Welcome, please remember the address of this site:, read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "Shadow Bear Tibbers' Journey to the Plane" at any time...

In the Elwynn Forest on the southern continent of the Eastern Kingdom, this area suitable for humans and animals to live is not only the most important site of the Human Stormwind Kingdom, but also the location of Stormwind City, the capital of the Stormwind Kingdom.

Since the Kingdom of Stormwind itself is close to the equator of the planet Azeroth, its land is between the tropics and subtropics, and the Elwynn Forest is adjacent to the endless sea to the west. Under the influence, Elwynn Forest in the Kingdom of Stormwind has a very pleasant climate, the sky is often clear, and the seasons are like spring. It is an excellent place suitable for human reproduction!

Although during the first war of the orc invasion, Stormwind City was captured and destroyed by the orcs, but in the sixth year of the Dark Portal, after the Alliance defeated the orcs and destroyed the Dark Portal, the nobles and refugees of the Stormwind Kingdom They returned here to restore their homes.

They later hired a large number of workers and members of the masonry union, and once again built a more majestic stone fortress on the ruins of the original Stormwind City that had been ravaged by orcs! It was also because of this incident that the Defias Brotherhood incident happened later. Wasn't it because of the Stormwind Kingdom's repudiation?

The Brotherhood of Masons has so many mouths to eat, and worked so hard to rebuild another majestic Stormwind City for your Stormwind Kingdom, but what happened? After repairing it, you, Stormwind City, actually reneged on your debts... You even played tricks on the hard-earned money of other migrant workers.

So, can Van Cleef not get up and riot? You have difficulties in Stormwind City, but the stonemasons union will not have any difficulties? Besides, where is the contract written in black and white? The stonemasons completed the siege on time, but you Stormwind City finally said: no money?

It is precisely because of this that the armed conflict between the two sides will continue to escalate, and it will become more and more serious in the later period. And because the Brotherhood has always been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Stormwind City, for this reason, a certain black dragon girl who has an inexplicable relationship with the Defias Brotherhood entrusted her brother who is far away in Blackstone Mountain to let him use the black dragon The special power of the Brotherhood casts a powerful two-handed sword for the Brotherhood, that is-Ashcandi, the Sword of the Brotherhood, aims to balance the balance of power between the two sides, and has reached her some kind of ulterior conspiracy. This is why the Sword of the Brotherhood is so powerful and has a dragon-shaped hilt. (purely a wild guess)

It's a pity that in the original timeline, before this powerful two-handed sword had time to be delivered, it was misfortune by a group of foot men, and what kind of brotherhood sword came out, no brother's bullshit! matter……

Well, I won’t go into details when it happened before. It was a headless case. Under various factors, each had its own reasons. Therefore, the Brotherhood and the Storm Kingdom, in the end, the two sides could only Draw a knife and speak!

And now,

On the edge of the cliffs and high mountains near the northeast of Stormwind City, stands a huge white rock fortress, which is the core of Stormwind City - Stormwind Fortress. This castle is the crystallization of the blood and sweat of the migrant workers from the original masonry union!

This huge stone structure fortress, it is located on the edge of the cliff in the north of the city, this huge fortress-style fortress, it can not only guard Stormwind City, but also provide the king and other nobles of the city Ideal and safe place to live.

At this time, in the King's Governing Hall in the main building of Stormwind Fortress, Countess Katrana Prestor and Duke Bolvar Fordragon, the high-ranking king of the kingdom, are assisting King Varian Wrynn in handling some military affairs of the Kingdom of Stormwind affairs.

Originally, Ms. Katrana Prestor was not qualified to accompany the king to participate in the country's management affairs with Duke Bolvar in the king's ruling hall. However, at that time, when this beautiful and well-informed countess came to Stormwind City, she quickly won the appreciation of the Duke of Bolvar, and soon became a member of the upper echelons of the Stormwind Kingdom's political circle. , already has a very impressive influence.

Regarding this Countess, there are quite a few gossips in the aristocratic circle of the Stormwind Kingdom. In fact, many people think that Bolvar must have taken a fancy to the young and beautiful Ms. Katrana Prestor, and that's why she was able to let the other party fly to the top of the Stormwind Kingdom like a rocket. The young guy must be in spring, he wants old cows to eat tender grass! But this is also human nature, no wonder, who wouldn't want such a tender girl without knowing the real identity of the other party?

Otherwise, why would he go out of his way to support the countess for no reason? Over the years, has he cared less for this lady? As long as he is not blind, anyone can see that this guy is thinking some dirty thoughts in his heart! This is the so-called self-immolation playing with fire, and in the original timeline, this also foreshadowed his later ending.

