5. Persuasion: Longkou Rescue

The admiral did not want to lose his son, he did not want to be a coward, and the king did not want to abandon his prince. This is all human nature.

This sentence made the madly paddling knight suddenly stop what he was doing. He gritted his teeth, looked at his master, and finally put the oar into the hand of another knight next to him, and sighed.

Voice said:

"I'm going to rescue His Royal Highness, Knight Waycrest, and escort His Majesty to Nanhai Town!"

"I swear on my life!"

Another great knight patted his chest hard, and then watched his colleagues jump into the cold water and swim back towards the three ships that were being ravaged by dragon fire.

"well..."

The admiral looked at Cyrus, who was facing hell alone. His expression changed. After a few seconds, he reached out and took off his soaked cloak. He looked at the last knight, the navy

A look of determination appeared in the commander's eyes:

"Knight Waycrest...if I can't come back, I will go back and tell the queen that her husband has not brought shame to the people of Kul Tiran!"

"Tell my little Gianna again that her father is a hero."

"A captain will never abandon his ship and crew... I am Daelin Proudmoore, and I am not a coward who would abandon his son and loyal subordinates to escape."

"Shua"

He jumped into the sea and swam towards the burning battleship. The last knight had no time to stop him. Seeing that his lord was about to return to the battlefield, the knight gritted his teeth, pulled out the sailor sword in his arms, and jumped in.

Sea.

"There are no cowards in the Waycrest family! Your Majesty, it is an honor to jump into hell with you today!"

On the sea with dragon fire flying, these are actually three warriors, three warriors, and three fools, aren't they?

—————————————

At the port of Nanhai Town, everyone stared blankly at the three warships that were burned by the dragon's flames in the strong wind. General Gavin Rad roared crazily, asking the sailors of Nanhai Town to find all available warships.

ship, rushing to rescue His Majesty King Daelin of Kul Tiras who was trapped in the disaster.

The seven human kingdoms finally united under the threat of orcs. If the alliance's naval commander, His Majesty Dai Lin, dies on the sea in Nanhai Town... it will be an outright disaster.

Tyrion calmly watched the horrifying scene in front of him, memories and fragments of the present life echoing back and forth in front of his eyes. After a moment, he turned his head and whispered to the ranger captain beside him:

"Selente, go see how our wounded are doing..."

The Ranger Captain subconsciously pointed to the sea:

"But Captain Tyrion, the King of Men is still..."

"Dai Lin will not die here!"

Tyrion closed his eyes slightly and said softly: "I know! His fate is not here...and fate is not something we mortals should consider. Now, go and see our wounded!"

"Tyrion!"

A deep voice sounded behind him. Lor'themar Theron pulled out an unused arrow from the ground. He looked at Tyrion:

"I would like to ask you to come with me to save the human king...His Royal Highness the Prince told me to maintain the relationship with the human alliance. You have also seen that it is just a young dragon. If you and I join forces..."

"I reject..."

Tyrion said without looking back:

"I'm not here for you, Lor'themar. I'm here for the soldiers of the Windrunner family. They don't deserve to die here. As for the instructions, your prince's instructions are for you and have nothing to do with me."

With just one sentence, the already stagnant atmosphere between the two became even worse, even tit-for-tat.

Both of these are celebrities among the younger generation of rangers in Quel'Thalas.

Tyrion is famous because during the war against the Amani trolls five years ago, he and his mentor, General Lyresa, captured the Amani chief Zul'jin alive and blinded one of his eyes with his own hands.

In recent years, Lor'themar has repeatedly defeated the counterattacks of the Amani trolls on the battlefield of Eversong Forest in Quel'Thalas, and has also made great achievements.

Unlike the low-key Tyrion, Lor'themar likes to wear red chain mail that is different from other rangers, and he has long been favored by the prince of Quel'Thalas, the next Sun King Kael'thas.

Treat each other with eyes.

Well, the last point is more important. Lor'themar is a close confidant of the princelings, while Tyrion stands unequivocally on the side of his adoptive mother, the Windrunner family. This is a family that has only been loyal to the current Sun King for generations.

In addition to political reasons, Tyrion also knew the tragic ending of the future of Prince Kael'thas, so from the beginning, he stayed away from things related to Kael'thas.

"That is also your prince! He will be the king you serve in the future! Tyrion, and I don't understand that His Highness the Prince has praised your achievements in public many times!"

A cold light flashed in Lor'themar's eyes, and he whispered:

"He admires you very much. He even hopes that you can inherit the position of Ranger General in the future and help him build a more dynamic Quel'Rathras, but you have repeatedly turned a blind eye to this!"

"Yes, he asked me personally, and I rejected him! So it seems that he finally chose you, right?"

