Chapter 562 Thoughts of the Commander of Natural Disasters
Kobolds have the ability to cast spells, which is well known in the world.
Born out of the kobolds, the Argonians have further enhanced their spellcasting talents and become very special engineering warlocks.
Most of the skills of warlocks are obtained by digging deep into the blood. In game terms, spells are "awakened" rather than "researched".
What a warlock has to do is to constantly use spells. Apart from proficiency, they also improve their abilities and further awaken the power and knowledge in their blood.
Under the effect of Kane's hacking, the Argonians have made relatively large strides in this regard, and the relatively low-end engineering techniques have allowed them to avoid the bad situation of pulling eggs.
Today, in the transformation process of Shadowfang Castle, the ability of nearly ten thousand Yalong people has been reflected.
Shadowfang Castle is a castle dominated by rocks, with 65% of the materials used, and the remaining 35% is wood.
Under the engineering magic of the Argonians, the nature of these rocks was changed, and they were fused, and the size was standardized.
The castle is built with standardized new materials, and the rough and informal architectural style of the castle in the middle world is gone, replaced by a precise and orderly barrier.
The gap between the new materials needs to be approached very close, and the looming line can only be seen if you stare carefully. If you go a little farther, you will feel that the entire wall is integrated.
The terrain of Shadowfang Castle is dangerous, with a steep rocky mountain to the north, the gate opens to the east, and Pyrewood Village at the foot of the mountain to the south.
After the reconstruction, there are giant rock sentry posts on the mountain at the back. From above, with ordinary equipment, you can see the sea hundreds of miles away, and you can have a panoramic view around the castle.
Pyrewood Village has also been rearranged, planned to build a new one and named Pinewood Town, a church and cemetery were built in the west of the town by the sea, the tombs of Baron Silverlane and others were erected, the castle, and The dead of Burning Wood Village can rest in peace.
The military commander of the original castle, Springvale, who was related to Baron Sivalane, obtained the body of darkness, became a member of the Dark Blade Knights, and was responsible for continuing to lead the armed forces of the castle.
Springvale used to be a paladin of the Silver Hand, and he violated the rules to protect the castle, so even after his death, he couldn't return to the Garden of Heroes over Light's Hope Chapel.
Kane adopted a certain degree of deception for this capable but somewhat stubborn former paladin.
Springvale, who was successfully fooled, thought that the power he was using now was a variant of the power of the Holy Light. And he firmly believes that after all, there is the saint Galin Trollbane who is known as "walking the world on behalf of the Holy Light" as a guarantee.
The next afternoon, the teleportation circle was repaired, and Antonidas personally brought the group over to discuss with Kane on the invasion of natural disasters.
Antonidas was surprised by the tragedies that happened in Pyrewood Village and Shadowfang Castle, and expressed that Dalaran was willing to contribute to the spread of the werewolf curse.
In addition, the old archmage also visited the renovation site of the castle and Pyrenewood Town, and greatly appreciated the practical effect of the engineering magic combined with technology used by the Yalong people.
As for Kane's Argonian, Antonidas didn't say much. In fact, mages are also very accustomed to capturing creatures from other planes and enslaving them.
Kane said that the confrontation with the Scourge may be difficult to come to a conclusion for a while.
In this context, the Falken Volunteer Army, which has come from afar and is more logistical (mainly heavy weapons), needs a suitable foothold.
As for Shadowfang Castle and Pyrewood Village, Kane felt that they were very suitable.
Rather than allowing this dangerous place to be coveted by those with ulterior motives, it is better to be in the hands of the volunteers.
Kane also said that he plans to build a small port under the cliff on the west side of the castle. Relying on the castle, the mountain is already dangerous and protected by heavy artillery.
This port can not only provide supplies for ships in Kul Tiras and Stormwind City further south, but also serve as a base for exploring the North Sea.
And even doing so is equivalent to guarding the gate for Gilneas,
It is also very helpful to stabilize the security in the southern part of Silverpine Forest.
