444. Return to China
The name of the Federation is a bit vulgar, but Duten doesn't want to use the name of the Alliance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The Alliance was originally led by Stormwind to resist the orcs, and they will do the same in the future. Of course, Du Teng can't let the tribe do whatever he wants, and if possible, he will lead his allies to resist the tribe, but he is not all the way to Stormwind after all.
The rise of Gilneth will inevitably form a confrontation with Stormwind City, and it will not look good or sound to call it an alliance again.
It's better to call it a federation directly, anyway, unlike a federation in the traditional sense, they won't form a state, Gilneth is still Gilney, the High Elves are still High Elves, and the Hammer Dwarves are still dwarves, which are essentially no different from the Alliance, but the name has changed.
Furstad had no problem with what to name, this kind of thing was a trivial matter for him, and Duten could call it whatever he wanted, and he would agree to it all anyway.
After that, Duten stayed here for two more days, tasted the dwarven food, and discussed some matters with Furstad before leaving for home.
It's been two months since he's been away from Gilneth since he came to support the High Elves, and it's time to go back.
The harvest of this trip, as well as his future layout for Gilneth, these things have to be reported to his father. Whether he agrees or disagrees - that's it, it's not appropriate not to say it.
However, he did not return to China alone, and the dwarf Brock Stonemane, who was the first to taste the fine wine, became his companion on this trip.
Ripping off a handful of Furstad's beard seemed to make it impossible for him to stay in Eagle's Nest Mountain anymore, anyway, he said so, Duten didn't believe it.
Brock's sister is Furstad's wife, he is Furstad's brother-in-law, as long as he is not treasonous, no matter how big the mistake is, I am afraid Furstad will not punish him excessively. To put it bluntly, this thing is just tired of staying in Eagle's Nest Mountain, and I can't wait to go out for a walk, so I just took the opportunity of this trouble to self-exile.
Of course, it is not excluded that this product wants to be close to the water and get the moon first, so it is simply moved to the place where the wine is made, it is convenient to drink, and you can drink as much as you want, and you don't need to queue up in Eagle's Nest Mountain to grab that little bit of resources.
These were all guesses by Duten, but he felt that he had guessed at least nine points.
The main reason is that I haven't heard of this saliva along the way, and I really can't help but make people think crookedly.
That's fine, first of all, the journey is not lonely, and secondly, Brock is an example, just after signing the alliance, he took the initiative to go to the human realm, for the brute hammer dwarves who have relatively shallow contact with humans, this kind of behavior can be regarded as a precedent, so that the vague worries in the dwarves' hearts can be put down as much as possible, which is a good thing for the entire federation.
……
Without saying a word, Duten and Bullock set off early in the morning, and by the afternoon they could already see the Greymane Wall in the distance.
At the same time that they saw the city walls, the soldiers on the city walls also saw their figures.
I could vaguely see the crowds on the city wall, a large number of soldiers gathered, and the city defense crossbow on the wall was also slowly aimed at them, and they could attack at any time.
Of course, Duten can't let Bullock be in danger, and who knows if it's really dangerous?
Therefore, when he was still two or three hundred meters away from the city wall, he broke away from the back of the griffin, and the soles of his feet stomped in the air, and after his body was in the air for a short time, he quickly flew towards the city wall. This is almost already his signature ability, and no one up and down Gilneth doesn't know it.
And at this distance, the telescope can already see the figure more clearly.
Of course, the telescope itself at this time was still very primitive, and it could see more than 300 meters away at the farthest, but this was enough.
The captain in charge of guarding this section of the city wall had a happy face and waved his arms vigorously.
"Yes, Your Highness! It's Your Highness! Lay down your arms, His Royal Highness the Prince is back! His Royal Highness the Prince is back!! ”
His voice seemed to have magical power, and the moment was heard far away, and even the civilians within the city walls heard his shout. Countless people smiled with joy and then rushed in the direction from which the voice came.