"By the way, is there anything particularly important in our Stormwind Kingdom recently?"

King Varian Wrynn dropped a document and quill at hand, and asked the two assistants standing aside. He was already very impatient to deal with these trivial chores every day. It is also because of this that in normal times, most of the time, he makes friends with the two people in front of him to deal with irrelevant government affairs, and he is also happy to take a break, and only when encountering some important events, as a Only the king would ask.

"My lord, there is nothing particularly important, that is, something related to the Defias Brotherhood. Recently, they..."

Before Duke Bolvar could speak, Countess Katrana Price stepped forward with a smile and began to report some things. Of course, she knew that King Varian didn't like to hear these things about the Defias Brotherhood. , but she didn't know why, every time she always picked the right time to report the things that bothered His Majesty the most, and every time she always achieved the desired effect.

"Okay, I get a headache when I talk about the Defias Brotherhood! Okay, okay, I'll trouble you two for the matter here. I'll go out for a walk first, and I'll talk about things like this in the future, you two Let's discuss it."

Sure enough, King Varian couldn't sit still when Countess Katrana uttered the words Phidia Brotherhood!

This matter was a thorn in his heart that could never be removed. As soon as he mentioned this, his heart ached! Anyway, there is no major issue in the Stormwind Kingdom now, it is nothing more than a certain noble's desire for extravagance or corruption, or the Defias Brotherhood has appeared to make trouble again, etc... Varian has long been punished. That's enough!

In fact, what King Varian didn't know at all was that whether it was the Black Dragon and Blackrock Orcs making trouble in the Burning Plains, or the riots of migrant workers from the Stonemasons Union, or the fact that the noble officials in Stormwind City were getting more and more corrupt, all of them had nothing to do with him. The countess Katrana, whom he regards as his arm, is inextricably linked with the important minister of the kingdom!

"As you order, my lord."

Countess Katrana gave a lady's salute gracefully, and when she saw the king going away, she turned around and looked at Duke Bolvar beside her with a half-smile.

"Your Excellency, tell me, how should we deal with the Defias Brotherhood? Continue to suppress? Or let it go?"

Katrana raised the roll of parchment in her hand, on which were written all kinds of evil deeds committed by the troublesome masons and the request for reinforcements.

"Hey... Katrana, I don't really care about this matter. Since it's in your hands, you can deal with it according to the old rules."

Bolvar shook his head. He also found it difficult to deal with the Defias Brotherhood. The repression has been suppressed, the fight has been fought, and the talk has been talked about! After so many years, Stormwind City still has nothing to do with the opponent!

Anyway, he, Bolvar, has already understood that the matter of the Brotherhood was originally caused by the Stormwind Kingdom. It was the Kingdom that first violated the contract and owed them a large sum of gold coins. By coincidence, it was a pity that the other party's armed riot was triggered.

Now that things have come to an end, the two sides can only continue to confront each other like this, anyway, there must be a day when it subsides!

Of course, there is not no way to perfectly solve this mess now, but unless the Stormwind Kingdom is willing to pay several times more gold coins than the original breach of contract, and promises not to pursue anyone on the other side. , maybe there is still a slight possibility of agreement.

But... Stormwind City, the entire Stormwind Kingdom now can't afford this money at all!

You know, this is the wages of all the craftsmen who built the entire Stormwind City back then. The wages and material costs for building such a main city are too large. Duke Bolvar is very flustered when he thinks about it! It's no wonder that His Majesty the King doesn't want to care about this matter. He doesn't even want to face it when he is at a loss!

Now, with their Stormwind Kingdom losing a considerable part of their mines and farmland due to the Defias Brotherhood, the kingdom's treasury is already quite tight! Where else can I come up with those several times the compensation to negotiate? Not to mention multiple times, they can't even pay half of the wage arrears now!

What's more, taking into account the widespread corruption and extravagance of noble officials, it is already very good to be able to maintain the national treasury without a deficit! If it wasn't for the fact that the black dragon and black stone orcs on the Burning Plains suddenly stopped making noise for some unknown reason, Stormwind City's financial situation might be in deficit and it might collapse!

Therefore, what Stormwind Kingdom is doing now is: Since it can't pay back the money, and it can't even pay several times the liquidated damages, then continue to suppress... There must be a day when the suppression will be complete! At that time, maybe...there is really no need to pay back the money, right?

"OK."

The countess nodded slightly, understanding the attitude of the king and the duke on this matter.

