2. Conflict is imminent

There are no inherently chaotic races in this world, and there are no creatures with bad natures. When each life is born, it is like a piece of white paper, allowing the world to draw on this white paper. Different experiences shape different personalities.

Shaping different destinies, the supposedly noble black dragon princess Onyxia is a very straightforward example.

After the Source of Blood embraced the crazy Old God, all the newly born black dragons became no longer pure. During those ten thousand years ago, the fallen Earth Guardian Neltharion, also known as Deathwing,

It held the Dragon Soul and severely damaged the Aspect Dragon Legion, but the blood and power in its body like burning magma also tore its body apart, making it ferocious and crazy.

It needs a way to vent, so in the extreme tearing pain, it forces all its mates to mate with it, but every female dragon has its neck broken by it in the painful torture. The only way to survive is with the one who dies.

The dragon mother Xine Tesla, who was as powerful as a wing, persisted, and what made the dragon mother persist until the end was not her love for Neltharion. The dragon mother knew very well that her husband was dead, and she had already accepted it.

The moment the Old God's power came into play, Neltharion was already dead.

The mother dragon, covered in scars and with torn flesh and blood, carefully guarded her children in the shadow of Deathwing, but most of the hatched black dragon hatchlings were still killed by the crazy Deathwing.

Except for a few lucky ones, with the help of their mothers, they escaped from the hellish Abyss.

Onyxia is one of them. Her nature may not be bad, but there is a touch of darkness and madness from Deathwing's bloodline in her body. She longs to see all living beings fall and the world burn, although most of the time

, she can control this impulse very well, unlike her brother who is addicted to the desire for destruction.

But now, Ms. Onyxia, who has transformed into Countess Katarina Prestor, has a new trouble besides her crazy father and crazy brother, and in a sense

Said that this new trouble was more threatening than her brother and father.

Watching the dwarf vampire turn into little black bats flying in the sky and disappear before her eyes, Katarina's face became gloomy to the extreme. It was obvious that Tyrion, the Blade of Dawn, who had humiliated her, once again set his sights on her.

.

She gritted her teeth and thought about various ways to fight back, but in the end, she reached out angrily and picked up the letter on the table in front of her.

She lacks strength... After seeing the tip of the iceberg of the Dark Blade Knights commanded by Tyrion, the Black Dragon Princess is very clear that she currently does not have the ability or qualifications to fall out with Tyrion.

This letter was written in the Sarath language used by the high elves, and the feminine handwriting seemed to be written by a woman.

"My dear niece, long time no see. I heard that you had a very happy and popular stay in the Kingdom of Stormwind. Oh, and by the way, I really liked the black magic-patterned dress you wore during the ceremony in Stromgarde.

..”

The first sentence at the beginning made Onyxia startled. This sentence revealed a terrible news. During the founding ceremony of the Holy Arathor Empire, there must be an undead spy, or worse, Terry

Ang was hiding among the nobles who were watching the ceremony, but no one, including the most powerful paladins and priests in mankind, discovered him!

Thinking of this, Onyxia felt a slight chill on her neck. She put away her chaotic thoughts, forced herself to calm down, and continued to look down.

"I have a plan for the Kingdom of Stormwind, and it has already been implemented. What I want to tell you is, don't try to stop it. If you don't want to be crushed by the undead, in fact, I hope you will join me, my dear niece

, just like I promised you back then, after this matter comes to an end, you no longer need to worry about the threat from your crazy brother."

"In addition, do you want to be the savior of the Kingdom of Stormwind? Do you want to control a human kingdom with your own hands? Do you want countless humans to kneel at your feet, charge into battle because of your orders, and revel in joy because of you? You

Look, you can actually live your whole life in another way instead of hiding like a mouse in a corner of the world."

"I might as well say it directly. The black dragon is threatened by the four guardian dragon legions because of the mistakes your father made. But as long as you join us, I can guarantee that at least the bronze dragon legions will not look for you again.

Your trouble..."

Seeing this, Onyxia pursed her lips. She was a little reluctant to believe Tyrion's promise, but her reason told her that this might be true. She took a deep breath and continued reading.

The part that comes down.

"The Dark Age I started is coming. Either join me or become my enemy. Onyxia, I put the choice in your hands... If you are willing to become one of us, go

Room 13 on the third floor of the Golden Rose in the business district of Stormwind City, I have prepared two of the best guards for you."

"Loyal Ella will be the liaison between you and me, and she will convey new orders to you. My niece, don't use your brain...look up at the sky, I am watching you."

The last sentence made Onyxia subconsciously raise her head, only to see the carved top of the carriage. The next moment, the letter in her hand suddenly turned into a ball of cold crumbs, melting quickly in her hands.

Countess Caterina frowned. After thinking for several minutes, she made up her mind and said to the groom driving the carriage:

"Turn around and go get the gold roses!"

——————————————————————————————————————————————-

On the other side, just after Countess Catalina left, the expression of the moved Foreman Van Cleef became subtle. He looked back at his worried friend Alex, and he shook his head.

"Alex, do you believe the countess's promise?"

