Menethil's Power

Chapter 92 Meeting
The meeting between Lothar and Magni Bronzebeard was serious and formal, and both sides acted in a straightforward style, so the alliance was quickly finalized.

"The Bronzebeard dwarves will keep their promise. We will send our bravest warriors against the Horde and keep the mountains of Khaz Modan safe." Magni Bronzebeard assured: "We will guard Grim Batol with all our might, Once there is any change in the orcs, we will try our best to stop and pass the news to you."

Lothar nodded, this is the issue he is most concerned about, and it is also the key to helping the copper beard dwarves.Giant dragons are the well-deserved overlords of Azeroth. Even though the Dragon Roar clan can only control some defective products, they are still not existences that most alliance soldiers can confront head-on.

The alliance's ground troops can hardly pose a great threat to the dragoons. The battle of the king's city is just a special case of surprise. When the opponent already knows the tomahawk-style blade thrower, mobilizing this clumsy siege weapon on a large scale will only lead to a large-scale attack. Adding to the record of the Dragonmaw orcs.

Considering that Grim Batol's rugged mountains are completely unable to accommodate the entry and exit of large-scale troops, Lothar can fully imagine what kind of casualties it will take to win this land where the Dragonmaw clan is stationed.

Therefore, attacking Grim Batol is completely inconsistent with the alliance's strategic intentions, so Lothar skipped it, and only let the Wildhammer dwarves entangle the dragoons, forming a counterbalance to the air power of both sides, and using the time they bought to crush the Horde's ground as soon as possible strength.

But there was such a threatening enemy-occupied land behind the troops, Lothar always felt stuck in his throat, so the proposal of the copperbeard dwarves was like sending charcoal in the snow, which greatly relieved the worries of the alliance army.

This epic meeting was interrupted suddenly halfway through, and Bryan rushed in, "The great artisan Mekkatorque has arrived with the dwarves."

Magni nodded without the slightest surprise, apparently Mekkatorque had already contacted the dwarf king. "Gnomes are the natural allies of the dwarves," Magni explained to Lothar. "They are short in stature, but very friendly and proficient in engineering."

Lothar nodded, of course he had heard of this race.

So the two-party meeting turned into a three-party meeting. The great craftsman Mekkatorque manipulated his mechanical chocobo and walked in. He waved his mechanical arm to Magni, and then nodded to Isaacs, "See you I'm so happy, old man." The high artisan said to Magni; "Gnomeregan has some troubles, and I have to bring the rest of my tribe to join you. There is no other place for gnomes in Azeroth. gone."

"Ironforge is always open to all dwarves." Magni replied: "Gnomes can get an independent area in Ironforge. As long as I am the king of iron and copper beard, your stability will be guaranteed. .”

The great craftsman nodded very moved, and there seemed to be a tear in the corner of his eye.

Isaacs suddenly spoke up. He had been listening to the talks between the two parties before, without saying a word, "Lordaeron can also help, and the dwarves can get a piece of fertile land there, enough to accommodate the entire group." He said seriously.

Don't look at these half-person tall little Douding who are in a mess now, but they are the main bearers of the alliance's technology later on. Among other things, the floating battleship alone is enough to change the current situation of the war, so Isaacs hopes to be able to To bring the relationship between Lordaeron and dwarves closer, it is best to set up a "dwarf area" in the Royal City of Lordaeron like the dwarf area of ​​​​Stormwind City.

The great craftsman was completely unexpected about Isaacs's sloppy guts. He was almost speechless, but after organizing his words, he unexpectedly rejected the human prince's proposal, "I am very grateful that you have such a Suggestion, child, but Lordaeron is too far away after all, and my people can't bear more bumps." He said tactfully: "And we hope to be closer to Gnomeregan."

Isaacs was a little disappointed, but he still expressed his understanding, "Then please allow Lordaeron to help its friends as much as we can. We can provide enough living supplies and buildings to help the gnomes settle down quickly." This proposal is better than nothing, But at least it can get a good impression.

