Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 890 220. Alliance of the Holy Hammer

  Ironforge, the city of snow-capped mountains.

  This is the main city of the Bronzebeard dwarves and the only large city for the dwarves. More than 60% of the Bronzebeard dwarves live in this city that is always warm, noisy and vibrant.

   It's built right in the heart of the Coldridge Mountains in Dun Morogh.

   Just as the Dark Iron Dwarves hollowed out Blackrock Mountain to build Darkforge, the Bronzebeard Dwarves also hollowed out a mountain to build the same majestic Ironforge.

   However, Ironforge was built on the ground, and it was nearly 100 meters above the ground level. To be precise, the city was built on the hillside.

   It is connected with the snowy mountain ground by a winding mountain road.

The terrain like    is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack. In fact, Ironforge is also one of the only two cities in the central and southern parts of the entire Eastern Continent that have not been captured by orcs during the nearly seven years of the Orc War.

  The brave Bronzebeard dwarves took advantage of the terrain of Ironforge to defend the city for several years with the help of warriors who were less than one-tenth of the orc army.

   Until the death of Orgrim Doomhammer, even if the orcs occupied 95% of Khaz Modan's area, they never stepped into Ironforge.

   During the war years, this dwarf city also accepted many human refugees, which greatly strengthened the already good diplomatic relations between humans and dwarves, and made the two tribes truly become an alliance of brothers.

   Or change it to a more Jianghu style.

   Blood Alliance.

   It is precisely because of the tenacious counterattacks of the dwarves and gnomes in the Khaz Modan area that most of the power of the orcs was held back so that they could not fully devote themselves to the attack on the northern border, which gave the human kingdom the possibility and hope of a counterattack.

  As a result, after the war, Ironforge got a lot of business cooperation from the human kingdom by virtue of this achievement, allowing the dwarves to make money for more than a year.

   A lot of iron and ore is sent from Ironforge every day, by caravan to Menethil Harbor, and from there to other kingdoms.

  To this day, Ironforge is already on the verge of becoming the commercial center of the Eastern Continent, thanks to the shrewdness of the dwarves who hide behind rudeness, as well as the city's solidity and safety.

   Don’t say anything else, just say something.

  The second largest vault in the Eastern Continent except the Goblin Bank, just deep in the bank of Ironforge, this is the "holy place" that countless thieves dream of coming to.

  Unfortunately, the security force here is even more outrageous than the black treasure house in Darkforge City.

  The bank vault is backed by the Dwarf Throne Hall. Except for Brian Bronzebeard who pulls the crotch, the three brothers of the Bronzebeard King are a rookie, and the other two brothers, Muradin and Magni, belong to the kind of characters with outstanding combat power.

   The two brothers can draw with Daelin in a one-on-one situation, and they are as dangerous as the Orc Chieftain when they are desperate, just like the first real battle that Black participated in.

  Muradin Bronzebeard single-handedly stopped the most dangerous legendary swordsman Old Dahl, and fought with Brox Saurfang on the walls of Lordaeron more than a dozen times.

  Although you lose more than you win, you are honored even if you lose.

   As for Muradin's brother, Magni Bronzebeard, the dwarf king rarely actually fought, but Muradin always preached force for his brother.

   Consider that although dwarves generally like to drink and brag, they rarely lie. Therefore, Magni Bronzebeard should be the first powerhouse of the Bronzebeard dwarves.

   In addition to the Bronzebeard brothers who live here, Ironforge also has Kurtaz, the paladin lord who is stationed here by the Holy Light Church. That dwarf is a legendary paladin who is a legendary warrior.

   Although he is not well-known in the Church of the Holy Light, his fighting power is definitely not weaker than the five knights.

   In addition to the paladins and warriors, the city also has two legendary old hunters, old Hemet and Fargo Flintlock, as well as a group of gnome wizards who live here.

   To sum up, being a thief in Ironforge is definitely not the right choice that a normal person's brain circuit can make.

   Even the stinky pirate Blake, who is highly skilled and daring, has not moved this thought. In addition to not wanting to provoke the dwarves who are very united and vengeful, Blake maintains dormancy for another very important reason.

   Because there is no "oil and water" in Ironforge's vault.

  Pure money means little to the stinky pirates who have already begun to collect taxes in the North Sea. As there are no magical weapons or magical treasures here, there is really no need for Black to get into trouble.

  Blake, the master assassin, now also has an "Idol Baggage".

   He declared to his subordinates that he could not do everything for money. If he ransacked the Ironforge vault for money, he would have smashed the signboard.

  The most important thing is that you came to Ironforge today to do business.

   "Oh, you really should have sent a letter ahead of time. My brother is not in Ironforge. It's a coincidence that you came. He just left for Kul Tiras yesterday."

