Age of Empires From Scratch

"Gianna? What is she doing here?"

Not only David was puzzled, but even Fording didn't understand why this Dalaran mage from Kul Tiras came to Hearthglen.

Tai Lan didn't know that his father was thinking about what impact this change would have on his side. He thought that Tirion Fordring's words were asking himself, so he answered honestly: "Jianna Proud Mage Demore heard that we were fighting the Scourge in Hearthglen, so he came to check on the situation on behalf of Dalaran."

"That's right!" Tirion Fordring turned his head and glanced at David, both of them felt that the matter might not be that simple: "Just in time, I'm going to invite everyone to discuss some things, so I invite Master Proudmoore to join us Bar!"

"Okay, father!" Tai Lan didn't need to ask who should be invited to the meeting. He was very clear about the current situation in Hearth Valley. If his father wanted to carry out any military deployment or action, those people could not be avoided anyway. , that must be notified.

In addition, Jaina Proudmoore, the representative of Dalaran, who just came to Hearthglen.

After Tailan left, Fording looked at David: "It's starting to change."

"Sooner or later it happens."

According to the original plot, Jaina and Alsace initially investigated the plague incident in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and the first city they went to during their investigation was actually Hearthglen.

In other words, in the original plot, Hearthglen was a city that fell under natural disasters earlier than Stratholme. Later, Tylan Fording gathered the remaining Knights of the Silver Hand and took back the fireplace from the hands of the undead. Valley, and serve as the base of the Scarlet Crusade.

Now, with Fording's various operations, Hearth Valley escaped unharmed. Jaina and Alsace just passed by Hearth Valley when investigating, and found that there was no plague outbreak here before heading to other places.

The subsequent development is no different from the "original history". The Stratholme plague broke out, Arthas ordered the massacre of the city, Uther was dismissed from his post, Jaina left in disappointment, and so on.

According to the original history, Jaina will return to the mage city of Dalaran, and will be prompted by the "prophet". She will lead some survivors of Lordaeron to Kalimdor on the warship of Kul Tiras, and welcome A key battle for myself as a hero: the Battle of Mount Hyjal.

In other words, according to the original development, Jaina will not come to Hearthglen after she returns to Dara.

In addition, what Fording and David value most is the 'prophet'.

Others don't know, but these two know that this so-called prophet is actually the last guardian of Azeroth, Medivh.

Jaina suddenly came to Hearthglen, is there any guidance from this prophet? Does the prophet have any thoughts on Fording's actions?

"I can't think of an answer here, so go and meet that Miss Proudmoore!" Fording waved his hands, motioning for David and others to come with him: "By the way, I'll also introduce you to my colleagues in Hearthglen .”

Following Fording to leave the office, they quickly walked to a huge meeting room.

While walking through the corridor, several people saw the inside of the fortress of Lower Azeroth.

Seeing this dark environment with no light, David suddenly felt that it was a very correct choice not to choose the castle as his residence.

"In terms of comfort, 'modern architecture' is definitely better." This is why Laura agreed with the design plan, and she didn't want to live in a huge, dark castle.

When I came to the meeting room, several knights in armor were already waiting here, and Fording immediately introduced them.

"This is Alexandros Mograine and this is Alfred Abidis."

The first to introduce to David were two tall knights in heavy armor. When he heard the names of these two, David understood why he introduced these two first.

The current composition of the Knights of the Silver Hand in Hearthglen is quite complicated: there is a part that was originally stationed in Hearthglen and took orders from Tyran Fordring. This part is also Fording's old subordinate, and it is the easiest for Tirion Fordring to transfer command of.

Some of them came from the broken troops in various regions of East Weald, mainly the part led by Uther. They lost their commanders, and they were willing to take orders from Old Fording after defecting to Hearthglen. It was nothing to mobilize Trouble.

There are also some who came to Hearth Valley led by other commanders of the Knights of the Silver Hand, including the knights led by Alexandros Mograine and Alfred Abedis .

"This is the commander of Ironforge, Burim-Goldhammer."

To say that Fording was able to defend Hearth Valley, the biggest help was not Alfred Abedis and Alexandros Mograine, but the help from the dwarves of Ironforge.