"Then, my lord duke, here is an official letter from the four kingdoms of the northern continent. They said in the official letter: the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the Wildhammer dwarves of Eagle's Nest Mountain, and the newly emerged The Flame Kingdom formally formed an alliance two days ago, and now, the original Lordaeron Alliance no longer exists! In the future, the foreign affairs of the four countries will be handled by this newly established Flame Alliance... It seems that their alliance is very connected It's tight!"

Countess Katrana briefly explained what Gong Han had said before she looked at the Duke and smiled slightly, fascinating Bolvar for a while.

This official letter was delivered by the hand of the high elf envoys who left yesterday. Here, only their Stormwind City still has such a little connection with the north. Now, as soon as these envoys leave, the Southern Stormwind Kingdom With the dwarves of Ironforge, even if they temporarily lost contact with the countries in the northern continent.

"My lord duke, how should we deal with this matter? Should we try to reply to the Flame Alliance? Or... continue to wait and report to His Majesty the King to handle it personally?"

Katrana seemed to have heard a few words from her brother about the flame kingdom that suddenly appeared and was composed of fire elemental beings, and the strength of the other party should not be underestimated.

It seems that they are inextricably related to Ragnaros, the Lord of Fire at the bottom of Blackrock Mountain. When he captured Fire Eagle in the mountains of Lordaeron, he was beaten up by the queen of the other side. . Later, there was a fight between him and Ragnaros and the loss of both sides. This is also the reason why the Blackrock orcs and black dragons in the Burning Plains no longer dare to make troubles to toss the Stormwind Kingdom. They have all shrunk their strength to guard against the Balrog and Black Iron dwarves below the Blackrock Mountain...

For this matter, Katrana has been very annoyed! It was because of her incompetent brother's rebellion that her recent arrangements were disrupted a lot. Without the restraint of those black dragons and black stone orcs, the Stormwind Kingdom suddenly calmed down a lot! If this kingdom is allowed to develop slowly and smoothly, it will be seriously inconsistent with her original intention!

"Forget it, King Varian has already stated his position. We and Ironforge refuse to recognize the Flame Kingdom of Rao Shizi, and of course, we will not recognize their Flame Alliance! This matter is temporarily put on hold. Don’t reply, and don’t admit it! By the way, you will notify MI7 later, so that they can start sending people to lurk to the north, set up an intelligence station, and try to collect more intelligence!”

Frowning and thinking for a while, Duke Bolvar quickly decided on a solution.

In fact, he has always been very confused about this matter. Why do those people in Lordaeron allow those fire elementals to establish a country in their original land? Now they even take the initiative to join together to form an alliance? It's incredible! It's just that, when the information is seriously unequal, it's not easy for him to judge the other party's thoughts, so he can only deal with it like this for the time being!

"We don't know anything about the situation in the north now, and we still have to rely on other people's envoys to inform us. This is ridiculous in the past! Therefore, Katrana, this matter needs to be done quickly!"

Right now, this is the only way to deal with it. Besides, the mainland to the south and the north are separated by a strait and a large undead ravaged area! Even if the Stormwind Kingdom wanted to intervene in the affairs of the northerners, they couldn't get through it!

What's more, there are still a lot of broken things in their Stormwind Kingdom, just like the Phidia Brotherhood just now, and the Burning Plains to the east. Under the current situation where they can't take care of themselves, how can they have time to take care of others?

"Okay, I will give orders later and let them prepare for this task as soon as possible."

Katrana nodded, and hugged all these documents into her arms. The power came into her hands unknowingly. But the King Varian and the Duke of Bolvar were still unaware. She couldn't help laughing a little happily, and then stunned Bolvar who was opposite.

"Your Excellency, then, I'll go back first. If I'm free another day, I'll invite you to have lunch again. See you tomorrow."

"Okay...okay..."

It wasn't until Countess Katrana's figure completely disappeared outside the door that Bolvar managed to come back to his senses. Then, he stroked the beard on his chin, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he finally Under the puzzled and envious eyes of the Stormwind guards, they hummed a little song and strode away.

...

On the second day after the official establishment of the Flame Alliance, braving the cold north wind, the Flame City dispatched their army of fire elementals again, nearly 50,000 of them were all kinds of high-level fire elementals that were more resistant to cold, and were recruited Chancellor Shannox was sent to Quel'Thalas and the Hinterlands to help the high elves and Wildhammer dwarves clean up the undead still roaming the land during the last month of winter.

And the Queen of the Flame Kingdom, Her Majesty Anne, the leader of the Flame Alliance, disappeared early in the morning the day after the alliance was formed. No one knows for the time being, where she will go to play wild again...

