Chapter 189 Thunder Spear Pierces the Sky
The Queen of Undercity has arrived in person, and one of the three goblin airships is already teetering on the brink of collapse.
As if to welcome his beloved queen, Lorraine planned to set off some fireworks in the sewers of Dalaran... This fool had no idea of the power of elemental salt explosives... He just piled them up one after another next to the iron cage, figuring the monsters deserved to be blown up anyway...
He remembered the commander telling him when he gave him these unassuming little bombs that the elemental salt explosives were mainly used to break through special locks or doors... good for pinpoint demolition.
It wasn't a weapon with area-of-effect damage, but he overlooked the dosage...
The goblins loved to research all sorts of bombs, and after many experiments, Lorraine obtained the most stable product.
Though small in size, it is incredibly powerful.
Lorraine quietly lit the fuse and quickly hid...
He just wanted to hear one sound... to save the right person.
Dalaran almost faced annihilation!
High above, on the Horde's side, the airships from Undercity were naturally the plague messengers sent to aid them.
The Alliance, however, received the news and urgently dispatched reinforcements from Ironforge. The four floating rotorships were the latest products of gnome technology and dwarven forging. They had collected enemy data and combined the wisdom of gnome master craftsmen, quickly producing a total of five warships in the workshops.
Four ships were dispatched immediately to provide emergency support to the battlefield...
General Marcus, the Alliance representative, was primarily tasked with persuading the Scarlet Crusade to join the Alliance on behalf of Stormwind. He hadn't communicated much with Ironforge, which drew criticism from the dwarves. Alterac Valley itself was the territory of the Stormpike Expedition, and military command there was also in the hands of the dwarven general.
The human cavalry and plate-armored shield guards from the direction of Southshore were a welcome addition, coming to assist and support the Kingdom of Gilneas, which was mired in the Worgen curse crisis.
The real solution to the werewolf problem came from the druids and wardens sent by the night elves...
When the real war broke out on the shores of Lake Lordamere, almost everyone overlooked the mastermind behind it: Lord Gilneas Godfrey, whose whereabouts remain unknown to this day, and his two supporters: Baron Ashbringer and Lord Warden...
The Alliance is trying to win over not only the Scarlet Crusade, but also Gilneas, the Gulf Kingdom that has long been isolated in a corner of the world.
Of course, if Dalaran knew what was good for them, Stormwind would still treat these mages, who had long been outside the circles of royalty and nobility, with great courtesy... Unfortunately, things developed far beyond Marcus's expectations.
Some within the alliance clearly do not want to peacefully evolve the situation or to persuade these self-important peripheral states to join the Holy Alliance through lobbying.
Commander Stormpike received orders from Stormwind: King Varian's disappearance is likely a Horde conspiracy!
All armies must launch attacks on both continents... lest the Horde beasts gain the upper hand. The Regent of Stormwind, with the support of the Archbishop and several nobles, plans to simultaneously advance north and south in the Eastern Kingdoms... The orcs have already gained significant influence in Kalimdor, forcing the Night Elves to strategically retreat.
The Eastern Kingdoms must seize the initiative, and naturally, the dwarves and gnomes will lead the charge in Alterac Valley!
As for the original Black Gilneas Kingdom... their only option now is to submit to the Alliance.
On the dwarven gunboat flying the blue and golden lion banner, the leader of the Stormpike Expeditionary Force was none other than Fandral Stormpike. This dwarven commander personally led his Stormpike Guard, along with Captain Balinda, sent by Stormwind, against the Frostwolf Clan in Alterac Valley.
The dwarven soldiers were frantically trying to extinguish the raging fire, while General Stormpike was reprimanding Lord Darius, whom Gilneas had sent... Behind them stood a night elf woman whom Lorraine had met once before.
She is the Druid Leader from the Council of Senarion... a member of the Watchers, and people call her the Watcher because she always wears a mask.
Faced with the dwarves' discontent, the night elf and her followers remained silent...
