The 3877th Chapter Three Alliance War (1)

The main castle of Stormwind City Fortress, this huge fortress built on the cliffs at the edge of the city is located in the northwest of the city, guarding Stormwind City so condescendingly! At the same time, it also demonstrates the supreme power and status of kings and nobles.

Here, it is not only an important fortress to defend Stormwind City, but also the residence of members of Stormwind City's royal family and some important nobles. Of course, it is also the most important center that governs the city of Stormwind and the Kingdom of Stormwind!

However, now the sky has gradually brightened...

Last night, dozens of people, including kings, nobles, military and political senators or generals, who came here in the middle of the night to hold an emergency meeting and discuss countermeasures, were still arguing loudly and arguing in the king's meeting hall. A reasonable final conclusion was not reached.

And the reason why they are here is because last night, the agents of MI7 who were performing special missions in the Western Wilderness urgently sent back some very important and exciting news from Stormwind City:

First: The Defias Brotherhood in the West Wilderness revived again. After a few years, the daughter of Edwin Van Cleef who finally appeared—Vanessa Van Cleef, she reorganized the riot organization and made it Carry forward!

The intelligence agents of MI7 estimated that in the next three to seven days, after the weapons and equipment were delivered, a large-scale armed uprising was about to break out in the western wilderness, the large granary of the Stormwind Kingdom!

Those members of the Defias Brotherhood who shouted "Kill the nobles, divide the land, and pay less taxes" are a huge threat to the security and rule of the Stormwind Kingdom! But now, in the western wilderness, the military strength of the Stormwind Kingdom is extremely weak, and the western people's army formed by the paladin Gryan Stallman is seriously insufficient and lacks training. The success rate of successfully quelling the New Defias Brotherhood is very low. Low……

Second: The leader of SI:7, Master Assassin Mathias Shaw, was unfortunately killed when he attacked the food delivery team of the New Defias Brotherhood in the northwest region of Dimont in Westfall... along with the eighty who were present at the time. The rest of the SI:7 agents were also honorably killed!

Third: The queen of the Flame Kingdom, the little girl of the demigod Anne Hasta appeared at the scene where Mathias was killed! This strong man who created the Flame Alliance, defeated the Scourge of the undead and repelled the polluter Archimonde seems to have reappeared in the world of Azeroth after several years of disappearance! Moreover, her appearance directly led to the defection and treason of the arcane archmage Kom...

"..."

King Varian Wrynn looked at the nobles, parliamentarians and military generals who were still arguing with a headache. It has been a few hours since they received the news late last night and urgently arranged this meeting, but...they still haven't discussed an effective solution.

And, by the looks of it, it certainly wouldn't be a good idea in the end?

So after thinking about it, Varian had to sigh, got up and left his throne, walked to the big window of the king's meeting hall, and silently looked at the misty scenery in the morning light outside the window.

Here is his Stormwind City...

Although the sun has not officially risen in the morning, smoke has already started to rise from the tops of the buildings in the city, and the citizens of Stormwind City are already preparing to start a new day with the ringing of the morning bell. life and work... Looking from a distance, the number of pedestrians on the street is gradually increasing, and there are some carriages rushing to and fro from time to time, so that the neighing of the poor horses can be faintly heard... This city, it has now begun woke up.

Warri feels a little proud. Their Stormwind City is not only a prosperous and beautiful city, but also the economic, political and cultural center of the entire kingdom and even the entire Stormwind Alliance. Back then, after the war and destruction by the orcs in the second war, it was full of broken eaves and broken walls. After being rebuilt, it has become more magnificent than before!

It can be said,

It is now the most dazzling pearl in the world of Azeroth! Even, it is far more magnificent and magnificent than the original largest Lordaeron royal city in the north!

However, with all the things happening in the western wilderness now, when he looked at this beautiful city, he always felt that there seemed to be a lingering haze over it...