The great craftsman nodded, and turned to look at Anduin Lothar, "I'm sorry that I can't provide support, but you can also see that my race is going through the greatest disaster in history, and I really can't send people." He apologized Said: "But we will provide all our combat machines to help the alliance win."

After the meeting was over, Isaacs walked out of the meeting room, and as expected, he saw his preliminary team members, who obviously came with the dwarves.The old god Squall was meditating with his eyes closed on the ground, the three paladins were talking in a low voice, and Valeera, the only female member, was actually playing Hearthstone with Ronin.

The female elf thief drew cards with one hand, and played with her dagger with the other. The dagger fluttered up and down like a butterfly, and the blade shone with a cold light.Judging from Luo Ning's expression, he was under a lot of psychological pressure.

Sure enough, it is scientifically reasonable for the stalker's skill to be set to "turning knife".Looking at them, Isaacs suddenly felt itchy. Since the beginning of the war, he has basically never played this game that filled him with memories. Now it seems that the mages in the Dalaran headquarters are not lazy, and the impact of the war has been very serious. Limited, they rolled out the new version as planned.

Isaacs walked forward, just in time to see Luo Ning being taken away by a set of shadow strikes, the mage had an unbelievable expression on his face, and slammed the cards in his hand, "Again!" Luo Ning's delicate face seemed to be distorted, quite Some gnashing of teeth.

"You have no chance. Hearthstone is not a real battle. A mage with pure magic will die miserably." Isaacs hit unceremoniously and pushed Ronin, "Let me show you the real technology."

Valeera gave Isaacs a playful look, "Don't cry when you lose!" She said with a rare teaser, seeming to be in a good mood.

"Return the words, ma'am." Of course Isaacs will not weaken his momentum, he showed a smirk, "I use the new profession paladin."

After 3 minutes, Valeera's original good mood disappeared. She looked at Isaacs' follower named "Mysterious Challenger" on the field, and then at Isaacs' paladin hero with halos on his head. , "This is what you call technology?" the female elf asked angrily.

Isaacs shrugged.

Valeera sighed resignedly, and let her only entourage, the South China Sea Boatman, launch an attack. This seemed to touch the button of destruction. The game was full of golden light for a moment, and with the crisp sound after another, the mysteries came one after another. Triggered, the halo on the paladin's head turned into a real and crushing advantage in a moment.

Seeing Isaacs's suddenly extra followers with outrageous figures, Valeera threw away her cards indifferently, "Is this interesting? Don't you think the new class is too powerful?"

"It's just a common marketing method. Doing so can significantly increase sales." Isaacs patiently explained with a scientific attitude: "As for the balance problem, it will be corrected after a while."

Valeera snorted coldly, "Boring." The female elf got up and left, leaving Isaacs with a graceful back.

Very well, I managed to get rid of the only girl.But Isaacs was still a little unsatisfied, he looked at Ronin, "How about we do it again?"

The mage shook his head like a rattle.

In any case, the former Paladin Gulf Defense Squadron finally got together again. Compared with a few months ago, they are no longer recruits struggling with gnolls and murlocs. Isaacs is very pleased to have the iron-blooded atmosphere of a professional soldier.

After settling his subordinates, Isaacs went to the newly established gnome living area in Ironforge the next day, and found Obno, the master engineer, in a messy stone house. Dan Lun, but at least this one is still possible to persuade.

Seeing Isaacs coming, Obno's small body struggled to squeeze out from a pile of sundries, "It's a pleasure to see you again." The dwarf engineer raised his head and said to Isaacs, and then he sent a message Dwarves often sigh in the face of other races, "God, you are so tall!"

After a brief greeting, Isaacs sent out the invitation straightforwardly, "Your talent is obvious to all, Master Obno, I hope you can serve as the technical director of Dalaran Blizzard."

"What?" Obno looked quite surprised, and then suddenly spoke righteously, "What do you think of me? I am a respected dwarf mechanic master! The top existence of the artisan council! How could I leak the dwarf's information? core technology?"

Obviously the dwarf misunderstood something, but Isaacs Bin did not give an explanation. He looked around the extremely dirty room with a strange expression, "Respected Master Mechanic? Where are your apprentices, Obno?"

