Chapter 172 Target Black Rock Mountain
Black Rock Mountain did not exist at first. It was originally part of the Red Ridge Mountains, with beautiful scenery and rich natural resources. It was peaceful before the Battle of Three Hammers.
But two hundred years ago, the Black Iron Dwarf summoned the King of Fire Demon. The terrifying flames fell from the sky and magma spewed out from the earth. With the arrival of the King of Fire Demon, a huge volcano rose from the ground, and the Black Stone Mountain was born, and the majestic Red Ridge Mountains no longer existed.
The lava underground in the north flowed to Blackstone Mountain, causing the land to sink and the landform to change significantly, which became the scorching canyon that people today said.
The south was awarded the title of burning plains because of the flying flames.
Blackstone Mountain is located between the Scarlet Canyon and the Burning Plain. To the north of the Scarlet Canyon is the Dwarf Kingdom, and to the south of the Burning Plain is the Scarlet Kingdom.
Originally, there was a land route from Lakeside Town to enter the Burning Plain. Now it was controlled by Black Stone Orcs, and Vanessa's army could only go by sea.
One evening a day later, the important officials worked together to fool the patrols on the dock. Vanessa gathered soldiers at the somewhat quiet Stormwind City Wharf.
She changed her robe and wore a red half-body armor with a rather Lordaeron-style waistband with Goldlin's teeth hanging, holding the reins in her left hand and Elune's staff in her right hand.
She rode a flaming war horse and swam at the front of the team.
Two soldiers were behind her one horse, one on the left and the other on the right, one of them was wearing the flags of Lordaeron's silver abstract letters ld and four sharp swords, and the other was holding the fiery red Lordaeron's double-headed eagle battle flag.
The soldiers were somewhat uneasy. They were just civilians before, but now they are going to go to the Black Rock Mountain expedition. Many people have nervousness and fear on their faces.
Vanessa felt she had to say something.
Rescue Bervar and ask him to come back to fight King Varian, this is definitely not something to be said in public.
It is not convenient to absorb the pure flame of Ragnaros and take it one step further.
The orders were prohibited, and the iron army that was still as motionless as a mountain could not be trained. The rest of the human generals were probably not good at it. The soldiers at the bottom couldn't figure out why these big men fought around, and sometimes they didn't understand the use of mobilization in front of the formation. In their opinion, this was a ceremony in which the big men danced around like monkeys. Originally, Vanessa resisted this, but just like starting the phone to worship the gods, regardless of whether it was useful or not, according to convention, the mobilization before departure should be done.
Before, the old knight Grian Storman was in charge of this matter, but now the old knight has returned to the embrace of the Holy Light, so she can only get on it by herself.
Vanessa does not have the loud voices of the warriors who have their own human speakers, but the druids have the ability to be kind to nature.
The surrounding grass and sparse trees would help her deliver the sound to every soldier's ears.
"Many of you may be confused. What is the purpose of starting from the western wilderness and going to Black Rock Mountain to fight?" She raised a question first.
The sound reached every soldier's ears with the help of the surrounding trees and plants, and Vanessa was not ready for them to answer.
She continued: "I am willing to lead you to revenge, to gain honor, to gain wealth, but only if there is a race of human beings.
If the human kingdom perishes and everyone dies in despair, what is the point of guarding the western wilderness alone? Do we show off our honor to the orcs? Do we take out our wealth to share with the undead? The human kingdom is buried in yellow sand. How do we tell our revenge journey to those departing comrades?
Tell them, I have helped you revenge? But we didn’t care when humans were attacked by the enemy, and now humans are also destroyed! Can we say that?”
Vanessa's voice suddenly increased, and the Lordaeron soldiers and Kissan, who were thinking about revenge, all lowered their heads.
"My sword is willing to fight for you, ma'am!" The tall middle-aged soldier half-kneeled in front of her horse.
Vanessa quickly turned over and dismounted and helped the middle-aged soldier up: "Commander Durand, thank you for your support."
This middle-aged soldier is the middle-aged blacksmith who had met Vanessa and Galia in the cabin. Many Lordaeron people are separated from their wives and children and their families are destroyed. He not only brings his wife, but also has two children. This person's ability and character can be seen.
Vanessa admired such a person very much, and used druid spells to help him reborn with his broken limb for several days. Only then did she know his name, Durand, a veteran who participated in the Second War and returned home.
After seeing the middle-aged man's combat ability and military training ability, she knew that she had picked up a bargain in the Bloody Monastery. The Monastery did not want to use the precious holy light spells on civilians, so she threw away the last commander of the Bloody Monastery.
Durand was once a high-level warrior, but his broken arms and his displaced experience were extremely deficient. He did not have a good body in the warrior profession, and no matter how good his skills were, it was useless. When he was at his weakest, he was no better than an ordinary person.
Fortunately, he got a precious opportunity to rebirth with broken limbs in the western wilderness, and he ushered in a new life. Although Vanessa's healing technique was a bit overbearing, after being treated by her, her vitality was forcibly urged and her arms grew out of the way, but the middle-aged man's original brown hair was spent more than half, and he looked ten years older out of thin air.
The lifespan was somewhat lost, but Durand was still very grateful to her. He knew the preciousness of this spell and immediately swore allegiance. His arm recovery, coupled with a period of nutritional intake, was at this time the commander had returned to the level of an intermediate warrior and joined Vanessa's advisor group as the commander of the Red Revenge Army.
The two of them had a bit of a play, but the morale of the soldiers did have a visible rebound.
Helping Commander Durand up, she said again.
"I will tell you one thing today. What we do today makes sense! It is not for me, nor for the Knight of Grian Storman who returns to the embrace of the Holy Light, nor for the kings in Stormwind, but for yourself and for your descendants, to pass the order! Get on the ship! Target, Black Rock Mountain!"
Seeing the soldiers boarding the ship one after another, Jaina and the intelligence chief also quietly boarded the warship as agreed. Until she set sail and left the port of Stormwind City, Vanessa couldn't calm down.
She wasn't as confident as she spoke.
Even with Thrall's help, she didn't think she could win it. Ragnaros is the king of the flame demon, the longest-lived and most powerful fire element in the world.