With the terrain of the Stormwind Castle Fortress, Varian's window could have a vague view of the Valley of Heroes to the south of Stormwind... and today's weather is so clear that those in the distance The huge statues can be clearly seen by him.

He knew that standing there were the five heroes of the Dark Portal Expedition: Prince Danas Trollbane from the kingdom of Stormgard, and Alleria from the kingdom of the high elves in Quel'Thalas. Windrunner, General Turalyon of the former Kingdom of Lordaeron, Kurdran Wildhammer of Eagle's Nest Mountain, and Khadgar of Dalaran...

In this idle stall, Varian Wrynn even had time to think maliciously, if those five heroes who they thought had all died and erected statues to commemorate them returned to the world of Azeroth again, I am afraid that apart from Danas Trollbane, the prince of the Stormgard Kingdom, who they can fight for, the other four will definitely part ways with the Stormwind Kingdom, right?

If it really comes to that time...

These statues of heroes of the enemy country may not be suitable to stand there... Then, as the king, Varian, will he order to be torn down...or not to be toppled? This matter, let alone the future, just let him think about it now, it feels very embarrassing!

"..."

"Your Majesty, things are very troublesome now, and it may be difficult to find a perfect solution in a short time, so... maybe you can go back and rest for a while?"

At this time, the grand duke Bolvar Fortagen, who did not participate in the fierce quarrels among those people, wiped the sweat from his head as if he had fought a battle, and walked to Wali who was standing in front of the window looking at the scenery and dazed. Beside King An, he persuaded the other party.

"No, they are coming to the result soon, just wait..."

Varian shook his head, rejecting the duke's offer.

"Bolvar, tell me, we killed that Edwin Van Cleef a few years ago, but now there is another Vanessa Van Cleef...Did we really do something wrong with the stonemasons union? ?”

Looking at this huge and prosperous city, and thinking that it was actually built by those stonemasons' unions and Van Cleef, Varian couldn't help but sighed again, feeling extremely uncomfortable as if a boulder was stuck in his chest .

Once upon a time, he always thought that after he personally wiped out the Defias Brotherhood and captured that Edwin Van Cleef and beheaded it for public display, this matter might be completely exposed, and no one would ever bring it up again... But who would have thought that after six years, this matter would ferment again, and it would become more serious?

Thinking about Edwin's daughter mentioned in the information, that Vanessa VanCleef who had a deep hatred with them in Stormwind City, Varian felt a headache.

If the matter between their Stormwind Kingdom and the Stonemasons Guild can be explained, then the relationship between the Stormwind Kingdom and the leader of the New Defias Brotherhood, Vanessa, is a bloody feud. , there is absolutely no possibility of any relaxation!

"Your Majesty the King!"

"Please don't mess yourself up! The matter is not that serious now, and neither of us was wrong back then, but it was the nasty black dragon princess Onyxia who got in the way and confused us And provoked the relationship between the two parties!"

Bolvar, who knew in his heart what His Majesty King Varian was thinking, hurriedly spoke out to comfort him.

These things, after smashing the black dragon's conspiracy last year, exposing the identity of the Countess Katrana Prestor and driving away the other party, they have analyzed and discussed various things in these years in private. The history of the riots of the stonemasons union. Thinking of the active countess back then, they estimated that everything was the black dragon's conspiracy!

Maybe, the death of Queen Tiffin might have something to do with that black dragon?

Originally, as the deceived Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon, he wanted to gather warriors to go to Dustwallow Marsh to attack Onyxia's lair last year and destroy the black dragon! However, when the Ahn'Qiraj, the Flame Alliance in the north, and the Outlands happened one after another, all his plans had to be interrupted, and a certain hateful black dragon princess had to survive until now...

However, their Stormwind Alliance captured the Blackwing Lair in Blackrock Mountain at any rate, and drove away the Black Dragon Prince who was inseparable from the other end!

"Forget it, what you said makes sense, so don't think about those troublesome things!"

