20. The Battle of Ironforge. The Mountain of Sorrows (Part 2)(2/2)
———————————
The back mountain of Ironforge is the deepest part of the Coldridge Mountains and the most inaccessible place in Khaz Modan. The altitude here is extremely high and few creatures can survive at this altitude. But now, a large group of dwarves
, stumbling forward in the heavy snow.
This is the group of people who escaped from Ironforge, led by Princess Moira Bronzebeard, the elite force of the entire city.
Led by the master miner of the Deep Mountain Excavating Company who knew the location well, the group was heading towards Anvilmar Fortress in the Coldridge Valley. Just as Magni had warned, Moira also knew very well that once Ironforge fell,
, the only safe place in the entire Khaz Modan is right there.
And just as everyone was advancing, the face of the princess who was being supported suddenly turned pale, and a pain in her blood caused her to cover her heart tightly. Next to her, Brian Copper looked ugly.
Suya covered the same position, and without any warning, he turned over in pain and fell to the ground.
This immediately caused the crowd to scream, and soon Brian was helped up by the best priest in Ironforge. The old dwarf's eyes were filled with tears, but it was not because of pain, but...sadness.
"Moira, my niece..."
Brian sobbed and held his niece's hand tightly. He looked at Moira's equally moist eyes and said with difficulty:
"Do you feel it? My brother, your father...he, he left us..."
"I feel it."
Moira held her uncle's hand tightly. She looked at Brian's desperate eyes. She gritted her teeth and said in a voice of unforgettable hatred:
"My husband, my father, both died in the hands of the undead. I swear, in the name of Bronzebeard and Thaurissan, I will destroy them, I will bury them, I swear!"
"Now! Keep moving forward, you can't stop! Go! Get out of here! Before the undead catch up!"
Tonight, the mountains of Khaz Modan are...crying.
