Chapter 55: Extremely mysterious reinforcements
Small question mark.
Do you have a lot of pot friends?
Until Bovar mounted his griffon and began his high-speed journey back to Stormwind, he was still confused.
Lordaeron can't squeeze any oil and water (soldiers) out.
Publicly, Terenus and hundreds of nobles donated 1,000 gold coins to the Stormwind Kingdom. It seems like a lot, but the god is sent to call Hanako.
These Chamberwal left his deputies and ambassadors to recruit troops in Lordaeron, and it was no problem to recruit a force of five thousand men without quality. As for the equipment, don't ask for it, anyway, if you go to Stormwind City, you can use it at most to guard the outer city walls, which is better than the people.
Griffons are fast, flying at a constant speed of up to 60 kilometers per hour.
You must know that the average horse has a constant speed of 20 kilometers per hour, and the limit speed is about 60 kilometers per hour.
Griffins can also ignore terrain and fly in straight lines.
Of course, riding a griffin is not a pleasant experience. As a large bird of prey, the griffon has too wide a back, and its legs are almost split when it sits up, and it is also bumpy.
The only two benefits are speed and security.
No bird of prey dares to provoke griffins, and Lordaeron City is more than a thousand kilometers away from Stormwind, and if you change griffons on the road, you can get there in a day.
Boval enjoyed the treatment, and he was so distracted when he heard that the griffons were used by a certain duke to transport delicacies.
Spending so much money just to eat, can you believe it?
After arriving at Stormwind, he met his lord, King Lane.
"Bolvar, how did you get back on a griffin? His Majesty's Minahir? "Ryan is a handsome man, and despite being middle-aged, that extremely attractive masculinity still overflows.
With curly black hair, just the right beard and angular facial lines, you can complete the little fresh meat of the Celestial Empire as soon as you appear.
He first hugged Bolval warmly, and then looked at him impatiently, as if he wanted to dig out 100,000 reinforcements in Bolval's heart.
Bolval was embarrassed for a moment, Ryan misunderstood on the spot, and comforted Bolval in reverse: "Bolval, don't be pressured, I didn't expect them to act immediately, the enemies here are too magical." ”
"No, Your Majesty, don't get me wrong. Because the orc slaves we sent accidentally ran away in the city of Lordaeron, and the 30 orcs also attacked the royal palace, although they did not cause serious damage, but realizing the wrath of the terrible Orc King Minethil, now Lordaeron has begun a national mobilization. ”
Ryan is an upright king, and Bolvar and MI7 did it without Lane's knowledge of that little thing.
Ryan was stunned for a moment, he didn't think about it so much, and a happy expression suddenly appeared on his face: "Ah! This is the only good news I've heard in the last three months. Bolval, you've worked hard. ”
King Ryan said nothing about reinforcements.
In his opinion, Berval's ability to get Lordaeron to act in advance was already the greatest success. As for reinforcements, forget it. No one knows better what kind of virtue his vassals are than a feudal king.
The dukes of the Stormwind Kingdom have already calculated, after all, the country has been developing for so many years, constantly opening up new territories. The countries on the other side of the northern continent, because they have lost the possibility of expanding their territory, have long been solidified in their thinking and are content with the status quo.
Even so, the major lords of the Storm Kingdom were still caught off guard. In several large territories in the east, basically just after the soldiers were barely assembled here, the orcs were killed, and when one charged, the troops collapsed and fell into a state of flight.
If it weren't for the fact that the wind in the Elwin Forest is mostly from west to east, and it burns to the orcs as soon as it is set on fire, maybe it would have been killed by the orcs outside Stormwind City by now.
"Your Majesty, I actually said that I moved the Duke of Stratholm in Lordaeron. No, to be precise, it was His Excellency the Duke, who knew about the state of the Stormwind Kingdom early on, and offered us help. Bolval quickly and briefly recounted himself and McDonalken.
"What do you mean? That Duke of Stratholme not only single-handedly contributed to Lordaeron's war readiness, but also intended to provide us with a main army of 3,000 men. ”
"That's right! In a stealthy way. Bowall's voice was lowered and he emphasized.
Ryan suddenly wanted to laugh, there was no secret way. That's an army of 3,000 men, and a standing army of a dukedom is no more. Where can you get it out casually.
Regardless of what McDonald wants to do with such a force.
The equipment alone can't be hidden.
Naked soldiers are cannon fodder when they go to war. Lordaeron's standard armor is instantly recognizable.
At this time, the alarm bell of "Dang Dang Dang" suddenly sounded from the west of Stormwind City.
Stormwind is located in the middle of the Southern Continent, facing the sea to the west, surrounded by mountains to the north and east, and controlling the entire Elwyn Forest to the south. Of course, at this point in time, Stormhaven is still very small, and in the past it was responsible for daily business voyages and fishing for small fishing boats.
"What's going on?"
After a while, the herald came to report: "Report to Your Majesty, a large fleet. ”
"Who's? Orcs? ”
"Nope! It's definitely our human ship, but ...... The other party was under our banner and hung a family crest that we had never seen before. "The herald has a strange look.
Sailing on the high seas, under the national flag, there is also a emblem, which indicates which power belongs to a private merchant ship or a nobleman.
A fabricated aristocratic family crest sounds like an insult to the intelligence of the storm.
But Bolval slammed into a spirit: "Wait! Your Majesty! That's our reinforcements! ”
He quickly bit his ear and told the contents of his PY deal with McDonald.
"A duke's position in exchange for 10,000 elite soldiers?" Ryan had given Bolval the authority to talk, and it was the first time he had known that it had been negotiated.
Ryan's eyes widened, full of incredulity.
When this kind of country is exhausted, how can it be qualified to pick and choose.
Ryan waved his hand: "Let them dock, this is the return of our Stormwind Kingdom's New World Pioneer Force." However, the west gate was closed first. ”
Ryan is very safe in his work.
After 30 minutes, the flotilla slowly approached Stormhaven.
Ryan stood at the head of the city, looking slightly nervously at the harbor, where Bervar was waiting with a group of soldiers.
The first ship to dock was too large, a typical Kurtilas cargo ship.
It is 80 meters long and has a wide hull that allows it to carry more cargo.
It was so brand new that you could smell the freshly painted paint wafting from the bow of the ship before it even docked.
For a second, Bolval wondered if there would be a large group of orcs popping out of it, shouting "Waaaaaagh" or "lok".
The ship was busy with the typical Kurtilas sailors.
When the deck was lowered, the soldiers who were stepping down from the ship left Berval dumbfounded.
What kind of mercenary group is this, all of them are 'their own people'!
At first glance, it looks exactly like the guards standing at the door of Stormwind Fortress.
No! And even on top of that.
The Praetorian Guards wore iron armor at best.
But what these guys are wearing, it's a high-end armor [King Suit] of [excellent] quality!
In general, it is not that knights are not qualified to wear armor of this quality.
Looking at Bolval, who was messy in the sea breeze and even had his hair blown into the shape of a makeshift killer, this group of mysterious outsiders was very proud.
"Stormwind Guards are a big success!"
“yeah!”