"It's been so long, now, how are those people discussing? Is there any effective way to deal with the matter of the New Defias Brotherhood?"

Even as a king, there are some things that Varian can't do whatever he wants! Just like now, a series of things have happened, one is more difficult and more difficult to deal with, if he handles it alone, it may cause a big mess!

This is like the matter of the New Defias Brotherhood. If Varian is allowed to handle it himself, he will definitely lead the army to the Westfall and kill all the rebels who are about to rebel. Or grab them, and then at least win internal peace for the Stormwind Kingdom for several years?

Although this method does not look very good, it is indeed the best way to solve the problem! But... when he said it last night, he was severely rejected by a group of generals and members of parliament...

That's because most of the main force of the Stormwind Kingdom has gone to the Outlands and the Northern Expedition in the north. If the few remaining troops in Stormwind City were to be mobilized to go to the Western Wilderness, it might be useless to send fewer people. Probably not enough to kill the Defias Brotherhood! And if most of the elite troops in Stormwind City are sent out, who will defend the city at that time? And who will protect the property and personal safety of Stormwind City and the nobles? !

Although they all support Varian, His Majesty the King, it doesn't mean that they are willing to put their property, family and the capital of the kingdom in danger!

You must know that once there is a problem with the city defense forces of Stormwind City, maybe some hostile forces or those from the Flame Alliance in the north will risk sending some elite troops over, even if they cannot completely occupy Stormwind City, at least they will be able to take over Stormwind City. destroyed?

Moreover, the Flame Alliance is not the only force that wants to attack Stormwind City!

Those Blackrock orc remnants who were driven away from Blackrock Mountain by their Stormwind Kingdom, those two terrifying black dragons, those goblins and even various pirates, etc., once they find that Stormwind City's defense force is insufficient and there are loopholes, those who see the money Guy, surely he would pounce on him like a shark smelling blood and bite fiercely a few times?

Therefore, before the Northern Expedition or the return of the army from Outland, no one can move the troops of Stormwind City!

"Hmph! As for their group of cowardly nobles, what can they do?"

"You may not know, about Vanessa? The Western People's Army of the other party will deal with it, at most, Stormwind City will provide some weapons and equipment and military instructors, as for money and food, they will not even give out a copper coin or a grain of food!"

Thinking of those greedy and stingy nobles and members of the parliament, Bolvar also shrugged helplessly, and then stood beside Varian, shoulder to shoulder, watching the scenery outside the window silently.

Now, on the eastern horizon in the distance, a red light gradually lights up, illuminating half of the sky red... Obviously, they have successfully dawdled here for half the night, and now, a new day is finally coming. here we go.

"According to the result of their discussion, we don't need to do anything now... If that old paladin can defeat or resist those Defias Brotherhood riots, that would be the best! You know, wait until we draw After the troops come back, those rebels will definitely not be able to do anything!"

"And what I'm more worried about is... how many members of the Flame Alliance participated? The Flame Queen, is she really back... and why did she appear in the West Wilderness again?"

"Obviously, a powerful demigod mage is extremely terrifying to us!"

"In fact, if I can confirm that the other party has really reappeared and is in the western wilderness, then I also tend to protect myself first, and I can't just send out the few remaining troops in Stormwind City."

Thinking of the mighty Flame Queen mixing with Vanessa VanCleef and the Defias Brotherhood, Bolvar would have headaches... Now that the opponent has troops and super-high-level combat power, this battle is really not worth it. No way!

If he was really asked to lead all the elites in Stormwind City to the Western Wilderness to face a powerful mage and a group of mobs, he felt that his chances of winning might not be too high.

Looking at the current warriors or mages in Stormwind City, they couldn't even do anything to the black dragon back then. Instead, they let the other party wreak havoc and escape calmly... But now, a demigod mage who may be stronger than the black dragon princess, What can he do with Bolvar?

