Of the five early Yuan paladins, Tirion Fordring is the most reclusive.
With his status, qualifications and meritorious service, he will be able to live a pampered life after the war.
But to everyone's surprise, after the war, the paladin chose to give up all honors and returned to his hometown to live an ordinary life.
Many people expressed admiration for his personal choice to retreat bravely. However, there were also some who expressed dissatisfaction with this, such as his former comrades-in-arms.
He obviously has powerful abilities, but he chooses to disarm and return to work. In their eyes, this seems like he is evading responsibility.
Only Fording himself knows that the foreign enemies have been defeated and the world has restored peace. If there is any conflict after that, it will just be a power struggle within the alliance, and he has no interest in this.
Fording will only fight as a paladin when he thinks he needs to stand up, such as now.
One of the reasons that made him come forward was his young son Taylan Fordring, who was still babbling. In his son's heart, his father was the greatest warrior.
Fording does not expect his son to have a high status in the future, but he hopes that Tyran will understand what is the right thing to do.
In this way, Tirion Fordring once again put on his armor, picked up his warhammer, came to Ironforge, and stood in front of everyone.
Regardless of strength, qualifications or character, Fording is even more convincing than Chen Stormstout. Krasus happily welcomed Fording to join, and the unsuccessful adventurers did not complain.
Li De lamented that because of his design, not only did Chen Stormstout, the master of wine, appear on the stage of history early, but he also shocked Fording, who was already in silence.
With the joining of these two people, the plan to rescue Alexstrasza can now be said to be almost certain.
As the saying goes, heroes cherish each other, and Li De was having a lively conversation with the two of them at the moment. Krasus also did not neglect the adventurers who were not selected, and agreed to give each of them a robe with red dragon magic.
Although it is not as good as the dragon's blessing, this shirt also contains considerable life magic. After wearing it, people will become more energetic, and it can provide huge assistance whether in battle or adventure.
It can be seen that in order to rescue the queen, the Red Dragon Legion really spent a lot of money. The dragon's magic products were originally hard to find, but this time they gave away hundreds of them at once!
The adventurers were all satisfied. In the following adventures, they could be said to have gained both fame and fortune. Brian Bronzebeard personally took charge, and in the subsequent rescue operations, he served as the adventurers' commander and took overall control.
Guerrilla warfare against the area around Grim Batol.
Brian is the founder of the Adventurers Association, and everyone recognizes him as the commander.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
Before setting off, what Li De was most concerned about was the issue of command within the team. Although Blackmore was of low character, he still had abilities.
He actually pointed out a very important issue before, that is, if a team cannot achieve unified command, it is likely that the operation will fail because each team goes their own way.
Tirion Fordring and Chen Stormstout were both very upright. After some conversations and friendly discussions, they felt that although Li De was inferior to them in terms of strength, he had a very high level of tactical command and agreed to recommend him as their leader.
team leader.
The problem lies with the other two people in the team. Li De has actually roughly guessed the two candidates chosen by Crassus.
Although the young mage will have great achievements in the future, at the moment he is just an impulsive boy. Because of his reckless character and often rebellious behavior, he once killed his companions on missions.
Because of this, he was also ostracized by Dalaran.
If such a thorn cannot be properly treated, it will become a hidden danger in the team.
But in Krasus's words, it seemed that he was quite high in praise of his chosen candidate, and even said that the other party would not come to Ironforge, but would only join them before entering the Northron Highlands.
This made Li De even more dissatisfied. It would have been the same extremely risky plan that Krasus had set before. He, a lone ranger, could be as unorganized as he wanted.
But now there are three heroes gathered here, as well as the Alliance Army, the Wildhammer Griffin Knights, the Adventurer Guerrillas... With so many troops cooperating and setting up such a grand scene, what are you going to do with such a big show?
However, just when Li De and the others had prepared everything and set off from the main entrance of Ironforge, he realized that he seemed to have thought wrong.
Because from the other end of the road, a young man ran over carelessly.
This man was wearing a golden and purple robe, had medium-length brown hair, and a mustache on his chin. It was obvious that he was a young man who loved beauty.
The other party saw Krasus among the others at a glance, and took the initiative to greet him and asked breathlessly.
"Teacher Crassus, am I not late?"
"Just right, Luo Ning."
Krasus said with a smile while introducing Li De and the others.
"This is the fourth warrior I selected, Dalaran mage Luo Ning. He is too young and has a bit of a reckless personality. I hope you can teach him more."
"He is the fourth warrior?!"
Li De pointed at Luo Ning and asked in disbelief. Before, he thought that the arrogant warrior Krasus mentioned would be Luo Ning, but now it seems that he was wrong.
However, in Krasus' view, Li De was expressing his distrust of Luo Ning.
"Although this boy's strength is not satisfactory, he has huge potential, and he is actually very brave and has a simple and sincere character.
I'm sorry that apart from you, I really can't find anyone who has both strength and morals that I can trust, so I can only choose him who lacks a lot in strength.
To be honest, although I am very optimistic about him, I am really afraid that he is not qualified for this task. On the contrary, Chromie emphasized to me that I must bring this guy with me..."
Chromie, who was following Krasus, made faces at Li De and hit Ronin on the head with the staff in his hand.
"Little Guitou, I tried my best to get you in this time against everyone's objections. Except for you, everyone else is an amazing hero. Don't embarrass me."
Luo Ning hurriedly patted his chest and expressed.
