Khaz Modan

Under Lothar's orders, Nathanos, Kurdran and Alleria set out for Dun Morogh. Like Alterac, it is also a land of ice and snow, but Kurdran explained that there is rarely bad weather here.

Nathanos noticed that every time he mentioned Ironforge, he would be very proud and couldn't stop smiling, but once he mentioned the Bronzebeard dwarves, he would immediately have a straight face and a serious expression.

"To be honest, I never thought it would be like this." Kurdran sat at the front of the gryphon's back, followed by Nathanos and Alleria Skyare behind him. The speed was very fast, and Kurdran had to

Raise your voice so that the people behind you can hear you.

So did Nathanos, who asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why just the three of us? I thought I could take my other brothers to Ironforge with me. This is different from what we agreed in advance." The dwarf continued to complain, but unlike before, Nathanos did not refute.

He, on the contrary, laughed at himself: "There are still many things that are different from what was agreed in advance." As soon as he finished speaking, Nathanos suddenly felt a strong pinch on his waist.

Alleria reached out from behind and hugged the human in front. In order to avoid falling, she clasped her fingers tightly and pressed her face against Nathanos' back. The environment where the high elves lived was warm and comfortable, so facing the world of ice and snow,

Even when the sun was shining brightly, she felt uncomfortable. She didn't say a word on the way, trying to tighten her body to get warmth. But what Nathanos said just now was basically directed at her, so the female elf vented her dissatisfaction vigorously.

"What's going on?" Kurdran heard a painful sound coming from Nathanos's mouth and thought something unusual had happened.

"It's nothing!" The human gritted his teeth and rubbed the painful area with his right hand, but accidentally touched Alleria's hand. It's so cold! Nathanos muttered in his heart, and he subconsciously held it tightly around his waist.

Alleria blushed and wanted to shrink back, but she didn't act.

"How long do we have until we arrive?" Nathanos asked. Kurdran pulled the reins and looked down, and finally said: "We are just over the mountain in front, but the situation below does not seem to be very good.

good."

The human looked down and saw that there were many small black spots on the white ground below, and they were mainly concentrated at the foot of the mountain.

"It's an orc!" Alleria's voice was very soft, but the two people in front could hear it.

Kurdran kicked Skyre and signaled the gryphon to speed up. "It doesn't matter, they can't hit us."

"Those orcs shouldn't be warriors." Nathanos observed for a while before raising his head. "They should be mining."

Kurdran nodded in agreement. The rugged snowy mountains of Dun Morogh provide the dwarves with endless ore. From Ironforge to the depths of the mountains of Khaz Modan, to the forges of Coldridge Valley, there is abundance everywhere.

Mineral deposits. He had seen an orc ship before and recognized at a glance that it was made of the ores here.

As Skarei let out a piercing roar, Kurdran pointed downwards excitedly and shouted: "We're here!"

Nathanos glanced at it, then turned his head and said to Alleria behind him: "It should be warmer inside the fortress." The female elf opened her eyes and looked over Nathanos's right shoulder, because Skare was approaching

Gliding down, Alleria could easily see the city, but she suspected that she had seen it wrong. Near the top of the mountain in front, there were some polished boulders embedded in the ridge behind, with a huge skylight above.

A short staircase leads to the top of the stone wall. At the end of the stairs are two huge stone doors, on which are carved a statue of a dwarf holding a warhammer high. There is a magnificent curved arch above the door, with a heavy anvil carved inside.

This is an awe-inspiring sight - the entrance to Ironforge. Alleria was very surprised. When she came here, the surrounding environment made her wonder if there was really a race that could breed civilization in such an environment?

Of course the Alterac people can do it, but Ironforge's mere gate outshines Alterac. Even the ornately decorated gates in Silvermoon City are not so grand. The female elves began to look forward to the gates of Ironforge.

The world inside.

These heavy doors were closed tightly, and there was no visible entrance next to them. However, there were tall watchtowers on both sides of the door, and relying on the dangerous terrain, the dwarves seemed to have established a position outside. When Skare was still far from the ground

When they were two hundred meters away, the bronzebeard dwarves guarding the outside immediately spotted them.

"Back off!"

"Careful! This is a big guy."

"She's so pretty, isn't she? Well! I meant the gryphon, not the bearded guy on her."

…

General Skyree was in the center of the dwarf camp, and the guards immediately surrounded him, pointing their weapons at these uninvited guests, especially Kurdran, who looked like a Wildhammer at first sight.

A dwarf officer came over and shouted: "Raise your hands, outsiders. This is Ironforge!"