Therefore, he feels that the best choice now is to withdraw the army, and to fight against the outside world must first secure the inside! But if that's the case, will the Northern Expedition, which is about to be victorious, still be fought? Regarding the matter of Outland, should the large territories occupied and the Burning Legion continue to resist?

"Ha! Bolvar, this is not like you!"

"That demigod mage who looks like a little girl may be really powerful, I admit it! However, the facts have proved that no matter how powerful an existence is, it can be killed!"

"Think about the wilderness gods of the night elves, Cenarius, the demigod of the jungle, he was hacked to death by the orc sword master? Look at the more powerful one, Archimonde, the polluter of the Burning Legion , was it not the same as being defeated and killed by our coalition forces on Mount Hyjal?"

"So, Bovar, you have to relax, the left and right are just a demigod mage, at most it will be difficult to deal with, and there will be no major problems!"

Patting Bolvar's solid shoulder, Varian himself laughed first. Because, it was supposed to be the other party who came to comfort me, why now, instead, I am trying to persuade the other party by myself?

"By the way, the battle in the north...are these guys still unwilling to retreat now?"

Like Bolvar's wishes, since there are problems within the Kingdom of Stormwind and the reappearance of a Queen of the Kingdom of Fire, Varian himself is more inclined to end the war in the north early and maintain the current situation for the time being. Let it go as soon as you see it, and wait for the situation to become clear before making other plans?

"You also want to retreat... I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

"You also know that although the night elves want to be on guard against the Horde, so they didn't send more troops to the Northern Expedition...but the draenei who newly joined our alliance, they have already decided to send a powerful man like the Holy Spirit Naaru, who is like a god of light, and a large number of paladins and priests, the powerful army is enough for our Northern Expedition to defeat the defenses of the Silver Hand paladins!"

"At this time, their spaceship must have landed on the front line of Nanhai Town, right?"

"So...Your Majesty, think about it. Seeing that the entire continent is about to be acquired, with such great benefits, do you think those nobles will choose to stop at this time?"

Smiling and looking at the red sun gradually rising in the distance, Bolvar heartily joked to Varian, his majesty the king and good friend.

Victory is about to come. A whole piece of the former Lordaeron continent, so many unowned lands, minerals and other huge benefits are in front of us. Even Bolvar is a little tempted, so don't even propose to do it. The group of nobles.

And this is why those guys are trying to sit back and watch the situation in the western wilderness worsen, and they want to take the north first!

"well……"

"I always feel that things may not go well... Moreover, those naaru, those living creatures like holy light gods, they appear in our alliance, I always feel... this does not seem to be a good thing !"

That's right, now Varian is a little afraid of those naaru!

Think about them humans, almost all of them believe in the Holy Light... Then the question arises: If one day, those naaru, let the people of their Stormwind Kingdom do something that violates the king's order, what will they do then?

A living divine creature of the Holy Light appeared in a kingdom that believed in the Holy Light. Varian couldn't imagine what a challenge it would be to the kingship of the Stormwind Kingdom!

Although it may not have much impact in the short term, what about decades or hundreds of years from now? At that time, who should the Kingdom of Stormwind listen to?

At that time, those Naru, who want to slowly lift the kingship of a country, it will not be too easy! He knew that among those draenei, except for the demon-like draenei prophet and the spokesperson Velen, Naaru should have the final say...

This thing is terrible! Anyway, Varian hasn't found a suitable solution so far.

"Haha! Varian...you are finally mature! It seems that those days when you were a gladiator still had a great influence on you!"

"It's good that you can think of this! However, I can't give you too many suggestions... You must know that in this world of Azeroth, we cannot do without the Holy Light, and we need the Holy Light to help us resist evil And defeat those powerful enemies! However, the balance between theocracy and kingship, this is a philosophical issue, you can only experience it slowly and handle the relationship between the two parties!"

If it is an ordinary person, they may really dare not say such a thing to the king! However, he, Bolvar Fordragon, is not only the Grand Duke of Stormwind City, but also the Regent of the Stormwind Kingdom, so it is just right for him to say these words! Of course, he can only point to the end, and he can't talk too much!