  In the throne room of the Bronzebeard dwarves, His Majesty Magni Bronzebeard heard that Black Shaw was visiting, and took time to meet them.

   Dwarves don't do any **** of formalism.

  Their royal family is also very down to earth, not as grand as the elf royal family. Magni, as the king of dwarves, just put a simple crown on his head.

   However, the ceremonial armor on the old dwarf king caught Blake's attention.

   His eyes were vicious, and he could tell at a glance that this thing was not of low grade. Although it was still a long way from the Luna armor, it was definitely better than the warrior armor he gave Fenna.

   As expected of a dwarf who is good at forging, even a set of ritual armor is so exquisitely made, which is another kind of show of wealth.

   "This is really disappointing, I'm here to visit my brother Muradin this time."

  Black made a regretful gesture.

   He said to King Magni, who looked like Muradin:

   "I just got some interesting things from Searing Canyon a few days ago, and I wanted to share it with him."

   "Yes, Muradin warned me before he left."

   Magni, the dwarf king, has a good character. He sat on the dwarf throne decorated with furnace flames on both sides, and stroked his beautiful beard decorated with gold rings. Haha laughed and said:

   "He specifically instructed me to finish the elven sword he brought back from Tol Barad, and also said that if you come to get it, let me complete the final recasting of the sword for him.

  I am a king, but I prefer to strike iron, so, do you bring the blood of the dragon king?

  If you have all the materials, I can now take the time to help you complete the final step of quenching the dragon's blood on that sword. That's a really good sword. "

  Magney said with emotion:

   "I have never seen such a good weapon in my life. It should be a gift for this beautiful and powerful lady beside you, right?"

   "Wow, you speak much better than your brother, you deserve to be a king!"

  Fina smiled and gave Magni a noble salute, she said:

   "I'll talk about that sword later, my... well, my captain is here today with more important things to do."

   "Yes, a major event related to the inheritance of the Three Hammers left by His Majesty Modimus Anvilmar, King of the Mountains."

  Black stepped forward and said something to Magni.

   kicked the sturdy little man next to him who was wrapping himself in a hood, the latter muttered, and reluctantly took a few steps forward with the gift box, and walked under the steps of Magni's throne.

   At this close distance, King Bronzebeard could clearly see the fiery red eyes under this guy's hood.

   "Black Iron!"

   The dwarf king, who was full of gentleness like an elder, suddenly became indifferent, with a smile on his face just now, and a chilling aura that belonged to a powerful warrior and a majestic king came to his face.

   He clenched his gauntlets and punched the armrest of his throne, yelling angrily:

   "The Cursed! The Exiled! The Defiler! The Traitor of the Three Hammers! The Rebel of the High Mountain! How dare you enter this bronze-bearded royal hall? Is this an assassination?

   or provocation? "

   A group of royal guards, fully armed like dwarf iron cans, roared forward, and they would chop this bold black iron dwarf into meat sauce with just the king's order.

   As the culprit who brought the Dark Iron Dwarves into the Throne Hall, Black, Finna and Valeera were also surrounded by a group of murderous dwarf royal guards.

  Ishui's high-level warriors, if you really want to fight against the BUG of Black, it is almost impossible for Valeera and Fina to break through without injury.

   But Blake's face didn't change, and he still maintained a smile on his face wearing a magic mask, and he reached out and pressed Fenna's hand that wanted to hold the hilt of Ashbringer's sword.

   is not necessary.

   I can't fight today.

   Hansel Heavy Fist, who was angrily reprimanded by Magni, wanted to slap the king in front of him. After all, three hundred years of hatred had already made it impossible for Bronzebeard and Black Iron to turn around.

   But he is a messenger after all.

  He would suppress the anger in his heart, using what Black taught him along the way:

   "Your Majesty. Hell, that's an awkward title. King of Bronzebeard! I'm a Dark Iron dwarf, yes, but I'm not Thaurissan's lackey! I'm here on behalf of the Thorium Brotherhood.

   I represent the unyielding will of the dark iron dwarves, and although I do not desire it, I will not refuse peace either.

  Our olive branch has been stretched out before your eyes, it's your turn to respond. "

  Hansel stared at Magni with his fiery red eyes, he provocatively said:

   "You are not even afraid of war, but are you afraid of peace?"

"Peace?"

  Magney sneered and said:

  "To say this word from the mouth of the Dark Iron Dwarf is simply the greatest humiliation to it! I will not talk about the old accounts three hundred years ago, and I will not talk about the uninterrupted conflict between the two tribes in the barren land.

   It's just that in the Orc War, you helped those butchers to help the tyrants, which is enough to make me despise you for every reason I can think of.

   But you are right.

  I have heard the story of the Thorium Brotherhood, and I know you and Thaurissan hold different opinions, so I am willing to give you a chance.