He also welcomes Dalaran mages to establish a stronghold here and participate in various projects together. After all, this fight against the Scourge is an alliance operation, not an exclusive operation.
The wily Antonidas did not readily agree to the Falcon Volunteers' practice of taking it for themselves without asking, and making it clear that they did not intend to leave after occupying it. He worried that Dalaran would be involved in a territorial dispute.
In comparison, the dwarves and gnomes were much happier. They got the news later and traveled farther, so when the joint forces of the two parties arrived, it was already the sixth day after occupying the castle.
Their troops took the 6th route, but the military supplies were half a beat behind and they received the latest news from Kane, so they chose to take the sea route.
As a result, it was the fleet that arrived first.
Shadowfang Harbor was eventually established between the castle and Pyrewood, near the cliffs to the west of the castle on the deep water docks. On the side near Pyrewood Town, ships are mainly parked near the sea.
During the construction of the port, Arashi Fadil Port dispatched two ironclad ships, which were parked at sea and acted as barriers to block threats from the sea until the pier was fully built.
The addition of dwarves and dwarves gave the volunteers the appearance of a coalition.
In particular, these two races are good at making steam tanks and stone puppets for dwarves, while gnomes are all kinds of equipment full of whimsy.
When they showed their strengths, the whole big camp suddenly became very popular and lively.
At the same time, the Scourge fleet still floating at sea received an urgent letter from Arugal.
The Lich King originally spread waves of special energy, looking for intelligent beings who could practice his undead technology and would devote themselves to his kingdom.
Kel'Thuzad is only representative of the human race, and there are also those of other races, but in comparison, there are no historical records, and they are all cannon fodder.
When Arugal came into contact with the special energy wave of the Lich King, he was only a little later than Kel'Thuzad. More importantly, he was relatively poor financially, and his material conditions did not support him for an unknown possibility. Take the risk of ruining your fortune.
But after being expelled from Dara, Arugal still got on the line with the Lich King, because some content in the "Book of Ur" could not be parsed by Arugal himself.
In the past, he had the Dalaran Great Library to find the cracking path, but now he can only rely on 'professionals' like the Lich King.
These two hooked up like this, and they were like-minded, probably that's what they meant.
The one who received the urgent letter from Arugao was Wakhan, the Gudak troll of the Salin clan.
This is obviously different from the original historical line. The original first Sarain was the mother of vampires, or the queen of blood, Lannathel.
Lannathel and several blood princes, such as Kaiceres, Varana, and Tadaram, were once Quel'Thalas elves.
After the elven kingdom was overthrown by the Scourge, Prince Kael'thas changed his family name to the Sin'dorei, that is, the blood elves, and vowed to take revenge on the Scourge.
Lanather and others were sent by the prince to Northrend to fight against the blood elves of the Scourge. Unfortunately, they died in battle and were resurrected by the Lich King as Salayne.
Blood, frost, and filth, these are the Lich King's own systems based on the void, evil energy, and the power of death.
Salein is the blood line.
Perhaps the overall strength of the alliance in the Eastern Continent made the Lich King feel the pressure.
Salein was taken out of his liver in advance.
In terms of selecting the species base embryo, without the high elves, the Lich King chose the ancient race of trolls.
Gudak has preserved the relics of the glory days of trolls until now, not much inferior to that of Zandalar. Perhaps, this is the reason why the Lich King took a high look.
Wakhan is the commander in chief of this Southern Expedition, supervised by two Dreadlords.
They are Hernus and Elek respectively, both of which are little-known characters in the original history line. The Nathrezim are a species, and the number is naturally huge. These two followed the Big Three and mixed in the Scourge.
After receiving the urgent letter, Wakan understood Kane's intentions.
He said to the two fear demon kings: "Obviously, this is an invitation to fight."
Henus said with a thick and hollow voice, with a bit of contempt: "Commander Wakhan, how can you tell that this is an invitation to fight."
