Chapter 131: Elites of Hearthglen

  Chapter 131 Elites in Hearthglen

   "Gianna? What is she doing here?"

   It's not just David who is puzzled, even Fording doesn't understand why this Dalaran mage from Kul Tiras came to Hearthglen.

Tai Lan didn't know that his father was thinking about what impact this change would have on his side. He thought that Tirion Fordring's words were asking himself, so he answered honestly: "Jianna Proud Mage Demore heard that we were fighting the Scourge in Hearthglen, so he came to check on the situation on behalf of Dalaran."

"That's right!" Tirion Fordring turned his head and glanced at David, both of them felt that the matter might not be that simple: "Just in time, I'm going to invite everyone to discuss some things, so I invite Master Proudmoore to join us Bar!"

"Okay, father!" Tai Lan didn't need to ask who should be invited to the meeting. He was very clear about the current situation in Hearth Valley. If his father wanted to carry out any military deployment or action, those people could not be avoided anyway. , that must be notified.

   In addition, Jaina Proudmoore, who just came to Hearthglen, is the representative of Dalaran.

   Waiting until Tailan left, Fording looked at David: "There are changes."

   "Sooner or later, this kind of thing will happen."

  According to the original plot, Jaina and Alsace initially investigated the plague incident in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and the first city they went to during their investigation was actually Hearthglen.

In other words, in the original plot, Hearthglen was a city that fell under natural disasters earlier than Stratholme. Later, Tylan Fording gathered the remaining Knights of the Silver Hand and took back the fireplace from the hands of the undead. Valley, and serve as the base of the Scarlet Crusade.

  Now, with Fording's various operations, Hearth Valley escaped unharmed. Jaina and Alsace just passed by Hearth Valley when they investigated, and found that there was no plague outbreak here before going to other places.

  The follow-up development is no different from the "original history". The Stratholme plague broke out, Arthas ordered the massacre of the city, Uther was dismissed from his post, Jaina left in disappointment, etc.

According to the original history, Jaina will return to the mage city of Dalaran, and will be prompted by the "prophet". She will lead some survivors of Lordaeron to Kalimdor on the warship of Kul Tiras, and welcome A key battle for myself as a hero: the Battle of Mount Hyjal.

   That is to say, according to the original development, Jaina will not come to Hearthglen after she returns to Dara.

  Besides that, what Fording and David valued the most was the 'prophet'.

  Others don't know, but these two know that this so-called prophet is actually the last guardian of Azeroth, Medivh.

   Jaina suddenly came to Hearthglen, is there any guidance from this prophet? Does the prophet have any thoughts on Fording's actions?

"I can't think of an answer here, so go and meet that Miss Proudmoore!" Fording waved his hands, motioning for David and others to come with him: "By the way, I'll also introduce you to my colleagues in Hearthglen .”

  Following Fording to leave the office, they quickly walked to a huge conference room.

  While walking through the corridor, several people saw the inside of the fortress of Lower Azeroth.

  David saw this dark environment with no light, and suddenly felt that it was a very correct choice for him not to choose the castle as his residence.

   "In terms of comfort, 'modern architecture' is definitely better." This is why Laura agrees with that design plan, and she doesn't want to live in a huge, dark castle.

   When I came to the meeting room, several knights in armor were already waiting here, and Fording immediately introduced them.

   "This is Alexandros Mograine, and this is Alfred Abidis."

   The first to introduce to David were two tall knights in heavy armor. When he heard the names of these two, David understood why he introduced them first.

The current composition of the Knights of the Silver Hand in Hearthglen is quite complicated: there is a part that was originally stationed in Hearthglen and took orders from Tyran Fordring. This part is also Fording's old subordinate, and it is the easiest for Tirion Fordring to transfer command of.

Some of them came from the routs of East Weald, most of which were led by Uther. They lost their commanders, and they were willing to take orders from Old Fording after defecting to Hearthglen. It was nothing to mobilize Trouble.

There are also some who came to Hearth Valley led by other commanders of the Knights of the Silver Hand, including the knights led by Alexandros Mograine and Alfred Abedis .

   "This is the commander from Ironforge, Burim-Golden Hammer."

   To say that Fording can hold Hearthglen, the biggest help is not Alfred Abidis and Alexandros Mograine, but the help from the dwarves of Ironforge.

