Tyrion did not tell Thales what he needed the high-level assassin to get back for him.
But it must be a very important thing, and the high-level assassin himself knows this very well. However, after drinking the bottle of "blood of demigods", the bond of cooperation and trust between the two parties has been established, and it is very "firm". As long as
If Thales still has sense, he won't do anything dangerous.
That's a smart person. Smart people are rarely manipulated by emotions. They can always make choices that are beneficial to themselves.
But for people who are not so smart, they often make very bad choices after being enveloped by intense emotions. For example, Ironforge at this time ushered in its own destiny in a chaotic chaos.
end.
Ironforge is the most important city of the Bronzebeard dwarves. More than 70% of the Bronzebeard dwarves live here. Even if King Magni took away more than half of his army, there are still nearly 250,000 dwarves in this city.
, and there were only more than 20,000 undead that invaded the city along the large tunnel, plus a few undead gronn and some black iron undead. The numbers of the two sides were not at the same level at all.
If there was one person who could stabilize the situation when disaster struck, the dwarves would never lose. But unfortunately, there was no such person, or in other words, this much-anticipated leader... came too late.
"Bang"
20 minutes before the attack started, the door to Ironforge's throne room was violently pushed open. Brian Bronzebeard, who hurried over, looked at the empty throne room. He subconsciously grabbed the guard officer guarding under the throne and shouted loudly.
shouted:
"Where has the king gone?"
"His Majesty Magni led his soldiers to fight the undead."
The captured guard chief was not angry either. He recognized Brian, the unkempt Prince of Ironforge. Seeing Brian's anxious face, the guard thought he was worried about the king's safety, so he comforted him carelessly:
"Don't worry, Brian, the king is very confident and has brought the best and most capable soldiers. They will be back soon."
"How much did he take?"
When Brian heard this, his expression became even more anxious. The guard also felt that something was wrong with the question, and he hurriedly answered:
"Two-thirds of the standing army has been taken away by the king, and the rest of the army is in the barracks, with the generals on standby."
"Oops!"
Brian's expression became even more panicked. He turned around and ran towards the military area. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell the guard:
"Hurry up and gather all the throne guards and go to the craftsman area. There are undead spies there! They want to destroy this place!"
"!!!"
When the guard captain heard the appalling news, he immediately cheered up, picked up the muster whistle at hand, put it to his mouth and blew it. The sharp whistle immediately alerted the entire throne guard patrolling around the throne room, and they immediately headed towards
He rushed towards the throne room.
No one doubted that Brian would lie. He was the king's younger brother. Lying at this time would not do him any good. The whistle also woke up Princess Moira who lived in the palace near the throne room. Although the distressed princess
She was very unhappy with her father, but after losing her husband, her father became her only support, so she finally returned to Ironforge.
Now, hearing the whistles of the throne guards, the princess who grew up in the palace immediately realized that something big had happened. She rubbed her belly with some fear. There was her and Thaurissan's only child... Mo
Ella gritted her teeth, and finally she quickly walked out of her palace and walked to the throne room.
One escape encounter in Shadowforge City was enough. In the following days, this rebellious princess who also inherited the resolute character of the Bronzebeard family would no longer allow herself and her children's fate to be controlled by others.
in hand.
"Kakakakakaka"
The sound of dwarf soldiers wearing heavy armor running sounded in the lanes of the craftsman area. Seeing the first soldier rushing towards the deepest tunnel in the craftsman area amidst the roar of the dwarf general, he stood next to the dwarf craftsmen and chatted with them.
A flash of light flashed in Keeshan's eyes. He looked back at the white-haired dwarf who had become very familiar in the past two days and whispered:
"Hi, my friend Oversbach, I'm going to do something next..."
"What?"
The master craftsman who was busy twisting the screws of an aircraft engine raised his head and saw foreman John's hands holding the silver steam cannon on the table. The dwarf felt something was wrong. The next moment, he saw John
The foreman picked up the big killing weapon and pointed it at the dwarf soldiers running out in front.
"You and your friends had better lie down under the table!"
Keeshan no longer needed to hide himself. He turned around and said coldly. Looking at the cold light shining in the foreman's eyes, master craftsman Oversback's scalp went numb. He screamed, rushed under the table and hid there.
