In the twentieth year of the Dark Portal calendar, at the intersection of autumn and winter, on the land of the former Kingdom of Lordaeron, near the Plaguelands in the east and west, as night was about to fall, the first battle finally fell here. Snow, which indicates that winter in the northern hemisphere of the eastern continent has officially arrived.
On this day, in the northern area of Stratholme in the Eastern Plaguelands, two important events happened that could be recorded in the chronology of Azeroth's history and that could shock the entire planet of Azeroth.
The first big thing is:
The Fire Queen of unknown origin, leading her Fire Kingdom army of equally unknown origin, brazenly launched a massive offensive against the undead natural disaster at the moment when the creatures in the Eastern Kingdom were most desperate and frightened.
It only took the Fire Elemental Corps two days to wipe out all the undead natural disaster troops in the Eastern Plaguelands, north of Blackwood Lake, including the strategic military town of Stratholme!
According to incomplete statistics, their Flame Empire killed nearly 200,000 undead and natural disaster troops in the past two days. In the battle to capture Stratholme, they also killed the demon race affiliated with the Burning Legion, the fear lord Varimathras of the Nathrezim clan. And their corpse was made into a specimen and hung on the wall near the entrance of the city gate of the newly built capital of their Kingdom of Fire - the City of Fire!
The second big thing is:
The powerful and mysterious Fire Queen of the Fire Kingdom, the Daughter of Fire, the powerful demigod - Queen Anne Hastur, she was at the top of Stratholme City they had just captured, and the one who rushed after hearing the news The great commander of the Burning Legion, the great demon, Archimonde the Defiler, fought an earth-shattering and shockingly powerful super war.
According to records, after the battle between them smashed countless mountains, burned countless seas of fire, and sacrificed countless heroic fire elements, their fire element queen finally succeeded in repelling Archimonde. The most powerful demon that has ever walked the world of Azeroth!
Since this incident, the Fire Kingdom and their Majesty the Queen have become unparalleled in the northern region of the Eastern Continent. They not only frightened the Burning Legion and the Undead Scourge, but also attracted countless refugees from Lordaeron who had not had time to cross west or flee south. Or other creatures, all left their original refuges and flocked to the Eastern Plagueland, flocking to this place shrouded in the light of the Flame Queen in order to seek shelter...
(Here, I have to mention one more thing: Countless years later, archaeologists of all races verified that the fire elements in the Fire Kingdom were actually people locked up in a plane prison by the Titans in ancient times. Minions of the Ancient God! The magical prison where the fire elements are imprisoned is a fire elemental plane called the Land of Fire. This is consistent with the origins described by the fire elements!
But the strange thing is that historians of all races can't find out why that mysterious and powerful little human girl became the queen of the Fire Kingdom. And gained the support of the fire elements? Because, according to archaeological discoveries, in the Titan documents left behind on the planet Azeroth, the original leader of the Land of Fire should have been a powerful fire elemental lord known as the Lord of Fire - Ragnaros!
However, why was it that after the Firelord Ragnaros was summoned to Blackstone Mountain by King Thaurissan of the Dark Iron Dwarves, this little girl inexplicably replaced him and became the Queen of the Fire Land? What is the connection between her and Ragnaros, the Firelord? Are they father and daughter? Or is it to seize power?
In this regard, although many people have asked about the fire elements that have since spread all over the planet Azeroth, it is a pity that those fire elements either choose to remain silent, or simply say they don't know, or they keep it secret and look around. For him.
In the end, this matter can only become a big mystery in the archaeological community of Azeroth, causing speculation and gossip among many good people, and they wrote thousands of different versions of the Queen's origin and biography...
Actually, history is like this. Archaeologists just like to mess around and write nonsense, especially those dwarf archaeologists. They dare to dig into the prison where Titans imprisoned ancient gods! )
…
Well, in fact, the above two things are all recorded in the official documents of the later Fire Kingdom. What is the specific situation? The fire elementals who were present at the time, as well as the members of the envoy sent by the Kingdom of Lordaeron to watch the battle, did not see it that way at all...
Regarding the first thing, the members of the Kingdom of Lordaeron’s viewing group, those humans cannot argue with anything! Because these things are all real achievements on the surface. Whether it is the Dread Demon King who was killed, the undead natural disasters that were eliminated, and the territories captured, these things are all well-documented. Too much room for debate.
