Furstad, the lord of the Eagle's Nest and the leader of the Hammer Dwarves, was stronger than the others, riding on a griffin, holding a storm hammer in one hand and a wooden shield in the other, and a body of steel plate armor, rough and heavy, very dwarven style.

Unlike King Magni of Ironforge, Jiang Zai sensed a very powerful elemental energy in his body.

After the Hammer Dwarves moved to the Eagle's Nest Mountain, they came into contact with the air element, so they began to believe in the shamanic teachings, and every Hammer Griffin Knight is the best of the dwarven shamans, and can manipulate the power of wind and thunder and lightning.

World War II-era Kudran Brutehammer, one of the Five Heroes of the Dark Gate, once killed nine red dragons in a battle when orcs enslaved them with demonic souls!

What is the concept?

That's a red dragon, not a bone dragon or a frost dragon, but a red dragon with flesh and blood, very strong in hand-to-hand combat and spellcasting!

Even if those red dragons were just ordinary red dragons, not ancient red dragons, and most of them were not even adult dragons, Kudran's strength was still unmistakable, and he deserved the name of "legend".

If the dragon wants to become the overlord of the sky, he has to ask the Hammerhammer Griffin Knight if he agrees!

Furstad is also a remarkable figure, if not as good as Kudran and Magni, but probably a hero of the level of Muradin. Coupled with the three hundred Brute Hammer Griffin Knights he brought, this is definitely an extremely powerful living force, a powerful reinforcement.

This reinforcement force is almost equal to the entire existing defense force of Fort Riptide.

The Brute Hammer Dwarves' mobility, long-range attack ability, ability to manipulate wind and thunder, coupled with their already not weak melee ability, and the Griffon's ability to fight in the air and on the ground is stronger than that of the giant eagle and the lion, the comprehensive strength of each Brute Hammer Griffin Knight is not weaker than that of the members of the Fenris People's Army, and it can completely suppress the Earth Spirit!

The entire Hinterland Brute Hammer Dwarves may not add up to twenty or thirty thousand people, but they firmly occupy a place in the alliance, and no one dares to invade them for three hundred years, which shows how powerful this race is.

"Haha! Grand Duke Nicholas, congratulations! We'll be neighbors from now on! The griffin swooped down, and it looked like it was about to crash into Jiang Zheng.

Jiang Zai smiled and stood motionless in the square in front of the palace, as if he hadn't seen all this.

The hundreds of pounds of griffins were less than five meters away from Jiang Zao, and Furstad suddenly roared, and the griffin under the seat immediately flapped its wings, and finally stopped steadily in front of Jiang Zao, and the huge bird's head was less than ten centimeters away from Jiang Zao.

"Great Lord, long time no see." A smile appeared on Jiang Zai's face.

The last time they met, Jiang Zheng was just a newly promoted earl, and his status was far from being comparable to that of the Great Lord of the Brute Hammer.

But now, he is already a grand duke, the nominal ruler of the Arathi Heights, and his status is almost equal to that of the Great Lord of the Brute Hammer, so when facing Vorstad, Jiang Zai is also on an equal footing, neither humble nor arrogant, with a flat smile.

"Nicholas, how's it going? What about Soras? I didn't expect him to be killed by that bastard Garin, and now he has been resurrected as a death knight? Furstad turned over and walked towards the palace, accompanied by Jiang Zai, talking as he went.

As for the other griffin knights, they also came down and stood by in place.

"Go and bring all the wine left from the palace and treat our Brute Hammer brothers!" Jiang Zai commanded, and a guard captain immediately led a few people to the warehouse to carry wine, and heard those barbarian hammer dwarves laughing one by one, and several of them strode forward, shouting to help, and then were teased by the other brute hammer dwarves, saying that they were going to grab wine and drink.

"What nonsense? Give me the rules! ”

Furstad turned his head and roared, then ...... No one paid attention to it, and Jiang Zheng wanted to laugh when he saw it.

"These bunnies! Lack of discipline! ”

Furstad looked helpless.

The main reason is that the Hammer Dwarves now believe in shamanic teachings and live a life similar to that of the Druids, close to nature and free and easy.

Although the Great Lord is the nominal supreme chief, the dignity between them is not obvious. Especially in the current era of fine wine, who can control it?

Of course, once on the battlefield, these dwarves absolutely obey orders and are even better disciplined than well-trained human soldiers!

How many years did a human soldier train before he went to war?

How can a qualified Brute Hammer Griffin Knight be trained for at least ten years, or even decades?

"King Solas has gone to harass the undead troops. My sentinel told me that the undead troops were less than fifty kilometers away from us and would be there in a day! ”

The two walked into the palace and stopped in front of the map, Jiang Zai casually pointed to a place not far from Riptide Fort and said, "They are here!" The Arathi Heights are not Hinterland, there are no patches of forests, most of them are plains, the march of the undead is not affected, and Kel'thugad will definitely choose to attack at night, or even late at night! The undead are unaffected at night, but we can't! ”

"Not at night!"

