar squads, 14 bombing planes, and 6000 type 5 electrocutors.

Then Varian teleported these troops to Uldaman through the time and space gate.

Of course, in addition to the troops in the castle, Varian also has to send other troops. Varian likes a crushing style of play.

So Varian came to the branch base in Stranglethorn Vale.