Tyrion looked back at Lor'themar, and his sharp words pierced Lor'themar's heart like a knife:

"If I guess correctly, you will soon be promoted to Ranger Lord, and then step by step, you will win the general position of the Windrunner family for your prince. It seems that your prince is very restless, Lor'themar! You want to know me

Why did you reject him?"

"It's very simple, his thinking is very naive! He doesn't know why King Anastarian keeps a distance from humans... And I want to say that the Human Seven Kingdoms Alliance and Quel'Thalas should not be born.

stand together!"

Seeing that Lor'themar was about to refute, Tyrion waved his hand to interrupt his persuasion:

"I have no intention of discussing elven politics with you on human land. I just want to tell you clearly, don't interfere in the war between humans and orcs! That will not be good for Quel'Thalas!"

"As for you, and the position of Ranger General..."

Tyrion glanced at Lor'themar, then withdrew his gaze:

"Except for the Windrunners who have bled and sacrificed for Quel'Thalas for generations, no one is worthy of that position!"

Tyrion said an unkind word and turned around to leave, but Lor'themar's figure moved forward quickly on the ground and quickly stopped in front of Tyrion. He took a deep breath:

"We won't say anything else, but you and I have to deal with that baby dragon!"

"Why?"

Tyrion's fingers touched the handle of the knife at his waist, and a dangerous light flashed out of his eyes:

"Are you trying to threaten me? Lor'themar? It seems that the lessons learned four years ago have not taught you a thing..."

"Wait! Listen to me!"

Lor'themar took a step back and said in a deep voice:

"Alleria Windrunner, General Lilesa's eldest daughter, is also your nominal sister. One month ago, she ignored the Sun King's order and secretly brought the guards of the Windrunner family to support mankind.

war, and she returned to Dalaran in the past two days to ask for His Highness's help. She and His Highness have the same idea, and she believes that Quel'Thalas should join this war."

"She is her, and I am me! Just because she decides to do that, doesn't mean I have to do that too!"

Tyrion threw out a sentence, but the change in his eyes was observed by Lor'themar, who felt a glimmer of hope and lowered his voice:

"Of course, I am not threatening you with Alleria, but I think you should also know that General Lilesa's physical condition is not optimistic, and the candidate for the next ranger general may be decided within the next few years.

In your opinion, who is the most suitable for that position?"

"Alleria, right! I know that you and her have had a very good relationship since childhood, and you hope that she will become the next Ranger General... What I want to say is, I hope so too!"

"I will explain to His Highness the Prince that I will voluntarily give up my pursuit of the position of Ranger General. In return, you will help me save King Dailin!"

"Um?"

Tyrion raised his head suddenly, and after confirming that Lor'themar was not joking, he asked:

"Why do you do this? You don't look like such a great person."

Lor'themar stretched out his hand to straighten the Phoenix emblem on his chest, and said calmly:

"Unlike you who are selfish, Tyrion, I am willing to make sacrifices for the sake of the prince and the future career of Quel'Thalas, and I admit that you are right. In Quel'Thalas, there is no one better than Windrunner.

The family is more suitable for the position of general... I am also a disciple of General Lilesa, don’t forget."

"It seems that you are loyal to your prince, Lor'themar, but do you think you know me well? What makes you think I will agree to this?"

Tyrion looked at Lor'themar coldly and asked disdainfully, which made Lor'themar unable to refute. However, after a few seconds, Tyrion breathed a sigh of relief, his tense face relaxed, and he took it off with his backhand.

He picked up the war bow behind his back and looked at the young dragon raging on the sea in the distance.

During this special period, the history of orcs and dragons was rolling in his mind, and Tyrion said in a deep voice:

"So what are you going to do? Just run into the dragon fire and save people?"

Lor'themar was a little confused by this reversal of attitude, but after a moment, his eyes fell on the sea in the distance. The situation there was already not optimistic:

"I'll lure it away, and you and the soldiers will find His Majesty Dai Lin and his son..."

"That's too reckless! Even the dragon breath of the young dragon is not something you, a mere ranger captain, can deal with! It only needs to turn its head, and you will be burned to ashes. There are also those orcs on the ship, they are extremely powerful,

More savage than trolls, we have no advantage in close combat."

Tyrion shook his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at the young dragon hovering in the low altitude. Just as he remembered, this was a red dragon, a red dragon that had been enslaved in a clumsy way. In the eyes of the ranger,

A flash of light flashed:

"We have to use the ranger method to solve the problem. Arrows cannot penetrate dragon scales, but the orcs who control the dragon are only flesh and blood. Listen to the miserable roar of the young dragon. It attacks humans not voluntarily.

But they were manipulated by orcs!"

"We don't need to save Dai Lin at all, we just need to give freedom to the young dragon... That's enough!"

Tyrion dodged and jumped into the wooden boat. He turned to the anxious but helpless General Gavin Rudd on the shore and shouted loudly:

"Human general, find some sailors and send us there... to save your king."
