I have a shop in Azeroth

Aerie Peak is the home of most Wildhammer dwarves. It is a city located on the hillside of a giant peak. The Wildhammer dwarves originally lived in Grim Batol Castle at the junction of Lok Morvan and the Wetlands.

But later, Prince Thaurissan of the Dark Iron Dwarves sent his wizard wife Modgud to attack Grim Batol. The Wildhammer Dwarves eventually defeated the Dark Iron Dwarf army and killed Modgud in conjunction with the Bronzebeard Dwarves of Ironforge.

However, the magic Modgud cast before his death corrupted the land, leaving an evil blemish on the fortress.

The Wildhammer dwarves then realized that their homeland was no longer habitable, so they headed north to establish their new home, Aerie Peak, in the Hinterlands.

After this, the griffins living in the Hinterlands began to become one of the symbols of the Wildhammer dwarves. They learned griffin riding here, but they did not treat them roughly as mounts and pets. Instead, they got along with the griffins on an equal footing. This was one of the manifestations of the Wildhammer dwarves' respect for nature.

Because of this, the Griffins are also extremely loyal to the Dwarves. In this situation, the Griffin Riders of the Wildhammer Dwarves are quite powerful. In the air, Harpies, Dragons, and even Goblin airships are no match for them.

As Wu Yue walked along the streets of Eagle's Nest Mountain, he could see griffins descending from the battlements of the dwarves and the cliffs of their buildings, landing in their nests. The dwarf leading the way saw Wu Yue's curiosity and said with a smile:

"New to you, isn't it, young man."

Although Wu Yue came to the peace talks as the leader of a city, in the eyes of the old dwarf, he was just a child, although in a sense that was true.

Soon they arrived at the castle of Eagle's Nest Mountain. The dwarf who led the way said something to the dwarf soldiers guarding the door, and they let Wu Yue and the others in. The castle was divided into three floors.

Kurdran Wildhammer, the current High Lord of the Wildhammer clan, was handling some affairs of the Wildhammer dwarves on the third floor, but at this moment, the door of the room was knocked and then opened. Although the dwarves had very hot tempers, they still maintained respect when facing their high lord.

"Lord Kurdran, the leader of the newly built city, wishes to have a friendly meeting with you."

"That City"

Kurdran Wildhammer sat in the chair and spoke as usual, but his voice was so loud that it seemed to shatter Wu Yue's ears.

"It's the city where trolls and humans live together. Also, I found those strange trolls. The leader said they were trolls from their city."

The dwarf unconsciously raised his voice and spoke slowly to Kurdlan. It seemed that he also hoped that Eagle's Nest Mountain would have a friend rather than an enemy, so he added some more information.

Kurdran had heard his scouts report the city's information before. After receiving the information, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. He first said to the dwarf:

"Thank you for your hard work. Now you can go back to your place."

The dwarf nodded, turned and walked out of the room. Only then did Kurdlan look at Wu Yue, the young human, and slowly stood up from the chair.

"Come on, young man. This is not the place to discuss an alliance. Let's have a good talk in the reception room on the second floor."

Kurdlan walked out of the room and Wu Yue followed him. While walking, Kurdlan seemed to talk to himself.

"In the past, there were many trolls in your city, and it was one of the main places where we had disputes. But since you came and built the city, our conflicts there have become very few."

Kurdlan had already reached the second floor. Although he was a dwarf, his speed was not slow.

"Because we haven't figured out where you are right now. We don't even know where you came from. The same goes for those damned trolls. I've sent many scouts to your city, and even sent many griffon knights to investigate your city, but other than the fact that your residents are trolls and humans, they haven't been able to bring me any more information."

At this time, Kurdlan opened the door of the reception room, walked to his seat, and then sat down. At this time, he was full of the majesty of a leader.

"Well, human leader of the city, if you wish to get along with us in a friendly manner, could you first tell us some information about yourself?"

Wu Yue looked at Kurdlan. He was not nervous at this moment. Although his momentum seemed not as good as Kurdlan's, he just sat down in the seat opposite Kurdlan and spoke.

"If we have to say where we come from, we should be from the Kingdom of Alterac.

Kurdlan was a little confused at this time. In his impression, there shouldn't be so many trolls in Alterac. Although Wu Yue's trolls and the trolls in Sinterland were no different in appearance, the trolls of each tribe in Sinterland had some customs, such as the Evil Branch Tribe, who liked to drink blood.

