Chapter 47 Return to Stromgarde

The kingdom's twice-a-year nobles' meeting will begin in the middle of the year, and there will be another one around the end of the year. The specific time depends on the operation of the kingdom that year. The king will issue a summons and qualified nobles will go from their respective fiefdoms to the capital, Stromgarde, for a meeting.

Solas scheduled this meeting after Midsummer, when the wheat harvest had been completed across the kingdom and the nobles had some free time.

One day in mid-July, Garin, led by the archmage Gandalf's teleportation spell, arrived at the Road of Calling Heroes outside Stromgarde.

It's the last day, and it's the last day. Garin's words were very precise, leaving Danas, who arrived five days earlier, speechless.

In fact, Danas's worries were unnecessary. Solas was indeed in a bad mood when he returned from Dalaran, but when he saw the battle report on the desk, his expression finally turned from gloomy to bright, and he showed a relieved smile: Aiden, you old man, can your Alterac produce younger generations as outstanding as the twins of my Trollbane family?

The main reason was that Garin had not arrived yet, and Danas did not dare to look Solas in the eye, so he did not notice that there was a kind of awe-inspiring feeling in Solas' eyes when he looked at him.

During this time, Danas can do whatever he wants to a certain extent.

What a pity! Someone is too cowardly. After making a great contribution, he didn't show off while he had the amulet. He thought that his elders were in a bad mood and he didn't want to offend them, so he kept a low profile.

In fact, Garin has been following Gandalf in the past five days to experiment with summoning an army of water elements. As Gandalf's strength has reached the ninth level, the duration of the water elements has increased and the cooldown time of the summoning has been shortened.

Gandalf himself is also blessed with the glorious halo, and with the clarity potion produced by the Secret Vault, Gandalf's magic recovery speed is extremely fast, and he can summon water elements as soon as the skill cooldown is over.

Garin spent gold to buy the right to use the water element from the Heart of Origin. With thousands of units of gold, and in cooperation with Gandalf, the two were able to maintain a team of twenty water elements.

As the strength of the summoner increases, the size of the water element gradually grows larger. A ninth-level wizard is already able to summon a water element that is nearly five meters tall. The right to use the skill that Garin purchased is based on Gandalf's strength, so when the water elements summoned by the two of them approach the enemy together, it gives people a strong sense of oppression.

When Gandalf advances to legendary level, will he be able to maintain more and bigger water elements for longer?

With such beautiful expectations, Galen was teleported by Gandalf to the nearest town to Stromgarde, Bravecaller.

The Town of Calling Bravery is located just north of Stromgarde, at the end of Stromgarde's main road, Calling Bravery Road. It forms a T-junction with the Kingdom Avenue, which runs from northwest to southeast. The two avenues run through the entire town.

To the north of the Town of Calling Brave is the cliff formed by the Baldgor High Slope, and to the south is the moat of the two Stromgarde Castles. The town is the only way to Stromgarde, and its superior geographical location makes it even more prosperous.

In Garin's opinion, Call of Valor is like Goldshire in Stormwind Kingdom and Brill in Lordaeron, serving as a barrier for the capital of the kingdom. It also shares the population pressure for the capital and serves as an important transportation hub to transport various supplies to the capital.

As Gandalf's group teleportation grew in strength, the maximum distance had reached one thousand kilometers. The reason why he teleported here instead of going directly to Stromgarde was because Garin didn't want to be checked by Stromgarde's defense forces.

There is a tall tower in the southwest corner of Stromgarde. It was built during the reign of Emperor Thoradin and is named the Tower of Thoradin.

The tower was originally built as a lighthouse to guide ships in the Palatine Sea.

After the Trollbane family came to power, they converted the tower into a royal library. Later, after hiring a mage consultant in Dalaran, they converted the Tower of Thoradin into a mage tower.

Every day, at least one high-level wizard is on duty at Thoradin Tower, responsible for detecting the magic fluctuations in Stromgarde. Garin doesn't think that the high-level wizards in Stromgarde are useless, as they can't even detect the huge noise of Gandalf's mass teleportation.

When I come back this time, I will ask my father for the coordinates of the spell teleportation, so I won’t have to go through so much trouble to enter Stromgarde from Call of Valor.

Galloping on the Road to Bravery, he arrived at Stromgarde from the Town of Bravery two hours later. The first thing he did was to go straight to the castle to see his father.

Less than two months had passed since Garin left Stromgarde, but it felt like more than a year had passed. He couldn't help but sigh that war makes people grow.

When meeting Solas, Garin was not as afraid of his father as Danas was.

Garin lost his mother when he was young. While Solas was busy with government affairs, he also taught Garin carefully. The two have been together for more than ten years and have developed a deep affection and tacit understanding.

And Garin keenly noticed the smile in the corner of Solas' eyes.

Garin, who was now emboldened, began to describe in detail to his father the battle that took place a month ago. Although it was all written in the battle report, due to the limitation of words, only some simple descriptions were written about the attack of the trolls, the annihilation of 3,000 enemy troops by the Red Flame Army and the militia, and very few casualties on their side.

Garin boasted that he had not slept for three days and three nights in order to formulate the battle plan. He said that he had thought of twenty or thirty plans, from showing weakness to luring the enemy deep into the territory, to the dispatch of troops, to terrain survey, the possible reaction of the trolls, and the emergency situation where Danas could not arrive in time. He took all of them into consideration.

Looking at Garen boasting with a beaming face, as if he was in control of a plan, with a feather fan and a scarf, and the trolls were reduced to ashes while chatting and laughing, Solas smiled like an old father.

Garin didn't know that Amor had already submitted the detailed battle process to Solas, otherwise he would never have exaggerated his own contribution so much, which was too embarrassing.

Solas did not expose Garin. Looking at Garin's energetic appearance reminded him of the glorious days when he was young and fighting against trolls.

The scene of loving father and filial son continued until noon. The father and son enjoyed lunch together. Solas reminded them of some precautions for tomorrow's noble meeting and let Garin go back to rest.

Garin had never participated in the kingdom's noble meetings. Although he was the king's only son and the most legitimate heir, he was not yet an adult and was not qualified to attend the noble meetings.

Now Solas made an exception and allowed him to lead the army alone, and he had made military achievements not long ago. With some private operations of Solas, Garin's deeds have become known to the whole kingdom.

With military power in hand, ability and the ability to win battles, Garin has already initially acquired the strength to be recognized by the nobles.

Solas has already begun paving the way for Garin, and plans to train him for a few more years. When Garin comes of age, he will gradually give him some important tasks and allow him to enter the center of power in the kingdom.
