Chapter 63 A Grand Welcome

The ancient walls of Stromgarde have also been renovated and raised. At the same time, a large number of towers and defense facilities have been built on the walls.

The narrow dirt road in front of the moat has also become an exquisite marble bridge.

Marshal Oslet led the great architect Barons Alexston and others to welcome the return of Galen and the Stromgarde militia in front of the gate of Stromgarde.

"Prince..." Marshal Oslet originally did not want Galen to send troops to Hillsbrad Foothills. Even though Galen had broken through to the hero level, it was still not enough compared to the Scourge. The Kingdom of Lordaeron once had the largest army and the largest hero in the Alliance, but it was still...

With the sudden death of the old king Thoras Trollbane, the Trollbane family only had Galen as the heir. Danath Trollbane, the only one who was qualified to inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Stormgarde, was still far away in Outland and his life and death were unknown.

Once Galen was in trouble, the Kingdom of Stormgarde, which had just been revitalized, would inevitably fall into civil strife due to the lack of an heir to the Trollbane family.

Now Garin has returned and accomplished a series of feats.

In particular, he defeated Shadra, the spider god of the forest trolls, and won the title of God Slayer.

The Trollbane family already had the title of Troll Slayer, and now Garin has elevated this title to God Slayer.

Garin's heart was extremely warm to the old marshal who was worried about him, so he said, "I'm safe, right, Oslet."

"That's right, Prince." Marshal Oslet's eyes were a little tearful. He saw a greater light in Garin than the old King Thoras Trollbane.

Marshal Oslet sighed and urged, "Come into the city quickly, Prince. Your people are waiting to witness the return of their great leader. The new palace will only be meaningful when you move in."

"Yes."

The population of the Kingdom of Stormgarde has exceeded one million through the addition of refugees and the return of exiles. Although Stromgarde has not been rebuilt yet, most of the people live in various parts of Arathi Highlands. However, when they heard that their Garin had returned, they came to Stromgarde to witness their leader Garin Trollbane with their own eyes.

Garin adjusted his posture and did not take off his plate armor, because he was a warrior king. Instead of changing into a luxurious robe, it is better to tell all his people directly with his current posture that their leader is powerful.

After adjusting, Garin walked into the city of Stromgarde with his head held high and his chest held high.

Like a sea of ​​people, residents gathered on both sides of the road. The Stromgarde guards maintained order, but also looked at Garin with fiery eyes.

Those new residents of Stormgarde cheered from the bottom of their hearts when they saw Garin, who had taken them in and sheltered them, for the first time.

I don't know who started it first, but a large number of petals were thrown out and the fireworks bloomed at the same time.

When Garin walked by, all the soldiers and residents of the guard force knelt on one knee.

"Welcome back, Prince Garin."

"A living legend."

"That's our prince, the God Slayer!"

"You are our only king, your kindness and power will illuminate the starry sky."

"Holy Light, that's Prince Garin Trollbane, a true king!"

All kinds of sincere and heartfelt praises were spoken.

In the welcome like the moon surrounded by stars, Garin returned to the Trollbane Palace, or Trollbane Fortress.

Even if Garin didn't ask, Marshal Oslet asked the great architect Barons Alexston to rebuild this place as soon as possible.

Unlike the hustle and bustle outside, residents are not allowed to enter the Trollbane Palace at will.

The Trollbane Palace is grand and elegant. The best stone is used here, and the flags of the Kingdom of Stormgard are hung everywhere.

In front of the palace is a royal garden, and the entire layout is very similar to the rebuilt Stormwind Fortress.

This is not surprising, after all, Baros Alexston is the one who rebuilt Stormwind City for the second time, and the Stormwind Fortress after the Cataclysm was built by Baros Alexston.

Now, Baros Alexston has turned the Stormwind Fortress after the Cataclysm into the Trollbane Palace.

Galen immediately announced that he decided to be crowned as the king of the Kingdom of Stormgard in a few days, and asked Marshal Oslet to invite all member states of the Alliance.

The news that Galen Trollbane was about to be crowned quickly spread throughout the Eastern Kingdoms.

This can be said to be the only exciting thing that has happened in the land of the Eastern Kingdom since the invasion of the Scourge.

Due to the coronation ceremony, various forces sent representatives to Arathi Highlands, which made the defenders of Wall Thoradin and Sardor Bridge extremely busy, and the unfinished port of Stromgarde was crowded with ships.

Stromgarde has not been rebuilt yet, the new city area in the east has just expanded the wall, and the mountain near the port of Stromgarde in the south has not been leveled, so the coronation ceremony was held in the old city area of ​​Stromgarde.

Representatives of various forces also rushed to Stromgarde before the coronation ceremony.

These representatives were arranged in the manors of the nobles in the old city area of ​​Stromgarde.

"I can't believe that Stromgarde has been rebuilt so much. If the reconstruction is completed, Stromgarde will be expanded three times, and the abandoned port will become a large port." Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon of Stormwind was ordered by King Varian Wrynn of Stormwind Palace to attend the coronation ceremony of Galen.

Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon is the most trusted person of King Varian Wrynn of Stormwind Kingdom. The two grew up together. Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon manages the Fordragon Corps composed of the Royal Guards of Stormwind City, and is also a heroic Paladin.

"Alas, why doesn't my father understand that only a united alliance can fight against the Scourge, just like fighting against the old tribe." Liam Greymane, the prince of the Kingdom of Gilneas, said helplessly. Unlike the stubborn, old-fashioned and isolationist King Genn Greymane of Gilneas, Prince Liam Greymane, who is about the same age as Galen, has always insisted on returning to the Alliance, especially after the outbreak of the Scourge.

But after Gilneas King Genn Greymane defeated the Scourge with the Greymane Wall, he believed that as long as the Greymane Wall existed, the Kingdom of Gilneas would be safe and there was no need to care about the Scourge and the Alliance.

The Kingdom of Gilneas and the Kingdom of Stormgard had fought over Hillsbrad Foothills and later withdrew from the Alliance. The relationship between the two countries was not very good.

But Gilneas Prince Liam Greymane applied to attend the coronation ceremony of Galen on the grounds of his personal relationship with Galen.

That's right, Liam and Galen had a personal relationship, and the two princes of the same age were naturally familiar with each other, but he knew another Galen.

After leaving the Alliance, Gilneas King Genn Greymane also attended the baptism of Lordaeron Prince Arthas Menethil in a private capacity because of his friendship with Lordaeron King Terenas Menethil II, so he did not refuse this time.