But they didn't dare to be so complimentary about the second incident recorded in the Fire Kingdom's official documents.
The two sides did engage in an earth-shattering super battle with astonishing power, but... that was only at the beginning; countless mountains were destroyed, countless seas of fire were burned, and countless heroic fire elements were sacrificed to defeat Ah. They sneered at the matter of Kermond.
They had watched the whole battle. It was an irrefutable fact that Archimonde was defeated, but where were the things like smashing mountains and burning into seas of fire? Even the fire elemental didn't die much, right?
They remembered very clearly that at the beginning of the confrontation, the terrifying great demon Archimonde was really extraordinary. He summoned thousands of green evil hellfires, and those green meteorites were like the ones below. Like rain, it was densely packed and kept hitting the city head area of Stratholme, and soon it was in a melee with the fire elemental legions. Although this melee between the brothers from both sides didn't last long, it was a shocking, weeping, super collision of strength and strength that can't be faked! On this point, their spectator group agreed very much!
After seeing the big demon take the lead, the queen of the fire elements quickly began to prepare for a counterattack. At that time, the members of the spectator group had seen that she seemed to have gathered a large amount of magic power and guided all the fire power in the original Stratholme city area that was caught in the sea of fire. It did not take long for her to guide After finishing the spell, the momentum at that time seemed to be simply huge, and it scared people to death. It was as if the goddess of fire descended to earth in person. It caused a big shock to the members of the watching group...
And what next? And then...and then it's gone!
right! You read that right! The ones at the back are indeed gone!
Just when the members of the spectator group in Lordaeron were preparing to risk their lives to watch a god-level super battle at close range, when the fire elemental army was still fighting fiercely with the falling evil hellfire... let Lordaeron All the members of the Kingdom's spectator group were collectively dumbfounded when something happened...
The demigod queen who had already channeled the spells and was about to take action to use the heaven-destroying and earth-destroying magic, she actually dissipated the spell so inexplicably? Then she pointed her little hand arrogantly at the nose of Archimonde, the big demon, and said something arrogant, and then... the big demon actually nodded and patted his butt. Just turn around and leave? Before he left, he actually kindly dismissed the massive hellfires summoned by him?
The envoys from the former Kingdom of Lordaeron were instantly confused. They had no idea whether something happened between the two sides that they didn't know about. Or maybe there was a big battle in a mysterious realm they couldn't see?
Did you agree to fight until death? What about the promised god-level super battle? What about destroying the world and moving mountains and seas as promised?
Why, just a moment ago, these two people were saying harsh words to each other, wanting to ridicule the two enemies, and wanting to go forward and kill each other with a knife. After a wordless look at each other, the two brothers were just like each other, and suddenly they were like each other. Give up? What kind of international joke is this?
In the eyes of the humans watching the battle, you, a great demon of the Burning Legion, have just summoned so many green fire monsters, and now they are still falling down continuously. It seems that you are still fighting vigorously with the fire elements. There are winners and losers for each other, but you don’t see any big disadvantages between them? Why did you, the boss, suddenly give up?
Moreover, you, Archimonde, are not necessarily weaker than that Flame Queen in terms of size and surging power, so why did you suddenly give in? Could it be that you saw that the little girl was too cute, so you couldn’t bear to do anything to her?
besides! The same goes for the Flame Queen. You have created such a massive formation and the spell has been channeled, so why don't you rush out? Whether you blow up that Archimonde or grill him, or even if your magic blows up the entire planet of Azeroth and lets everyone play with it, they won't be like this now. Unacceptable...
Therefore, after watching the big demon Archimonde turn around and walk away, the first thing that the members of the spectator group who were excluded from the time loop thought of was: What on earth is going on? ? What about the promised war of the century? Why did you stop fighting so suddenly? Isn't this too anticlimactic? They, the gourmet audience, absolutely cannot accept it!
The second thing that came to my mind was: There must be something shady inside this damn thing!
Could it be... that the little girl used some magic that they couldn't see to defeat this demon? Or... what kind of shady deal was done between the two of them? Or...does this little girl have something to do with that demon? Otherwise, why would they suddenly stop fighting?
You know, just a moment ago, they were still talking harsh words to each other. The fire elementals and hellfires under their men had already started fighting hand-to-hand, and the two bosses were about to have their heads smashed out! But...why is the final result like this?
"Um... Captain, how should we write a report when we go back? Do they... seem to have some special relationship?"
