Chapter 40 - Joining
…………
Maris Farm, Kristraza answered all of Nathanos' questions.
The human touched his chin with his hand, thinking about the news he had just received - this red dragon was just patrolling with the orc; the red dragon queen was captured; the tribe has a dragon knight, which is a powerful air force that cannot be underestimated.
Look at it; the location is Grim Batol. Nathanos seemed to have heard Goodell mention this place once before, but he didn't pay attention at the time.
Knowing so much, he was suddenly very interested in the question of why the Red Dragon Queen was captured, but Krisstrasa remained tight-lipped and told him nothing, only saying that it was a secret that could not be made public.
After the questioning, Nathanos was considering whether to tell the Alliance the news? But I'm afraid the Alliance wouldn't be able to prepare to face this new threat.
"I have one last question." He turned to the panting red dragon, whose eyes clearly showed displeasure, but she must obey now, otherwise Nathanos will not give her the antidote.
"How many dragon knights do the orcs have now?"
Christasa thought for a while and replied: "Excluding me, there are eight dragon knights, my compatriots Darotaz, Nyasa, and..."
"I'm not interested in their names." Nathanos interrupted her boring answer. All in all, there are not many dragon knights, which is good news, but Nathanos has already seen the power of a red dragon.
He only hoped that other red dragons would not be as powerful as Kristraza.
"This bottle of potion can relieve your symptoms." Nathanos gave a bottle to Krisstrasa, who took it and looked at it carefully. He opened the bottle and smelled it. After making sure there was no problem, he drank the emerald green potion.
down, waiting to regain strength.
"Oh! I'm so sorry, I suddenly remembered that this antidote has a side effect." Nathanos said to Kristraza with a smile on his lips.
"What!" the red dragon was furious. Being teased for the second time made her unable to keep calm. Although Alexstrasza had told her children that as the guardian of life, one must be tolerant enough, but this
It does not mean that others can trample on their dignity at will.
"Mortal, you are playing with fire and burning yourself!" Kristraza felt some strength restored and stood up to transform, wanting to teach Nathanos a lesson, but no matter how she used her magic, it was of no use. "My power!" she said.
He looked at his hands in surprise, the magic power in his body was drying up.
When she raised her head, Nathanos had the arrow pointed at her, and he could shoot her through the throat if he let go.
"The side effect of this antidote is that it will continuously consume the user's magic while detoxifying. I have tried many times to solve this side effect, but now it seems that I have not succeeded. This is thanks to the war that diverted my attention and left me free.
Just concentrate on your potion experiments. If you transform here, my house will suffer."
"You...!" Christasa bit her lip, wary of Nathanos' bow and arrow. "I told you I wouldn't hurt you."
"I have never dealt with dragons, so I won't trust you easily. Who knows if you will eat me in one bite when you grow bigger?" Nathanos put down his bow and arrow. This action made Christasa breathe a sigh of relief.
"What a suspicious little guy." She patted her chest and discovered that the side effects Nathanos mentioned were only temporary. After the magic power was exhausted, she already felt that everything was slowly recovering. "Since you don't believe me,
I will leave here immediately. Although I am angry at you for blaspheming my dignity, but compared to you saving me, this is just a small thing." Kristraza smiled, which surprised Nathanos.
"Where are you going?" he asked. This question just touched Kristraza's heart. Where should she go? Who can tell her? She wanted to save her mother, but the orcs controlled Lian Alek.
A force that even Starza can't resist, what can she do?
"It seems you don't know either."
"I will go and warn other compatriots who have not been caught yet," she said, answering Nathanos and herself. Yes, she must let everyone know the news.
"Please." Nathanos stepped away from the door. His reaction made Kristraza a little confused. The red dragon thought that the human in front of him would stop him, but thinking about it, it was really not necessary. He had already answered all the questions.
Most of the answers to questions and answers were secrets and very important. But she didn't know what the use of the human being in front of her was knowing, but she was very happy to be able to leave now.
"Thank you." The red dragon walked out. She couldn't transform yet and could only remain in this mortal form for the time being. After Kristraza left, Nathanos sighed.
"It's been such a troubled time." He sighed with emotion. The situation was not optimistic. How many secrets did the tribe have that no one knew about?
"etc!"
He was clearing the tableware on the table when the dragon's voice suddenly sounded in his ears again. Kristrasa stood at the door and looked at him.
"You're back again? What happened?"
"I also have important news. I know that humans are fighting against orcs, so I feel the need to tell you." She took a deep breath and said, "The tribe is attacking Eagle's Nest Mountain."
Nathanos narrowed his eyes at her after hearing this. What's important? Why should he tell himself? This guy sees him as the same person as the Alliance?