   Let me see your 'peace'. "

"boom"

  Hansel opened the box in his hand, and the two warhammers inside immediately attracted Magni's attention, and the few legendary blacksmiths in Azeroth made a snort of surprise.

   But instead of immediately reaching out to touch the warhammer, he picked up the letter on it.

   He opened the letter and read it carefully.

   There is no real valuable information in the letter.

   After all, the two sides were only just beginning to make contact. The great blacksmith of the Thorium Brotherhood restrained and greeted His Majesty Magni, and did not mention the union or peace of the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Bronzebeard Dwarves.

   He came up with a very creative idea.

   immediately attracted Magni's curiosity.

   "Huh? The three clans work together to forge a supreme weapon that only belongs to the dwarves? Use it as a symbolic cornerstone for the three hammers that have been divided for three hundred years to reunite?"

   King Bronzebeard sat on his throne, he read this sentence, and glanced at Black below the throne.

  The big pirate shrugged, showing a gentle and harmless smile.

   "My brother came back from your island this time, like crazy, he kept talking about the supreme skill of weapon forging, and showed me his ideas.

   It is said that he got the inspiration from an ancient elf sword, and I was also convinced by him that the king or something is only due to blood, and I am a blacksmith after all.

  I also hope to accomplish this great imagination by myself.

   If it weren't for Kul Tiras' invitation, Muradin and I have already started to prepare our forging plan. "

   In the chilling throne room, Magni waved his hand, and the royal guards retreated in unison.

The king    looked at the two black iron warhammers in the treasure box in front of him, and said:

   "Perhaps the ideas and inspirations of the forging masters in this world will collide, and there will be a common pursuit of skills even far away, but I don't believe this proposal will be such a coincidence.

   This is your handwriting, right?

   Mr. Black.

  After the events of Dalaran and Kul Tiras, you have set your sights on the dwarves again, which makes me wonder if you have a plan? "

  Magney stared at Black and said:

   "Your suggestion is very good, I am very moved, but as a king, I must consider for the people and the country, if you do not make your plan and your purpose clear.

   I will not accept it.

  Even if you have already sent the legendary pair of 'opposition' and 'persuader', the most suitable treasures for the primordial embryo of the supreme weapon of dwarves, to me, I would not dare to accept it.

  I have seen the destructive power of your plans and thoughts, pirate lord.

   So, let’s be honest. "

"how to say."

  Blake rubbed his neck, and in the eyes of everyone, he took out an eye-like elemental crystal from his arms. As soon as this thing was taken out, the temperature of the entire Bronzebeard Throne Hall began to soar.

  Magney suddenly stood up from the throne, and the dwarf king's eyes burst into undisguised longing.

   And Hansel, the stubborn black iron craftsman, fell to the ground with weak legs.

   It wasn't that he was frightened.

   It was the fire power that bloomed from the eyes of Sulfuras, the crystal of Ragnaros' elemental avatar, which stimulated the remaining curse in the blood of the dark iron dwarves.

   is like the presence of the King of Fire Demons.

   "In a hunt, I got a very, very powerful treasure that I don't need."

  The pirate threw the Eye of Sulfuras up and down like a small sun, he said:

   "I know that the Thorium Brotherhood holds the forbidden knowledge of the Balrog Lord in their hands, and they can create a weapon that perfectly fits this sacred artifact, giving me instant access to the power derived from the fire of Sulfuras.

   That is a rare legendary weapon.

   But I think the potential of this thing should go beyond that.

   It can not only become a weapon, it can also become a symbol. "

Black laughed and threw the elemental holy artifact, which could be exchanged for supreme power in Quel'Thalas or a thousand obedient elves, like a marble to the helpless Mag. Ni Bronzebeard.

   He spread his hands and said to the dwarf king:

   "I have my purpose. I really want to see the unification of the three hammers, instead of being inseparable from each other. To be honest, your infighting is completely meaningless in my opinion.

  My starting point is noble, Your Majesty.

   Of course, I know you don't think so, if I, a sly **** like me, don't make a little request today, you certainly won't accept my gift with confidence.

   So, I would say.

   After the forging of this dwarf's most sacred artifact is completed, when I need it, the dwarves under the king of the mountain must help me unconditionally.

  Three times!

   No matter who my enemy is, no matter who I ask you to attack, you must agree without reservation!

   is like the contract between Thoradin the Great and the Sun King Anastarian three thousand years ago.”

   Having said this, Blake pouted, and in the dead silence where he could hear his heartbeat, he asked softly:

   "Is this arrogant request enough to reassure you? If it's not enough, I want the right to name this dwarf hammer that will be born in the future.

  Everything needs a big name.

   Let's just call it 'Sigma'. "
