Chapter 128 Yes, it is indeed me!
Two armies clash, while zombies besiege the city.
Suddenly, a strange noise came from near Archmage Atalik. Fearing that enemies had come from underground again, he hurriedly ordered his guards to surround the protruding mound of earth.
With a loud, high-speed mechanical whirring, a drilling machine suddenly emerged from the ground.
The crowd involuntarily retreated, and the archmage and others had to set aside some to guard against the unknown mechanical entity...
"Dwarf Drilling Machine!"
"dwarf?"
"Oh no, it's the Alliance!"
The sci-fi product of the drilling machine is not uncommon in Azeroth; to be precise, it is a gnome technology product.
Dwarves are descendants of Titan creations, naturally gifted in mechanical creation, because their ancestors were mechanical lifeforms.
Like the earth spirits, the ancestors of the dwarves, they were immortal beings who suffered a blood curse and lost their ability to live forever.
Those who weakened their reproductive capacity became dwarfs and short people...
Both races enjoy working with the earth; one excels at digging, smelting, and forging, while the other excels at assembling, inventing, and developing...
The Alliance's inclusion of dwarves and gnomes wasn't just about making them a second line of defense against the Scourge...
Dwarves and gnomes are a very powerful race.
They are very similar to humans, with similar social structures and physiological configurations.
Culture and language are interconnected... The skills of dwarves and the techniques of gnomes can also be mastered by humans, just as magic can be learned from elves.
The combined power of mechanics and magic allows the mortals of the Alliance to contend with gods and demons.
Firearms, artillery, and mechanical assistance are also a great help in dealing with these legendary and terrifying undead.
Even with the aid of gunpowder, slaying dragons would be a piece of cake...
Humans are undoubtedly the true first race of Azeroth...
Their strength seems ordinary, and their composition is complex and diverse...
Humans' unique qualities enabled them to expand rapidly; skilled in trade and production, they quickly became the rulers of Azeroth.
If it weren't for the ever-present shadow of the Burning Legion, the orcish invasion, and the resurrection of the undead...
Humans will soon overwhelm the so-called native races like elves and trolls... A civil war between humans and elves may already be underway. The relationship between the high elves of Silvermoon City and Lordaeron has always been quite delicate...
Unseen conflicts gradually emerged as Lordaeron's population exploded and its territory expanded...
Some may wonder, since Silvermoon City and Undercity are located in Lordaeron, which is not far from each other... why were two such powerful empires of the Eastern Kingdoms destroyed in an instant...?
The hardships involved are beyond the comprehension of outsiders...
Even the magical barrier in Dalaran today actually has one in Silvermoon City of the High Elf Empire... It was that barrier that gave the elves the confidence to be unaffected by the undead, and to disregard the destruction of Lordaeron...
However, a traitor deactivated the magic shield...
Arthas stormed Silvermoon City, leaving behind the scars of death...
"Teacher, teacher, stop talking! Someone's come out of that thing!"
Lorraine interrupted his teacher's praise of dwarves, gnomes, and humans; he was now a Forsaken, a member of the Horde.
Humans view the forgotten as a monstrous flood, akin to evil spirits...
A human emerged from that dwarf drill.
Regardless, he was located near Archmage Atal'ik...
They are obviously the enemy!
Despite all the precautions Lorraine had taken, enemies still managed to get in.
The tribe's allies had not yet arrived, and the scout bats in the sky were slow to come and make contact.
The remaining enemies in Ambermill put up a stubborn resistance... it was originally Lorraine's deliberate test to wear down their will...
Now enemy reinforcements have appeared.
It's still the alliance!
.......
It's definitely the Alliance. The nearby dwarven camp is in the Alterac Mountains... There are several passes near the wetlands, which these underground tribes are not familiar with.
Including the secret passage discovered at the bottom of Lake Lordamere some time ago, Undercity has begun investigating potential threats...
There are quite a few monsters lurking in the inner world...
The information provided by Lorraine alerted the Society for the Study of the Undead.
That's a story for another time...
Now that person has arrived, but there's only one of them.
His appearance surprised everyone...
"It's you!"
"That's right, it's me! Hello everyone, friends, it's so lively here..."
......
Lorraine watched from afar and realized he recognized the man... not only did he recognize him, but he had also helped him before.
General Barry, who was on the other side, also recognized the newcomer.
Only the Archmage Atal'ik didn't recognize him, but this person was human, with blond hair, blue eyes, a tall stature, and bright, flamboyant clothes and extravagant ornaments.
