Chapter 423
It is unfortunate for them to face such an enemy, but fortunately, they soon ushered in support with extraordinary strength.
In the holy city of Stratholme, the first batch of Silver Hand recruits have now completed their training. Shortly after Lothar led the main force of the Alliance to the Wall of Thoradin and stationed, the Silver Hand Paladins arrived here and led them It is the remaining few of the Silver Six: Uther Lightbringer, Gavinrad Doom, Saidan Dathohan, Tirion Fordring, and Liadrin.
Among them, Uther is the leader of all, followed by Gavinrad, Saidan and Tirion.
Since Liadrin was a high elf inserted through Ye Ting's relationship, she formed her own line in the hand of silver, leading all the high elf paladins in the hand of silver. And because of this, in the alliance army, on the surface, they were to obey Sylvanas, the commander-in-chief of the high elves, but in fact they obeyed her introducer, and at the same time they also gave her what the other five silver saints have. The person with the power of the seal - Ye Ting.
Her deputy is the elite warrior Ye Ting personally introduced to her, Lailora, known as the Killer of Dawn. Now that she has mastered the power of the Holy Light, Layla can truly be called the Killer of Dawn.
After the arrival of the Silver Hand, the commander-in-chief Lothar immediately summoned his men and started a combat meeting to discuss the next goals.
"Let's talk about it." At the battle meeting, Lothar waved his hand and said to the two rows of alliance generals sitting on both sides: "What should we do next, how to deal with our opponents."
"What other choice is there," Uther, the commander of the Silver Hand, who had just arrived, said eagerly. "Of course, immediately support Stromgarde and rescue His Majesty Thoras! We can't let a king of the Alliance die here. "
"Reckless move!" As soon as Uther's voice fell, Sylvanas snorted coldly and retorted: "The Horde has such a powerful fighting force as the Death Knights, and they captured the defense line of the Sador Bridge in just one face-to-face. We don't know anything about such a dark force, so rashly attacking is simply irresponsible for the lives of our soldiers."
"The Silver Hand will be in charge of fighting against the Death Knights!" Uther exclaimed, "The power of the Holy Light will dispel all darkness. With the Holy Knights of the Silver Hand, the Death Knights will not be an obstacle for the Alliance."
"The power of the Holy Light... It's a pretty good word to say." Sylvanas sneered mockingly at Uther's declaration, "But who knows how your recruits will behave on the battlefield, I I will never put the lives of my soldiers on illusory hope."
"Please don't question the power of the paladin, Lady Windrunner." Uther's expression became serious in the face of Sylvanas' questioning.
"Yes, the power of the Holy Light is invincible!" Others in the Silver Hand also echoed.
Originally a meeting to discuss strategic decisions, the atmosphere became tense due to heated debates.
Lothar shook his head and was about to speak when his adjutant Turalyon immediately stood up and persuaded everyone on both sides to go back.
After no one spoke, Lothar nodded and said, "The Silver Hand's opinion is to directly support Stromgarde, and Miss Sylvanas objected, so what's your opinion?"
"My opinion is to stand at the Wall of Thoradin and wait for the orcs to attack." Sylvanas said, pointing to the map, "Everyone, please see, although the Horde successfully broke through the defense line of the Sador Bridge, come here. When they arrived at the mainland of Lordaeron, but after entering the Arathi Highlands, they actually didn't have much to go: the east and west of the Arathi Highlands were the sea, and the north was a natural danger that was difficult to cross, the Alterac Mountains, so they After capturing the Arathi Highlands, there are only two ways to go further - either storm the Wall of Thoradin and enter the Hillsbrad Foothills, or venture through the Alterac Mountains to the Hinterlands ."
Everyone looked at the topographic map of Arathi Highlands in front of them and nodded in approval.
"Actually, in my opinion, as long as we can hold on to the Wall of Thoradin, whichever path the orcs choose, we will have the advantage. In fact, breaking the Wall of Thoradin and entering the Hillsbrad Foothills is their best Choice, because Hillsbrad Hills is a four-war place, as long as they enter here, the tribe can choose the next target at will, they can pick up the soft pinch, first attack the smallest country Alterac; they They can also go straight to Huanglong and attack the kingdom of Lordaeron in the hinterland of the alliance; they can also cut off the wings of the alliance, pass through the Silverpine Forest, and attack the more western Gilneas. At that time, our alliance will be passive. If we are in danger, we either have to divide our troops to fortify everywhere, and we are finally defeated by each of them. If we forcibly join forces, we will have to face the alienation within the alliance, which can be said to be in a dilemma..."
"Ms. Sylvanas is so right," the Ranger General said, and Lothar's adjutant Turalyon immediately agreed, "Compared to the ownership of Arathi Highlands, what is more important at the moment is Hiroshima. It is indeed necessary to defend the Wall of Thoradin well for the safety of the Elsbrad Hills."
However, his unsolicited approval was not favored by Sylvanas, and the ranger-general even gave him a glare for his extravagance.
In addition, Ye Ting and Uther also cast a strange look at him.
Ye Ting felt very strange that Turalyon would take the initiative to agree with Sylvanas. Referring to the precedent in the original book that the paladin fell in love with Alleria, it was reasonable for him to do so - maybe He really is the type that has absolutely no resistance to spirits.
However, whether it was Alleria or Sylvanas, even if Turalyon finally fell in love with Wen
Lessa, Ye Ting can tell him clearly: You are thinking about shit.
As for Uther, he may have resented Turalyon's opposition to him.
As the first Paladins, Turalyon and Uther were both noble, but that didn't mean they were saints.