After all, Bolvar not only believes in the Holy Light, but is also a glorious paladin who uses the power of the Holy Light. If he were to speak ill of the Naaru behind his back, it would really be against his belief , Then, does he still want the holy light, and does he still want to be a paladin?

And if you think about it carefully, besides learning the way of warrior, the current Prince Anduin is also learning the way of the Holy Light, and those naaru...

Well, this was a very serious and serious question, and he couldn't think about it any longer!

"I will……"

After Varian's eyes flickered and changed for a while, he began to nod and ponder.

Compared to the Paladin Grand Duke Bolvar, Varian is a warrior, and he doesn't have as many scruples about the church and the Holy Light as the other party! However, the holy light is of great use to him, whether it is to calm people's hearts, maintain stability, or the power of those paladins and priests, he needs...

Anyway, this matter can't be cleared up in a short time! At most, his attitude should be firmer in the future, don't let those nasty naaru creatures set foot on the land of Stormwind Kingdom! It's none of Varian's business for them to spread the word or recruit believers, or to confuse people, as long as they don't come to Stormwind Kingdom to be an eyesore!

"Then there is only one last thing left now: is there a suitable successor for MI7 about Matthias Shaw?"

SI:7 is very important to the Stormwind Kingdom, and to Varian, the king! It is their eyes and the protruding blade, and this time, being able to send back so many important information in time also proves the necessity of its existence!

Although Mathias Shaw's death made Varian a little sad, but there are still some things that should be done. MI7 must not be paralyzed, let alone collapsed! They must find a reliable and capable person to take over in time, and the sooner the better.

"Of course, I have just received the news that an excellent candidate came forward last night and successfully took over SI7! Your Majesty, why don't you guess... who will it be?"

Bolvar was also very worried about the matter of MI7, and planned to let the king send his own people to take over as soon as possible. However, after a message from one of his subordinates just now, he was finally completely relieved, so now he is also in the mood to play guessing games with the king.

"..."

However, Varian, who didn't sleep all night and was entangled in all kinds of troubles, was not interested in playing such riddles with the other party. He just looked straight at the Grand Duke next to him, hoping that the other party would not No more wasting time in this place.

"Okay... the person who took over is Pasonia Shaw!"

Seeing the majestic and impatient stare of His Majesty the King, Bolvar could only directly mention the new leader of SI:7 without interest. Now, no one can reassure him more than this person taking over SI7, and at the same time, it can also guarantee that this organization will not have any problems due to the temporary change of generals.

"Pasonia Shaw..."

"She is... wait! Is it her? But...she is so old, how can she pay back?"

As soon as he heard that the successor was from the Shaw family again, Varian felt a little dissatisfied in his heart! At that moment, he even thought that the other party was a junior from the Mathias family! Just now, he was even thinking about whether he should find a way to replace the other party. After all, SI:7, an important institution of the Stormwind Kingdom, has been in the hands of the Shaw family all along. That is not a good idea!

However, when he came back to his senses and finally understood the meaning of the name Pasonia, he turned his head in amazement and looked at the Grand Duke Bolvar, who had a face of course.

"That's right! It's her, and she's back now! Your Majesty, don't you think that in order to avenge her grandson, she must work harder than ordinary people and be more appropriate?"

The founder of MI7 took over MI7 again, so that neither the agents in the organization nor the upper echelons of the kingdom would have much opinion! No matter how you look at it, at this critical moment in front of you, there is indeed no one better than her.

If you want to replace it, get through the current difficulty first, and it will not be too late to change after everything subsides!

"But, she is very old now..."

After thinking silently for a while, Varian still felt that the other party's age might not be suitable for this position. They are so old, and let people return to the head of MI7. If people who don't know the situation see it, they will think that their Stormwind Kingdom has no more people!

