Menethil's Power

Chapter 13 The Hinterlands, The Eagle's Nest

"Lord Kurdran, those green-skinned orcs are really here!"

"Shut up, idiot!" Kurdran felt his brain hurt, "I can see it myself!" After scolding that ignorant kid, Kurdran Wildhammer focused on the battlefield below.The news brought by the human mage was correct, these green-skinned monsters were indeed plotting against the Hinterlands.

Kurdran patted Tianyi's neck under his crotch, and the huge griffin turned around immediately.Lord Wildhammer looked proudly at the more than 600 Griffin Knights in front of him. These great boys are currently the most powerful air force in the Eastern Kingdom.He raised the hammer in his hand, and the power of lightning thundered on the hammer.

"Warriors of the Wildhammer," Kurdran's voice was so loud that not even the wind howling high in the sky could dispel his voice. "The princes of Lordaeron did not lie to us. These monsters have indeed hit the door of the Wildhammer dwarves. They obviously don't know what kind of existence they have provoked." The dwarves shouted in agreement, and their mounts followed suit. Make a high-pitched chirping sound.

"There's no time for nonsense, the humans are about to run out of steam, Wildhammer's great boys, attack!" Kurdran took the lead, Tianyi swooped down happily, followed by the Gryphon Riders. "Throw your hammers in the faces of those green-skinned orcs!"

The Griffin Knights began to throw the storm hammers in their hands in batches. These huge weapons smashed into the crowd of beasts, bursting out with amazing power, and lightning spewed out of them, burning the bodies of the nearby beastmen, and were directly hit The unlucky one turned into a scorched black wreck.

The orcs' offensive was disrupted in an instant, but that was all the effect of the first wave of the Wildhammer dwarves' surprise attack.These war machine-like green-skinned monsters didn't seem to know what fear was, and immediately began to fight back with the long-range weapons in their hands. "All pull up, disperse and fight freely!" Kurdran manipulated Tianyi to deftly dodge an oncoming throwing net, and gave an order loudly.

The neat flight formation immediately disappeared without a trace.The Wildhammer dwarves seem to have liberated their nature. They retracted their weapons and began to perform acrobatics gliding, rolling, and hovering, avoiding damage while throwing the storm hammer again.These warhammers have been enchanted by the Wildhammer Shaman. When they hit the enemy, they can explode with lightning power and cause serious damage. What an amazing existence.

Anduin Lothar, who hastily led the cavalry to support the left flank, was very surprised by these unexpected reinforcements.It took much longer than expected to eliminate the wolf cavalry, and at least [-] wolf cavalry broke through, so he was mentally prepared for the complete defeat of the left wing.Now that the left wing of Gilneas could still support, Lothar immediately changed his strategy, leading the cavalry from Lordaeron and Alterac to change directions, and began to outflank the back of the Horde army.

At this time, the situation of the tribal army was very bad. More than 4 orcs were blocked in a small area. There were mountains and rocks that could not be climbed in the east. But the Wildhammer dwarf who threw the hammer vigorously has no way to escape like a turtle in a urn.If there is no unexpected situation, then it is entirely possible for the alliance to complete its work in one battle.

It's a pity that history has never had an if.

A new greenskin army suddenly rushed out from the Hinterlands behind the Gilneas army. There were nearly [-] people. They had taller bodies and thicker fangs.The already precarious defense line of the Gilneas Department collapsed in an instant, and the orcs' offensive, like the tide breaking the embankment, instantly submerged their last resistance.After the two green-skinned armies converged, Lothar saw clearly the identity of these heavenly soldiers—trolls.

The tribes at the same place did not turn around and continue to fight the alliance, but entered the Hinterlands in an orderly manner.A few reckless Wildhammer boys drove their mounts to continue to harass them, but they were shot into hedgehogs by arrows and throwing axes all over the sky.

Lothar didn't ask the soldiers to continue to attack. He knew that the boys under him had almost reached their limit, and the death knights of the tribe had never made a move. Forced pursuit would only increase casualties. "Let's set up camp on the spot and gather the remnants." He said to Turalyon beside him.

The young paladin immediately passed on the order.And Isaacs, who has been serving as a halo generator with the army, has begun to consciously save people. He has assumed responsibilities far beyond the prince, but he is not arrogant because of his status as a prince. This is what Lothar admires most about him.

Almost all the soldiers were wounded. Isaacs didn't care about the slightly wounded people who could recover the next day under the effect of the halo. He tried to gather the moderately and seriously wounded soldiers nearby, and first healed the dying ones. Send a quick heal to renew life, and then cast Power Word Glory, which is the most cost-effective group healing spell.The commander in chief of the alliance did not allow him to wander around for a long time, so after the military chaplain arrived, he handed over the treatment work and returned to Lothar.