"Shut your mouth, or I'll let Skare bite your head off." Kurdran scolded in the purest dwarf language. Alleria couldn't understand what he was saying, but such a tense situation had already

It shows that the two parties did not have a pleasant conversation.

"Where is Magni? Has he been baked into a pie by the flames of the furnace?"

"That's enough!" Nathanos stopped him and took a step forward to bow to the dwarf commander in front of him. "I am Nathanos Maris, the messenger of the Alliance. This is King Kurdran of the Eagle's Nest Mountain.

, this one is Alleria Windrunner, the ranger general of Quel'Thalas. We don't mean to offend, but we have something important to meet with King Magni."

"What?" When the dwarf officer heard the name Kurdran, he immediately went berserk and drew the weapon from his back and pointed it at the owner of the gryphon. "Kurdran of Eagle's Nest Mountain? I've heard of you, the leader of the Wildhammer, you.

The barbarians dare to come here, do you plan to take this human and this elf to take back Ironforge?"

"Say it again!" Kurdran held the Storm Hammer and prepared to teach this ignorant Bronzebeard a lesson. Nathanos immediately stopped him, frowned and said, "Don't forget the purpose of our coming here, Kurdran."

The leader of Eagle's Nest Mountain breathed heavily, looked at the dwarf and nodded unwillingly, curled his lips and retreated to Scarei's side. He took out the dried meat and fed it to his treasure, not forgetting to look back and glare at the dwarf.

Nathanos sighed and said again: "Please don't mind, friend. But I don't want to repeat our purpose again. We need to meet King Magni now."

"Why do you want to see Magni?"

"I'm here to help the Bronzebeard dwarves. I believe you are in urgent need of help now."

The dwarf officer glanced back and forth at the three of them. He needed to carefully consider whether he should trust this human, mainly Kurdran. This Wildhammer dwarf was the enemy of the Bronzebeard tribe. The scene suddenly fell into a stalemate, until a voice sounded.

.

"Nathanos!"

The humans followed the sound, and another dwarf walked through the crowd. He was wearing a helmet and holding a hammer for making weapons. Although his face could not be seen, Nathanos immediately recognized who he was.

.The human ran over excitedly, and so did the dwarf.

"Gudel!" Nathanos knelt down and hugged the dwarf. His mentor took off his helmet and threw it aside, laughing, completely speechless.

"I thought I would never see you again." Nathanos looked straight at Goodell and looked at him carefully to make sure he was not injured or anything.

"I didn't expect to see you here either!" Goodell said loudly, as if he were a relative. "Why are you here? And you are sitting on the back of a gryphon."

Nathanos paused for a moment, then sighed. How could what happened be explained in just a few words? Moreover, their time was limited. Lothar's army should be arriving at the Burning Plains soon. "I'm here to see Mag.

Ni, in his capacity as Alliance courier."

Goodell nodded. He knew that Nathanos must have something important to do here. He turned to his commander. "Carlisle, they want to see the king, we should let them pass."

The officer named Carlisle put away his weapon and said to Goodell: "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with them, brother?"

"Of course!" Goodell promised, looking at Nathanos again, "This is my apprentice, and I know him very well."

Apprentice Carlisle looked Nathanos up and down and nodded, "Yeah! He's a practical little guy. It would be better if he wasn't with Wildhammer."

Kurdran pretended not to hear these words, but his face twitched.

"The Wildhammer is better than those orcs." Goodell pointed out. Carlisle was right after thinking about it, and Nathanos said that he was here to help Ironforge.

"Okay, the alert is off!" Carlisle shouted. The surrounding dwarves dispersed with discussion and returned to their posts.

"Open the door!" Carlisle shouted to Ironforge. As if the door could understand his orders, it began to make a rumbling sound and slowly moved to both sides. A burst of hot air blew out, making Alleria feel more comfortable.

.

"Follow me! You three." Carlisle extended his hand to Nathanos.

"Three?" Kurdran finally couldn't help it, "I won't leave Skyre here." He glared at Carlisle angrily, but the other person looked at him like an idiot. Aurelie

Ya covered his mouth to hold back his smile, and Nathanos shook his head helplessly. Carlisle meant that Kurdran and Skyare must stay here, and the third person who wanted to follow him was Goodall. But if

Tell Kurdran that he misunderstood, and I am afraid that the gryphon knight will leave immediately. So Nathanos said: "Kurdran, Skare should have a rest. Please go and investigate the orcs around here."

situation, we need to understand their movements."
