Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

Ravenholdt Manor is no stranger to thieves players in World of Warcraft, and it will become an important base for thieves in the future.

However, the Duke of Ravenholdt at this time was not the famous Duke of Thieves, Jorach, but his father, Joseph Ravenholdt, and this manor was not yet a sanctuary for thieves.

Ravenholdt Manor is located in the mountains at the junction of the Hinterlands and Hillsbrad. It is located in a very secluded location. It is a leisure resort built by the Duke Ravenholdt family on the edge of the territory.

The Ravenholdt family belongs to the Kingdom of Alterac, and like Barov, they are the most important right-hand men of the Perenold royal family.

After the core blood of the Perenold royal family was completely cut off, the nobles who had married the contemporary King Aiden of Perenold jumped out one after another.

The opportunity to be the king of a country is a temptation that no nobleman can refuse, and Ravenholdt is no exception.

At this time, the old Duke Joseph was taking refuge in Southsea Town, and by the way, he was discussing the succession of the throne with the old Duke Lex of Barov and other Alterac nobles.

The territory of the Ravenholdt family is located east of the Tarren Mill River and west of Thoradin's city wall. It is a very coherent territory. The capital of the territory is located in the east wall castle near the coastline.

In comparison, the territory of the Barov family is rather strange.

Except for Caer Darrow Island, which is the core of the territory, the territories they purchased are scattered and scattered. Tarren Mill, Southshore Town, and even Brill are all their territories in name.

The two duke families have similar status in the Alterac Kingdom, and neither of them obeys the other. If there is no accident, the next king of Alterac should be elected between them.

After the Horde captured Durnholde Castle unexpectedly, Joseph Ravenholdt, who lived in the East Wall Fortress, was worried that the Horde would continue to attack Ravenholdt's lair, so he led the core members of the family to Southshore Town for shelter. .

However, contrary to Joseph's expectations, the tribe's attention was all focused on the offensive and defensive battle with the Alliance in the Taren Mill River area, and they did not attack Ravenholdt's capital until Saurfang led a large army to leave.

However, just in case, Duke Ravenholdt did not plan to go back until it was confirmed that the tribe was defeated, and it happened to be here that he continued to chat with Barov about the succession of the throne.

When Andrea arrived at Ravenhold Manor, the place was already empty, and it could be seen that the servants of the manor were very panicked when they evacuated, and they didn't even close the gate, which happened to give Andrea a good temporary Hidden stronghold.

While waiting for the Wildhammer dwarf messenger to arrive, Andrea changed into a golden eagle form and wandered around outside the extreme alert range of the subspecies black dragon.

The ogres headed by Cho'gall have been obediently staying in the ruins of Alterac Castle, and seem to have no intention of continuing to act for the time being.

And the deformed black dragon transformed from a dragon vein troll seems to be very satisfied with its current form, soaring in the sky with high spirits all day long, and Andrea was chased by some of the dragons when he got closer.

With the flying speed of the golden eagle, these dragons can only follow behind to eat the wake, and they can't catch up with Andrea at all.

The Battle of Lordaeron has already begun, but a war of this scale cannot be won in a day or two, and both sides are ready for a long-term war.

Although Orgrim has more than 300,000 orcs and trolls in his hands, due to the lack of spellcasters and heavy siege weapons, his siege strategy is not too aggressive because of time constraints.

Since he had only suffered a defeat in Quel'Thalas before, Orgrim was very vigilant against the combined forces of the high elves and night elves behind him, and deployed a lot of defensive troops behind him.

Dai Lin, who was stationed in Xilud City, wanted to lead the attack many times, but the Horde's tightly defended flank prevented him from finding a suitable time to attack.

In the city, Turalyon led the initially formed Knights of the Silver Hand out of the city several times to launch attacks. With the high mobility of the cavalry, they burned down many siege equipment built by the tribes.

But Tirisfal Woods is full of wood, and Orgrim let the hard workers take three shifts to cut down trees 24 hours a day. Although Turalyon's actions can boost morale, they can't affect the overall situation. what effect.

Andrea can keep abreast of the situation on the front line at any time through the news sent by the shadow familiar sent by the young apprentice Niyana in the Royal City of Lordaeron.

The troops led by Shandris did not try a wave of aggressive tactics. Because the tribe reached the Tirisfal Forest first, they seized a lot of favorable highland defensive terrain. If they rushed forward, they might be ambushed by the tribe from both wings, and the gains outweighed the losses.

This is also because the army crossing the sea this time did not carry enough heavy air force, otherwise the Chimera could have been bombed all the way, and the problem would have been solved by flattening even the top of the mountain.

But if this is really done, it is estimated that Lordaeron will grit its teeth with anger when rebuilding after the war.

Ten days after Andrea arrived at Ravenholdt Manor, the offensive and defensive battles near Lordaeron are still going on, and there is no decisive trend for the time being.

Guided by Priscim, the messenger of the Wildhammer dwarves finally sneaked out of the forest to the rear of Ravenholdt Manor.

As expected, since Prism reported Andrea's name and identity, the emissary sent by the Wildhammer dwarves this time was the king's younger brother, the Great Lord of the Wildhammer Kurdran.

"Hey buddy!"

Although Kurdran met Andrea for the first time, he did not look unfamiliar at all, and shook Andrea warmly with his thick and big hands.

"I didn't expect the leader of the night elves to cross the sea to participate in the battle in the Eastern Continent. If Falstad wasn't too busy, he would have planned to come and meet you in person."

Andrea smiled gently, "It's okay, I can understand the difficulties of the Wildhammer dwarves."

Although the main force of the Horde has withdrawn from the Hinterlands, the troops left behind by the Vilebranch trolls still threaten the safety of the Wildhammer dwarves. Mutated black dragon, Wildhammer has a lot to worry about.

In the previous battle, the Eagle's Nest Mountain was attacked and burned from the rear by the Horde. The Wildhammer dwarves are actively rebuilding their homeland. Living at the foot of the mountain with weak defenses is not a long-term solution after all.

"I know that dwarves are straight-tempered, so I won't go around the bush. Let's make a long story short."

After a brief greeting, Andrea said seriously, "Just like the signal Prism sent to you, I intend to clean up the subspecies of black dragons and ogres in Alterac Snow Mountain."

"As long as this group of turds are taken care of, the Wildhammer dwarves should be able to free up some air force to launch an attack on Dunholde Castle and Thoradin's Wall, and then push Stormgard's reinforcements from Thoradin's Wall. The other end is free."

"It can be said that the black dragons and trolls entrenched in Alterac are the key to breaking the current situation."

Kurdran is an excellent vanguard, but his overall perspective is not as good as that of his brother Falstad.

Andrea's description was as simple as possible, and the great lord still thought for a while before recovering.

"In other words, you want our Wildhammer dwarves to fight those black dragons in the sky? What about the ogres on the ground?"

Andrea said confidently, "Of course I'm also ready to deal with the ogres. At this moment, the Barov family's Kael Darrow Island should have prepared enough troops, as long as the Wildhammer can entangle the ogres in the air." Black dragons, the few ogres are nothing to fear."
