"I dare not speak for other Wildhammer dwarves, but I can speak for all the Wildhammer dwarves of Eagle Nest Mountain!" Mezdra said.
"You are..." Yulin Blood Eagle became more energetic.
"Lord Mezdra Creep." Mezdra smiled and said, "We have met before."
Of course Yulin Blood Eagle knew that they had met before, but it had been such a long time and he couldn't remember their names.
However, he still saluted and introduced himself: "Baron Yulin Blood Eagle, nice to meet you."
No matter what happens in the future, you will always be a good friend of the Wildhammer dwarves, Mezdra said with a smile.
"Are you willing to sign an agreement with us?" Yulin Blood Eagle asked.
"I don't want your good friend to become an enemy!" Mezdra said.
"We don't have much time, why don't we go inside and talk in detail?" Yulin Blood Eagle asked.
"I agree, I don't want my griffon knights who have finally been trained to die inexplicably and tragically." Mezdra said and walked towards the stone house.
Yulin Blood Eagle turned around and asked someone to get some fruits, wine and Xuntran's map, and hurriedly followed after arriving at the stone house.
…
In the stone house, in the middle of a large table, there is a map of the entire territory of Xutlan. Sitting on stone benches at both ends of the table, Yulin Blood Eagle and the dwarf Lord Mezdra are eating and talking.
"The fruit wine of your elves is too light and not as good as the ale of our dwarves!" Mezdra said.
Yulin Blood Eagle took a sip of Sun Spring Wine and said with a smile: "This stuff is much more expensive than your oatmeal beer in the human kingdom."
"Humans don't appreciate that." Mezdra said dissatisfied: "What's so good about this kind of sweet and sour juice?"
"If there is a chance, I will brew a high-altitude wine in Queldanis in the future, the kind that will make your throat burst into flames as soon as you drink it." Yulin Blood Eagle said with a smile: "I will make you drunk every day.
No gryphon."
"Queldenis? Where is Queldenis? Where can I find this kind of wine?" Mezdra asked with bright eyes.
"Here!" Yulin Blood Eagle laughed and said, "I just changed its name. Xingsaro will no longer be called Xingsaro from now on, and will be renamed Queldanis City. The Elvish language means "city of peaks".
Don’t you think it’s vivid? Now, why don’t we just drink and negotiate on the top of the mountain?”
"It's too random for you to change the name of the city," Mezdra said with a smile: "But it sounds much better than Xingsaro. At least when you hear Quel'danis, you will know that it is the territory of your elves. I will say this every day from now on.
Is there any good wine to drink?"
"The premise is that you agree to the conditions we just discussed!" Yulin Blood Eagle said with a smile.
"Agree, why don't you agree?" Mezdra put the plate in his hand on Xuntran's map and said, "This land is mine!"
The Yulin Blood Eagle took a closer look and found that it was the Eagle's Nest Mountain and its surrounding areas that included the Griffin's activity range.
He nodded, picked up the plate in front of him, stood up and clicked it towards the northwest of the map, then pushed the plate in front of Mezdra, touched the plate to the plate Mezdra held, and said:
"I'll even give you this land! But in addition to sharing the griffins with us and helping us train griffin knights, you also have to send some craftsmen and blacksmiths to Queldanis to help us build a city and make armor and weapons."
Once these two plates are placed, they take up 1/3 of the Hinterlands map.
"What about your territory?" Mezdra asked.
Yulin Blood Eagle picked up the knife, put it down at the mouth of the Xingsaro Valley and said: "This valley and the seaside plain are mine!"
Mezdra looked at it and saw that his territory was much larger than that of Yulin Blood Eagle, so he said, "You only want such a small amount of space?"
He drew a big circle in the middle area of Xintland with his warm finger and asked: "Do you want the area that accounts for more than half of Xuntalan?"
Yulin Blood Eagle sighed and said: "The trolls are the earliest residents of Xutlan, so people must have a place to live! Do we have to kill them all?"
Mezdra sat back on the stone bench, took a sip of wine and said: "There are not enough manpower, so it is useless to ask for so many places."
He pushed away the plate that the Yulin Blood Eagle held against him and said, "I don't want this place anymore. I can't defend it. But those trolls are really a troublesome thing. They always come to steal the griffin's eggs to eat."
."
"Well, this is a problem!" Yulin Blood Eagle nodded and said.
It would be impossible not to pay attention to this matter. Now the gryphon has half of him. He thought for a while, picked up the knife and drew a horizontal line on the map with north and south as the line. He said: "The evil branch trolls are all in the east.
and the south will be under my jurisdiction from now on. What about the deadwood trolls in the west and north, and will be under your control from now on?"
"Okay! But I'm seriously short of manpower right now. I have to send someone back to Grim Batol to bring someone over. The Evil Branch Trolls have suffered heavy losses recently due to your defeat, and they are now in a hurry to collect food for the winter. I'm afraid they will do it again.
Come here and steal the griffin's eggs to eat. I hope you can send some people over to help me guard them, and wait until I can recruit more people." Mezdra said.