And these people shouted "His Royal Highness the prince has returned home" while moving.
Countless voices gradually converged into a huge wave, and even Jean and a few important ministers in the royal court heard the cheers of the people, and Jean took the lead and walked out, and everyone else was happy.
……
The distance of two or three hundred meters is simply a step away for Du Teng in flight.
It only took a few breaths before he landed firmly on the wall.
"Oh!!"
After making sure that Du Teng was indeed not wrong, the surrounding soldiers let out a warm cheer. Their cheers infected the crowd below, and the ordinary people didn't know why, but they also cheered.
"Your Highness!"
The commander in charge of guarding the city wall leaned over excitedly, as if a brain-dead fan saw his favorite star.
"It's a good thing."
Du Teng nodded and patted the commander on the shoulder.
The captain's face flushed, in fact, all the soldiers around him looked like this. For His Royal Highness the Prince, who has single-handedly protected Gilneth from the invasion of the undead, everyone is filled with special adoration for him. Now the children in the kingdom ask the boy what he wants to do most in the future, and the answer is to become a great hero like His Royal Highness the Prince. If you ask a girl what she wants to do when she grows up, almost every little girl will say that they want to be the bride of His Royal Highness.
Of course, such an answer often elicits a burst of laughter from adults, but it also shows how great Duten's reputation in the Kingdom of Gilneth is.
"Lay down your arms, those are dwarves, our allies!"
Du Teng saw that some of the soldiers around him were still looking at the black shadow flying in the distance as if they were facing a great enemy, and hurriedly said.
With his words, the surrounding soldiers relaxed and put down their weapons one after another.
The city defense weapons on the city walls also returned to their positions, no longer aimed at Brock in the distance.
A short time later, Brock and another empty griffin landed on the city wall, arousing the curiosity of countless people.
Although dwarves are not unfamiliar with humans, the vast majority of people have never seen such a group with a very long history. The same is true for griffins, there is no griffin colony in the Kingdom of Gilneys to breed here, and the people of Gilneth are relatively conservative and don't like to travel very much, so there are only a handful of people who have actually seen griffins.
This beautiful creature has even been able to fight dragons in countless fantasy works, and in Azeroth, their population power is not below that of the guardian dragons, and it is a very powerful and beautiful magical creature.
Everyone was finally lucky enough to see this legendary creature, and everyone stared at the griffin with wide eyes.
Unfortunately, griffons were very proud creatures, and they probably didn't like to be seen like monkeys in a zoo, so the two griffons let out a sharp chirp, and the one that Duten had ridden on was wilder, and his body jerked up, and his sharp claws and forelimbs grabbed at the head of the nearest soldier.
If you catch it at this moment, let alone an ordinary soldier, even a high-level soldier will be difficult to block this blow, and this ordinary soldier will definitely be directly slapped into a pulp or torn into two pieces.
The soldier seemed to be dumbfounded—in fact, everyone froze—and he stared at the pair of sharp claws that were getting closer and closer to him, forgetting even the most basic shield resistance.
Fortunately, not everyone has forgotten......
Syllable!
Duten's figure jerked in front of the griffon, blocking the pair of talons with both hands before the sharp claws could catch them.
"Hey! Hey! Calm down! Calm down! ”
Du Teng hurriedly pushed the griffin back two steps, released its claws, and quickly wrapped his arms around the griffin's neck, gently patting while trying to soothe the other party.
The griffin is not a beast, it has its own intelligence, and it knows how powerful the other party is for this man who can block his own blow and has been sitting on his back before. I also know that this person is my future owner, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most important friend.
We've only just met...... But reluctantly, give him a face.
The frenzied griffin calmed down, and its companion, the other griffon, had never left Bullock's grasp from the start. Or rather, Brock didn't give it a chance to go wild at all.
He was also the second person to react besides Duten, the moment Duten blocked the griffin, Brock grabbed the reins of his griffin. They had been together for a long time, a full dozen years, so it took him little effort to calm down his griffin.
