Chapter 109: The Coming Generalissimo

...

In the undead Scourge army outside Dalaran, the death knights Arthas and Kel'Thuzad are mixed in the undead queue, hiding in a small forest, and they are now preparing to make the final arrangements before the battle.

"Hmph! Another damn magic barrier! Kel'Thuzad, do you have any plans?"

Looking at Dalaran in the distance, Arthas smiled disdainfully. Whether it is Long Ears or these mages of Dalaran, they all like to make these flashy enchantments so much. If they have the energy to make these things, they might as well To use it as a weapon, you must have the bomb with ears... Well, now that he thinks about that bomb, he still has lingering fears, so forget it, let them use all their energy on the barrier!

"Yes, Your Majesty. Because we have obtained enough information, there are probably two ways to break into Dalaran and get the book we need!"

After Kel'Thuzad read the information from the Cursed God Cult's talks, and also sent some undead into the barrier to test it out, after he figured out the function of the barrier, he quickly thought of a way to deal with it.

Besides, their main task this time is to go into the treasury of Dalaran to grab a book, and they don't want to fight these mages right away. In this way, the tactics can be flexible and easy to arrange .

"Oh? There is a solution so soon? Tell me."

For things like enchantment, Arthas is not a professional, so I am not very clear. But since this Kel'Thuzad was once a member of Kentoril's council, he must have thought of a way to deal with this professional problem now, right?

"Of course, my lord! Now, because their enchantment is aimed at the undead, it is a kind of magical energy damage similar to holy light, so..."

Kel'Thuzad stopped, looked at Alsace, and continued speaking after seeing that the other party was paying attention.

"The first method is: you will lead some of the most elite undeads to forcefully enter the barrier, and attack their three magic nodes with the fastest speed. After you destroy all three nodes, our army can swarm Enter, completely destroy this Dalaran! The book needed to summon Lord Archimonde will also be obtained."

Kel'Thuzad quickly mentioned one of the methods, which sounded a bit reliable. Anyway, in the original timeline, Arthas probably did this at that time, and it was successful.

"Oh? Is this method feasible?" After pondering for a while, Alsace felt a little unreliable.

"Uh..., because now Dalaran has more than 20,000 elite high elf troops, so if we do this, the loss may be a bit big. Even if we are defeated, we will probably lose most of them." The army...Moreover, the success rate is probably... less than half!"

If Dalaran hadn't adjusted the barrier, Kel'Thuzad would have been 100% sure to attack Dalaran directly like this, and he was very familiar with that barrier!

But now, that damned Antonidas, he actually changed and fine-tuned the enchantment early in the morning, making the enchantment only effective against undead. In this way, its magic damage was greatly enhanced! Coupled with the sudden addition of 20,000 high elves to disrupt the situation, this made this plan no longer so reliable.

"It's only half? Let's talk about another plan."

There is only a 50% chance of success, Alsace doesn't want to take the risk just like that.

After what happened in Silvermoon City, he already has a little more awe of magic. Who knows if those mages in Dalaran have come up with any weird and powerful things? Therefore, it is better to find a safer way.

"The second method is: let an undead pretend to be you, and command the army to attack the city outside the city with me,

Then, we will also continue to dispatch three relatively elite undead units to raid the three magic nodes in order to paralyze the enemy. "

"At the same time, you will lead the most elite small troops, the number does not need to be too many, directly raid the treasure house of Dalaran from the sewer, grab the book of Medivh, and send it back immediately before the other party reacts! I have nearly nine levels of confidence in this plan!"

"Because, as reported by the spies just now, that stupid Antonidas has already ordered most of the treasure house guards to defend the three magic nodes. In this way, you only need a small number of people to get the magic points we want. The thing you want!"

Kel'Thuzad quickly finished talking about the second plan, which has a much better success rate than the first one! Taking advantage of the weak defense of Dalaran's treasury, let Alsace's most elite squad slaughter in, snatch the book and run away with the teleportation scroll immediately!

I believe that old man Antonidas will be confused by then, right? Forgive them, they couldn't have imagined that the army of hundreds of thousands of undead was here with great fanfare, preparing to attack the city with great momentum, even for the purpose of stealing such a thing!

"Very good, this plan is very good, then do as you just said! Now, you can start to arrange, act quickly, and come here to inform me when you are ready."