A dazzling earring, a resolute face, a determined gaze...
Upon closer inspection, it appears to be red hair, and there are also some stubble on its face.
He stood there like the sun.
"Marcus & Jonathan!"
"Marcus? Where have I heard that name before..."
Archmage Atal'ik was still muttering... questions.
Tyran & Fording exclaimed with delight, “General Jonathan, great! You’ve finally arrived!”
"Just call me Marcus, Tyran. Long time no see. It's been quite a while since we last met in Hearthglen."
The two embraced without a second thought, causing the people on the battlefield to wear strange expressions... especially the knights at the very front who couldn't turn around...
Lorraine was surprised; such a big shot had arrived. And he was on the other side.
This is terrible!
He had witnessed Marcus's power firsthand; that mass resurrection spell was so effortless... Even though they were in the beginner village, the master and apprentice still couldn't fathom his true strength.
That magic, that warmth, that heat.
From afar, it still looks like a sun.
If General Barry is a cloud of black mist, then Knight Marcus himself is a heart of light...
"General Marcus Jonathan of Stormwind! The highest-ranking commander of Stormwind's defenses, a subordinate of Turalyon, what could he be doing here!"
Atalik seemed to recognize the big boss, and also seemed to see a savior.
The Alliance is far more powerful than the Scarlet Crusade...
The Alliance is an alliance of humans and other allied races in Azeroth, led by the most powerful existing human kingdom, Stormwind. The original Alliance was simply a seven-nation alliance of humans, led by Lordaeron.
Just as the original Horde was an orcish tribal vassal army controlled by Gul'dan of the Shadowmoon Clan, paving the way for the demonic army to destroy the world.
The new alliance and the new tribe are different now!
"The new Alliance is a coalition of forces comprised of the humans of Stormwind, the dwarves of Ironforge, the gnomes of Gnomeregan, the night elves of Darnassus, the draenei of Exodar, the high elves of the Argent Covenant, the worgen of Gilneas, the pandaren of the Earth and Water factions, the Lightforged draenei of Vidikar, the void elves of the Terroggus Rift, the dark iron dwarves of Darkforge, the mechagnomes of Mechagon, and the Blackguard Dragonsil of the Dragon Isles..."
Like the Alliance Republic, the guardians of Azeroth...
.......
"The new Horde consists of the orcs of Orgrimmar, the Darkspear trolls of Echo Isles, the tauren of Thunder Bluff, the Forsaken of Undercity, the blood elves of Silvermoon City, the goblins of Rustwater Harbor, the Firegold Pandaren of the Wandering Isle, the Nightborne of Suramar, the Highmountain tauren of Highmountain, the Mag'har orcs of Draenor, the Zandalari trolls of Zuldazar, the vultures of Vol'dun, and the Dragonshire of the Dragon Isles."
"Minor race members include some ogres, Mok'Nathal, some forest trolls of Hinterlands, yakmen of Northrend, and forest monkeys of Pandaria."
......
"The leader of the new Horde is called the Warchief. Since Thrall integrated parts of the old Horde with other allies to form the new Horde, there have been four Warchiefs: Thrall, Garrosh Hellscream, Vol'jin, and Sylvanas Windrunner."
"After the Fourth War, at Thrall's suggestion, the Horde abolished the position of Great Chieftain and instead adopted a political system jointly led by the leaders of various races."
.......
The teacher's explanation, though late, was timely... completely drowning out Marcus and Tylan's conversation, even though Lorraine was curious about what they were saying...
But the teacher's words are more important!
"It should still be Warchief Thrall now. At this time, many races hadn't fully joined yet, including goblins... Later, the Horde and Alliance had so many members... it felt like they were sharing the world..."
"Teacher, you can foresee the future!"
"You're only realizing this now? I've been telling you all along that I'm different from you, that I'm very capable. But these things should only be taken as a reference; the future is in your hands..."
"Yes, this world is complicated..."
“Yeah, for example, look at that guy over there. The legendary Lord General Marcus, the gatekeeper of Stormwind City in the Alliance, is a particularly old-fashioned and serious guy. Look at him now... Maybe this world is still a bit different from the one I know.”
Lorraine nodded, while Marcus across from him enthusiastically put his arm around Tyrande's shoulder, completely ignoring General Barry and Archmage Atal'akk, and also ignoring Lorraine's legion of the dead...
It was as if he came here just to see an old friend...
The lives and deaths of mortals are irrelevant to him...