When the two griffons had calmed down, Du Teng did not rush to the royal court, but took Brock and the two griffons back to his courtyard.
The place here is big enough that there is no need to worry about the griffons feeling aggrieved, and although they must be given a nest, it is clearly not suitable right now. So he could only temporarily settle the griffin and Brock here, and let the maid bring dozens of catties of raw meat.
Griffins are omnivores, they can eat vegetables and fruits, they can eat meat, and they can still eat dry food that humans eat, but their favorite food must be meat, which is the same as humans.
Well-fed griffons are actually very quiet creatures, spending most of their time resting and grooming their feathers, except for flying and hunting. These guys are very smelly and beautiful, comparable to human women, and they care very much about their appearance and feathers, and they will tidy up their feathers when they have nothing to do. Of course, this is inseparable from their flight, and their feathers are not suitable for flying.
But caring so much about feathers is still beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
After settling the two griffins and Bullock, Duten tidied up his outfit and walked towards the royal court.
The armor had to be replaced, and although Furstad said before leaving that he would give him a better set of armor, good armor, like weapons, was very difficult. Even for the dwarves, it will take some time to re-forge, and it will take half a month to get it.
Therefore, Du Teng's armor before he set out for the battle was already very worn, covered with various scars, and even a small part of the shoulder armor that was twisted and damaged due to his lack of skill when he first used the illusion shift. It looks like walking out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and although it is true, it is still too ugly.
So Du Teng simply took off the armor on his body, and just walked towards the royal court with his long sword on his back.
Everywhere they passed, all the soldiers subconsciously stood up straight and saluted Du Teng.
Identity is one thing, and the other main reason is that Tobias has returned a few days ago.
His return not only brought back 300 soldiers who were certified with Du Teng, but also brought back good news.
The High Elves were indeed invaded by the undead, and they were powerless to resist, because of the relationship between His Royal Highness the Prince, although the High Elves ultimately failed, but the losses were reduced to the limit, and the High Elves were grateful for the assistance of His Royal Highness the Prince, and had verbally formed an alliance with Gilneth to jointly resist the invasion of the Undead Scourge.
At the same time, His Royal Highness the Prince has sent people to occupy Stratholme in the north.
Stansom, it is the mighty city of civilization on the whole continent. When Lordaeron still existed, it was the most prosperous city in the world outside of the royal city. With the invasion of the undead, Lordaeron was destroyed, and news about Stratholm was cut off.
Now there is new news that Stratholme has actually become the city of Gilneth!
Although it is a city that has fallen, and all the people in it have turned into undead, such a huge city, even if it is empty, has great value in itself.
Not to mention the geographical location, the buildings of the whole city, the treasury of all kinds of finances.
As we all know, the undead don't need supplies.
In addition to weapons and armor, everything including food, gold and silver was left behind. It doesn't matter if the food is contaminated, it can be purified. The people of this world do not seem to have any resistance to purified food, as long as they can be sure that there is no problem, even if it has been polluted before, the people can still accept this special food.
There are also all kinds of supplies, I don't know how much they have accumulated in Stratholme, it is said that dozens of large underground warehouses are piled up, enough for the people of the entire kingdom of Gilneth to use for a year.
That's such a huge number, no one dares to believe it. But it's true, why would His Royal Highness the Prince lie about such a thing?
There is still a lot of news, such as that His Royal Highness the Prince has obtained a legendary artifact, that Stratholme has been given a fief to the only daughter of the Crolley family, that Lordaeron can be used as the next target, and so on......
In short, there is so much news that it is a little difficult to digest.
Coupled with today's dwarves and griffins, as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see the relationship, the thought that His Royal Highness the Prince has actually obtained a new ally for Gilneth has made these guards stand guard have to show him their heartfelt respect and admiration.
Salutation, that's just the most basic expression. (To be continued.) )