Lothar is meeting with guests at this time.Three stocky dwarves were having a drink with the commander-in-chief of the alliance. The leader of the dwarves was wearing a helmet decorated with white feathers. When he saw Isaacs, he shouted loudly, "This must be His Royal Highness Prince Isaacs of Lordaeron. Come on, he's just a little kid."

Isaacs kept smiling politely, "Nice to meet you, Lord Wildhammer." But he couldn't help but slander in his heart: the little boy you mentioned is as tall as you.

"Your warning saved the Wildhammer from great losses." Kurdran patted Isaacs on the shoulder affectionately. This kind of opportunity is very rare for a dwarf. "You have shown the friendship of the Wildhammer dwarves."

"I'm honored." Isaacs continued to maintain decent etiquette, he was not used to the dwarf's familiar character.Kurdran turned to Lothar and said, "Your Excellency Commander, I fully agree with your proposal just now. There are too many green skins. The Wildhammer must unite with humans to fight against them."

He picked up the wine glass that was set aside and took a big swig, "But it's a time of war, and the adults are busy beating the orcs, so we might as well leave the signing of the treaty to the young people." His version of the young dwarf, "This is my son Falstad, who can represent me in full. It's just a formality after all, isn't it?"

Lothar's eyes sharpened, but he didn't see anything from the dwarf's knife-like facial features. "Indeed, signing a treaty is only a necessary form, and Isaacs can also represent the alliance with full authority." He said slowly.
.
Two days later, the Hinterlands.

A huge griffin flew over the jungle, and Falstad's rough voice carried a hint of a smile, "Your Highness Isaacs, have you felt the breeze of freedom?"

Isaacs, who sat behind him, didn't respond, his mouth tightly shut to keep the cold wind from blowing in.This was his first flight since he came to Azeroth, and in this situation with almost no protective equipment, the experience was not very good to be honest.

Anduin Lothar left [-] troops stationed in Hillsbrad Hills. The commanders of the [-] troops are Saidan Dathrohan and Osmar Garithers. The former is the five paladins. One of the first-generation aircraft, the latter is a young officer who is just budding.After Lothar ordered them to return to Nanhai Town, he personally led the main force of the Alliance into the Hinterlands to continue fighting the Horde.Isaacs went to Eagle's Nest Hill with Falstad to sign the covenant according to the established plan.

The young man Kurdran said, Falstad, was about twenty times the age of Isaacs, and judging by the lifespan of a dwarf, he was indeed a young boy who had just grown up.Someone struck up an initial friendship with ease, and it only took half an hour to turn the straight-up kid into an avid Hearthstone fan.

Isaacs feels that elves and dwarves are simple-minded, so he is full of doubts about the signing of this covenant. Lothar can trust him. Isn't Kurdran worried that his stupid son will sell the entire Wildhammer? ?

"Welcome to the Eagle's Nest!" Falstad's voice interrupted Isaacs' contemplation.The Eagle's Nest itself was shaped like the head of a griffin, and each generation of Wildhammer dwarves took carving the Eagle's Nest as an urgent task. Over the centuries, the scene before Isaacs' eyes was formed: a huge lifelike griffin The head stood upright among the mountains, and even the feathers were completely exposed, as if it was about to raise its head and neigh in the next moment.Isaacs couldn't help letting out a suppressed admiration, and Falstad was very satisfied with his reaction, and manipulated Swift Wing to fly from the eyes of the griffin sculpture into this great city.

Although the Wildhammers vehemently deny it, in terms of living habits, they still have many similarities with their cousins, the Bronzebeard Dwarves. Both dwarves like to live in hollowed out mountains.The structure of Eagle's Nest Mountain is very similar to Ironforge. The whole city is divided into three floors, inhabited by more than [-] Wildhammer dwarves and thousands of griffins.

Swift Wing circled obediently and landed on the highest platform. Isaacs jumped off the Griffin, feeling down-to-earth for the first time.Two dwarves who looked like guards quickly came to take over Swiftwing from Falstad, and Isaacs couldn't help but sigh that the estates were everywhere.

"Welcome to Eagle's Nest Mountain, distinguished guest." Falstad said happily, "We have business to discuss, but this does not prevent us from having a sumptuous meal before that." Isaacs readily agreed.The food of the Wildhammer dwarves has local characteristics. Isaacs, who is full of experimentation spirit, thinks the taste is not bad. He is particularly impressed by one of the "charcoal-grilled owl meat". flavor.

"Falstad," Isaacs said to the dwarf after drinking and eating, "I am here as an official visitor, and I will give you a gift according to human etiquette."
