The dwarf in front of him is one of the five commanders of the Alliance Expeditionary Force, Kurdran Wildhammer, a great gryphon knight from the northern Wildhammer tribe.
After the explosion in Draenor, the expedition commanders decided to break up the troops into pieces and disperse them to various areas of the Outland in search of new resources and allies. Among them, Danas led the Torrent mercenaries to establish the Hellfire Peninsula.
After arriving at the Castle of Glory, Turalyon and Alleria traveled through the Terokkar Forest and built a fortress named after the latter in its center.
As another high-level commander, Kurdran and his dwarf warriors went relatively further: they successfully entered Shadowmoon Valley under heavy siege by demons, and fought with the Illidari forces occupying this place at the time.
We fought several large-scale battles. Although we didn't win, we didn't let the other side take advantage.
In the long decades that followed, the dwarves built a fortress named after the Wildhammer in the southwest of Shadowmoon Valley. With its solid city defense and powerful griffon troops, they fought against the Illidan army, even in Illid.
Even in his heyday, Dar'leh kept Wildhammer Fortress standing firm despite the raging war in Shadowmoon Valley.
As the top commander of the fortress, Kurdran is not only a veteran in strategic command, but also extremely powerful in terms of personal ability. In the second war, the Dragonmaw clan used the artifact Demon Soul to control the Red Dragon Queen Ah.
Lexstrasza,
The red dragon clan had to obey the orders of the orc warlock Nekros Bonecrusher and become enemies of the Alliance. In order to protect the coast of Lordaeron from the Dragonmaw clan, Kurdran led the gryphon knights to face them without fear.
The terrifying flames of the dragons
During the war, the dwarf knights took the lead, and faced the siege of many red dragons without hesitation, and calmly killed a total of nine adult dragons. As a result, the gryphon knights won a great reputation in the alliance.
High reputation and become the famous king of the air
Afterwards, Kurdran continued to serve the Alliance in the army on behalf of the Wildhammer tribe. At the request of General Turalyon, he led the elite dwarf griffin knights to join the Alliance expeditionary force and went into the war on Draenor without hesitation.
Over the past few decades, Kurdran's beard has grown a lot, but the energy on his face is still the same as when he was commanding the blue sky on the coast of Lordaeron.
"Haha, that's it!" The dwarf general hammered Regan's arm hard, and his joy was beyond words. "With your strong assistance, let alone Magtheridon, a past king of the outer lands, this memory will surely
We can even take down the Dark Temple!"
Regan smiled and said: "Don't be careless. Although Master Kurdlan is fully prepared for this battle, he must also guard against some unexpected side effects... To avoid long nights and long dreams, let's start taking action now!"
"No problem!" Kurdran shook the reins, and the gryphon beneath him flapped its wings and took two steps, rising from the ground with a strong wind. "You lead the attack, and my air support will follow.
arrive!"
Regan watched the dwarf drive the gryphon away, and said to Herod, who had been waiting for a long time: "Are everything ready?"
"Please rest assured, sir, everything is ready!" Herod took a red hellhound from the soldier next to him. This kind of tracking beast with a keen sense of smell usually only appears on the Hellfire Peninsula, and the evil orcs keep it there all year round.
They have been domesticated into ferocious war pets, but relatively speaking, their small front claws and teeth are not suitable for use as fighting dogs. On the contrary, they are more comfortable in tracking.
"Huhu~"
A low, strange sound came from the hellhound's nasal cavity. It lowered its head and sniffed for a moment, then raised its head toward the southeast and barked a few times, and then ran over.
"Follow me!" Regan raised the reins and urged the horse to catch up.
——————————————————————Southeast of Shadowmoon Valley, in a strange narrow valley filled with magic flames
The huge abyss lord walked around anxiously, and a small number of demon generals stood in two distinct rows, glaring at each other, while Kel'Thuzad and Kevin next to them had calm faces, as if they didn't feel anything at all.
To the smell of gunpowder in the valley
"Undead! What are your intentions?" A Destruction Guard general couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere. He stood up and accused harshly, "I've never heard of destroying defense weapons in order to win.
, are you here to help Illidan or to help us?"
"Shut up, Gufa Khan," the Lich and the Death Knight did not answer immediately. Instead, another Dread Lord retorted, "What the two guests did was just to prevent the hidden location of our base camp from being exposed! What if?
If that group of humans can successfully catch up and annihilate the Illidari defenders effortlessly, how long do you think we can resist?"
Gufahan shouted angrily: "Cowardly rat! The Lord God of Destruction will be ashamed to have a believer like you!" The Destruction Guard pulled out his giant sword with a sound, stuck it on the ground and knelt down on one knee towards Magtheridon.
"Master, please allow me to lead the brave soldiers to fight against those weak mortals! If I fail, I am willing to raise my head to see you!"
