World of Warcraft: Reviving Stromgarde - Chapter 245
c240 Lobbyist of the Kirin Tor
Garlin did not quickly launch an attack on Utgard Keep, but instead began to open up farmland on the land occupied behind the three camps of the Covenant Expeditionary Force.
The expedition to the Lich King cannot be completed overnight, not to mention that the Alliance’s Fearless Expeditionary Force and the Horde’s Warsong Expeditionary Force have not yet set off, so the Covenant Expeditionary Force does not need to be too anxious.
It is true that the Covenant has abundant supplies, but if it is only maintained by transporting supplies from the territory of the Eastern Kingdom, the loss is too alarming, and the next Cataclysm will cause a new famine problem.
Howling Fjord is one of the few areas in Northrend suitable for growing vegetation and has rich wildlife resources. Before the arrival of the Alliance Fearless Expeditionary Force and the Horde Warsong Expeditionary Force, it is Garlin’s goal to turn this place into a granary that is not inferior to the Arathi Highlands.
It is true that a large number of Vikus are awakened from Gjalerbron every day, but these Vikus do not know the reason for stationing troops at all. Basically, 80% of the awakened Vikus are consumed in the attack on the three camps of the Covenant.
Compared to the initial inability to face the strength and savagery of the Vrykul, after accumulating experience during this period, the expeditionary forces of the Covenant all understood that they only needed to unite and cooperate to deal with these brainless Vrykul.
At the same time, as the defenders, they also had the help of the solid camp and the defensive facilities of crossbows and artillery, which made it much easier to resist the Vrykul.
As time passed, the number of the Covenant expeditionary forces continued to surge, and the growth rate even exceeded the Vrykul who continued to attack.
So much so that such a scene appeared in the south of Howling Fjord, the soldiers who defended the Vrykul attack in the morning appeared in the farms they had opened up in the afternoon. And the soldiers who worked in the morning were the soldiers who defended in the afternoon.
Unlike the world where Garen lived, due to the development of young people who were basically lazy and didn’t know how to distinguish between grains, in Azeroth, except for the nobles of the lineage, most humans knew how to farm.
Coupled with the assistance of the druids of the Cenarion Circle, the crops planted were countless times faster than the normal growth rate. Even if it was not as terrifying as the one-a-day harvest in the Valley of the Four Winds, it was enough for a good harvest.
Not only farms, but also those shepherds with domestication experience have established captive farms to breed local animals in Howling Fjord.
While opening up the land, the warriors of the Covenant also discovered a large number of ancient Vrykul cemeteries, including the legendary Vrykul kings.
Knowing the bad luck brought by the cursed artifacts, Garin naturally would not disturb these sleeping souls. He even asked the priests to pray for the souls, not wanting these Vrykul who had died for tens of thousands of years to get up from the cemetery.
Just as the Howling Fjord was in full swing in opening up the land and defending against the Vrykul, Stromgarde welcomed an uninvited guest.
“Khadgar, I welcome you to Stromgarde, because you are my friend who has shared weal and woe for more than 20 years, but I don’t want you to come here as a lobbyist for the Kirin Tor.” Danath said with a tangled face. He should have welcomed his old friend, but this time the other party stood on the opposite side of Stromgarde and became a member of the Kirin Tor organization.
After the battle of Shattrath, the brainwashed Archmage Khadgar also got to know the Naaru again, so he returned to Azeroth, but he returned to the Kirin Tor.
Facing the tangled Danas, Archmage Khadgar held his head high and said, “Danas, I feel very guilty for the mistakes I made when I was manipulated by the Naaru in Outland, but I came here for all mankind. The Kirin Tor alone cannot resist this crisis.”
“Maybe you should go to the Alliance, or you can find the night elves. According to the intelligence of the Syndicate, Jaina is now a member of the Kirin Tor Council of Six.” After returning to Azeroth, Danas already knew what had happened in the past 20 years, and he also understood that the Kirin Tor was their enemy, and the Stormwind Alliance and the Covenant were in a competitive relationship.
Hearing Danas say this, Archmage Khadgar showed an expression of how did you know.
Danath’s eyes twitched, and he said helplessly, “It seems that Jaina has gone to the Alliance. How come, what kind of enemy is it that the Alliance cannot defeat?”
“Not only Stormwind City, Rhonin also sent Archmage Aethas to replace Archmage Kael’thas to Silvermoon City. As for the night elves…” Archmage Khadgar saw that Danath had guessed that the Kirin Tor had also sought help from the Alliance, so he no longer concealed it and told him about asking for help from Silvermoon City.
You should know that the relationship between the Kirin Tor and Silvermoon City is worse than that with Stromgarde. The blood elf king Kael’thas even destroyed the Kirin Tor mages of the Alliance Expeditionary Force with arcane bombs.
If the Kirin Tor organization can take the initiative to surrender and go to Silvermoon City for help, then the enemy this time must be not simple.
Now Garin has just led the Covenant Expeditionary Force to Northrend to fight against the Scourge. If another powerful enemy suddenly appears, there will be no time to return, and the Covenant will also face the problem of fighting on two fronts.
For the benefit of the Covenant, Danath had to know what happened, so he asked in a deep voice, “Who is the enemy?”
“The Blue Dragon Legion, and their Dragon King, Spellweaver Malygos, the Guardian of the Magic Web of Azeroth.” Archmage Khadgar said solemnly the enemy they were facing this time.
Danas opened his mouth in surprise and said in disbelief, “This… How is this possible!”
The blue dragon is one of the dragon legions guarding Azeroth, how could they suddenly become enemies?
“King Galin is right. We have been using magic without restraint for thousands of years, and now we have finally received retribution.”
“Blue Dragon King Spellweaver Malygos went crazy because of the betrayal of Black Dragon King Deathwing in the War of the Ancients ten thousand years ago. The Blue Dragon Legion also declined in population, so it has never managed the use of magic by us humans.”
“Not long ago, in Outland where we have been for more than 20 years, Princess Tyrigosa of the Blue Dragon Legion extracted the essence of the void dragon and healed Spellweaver Malygos.”
“But the healed Spellweaver became even crazier. He wanted to take back the right to use magic for all races in Azeroth, so as to improve the damage caused by the abuse of magic to Azeroth in the past ten thousand years.”
The Archmage Khadgar also knew that it was unbelievable that the Blue Dragon Legion had become an enemy, so he slowly told Danas the reason.
“Hahaha, it seems that it is a good thing for you to leave Stromgarde.” Danas sneered, remembering that the human mages were the first to leave Stromgarde and establish the second human city-state kingdom.
“Danas, there are now a large number of mages in Stormgarde and the Covenant. Once the Spellweaver completes his vision, the magic that our ancestors exchanged for Quel’Thalas with their blood will completely disappear. Do you know what this means?”