"Don't worry, I will never let Mr. Crassus down! When everyone disliked me, it was the teacher who agreed to let me be his apprentice!
I came on this mission with the determination to die!"
Li De's facial features were twisted together. Does this guy have no emotional intelligence? Does he have to be so depressed when he speaks? Tirion Fordring was at a loss to laugh or cry. Only Chen Stormstout laughed and patted Luo Ning on the shoulder.
"This guy is so funny. The Sa family quite likes him."
At this moment, three more people walked over from the side of the road, two were Wildhammer dwarves, and one was a female high elf ranger.
Seeing the female high elf, Li De immediately concluded that she should be the fifth person. However, when the other party spoke, Li De was confused again.
"Luo Ning, why did you have to run so fast? Your Majesty Crassus, I have sent you here according to your entrustment."
At the same time, the two Wildhammer knights following her also explained that because Ironforge is the city of the Bronzebeard dwarves, to show respect they only landed the griffin in the Liquor Village and walked the rest of the way.
.
Crassus thanked him warmly.
"Thank you, Vereesa, you have worked hard along the way and helped me take care of this trouble."
Vereesa just shook her head gently and said nothing, while still standing there without moving.
"Vereesa? The people have been sent to you. You can go back."
Krasus looked at Vereesa strangely and said, unexpectedly, the other party's answer was beyond Krassus' expectations.
"No, Your Majesty Crassus, I will also go on adventures with Luo Ning."
"How is this possible? I explained it before when I asked you in the Kirin Tor. All you need to do is escort Ronin here. You don't need to follow him the rest of the way."
Faced with Krasus's doubts, Vereesa narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"I'm sorry, it was Prince Kael'thas you asked for at that time, and I was just traveling with the prince. I don't need to obey the orders of the Kirin Tor.
During the time I spent with Luo Ning, I was also very interested in the adventure he talked about and wanted to follow along."
Hearing what Vereesa said, Crassus suddenly felt a headache and glared at the innocent-looking Ronin fiercely.
It's all because this guy is not very popular at the same time. Not only is he unable to get to Ironforge, but no one in Dalaran wants to see him, and no one is willing to send him here.
This resulted in him having no choice but to ask the newly appointed Kirin Tor Magister: Elf Prince Kael'thas.
Unexpectedly, Kael'thas didn't want this burden either, so he left him to Vereesa who snuck out with him!
The most irritating thing is that this guy has such an important mission but he still doesn’t forget to pick up girls! I don’t know what tricks he used along the way, but he actually coaxed this elf ranger into willing to follow him!
Li De is the only one outside the situation. Could it be that Vereesa is not the fifth person?
"Good day, General Vereesa. Our operation this time is very important. We must move in unison. I'm afraid it may be inconvenient for you to move with us.
And it seems that the high elves cannot leave Quel'Thalas without an order to dispatch them. If you sneak out like this, General Sylvanas will be worried, right?"
As the team leader, Li De could only try to persuade Vereesa to retreat.
Vereesa, Alleria, and Sylvanas are known as the three Windrunner sisters, and she is the youngest sister. Li De does not want to offend any of these three.
Moreover, the relationship between men and women in a team is most likely to cause problems. It is enough to have an unstable factor like Luo Ning. If the two of them occasionally have a little temper, how can he have time to settle the lawsuit between them?!
"Ah, it's Protector Li De. I still remember you. I came out this time to find my eldest sister. Turalyon and you must be friends, right? I came out to take my sister back and teach her a lesson.
Turalyon the bastard!"
Li De didn't believe a word of Vereesa's words. For an old aunt who is more than a thousand years old, please stop pretending to be an innocent little girl, okay? And she has no intention of looking for Alleria? She is obviously greedy outside.
Play in a state where you don’t want to go home!
Seeing that Li De's lips were tightly closed and he would not accept her approach, Veresa could only change her strategy.
"I won't hold you back when I act with you. This guy Luo Ning has to be protected by me. Besides, I don't think anyone in your team is good at long-range attacks, right?"
As she spoke, Vereesa neatly took off the magic bow from her back, turned around beautifully and shot a magic arrow towards the opposite mountain wall.
"boom!"
After an explosion, the arrow blasted a deep pit the size of a plate on the rock wall.
"How about it?"
Looking at Vereesa who was showing off proudly, Li De and others began to think deeply. Looking at Luo Ning's still cloudy eyes, everyone knew that he was by no means a good mage, and he was definitely not good at long-range attacks.
It is difficult to provide effective support to everyone.
From this point of view, Vereesa is really a good fighter.
Even Crassus hesitated. All he was worried about was that someone was greedy for the demon soul, but Vereesa didn't seem like a person with such evil intentions.
Thinking of this, he pulled Luo Ning aside.
"Tell me the truth, where are you and Vereesa?"
The instructor's question was so sudden that Luo Ning felt a little shy.
"Ah...we are just ordinary friends."
Crassus was going crazy. Who the hell asked you this? He had no choice but to go to Li De.
"You know what I'm worried about. After arriving at Grim Batol, it's up to you to decide how to proceed. You have the power to expel anyone from the team.
And another person who will join you will also take you with him. And I believe that seeing that person, Vereesa will naturally not stay in the team. It’s really time for us to set off now, there is no time
Let’s continue the nonsense here.”
Li De understood that Crassus had tacitly agreed to follow Vereesa and set off together, but at the same time he became more curious, who was the mysterious true fifth person?
