Chapter 1105 Chess Player (Part 2)
As always, Duke was ready to present intelligence and convince the kings with reasonable evidence, but...
This time Duke was confused.
Magni waved his stout and short hand: "Intelligence!? Please, I have known you Duke for twenty years, and the things you emphasize are not good. This world has almost been destroyed for the third time. Even if you Tell me that the fourth world-destroying crisis is coming soon, and I won’t be surprised at all! Let’s be honest, who is the boss of the enemy this time? How far should we go? If you say it, we will do it!”
Dwarves are a race that likes to ignore the process and go straight to the result.
Dwarves are known to be rough and direct, but to their surprise, the other kings and bosses all nodded in agreement.
The great craftsman Gelbin wiped his small round lenses with a cloth and agreed absently: "Yes! Duke, just tell me! Is it a local war or a general war? Tell us, let us have an idea, It’s convenient for preparing arms! Just give us a copy of your intelligence and rhetoric, and we can use it to fool the people below."
"Yes! My Storm Hammer is already thirsty!" Kurdran was also cheering.
Well, all of a sudden the dwarfs who needed to be persuaded raised their hands and voted in favor.
Duke's mouth became O-shaped and opened wide. He suddenly realized that the words he had prepared were useless.
Looking around, we can see that our queens don't need convincing, they have already started mobilizing. The boss of Dalaran is now Luoning, and Duke is definitely the only one who follows his lead.
Duke himself is the representative of the Kingdom of Storm this time.
Well, unanimous vote passed!
Duke stopped being pretentious and walked directly to the military map. He pressed the edge of the map table with both hands and leaned forward in a posture like a roaring tiger.
"There are two groups of enemies. One is Prince Nefarian and Princess Onyxia, the remnants of the black dragon clan. Now Nefarian controls the Blackstone orcs and a large number of black dragons and half-dragons occupying the upper and lower floors of Blackstone Tower. .The other faction is..."
Duke raised his right hand, with the palm of his hand pointing to the sky, and suddenly there appeared an illusion of a fire giant with an inverted triangle shape on its upper body and holding a flaming hammer.
"During the Dark Empire, which was even longer than the ancient times, he had been entrenched in the southeastern part of the ancient Kalimdor continent. He was the fire elemental lord Ragnaros who single-handedly turned the ancient Redridge Mountains into today's Burning Plains."
"Damn! It's this guy! Is it finally waking up? Well, if it is this thing, we Bronzebeard dwarves will be responsible for it." Magni stood up suddenly.
Kurdran also reacted in the same way: "Count the Wildhammer dwarves."
After all, whether Ragnaros, who followed the Ancient God, will appear in this world will still be the cause of the Three Hammers War. Emperor Thaurissan lost the battle, but he tried to make a comeback by playing summons, but ended up summoning the Fire Demon King. Even if he died, even the Dark Iron Dwarves under his command would become slaves.
Duke said loudly: "Ragnaros actually showed signs of recovery in the second final battle of the Dark Portal. At that time, the fire element giant Baron Geddon came out. I think everyone still has the impression."
The alliance bosses who had experienced the second Dark Portal War nodded.
"So, our worst-case scenario is that the black dragon clan and the fire element clan attack us at the same time."
Queen Xi asked: "Can't the Black Dragon clan let Longmian Temple handle it?"
It's okay if Queen Xi didn't mention it, but after mentioning it, Duke also became angry. As one of the personal witnesses of history, he finally knew why the Mao Black Dragon Clan was so arrogant that no Dragon Clan could come to deal with them.
"In fact, after I returned from the River of Time, I went to find Nozdormu and also went to Wyrmrest Temple. Everyone, you know why after the Burning Legion killed Archimonde, one of its two commanders, Is there no sound on the planet Azeroth?"
"It can't be that you're afraid, right?" Kalia asked.
Duke sighed: "Of course not. The Burning Legion relies on the fact that demons can be resurrected indefinitely as long as they don't die in the Twisting Nether. Now there are more than ten thousand demons coming to cause trouble above the atmosphere of Azeroth every day. Anyway, the four dragon clans are now They’re all very busy.”
"Atmosphere? Do you mean above the clouds?" Kurdran asked.
"That's right. The atmosphere also includes low-level clouds, but the place where dragons and demons fight is higher, where there is no air."
"Can we only rely on the strength of us mortals?" Luo Ning touched the beard on his chin.
Duke corrected: "If it is the Blackstone Orcs and Dark Iron Dwarves, the mortal army can still solve it. But what is most needed now is to organize an elite team composed entirely of extraordinary people to go deep into the Blackstone Mountain to a place called [Molten] In the flame area of [Heart], take care of the Fire Elemental King inside. If possible, turn around and take care of Nefarian who is entrenched on the top of the Blackstone Tower."
"You seem to have missed a certain target, right?" Jaina frowned.
Duke smiled: "No! I didn't miss anything. The next plan is the key..."
At the alliance meeting in early January, a series of new policies for the alliance were decided.
It involves all aspects:
Diplomatically, the night elves joined the alliance and reached a package deal agreement with the tribe.
Militaryly, the Alliance announced that in order to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Alliance, a military parade will be held in May and October respectively in Stormwind City, the core of the first Dark Portal War, and in Lordaeron, where the Alliance was established.
In terms of domestic affairs, in addition to the promulgation of a package of policies aimed at strengthening trade and cultural exchanges within the alliance, what attracts the most people is that starting from February this year, grand festivals will be held almost every other month to celebrate the 20th anniversary.
Valentine's Day, February 14th.
…
May 7th Children's Week.
Midsummer Day, June 21st.
Wine Festival on September 20th.
When the news spread, the entire Eastern Kingdom continent was in a state of excitement, and people rushed to tell each other.
It's no wonder the public responded so enthusiastically. After all, the past twenty years have been full of ups and downs. The three Dark Portal battles basically plowed the entire Eastern Kingdom continent back and forth for more than a circle.
Many people fled from the Kingdom of Stormwind to Lordaeron, and then fled from Lordaeron back to the Kingdom of Stormwind, traveling back and forth across the two continents.
In particular, the inhumane death army in Alsace made the people shudder. Although the Scourge has been completely cleared from the continent of Lordaeron, the occasional massacres of villages by members of the Cult of the Damned still remind the people of the existence of terror in disguise.
There are still many people worried about the Lich King's comeback.
It can be said that as long as Arthas and that Ner'zhul are not destroyed by the Holy Light, it will be difficult for people who have experienced the undead natural disaster to sleep peacefully.
Now that the alliance has announced consecutive festivals, it can somewhat dilute the fear and sorrow in people's hearts.
