The battleship rocked under the waves, and Dalton looked back at the fleet wandering on the coast from behind the clumps of vines, feeling very uneasy that they were so far away. The Alliance's alchemy battleships dominate the seas, but they still end up stranded ashore. Why didn't the dwarves build longships that could run on land? He couldn't help but laugh at his far-fetched idea. Alchemy chariots appeared as early as the War of Dawn, and there are many war machines in the world today.
Gray-winged Bird Island is covered with dark clouds and thunderstorms surround the mountain peaks, as if the war is ending. The landing battle ended more quickly than the naval battle. The Alliance was well prepared. After crushing the Vampire fleet, they marched straight in and landed on Gray Winged Bird Island within two days. The Alliance has a firepower advantage and has three times the number of troops than the Blood Tribe. It is not unusual to achieve such results.
The night elves were glad that they did not pass through the blockade alone. Prince Drablay originally had a place, so he received assistance from various races in different aspects. This makes the blood clan's detection technology considered to be at the forefront in the entire mysterious field, and it is enough to fend off incoming intruders. Dalton found that it was impossible for him to sneak onto the island by virtue of being a "passer-by". Even the brushes here were used as candles, making it airtight.
Now, this has become the main reason for their defeat in the war. The landing battle was completely another "Battle of Alanvor". The guards on the island were just as blind as Antolet's commander at the time. Never won a battle). The price of taking a free ship is that you need to pay a ticket.
Dalton's ticket is nothing special. He participated in the Gulf War and briefly served the Alliance. Needless to say, the dangers during the period were never safe on the battlefield. He has even encountered high-level opponents, but they often pose far less threats to him than the low-level Mystic's focused fire. By the time they set foot on the island, the "Hammerhead" had been damaged to the point where it was difficult to continue sailing. Most of the people boarded the accompanying ships, and many of the wounded and prisoners who were dying were rescued as the "Hammerhead" was taken over by Captain "Medal" Rennon. ·Hetlenna was dismantled into parts and sank into the Sea of Song.
Dalton can guarantee that the core that drives the battleship has not been abandoned. The Lion Captain must have put it away quietly. Even with the wealth of the Oath Keepers Alliance, the core of the Alchemy Battleship is an expensive creation that cannot be easily discarded. In comparison, soldiers are obviously cheap goods, especially those small-scale mercenary teams.
As for the prisoners, the night elves would like as many vampires to die as possible. Playing with corpses was not his hobby. When he decided to abandon ship, it was Captain Lion who ordered that as many vampire captives be slaughtered as possible so that Dalton could obtain the heart of his enemy.
After that day, he began to understand why people resented working overtime.
"What are you doing here?" A big slap slapped him on the back, "Is there a team of vampires on the beach? I think they are probably deserters."
He shrugged and effortlessly broke away from the other's big furry hand. "Only seagulls. Nimue. And crows that eat corpses."
"I buried Hilda very deep." Nimue, the frost giant, patted her belly proudly. The membrane under the armor beat like a war drum. As a shorter race among giants, her head is as high as a two-story building. It is said that lava giants can grow as tall as towers after swallowing magma, and Nimue hates them for this. She always said those guys were under the influence of demons.
Dalton's height is almost the same as that of humans, but he doesn't have the frost giant's obsession with height. He quite liked Nimue, the big giantess. Like her kind, Nimue's body is covered with thick long blue hair, and a row of sharp ice spikes protrude from her back, extending all the way to her tailbone. Her limbs are thick and well-developed, with soft sheaths on her knuckles so that her claws can be freely retracted. The frost giant's face is human-like, but no one can distinguish her features until the blocking thick hair is shaved off. Dalton had long wondered how they could see so clearly.
In short, the frost giant Nimue is just like him. The distinctive characteristics of the race make it difficult for them to integrate into human society.
Why are you considering this? He had no need to live with humans in the first place. Nimue's life in the Oath Keepers Alliance was very comfortable. Now that the vampires have withdrawn, the alliance will also welcome the night elves. Having said that, elves like him who wander outside the group may also be called wild elves, just like the archer Hilda, who has the blood of the mist elves.
Nimue was a friend of the wild elf who sent a message for the captain. Hilda initially planned to collect her body for her, but later she discovered that Nimue was only seriously injured and unconscious. Fortunately, both parties regarded her as a corpse. The news of Nimue's survival surprised many people, and her fellow frost giants believed that it was the wild elf Hilda's keen eyesight who saved Nimue from the dead. So after Dalton negotiated with Rennon, the Lion Captain also assigned her to select the intact bodies. Dalton didn't like Hilda due to traditional dogma, but it was difficult to keep his distance from her because of the agreement.
