Chapter 4: The Messenger of God
"Have they also received the legacy of God?"
I nodded.
Shining Cloud sighed: "You have a heavy task on your shoulders, work hard, when will I take you to see my father." β
A voice came from behind him, "Right now, I'm back, why don't I go to see his old man." β
I turned my head and saw that it was Brother Zhanhu, and everyone else had also come out.
"Second brother, what about the eldest brother?" Zhan Hu asked.
"The eldest brother is leading the troops on the front line at any time, we can't both come back, there must always be someone in front of us. β
Zhan Hu bowed his head and said: "Let's go to see my father now, Longbow, you go with me, the princess will stay here first, second brother, Longbow will tell you everything about us." β
Shanyun said: "Having said that, you also know your father's temper, whether you can achieve it depends on your eloquence, and I will try my best to help you." I hope that the identity of your God's messenger will impress him. β
I said to Muzi: "Princess, please wait here with your brother and the brothers, and the two eldest brothers and I will go to see His Royal Highness the Prince first, and only with his support can our task be completed." β
Muzi nodded obediently and said, "Be careful." Come back early. She looked like a wife telling her husband, I looked at the passenger liner next to me as if nothing had happened, nodded my head, turned around and walked away with the two eldest brothers, Zhan Hu and Shanyun.
In addition to the Prince's Palace, I asked, "Where is His Royal Highness now, and won't he go back here?"
Shanyun sighed and said: "The situation is so tense now, where did my father come back, he has been watching from the command headquarters, don't worry, my father also has a place to rest there, let's go there to see him." β
I smiled and said, "What am I worried about, who can recognize the way I look now?"
Zhan Hu said: "By the way, second brother, do we have any good doctor here, let him show Longbow, these scars have too much impact on him." β
Before Shining Cloud could answer, I hurriedly said, "Don't use it yet, it's important to get down to business." β
Shanyun glanced at Zhan Hu and said to me, "I'll go find a doctor tomorrow, and the better doctors in the Three Kingdoms are basically gathered here." β
I smiled and didn't say anything.
On the way to the headquarters, I noticed that there were not only soldiers and magicians in the fortress, but also small vendors of all kinds, and most of them sold consumables, weapons and armor. I asked in surprise, "Brother Shining Cloud, why are there still people selling weapons and armor in the fortress?" Can they have a business?"
"Of course, there is business, who is willing to do unprofitable business, you also know, there has been no war for hundreds of years, hundreds of years of slackness, so that the combat effectiveness of the three human countries and the reserves of war materials have been seriously weakened, and sometimes, you have to buy from these traders, which also forms a market. The most expensive ones right now are magic crystals and bows and arrows. To put it mildly, the combined combat power of our three kingdoms is really inferior to the Warcraft Alliance, and if there is no StrΓΆm Fortress, I am afraid that the Eastern Continent will fall. That is one of the reasons why I support your peace talks. β
It turned out that the situation was already so tense, which strengthened my conviction that I was ready for peace talks.
"Look, that's Command. β
Looking in the direction pointed by the flashing clouds, is this the headquarters? It looks like a castle. Compared to the Temporary Prince's Palace, it is a world of difference.
The headquarters is like the layout of the imperial palace in the Demon Imperial Capital. If it is the inner palace, then the entire fortress is the outer palace. The headquarters was surrounded by high walls and was also guarded by a large number of troops. Although you can't see the inside for a while, you can imagine the grandeur of the building.
Seeing my stunned look, Shanyun smiled and said: "Startle, I was also shocked when I first came here, and later I learned that this kind of construction has ulterior motives, even if the fortress is broken, it will definitely be able to support it for a long time with the defense power of the headquarters, and the entire fortress is very finely designed, and you will find that the fortress is not defended against the Eastern Continent, do you know why?"
First, my mind turned sharply, and I suddenly understood the joints, and said calmly: "I should be afraid of being occupied by the two clans of Warcraft." β
Shining Cloud said approvingly: "That's right, if you can have a large number of magic crystals, even if there are more Demon Beasts and two clans, you don't have to be afraid, but now it can't." Although it was purchased at a high price in the entire Eastern Continent, it was still unable to meet the needs of the fortress. β
My heart sank, it turns out that the demand for magic crystals is so great, although I still have a lot, but I can't take it out for the sake of peace talks, otherwise, once the human race gains power, how can it make peace with the demons again!
As we spoke, we walked to the moat outside the headquarters and stepped onto the drawbridge, and the soldiers around us said respectfully, "See Lord Shining Cloud." Shining Cloud unconsciously exuded an aura of commandery, and with a sigh of gratitude, he led us into the command headquarters.
Although I was mentally prepared, I was still surprised when I entered the headquarters, which were layered bunkers, and each building was made entirely of heavy granite, and in terms of defense, it was almost seamless.
Shining Cloud pointed to the huge stone house in the center and said, "That's the real headquarters, and you have to go there to discuss any important situation." My father rested in the stone chamber over there. β
There were eight soldiers guarding the door of the stone chamber where the prince was resting, and Shining Cloud was the first to walk over and ask, "Is my father here?"
The guard at the head replied respectfully, "His Royal Highness is here, and Lord Thundercloud is also there. β
Zhan Hu said in surprise: "Big brother is also here, great." Let's get inside. With that, he rushed in first, and since we were here with Shining Cloud, the guards didn't stop him.
Shining Cloud pulled me and said, "Let's go, let's go in too." Look at you, the eldest brother, such a big person, and still like a child. β
The stone house is very simplely furnished, with only a large bed, a desk, a few chairs, and a four-meter dragon spear hanging diagonally on the wall. The tall figure of Brother Zhan Hu blocked my view and prevented me from seeing the Prince's face, but I found the burly man beside him. This person is actually a few points taller than a two-meter war tiger, with wide shoulders and a wide back, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wearing a black samurai robe and a long sword hanging from his waist. With sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, he looks extremely powerful, and I understand that this person is definitely a tiger general on the battlefield. I don't need to be introduced to recognize him from his similar appearance, he should be the big brother of the war tiger - Thundercloud.