Compared with Turalyon, Uther's beliefs are purer, but also more "pedantic", which makes him only general. In comparison, Turalyon is more realistic and can see the essence of war more clearly. In this way, he can be said to be handsome. In the original book, it was he who took over the duties of the commander-in-chief of the Lothar Alliance.
This is the source of their conflict.
What's more, although Uther is of high character, he is the kind of character who doesn't like being directed. Lothar and Fao were able to stand above him by virtue of their qualifications, and gave him orders, but Turalyon... my little brother dared to refute my opinion, it's not good.
Chapter 0553
It must be mentioned that although there is some conflict between Uther and Turalyon, Uther is Uther after all.
This noble paladin scrupulously abides by his duties and the creed of a paladin, and will put all his dissatisfaction in his heart. As the commander of the Silver Hand and a member of the Alliance, he will not do anything to disobey the order because of these.
However, it is an indisputable fact that Turalyon, an adjutant of the alliance who was eager to express himself, had a bad effect on himself because of what he said just now.
Just as Turalyon finished speaking and Lothar was about to ask the others for their opinions, the Wildhammer Dwarf King, Falstad Wildhammer, who is now one of the generals for the time being, hurriedly spoke.
"Well, who can explain to me, what if the orcs did not attack the Wall of Thoradin, but entered the Hinterlands through the Alterac Mountains."
The Wildhammer dwarves' Eagle's Nest is located in the Hinterlands, and Falstad naturally cares about it.
So, everyone's eyes turned to Sylvanas again.
Sylvanas shrugged and said, "Actually, if the Horde enters the Hinterlands, it's more to my liking than the Wall of Thoradin."
As soon as she finished speaking, Falstad immediately became anxious. Isn't this clearly deceiving them as Wildhammer dwarves? He was about to refute, but was stopped by Ye Ting.
"Listen to her." Ye Ting said lightly.
You don't have to give other people's face, but Falstad still has to give the face of Ye Ting, the archmage. Although the news about the red dragon and the guardian dragon did not spread, Falstad had already heard about Ye Ting from his younger brother Kurdran, which made Ye Ting's status in his eyes rise again.
Those are the people who are favored by the giant dragons, they can't be offended.
Nodding to Ye Ting, Sylvanas continued: "In fact, if Archmage Lever hadn't led the army to clear the trolls in the Hinterlands, I wouldn't have dared to say such a thing. In fact, we can See, the Hinterlands and its large lands to the north are dense forests and complex mountains, and are basically uninhabited except for the Wildhammer dwarves of the Eagle's Nest. For the Alliance, this is their natural danger, but For the tribes, these forests and mountains are difficult obstacles to deal with. To cross these complex terrains to attack the hinterland of the alliance, it takes an astronomical amount of time and food for a large number of tribes. On the one hand, the alliance can pass Geographical and supply advantages have fully weakened the tribe in this forest and mountains. On the other hand, we can also get a chance to breathe. As for Eagle's Nest Mountain, the terrain there is more dangerous than Stromgarde, almost comparable to Ironforge. , Orcs can't take this place at all, but will fall into a war of attrition because of this, why not do it?"
Even Falstad had to admit that Sylvanas was right, but it was not Sylvanas who admired the most at this time, but Ye Ting, who had basically never spoken.
Although Sylvanas's strategy can be regarded as old-fashioned and impeccable, when they heard this, they suddenly realized that it was the mage in front of them who actually caused this favorable situation.
He anticipated this possibility long before the war officially started, so he connected with the three tribes of humans, high elves and wildhammer dwarves in advance to encircle and suppress almost all the trolls in the eastern part of Lordaeron.
Originally, the alliance generally believed that his main purpose was to train troops and win over allies of the high elves.
But now, they discovered Ye Ting's biggest purpose.
If the trolls are still there, then the Hinterlands will become a breakthrough for the alliance. With these natives of Lordaeron here, the tribe can run rampant in the Hinterlands and even more north, Zu'Aman, Silvermoon The forest, without hesitation, went around to the rear of the Alliance to attack Quel'Thalas and the kingdom of Lordaeron.
However, after the trolls were besieged, the Hinterlands changed and became an obstacle to the Horde's attack on the Alliance, and the Alliance's natural line of defense against the Horde.
What a foresight to be able to think about everything before the war and respond in advance.
For a while, Ye Ting became a lot more inscrutable in people's eyes.
Sylvanas' proposal was undoubtedly approved by the majority, but Uther still raised a question that needs to be faced: what about Stromgarde? Could this ally, Trollbane, be left alone?
In this regard, Sylvanas just smiled and looked at Ye Ting again.
"Let our war advisor, Archmage Liv, who just returned from Admiral Daelin's fleet, answer this question."
——This guy is actually making trouble for me again.
Ye Ting gave Sylvanas a white look, and then said helplessly, "Actually, we can use sea freight."
"Sea Freight
? "Lothar's eyes lit up.
"That's right, we will not only support Stromgarde with the defense of the sea, but also do it with great fanfare in front of the tribe." Ye Ting nodded and explained.
"As we all know, Admiral Daelin's fleet almost wiped out the Horde fleet near Zuldre Island. Now the alliance's sea power has no rivals, and Stromgarde happens to be facing the sea, although there are high cliffs there, but As long as a simple mechanical structure is used to build a pulley to transport the equipment, the cliff is not an obstacle to maritime support. Through sea transportation, we can continuously send supplies and soldiers to Stromgarde, and we can also evacuate civilians for them. In this way, Stromgarde will It has become a nail that the Alliance buried in the Arathi Highlands. The Horde is not only unable to capture here, but also has to guard against our internal and external cooperation, counter-attack the Arathi Highlands through Stromgarde, occupy the Sador Bridge, and cut off their back road."
