[Chapter 131 The Elites in Hearthglen]

“Jaina? What is she doing here?”

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

Taelan did not know that his father was thinking about what impact this change would have on him, and thought that Tirion Fording’s words were asking him, so he answered honestly: “Jaina Proudmoore heard that we were fighting the Scourge in Hearthglen, so she came to check the situation on behalf of Dalaran.”

“Is that so!” Tirion Fording turned his head and looked at David. Both of them felt that things might not be so simple: “It just so happens that I am going to gather everyone to discuss some things, so please invite Proudmoore to join us!”

“Okay, father!” Taelan did not need to ask who should be invited to the meeting. He was very clear about the current situation in Hearthglen. If his father wanted to make any military deployment or action, those people who could not be avoided anyway must be notified.

In addition, there was Jaina Proudmoore, the representative of Dalaran who had just arrived in Hearthglen.

After Tyran left, Fording looked at David and said, “Things are starting to change.”

“Sooner or later, this will happen.”

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

In other words, in the original plot, Hearthglen was a city that fell under the Scourge earlier than Stratholme. Later, Tyran Fording joined the remaining Knights of the Silver Hand and took Hearthglen back from the hands of the undead and used it as the base of the Scarlet Crusade.

Now, with Fording’s various operations, Hearthglen has escaped. When Jaina and Arthas investigated, they just passed by Hearthglen and found that there was no outbreak of plague here, so they went to other places.

The subsequent development is not much different from the “original history”, with the outbreak of plague in Stratholme, Arthas ordering the massacre of the city, Uther being dismissed, Jaina leaving in disappointment, and so on.

According to the original history, Jaina would return to the wizard city of Dalaran, and get the hint from the “prophet”, lead some of the survivors of Lordaeron, take the warship of Kul Tiras to Kalimdor, and face her key battle as a hero: the Battle of Mount Hyjal.

In other words, according to the original development, Jaina would not come to Hearthglen after returning to Dalaran.

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 Medivh, the previous guardian of Azeroth.

Jaina suddenly came to Hearthglen. Was there any guidance from this prophet? What does this prophet think of Fording’s behavior?

“I can’t think of an answer here, let’s go see Miss Proudmoore!” Fording waved his hand, motioning David and others to follow him: “By the way, I will introduce you to my colleagues in Hearthglen.”

Following Fording out of the office, they soon walked to a huge conference room.

While walking in the corridor, several people saw the interior of the fortress of Lower Azeroth.

David saw this dark environment with little light, and suddenly felt that it was a very correct choice not to choose a castle as his residence.

“In terms of comfort, ‘modern architecture’ is definitely better.” This is also the reason why Laura agreed with the design plan. She didn’t want to live in a huge, dark castle.

When they arrived at the conference room, there were already several knights in armor waiting here. Fording immediately introduced them.

“This is Alexandros Mograine, and this is Alfred Abidis.”

The first two knights who were introduced to David were tall knights wearing heavy armor. When he heard the names of these two people, David understood why they were introduced first.

At present, the composition of the Knights of the Silver Hand in Hearthglen is quite complicated: there is a part that was originally stationed in Hearthglen and obeyed Tyran Fording. This part is also Fording’s old subordinates and is the easiest for Tirion Fording to mobilize and command.

A part came from the defeated soldiers in various regions of East Wilde, mainly the part originally led by Uther. They lost their commander and were willing to obey old Fording after defecting to Hearthglen. There was no trouble in mobilizing them.

Another group came to Hearthglen led by other commanders of the Knights of the Silver Hand, including the knights led by Alexandros Mograine and Alfred Abidis.

“This is the commander from Ironforge, Berim Goldhammer.”

The biggest help for Fording to defend Hearthglen was not Alfred Abidis and Alexandros Mograine, but the help from the dwarves of Ironforge.

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

While the introduction was going on, people came to the meeting room one after another, and Fording introduced everyone to David step by step.

Including the priest Isellien, who was responsible for teaching Tyran the Way of the Light when Tirion Fording was not in Hearthglen; Mograine’s chief advisor Fairbanks;

Alexandros Mograine’s sons Renor Mograine and Darion Mograine, Alfred Abidis’ daughter Bridget Abidis, and others.

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

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

“This is Baron David Glamorgan. After learning about my situation, he came to help.” When introducing David to everyone, Fording did not explain his origins, but emphasized that David came to help because of his personal friendship with him.

Although they didn’t know where David was from, everyone present welcomed David for being willing to help under such circumstances.

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

“Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite. The Scourge is the mortal enemy of all living beings. I just did what a living person should do.”

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

After talking, Fording began to discuss the main business with everyone, which was to fight out of Hearthglen and launch a counterattack against the Scourge.

To David’s surprise, all the commanders present actually agreed.

In the eyes of these paladins, after stabilizing the defense line of Hearthglen and resisting the impact of the Scourge, launching a counterattack was a natural thing.

These knights did not have the idea of staying in Hearthglen and waiting for a favorable opportunity to counterattack.

Alfred Abidis and Alexandros Mograine even expressed their intention to kill Arthas and kill the Kingslayer who betrayed the Kingdom of Lordaeron and its people, and pay the price for everything they did.

David was stunned watching from the side, and deeply felt how incompatible he was with this group of paladins. It seemed that he could not be a paladin, not just because he was not strong enough.

When Fording discussed the battle plan with several commanders, David did not interrupt, but just listened quietly. Even if someone asked for his opinion, he would only modestly say that he was not very proficient in combat and would just listen to everyone’s arrangements.

When Fording, Mograine, Abidis and Berim-Goldenhammer, several commanders, began to discuss the specific details, David directly withdrew, and then he felt someone next to him kicking his heel lightly.

Turning back, he found that it was Laura, but Laura winked at him, asking him to pay attention to Jaina not far away: “The mermaid has been looking at you since just now.”

“Maybe she is doubting my origin?”

David glanced at Jaina, and happened to meet her eyes.

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

At this time, the four commanders were still discussing the details, especially when they fought out of Hearthglen to counterattack and clear out the Scourge, which route should they take? How to determine Arthas’ current position? Should they first clear out the surrounding Scourge undead, and then encircle Arthas? Or should they rush to Arthas and kill the culprit first? Then turn around and clean up the undead in the kingdom?

Several people needed to discuss for a while before reaching a consensus. At this time, Bridget Abidis was also discussing similar issues with Tyran Fording and Mograine’s two sons, expressing their opinions in a small circle.

David and his group gathered in another small circle. Jaina stood alone and walked towards David and his group.

“Hello, I’m Jaina Proudmoore, a mage.” “

Nice to meet you, Proudmoore Mage.” The other party did not mention the daughter of the Kul Tiras leader, but only mentioned her identity as a mage, so David called her a mage.

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

“I’m from Winter Town.” David saw Jaina frowning, as if wondering where Winter Town was, so he added: “It’s a very remote town, it’s normal that you haven’t heard of it.”

Jaina nodded, and then chatted with David.

At this moment, in a place that no one could see, a blond dwarf was pounding on an invisible wall, shouting loudly: “Let me in!!!”