Alsace thought for a while, and felt that the second plan was much more reliable. After thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed to Kel'Thuzad's plan after feeling that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Obey! My Majesty."

...

In Dalaran in the far southwest, humans and elves are about to fight against the undead Scourge, and a decisive battle is about to take place. On the side of the Eastern Plaguelands, Paladin Dathrohan and his cavalry of dozens of people are slowly following Old John's team of hundreds of people. They are transporting food and supplies and returning to the flames. on the mountain road in the canyon.

"How about it? John, come to the Silver Hand to fight with us, let us defeat the undead and regain Lordaeron! I can even give you the rank of colonel and let you lead our 2,000-strong recruit team, I believe that you will be able to train them all into elite troops."

Dathrohan's conditions are not unreasonable, he is the rank of colonel of the real power army as soon as he speaks, if it is a different person, he may immediately turn around and worship him? It's a pity that the target he recruited was Old John, a veteran who was completely disappointed in Lordaeron...

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Dathrohan, thank you very much for your kindness, but I have to refuse you once again. I really can't fight side by side with you now, because I'm already very old... Besides, in the canyon There are still thousands of refugees waiting for me to feed, we must transport this batch of food and seeds back as soon as possible, and then we need to build houses, cultivate land, and sow seeds.”

After rejecting the silver hand commander's nth solicitation again, it turned around and looked behind. They had loaded more than a hundred carts of food, and the other strong men were more or less sad. Holding the rucksack pocket, Old John smiled with satisfaction. With these things, the thousands of refugees in their canyon no longer have to worry about being hungry before the grain harvest!

"I said, John, can't you think about it any more? You are a powerful warrior, a seasoned veteran! As a citizen of Lordaeron, as a soldier of Lordaeron, now you should Come and help us, because the Kingdom of Lordaeron needs fearless warriors like you right now!"

Dathrohan and a group of cavalry accompanied the transport team in this way. On the one hand, they could help them escort the food back. On the other hand, he was also very interested in the Flame Canyon!

Therefore, Dathrohan wanted to sneak into the canyon in the name of helping to escort the food in front of him to see what was going on, to meet those friendly fire elementals who helped the refugees from Lordaeron, and their strange human queen.

In fact, Dathrohan is not too unfamiliar with the fire element.

At the end of the Second World War, near Heishi Mountain, he had seen that kind of thing that was full of fire. Li is sure, but not friendly!

Now hearing this John say that the fire element inside does not harm humans, but instead provides them with habitat and land for cultivation, which makes him very curious. Therefore, he temporarily decided that he must go in and see for himself!

Furthermore, this Flame Canyon is too close to the Holy Light's Hope Chapel and Tyr's Hand, only three to five days' journey away! In any case, he had to go in and have a look to see why the other party gathered here, and what was their purpose? If you can, it's best to meet their queen.

"Dear paladin, Your Excellency Commander Dathrohan, although it may sound a little offensive, I still want to correct you: We are no longer the people of Lordaeron... we are now , just a bunch of homeless refugees . . . ”

Old John sighed, took off his helmet, and stopped advancing. He just stood there, looking at Dathrohan calmly.

Now, he had to show his cards. He didn't want to go back to the Light's Hope Chapel with them, he didn't want to be an instructor in Tyr's Hand, and he didn't want to be a colonel! Right now, he just wants to build their new homes with the thousands of homeless people in the canyon.

"Look at us again. Here, all of us have relatives who died at the hands of the undead, without exception! Not only them, but even more, in the camp in the canyon, all Families, no one can escape completely, not even one!"

"Who made all of this? Who caused our wives to be separated and our family to be destroyed? And who stretched out the butcher knife to us? That's right! It's the prince of Lordaeron——Alsace!" After saying this, Old John looked towards the front of the team again.

"No... it's actually because..." Dathrohan was about to say a few words, but was interrupted by Old John.

"Look over there again, see? That Jude at the front of the line, smiling, he used to be a sergeant, one of my soldiers, a fine fellow! Don't you think he's happy now? Are you still smiling all day long?"

"Uh..., it seems to be true." Dathrohan didn't know what the veteran wanted to say, and after glancing at the front of the team, he could only nod reluctantly.

