If Lordaeron sends an envoy to Stormwind City according to Aaron's idea, it will be a major event between the two countries. Not to mention sending a hundred-member envoy group, how can Terenas prepare a large ship with royal style and carry the envoys holding the credentials written by Terenas himself to go to Stormwind City in a mighty way.
But when it was time to actually set off, Aaron realized how wrong he was: except for a few idlers in the entire envoy group, the total number of envoys sent by Lordaeron was only less than ten people.
And for the sake of convenience and speed, the means of transportation used by the envoy group this time was actually Dreadwake owned by Aaron. Aaron doubted that Terenas would agree to follow the courier to Stormwind City, with the intention of borrowing his own Dreadwake to transport the courier.
Apart from the messenger and his two escorts, the remaining members of this mini-mission are Paladin and Priest who are going to report to Archbishop Alonsus, and there are two who have just reached Order of the Silver Hand's entry standards, Paladin's attendants who are preparing to go to Stormwind City to participate in Paladin's promotion ceremony, and the entire envoy to Aaron feel like delivering letters is an incidental task.
In addition to these men sent by Stormwind City, there are several characters on the deck of Dreadwake who have nothing to do with this incident:
Aerie Peak Highlord Falstad said that he would take this opportunity to see the newly built Stormwind City. Master craftsman Sicco Thermaplugg said that he was going to help repair the Stormwind City subway. Silvermoon City Church of the Holy Light's Priest Liadrin made a plan to visit Paladin's promotion ceremony.
"I just felt like something was wrong." Aaron looked at the people running around on the deck and said to Vereesa beside him, "After all, there are only three people doing business, and the rest are all irrelevant people."
However, Vereesa thinks this is normal, and doesn't think there is anything wrong with so many people going to Stormwind City in the name of a messenger. "Just treat them as if they are traveling a long way and keep company."
"Aaron boy, your ship flies so slowly, can't it go faster?" Falstad didn't know when he walked next to Aaron, and this Wildhammer Dwarves Following his griffon mount, Falstad, who had become accustomed to the flying speed of the gryphon, seemed to be dissatisfied with the flying speed of Dreadwake: "It will be several days until we reach Stormwind City."
"The speed of this ship is already fast enough. The merchant ship we took in the past took a week to travel this way." At this time, Stormwind City's official messenger also came over. This person seemed to be very familiar with this journey and was very interested. Lai Huan told Aaron and the others about his previous experiences of going to Stormwind City, which attracted several other people on the ship to join in. After all, life at sea is still a bit boring, and it is rare to have something to kill time.
Aaron vaguely remembered that this person had said his name, but because he had no memory of the name, he forgot about it after hearing it. He just cāo) controlled Dreadwake to fly south and said a few words from time to time.
After four days of long flight, Dreadwake has crossed the Redridge Mountains remnant to the south of Dun Morogh, and can already see Stormwind City standing among the mountains. The Lordaeron messenger pointed to a section of the coast and said, "Look, that's the port of Stormwind City over there, but it hasn't been repaired yet."
Stormwind City The part near this section of the coast still seems to be in a state of ruins, and it seems that it has not yet been repaired. The coastline is dotted with ruins of ruined buildings and burned trestles. In the shallow sea near the coast, you can still vaguely see several sunken ships. There are also floating objects scattered here who do not know how long ago on the slightly filthy sea. At first glance, this sea area looks like a garbage dump.
"This is the Stormwind City port? It seems that there is no way to dock at all." Vereesa frowned and looked at the sea below Dreadwake, turned to look at the Lordaeron messenger, and asked, "Didn't you say that Stormwind City has been rebuilt?"
"The main part has indeed been rebuilt." Lordaeron messenger stretched out his hand and pointed to the area behind the coastline, where you can vaguely see some buildings with white walls and blue roofs, and you can also vaguely see the spiers of several tall buildings, shining blue in the sunlight. "When I came last time, several major urban areas were rebuilt, and the rest are just some insignificant areas."
"Is Harbor District considered irrelevant?" Vereesa asked in confusion.
"For Kingdom of Stormwind, the port really doesn't matter." The messenger spread his hands and explained to Vereesa, "Before Orcs invaded, Kingdom of Stormwind had very little contact with the northern countries, and many people didn't even know that such a country existed in the south."
While others were chatting, Aaron had already controlled Dreadwake and flew over the Harbor District that had no signs of reconstruction. He was not surprised at all. After all, he was in the game. In the game, it was not until Lich King became angry that the port of Stormwind City was opened to players. Before that, Stormwind City had always been a fortress-type city with no port although it was close to the sea.
According to Aaron's understanding, Stormwind City has the idea of rebuilding the port. After all, no matter how closed Kingdom of Stormwind was before, it has now joined Alliance, and the carrying capacity of the subway connecting Stormwind City and Ironforge is somewhat small. It is still necessary to re-establish the shipping connection between Stormwind City and the north.
Unfortunately, before Stormwind City started rebuilding Harbor District, Stonemasons' Guild, who was responsible for rebuilding Stormwind City, went on strike and quit due to unpaid wages and other issues, and went to Westfall to start his own business. Stormwind City's port reconstruction plan has been delayed.
As Dreadwake bypassed the mountains southwest of Harbor District and Stormwind City, everyone also came to the front of Stormwind City and saw the rebuilt Stormwind City gate and the towering city wall built based on the mountain terrain.
Different from the miniature city in the game that Aaron is familiar with, the real Stormwind City wall is more majestic. The city wall made of white boulders is about tens of meters high. The city wall is dotted with circular sentry towers. Fully armored Stormwind City guards can be seen everywhere in the sentry towers and on the city wall, loyally sticking to their posts.
As Dreadwake appeared in the sight of the Stormwind City guards, the sound of an alarm bell came from the sentry tower on the city wall. Along with the sound of the bell, the Stormwind City soldiers on the city wall quickly switched from patrolling to on-site defense. Several giant crossbows built on the city wall quickly changed their direction and aimed at Dreadwake.
"The situation seems a bit not good." Upon seeing this, Aaron immediately stopped Dreadwake and did not dare to make any changes, lest it be regarded as a danger signal by Stormwind City's soldiers.
It seems that after being forced to leave home after being captured by Orcs, Stormwind City re-established a defense system that responded much faster than Lordaeron. Not long after, a group of elite knights under the banner of Stormwind City walked out in neat steps along the road in front of Stormwind City's door.
