4. Maritime kingship

The landing of the Blackstone Orcs was in an uproar, and even the farmers of Theramo talked about it, everyone thought that the war was coming, but then they saw that the Orcs sent a team of envoys to meet Princess Kalia, and then they heard that the Orcs had relented and promised not to accept Orc war refugees from the Eastern Continent.

Now everyone's hearts were relieved again, and the harvest time was approaching, and the topic of orcs was gradually losing heat, but soon another important event caused an uproar among the inhabitants of Theramore.

Dai Lin is coming!

The hero of humanity, the ruler of the mysterious island nation of Kurtilas, the king of the seas, will visit Theramore with a mighty fleet!

This is the second real big man to arrive after the establishment of Theramore!

The first is that when the prince of Stormwind City arrived, the whole of Theramore held a grand ceremony to welcome him, this time the ceremony will only be grander, half a month in advance, the guards and officials began to be busy, and the farmers who had completed the grain harvest were even more omen to the city, and began to clean up the city and arrange the grand ceremony.

Daileen Prodmore is one of the kings of the Seven Kingdoms of the Humans, and the eldest princess of Kalia is nominally the successor of the extinct Lordaeron, but in terms of seniority, she is only the younger generation of Daileen, and Theramore, as the seat of Lordaeron's government-in-exile, is far behind Kurtilas in terms of strength and others, so this visit is actually of great significance.

This means that after Stormwind, the second human power will recognize Theramore's significance to Lordaeron.

It's a time of joy in the whole city, but there are two people who can't sleep all night after a tense night.

Gianna was nervous because she was worried about her father's temper and the responsibilities she had been deliberately ignoring: after both of her brothers had been killed in battle, she became the royal daughter of Kurtilas, and although she was only an ignorant little girl at the time, it was her natural mission to inherit Kurtilas.

She was reluctant to do that, in addition to not being able to let go of her love for magic, there was another reason, if she really went back to Kul Tiras, she would have to face a very real problem, the nobility in Kul Tiras was also very strong, and in order to serve the public, she had to choose one of them to marry.

This is a fate that even the eldest princess of Kaliya can't dodge, if it weren't for the birth of the Black Dragon King and the sudden destruction of Lordaeron, I'm afraid that Kaliya would have been a duchess by now.

Dick was nervous because he vaguely felt that in addition to the visit, another reason for Dai Lin's visit to Theramore this time was probably Gianna, and the last time he met this serious, unusually powerful ruler, the process was definitely not friendly, and now he and Gianna were also at an age to talk about marriage.

This is a very real question before him: on what basis should he convince Dai Lin to agree to his marriage to Gianna?

The Earl of the North, it seems that he is still a little short of the position of the princess.

Paladin Leader?, the title means nothing in politics.

Don't be funny, what does the respect of the elves have to do with Dai Lin? Who doesn't know that the king of the sea is a notoriously "big human" racist.

Princess Kalia's support? This seems to be a bit useful, but the problem is that Kalia, as a junior, doesn't have much say in front of Dai Lin.

Thinking about it, these chaotic thoughts did little except make Dick more nervous, and he felt like he was back in the old days, when he was worried about his marriage because of his house, his car, and his money.

Wait, speaking of which, Gianna's identity is placed in that world, and it is also a proper Bai Fumei.

"Otherwise, let's escape!"

One night, Gianna suddenly ran to Dick's room, pulled the paladin and said this sentence that made the paladin cry and laugh, looking at the eldest lady who already had dark circles under her eyes, Dick held her in his arms in distress,

"Don't worry, leave everything to me, there will be a way. ”

"Hmm..."

So in the continuous anxiety of Dick and Gianna, Dai Lin still went to Theramore, in the history of the game, Dai Lin Prodmore's flagship, known as the invincible warship of the human world, the "King of the Sea" is very famous, but when Dick really stood in the port of Theramore, looking at the super battleship floating on the sea like a hill, he was still ashamed of his poor imagination.

This ship also subverted Dick's preconceived notion that a wooden ship really wasn't necessarily much weaker than a steel ship.

Especially in the wizarding world, when a warship made of top-quality wood, which was completely magically treated and harder than steel, appeared, the dense magic patterns on the side of the ship almost dazzled Dick's eyes.

This ship is connected to the impact angle under the water body, the height is at least about 25 meters, the total length is nearly 150 meters, it is not an exaggeration to naval battle platform, the hull is divided into five layers, each layer is covered with dense cannon doors, according to Gianna, this battleship has a total of 370 left and right string guns, all of which are handmade by dwarven masters.

Directly in front of the hull and directly behind the hull, there were also towering 30 large-caliber naval guns, which really raised the firepower advantage to the limit. At the beginning, it was the fleet of the Human Alliance led by this ship that destroyed all the ships of the orcs in the sea outside the port of Minahir, thus laying the foundation for the later great counterattack of the Burning Legion.

And the bridge of this ship is very interesting, it is not made into the kind of house-like structure of ordinary ships, but made into the shape of a throne and a trident, which is also the origin of the super battleship after it was launched, Dai Lin personally named it "King Power of the Sea".

This ship emptied almost all of Kurtilas's family resources, but after the end of the war, relying on the deterrence of the "sea kingship", the sea merchants of Kurtilas quickly monopolized most of the transportation industry in the endless sea, and even the goblins who did not want to die for money had to swallow their anger, watching the merchants of Kul Tiras make a mouthful of oil, but they did not dare to make a dissatisfied voice.