The same timid cavalryman asked, now they don't know how to describe what happened before them after they go back...
Could it be that the big devil and the little girl queen, after saying harsh words to each other for a while, threw countless meteorites on one side, while the other side finished channeling super spells, and then... they suddenly shook hands and made peace. ?
"Okay, there's nothing to see anymore, let's go back! As for the report... I will know how to write it, you don't need to worry about it!"
After thinking for a while, the captain finally spoke. Compared to the cowardly recruit who kept clamoring to escape early, as the captain of this spectator group, he observed much more carefully.
He discovered that when the great demon Archimonde turned around to leave, his face was full of grief, anger and helplessness, and his gloomy expression made him want to tear him apart alive. It definitely didn't look like he was pretending to do it. He definitely was. I was forced to leave!
If you think about it carefully, the subordinates of the opposing sides have already started fighting in hand-to-hand combat. The losses caused by those green hellfires to the red fire elemental legions were definitely not small. Meteors fell from high altitudes for free, and there must have been casualties of three to five thousand. Now, in the Stratholme city head area , those fire element corpses lying motionless are enough to explain everything!
Therefore, after analyzing all the circumstances, the other party, the big demon named Archimonde, must have suffered a big loss at the hands of that little girl! So much so that he gave in and had to leave!
So... this little girl is actually more powerful than this big demon? In other words... what methods does she have that can make Archimonde extremely afraid of her?
But no matter what, now, the powerful power displayed by this Flame Queen is beyond doubt! So, it's time for them to go back now. Perhaps Commander Dathrohan and Grand Marshal Garithos should also face the existence of the Fire Kingdom. No matter how the relationship between the two parties is handled, from the perspective of the cavalry captain, being in a hostile relationship with the Flame Kingdom will only be the worst choice! I hope those leaders above will not make such stupid and inferior mistakes...
"Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen!!"
When he saw the great demon Archimonde, he stopped and turned away. He also disbanded all the summoned hellfires and let them fall apart and turned into a pile of useless green rocks. The fighting Flame Legions Only then did I finally realize that the enemy seemed to have escaped on his own? So, they immediately cheered loudly! Because, they discovered that it seemed that their powerful Queen had beaten away the ferocious demon!
"Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen!!!"
Compared to the surprise and puzzlement of some humans, the fire elements didn't think so much about the twists and turns.
They only know that their great Queen has just defeated the powerful demon, and their fire element has won this battle!
This indicates that after their initial victory, their fire elements have completely established a foothold in the world of Azeroth! Now, they have occupied this large area of land that is enough for the fire elements to survive. Therefore, for all their fire elements, this is a glorious victory worthy of their cheers!
"Congratulations, my respected and great Her Majesty the Queen! Congratulations on defeating such a powerful enemy! Your light is like the sun in the sky, hot and bright, and will surely lead our fire element to infinite glory!"
Seeing that Her Majesty the Queen had driven away her opponent so easily, Shane Knox immediately ran over and complimented her.
"You must be the messenger given to us by the great God of Fire. I, Shane Knox, swear here that we fire demons and other fire elements will be loyal to you forever and follow your footsteps until the end of the world. ! We are your strongest shield and sharpest spear, crushing all your enemies for you and letting them all prostrate themselves under your light..."
Although Shane Knox felt a little incredible, he didn't think too much about it. Anyway, their Flame Kingdom had won the final victory under the leadership of Her Majesty the Queen. This was enough!
And after discovering that those green hellfires had fallen apart on their own and turned into a pile of useless rocks, with nothing to do and no need to direct the battle, it hurriedly ran to this section of the city wall that was still intact. On top of it, he knelt down next to Queen Anne and flattered her with all kinds of compliments and praises. Of course, in the end, he would not forget to express his loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen...
"Oops! Okay, okay! You can take care of things here by yourselves. I'm very tired now and want to go back and have a good sleep first!"
Little Annie doesn't want to worry about the toady Shane Knox. This old fire demon is really getting more and more cunning now. She won't be fooled by his few words!
Stratholme, who had been fighting with these fire elements for a long time today, even missed his nap.
Just now, I had another fight with Archimonde. I worked hard, battled wits and courage, and used hundreds of different spells. This was really not the work of a human being!