As the youngest of the three copperbeard dwarf brothers, Brian Bronzebeard, he and his second brother Muradin Bronzebeard are very active members of the "Explorers Association". At the same time, Brian Bronzebeard Suya was also one of the founders of the League of Explorers.

Back then, Bryan and Samuel Strange Hand established this explorer's organization together. They aim to search every corner of the world of Azeroth, search for the treasures left by the creation titans, and at the same time gather all the information about the history, characters and culture of the world of Azeroth to the world Inside the largest library.

As one of the founders and chief member of this organization, Bryan once swore that he would personally go to every corner of the world of Azeroth and explore all the secrets of Azeroth.

In Brian's original plan, he planned to set off in another year or two. However, when he saw the undead raging on the northern continent, he couldn't sit still anymore. He decided to explore in advance. Let's look at the eastern continent. Maybe when will the geographical information he explored be used?

So, he, Brian Bronzebeard, set off from Ironforge a long time ago and went south. He passed through Elwynn Forest and Westfall, and then came to Stranglethorn Vale in the south. After the last report in the foggy forest and after sending it back, came the first big danger!

Because, he discovered the ruins of an ancient city hidden in the deepest part of Stranglethorn Vale, but he was also surrounded by a large group of savage forest troll headhunters, and almost died.

However, in the end, he escaped anyway, because he met a very strange little girl mage, and she beat away those terrifying ogre trolls who were said to like eating intelligent creatures very much.

"Thank you very much for your help! Little mage, Brian? Bronzebeard will always remember your helping hand this time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have to confess here!"

After killing a troll headhunter who was still trying to resist with an axe, Brian Bronzebeard sat down on the ground panting heavily, and at the same time turned his head to thank the little girl who had helped him a lot.

"By the way! How did you appear in this place?"

Brian was very curious about the appearance of such a little girl in this inaccessible place where trolls abused her. Wasn't she afraid that the trolls would take her back and cook her?

"I'm not a little mage! I have a name, you can call me Annie! The reason why I helped you just now was just passing by by chance! Then why are you here? The bearded little dwarf?"

Little Annie has been a little bored recently. She has been to many places. Originally, she has been playing in the northern continent. It's just that it's the cold winter season in the northern continent, and it's full of ice and snow everywhere. It's cold and not fun, and she doesn't like it very much.

So this time, she sent a long-distance teleportation in one breath, and went directly to here in the south, but she didn't expect to meet such a bearded dwarf who was besieged by man-eating monsters here. At first she thought it was the same group of dwarves who had just come to her castle not long ago and ate and drank in the sea, so she helped him a little bit.

"Okay, respect Master Anne, let me introduce officially, my name is Brian? Bronzebeard, I am a copperbeard dwarf from Ironforge. At the same time, I am also an adventure lover. I came here to continue My adventure trip!"

Brian began to formally introduce his identity. He is an explorer and has long determined to travel all over the world of Azeroth. Coming to this Stranglethorn Valley is just the first stop of his adventure journey.

On the contrary, it's this little human girl who looks clean. She seems to be here, doesn't it seem normal? He, Brian, never remembered that there were signs of human activity here in the south.

"Huh? Explorer? It sounds amazing. Could it be that there is anything interesting here?"

When she first came here, Anne didn't like the climate and environment of the forest very much. She walked around a bit, and it seemed that there was nothing delicious and interesting here. If it wasn't for such a dwarf just now, she would It was already ready to send away.

"Interesting? It doesn't seem to be anything, right? I just got a message from the carvings of the trolls. It is said that there is a holy place for them in the east. I am going to go east to continue my work in the holy place of the ruins of the trolls." Adventure."

This news is the important information he discovered from the carvings on a stone slab of the trolls when he just explored the ruins of the trolls. It seems that it is the ruins of a certain city in the ancient troll empire, and now they are the holy land of the trolls. Regarding this, he, Brian, has to study it carefully. This is one of the important topics of his expedition, and he must not miss it.

"Huh? Holy land? Exploration? It sounds like fun... Then, I will accompany you to play for a few days!"

Annie thought about it seriously, and it seemed that exploring or something sounded quite interesting, so she decided to just play here for a few days! On the side of the Flame Kingdom, there is nothing to worry about, even if there is, she will not bother to deal with interesting things now!

"Your family lives nearby? Don't you need to go home?"

Brian Bronzebeard was a little surprised to see that the little girl planned to go on an adventure with him. She should be a human, right? Her family is so relieved that she comes out to play like this? Although I just saw the opponent's spellcasting method, I think it is a relatively powerful mage, but she is still a little girl after all, right? What if you encounter a powerful enemy?

