Chapter 732: Brute Hammer Kingdom (2/4)
Grimbato is purified!
The curse is lifted!
The Hammer Dwarf, who had just ascended the mountain, cheered as he looked at the city in front of him that had been freed from the curse of the ancient gods.
Although they have become accustomed to the natural environment of Hinterland, and are accustomed to living in company with griffins, they have not forgotten the ancient glory and ancient homeland of the Hammer Dwarves.
Especially those old people who have lived for hundreds of years, they still vaguely remember the scene of bloody battles in this city.
Too many of them died to hold the city;
In order to abandon the city, they parted ways with the rest of their tribes, and those who decided to stay, but ultimately failed to stay, and were chased to the Twilight Highlands by cursed fears, still live in the area, and have not spoken to each other for hundreds of years.
Are their friends still alive?
How are they doing now?
Have they escaped the effects of the curse?
Are they doing well?
No one knows.
But at least, now that they've recaptured the city, it's a good start.
From now on, they will re-defend their ancient glory and use the city as a base to attack the Twilight Highlands and retake their lost people!
"Nicholas, I, I...... On behalf of all the Hammer Dwarves, I thank you! ”
The hands of the High Lord of Vorstad holding the Storm Hammer trembled.
For hundreds of years, they didn't want to return to the city, but the cursed power here deterred them, and those who wanted to live in the city went crazy, ran away, degenerated, and eventually had to abandon the city completely.
Now, Jiang Zheng has purified the city.
He purified not only the city, but also the haze that had shrouded the hearts of the Brutehammer Dwarves for hundreds of years.
The haze is dispelled, the light is restored, and Jiang Zheng is the benefactor of the entire Hammer clan, the great benefactor.
This kindness cannot be expressed in words, and it is even difficult to repay it with practical actions.
Returning to Grimbaatar means a lot to the weakest of the Brute Hammer Clans right now.
Back here, with a city far more impregnable than Eagle's Nest Mountain, the Brute Hammer Dwarf is truly qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with Copperbeard and Black Iron.
The original Eagle's Nest Mountain was just a small territory, and as the leader of the Brute Hammer Clan, he was just a big lord, and the people and territories he ruled were not even as good as any of the big lords of Lordaeron.
But now, with Grimbaatar, he is qualified to regain his ancient glory and claim the throne.
The Hammer Dwarves have regained their own kingdom.
The heart of the Great Lord of Furstad was overflowing with surging excitement.
"Great Lord, you have to thank not only me, but also the Red Dragon Legion. Over the years, if it weren't for the Red Dragon Legion guarding the city, it would have fallen into the hands of the Black Dragon Legion and the Twilight Hammer. Jiang Zheng pointed to the Red Dragon Lady next to him and said.
"Of course! Of course! The Hammer will always remember the sacrifices and contributions made by the Red Dragon Legion! You will always be our friends! Grimbaatar will always have the door open to the Red Dragon, and you will always be the guests of honor of the Hammer Dwarves! The Great Lord of Furstad hurriedly spoke.
"The Brute Hammer has been kind to us. Without your help, it will be difficult for us to rescue our Majesty the Queen from the Dragonroar Orcs and Deathwing, and the Red Dragon Legion will not return to its former glory. ”
In the face of the Hammer Lord, Valestasa did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "The Dragon Legion is above mortals, but we also have our own preferences. Because of Prince Kael'thas, we've always had a good relationship with the High Elves. Now, Brute Hammer is also a friend of the Red Dragon Legion. We have a common enemy: the Twilight Hammer and the Black Dragon Legion. ”
"High Lord, according to our previous agreement, Grimbaatar will be the base camp for the attack on Twilight's hammer."
Jiang Zai pointed to the Knights of the Silver Hand who were arrayed not far away and said, "The Knights of the Silver Hand will be stationed in this city temporarily together with the Red Dragon Legion. When the war is over, they will leave and return to Lordaeron. ”
"Of course, of course!"
Furstad wished so.
With the power of the Hammer Dwarves alone, there is no way to hold the city, and the Twilight Hammer and the Black Dragon Legion are not easy to deal with.
With the Red Dragon Legion and the Knights of the Silver Hand helping to defend him, it's too late for him to be happy!
Jiang Zai smiled and nodded.
According to the pre-war agreement, Lordaeron will help the Brutehammer Dwarves recover Grimbaatar and attack Twilight's Hammer, and when the war is over, the wetlands will belong to Lordaeron, Grimbaatar and Ironforge.
This area is rich in products, has a humid climate, and has a lot of land suitable for farming, which is important for Lordaeron, where the undead plague has not yet been completely purified.
Lordaeron gives what he deserves and gets what he deserves.
As for Jiang Zheng?
Status, territory, wealth, these are no longer important to him.
The future king of Lordaeron is his own son, and what else is there to say about fighting the world for his son?
In the next half month, the Knights of the Silver Hand and some members of the Red Dragon Legion were stationed in Grimbaatar, and the follow-up supplies from Lordaeron finally arrived.
Immediately afterwards, the Hammerhammer Griffin Knights cooperated with the Red Dragon Legion's vermilion sentries to deal with the Black Dragon Legion's air forces, while the Silver Hand Knights, under the leadership of the High Lord Tirio Fordin, made steady progress from Grimbaatar all the way east, and soon established a guard post at the fork in the mountain below.
In less than half a month, the area west of the col, including the Vermilion Sanctuary and the two canyons, was breached by the coalition forces, and the Dragonthroat Orcs, Twilight's Hammer, and the Black Dragon Legion retreated to the eastern area.
Knowing that the people of Eagle's Nest Mountain had regained Grimbaatar, the remnants of the Hammer Dwarves who had struggled to survive in the Twilight Heights for many years immediately came to life.
The reason they stayed here in the first place was because they didn't want to give up Grimbaatar, their second home.
Their persistence for so many years has finally paid off.
Although it is not themselves who reoccupy Grimbaatar, but the compatriots of Eagle's Nest Mountain, compatriots are compatriots after all.
The Hammer Dwarves scattered throughout Twilight's Hammer began to come to Grimbaatar one after another, discussing returning to Grimbaatar and sharing the Hammer.
The Grand Lord of Vorstad readily agreed.
Dwarves have always been short-tempered and don't say anything.
Because of their long contact with nature and living with griffins, the Brute Hammer Dwarf not only has not restrained his temper, but also has a little more wildness in his body.
But the Grand Lord of Furstad is an outlier.
Or after becoming a great lord, his status and responsibilities made him change himself, become less irritable, and become more and more like a patriarch and a king.
He already has the heart of a king.
All Brutehammer Dwarves can return to Grimbaatar, but Grimbaatar can only have one voice, and that is his Furstad voice.
Not autocracy, not hegemony, but the need of reality.
Even if you add those tribesmen scattered in the Twilight Heights, the number of Hammer Dwarves is only 30,000.
30,000 is not as good as Lordaeron's least populated city.
The Hammer Dwarves have fallen, so they must unify their wills and twist them into a rope.
There is no other option.
How to negotiate, how to negotiate, how to co-manage Grimbaatar in the future, whether to establish an elder council or council, this is the matter of the brute hammer itself, as an outsider, Jiang Zheng has no power to manage, and he has no interest in managing it.
He had more important things to do.