"Thank you." Nathanos replied. Kristraza saw that he didn't care, so she nodded and turned to leave.
'He should tell his compatriots the news.' The red dragon muttered in his heart, but the humans seemed not to even think about it.
Eagle's Nest Mountain
A few hours after the battle, Kurdran was welcoming the human leaders to his home. Their commander was the tallest man he had ever seen, with a dwarf-like beard and a long nose. He was a natural
Warrior, Kurdran could feel that this man had experienced more battles than he did. His blue eyes remained alert, and the shield and breastplate with a golden lion's head shone with brilliance.
Look at Turalyon again. The human he saved just now looks younger, has no beard, and is not very confident. However, this man can use a hammer as dexterously as a dwarf.
When Kurdran set his sights on Khadgar, he only had two words to evaluate him - calm. From this old man, Kurdran seemed to see his shaman. Maybe he was a shaman, but humans
It seems there has never been a shaman.
'Or maybe other people who are connected to the elements and spirits.' The dwarf leader thought. But it is obvious that this guy wearing a violet robe, a short white beard, and walking like a young man must not be simple.
.
Then there was the elf girl standing at the back, who was beautiful, soft, and had a pair of emerald eyes. Alleria noticed that the dwarf was looking at her and nodded, and smiled back.
Kurdran had rarely seen so many interesting people, and he would be happy no matter the situation. Now, he was happy to get to know these people.
"Welcome," he said to the guests, asking them to sit on the chairs that had been arranged with a gesture. "You are very welcome. We are very worried that those greenskins - the monsters you call orcs will destroy our country.
There were too many of them back home! But your arrival ended that possibility. You drove them out of the Hinterlands, for which we are grateful."
"No need to say thank you." Lothar sat on the chair closest to Kurdran, stretched out his hand to adjust the giant sword hanging behind his back, and went straight to the point. "Are you leading the Eagle's Nest Mountain?" he asked.
"My name is Kurdran Wildhammer." Kurdran replied. "I am also the high lord here, so the Wildhammer dwarves will obey my orders."
"Very good." The warrior nodded. "I am Anduin Lothar, the former general of the Kingdom of Stormwind, and now the commander of the Alliance army." He then briefly explained the issues about the tribe, and then talked about Stormwind City.
encounter, and finally asked: "Will you join us?"
Kurdran frowned and tugged at his beard. "You mean their goal is to conquer the world?"
Lothar nodded and added: "And they also have huge black steel warships that are transporting thousands of soldiers here."
"And they've passed through Khaz Modan?" Kurdran shook his head. "We haven't received any news from our relatives in Ironforge in the past few weeks. I'm also curious why. This just explains this.
everything."
"They surrounded Ironforge, occupied the mines there and made ships." Khadgar said.
"I see." Kurdran bared his teeth. "We have had many conflicts with the Bronzebeard tribe, which is why we left Khaz Modan. But they are still our brothers and our tribe.
No amount of hatred can change this. These filthy creatures, orcs! They attacked them, and now they want to destroy us. It is only because of your timely reinforcements that we survived." He knocked heavily with one hand.
on the arm of his chair. "We join you! We must fight back against these orcs until these Horde are no longer a threat to anyone!" He stood up, holding out his hand. "The Alliance will have the aid of the Wildhammer."
Lothar also stood up, with joy in his serious expression. He held the dwarf's hand tightly. "Thank you." He only said this, but it was enough.
"Fortunately, we have driven them out of the Hinterlands." Turalyon said: "Your hometown is safe."
"That's right." Kurdran agreed. "Indeed, but where will these orcs go next? Will they turn back to Hillsbrad? Or go directly to Lordaeron? Or go north and take them dirty
Dirty companions together?”
Maybe he said something wrong. Suddenly, his new allies jumped up from their chairs. "What did you say?" Alleria asked. "North?"
Maris Farm
Nathanos stared at the map of New Terland, which he copied from the collection of the Library of Lordaeron several years ago.
"The Hinterlands." Nathanos muttered. He initially thought that the tribe simply wanted to stabilize the rear, but the Wildhammer dwarves did not join the alliance and would not take the initiative to attack the tribe. So his thoughts
It's wrong.
"What will the Horde get after taking the Hinterlands?" Nathanos asked himself. "Gryphons? But they already have red dragons as their air force, so... wait... red dragons!" Nathanos asked.
Turning his attention to another map, there is his home - Marris Farm, which is also where Krisstrasa appears!
"Why did the dragon appear here when the tribe attacked?"
The map showed that they would reach the Soldori River through the Hinterlands, very close to Marris Farm. He looked upwards and traced the possible route of the tribe: "North? Are they going to Quel'Thalas?
"