"My family is no longer here. It's far away in the north! Besides, I'm a powerful mage, and no one can control me now! If I want to go back, I just need to open the portal, swish, and I'll be there." You can go back!"

Little Annie looked at the dirty Brian with disdain. He must have walked here on two legs, right? She won't be running around all the time like him. If she wants to go back, she can teleport back to the palace of the city of flames at any time. Faye is so awesome, if you want to go back, just read the article and open the door!

Little Annie still remembers that a few days ago, she met a group of adventurers at a place further north from here. At that time, after they knew her ability, they begged her to help them drive a short distance The portal, after removing the treasure chests they found, paid her a full hundred gold coins!

"Well, you are still amazing!"

Brian? Bronzebeard muttered in a low voice, he knew that Mages could open the portal and teleport over long distances. This kind of spell is really convenient, especially for Brian, who likes to explore. If he knows this kind of spell, it will greatly facilitate his hobby of exploring. It's a pity that he, Brian, can't learn such high-end spells. He is an explorer now, and at the same time, he is just a warrior who is not very good at fighting!

"Wait a minute, I'll go get something!"

After calling out to the bearded dwarf who was packing up and preparing to leave, little Annie hurriedly trotted into a jungle, seeming to be rummaging for something inside.

"You...you put it down quickly! That...that is the egg of the velociraptor, and the velociraptor is the most ferocious hunter in this jungle! Once they find that you have taken their eggs, they will follow the scent in groups If you track it down, you will be in big trouble when the time comes!"

When Brian finished packing his things and packages, he saw little Annie coming out of the grass, holding a huge white round egg in his left and right hands, he was so frightened that he screamed and planned to step forward to stop it. Put the eggs back before the velociraptors come back, and at the same time try to remove or cover up the smell that lingers on them, otherwise, there will be big trouble.

Of course he knew these eggs, those were Velociraptor eggs! These crazy jungle hunters are the fiercest and the most protective! Once they find that their eggs are missing, they will be in trouble! As an explorer himself, Brian is very clear about this. In the wild, at any time, never steal the eggs or cubs of ferocious beasts. If you do that, you will definitely get yourself into big trouble. This The little girl is really messed up!

"Tch, isn't it just a velociraptor, I'm not afraid of them!"

Under Brian's frightened gaze, little Anne carefully stuffed the two eggs into her own space pocket, and she was going to take them back and let the chefs cook them delicious food for her! After the two eggs were put together with the big pile that was put in before, she patted the stain on her hands and said with a relaxed face.

"Last time, there was a huge and fierce Tyrannosaurus rex. It also refused to let me eat its eggs. Then, I took it back to my house and asked my chefs to roast it and eat it whole. ! Humph!"

If those velociraptors dare to come and chase him, that would be great! Little Annie has eaten big dinosaurs and great white sharks recently, and she doesn't mind a change if they dare to come! I just don't know, are those Velociraptors delicious? Is there a lot of meat on their bodies?

"Well, it's up to you, but I can warn you! If you follow me, if there is any danger, I can't take care of you. At that time, I will definitely run away!"

Seeing this little girl so reckless, Brian, who has rich jungle survival experience, hurriedly gave a warning. If the velociraptors really came after him, he, Brian, has a lot of experience in escaping, so he won't be able to care about this little girl at that time!

"Don't worry, I will never drag you down! I am very strong, and, when it comes to running away, you are absolutely inferior to me! If you really want to run away, I will only You need to use the teleportation spell, swish it, and it will disappear!"

If it was just this kind of wild animal, Annie never thought of running away! She said, catch one at one end, one pair at both ends, if there is a large group... then just cast a fear spell to scare them away!

Besides, they are just a group of velociraptors, not a group of giant dragons, so what is there to worry about? Don't they just eat a few eggs? Dare to come to her and make trouble?

"You, you... well... you're ruthless! Let's get out of here as soon as possible!"

These words left Brian speechless... Very good! You are Faye, you run fast! But he, Brian, can't run fast! This kind of irresponsible behavior is not to drag him down? So what is drag?

But now is not the time to argue about these things. When the velociraptors come back later, they won't argue with him, Brian, who stole their eggs! Therefore, the most correct thing to do now is to leave here as quickly as possible. Perhaps, after they reach the territory of other animals, they will not dare to chase them again, right?

Just now, at the beginning, Brian naively thought that meeting this little girl sorcerer today was his lucky day, which would save him from becoming food in the mouth of troll headhunters. But now it seems that he is really too naive. Right now, it is nothing more than the difference between switching between the food of the velociraptor and the food of the troll!
