Dick came in disguise, and no one knew his identity except for Mograine, who was stationed here, on the one hand, so as not to cause confusion, and on the other hand, the personnel composition of the Dreadnought Fortress was very complicated, and no one could guarantee that there were no Death cultists here who were working for the natural disaster, these rats were very clever and annoying, and no one knew when they would jump out and destroy the original detailed plan.

Especially for a paladin of the level of Dick, there are only two landing fields in the entire Northrend, one east and one west, and there are only two people, Fording and Mograine, which has already made the Scourge Legion very passive, and another Dick will definitely cause a wave of unnecessary trouble.

As mentioned earlier, the Undead Scourge also has its own small society, and when the Lich King is asleep, the arrival of Dick, and the chaos caused by the Undead Scourge are likely to make the situation of Dreadnought Fortress and Zhiyuan County, which are still in a state of expansion, very passive.

No matter how strong Dick is, he is only one person, and he can't protect these brave forerunners of the Borean Tundra forever.

From Dick's vision, dressed as a civilian of the kingdom of Lordaeron, the current order of the Dreadnought Fortress is generally neat, and in this city that covers at least two-thirds the size of Stratholme, there are not as many tricks as the cities of the civilized world, and it is divided into three parts, the dock area is used to repair the warships, which have to travel back and forth between Northrend and the Eastern Continent every seven days to transport soldiers and supplies, and sometimes penetrate deep into the seas of Northrend to fight the lawless pirates.

Speaking of which, the pirates of Northrend have been getting more and more crazy for a while, and there have even been incidents of pirate ships besieging the dreadnought fortress, of course, with Mograine and the Scarlet Crusaders stationed here, those pirates lost a third of their manpower, and they didn't even take down the docks of the fortress, and finally had to flee in amazement.

And this matter also has something to do with Dick, these pirates are all belonging to the forces of the Blood Sail Pirates, there are two large stations of this pirate gang that have been crisscrossing the endless sea for more than ten years, one is the mysterious Plunder Island, and the other is the Scoundrel Harbor in the Northland, Dick in exchange for the help of Kurtilas, told Dai Lin the location of these two places, and then the Blood Sail Pirates suffered, Dai Lin personally took the sea king and three fleets to the plunder island located in the South China Sea, and the commodore Matthew, who has become more and more important in recent years, came to Scoundrel Harbor with the rest of the fleet, and supported the Northern Expedition by the way。

It is not known how the battle to plunder the island went, but the Scoundrel Harbor in Howling Wind, a logistical port, was almost completely wiped out under the attack of the Kurtilas navy, and the pirates who escaped had to take refuge in natural disasters in order to survive, and some of them regained their lives watching the sky and eating on the sea, and in desperation, attacking the dreadnought fortress with their lives was just a trick to survive.

After the dock area, there is the largest building of the fortress, the barracks, where at least 1W3,000 soldiers and thousands of horses live, the smell is not very good, but at least it provides a safe resting place, and the innermost interior is the headquarters, where Mograini and his generals live.

In addition, on the entire wide northerly tundra, there are also scattered camps of the other 3 silver Northern Expeditionary Army, but they are all reconnaissance or logistics camps, and there are some rangers patrolling the entire plain.

When Dick saw old Mograine, the old knight seemed to be in a very good mood, and he hugged Dick, invited Dick, who had come from afar, to sit in a chair, and took out two more glasses, and shook a unique bottle of wine in front of Dick's eyes.

"It's a deep-sea spirit given to us by the local walrus, and you'll love the taste, and you'll warm up with a glass of it in this freezing weather. ”

Dick set his eyes on the large map hanging on the wall behind Mograine, which recorded the situation throughout the Borean tundra with various intricate lines, he was no longer a low-level creep, and now this kind of military map was enough for him to understand the speed and situation of the current war.

After a few seconds, Dick took his eyes off the map and picked up his glass, a glass of liquor in his stomach, his stomach groaning as he burned, causing Dick to grin and make Mograine laugh.