When it comes to business, this brute hammer hero, who has been a great lord for more than ten years, suddenly lost the smile on his face, and was very serious: "Dwarves have good eyesight, but they are also affected by dim vision, and neither can griffins, let alone humans!" We must take the initiative to weaken the undead, and then return to defend the city before nightfall! ”

"That's what I thought too."

Jiang Zai nodded and said, "The big battle must be fought during the day!" Now that you're here, with strong air support, there's nothing to worry about! It's just that among the enemies are Kel'thugad, and there may be flying units like gargoyles, and even frost dragons! Hammer Knights, I'm afraid there will be casualties. ”

"Casualties? Dwarves love and enjoy life, but they are never afraid of death! ”

Lord Furstad slapped the table and shouted, "Nicholas, do you know how many dwarves died during World War II? ”

"How much?" Jiang Zheng really doesn't know.

"454 griffon knights died, and the Kudran patriarch took another thousand griffon knights."

Furstad looked at Jiang Zheng and said, "The dwarf is fifty years old and has to go through a period of training before he can become a warrior. But if you want to become a griffin knight, you must also master the power of wind and thunder, and you must live with a griffon from an early age to cultivate feelings and tacit understanding. Only one out of ten Hammer Dwarves can become a Griffon Knight, and it takes at least twenty years to train a Griffon Knight. Before World War II, there were three thousand griffon knights in Eagle's Nest Mountain. After World War II, only one and a half thousand remained. ”

Jiang Zai was silent.

The Griffin Knights are actually the equivalent of Dalaran's Kenrito Guardian and Lordaeron's Silver Hand Paladin, each of which is a veritable professional, a true ace troop, and there are not many of them.

The Hammer Dwarves lost half of their forces in World War II, which is a contribution that cannot be said to be small, even greater than Gilneth and Kurtilas.

Furstad continued: "After World War II, we trained another group of young griffon knights, and the number gradually increased to two thousand, although many of them were new recruits. After the outbreak of the undead plague, we have supported a thousand griffin knights, do you know how much we have lost? Four hundred. ”

Four hundred, that's not a small amount, you let Dalaran lose four hundred mages, or the Knights of the Silver Hand lose four hundred paladins?

The dwarves are roughly divided into four clans: the Copperbeard Clan of Ironforge, the Black Iron Clan of Blackstone Mountain, the Hammer Clan of Eagle's Nest Mountain, and the Ice Dwarves of Northrend.

Needless to say, the Ice Dwarves have been missing for many years, the Copperbeard Dwarves are the most politically savvy and sleek, the Black Iron Clan has produced many wizards and intrigues, and the Brute Hammer Dwarves are the most simple, sincere, and the only doers.

The Hammer Dwarves do what they say, which is very rare.

If during World War II, it was because of the tribe's surprise attack on Eagle's Nest Mountain that angered the Hammer Dwarves and caused them to join the alliance against the tribe, then now, the undead did not invade Hinterland at all, and the Hammer Dwarves still came out to help, with heavy losses. Although it is because of the Lord of Kurtaz, it is still precious.

Humans owe the Brute Hammer Dwarves a great favor and can't pay it back.

"The Hammer Dwarves have lost so many good knights, but we never regret it."

Fustad looked at Jiang Zheng: "Because whether it is the tribe or the Scourge, they are the enemies of the entire Eastern Kingdom, and we live in this continent, so we have to take our responsibility." More than a decade ago, the Kudran patriarch took on this responsibility; More than a decade later, I will take on this responsibility as well. ”

Jiang Zheng was silent again, and after a minute, he raised his head and chanted softly: "We will hear the call of griffons in the wind, and we will hear the sound of the hammer striking echoing in the mountains." Face the adversity bravely, my brother, for the Sanctuary of the Ancestors beckons to you. ”

This is a memorial on the pedestal of the Stormwind Heroes Valley, the Kudran statue. Not long ago, I went to Stormwind City, and Jiang Zai specially visited the five statues and read all the commemorative texts.

Furstad's eyes lit up, "You've been to Stormwind?" At that time, I was hesitant to write a memorial, and I always felt that he was not dead. My brother is the greatest Hammer Griffon Knight, he is the overlord of the sky, he has killed an unknown number of red dragons, and the orcs he killed can be piled into mountains! ”

"No, High Lord, you are as great as the Kudran Patriarch. He's strong, he's brave, and he's a great dwarven hero, but you're better suited than him to be the patriarch of the Hammerhammer Dwarves and the king of Eagle's Nest. ”

Jiang Zheng smiled, and then promised: "I heard that Duke Choraci exchanged half of the corpse of the ancient black dragon for a month of five hundred griffin knights?" Great Lord, after this battle, I will give you a dragon, a whole Void Ghost Dragon, a Void Ghost Dragon more than twenty meters long! ”

"A whole dragon? More than twenty meters long? ”

Furstad's panting became more and more rapid, and his eyes were shining: "This is what you said, you can't pay for it!" ”