Wu Yue's trolls seemed to be a brand new tribe. More importantly, his scouts did not tell him that there were several thousand trolls being mobilized from the three troll tribes in Sinterland.

"There shouldn't be so many trolls in Alterac."

"They are not trolls from Alterac. They are a group of trolls that migrated from other areas and came to the Hinterlands with us."

Wu Yue lied here to conceal the existence of the system. He knew that Kurdlan would not easily believe it, but in this case, this reason was enough.

Sure enough, Kurdlan did not ask about the origin of the trolls, and both sides rationally ignored the issue of military strength. Kurdlan asked Wu Yue another question.

"How did you get here? We are guarding the only mountain pass in the Hinterlands, and there are quite a few of you. It is impossible for us to be unnoticed."

"There's always a way. Whether it's a goblin airship or a ferry, the Hinterlands isn't a monolithic entity."

After Wu Yue answered this question, Kurdlan asked the last question.

"How will you prove that you can control all the trolls under your command?"

"time"

Wu Yue stared at Kurdlan confidently and said

"No matter how much I say now, you won't believe it, and my trolls will use time to tell you that they will obey my orders."

Kurdlan looked at Wu Yue. What worried him most was that this young human Wu Yue would not be able to control all the people under his command, but now it seemed that he was very confident about this.

“I have no problem anymore.”

“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”

Wu Yue stretched out his hand

"I hope our cooperation will last a long time, young leader, and we will have a happy cooperation."

Kurdran also extended his hand

................................................

Next, Wu Yue discussed some matters concerning their relationship with Kurdlan, and Kurdlan discovered some things during the conversation with Wu Yue.

"Young man, your name is Wu Yue, right? You don't seem to have any experience in handling government affairs."

Wu Yue no longer used the name Gabriel Davis, but returned to the name Wu Yue. Now he has the confidence to say his original name.

"Indeed not. Routine government affairs are handled by the leaders of their respective races."

The harpies have the Harpy Queen, the trolls have the Troll Leader, the High-level Loa Priests and the Shadow Hunters, and even the affairs of the bandits are handled by the bandit chief. Normally, people of all races appear for their own reasons, so there are almost no conflicts between them.

"It seems that the generals under your command trust you very much, or they are together because of you."

Although Kurdlan Wildhammer didn't know Wu Yue, he could infer some things from Wu Yue's words.

“They really trust me.”

Every one of Wu Yue's soldiers will be loyal to him from the moment they appear until death takes their lives.

Kurdlan looked at Wu Yue. This straightforward dwarf was silent for a moment.

"Young man, your soldiers trust you very much, but in my opinion, you have not fulfilled your responsibilities as a leader."

Kurdran's words suddenly became serious

"As a leader, you don't understand a group of soldiers who are willing to entrust their lives to your decisions. You should be leading them, but instead you're leaving all the problems to your generals. Judging by the fact that you're still their lord, at least most of your generals are very loyal to you. But please tell me, if this order exists with or without you, then what is the role of a leader?"

"Lordship is not about power, but responsibility. Young man, you have the intelligence and talent to be a leader, but you don't understand this most basic responsibility."

Wu Yue fell silent after hearing this. He knew that what Kurdlan said was right. He could treat his enemies cruelly, but those people, those beings summoned by him, would sacrifice their lives for him with just one word from him, including Bettina and Evans.

"Okay, young man, I've said enough today. No matter what, I hope our friendship can continue."

After saying this, Kurdlan left. Wu Yue, led by the dwarf soldiers at the door, began to visit Eagle's Nest Mountain, but his mind was not on this.

He was still confused until he walked out of Eagle's Nest Mountain.

"Evans, are you there?"

Evans appeared from the shadows and stood next to Wu Yue. Wu Yue asked

"Do you think what he said is true?"

Evans knew that Wu Yue was a little sad, so he hugged Wu Yue first, then thought about Wu Yue's question seriously, nodded and said directly

“Very correct”

Wu Yue was stunned again, but laughed after a moment. He laughed happily, then hugged Evans and slowly let go.

"Thank you, and Bettina. Okay, let's strive to become a qualified leader starting tomorrow. Let's go back."

Taking big strides, Wu Yue, the confused Evans, and the bandit group that had followed them for some unknown period of time returned to Mengshi City.
