Chapter 109 Jialin's Longzhong Strategy

Orphis had no choice but to cooperate secretly with Emperor Thaurissan. The two had the same goal, which was to overthrow the slavery of the Fire Lord and lift the pressure on the Dark Iron Dwarves.

But the two have different philosophies. Emperor Thaurissan wanted to liberate his compatriots because the Firelord was oppressing him and hindering the Thaurissan royal family's rule over the Dark Iron Dwarves, while the Thorium Brotherhood wanted to liberate their compatriots.

Emperor Thaurissan is not a benevolent emperor. He rules his subjects very harshly. Even if one's short-term goals coincide with his, the Dark Iron compatriots may not necessarily live a good life after the Fire Lord is overthrown.

Humans are different. They have a good relationship with the Bronzebeard dwarves and often trade with the Wildhammer dwarves. Apart from being a little greedy in business, it has never been heard that humans have enslaved any race. At least their reputation is good.

Along the way, Offist became more convinced that he had chosen the right path.

Garin brought Offist to the town hall, and they sat down to discuss.

The reason why he wanted to establish a good relationship with the Thorium Brotherhood was because he was eyeing the first orange weapon in World of Warcraft.

"Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros the Firelord", an orange one-handed hammer, is the weapon of Ragnaros, the Firelord. This hammer is the first magic weapon in the game, with the highest attack damage. And the highest single-shot damage.

To forge this weapon, one of the two items is Sulfuron's Hammer. The forging drawings are in the Thorium Brotherhood. The Brotherhood is not a hostile force, and is also considered an enemy of the Firelord. There is no need to use force. Forming an alliance is a good idea.

Harmony is the most important thing for everyone. Harmony is the most important thing for everyone.

At least Garin can save the effort of earning reputation and donating materials, right?

"I, the Duke of Tokaral, am willing to form an alliance with your Thorium Brotherhood and help each other in the Burning Plains!"

Garin turned his mind back to reality, and turned his thoughts from the orange hammer. After all, it was still nowhere to be seen, so he had to improve his reputation first.

"My Thorium Brotherhood is very happy to be an ally of His Royal Highness the Prince, and to stand together with him!"

Oh, Garin vaguely felt a prompt pop up that the reputation of the Thorium Brotherhood had reached friendly.

"I will let Jinli stay in this port and command the Thunder Legion stationed here. At the same time, the manpower of this legion will also be used to help the Brotherhood accumulate strength!"

"That's great. The Brotherhood currently has tens of thousands of compatriots, most of whom are civilians. Although our blacksmiths are qualified warriors, they are insufficient in number. We will hire warriors from the Thunder Legion with generous rewards to complete our mission."

Oh wow, the Brotherhood’s reputation has been elevated to respected!

"As far as I know, there is a group of Dark Iron Dwarves who do not belong to Darkforge Castle at Ironforge Peak in the Burning Gorge. They are led by a hill lord named Rendaen."

Garin recalled his memories of the intelligence on the Dark Iron Dwarves from his previous life and continued.

"I remember that he is a mercenary lord. The Brotherhood has no shortage of money and treasures. We can try to win him over to fight against Darkforge Fortress together."

"In fact, we already had some cooperation, and Rendaen was more inclined towards us. After all, our compatriots cursed by the Fire Demon King are more irritable and cunning, and are not good partners!"

"The next five years will be a critical period. A large number of alien creatures from the southern swamps are invading Stormwind Kingdom. They are numerous and strong. Stormwind Kingdom is no match for them. We need all the strength of the Eastern Continent to unite and fight against them. By then, Ironforge and Aerie Mountain will join the human alliance. I hope you can join on behalf of the Dark Iron Dwarves."

Ophisto's face changed and he was very surprised. A creature from another world?

"Your Highness, is the information accurate?"

"I've already explored it in advance. They are setting up a camp. There are dozens of legendaries in the entire race. By then, there will be no force south of Arathi Highlands to resist their attack, not even Ironforge!"

Ophist was shocked. He believed that the prince would not joke about the destiny of a country. The strongest races in the eastern continent were humans, dwarves and high elves. How could they be beaten and lose most of their land?

"What plans does the prince have? We brothers will fully cooperate!"

"I think this crisis is a good opportunity for the Three Hammers to unite. We can make some arrangements and, with the recommendation of the Kingdom of Stromgarde, let the Thorium Brotherhood represent the new Dark Iron Dwarves to join the Alliance. In exchange, your Brotherhood will need to send out a group of excellent blacksmiths to ensure the equipment supply for the Alliance army!"

"No problem. What the Brotherhood lacks the least is blacksmiths and forges!" Orphis was fascinated by Garin's plan. If he could join the East Continent Alliance, not to mention leveraging the overall strength of the alliance, even if Bronzebeard and Wildhammer were willing to help, he could liberate the Dark Iron Dwarves!

With the death of Emperor Thaurissan, the Thorium Brotherhood will take over Darkforge Keep and there is a real chance for them to reconcile with other dwarf tribes!

Compared to completing the brotherhood's long-cherished wish and paying some money and labor, they got a great deal.

Ding, congratulations on reaching Revered reputation with the Thorium Brotherhood!

Garin seemed to be hallucinating again, but judging from Offist's appearance, he had almost achieved the effect he wanted.

"It is said that your brotherhood has the best blacksmiths. I wonder if you can help Jinli forge two handy weapons?"

"Hahaha, no problem, Gimli. I see you're a dual-wielding warrior, so I can tailor-make a battle axe and a war hammer for you! At the same time, our brotherhood will also take care of your plate armor, and replace all of it with epic weapons and equipment!"

Jialin was waiting for him here. He had shown all his sincerity. As the stronger party, he had shown enough.

And Orphistor was very considerate. A set of epic equipment was not only priceless, but also in short supply. Not only were the materials hard to find, but it also required a skilled blacksmith master. These brotherhoods had no shortage of them, so they agreed immediately.

"Ophistor, Aragorn is in need of an epic two-handed hammer, and Gandalf is in need of a one-handed sword! We can provide the materials ourselves, how about you help us make them?"

"Your Highness!" Aragorn, who was sitting nearby, paused when he heard Galen's words and became interested, but Gandalf was confused and interrupted Galen.

"Your Highness, I told you a year ago that I don't know how to use a sword and can't be a melee mage. You can keep the sword for yourself!"

Seeing that the Archmage was getting angry, Galen stopped teasing him and said, "Then just help Aragorn make a two-handed hammer. Orfist, take a look at their original weapons first. Are there any similar blueprints?"

The highlight is here. Garin wants to see if Orphis can forge the Sulfuron Hammer. This purple-quality two-handed hammer can be recycled into an orange weapon as long as the right materials are available.

Orfist took the weapons from the two men, looked at them, and said, "They are all excellent quality weapons, Your Highness. I just saw the soldiers' equipment was the same. Are they all made in Ironforge?"

"That's not the case. These equipments are all mass-produced by the blacksmith shop under my command!"

The three attack and three defense weapons and equipment in the blacksmith shop are of blue quality, aren't they? However, it is a luxury for a man like Garin to equip his legion with such sophisticated weapons and equipment. Ordinary soldiers are equipped with ordinary white armor and white swords. Only the dwarf army is equipped with amazingly good equipment.

"Your Highness, I will sort out the materials for the Brotherhood, give you the blueprints first, and then modify them according to your usage habits before starting to build them!"

"That would be great."

Offist left Garin's new port, and with him left Gimli, who Garin hoped would subdue the hill lord on Iron Peak.

Gimli is the king of the hill, and he needs an army of dwarves to support him!
