Crossing Azeroth, starting with the Heroes of Might and Magic system

Ironforge, this solid fortress built by dwarves between towering mountains, is now making unprecedented preparations for war after receiving the notice from Varian.

This country, famous for its forging skills, with its indestructible stone walls and blazing lava core, is becoming a natural barrier against foreign enemies.

In the core area of ​​the kingdom, the fire in the blacksmith shop burns day and night, and the sound of hammers hitting anvils rises and falls, inspiring the hearts of every dwarf warrior like a war drum.

With their unparalleled craftsmanship, the dwarves worked overtime to forge weapons and armor. Each piece of equipment shines with the unique cold light of metal. They are not only tools of battle, but also symbols of the dwarves' courage and glory.

On the city walls, dwarven engineers were busy reinforcing the fortifications. Huge catapults and sophisticated crossbows were placed in strategic locations. They would serve as Ironforge's first line of defense to fight any enemy who dared to invade this holy land. At the same time, moats made of hot lava were activated, and the boiling lava was like an angry fire dragon, guarding the entrance to the kingdom.

In the square of the kingdom, dwarven warriors dressed in heavy armor lined up for strict military training. Their steps were in unison, and the clanging of shields and swords showed the unparalleled discipline and strength of the dwarven army.

The commanders stood on the platform, inspiring the soldiers with their deep voices, telling them the glorious history of Ironforge and the indomitable spirit of the dwarves. Every word ignited the fighting spirit in the soldiers' hearts like a raging fire.

In addition, the kingdom's wise men and spies are actively collecting intelligence on the enemy. They travel between dense forests and valleys, using their wisdom and courage to gain valuable strategic information for the kingdom.

The kingdom's logistics department was busy storing food, water and medical supplies to ensure that every soldier would receive adequate supplies and support during the long war.

They also bought a lot of food and equipment from Dagger Ridge Fortress for strategic storage, and they also bought a lot of advanced war machines from Gnomeregan.

The entire Ironforge Kingdom, from the bustling market to the remote mines, is filled with the atmosphere of preparation for war. The dwarves are united, using their wisdom, courage and tenacity to resist the coming storm.

And in the human kingdom, in the vast Arathi Highlands, the Kingdom of Stromgarde, this historic and picturesque human city-state, has also heard of an unprecedented challenge - the invasion of orcs.

In order to defend their homes, the people and leaders of Stromgarde are making intensive preparations for war, and the entire kingdom is immersed in an atmosphere of tension and determination.

In the center of the royal city, a series of sturdy arrow towers rise from the ground, which is the core of Stromgarde's defense.

On the castle walls, soldiers were busy reinforcing the fortifications. They carried heavy stones and reinforced every corner of the walls to ensure that it would become an impregnable fortress in the upcoming battle. At the same time, several arrow towers and observation posts were added to the walls to promptly detect and repel any enemy that tried to approach.

In the square of the royal city, an army of knights and infantrymen were undergoing rigorous training. They were dressed in shining armor, holding sharp weapons, marching in unison, and with great momentum. The commanders shouted slogans and guided the soldiers in tactical drills to ensure that they could respond quickly and effectively to the enemy's attacks in actual combat.

At the same time, the craftsmen of Stromgarde are working day and night, creating a variety of weapons and armor, from sharp swords to sturdy shields, each of which is carefully crafted to enhance the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. In addition, the craftsmen are also responsible for repairing and upgrading the defense facilities in the castle to ensure that they can play the greatest role in battle.

On the other side of the royal city, King Solas, Prince Danas, and other generals gathered together to discuss strategies to deal with the orc invasion. They analyzed the enemy's movements and possible attack routes, and formulated a comprehensive defense plan. At the same time, they also sent envoys to other city-states and races to seek assistance and support to jointly resist the threat of the orcs.

As for the people, the people of Stromgarde were not idle either. They organized themselves to prepare food and medical supplies for the army to ensure that the soldiers could get adequate supplies during the war. In addition, many young people took the initiative to join the militia and receive training, ready to contribute their strength to defend their homeland at a critical moment.

The entire Kingdom of Stromgarde, from the castle in the royal city to the remote villages, is filled with the atmosphere of preparation for war. People are united to face the upcoming challenges together. At this moment full of challenges and opportunities, the Kingdom of Stromgarde is writing its own legendary chapter in its own unique way.

But while the Kingdom of Stromgarde was actively preparing for war, some countries did not quite believe in the strength of the orcs and were extremely passive in their preparations for war.

In the land of the Kingdom of Alterac, a mood of underestimating the enemy is quietly spreading, especially towards the impending threat of orcs. The whole kingdom generally shows an attitude of not believing in their true strength.

The Kingdom of Alterac received intelligence about the orc army from the Kingdom of Stormwind, but it was interpreted selectively.

King Aiden Perenolde, some high-ranking officials and generals tended to ignore reports of the orcs' growing strength, or to dismiss them as exaggerated rumors. They preferred to believe information that fit their existing beliefs, that the orcs were still an easy enemy to defeat. This one-sided interpretation of intelligence led to a serious miscalculation of the kingdom's true strength.

At the same time, the Kingdom of Alterac was not a monolithic entity. The power struggles among the nobles, the autonomy of local lords, and the people's dissatisfaction with centralization all weakened the cohesion of the kingdom to a certain extent. Such internal contradictions made it difficult for the kingdom to form a unified will and action when dealing with external threats. In this context, the contempt for the strength of the orcs became a means of escaping reality and covering up internal problems.

The people and leaders of the Kingdom of Alterac, influenced to some extent by their own glorious history and geographical advantages, have developed a blind self-confidence. They believe that with the long history, rich resources and powerful army of the Kingdom of Alterac, they are able to cope with any challenge, including the threat from the orcs. This self-confidence has evolved into arrogance in some cases, making them ignore the changes and progress that the orcs may have made in the past few decades.

The fact that the Kingdom of Alterac does not trust the orcs' strength is the result of a combination of factors. This mentality of underestimating the enemy may not only cause the kingdom to suffer heavy losses in the upcoming war, but may also exacerbate internal divisions and contradictions, laying the groundwork for future crises.
