Chapter 9: The Dreadnought Fortress

Dreadnought Fortress is a landing base for Alliance forces west of Northrend, and it is responsible for receiving supplies and troops transported from Stormwind to the North Pole. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info At first, it was a small temporary landing site, but with the outbreak of war, a large number of troops and resources needed to be transported from Stormwind to the continent of Northrend in the north. In this way, the landing site gradually flourished, with tall and heavy walls, strong fortress barracks, large harbors for ships, lively inns, taverns, trading areas, and artisan quarters full of fires.

It's been a long time since I've been here, and looking at this white fortress by the sea, memories of the past flood into my mind.

"Dreadnought Fortress is still the same, just like it was when we came here a few years ago, it hasn't changed at all." Warrior Fenix sighed.

"Yes, I especially think that back then, we were here to resist the attack of the Scourge Spider Demon, hehe, it was like it happened yesterday." Ares was also impressed.

"Eh, do you remember when we helped Satharian find his sister?" Redbeard asked suddenly.

"We helped his sister find him......" I said helplessly.

"It doesn't matter, it's not the same who looks for whom. At that time, General Alos was captured by the Plague, haha, if we hadn't saved him with Thassarian, he would have been done long ago. Hey, I really don't understand how that one-eyed dragon idiot became the leader of the Western Front of the Dreadnought Expeditionary Force. Redbeard said slowly.

"I think he's fine, he wasn't caught because he was incompetent. At that time, the minions of the scourge had already infiltrated the interior of the fortress, from the prosecutor to the guards and cooks, and there were people from the Lich King, which was really unguardable. Fenix said.

"It's true that the situation of the Alliance and the Horde was difficult at that time. Cursed spies, scourge and war, unpredictable dragons, haunting ancient gods...... Luckily, we won in the end. "I said to my brothers.

"We've won, but William, what is the price?" Phoenix asked, looking at me

I took off my hood, revealing my long snow-white hair and eyes that shimmered with a cold blue light, and said, "All this! "Uh, why is that word so familiar?

The brothers all nodded yes, while the thief girl who was carrying the little mage on her back rolled her eyes and said, "Assi, a group of neurotic ......"

In a few moments, we were already outside the gates of the Dreadnought. Several of the guards guarding the gate of the fortress saw someone coming and greeted them.

"Please show the insignia of the Alliance." One of the guards said to us.

We took out the badges that the dwarves had given us, and the guard looked at them and motioned for us to enter the city.

Suddenly, another guard drew his sword at his waist and shouted at us, "Death Knight! Lay down your arms, put them down! "Hearing someone shouting, several of the rest guards also drew their swords and surrounded us.

"What's going on?" We're all a little confused.

"Lay down your arms, Death Knight, and don't put up useless resistance!" The guard's mood was very excited, and the long sword trembled and slowly pressed towards me, and I was really afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions and suddenly stabbed a sword at me.

"Everybody, calm down." I held out my hand to show that I wasn't holding a weapon. Looking at the guards who were still nervous, I suddenly understood, and said, "Don't make trouble, I'm not a natural disaster, I'm a death knight who followed Sassarian to join the Alliance......"

A few guards, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do next.

At this time, a man who looked like a commander led a dozen guards to rush over, he looked at me with the alliance badge in his hand, and then at the nervous subordinates, and immediately understood what was happening. He hurriedly shouted to the sword-wielding guards, "Lift the alert! You idiots. Seeing that the captain had already spoken, the guard hesitated for a moment, and then withdrew his weapon.

The commander walked up to us and said embarrassedly, "Don't be surprised, these are new recruits who don't know anything. Coupled with the fact that a werewolf had attacked the fortress just now, it inevitably made them a little nervous. Then he yelled at the guards, "How many times have I told you, these former heroes have broken away from the Lich King's control and rejoined the Alliance, why can't you always remember!" Give me a day to face the wall! ”

"Sir, you don't have to blame them, they are also doing their duty." I smiled and said to the captain of the guard.

"See, even Mr. Death Knight has good things to say for you. Then let's not take it as an example, if this kind of thing happens again, just face the wall for a day, do you hear? The captain yelled at his guards.

"I heard you!" Several guards replied in unison.

The captain looked at us and said, "Then you can go into the city, and I will not bother you any more." With that, he nodded at us and left with a team of a dozen people.

We walked into the fortress, which was different from other military fortresses, and it was obviously much more prosperous and lively. But walking on the stone road of the fortress, I felt that the atmosphere around me was a little abnormal, so I said to my brothers, "Have you noticed that these passers-by are a little strange? ”

Ares looked around, didn't notice anything unusual, and said, "No, isn't this all normal?" ”

"But you see, these people are all looking at us, and they are still muttering something." I reminded the Paladin.

"yes, I think you're overthinking."

"I don't believe you, look at those people." I motioned with my eyes for everyone to look. I saw a few mercenary-looking people squinting at us, muttering something in their mouths. As soon as they saw us looking at them, they looked away from us.