Now, little Annie felt very tired, especially mentally, she felt particularly exhausted. After hundreds of spells, although there is no big impact on her body, after all, time has returned, but... the mental load cannot be alleviated by time return, otherwise, the big demon will not be able to Are you going to give in so quickly? He felt tired even when he was being beaten. Could it be that he could bear being beaten?
You know, Anne herself is just mentally exhausted, but what about the other party? It is a double torture of both physical and mental. After being beaten with hundreds of super spells and without a suitable counterattack, I am afraid no one can bear it, right?
But no matter what, today's matter is over anyway. The big devil has signed a confidentiality agreement with her. He will not come here again for the time being... So, little Annie decided to go back to the palace of Flame Canyon first. , have a good night's rest, and sleep until the sun basks in the sun tomorrow. As for what happens next...
Huh? She doesn't seem to have any special arrangements, right? What else will happen next? Let’s talk about tomorrow’s matters tomorrow!
"Yes! My Majesty, I will definitely handle things here properly, don't worry."
After Shannox heard this, he quickly bent down deeply and sent his Majesty away respectfully. It wasn't until he saw Anne walking into the portal and disappearing that he straightened up and sent someone to summon him. Here comes his nephew, Hunter Chief Shaturu. Now that the war is over, it's time to get down to business.
"Shatulu, tell me right away, let the flame demons quickly transform this place, and strive to transform this place into a flaming city suitable for the survival of our fire elements before the cold winter comes. This is the first priority!"
Shane Knox frowned as he looked at the small snowflakes falling from the sky that were melted and evaporated by the high temperature fire in Stratholme before they even hit the ground. It's just a light snow now. Once it snows heavily in the future, if the transformation project is not completed by then, it will be very detrimental to the fire element creatures!
"By the way, you also need to remember to send an engineering team to build a splendid and majestic Queen's Palace in the middle of the city. It must not only be tall! It must also look majestic! You must not cut corners like the one in the Temporary Camp of Flame Canyon , do you understand?"
Shannox plans to transform Stratholme into a royal city of the Fire Elemental Kingdom in the world of Azeroth.
Perhaps, from now on, this place should no longer be called Stratholme. So, what should it be called...the Land of New Fire? Or the City of Queens? You need to think about this slowly, don't be too anxious. After all, the construction of this city is a long-term project! Anyway, the cold winter is not suitable for the activities of the fire elements, so they might as well just sit here and build slowly.
"Um... Mr. General Manager, how tall do you want him to be? How majestic do you want him to be?"
Shatulu is not very clear about this meaning. He should give an indicator, right? So, it quickly asked. It was afraid that if what was built was not satisfactory to the general manager, it would be relatively easy to tear it down and start over again, but it would inevitably be beaten by the general manager!
"Hmm... Then follow the scale of the Saffron Palace in the Land of Fire! You should understand now, right? Then, build two large flame portals on both sides of the palace in the middle of the city!"
Anyway, Shane Knox was already planning to hold them on Her Majesty Queen Anne's thighs. From now on, their fire elements will settle here.
Now, Queen Anne of their Fire Kingdom is so evil. She has driven away such a powerful demon, so other miscellaneous fish will not dare to come here to act recklessly, right?
Therefore, with such a powerful demigod as their backer, no one can easily drive their fire elements back to the land of fire! Therefore, it is completely feasible to build a fire element city and settle down here!
"That's right! You also need to remember that outside our city of flames, right where the big demon stood just now, a huge statue of our Majesty the Queen must be built. It must be taller than the one named Archimonde. , and then use the words of our fire demon and the common language of Azeroth to record today’s Queen’s achievements, and the stone tablet with the words inscribed must be large, do you understand?”
After calling out Shaturu who was about to leave, Shane Knox quickly expressed his thoughts again. This was the best way to demonstrate Queen Anne's strength and deter those bastards who had ill intentions towards the fire element. !
From now on, any creature that comes here will see it at first glance: Her Majesty, the queen of the fire element, was here to defeat the powerful and arrogant leader of the Burning Legion, the Defiler - Akmon. Virtue!
…
The battle of Stratholme has come to an end, and in the hands of Tyr, in the lord's mansion here, Osmar Garithos, the Grand Marshal of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, is looking at a piece of paper in his hand with dark eyes. The letter written by Dasohan himself and delivered by the courier Kuai Ma only mentioned three things in total:
First, Dathrohan has successfully convinced most of the refugees in the Flame Canyon and borrowed some troops from the fire demon to escort a large number of them back to the Holy Light's Hope Chapel. I think they should come on the way. There won't be any surprises.