But the wild elf died in the landing battle, and Nimue buried her instead. Although the alliance has an absolute advantage, it is still impossible to guarantee that not a single soldier will be lost in the war. Being Hilda's friend, Nimue hid her body under the soil, digging as deep as possible. She told Dalton that for every inch she dug deeper, Hilda's friendship with her would last one more day until she, too, was buried. This is the custom of warriors.
But in fact, it only brings her closer to my hometown. Dalton thought. Hilda would never like it there, and why do you keep telling me this?
Dalton was not a popular character on Hammerhead. Most of the human mercenaries have heard of the assassination in Beacon Town, and those who have not heard of it have seen wanted ones. They looked at him with either curiosity and greed, or undisguised indifference, but no one was stupid enough to show malice. The Oath Keepers Alliance is not ignorant of the battlefield. The lion captain "Medal" made an agreement with him, but Dalton still felt that he would secretly laugh at his and Ingrid's wrong story.
The only thing that comforted him was the frost giants. These big men didn't like to know the customs and rumors of Knight's Bay, and they were completely insensitive to mystery - they were used to dividing their power by size, not mystery. After all, the Frost Giants were also an inaccessible group in the Alliance Army, and Dalton valued this humble mutual recognition.
"I've been to this damn island," he said, "when it wasn't as... prosperous as it is now."
"You mean there are a lot of murlocs?" Nimue laughed loudly.
"Well, there were only gray-winged birds. I doubt we brought the gulls and crows here. There's no way they themselves would want to go to the edge of the world."
"This is still far from the edge of the world." The frost giant muttered. "My home is right at the edge of the world. There is no damn sun there."
What a coincidence, my family is the same. "Your hometown is in the snowy mountains?"
"Snowman tundra, and large glaciers." The latter doesn't seem like a place name. "I don't want to come out. It's too hot outside, but the clan leader needs us to fulfill our agreement with the alliance. I thought it would be good to go out for a walk. Hedas is from the north, and she is really good at making snowmen. What about you? To eradicate vampires? I heard you are mortal enemies."
"I come from Tinudar, the underground world. The toxins everywhere there are disgusting. So I came to Eastman on my own initiative." However, there are more toxins in the human world, but it is difficult for me to even find them. "It was just an accident to come to Knight's Bay. I don't like killing vampires. I just hope they die or never appear in front of me."
"Then you should become enemies with us. You will never see any frost giant outside the alliance in your life."
"I'm afraid this is one of the reasons why you don't have any enemies. Have you seen the lava giant, Nimue?" The alchemy warship does not have them. Is there any stupider decision than involving lava giants in a naval war? Dalton couldn't imagine it.
"No. Hilda told me the story."
"Sorry for bringing her up."
"Only humans like to hear your apology, Nathanael. The Alliance does not have so many rules. We all live according to our own habits."
"What if your habits conflict with others?"
"This is nothing new." She grunted, "Then I will still solve the problem the way the frost giants do. But, you know, there are always some mysterious races whose customs are to regulate interpersonal relationships. For example, Sita."
"I don't like them either," Dalton admitted. The Glittering Pool was the most barren place for dark elements, and he had adapted to a life surrounded by shadows and poisons. "Do you have any friends in Sita?" Lucia's followers will most likely not like frost giants.
"There will be. Maybe you will too. Hilda said that she originally thought that frost giants were big ice balls with eyes, could only walk by rolling, and would melt when they hit the sun. The most ridiculous thing is that she thought that frost giants were big ice balls with eyes. Giants reproduce asexually, creating offspring through division." Dalton almost laughed. "She didn't tell anyone this opinion until she met me and my people. Now Hilda finally had a more accurate understanding of the frost giants, and she even told me those stupid thoughts as a joke. Listen. It’s fun to see different versions of yourself from other people’s mouths. Look, now we can agree to bury each other’s bodies.”
"Then what story are you going to tell me?"
When it came to this point, Dalton also understood what Nimue meant. None of us are good at tact. He thought to himself that if Hilda were still alive, she might do better than Nimue.
The frost giant moved his feet, and his armor made a clanking sound. "Lenon Hetrenna wants you to officially join the Oath Keepers Alliance." She even revealed the person who instigated her. The Lion Captain would definitely regret sending her as a lobbyist. "That's what he thinks, not me. Take your pick, my friend."