Shivering, the next moment, the terrifying sound of machine gun fire sounded like thunder in the alleys of the craftsman district.
Like a dazzling fire snake, the dwarf soldiers who were caught off guard did not expect the bullets fired from behind. A dozen fully armed soldiers were beaten into a ball of steel without even being able to scream.
The sight of meat mixed with bone residue made Brian Bronzebeard, who was rushing over with the dwarf general, subconsciously lie down on the ground. Beside him, the dwarf general roared angrily and directed the remaining soldiers to use muskets.
fight back.
For a time, the entire craftsman area turned into a battlefield.
"Hey, Overback, don't be afraid."
Keshan put down the steel craftsman's table. He leaned behind the table and comforted the trembling white-haired dwarf beside him. He said softly:
"I am not your enemy. We are friends. We have had a good chat these two days."
"You! You killed someone!"
The Master Craftsman screamed amid the gunfire of the dwarves:
"You killed someone with a weapon I made, and now I'm an accessory, oh my God!"
"Don't be afraid, you will go to a good place."
Keeshan used his feet to pull the explosive packets scattered in front of him towards him. He held them in his hands and shook them up and down. These explosive packets handmade by the dwarf masters were very heavy, but for a strengthened undead,
, this weight is nothing.
"There, you can freely study whatever you want. Do you remember what we talked about?"
Keeshan said to the trembling timid dwarf:
"The steel spaceship flying in the sky, the golem that can carry the pilot, and the steam-powered super rifle... Those things that the dwarves forbid you to study because they are too dangerous, with us, you can study them at will.
..Man, you are a true genius. My boss always says that true genius should not be buried."
"Really...really?"
Overback touched his engineering goggles that were broken by bullets, and asked with difficulty:
"John, who do you work for?"
"We'll talk about this later! Give me your pistol!"
Keshan shouted, and the dwarf subconsciously handed him his protective pistol. Maybe to the dwarf, it was a shiny big gun, but to humans, this thing was just a heavy gun.
Keshan smiled and blinked. The undead would not feel afraid. The moment he heard the footsteps approaching slowly, he stood up from his hiding place and threw the explosive bag in his hand.
Towards the approaching dwarves.
"Bang"
The pistol handmade by Gnomeregan master craftsman Oversback made a low sound, and a bullet flew out of the barrel, accurately hitting the explosive package in the sky.
"boom"
The horrific explosion completely engulfed several dwarf soldiers below, and this huge vibration undoubtedly warned those who were still busy in the tunnel.
"Kishaan exchanged fire with them and they have found out."
Necromancer Menason looked back at the shadowy tunnel. He gave a few instructions to the other brothers, and then activated the communication circle.
"What's up?"
Grokush's deep voice came from the communication circle, and the necromancer said calmly:
"We've been discovered. You can go ahead and do whatever you want, but we can only give you a maximum of 10 minutes..."
"unnecessary!"
Grokush's voice came again:
"There are only the last 5 kilometers left. Get ready to evacuate. Leave the rest to us!"
A few minutes later, the ground in the Ironforge Craftsman District began to shake crazily. The dwarf soldiers who entered the large tunnel ran out in panic. What followed them was a huge, flesh-and-blood weapon that the dwarves had never seen before.
A colossus monster made of steel and over 10 meters tall.
"boom"
Gruul waved his steel arm, and the huge armor-piercing awl attached to his fist hit the ground in the craftsman area. The pure power rippled underground like an artillery explosion, and the defense line formed by the dwarf soldiers was easily destroyed.
Destroy it.
The steam tank that drove to the craftsman area was easily overturned by this giant beast. It was held in its hand like a piece of iron and was destroying the underground city crazily.
Behind them were 20,000 undead orcs. During the transportation of 30 black iron drilling machines, groups of undead infantry led by high-ranking knights soon appeared in Ironforge.
In various urban areas, this further strengthened the urban order that was gradually collapsing due to continuous fighting and shaking.
"B Company, I would like to think that Tyrion only values you because he is curious."
Grokush stood in front of Keeshan and his B Company, his green eyes full of admiration:
"But now, I know that you deserve this kind of attention and the resources spent on you... Now, dismiss and go to rest. I know that you don't want to get too much blood on your hands, so, next
Things will be done by me and my soldiers."
