If she wasn't Moira Bronzebeard, Muradin's hand would have trembled a long time ago, and the Dark Iron Dwarves would have become history.
This was not an exaggeration.
Duque waved his pen, and a strengthened version of [Fatty] — [Little Fatty] — was sent to the Barren Lands by Muradin.
As a threatening attack, [Little Fatty]'s mushroom cloud and earth-shattering tremors scared the Dark Iron Dwarves half to death.
Of course, it only blew up some wild dogs and vultures in the Barren Lands, but the Dark Iron Dwarves, who hadn't seen the world for hundreds of years and were still stuck in the era of cold weapons and gunpowder, had never seen such a ferocious thing.
They peed their pants on the spot!
Knowing that this was a show of strength from the Alliance, even if Moira was slapped on the left side of her face, she could only offer the right side of her face for the Alliance to slap.
A group of Dark Iron Dwarves were immediately disarmed and treated as prisoners. They were escorted by 30,000 mixed Alliance troops to the snowy Dan Molor. Near the Helm Lake in the east, the Alliance used a series of standard molded houses to build a refugee camp that could accommodate 300,000 Dark Iron Dwarves in less than three days.
Of course, other than the pitch-black cannons and the new spears on the walls of the refugee camp, the Bronzebeard Dwarves were still very warm to the Dark Iron Dwarves.
At least there was no shortage of food, clothing, and medicine.
There were also people stationed 24 hours a day to solve the various problems of the Dark Iron Dwarves, and they swore in the name of the Bronzebeard Dwarves that they would not kill them.
Moira was brought to the Iron Furnace Castle, and under the guidance of a group of Bronzebeard Dwarven elders, she met her father who had become a diamond person.
For a moment, her mind became active.
If her father had suddenly become a diamond person and "died" without any "last words," then she could naturally take over the power of the Bronzebeard Dwarves.
Because Duque had a trick up his sleeve, she would be in trouble.
In this life, there would definitely not be any conflicts where Andoine Wrynn was imprisoned by Moira, and William came to save his son in a rage.
Anyway, the general framework was set in stone by Duque, and Moira could not play any tricks no matter how she jumped around.
Duque even considerately did not appear in the Iron Furnace Castle, as if the Dwarves' affairs were decided by the Dwarves.
As expected, the dwarves still formed the Council of Three Hammers, just like in history.
Unlike the original version, it turned out that Moira had used dishonorable means to steal power. In this life, it was Muradin who fully deserved to become the chairman of the Three Hammer Council.
The strongest Bronzebeard Dwarves had two votes, while the Wildhammer Dwarves and the Dark Iron Dwarves had one vote each. This meant that anything the Bronzebeard Dwarves wanted to do, they could do it. On the other hand, if Ebon and Wildhammer wanted to object, they would only be able to get two votes from each other, who they disliked, to put the motion on hold indefinitely.
What Duque really cared about was Gilness' return.
As one of the seven human kingdoms, Gilnis could be said to be the last piece of the puzzle for the human faction in the alliance.
If history had been as it had been, and Rotterdam, Alterac, and Stormgard had all been destroyed, Duque wouldn't have cared if Gilness had returned or not.
But in this life, not only did Duque protect all the kingdoms, he even restored the once destroyed Stromgard. Gilnis was the only one left outside.
It was like playing mahjong with three players missing, it was as awkward as it could get.
However, as history progressed, everything was solved.
During the second Battle of the Dark Portal, King Zeon Greymane initially rejected Anduin Lothar and King Terenas' request to invite Gilness to join the alliance. But in the end, under the suggestion of Vincent Godfrey, he agreed to join the alliance and sent a small group of soldiers to support the alliance.
When the second war finally ended and the alliance demanded high taxes from Gilness to build the Orc Shelter and Overwatch Fortress, and Gilness couldn't get anything out of Alterac's territory, Zeon Greymane decisively left the alliance.
Not only that, in order to prevent the alliance from interfering, Gilness finally decided to build a high wall to separate himself from the other kingdoms. He even went as far as to cut off the Southern Silverpine Forest that originally belonged to Gilness: the territory of the Kroley Family, Burning Wood Village, and Ambermere.
It was worth mentioning that although Gilness announced that he was cutting off contact with the outside world, King Terenas invited King Zeon Greymane to attend the baptism ceremony of Prince Arthas of Lordaeron at the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind City.
In the 15th year of the Dark Portal, when the third Dark Portal War broke out, following Arthas' fall and betrayal, the Scourge invaded Lordaeron. The latter sent messengers to Gilness for help, but they were rejected by King Zeon Greymane.
However, the Scourge didn't let this isolated country go. One of the armies attacked the Greymane Wall when Arthas led the main force of the Scourge south. In the face of such a huge disparity in military strength, King Zeon was forced to use Archmage Arugal's method to resist the invasion of the Scourge: summoning werewolves.
Although the werewolves of Arugal eventually repelled the invasion of the Scourge Army, it also began to spread among the survivors of Lordaeron and Gilnis in the Silverpine Forest, sowing the seeds of the curse of the Gilnis Werewolves in the future.
When Prince Arthas's army completely destroyed Lordaeron and the Dalajan, Jaina, with the support of Duque, launched the largest westward expedition in human history.
King Zeon was not enthusiastic about this, but another lord who had a good impression of the Alliance and advocated for open borders, Darius Krolay, publicly declared his opposition to the king's policy. He sent his own army under the name of the Gilnis Brigade to join Jaina's fleet in the Alliance's fleet. This was the foreshadowing of the split between them in the future.
In the following years, although the Greymane Wall isolated the threat of the Scourge and werewolves to Gilnis, the Curse of the Werewolves still inevitably began to spread in this isolated land.
In the beginning, the spread of the curse was limited and small. The king and other nobles would bring hunting rifles into the Black Forest on the night of the full moon to secretly hunt the werewolves that occupied the area.
However, this limited containment was forced to stop after an accident: King Zeon Greymane was bitten by a werewolf and contracted the curse.
Fortunately, his royal doctor, Kelenan, managed to temporarily suppress the bestial nature of the curse and the changes in his body. Not only that, but a mysterious Night Elf Priestess appeared in his field of vision. Her name was Belisa.
A werewolf that was later called the "Old Wolf King" by the players, Zeon Greymane, was finally born.