"Then I can tell you now, Jude, he used to have a small orchard at home, and a happy family. At that time, his parents were still alive, and he had a younger brother and two younger sisters... But Now, all gone! One is gone! You may not know... We have all seen him crying secretly every night... The first thing in the morning is to hide him secretly He always thought we didn't know about the drenched pillow towel, and forced a smile every day, laughing and laughing... If you dare to recruit him in the name of Lordaeron, I'm sure he will spit on you of."

"No! John, I think there is one thing you should understand. Arthas did these things because he fell into the trap of the devil! The culprit is the more evil existence behind him! When he fell After becoming an undead, he can no longer represent the royal family of Lordaeron and Menethil! These are two different things! Not only you, but we will also avenge him! Lordaeron is Lordaeron! He can only represent Alsace he himself!"

After finally understanding why this warrior rejected him repeatedly, Dathrohan quickly explained.

"Really? But I heard recently that when he was still a living person, he gave the order to massacre the city in the name of the prince of Lordaeron! Stratholme, you, you should still remember?"

John put on his closed helmet with red eyes, using it to hide his expression, he didn't want anyone to see his tears now.

"Two of my comrades... died defending Lordaeron at the beginning, and then, their orphans and children, I used all the money to buy them a big house in Stratholme... But what happened? They did After such a thing, I dared to block the news, and I didn’t know about it from other refugees until recently! This is really... huh!"

Old John couldn't imagine it. He just ordered the massacre because he suspected that the citizens in the city were infected? Is this something a normal prince can do? How dare he be so sure that everyone is infected? Why doesn't he check it out?

If all the citizens had become undead, and he, Alsace, ordered the massacre of the city, John himself would have nothing to say! But what did he do then? Just suspect, and directly attack the people who are still alive? Old John never believed that everyone ate those contaminated grains!

"No, this matter is actually because of the plague..."

Dathrohan stopped in the middle of his speech, and he couldn't continue. This incident was indeed the sin committed by Alsace at the beginning. Because Uther, the Lightbringer who was present at the time, also strongly opposed it.

"Come on, Your Excellency Dathrohan, you are an upright paladin, and we are just a bunch of ordinary people. We don't understand your honor or belief, we only know that whoever treats us well, we will do it for him Allegiance, whoever thinks of us, we will give our lives to whoever, but we will never give our lives to a kingdom that raises a butcher knife to its people. Lordaeron, it is no longer the Lordaeron of us..."

"The Flame Canyon is not far ahead. Thank you very much for the two days of escorting you and your subordinates. If you need to contact the fire elementals, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, it is best to send someone to notify me first. I will help you get in touch. After all, sometimes those fire demons are not so easy to talk to."

After saying the last sentence, Old John sighed, and regardless of the other party's reaction, he turned around and left, leaving only Dathrohan's bleak back, the back of a veteran...

...

"well……"

Watching the transportation team in the distance gradually sinking into the mountains from the entrance of the canyon, Dathrohan frowned and thought.

Originally, he thought it would be an easy recruitment operation, but he didn't want to end up in such an unhappy breakup. The words of this veteran John also touched him a lot. Perhaps, in the future, they should pay more attention to the thoughts of those lower-level soldiers.

"Your Excellency, Commander, do we still need to go into the canyon to see the situation? I saw a group of fire demons and lava dogs in front of them. There is a sentry there."

At this time, a Silver Hand cavalry rode back and reported that he had seen the fire demon and lava dog mentioned at the refugee's door. Those creatures were tall and strong, like Naga, but The colors are different, and the appearance is also a little different, so it looks very uncomfortable!

"Not for now, let's go back to Light's Wish! After finishing repairs, we will go directly south to Tyre's Hand! Generalissimo Garithos is probably going to be here, let's go, come back next time."

Recently, after hearing that the undead army led by Arthas was wiped out in Quel'Thalas, Grand Marshal Garithos decided to attack the undead in the Eastern Plaguelands first, clean up the undead here and capture Strathor Tom!

This is also the reason why Dathrohan led dozens of cavalry to investigate around Stratholme this time. He did find that the undead had decreased a lot, and he didn't know where they all went.

Perhaps, this is indeed a good opportunity for them! Take the Eastern Plaguelands first, and then cooperate with Hearthglen to clean up the Western Plaguelands. Then, it is not far from taking Tirisfal Glades and restoring Lordaeron!
