Chapter 31: Proudmore (Part II)
Our target is a post station at a garrison to the southwest and the border with Gilneys, and according to the information I have received, Dai Lin's party should rest at nightfall today. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info I decided early on to arrive before they arrived and to enjoy the scenery of Loch Lordamere with my friends and loved ones, so the speed of the journey was not very fast.
I believe that if we are seen by others, it is more like a trip, yes, this is a trip, and the scenery of the silver pine forest is so charming in such an autumn season.
And here I can't help but recall the decisive battle between the Alliance and the Horde here, and now think that if Gul'dan hadn't chosen to betray the orcs in the first place, or take a step back, if the Horde hadn't sent the Red Dragons to fight Quel'Thalas on all fronts, or if they hadn't sent those ancient creatures and their largest Blackstone tribe to pursue those traitors, maybe we wouldn't have lived to see what we are now.
But on the other hand, if our alliance didn't have the traitor Perynold, or if Gilneth had used his strength and the elves had gone all out from the beginning, maybe the war would never have been fought here.
It may be that it is the mixture of such factors that has completely ended this almost evenly matched war in three years, and it may be that the combination of multiple factors has produced today's effect, maybe I am right, but who can figure out this kind of wishful thinking of mine. After all, there are no ifs in history, and I can only say that that the battle changed so much.
But there are some things that have not changed because of this, such as human nature.
Speaking of reality, I don't think it's a wise move for the Admiral to cross Gilneth in the southwest of the Silver Pine Forest, although Geographically speaking, Gilneth is located between the kingdom of Lordaeron and the kingdom of Kurtilas, and the distance is definitely the closest route, so the Admiral can indeed save a lot of time. But the relationship between the two countries is no less bad than that of Alterant and Fort Riptide back then, and it is true that he is running directly on other people's territory with his team like this, which will definitely make the selfish lord there feel unpleasant.
And the master of this country is none other than Gray Sideburns. The lord, who had only reluctantly joined the alliance and made a modest contribution because he was afraid that the tribe would occupy his country, took the lead in withdrawing from the alliance under the pretext of the detention center's tax problem after the threat of the tribe disappeared. This really reveals his true nature. (Followed by the elves of Quel'Salas and Riptide Castle, which surprised me a little)
I've often thought silently that if the Orcs had invaded Lordaeron on the southwestern coast of Gilneth back then, I don't think he would have done anything like Perrynord, and it's not unfounded. The only force that pursued the Orc fleet in the Endless Sea was the Kuratis fleet that had been loyal to the Alliance, and he even lost his only son before he began to have air superiority. Gilneth, on the other hand, did not send a single warship to participate in the whole process.
Therefore, I was still a little worried about whether the Lord of Kul Tiras would be able to make such a trip, and I thought so on horseback, and my sorrow was inadvertently noticed by my beloved.
"You're worried, my father remembers you when you were a kid. She laughed at this and made a groundless guess, and when my three paladin friends heard this, they couldn't help but blush and put away their interest in watching the scenery. And I just sighed at such a joke. My state of doing this also affected Gianna's face in front of me, so she put away her joking tone and said to me, "Do you have anything else on your mind?" ”
Gianna asked, making me hesitate to tell her about my concerns. After all, if I let her feel that her father would be safe, it would definitely affect her interest, but such silence to her would also make her feel...
"Are you still hiding it from me?" Gianna turned her head, her face full of doubt, and the look on her face made me palpitate more than she looked angry. And now I can't fool him for a reason, after all, I don't know if her voyeurism can penetrate my inner thoughts hidden by the Light, so I confessed.
"I'm just guessing that it's not wise for your father to go through Gilneth. And Wen Lesa and Falik and the others immediately turned pale. The relationship between those two countries is known to almost everyone in the world. Before the alliance was formed, when Gianna went to Dalaran to study, she first made a big circle north, landed on the west coast of Lordaeron, passed through the royal city, and then headed south. At the time, I even naively thought that Dai Lin was only doing this to bring our two countries closer..... but now it seems that there is indeed another reason for him.
It was only after the formation of the alliance that relations between the two countries eased slightly. But now Gilneth's exit may also mean that he will return to his old business.
Gianna was also silent, but she soon noticed that we were all unconsciously focused on her, and she laughed at this time. "You think too much, my prince. Gianna gave me a determined look, and then before I could ask questions, she continued, "Greysides, if he does this, he will face the combined encirclement of the Alliance's most powerful navy and army. ”
"That's right, Greysideburns is selfish but not a fool. I was relieved, and even though I said that, I held Gianna's hands tightly on the horse's rope as I felt the fluctuations in her heart. Yes, although she pretended to be so determined, her heart was probably more worried than anyone else about my speculation, she had lost her only brother in the First World War, and she certainly would not want to lose her father in such a time of peace, and I can only silently comfort her heart with the holy light, and gradually increase the speed of invincibility.
Although this speculation is up to me, I don't think it's very likely. After all, Gianna was right, although the two countries could almost be said to be feuding, Gilneth simply could not fight against the armies of the two countries, because if he really wanted to attack Dai Lin, he had to be ready to go to war against both countries at the same time.
But then again, if Greysideburns did assassinate Proudmore, then Gianna, as the sole heir, would have chosen to cling to Lordaeron in both public and private. As for Gilneth, it should soon be destroyed by the combined forces of our two countries, and the final result can only be the expansion of Lordaeron's territory again...
Maybe that's in my best interest. Indeed, a country that is so close to the royal city of Lordaeron still feels a bit of an eyesore in my eyes.
But there has to be a big premise for this, that is, Gray Temples is really that stupid, and more importantly, it is really the so-called peacetime now..... Admiral is really a rare talent in the alliance, and he must not encounter accidents until he confronts greater threats in the future, and in the face of such threats, I don't know if there is a so-called difference between countries.
Although I think so, I still don't think it's very likely that this kind of thing will happen, and I believe that each of us has this consensus in our hearts. However, for Gianna, who is a relative of Dai Lin, it is a different state, and I can't help but regret that I talked about such a topic. It is precisely because of the change in her heart that we unconsciously reduce our interest in appreciating the scenery and the pleasure of conversation, but are more focused on hurrying. It was for this reason that, just after noon, we arrived at the garrison town on the border with Gilneth in the southwest.
And here we have experienced another accident, and perhaps my guess has unfortunately been true.