"Okay! I will send 100 rangers over there to help you with the garrison. I will also ask you to help train them into gryphon knights."
Yulin Blood Eagle picked up the small water cup, placed it in front of a small lake in the northwest and said: "In the future, I hope to build a Queldanis cabin here. Oh, that's wrong, it is a long-term camp. To facilitate timely contact with you in the future.
, and I also hope that you will also establish a station here."
"We will not build a garrison. We will just live in your city of Queldenis! First, we can help you build the city, and secondly, we can help guard Queldenis." Mezdra said.
"When will you go back and bring people here?" Yulin Blood Eagle asked.
"Send someone when you get back. When will you send someone there?" Mezdra asked.
In fact, there are many factors why Mezdra agreed to Yulin Blood Eagle's conditions so easily. Yulin Blood Eagle is right, their most fatal weakness now is the lack of people. And Mezdra really wants to use the power of elves to
It's better to protect the griffins, and having an ally in Xuntran isn't a bad thing. At least it will be easier to deal with the trolls.
"It can take three days as fast as possible, or seven or eight days as slow as possible. I have to choose some trustworthy people to go there!" Yulin Blood Eagle said with a smile.
"Okay! Let's sign the agreement now!" Mezdra said: "I sign in the name of the lord, what about you?"
"I want Dennis's identity as the city lord, otherwise it won't be enough. In this way, no matter whether the city lord is changed or not, this agreement must be abided by." Yulin Blood Eagle thought for a while and said.
"That makes sense!" Mezdra smiled.
The two signed the agreement and waited until everything was done.
"Do you have enough reason to call back the royal city elites now? Can you catch up after being out for so long?" Mezdra asked with some worry.
"Okay, you can rest assured. I'll call you back right away." Yulin Blood Eagle wrote a few words on a piece of paper with a pen, rolled up the paper, walked to the window and blew a whistle.
After a while, a white owl flew in and landed on the window edge.
The Yulin Blood Eagle put the note into a small sleeve on the eagle's talon and whispered a few words to the owl.
The owl fluttered its wings and flew away in a few clicks. The Yulin Blood Eagle turned back and said with a smile: "Can one run faster on the ground than fly in the sky?"
Mezdra's hanging heart was finally relieved, and he said happily: "You will always be Mezdra's best friend!"
Yulin Blood Eagle smiled bitterly and said: "This friend of yours may be in trouble soon."
"Why? Oh...is it this agreement...?" Mezdra stopped talking.
He felt that the agreement signed by Yulin Blood Eagle seemed to be very detrimental to Quel'Thalas. Because if everything was as Yulin Blood Eagle said, then Quel'Thalas had deployed so much manpower and material resources.
But he could only get half of the gryphons. But there were only a few dozen people on his side who came in midway, but he got half of them. He felt that he was blushing.
"Okay! It's not all because of this. I didn't have any good impressions of those people who came from the royal city. Besides, I'm very happy to have a friend like you. Whatever the case, you'd better transfer them as soon as possible.
Come on! I may have many projects in the future that need your help to complete."
Yulin Blood Eagle said: "By the way, do you know where there is iron ore in Xutlan? I have to buy some weapons myself to feel at ease, just in case those nobles of Quel'Thalas get angry with me and embargo me.
It really gives me a headache.”
When Mezdra heard the question, he felt that he had to do something to make up for him. He took away all the things on the map, looked at it carefully for a while, and then recalled the results of the inspections in Xutlan over the years.
Finally, he shook his head and said, "Xuntlan doesn't produce much iron ore. The main metal produced here is gold."
"Gold?" Yulin Blood Eagle asked in surprise: "Where is gold produced?"
His eyes immediately sparkled with gold.
"What's wrong with you? Why are your eyes so weird?" Mezdra said.
"No, it's nothing! Tell me where the gold is produced? I'll dig it... no... let's dig it together." Yulin Blood Eagle was a little embarrassed, but his anxious meaning was clearly expressed.
"Don't you want iron ore?" Mezdra couldn't turn his head around for a while, and didn't understand why this elf friend was hoeing and shoveling in such a mess.
"If there is a gold mine, of course the gold mine will be given priority!" Yulin Blood Eagle said.
"Oh!" Mezdra didn't care, and after roughly recalling it, he said: "The main gold-producing area should be the southern part of Xutlan, on both sides of the river that flows into the sea. However, there are a lot of gold near this river.
There are evil branch trolls gathered. Now go dig, maybe our defense strength is insufficient."
Yulin Blood Eagle looked at the map carefully and couldn't help but feel discouraged. Isn't this the river that separates the Seradan Valley controlled by the green dragon forces from the main area of Xutlan? The waterfall from the source to the mouth of the sea
, there is an ancient troll city ruins at both ends, and in the middle are three evil branch troll camps.
These three camps are Troll Camps No. 1 to 3, which Yulin Blood Eagle couldn’t remember their specific names. Since a large number of Evil Branch Trolls were driven out of Xingsaro, they are now Queldanis.
There are more trolls in these camps. With his current ability, it is impossible for him to go there to mine gold mines without hesitation. That would be a prelude to death.