It seemed that humans and dwarves were not on the same side as them... The main character also ignored these elven archers and druids. The hot-tempered and arrogant dwarven general was a head shorter than Lord Darius of Gilneas, yet he looked at the so-called noble Lord Darius of the Kingdom of Gilneas with utter disdain.
"Oh, I heard our alliance has gained a furry ally? Why don't you show me how to conjure a dog right here?"
“General Vandall, I hope you can be a little more polite to the citizens of our former neighboring country. Besides, we are now on the same side! And we are human beings, not some furry creatures.”
Lord Darius was very grateful for the Night Elves' help. He personally was closer to the Alliance than King Greymane of Gilneas. Compared to the ruined history of Lordaeron, he believed that Stormwind was the strongest human kingdom at present, with elves, dwarves, and gnomes surrounding them. Gilneas should have taken the initiative to move closer to the Alliance long ago.
Just as the Alliance of Lordaeron once united with the seven human kingdoms to fight against the orc minions of the Burning Legion.
Unfortunately, things are different now. Gilneas couldn't hold out much longer. As the undead plague spread, the old king's long-held desire for isolation and self-preservation was thwarted by the spread of the Worgen Curse... leaving an indelible shadow on the hearts of the Gilneans...
Disaster is unavoidable...
This undoubtedly plunged the Gilneans into despair. After encountering the Holy Knights and Dwarven Warriors, who were also from the so-called Alliance faction, they were invisibly inferior.
They've turned into werewolves...
The werewolves gradually grew closer to the night elves, not only because the elven druids taught the Gilneans how to suppress the werewolf god's rage and maintain their werewolf forms...
"Hehe, I am the master here. Your joining the alliance still requires a vote from those councilors and the royal family. I heard that your old wolf is still fantasizing about a peaceful world, but you little rascal ran out to lick my boots without permission... Don't think I don't know anything."
“General, I have come for my people. His Majesty the King does the same; even if he disagrees with my actions, I still respect him.”
......
"Respecting the king means being loyal to him! I don't like two-faced cowards. If you want recognition here, besides being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, you'd better show me some real skills. You couldn't even aim at that lousy goblin hot air balloon that's so close, it's infuriating. Get out of my way!"
As Fandral and Stormpike spoke, they began to tap the head of the dwarven gunner beside them, even attempting to take aim themselves...
Several commanders nearby quickly intervened and tried to pull the old man away.
Behind him, the elven watchman, the werewolf lord, the human captain, and the accompanying artillerymen remained silent, their expressions serious as they stared intently at the opposite side... Only this dwarf general was shouting incessantly.
"The 'Breaking Sky' test ship! Who the hell named it that...? This ship is louder than my uncle's snoring! And where is my captain's cabin?"
Fandral is the leader of the Stormpike clan, and he's not young... The Stormpike dwarves originally came to Alterac Valley to conduct archaeological research; dwarves have always been fond of searching for treasures and minerals... But they unexpectedly encountered the long-established Frostwolf orc clan in the valley...
The Frostwolf orcs hate these invaders, even though they are outsiders themselves.
This land originally belonged to the Kingdom of Alterac...
The Kingdom of Alterac has long since perished, and its original inhabitants have become bandits. Neither the Human Alliance nor the new Horde will accept the remnants of the former Kingdom of Alterac... They are traitors, and they call themselves the Syndicate.
They are usually called exiles or bandits...
Much of the territory in Alterac Valley has been occupied by ogres, and no one has helped them reclaim it; they have to rely on themselves...
......
"Old orc Drek'Thar isn't here, it feels a bit less fun. And your distant relative, Windrunner Sylvanas, a dead woman, has to come and join the fun... I'll make her die again! Men, load up the cannons and charge them! Bomb her! Those Ironforge guys' crude creations should be on the battlefield, what is this if not murdering my soldiers... Or send back more data so they can improve them. How can the reputation of dwarven craftsmen be ruined by a drunkard..."
"But there's one problem: have the mages of Dalaran gone mad? Why are they attacking me?"
"Isn't Dalaran one of us? They've betrayed us? Huh? Someone answer my question! Open fire! Shoot them hard! They're all enemies!"
