Although every time Dreadwake approaches a big city, it will basically cause a commotion and alert, but the commotion caused by Stormwind City this time is the largest that Aaron has seen in these days.
Not only did the guards on the city wall quickly switch to a defensive posture and control the giant crossbows on the city wall to point at Dreadwake, the knights in the city also quickly gathered and galloped towards Dreadwake. Their reaction speed was so fast that everyone on Dreadwake was stunned.
In order to avoid any misunderstanding, everyone on the boat quickly disembarked and waited in front of Dreadwake for the arrival of the team of knights. The messenger of Stormwind City and the members of the human Church of the Holy Light also flew their respective flags.
"Stormwind City's reaction speed is so fast now. It's worthy of a city that has just been rebuilt." Aaron said with emotion as he looked at the knights who were getting closer.
Liadrin on the side heard his words but turned to look at him, pointed at Dreadwake and said, "I think your ship will only get such treatment wherever it goes. Who allowed you to install so many artillery pieces on the ship?"
"Ahem, isn't that to enhance self-defense capabilities?" Aaron coughed lightly, but he also realized in his heart that it was naturally different from Dreadwake, which only had four cannons on the ship before. Just having more than a dozen cannons extending out of the porthole on one side of the ship was enough for anyone to increase their vigilance.
At this time, Lordaeron's messenger also completed negotiations with the knights sent by Stormwind City. The other party quickly sent a signal to the city. The tense atmosphere on the city wall immediately dissipated, and everyone felt more at ease. After all, not everyone can remain calm when being pointed at by several giant crossbows.
"It turns out that this is the messenger from Lordaeron. My king is in the city at the moment. I would like to ask your envoy to follow me into the city." The leader of the knights was respectfully called the Duke by the messenger Lordaeron. It seems that he should be Stormwind City People with high status in E, even such big shots are personally responsible for the defense work of Stormwind City, which is enough to show the seriousness of the security work of this city that has only recently completed part of the reconstruction work.
"Then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty the Duke, but..." Lordaeron's messenger looked back at Dreadwake and asked, "I wonder if Your Majesty the Duke can arrange a parking place for this ship. If it parks here, it may affect traffic."
The Duke raised his head and glanced at the Dreadwake suspended in the air, and said with emotion, "I didn't expect that the northern countries have even built warships that can fly in the air. Our Kingdom of Stormwind seems a bit out of date... This ship should be able to stop in the water, right? Then please drive this ship to Valley of Heroes. The lake there should be enough to stop this ship."
Aaron has no objection to this. Although bringing the ship in is equivalent to putting Dreadwake under Stormwind City's complete surveillance, since Aaron has no ill intentions towards Stormwind City, there is no need to worry about what will happen. Stormwind City and others cannot go crazy and destroy the ship.
"Then please keep an eye on your own war horses." Aaron reminded, and controlled Dreadwake to fly slowly along the main road towards the city gate, causing the pedestrians on the road to look at this large ship that could fly in the air.
Even many of the knights sent by Stormwind City paid too much attention to Dreadwake, causing their reactions to slow down and fail to keep up with the others. They were severely reprimanded by the Duke.
Stormwind City's city gate is taller than the city walls on both sides. In addition to the two huge iron-clad wooden doors that have been opened, there is also a steel fence gate hanging high above the city gate. I think when the war comes, it can be lowered to block incoming enemies.
After entering the gate, there is a wide stone road built above a small lake.
At the end of the road is the inner gate of Stormwind City. Although that gate is not as powerful as the outer city gate, the inner gate is preceded by a solid barrier built of rocks, and the road leading into the gate passes around the barrier. Although this barrier causes some trouble for residents entering and exiting the city, if there is an enemy invasion, it can also prevent the enemy from directly attacking the inner gate along the main road.
There is a long and narrow valley between the two city gates. Below the valley is a small clear lake. This valley is the famous Valley of Heroes.
During the process of rebuilding Stormwind City, news came that five heroes led the army to break through Dark Portal and severed contact with Azeroth. Varian, who succeeded to the throne, ordered the craftsmen to build statues here to commemorate the five heroes.
Entering this road from the outer city gate, you can see two white stone statues standing on both sides of the road. On the left side are a bearded dwarf holding a war hammer and a human mage with a fluttering beard. On the right side are a human Warrior carrying a war sword and a High Elf ranger with an eagle on his shoulder.
These four people are Wildhammer Dwarves Kurdran·Wildhammer, Stromgarde royal branch Danath·Trollbane, Dalaran master Khadgar and Alleria·Windrunner.
At the end of the main road is the statue of Turalyon, the supreme commander of the Dark Portal expedition, who succeeded Anduin·Lothar as the marshal of the Alliance army. He holds in his hand Holding a broken sword, it was the sword that was broken in the duel between Lothar and Orgrim, symbolizing that Turalyon took over the will of Lothar and became the guardian of the Alliance.
"Oh, I don't know if I can see this guy Kurdran again." Falstad stood under the statue of Kurdran, looking up at the faces of his compatriots, and sighed.
This is not the first time that Falstad has seen this statue. Falstad came once before when the statue was completed and personally wrote an inscription for the statue of Kurdran.
Vereesa was looking at the statue of Alleria in a trance. This was the first time she saw the statue of her eldest sister, and she was a little moved by the scene. Just as Aaron and When Liadrin wanted to step forward to comfort her, Vereesa turned to look at the other statues, showed a naughty smile, and said, "Fortunately, sister, this statue is not as old as the others, otherwise she would be angry when she comes back."
"So... it's true." Aaron also agrees with Vereesa's idea. The three statues except Alleria all look a bit old, especially the statue of Khadgar, which looks more like an eighty-year-old mage.
However, Khadgar is only in his twenties and less than thirty years old now. He is just aging prematurely because his life force was absorbed by Medivh. Maybe he should cry when he sees this statue of his grandpa.
"Okay, guests, please follow me into the city." After everyone had seen it, the Duke of Stormwind City urged them to hurry up and enter the city.