"Your Majesty, please believe me! Although Pasonia is indeed a bit old, if she wants to assassinate me, maybe... I won't be able to sleep all night!"

Azeroth is a magical world. For the powerful, as long as the strength does not slip, age does not matter! Maybe, there is a way for Pasonia to live to be one or two hundred years old?

"No way... is she really that powerful?!"

"Please believe me, Your Majesty...she will only be more powerful than you imagined!!"

"..."

————

"Sister Lana, I don't understand..."

"Why does Her Majesty still look like that eight-year-old child? And let me call her a sister with a serious face... This is really against the law, so embarrassing..."

Early in the morning, in the Dimont Wilderness, in the secret valley farm estate of the Defias Brotherhood, Vanessa Van Cleef was propping her chin up, lying down in depression beside a wooden table in the courtyard.

And now, Her Majesty Queen Anne of their Flame Alliance is no longer here!

After meeting with Vanessa and staying here for one night, Her Majesty Queen Anne hastily teleported back to the north early this morning, leaving only the arcane magician who was enslaved by the contract Kom came to her Vanessa's favor, trying to get a little more trouble for Stormwind here in Westfall.

"Okay, little Vanessa..."

"Anyway, Her Majesty Queen Anne has gone back now, so you don't have to worry about these little things anymore! After all, when Her Majesty the Queen met you, you were still a dirty little one!"

Lana couldn't help laughing when she heard that the little guy who was brought back by Her Majesty the Queen had now turned into a big girl.

She still remembers what happened back then, she, Her Majesty's maid, bathed her! At that time, this little Vanessa looked thin and frail, almost skinny, so pitiful!

"I'm really worried about the north now, and I don't know what's going on with the battle..."

"You also know, said the archmage Kom: those draenei who look like demons seem to have dispatched a large number of powerful paladins and priests, plus a pure holy light creature similar to a god Lu participated in the battle against our Flame Alliance, if the battle situation turns out to be bad, then we will really be homeless!"

That's right, it was because a certain surrendered archmage gave away all the information. After he sold all the military secrets of the Stormwind Kingdom, Annie would only meet Vanessa in this small farm. They stayed for one night, and after the addiction of making Vanessa, who was taller than themselves, honestly call her sister a few times, they hurriedly teleported back to the northern continent of Lordaeron in the early morning of the next day. .

Because, a certain Her Majesty is actually very worried herself, and also afraid that her own city of flames will be taken over by the enemy!

Therefore, apart from Vanessa, Lana, Lana's foot-scratching warrior brother Pete, and a certain archmage who had to succumb to power, there are not many reliable people here in the western wilderness. Great help.

"Then we have to work harder! According to the departure date of the fleet mentioned by Her Majesty, I think that those damned goblin fleets will arrive at the west coast in three to five days at most. Then, wait until our army is deployed When it's over, let's set off and directly conquer the entire West Wilderness!"

"Then, go directly north to attack Stormwind City! If you have the opportunity, bombard or burn it! By then, I believe, their army will definitely withdraw from the north!"

Vanessa stood up suddenly, waved her fists and shouted confidently! She believes that with her current strength, she can definitely do this!

Because now, in addition to two powerful mages and a useless warrior commander, she is about to usher in a large group of goblin pirates, plus two alliance prisoners who escaped from Outland and a powerful orc shaman ?

Vanessa has already figured it out, when the time comes, she will let those orcs take the lead, and together with them kill the old paladin Gryan who is in the way, and publicize the fact that the orc shaman is helping her army !

At that time, when their Stormwind Kingdom knew that a high-ranking orc had teamed up with the Flame Alliance to attack Westfall, and would also attack Stormwind City together, their expressions would definitely be very exciting, right?

After all, I want to return to Azeroth again, and I can finish it if I want to, at least until Sargeras is begging for help. , until the time when the planet is forcibly inserted... the number of words may be a bit long, I want to write more carefully, don't say I'm stupid~