   Not only provided a large number of artillery, the dwarves also sent elite gunners and musketeers to directly participate in the defense of Hearthglen. The commander of these dwarf troops is the dwarf commander in front of him.

   During the introduction, people came to the meeting room one after another, and Fording introduced everyone to David step by step.

  Including Cleric Isenlien, who was responsible for teaching the way of the Holy Light to Tyran when Tirion Fordring was not in Hearthglen; Mograine's chief advisor, Fairbanks;

   Alexandros - Mograine's son Renault - Mograine and Darian - Mograine, Alfred - Abedis's daughter Bridgette - Abedis and so on.

   And Jaina Proudmoore who suddenly came to Hearthglen, leader of Kul Tiras, daughter of Alliance Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, Kirin Tor mage from Dalaran.

   Just at this time, Calia Menethil, the only surviving member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, also arrived.

"This is Baron David Glamorgan. After learning about the situation here, he came here to help." When introducing David to everyone, Fording did not explain his origin, but emphasized that David was because of being with himself. My personal friendship is here to help.

  Although he didn't know where David was from the baron, he was willing to help in this situation, and everyone present welcomed David.

   Calia Menethil even expressed her gratitude to David in the name of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

   "Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite. The Scourge is the mortal enemy of all living people. I just did what a living person should do."

  David's response made everyone present feel good. They felt that although the Baron of Glamorgan was not a member of the Knights of the Silver Hand, judging from his performance, he was definitely an excellent follower of the Holy Light...

   After the gossip, Fording began to discuss the business with everyone, that is, the plan to kill the Hearth Valley and launch a counterattack against the Scourge.

  To David's surprise, all the commanders present agreed.

  In the eyes of these paladins, after securing the Hearthglen defense line and resisting the impact of the Scourge, launching a counterattack is a matter of course.

  These knights have no idea of ​​sticking to Hearthglen and waiting for an opportune time to fight back.

Alfred Abidis and Alexandros Mograine even stated that they wanted to go to Alsace and kill the King Slayer who had betrayed the kingdom and people of Lordaeron. Pay for everything you do.

  David was stunned as he watched from the side, deeply feeling how out of place he was with this group of paladins. It seemed that the reason why he couldn't be a paladin was not only because of his lack of physical strength.

When Fording was discussing the battle plan with several commanders, David didn't intervene, but just listened quietly. Even if someone asked him for his opinion, he would only humbly express that he was not very proficient in combat. Listen to everyone can be arranged.

When the commanders of Fording, Mograine, Abedis, and Burim-Golden Hammer began to discuss the specific details, David even retreated directly, and then he felt a light kick from someone beside him. Get off your heels.

   Looking back, I found that it was Laura, but Laura winked at herself, making him pay attention to Jaina who was not far away: "That daughter of the sea has been looking at you since just now."

   "Perhaps doubting my origin?"

  David glanced at Jaina, and happened to collide with her gaze.

   Seeing this, Jaina no longer hid aside and observed secretly, but walked over generously.

  At this time, the four commanders are still discussing the details, especially which route should they take when fighting back from Hearthglen and clearing the Scourge? How to judge the current position of Alsace? Is it to clear the surrounding undead from natural disasters first, and then encircle and suppress Alsace? Or should he kill Alsace in one go and kill the culprit first? Then turn around and clean up the undead in the kingdom?

Several people need to discuss for a while before reaching a consensus. At this time, Bridget Abedis is also discussing similar issues with Tylan Fording and Mograine's two sons, and published in the small circle own opinion.

  David and the others gathered to form another small circle, and Jaina stood alone, walking towards David and the others.

   "Hello, I'm Jaina Proudmoore, a mage."

   "Nice to meet you, Mage Proudmoore." The other party did not mention the daughter of the leader of Kul Tiras, but only mentioned his status as a mage, and David called her a mage.

   "Just call me Jaina." Jaina looked at David curiously: "Where is Baron Glamorgan from?"

"I'm from Cold Winter Town." Seeing Jaina frowning, David seemed to be thinking about where Cold Winter Town is, so he added: "It's a very remote town, and it's normal that I haven't heard of it. "

   Jaina nodded, and then chatted with David without saying a word.

   And at this moment, where no one could see, a blond dwarf was frantically beating an invisible wall, shouting loudly: "Let me in!!"