"Ah, you don't have to care, wherever a paladin like my brother goes, he will be watched by others and become the focus of other people's discussions, I've long been used to it. Of course, when you stand in my handsome aura, you will inevitably attract the admiring eyes of some ignorant teenagers. This may be a little exciting, but get used to it. Because as long as you stand by my side, you will always enjoy the baptism of this gaze...... "Whenever a little girl appears next to me, Ares will speak in a strange tone, and I will say that I am used to it.

"Why didn't I see which handsome you were?" Redbeard asked in the usual paladin-like tone.

"People who bask in the sun all day long will not feel how great and charming the sun is. Only those who live in dark corners can appreciate the sacredness of the sun, understand the charm of the sun, and praise the selflessness and warmth of the sun! ”

"The people who come out of the cathedral are really eloquent." Redbeard said sarcastically.

"What's wrong with the cathedral, it shows that we are the most proud students of the Light. I'm proud, I'm proud! "Ares has now cultivated to the point where he has no face and no skin.

"I've seen shameless, but I've never seen you so shameless." The thief girl glanced at Ares and said, "You're still handsome and aura." People aren't looking at you at all, they're looking at William. ”

Lizzie's words surprised me: "Look at me? See what I'm doing? ”

"yes, what do you see him doing?" Ares said unconvinced.

Lizzie glanced at Ares with disdain, that means I'm talking to someone else, what do you interject, where is it cool. And Ares looked relieved, as if he said that if it's cool next to you, I'll stay next to you, what can you do to me!

Ignoring Ares, the Thief Girl turned back to me and said, "As a new class, the Death Knight is of course under the watchful eye of others, many of whom have heard of it but have not seen it. To be honest, even I'm curious about you. Then he looked at me with those beautiful eyes, as if he wanted to see through me.

Ares was obviously jealous, and said to me with an old face: "Death rider, I want to break up with you......"

"Don't make a fuss......," I said helplessly. But my mind was still full of questions, so I said to Lizzie, "We Death Knight have been in the Alliance for many years, how can you say as if you have just joined, what is going on?" ”

Lizzie smiled weirdly and said, "Hehe, that's what I'm curious about you, this feeling is like we don't live in the same dimension, which is both frightening and curious. It seems that there are countless secrets hidden in you, and you can't help but want to explore them. ”

I swear by my status as a veteran hooligan that if she hadn't been saying this to me behind my back, she would have confessed to me. Also explore the secrets of my body, don't you know that this sentence is very forgiving, hehehe......

"Woo, Deathrider, I'm going to break up with you, it's now, I can't live this day......" Ares has broken down, his mind is ten thousand times more rogue than mine, God knows what he's thinking right now.

"Don't make a fuss......," I said helplessly, again.

In the course of the conversation, we have arrived at the treatment station. We handed the unconscious shaman over to the Alliance Physician, and the bald priest in the lead looked at the shaman's condition and shook his head, saying that he had never been in such a situation, and wished we could mourn. And when he saw me take a handful of gold coins out of my pocket, the bald priest said that he would save our friend at any cost, and vowed to come to see him if he couldn't save the shaman.

After arranging everything, the rest of us decided to go to the tavern to pass the rest of the time. After all, everyone is tired and hungry right now, and a tavern filled with plenty of cheap ale and large roasted quail is a good choice.

The bald priest had already sent us out of the streets for several times, and we had to let out the mad dogs to fight Fenix before we drove him back. And the priest said as he walked: If the shaman is well, he will find someone to inform us. At the same time, Amway said: We are the best doctors in the alliance, if you have any headache and brain fever, go to the treatment station to see, ensure that the medicine is cured, and will give away preferential prices.

Escaping the pesky priest, we finally arrived at this tavern by the shore. Pushing open the door of the tavern, a noisy world greeted us. Mercenaries gather in groups to talk, dusty travelers sit around the fireplace and ask for warmth, a few free adventurers are talking about what they have seen, and gluttonous diners at the big table are giggling and laughing. People are singing with wine glasses, or singing and dancing around the violin-playing musicians in the tavern. A few people sang and cried, as if they wanted to vent the pain and grievances they had suffered over the years. Others laughed, like puppets with broken strings, left to stagger, uncontrolled.

This is the home of adventurers, and it allows you to forget all your worries, even temporarily. The life of licking blood from the knife edge makes everyone nervous, and the tavern is a place where people can relax. Even if you're going to be on fire tomorrow, then please give this toast, my friend, and at least it will keep you out of fear tonight. Even if tomorrow is going to be a dead life, then please give this toast, my friend, it will at least let you spend the night in revelry and joy.

Looking at the scene in front of me, I felt as if I had returned to the time when I was young and strong, and this feeling can only be indescribable. But in the midst of this noisy paradise, I saw a discordant figure. A man in a cloak and hood sat in the corner of the tavern without saying a word. Most of his body was hidden in the shadow of the candlelight, and the glass he held in his hand was filled with bright red wine, which made him even more mysterious.

I stared at him, and he still didn't look up, just kept shaking the red wine in his glass. This was strange to me, but in the end I followed my brothers and found a big table and sat down.