The dwarf engineer just wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he finally calmed down, "Well, it used to be like this. Now they think that the power security system I developed is the main reason why Thermaplug is so harmful. That guy secretly took over Take over my control system, and make the entire Gnomeregan mechanical security system his minions."

"I can understand you, Obno. People in the world are always ignorant, and they are often blinded by appearances." Isaacs said very sincerely: "So I hope to provide you with an opportunity to truly display your talents. "

Obno hesitated, "I'm sorry, my race is currently in distress, leaving them at this time is like betrayal..." He finally refused.

Isaacs sighed. Sure enough, he was not arrogant enough to be accepted by others.

It's a last resort. "I think you'll understand when you see Blizzard's products," he said resignedly.

Of course Isaacs would not take Obno to see Hearthstone.The Alliance army camp is not far from Ironforge, and there are several Tomahawks used to provide fire support.

The Lordaeron officer who stayed behind readily agreed to Isaacs' request for inspection, so Obno was fortunate to see the most lethal strategic weapon of the current Alliance.

"How does it feel?" Isaacs asked.

Obno tapped the blade thrower a few times, "It's not bad in terms of material, but it's too rough as a siege weapon, but there seems to be something mysterious about the blade used for throwing." He was very interested Look at those runes.

Isaacs didn't say much, but directly asked the master apprentice in charge of the control to activate the blade thrower, a dazzling violet light flashed across, and the distant target hill leveled down instantly.

Obno was shocked by such power, "My God, this power is already comparable to Milfis's source bomb." He murmured,

"This kind of ballista has almost become a conventional weapon." Isaacs said: "It has basically spread to all the large cities and main battleships in Lordaeron. This is not an elemental bomb that cannot be mass-produced because of the material. Comparable."

But Obno did not continue to maintain his shock, but jumped up a little frantically, "With such a powerful technology, you actually only made such a low-end thing?"

Isaacs was a little embarrassed, "Ahem, there is only such a reasonable design hastily due to technical reasons." Without waiting for Obno's answer, he continued to ask: "The 6-90 should be your most proud masterpiece. right?"

"That's right! It can confront hero-level existences head-on, and it's completely immune to mid-level and low-level spells." Obno said proudly.

Isaacs nodded, "There are several arcane puppets in Blizzard's headquarters. Although their combat power is not as good as 6-90, they are not much worse. In Quel'Thalas, this kind of puppets are only used by ordinary nobles to protect the courtyard. existence." Isaacs said word by word.

Obno was stunned, he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Isaacs again.

"Your idea is correct. Steel has a powerful advantage over ordinary flesh. But in Azeroth, purely pursuing materials and structures is a wrong path. We must start with the most fundamental motivation. The reality is that using arcane magic Energy-powered mechs are at least three times more powerful than conventional energy, and blade throwers using arcane energy are more powerful than Gnomeregan's most powerful artillery."

Obno swallowed, "So you are doing research on this?"

Isaacs nodded, "So this is the real discovery of engineering development, this will be a revolution, so I sincerely invite you to participate." Don't you want your name to be remembered by future generations of young engineers?"

Obno was completely fooled, he nodded subconsciously.

"What's more, the gnomes have already joined the alliance. Playing for Blizzard is playing for Lordaeron, and playing for Lordaeron is playing for the alliance, so playing for the alliance is equivalent to playing for the gnomes. You don't need to have any respect for your fellow citizens. Too much guilt." Isaacs said bluntly, "So what's your final opinion, Engineer Obno?"

Obno's eyes became firm, and an impulse surged into his chest, "Okay, I promise!" He finally said the answer Isaacs wanted to hear the most.

It's done!Isaacs nearly jumped up with excitement, but managed to maintain a decent image.Blizzard finally has its own core R&D personnel. Obno has rich experience, and with the assistance of Nolan, the great artifact master, he can completely conduct reverse research on arcane puppets.

Let those damn mages who only make explosions and waste gold go back to playing games!Isaacs thought quite happily.
