Chapter 168: Reciprocation, or Threat?
"There are no impermeable walls in the world, King Jean, the Wall of Greymane can stop travelers who want to go to Gilneis, or refugees from the north, but they can't stop cavemen who can burrow into the ground, and gargoyles who can fly, let alone psychics and lich teleportation."
Jiang Zai shook his head lightly: "As for the dangerous move that Archmage Arugao wants to make, I think you'd better ask Speaker Antonidas how Archmage your's research went many years ago, and that 'Book of your' is still not in Dalaran's library!" ”
The Book of your!
Hearing this unfamiliar word, Jean hurriedly looked at Antonidas, and a gleam appeared in the eyes of the legendary archmage: "I've only heard of your research, and I don't know much about it...... Nicholas, I think we should talk about it when we have time. ”
"There's going to be a chance, Speaker. I'm very interested in the magical city that has stood for more than 2,000 years. Jiang Zai nodded with a smile, and then looked at Jean: "Lordaeron wants to get Gilnes's help, I think at least Darius. Lord Crowley will be willing to fight for the people of his realm! ”
Crowley!
This family is very important in the Kingdom of Gilneis, basically equivalent to the position of the Barov family in the Kingdom of Alterac, and the towns of Ambermere and Burning Wood in the southern part of the Silver Pine Forest are its territory. After the construction of the Wall of Greymane, the family's control over the realm had dropped too much.
Jiang Zai believes that Darius. Lord Crowley will definitely be willing to lead elite soldiers to protect his territory and the people of his territory!
For that lord, Ambermere and Burning Wood Village could not be given up easily, unless he was willing to give up the glory of his ancestors and his current status, and give up the name of the second family of the Kingdom of Gilneth!
Barov will cooperate with Kel'thugad because of the seizure of the fief, intending to subvert the Lordaeron Kingdom, so the Crore family, who have lost the largest fief, may also have some unknown thoughts in their hearts!
As soon as he heard Jiang Zheng's words, Jean's eyes lit up!
That's a great proposition!
He doesn't need to use the power of the Gilneth Peninsula, he just needs to get the Crowley family to come forward!
In this way, not only will he have an explanation for Lordaeron, but it will not damage the overall strength of the Kingdom of Gilney, anyway, the territory north of the Wall of Greymane, he has long planned to give up, and for this reason, he has also cooperated with Darius. The lord of Crowley had a dispute, and even a spy reported that Darius. Lord Crowley is very unhappy with him!
In that case, let the lord leave Gilneth and let him go and fight the undead!
Whether he lives or dies, Gilneth doesn't care!
"Well, the Kingdom of Gilneth has agreed! Baron Sivalen, of the castle in the north of Burning Wood Village, will also help you! The treacherous and cunning King Jean was afraid that Jiang Zheng would regret it, so he immediately agreed.
Jiang Zai chuckled.
This is already a very good result, at least with Darius. Lord Crowley and Baron Sivalenne have teamed up to stabilize the situation in the Silver Pine Forest and ensure that the harvest of the Silver Pine Forest will not be affected. Now that crops cannot be grown in the Eastern and Western Plaguelands and Tirisfa Territory, the limited farmland of the Silver Pine Forest is crucial!
Afterwards, Jiang Zai set his eyes on Furstad Brute Hammer, the Great Lord of Eagle's Nest Mountain: "The Brute Hammer Dwarves sent troops to help Lordaeron at the first time, and I'm sorry for the death of Lord Kurtaz and dozens of griffin knights. But I think Lordaeron's sincerity is also very strong: the soldiers of Icewind Hill cleared the undead of Remorse Ridge and ensured the safety of the Poison Mist Canyon, didn't they? But the undead in the Western Plague Land are still there, and the troops of Icewind Gang are insufficient, so I don't know if I can withstand the next wave of attacks, so you should plan early! ”
Poison Mist Canyon is a secret passage from the Western Plaguelands to Hinterland, with the exit near Remorse Ridge on one side and the Eagle's Nest Mountain on the other.
This secret passage has always been known only to the Brute Hammer Dwarves, and even the Barov family, which is very close to Keldaron Island, has been operating for thousands of years, but unfortunately, Jiang Zao knows.
If this secret passage is leaked and known to the Scourge Legion, if tens of thousands, if even more of the undead pour into Eagle's Nest Mountain from there......
The consequences are unimaginable!
"Poison Mist Canyon! How do you know that channel? Well, hopefully the secret rots in your heart! The Hammer Dwarves have expressed their friendship with Lordaeron, and more Griffon Knights will continue to maintain that friendship, and the revenge of Kurtaz and the other Griffon Knights must be avenged! ”
Lord Furstad was very decisive and resolute, and nodded for the first time: "The griffin knight troops of Eagle's Nest Mountain will help Lordaeron destroy the undead in the Western Plague Lands, in fact, we have been doing this all along. ”
"May the friendship between Lordaeron and the Hammer Dwarves endure, High Lord." Jiang Zai admired the great lord's decisiveness, so he smiled and bent down slightly: "I have another request: I hope that the Eagle's Nest Mountain can train more griffons for Lordaeron and open up flying spots in the main towns. This way, communication and support will be easier. Of course, Lordaeron will pay you a sum of money. ”
"Of course, Nicholas." Furstad nodded.
Jiang Zheng turned his head and looked at King Magni Copperbeard from Ironforge Castle, "First of all, thank you for forging the Ash Messenger and sending the Dwarven Musketeer Force to support. Lordaeron didn't have any more requests for troops, as Ironforge was too far away to deal with the threat of frost trolls. We only hope that Ironforge will be able to forge the best weapons and armor for Lordaeron, and this will be the greatest support for us! ”
"This matter, after the meeting is over, Lordaeron can send someone to Ironforge to discuss it in detail." King Copperbeard did not refuse, after all, dwarves originally liked to forge, this was not a request, it was just a transaction, and there was no harm to Ironforge Castle, only benefits.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that as a king, he couldn't easily leave Ironforge, and he even wanted to go to the front line himself and kill Arthas in exchange for his brother!
The blood of the dwarves is as famous as their spirits!
Jiang Zai nodded with a smile, and then looked at the great craftsman Gerbin Mekatok who was sitting next to the Copperbeard King: "I have heard of the magic of Nomorigen for a long time, and the technology of the dwarf is even more praised. Lordaeron needs the technical support of the gnomes, such as flying machines and high-powered bombs...... The specific transaction can be discussed in detail after the meeting. ”
This is also not a request, but a transaction, and the dwarf has no reason to refuse a deal that can bring him wealth and status, not to mention that Nomoregan, who has a low status in the Eastern Continent, does need a series of actions to improve his international status, so he naturally agreed.
And then there's Kurtilas.