Not only provided a large number of artillery, the dwarves also sent elite gunners and musketeers to directly participate in the defense of Hearthglen. The commander of these dwarf troops is the dwarf commander in front of him.

During the introduction, people came to the conference room one after another, and Fording introduced everyone to David step by step.

Including Cleric Isenlien, who was responsible for teaching the way of the Holy Light to Tyran when Tirion Fordring was not in Hearthglen; Mograine's chief advisor Fairbanks;

Alexandros Mograine's son Reno Mograine and Darian Mograine, Alfred Abedis's daughter Bridget Abedis and many more.

And Jaina Proudmoore who suddenly came to Hearth Valley, the leader of Kul Tiras, the daughter of Alliance Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, and the Kirin Tor mage from Dalaran.

Just at this time, Calia Menethil, the only surviving member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, also arrived.

"This is Baron David Glamorgan. After learning about the situation here, he came here to help." When introducing David to everyone, Fording did not explain his origin, but emphasized that David was because of being with himself. My personal friendship is here to help.

Although he didn't know where David was from the baron, he was willing to help in this situation, and everyone present welcomed David.

Calia Menethil even expressed her gratitude to David in the name of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

"Your Highness, you don't have to be so polite. The Scourge is the mortal enemy of all the living. I just did what a living person should do."

David's response made everyone present feel good. They felt that although the Baron of Glamorgan was not a member of the Knights of the Silver Hand, judging from his performance, he was definitely an excellent follower of the Holy Light...

After the gossip was over, Fording began to discuss the business with everyone, which was the plan to get out of Hearth Valley and launch a counterattack against the Scourge.

To David's surprise, all the commanders present agreed.

In the eyes of these paladins, after securing the Hearthglen defense line and resisting the impact of the Scourge, launching a counterattack is a matter of course.

These knights have no idea of ​​sticking to Hearthglen and waiting for an opportune time to fight back.

Alfred Abidis and Alexandros Mograine even stated that they wanted to go to Alsace and kill the King Slayer who had betrayed the kingdom and people of Lordaeron. Pay for everything you do.

David was dumbfounded as he watched from the side, deeply feeling how out of place he was with this group of paladins. It seemed that he couldn't be a paladin not only because of his lack of physical strength.

When Fording was discussing the battle plan with several commanders, David didn't intervene, but just listened quietly. Even if someone asked him for his opinion, he would only humbly express that he was not very proficient in combat. Listen to everyone can be arranged.

When the commanders of Fording, Mograine, Abedis, and Burim-Golden Hammer began to discuss the specific details, David even retreated directly, and then he felt a light kick from someone beside him. Get off your heels.

Turning around, he found that it was Laura, but Laura gave him a wink, making him pay attention to Jaina who was not far away: "The daughter of the sea, I have been looking at you since just now."

"Maybe you are doubting my origin?"

David glanced at Jaina, just in time to meet her gaze.

Seeing this, Jaina no longer hid aside and observed secretly, but walked over generously.

At this time, the four commanders are still discussing the details, especially which route should they take when they go out of Hearth Valley to counterattack and clear the Scourge? How to judge the current position of Alsace? Is it to clear the surrounding undead from natural disasters first, and then encircle and suppress Alsace? Or should he kill Alsace in one go and kill the culprit first? Then turn around and clean up the undead in the kingdom?

Several people need to discuss for a while before reaching a consensus. At this time, Bridget Abedis is also discussing similar issues with Tylan Fording and Mograine's two sons, and published in the small circle own opinion.

David and the others gathered to form another small circle, and Jaina stood alone, walking towards David and the others at this time.

"Hi, I'm Jaina Proudmoore, a mage."

"Nice to meet you, Mage Proudmoore." The other party didn't mention the daughter of the leader of Kul Tiras, but only mentioned his status as a mage, and David called her a mage.

"Just call me Jaina." Jaina looked at David curiously: "Where is Baron Glamorgan from?"

"I'm from Cold Winter Town." Seeing Jaina frowning, David seemed to be thinking about where Cold Winter Town is, so he added: "It's a very remote town, and it's normal that I haven't heard of it. "

Jaina nodded, and then chatted with David without saying a word.

And at this moment, out of sight of everyone, a blond dwarf was frantically beating an invisible wall, shouting loudly: "Let me in!!!"