No way, "the whole ocean is the territory of Proudmoore", this sentence is definitely not an exaggeration.

Dick secretly slandered this old man for being a cannon giant, more is good, big is beautiful, billions of forts, hundreds of millions of glorious kinds.

When the Sea Throne dropped anchor in front of everyone, there was silence on the entire dock, and everyone seemed to be shrouded in the shadow of the ship, and if it opened fire at this time, it would not be a problem to even destroy Theramore.

Dressed in military uniform, Dai Lin, escorted by a sailor in white armor, a white battle robe, and a sailor carrying a sailor's sword, stepped on the red carpet and walked up to the dock, Dick still had to follow Princess Cariya with a smile on his face.

"Welcome to Theramore, Uncle Dareen, and it's great to see that you're as healthy as ever!"

Kalia, who was wearing the crown, bowed her head slightly to Dai Lin, and the "Admiral" on the opposite side, whose hair was already gray, but her body was still straight, also showed a hearty smile and gently supported her.

"The tragedy of Lordaeron has left everyone sad, but I see that you have inherited the legacy of Terenus and passed on Lordaeron in the midst of difficult times, you are very good, Kaliya, who would have thought that you would do so well, you are already a very mature ruler, Kalia!"

Dai Lin's eyes were as blue as the sea like Gianna's, but the coldness revealed in them still made people feel a little numb, and he kindly said to Kalia who had tears in her eyes,

"Don't cry, kid! Terenus will be proud of you, come, stand by me! ”

The eldest princess of Kalia stood obediently beside Dai Lin, and then came up with Anduin, who was also wearing a crown, a blue dress, and a delicate ribbon and a lion badge on his chest, the little prince was obviously a little nervous, and it was no wonder that even his father, in front of Dai Lin, had to bow his head willingly.

"Hail to you!

Anduin said loudly, his cheeks were slightly red, but the etiquette taught by Cariya herself was very well done, which made Dai Lin's eyes shine, he reached out and touched Anduin's head, and said with emotion,

"Ah, little Anduin, when I met your father, he was not much older than you, but he was not as strong as yours, very good, I saw that the lion of Stormwind City has grown up!

After saying that, Dai Lin reached out and untied the matching gun on his waist, it was a real work of art, one of the two matching guns that King Magni made for Dai Lin with his own hands when the war was won, the style of a dwarven short spear, but whether it was the red wooden tray with the handle, or the barrel made of the best metal, and the gilt lettering.

"Lord of the sea. ”

Dai Lin said with emotion, "This gun is called "fate", I have killed countless enemies with it, this gun has witnessed my courage and my battle, hold it, little Anduin, may my courage be with you!"

Anduin was a little restrained, as a prince, the orc war was the history he studied, he knew the origin of this gun, he hurriedly shook his head,

"No, it's too precious, Your Majesty Dai Lin. ”

Dai Lin stuffed fate into the little prince's hand and patted him on the head, "Call me Uncle Dai Lin." ”

After speaking, the admiral's gaze turned to another person, that is, Gianna who had changed into a mage robe and put on a blue aristocratic dress, on the top of her head, she also carried a small crown symbolizing the identity of the princess, and held a scepter inlaid with azure gems in her hand, she looked at her father, and suddenly the tension in her heart disappeared, especially when she saw the white hair on the top of her father's head, Gianna had a sad feeling.

"Father..."

"My daughter... You and your mother are exactly the same. ”

Dai Lin's voice also became low and soft, "And your brother... I have heard about your deeds in Mount Hyjal and Mount Blackstone, and you have done a good job, Anna, and you have not disgraced your surname! I am sure that you will also be a good ruler, by the way, this time I have brought your sister, go and meet her. ”

Gianna wanted to say something, but the next moment, Dai Lin's figure walked in front of her, and then stopped in front of another person,

"You... It's you again... Good luck guy, I don't like you! You know what?"

Dick breathed a sigh of relief, all plans were shattered by this sentence, his eyes changed from apprehension to peace, Dai Lin's momentum was very strong, but Dick was no longer the sheriff of Daronshire at the beginning, after fighting life and death with Akmund, fighting wits and courage with Nefarian, and standing on the same stage with the Dragon King, even Dai Lin had nothing.

"I never asked you to like me, Your Majesty Dareen. ”

Dick's fingers moved, "I like your daughter, I want to marry her, no matter what stands in front of me, I will marry her, nothing can change my mind, so I hope we can get your blessing." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Dai Lin's eyes changed, but even the people around him couldn't help but change their faces, Kaliya was full of worry, and little Anduin clenched his fists, worthy of being a mentor, is this what he often says, the romance of men?

"Why?"

Dai Lin questioned viciously.

Dick pointed to his heart, "Actually, I'm not asking for your consent, whether you want to or not, I'll marry her." ”

"Good!"

The admiral, like an angry lion, stretched out his hand and pointed at Dick's chest, "The conversation between the veterans should be explicit! I won't agree, young man! I want to see how you can snatch my daughter from me!"

"You'll see!"

Dick lowered his head, and at this moment, Gianna walked out from behind Dai Lin, standing firmly behind the paladin, two hands, ten fingers, tightly intertwined.