The Lord of the Abyss stopped, but only spurted out a ball of flames from his huge nostrils: "Fight, what are you using to fight?" Magtheridon glanced sideways at the Lich and Kevin who were standing with their arms folded, "Originally our
The number of soldiers is not an advantage, and now even the few remaining defensive weapons have been completely destroyed. Is it possible that you can deal with that ridiculously powerful paladin on your own?"
Gufa Khan choked, roared in annoyance, and shook his head and left. Magtheridon just snorted and did not stop Kel'Thuzad, who had witnessed all this, from smiling. Naturally, he knew that this
It was just a drama performed by the cunning fat man in front of him and his subordinates, and the purpose was naturally to force himself to take out the last trump card...
However, how can this card be easily flipped?
The Lich coughed with a non-existent vocal cord, and Shi Shiran walked up to Magtheridon and said: "Dear King of Outland, I feel extremely sorry and guilty for my companion's damage to your defense weapons.
, but because the alliance army appeared suddenly, the soldiers in the frontline camp had no time to make any defenses. If they didn’t make a decisive decision, they would probably follow the clues and find us here..."
Magtheridon waved his hand, looking tired and frustrated: "Hey, I can't blame you two... After all, the choice at that time was either to fight to the death and just kill the enemy, or to temporarily avoid the edge. Xu Tu's postscript, and Kai
General Wen is also very thoughtful in blocking the pursuers, and it must be said that he is extremely thoughtful."
"You're welcome," the Death Knight said coldly, "I was just doing my duty."
The Lord of the Abyss nodded in agreement, but then added: "It's just that right now we have few soldiers and few generals, and even our weapons and equipment are inferior to others, but we don't know how to deal with these forces..." A flash of light flashed in his small eyes.
A hint of cunning light, "But having said that, if Lord Kel'Thuzad can persuade His Majesty the Lich King to provide more assistance, then we may not be able to overcome the current difficulties."
Kel'Thuzad snorted coldly in his heart when he heard this. Even Kevin's expression changed slightly, obviously he was extremely concerned about the Abyss Lord's words.
In fact, the two people coming to Draenor this time was not instructed by Alsace, but a plan made by Kel'Thuzad as a think tank. In order to achieve the ulterior goal in the Lich's heart, he not only spent a lot of time and strength to help
Magtheridon escaped from the Hellfire Citadel and spared no effort to give his own precious time and space beacon to the other party, so that it could open new rifts and recruit soldiers from the Burning Legion.
But what is completely unexpected is that now this cunning fat man has taken advantage of him and acted like a good boy, and he dares to open his mouth again. Could it be that he doesn't understand who rescued him from the cage and helped him make a comeback?
The Lich was secretly angry. It seemed that the character of the demons was indeed well-deserved. They were all despicable and cunning. You really had to be careful when dealing with them!
"You are joking..." Kel'Thuzad said calmly, "His Majesty the Lich King actually has no knowledge of our coming to Draenor. It is entirely on his own initiative!"
Kevin frowned and looked at his boss in great surprise, only to see the Lich give him a calm look, and then fell into calmness like an ice sculpture.
"Then...all your previous remarks were just to deceive me? You two!" The narrow eyes of the abyss lord emitted a cruel light, and the demon generals who had been prepared unsheathed their swords one after another, and attacked people with malicious intent.
People surrounded them, "It seems that you don't know the methods of the Burning Legion...or is it that the severe cold in the North has frozen your withered brainstems into slag?"
"Please listen to me, dear King of Outland," Kel'Thuzad raised his hands calmly, "Although we did deceive you before, aren't you and I in the same boat now?"
The Lich said, "Maybe I can't provide you with more help right now, but the resources in Shadowmoon Valley are actually much more than you think... We can't get them, so why can't we take the initiative to plunder them?"
Magtheridon's expression changed, he raised his hand to stop his angry subordinates, and asked in a deep voice: "You mean..."
"Dragonmaw Fortress and the Netherwing Floating Island!" Kel'Thuzad replied, "These two locations are the training bases of the Illidan Air Force. The richness of strategic materials in them is beyond your imagination... and what's even more perfect is,
Their main target of attack right now is Shattrath's Astrologer troops. If we take advantage of this opportunity and seize these supplies, it is very likely that the entire situation will be reversed!"
"Well, a good plan..." Magtheridon, whose nature is fighting and plundering, was very excited. He pinched his chin and was about to consider the next action according to the Lich's plan, but he didn't expect a violent shock.
broke his thoughts
"Damn, it's those dwarves again!"
The demons raised their heads in shock and anger, and saw that the sky above the inclined valley, which was originally covered with magic disguise, became pitch black, filled with fighting griffins flying all over the sky.