Van Cleef asked. The architect Alex's expression was a little strange, but when faced with this question, he still nodded:

"Ms. Katarina has a high reputation in Stormwind City. She is enthusiastic about helping civilians, so I am willing to believe that she will help us, but the purpose is definitely not to ensure the majesty of the king. I have long seen through the faces of these nobles...

.She should have her own purpose, but it’s hard to say what it is for. I prefer to believe that she is trying to bring down Sir Soma’s group of people, perhaps for political considerations.”

"And even if she is willing to help, it may be too late."

Van Cleef rubbed his forehead, sat back on the chair, and said softly:

"Sir Soma and that group of nobles mobilized private soldiers to threaten our associations in Moonbrook and Goldshire. These nobles are more shameless than bandits! We have to protect our members and our relatives."

"Bang bang bang"

As soon as Van Cleef finished speaking, there was a knock on the back door of the City Planning Department. Van Cleef took a few steps forward quickly and asked through the door:

"who?"

"It's me! Willy in black, open the door quickly, foreman, I have some news for you!"

Van Cleef opened the door, and a wretched guy wearing a black smock walked into the hall. His eyes moved flexibly, and there was a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said to Van Cleef:

"Who is that beautiful woman who left just now? God, she is so beautiful and has a great figure!"

"Don't ask any more questions!"

Van Cleef shook his head, poured Willy a glass of wine, and then asked in a low voice:

"What happened?"

"Uh, that's it, boss."

Foreman Van Cleef participated in the Orc War and became the leader of the Stonemason Brotherhood of the Kingdom of Stormwind after the war. He has a high reputation among this group of workers. Many members who were previously engaged in illegal activities prefer to call him "Boss", although

Van Cleef himself did not like this slightly rude title.

Willy in black's expression was a little gloomy, and he said softly:

"I just came back from Stranglethorn Vale by boat. Boss, you asked me to contact the goblins of the Venture Capital Company, but what I want to say is that the influence of the Venture Capital Company has been eliminated in Booty Bay. There seems to be a war there.

Although the Great Purge is still as lively as before, the number of guards there has increased a lot, so many merchants are unwilling to sell dangerous goods to us during this period."

"Oh, that's really bad."

Van Cleef sighed:

"The private soldiers of the nobles will come at any time. If we don't have enough weapons, should we let our brothers use forging hammers to resist them?"

"Listen, Van Cleef, I don't agree with this risky move."

Architect Alex advised:

"We can definitely seek the help of the local sheriff. Sir Soma has not yet reached the point of covering the sky with one hand. If we are buying and selling dangerous goods privately, once we are discovered, the people will not sympathize with us. This is very risky. You also heard Carter just now

Count Lena’s persuasion, if the conflict intensifies at this time, the consequences will be very bad.”

"You don't understand, Alex!"

Van Cleef's tone became deeper:

"You have never seen the ugly faces of those nobles. On the battlefield at that time, my brothers and I fought desperately to capture an orc outpost. We should have received military honors, but in the end we were beaten by those who were gilded on the battlefield.

The noble children took away all the honors. They only gave us a measly 100 gold coins...Listen to me, King Varian is indeed a good king, but his throne is too high and he can't see what's under the throne.

Shadow, we can't put our hope in anyone else."

"Uh, boss, listen to me!"

Willy in black saw the two bosses arguing. He quickly raised his hand and said:

"Although the venture capital company is gone, before I left, some special goblins found me. They expressed their willingness to help us and sell us muskets and gunpowder, but they asked for a high price, but they also said that they can be used

Other things are mortgaged, such as the mines in Yuexi Town."

"Huh? Another gang of goblins?"

Van Cleef frowned: "What kind of force are they?"

Willy in black scratched his head: "It seems to be called the Dark Blade Consortium. They are very generous and are even willing to provide us with some of the latest "chemical weapons" or mercenary services. Uh, I don't know what that means.

But it sounds awesome."

"Wait, you said they are willing to provide mercenary services?"

Van Cleef, who had been on the battlefield, certainly understood what mercenaries meant. He rubbed his chin, and after a moment, he nodded:

"Willy, go to Booty Bay again, find the Dark Blade Consortium, and say that we are willing to use one-tenth of the mine's property rights as collateral. We need 200 mercenaries to protect our association and members! If possible

, get another batch of weapons over, we have to be fully prepared!"

"I know, boss, I'll go right away."

Willy in black drank another glass of wine and hurriedly left the City Planning Department.

The Stonemasons Brotherhood is a very united organization, and its members are all from the civilian class. Everyone helps each other, especially with a leader like Van Cleef who is qualified and willing to take responsibility. Faced with the situation of being bullied by the nobles, all the members seem to be screwed up.

Like a rope.

"What about you, Van Cleef?"

Alex, who was still a little worried, looked at his good friend who grew up with him and asked, "Are you going to help our members?"

"No, I stay in Stormwind City!"

Van Cleef turned to Alex and said:

"I will not leave here until the matter is over. I will continue to fight until all the brothers have received sufficient rewards. I want those nobles to know that we will not succumb to their power! Neither the orcs have.

Even they can’t defeat me!”

"Justice is still shining, it will never be extinguished!"