Second, on the morning when they led the refugees to set off, the queen of the fire elements, Anne Hastur, actually launched an offensive against the undead natural disaster north of Blackwood Lake. Her intention was probably Capture the entire Stratholme region! And Dathrohan has sent a small team of cavalry envoys as a spectator group. They will pay attention to the opponent's actions and evaluate the opponent's combat power throughout the process.
Thirdly, this matter is also the most important of the three. He, Dathrohan, told him a piece of great news in his letter: he actually found them in Lordaeron in the refugee camp in the Flame Gorge. The last royal member of the kingdom, princess-Kalia Menethil! It turns out that the Menethil royal family of the Kingdom of Lordaeron is not extinct, and they are about to welcome back the princess of their own kingdom!
When Generalissimo Garithos suddenly saw this, he almost wanted to curse on the spot!
Those fire elements went to the north to seize the territory of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but now, Dathrohan actually came to cause trouble for him? This is really unreasonable! Garithos originally thought that the Menethil royal family should have been dead long ago, but he actually found Princess Kaliya? Just at this critical time?
Now, the princess is back. Although Garithos will still be the Grand Marshal of the Lordaeron Alliance in the future, he can also imagine that he will never be the Grand Marshal before... In the future, his position will be... There will also be a kingdom princess who will crush him, even... the queen of Lordaeron?
If... if there was no Princess Kalia, once Garithos regained his homeland of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, then he would be a hero of the entire Lordaeron and the Alliance, and even a hero of mankind!
Then, with this merit, it is not impossible for him to be crowned king in one fell swoop!
But now? No chance! Even if the country was regained and the undead were expelled, it was all done under the leadership of the great Princess Kalia. Princess Kalia can smoothly add a major stroke to her upcoming queen's crown - a revived princess? The Queen of ZTE?
And he, Garithos, is at most just a general under the Queen's command! By then, who will still remember him?
Grand Marshal Garithos can already imagine that once Princess Kalia returns to Tire's hands, from now on, the remaining forces of the Kingdom of Lordaeron will no longer be centered around him, Marshal Garithos. They will no longer obey his orders, because they have a better object of allegiance and a bigger flag!
Alas... time is with me...
Just when Garithos was frowning and sighing after seeing the letter, and preparing to deal with the upcoming Princess Kalia, a soldier who ordered the order came in at the right time.
"Report! Your Majesty the Grand Marshal, five high elves of Quel'Thalas flying on dragon eagles flew outside. They claimed to be the envoys of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and said they had important matters and needed to meet with the Hand of Tyr. The highest officer here, and inform humans about some things about the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas."
"Hmph! The envoy of Quel'Thalas? Those long-eared elves who keep repeating themselves? It is said that they have been seriously harmed by that bastard from Alsace? Why don't you just stay in the north and lick your wounds? Come to our Kingdom of Lordaeron when you have time?"
Garithos frowned, pondered for a while and said. He put himself in their shoes and couldn't understand the purpose of the elves' coming at this moment. He had heard about it, but the other party had been seriously harmed by Alsace's undead army before. , although in the end, they inexplicably won the battle, Quel'Thalas has become riddled with holes. Now they should take advantage of this opportunity where the undead have not yet taken action, and quietly lurk in Quel'Thalas. Sarasiri, you should take your time to regain your strength, right?
You know, the main force of the Undead Scourge is all here in Lordaeron, even the demons that have recently descended! They elves have every chance to shrink back and develop, just like they have done for more than two thousand years. But now, they have long ears and run out at this time. What kind of trouble are they going to make? Don't you think there aren't enough things going on here in Garithos?
"Your Excellency, Marshal? Do you want to see them?"
The soldier didn't dare to answer the marshal's words, and he didn't know how to answer. After all, he was just a small soldier. He came here just to convey a message. Whether or not he would see the marshal depended on the marshal's words. What was the use of telling him so much? ?
"Forget it, there's nothing to do anyway, so let's meet them! Wait a minute. You can invite them to the castle hall now. I'll go there when I'm ready."
In the end, Garithos thought about it and decided to meet the elf envoys, but before going to meet, he needed to put on his general marshal's outfit, so as not to weaken the human momentum! He wanted to see what those high elves with long ears wanted to do when they came here!