"Shua"
Keshan gave a military salute to Grokush, then pointed indifferently at the frightened dwarf craftsmen behind him who were surrounded by the undead, and said calmly:
"These craftsmen are all very outstanding engineering talents. According to His Majesty's requirements, they should be properly accommodated!"
"Very good, then you will escort them to Shadowforge City."
After saying that, Grokush turned and left without hesitation. The communication between the undead was so direct and would not involve too many personal feelings. Keeshan looked back at the master craftsmen at the front of the frightened dwarfs.
He whispered:
"My friends Overback, no one will hurt you now."
The dwarf craftsman who escaped with his life looked at his "friend" with complicated eyes, and then at the panicked compatriots behind him. After a moment, he lowered his head and said in a voice that was almost muttering:
"Thanks."

"Uncle! Uncle, Uncle Brian! Come on!"
In Ironforge, which was in chaos due to the appearance of the undead, Brian Bronzebeard was sneaking around carrying a bag of things and blending in with the crowd, trying to escape from his city, but all the dwarves were panicked by the undead's raid.
Lost in thought, seeing the slain dwarf soldiers standing up and joining the ranks of the undead, the resistance of the living completely collapsed.
Dwarf civilians are also very good at fighting, but no matter how good they are, they are still civilians. In the face of organized military power, their resistance is destined to fail.
Everyone wanted to escape, which resulted in the only exit of Ironforge being tightly blocked. There were a lot of curses and cries. There was only one gate. This unique design ensured that when foreign enemies invaded, the city would be difficult to break through.
, but once the city falls into chaos, this design will drag most of the city along with it.
Just as Brian was squeezing in the crowd, two black iron drilling machines suddenly rushed out from the hillside in front of the city entrance. The door of the black iron machine opened, and the wolf-like undead orcs waved their hands.
The weapon rushed towards the screaming crowd.
The whole crowd was in chaos in an instant. Seeing that the situation was not good, Brian rushed in the opposite direction and rushed into the center of the city. The place had become a battlefield, and while Brian was running panting, his
His niece Moira's voice suddenly sounded. Brian raised his head and saw Moira waving towards him at the entrance of the throne room.
When Brian ran over, he found that the throne room was already crowded with people, including forging masters, injured generals, etc. They were all very famous or masters of unique skills. Almost all of them were
gathered here, while his niece, the rebellious Bronzebeard Princess Moira, stood in front of the throne belonging to her father and shouted to all the dwarves:
"Ironforge cannot be defended anymore. We can't wait until my father comes back. No one wants to die, so I hope you will follow me and leave this city... Don't make any noise! I know the main entrance is impassable, so let's go
The secret passage...the secret passage to the back mountain."
"You're crazy!"
When Brian heard this, he suddenly rushed to the throne with numbness, took his niece's hand and shouted:
"That is a forbidden place! A secret place left by our ancestors. The most sacred and important secret of the dwarves is hidden there. Only the king is qualified to enter! Moira, you are not qualified to open it!"
"I'm not crazy! Uncle, this is our only chance to survive!"
Moira's eyes shone with a stubborn light. She waved her hand, and the guard captain beside her stepped forward and forced the noisy Brian aside. The guard captain lowered his voice:
"Prince Brian... stop making trouble. The princess convinced the other guards that no one here wants to die. If you continue to stop, I'm afraid everyone will..."
Brian gritted his teeth and looked at his niece who was shouting on the stage. For a moment, he felt that he had never really seen this rebellious niece clearly. What was she thinking?
"Open! For the survival of Ironforge! I order you, open it!"
The princess shouted to Axenus, the king's most trusted royal historian: "Open it! Axenus, there is no time to waste!"
"Yeah, open it!"
"Open it!"
Behind the princess, most of the prominent figures in Ironforge were shouting at the royal historian. Finally, the pale female dwarf turned around and took out the key. After a heavy sound, the only secret passage in Ironforge was revealed.
Appeared in front of everyone.
"Let's go, let's leave!"
Bronzebeard Princess Moira patted the royal historian's shoulder calmly and was the first to walk into the secret room. Her clenched fists were full of sweat, but her eyes were filled with a strange light.