The muscles on Wakhan's face twitched a few times, but he still explained patiently: "When this army passed the Hillsbrad Hills, no one noticed, showing its ability to covertly march, while in Silverpine Forest It is an aboveboard appearance. The meaning is self-evident, either, come to Silverpine Forest to fight with me, or, be careful of the surprise attack of my hidden and rapid march."
The two Dreadlords thought for a while, and felt that what Wakhan said still made sense.
The Barov family used to own a lot of real estate in the Hillsbrad Hills, and they had operated it for many years, so they naturally had connections.
The Falken Kingdom swallowed up part of the hilly area, and the rest was governed by the local residents, and the Barov family had their eyes here.
Even the Kingdom of Falcon has it, but the country's series of measures are very sharp. A residents' committee was formed, and a group of old men and women also used their spare heat to keep an eye on those idlers and vagrants, as well as new faces, which made the intelligence work develop very difficult.
But even so, with an army of more than 10,000 people marching and a large convoy of supplies, it is almost impossible to not be noticed.
However, there was no urgent letter from the hills, but Alugao from the Silverpine Forest sent the letter. This really showed the army's ability.
Aleck the Dread Demon King said: "This is the rhythm of the enemy. I don't mind following up. We must take the initiative and bring the enemy into our rhythm."
"Specifically? What is your suggestion? Whisper the coast to land 6, all the way east, and join us in the Valley of Fear in the Darrow area and the island of Keir Darrow?" Wakhan asked Elek.
"No, that way we are too passive. The troops will have to cross almost the entire Tirisfal Forest and half of the Darrow region. On the way, Brill and even the humans in Hearthglen can deal a powerful blow to us. And we have no supplies, we can only rely on what we carry with the ship, which consumes too much."
Henus stared at the map, thinking: "Maybe we can climb 6 from here. Then attack here." Saying that, it clicked on the map.
Wakan and Elek saw that the 6 o'clock chosen by Honus was the deserted beach of the North Sea on the north side of Cheshui Lake.
There is a beach, and you have to rely on small boats to get on land, and big boats simply can't get close.
This means that it will be much more difficult to transport a lot of equipment on board the ship to shore.
In addition, the south of that area is the King City of Lordaeron. There is no danger to defend, but it is also very suitable for large troops, especially cavalry.
There is another problem. If you land from the Whispering Coast, the location of the Agamand Mill in the east is a natural stronghold, and the Agamand family is also ready to "welcome the king's teacher".
On the east side of the deserted beach in the North Sea, there were the Holy Light Sentinel and the Holy Light Monastery (later the Scarlet Monastery). Once the Scourge fleet approached, they would definitely be discovered.
Then, before they could gain a firm foothold, Lordaeron's Royal Cavalry and the Silver Hands attacked them on the beach.
"Here? Is it suitable?" Alek frowned
Wakhan thought more and understood Hernus' intentions, "You mean, they are all hard bones, and we are willing to give silver hands?"
Honus nodded: "Yes, I am confident that I will torture those paladins and make them corrupt. If our cannon fodder can be exchanged for a batch of death knights, that would be appropriate."
Henus said again: "Also, don't forget that the Holy Light Monastery has a long history, and it is also an important stronghold of the Church of Light. There is a Garden of Heroes..."
When Hernus said this, Wakhan and Elek immediately thought of gaining power through blasphemy, and searching for more noble souls, torturing them to degenerate, and becoming the generals of the Scourge.
"It seems... this is a good choice." Wakan said and looked at Aleck.
Aleck touched his chin and nodded: "However, I suggest to test Prince Trollbane's volunteer army, maybe it's a paper tiger? You know, our ultimate goal is "Book of Medivh". It is bound to make Dalaran ready, and it has already lost a bit strategically. If it is possible to attack Dalaran directly, even if it is a strong attack, it should be chosen there, even if it kills this army."