"When I fought with Marshal Lothar, the marshal said that a soldier who cannot drink alcohol is not a good soldier. ”

Mograini drank the liquor in front of him without changing his face, and then exhaled,

"But he thinks the marshal is wrong, you are a good soldier, but you don't like to drink. ”

Dick waved his hand, calmed his twitching stomach, and began to get down to business, "Judging from your map, we have taken the coastline?

The old knight moved his wrist and said,

"Of course they won't sit idly by and watch us expand their power, but without an effective command, they are not our opponents, in the past 3 months, we have fought with the local undead 4 times, and we have never lost, this coastline is also taken from them by the sword in the hands of the warriors, and now Bridget and Dalyan are trying to open a new landing point in the Dragonbone Wilderness with the follow-up troops of the Scarlet Crusade, and when the construction is completed, we will be equivalent to setting two nails on this continent, and no one will want to drive us away. ”

In the face of Mograine, Dick no longer hid, and after a brief understanding of the local situation, he asked the most important thing this time.

"So, Alessandro, what do you think of the Northern Expedition, and why are we fighting this war?"

The question was somewhat strange, but out of trust in Dick, Mograine thought for a moment and clenched his fists,

"Revenge, and burning the flames of war on the side of the undead, we are the new walls of Lordaeron, and if we don't fall, the undead will not want to enter the civilized world. ”

Dick nodded noncommittally, and then talked about his plans,

"So have you ever thought so, Alessandro, you know, now the people support the Northern Expedition because they think the war can protect them, but for us, we all know that this war will not end in at least 2 years, even if we kill Arthas, can we leave the entire Northrend undead alone? Do you think that five years from now, the war-weary people will still support us, and even if they do, will the new Lordaeron be able to withstand it?"

Dick accentuated, "This is the undead of an entire continent, to purify them, even if we are exhausted to death, it will be an impossible task within 10 years." ”

"So?"

Mograine's brows furrowed, he knew that Dick's words were not alarmist, during the Orc War, if it wasn't for the orcs who hit the territory of Lordaeron, most of the people would still not pay much attention to the orcs who almost overthrew the entire continent, this has nothing to do with wisdom or not, the will of tens of millions of people gathered together is inherently short-sighted, this is a matter of human nature.

The old knight waited for Dick to give him an answer, and Dick did not disappoint him, he pointed to the earth outside Mograine's window, the tundra of the north wind, a place covered in cold.

"Here, Alessandro, when I got off the ship just now, I saw the farmers who came to pioneer the land under the protection of the army, collecting those crops, have you ever known the land here?"

Speaking of this, Mograini's brows widened, and there was a hint of relief on his face, "Of course, I have to say, you made the right choice when you asked me to bring these farmers, the soil here is even more fertile than Lordaeron, it's really unbelievable, in just 3 months, we have harvested a crop of wheat, although it is not enough to be self-sufficient, but it is much faster than the originally planned transportation of supplies." ”

"Yes, Alessandro, the land is so fertile, why should we leave it to the Plague, or let it be destroyed by war?"

Dick waved his arm, and his tone became relaxed,

"I spoke to Her Majesty before I came..."

When His Majesty was spoken, Dick's face changed subtly, but the old knight did not notice that he was waiting for Dick's next words.

"Huh?"

"Your Majesty means that she intends to turn the Borean Tundra into the sixth province of Lordaeron, and to give all the land here to the people and nobles in exchange for their support, and if her plan is successful, we can provide at least 3W plebeian families with enough land to cultivate, and based on the area of the Borean Tundra area, there will be at least 20 fiefdom barons, or 10 earls of real power, and a noble marquis. ”

Dick's eyes narrowed,

"As we advance, more and more land will be freed up, and these lands will be given priority to veterans and nobles who have lost their fiefs due to the invasion of the undead, as long as they are on our side, Lordaeron will not give up easily, and most importantly, when the commoners get the land of their dreams, when they get used to life here, when they know that the undead are coming to destroy, what will they do?"

"They will stand up and fight with us... The taste of losing one's homeland is enough to experience it once. ”

Old Mograine's eyes lit up, his family had also lost their fief in the invasion of the undead, the Tirisfa region that kept the undead and werewolves haunted was not a good place, it would not be suitable for humans for the next 20 years, but if the fief was changed to the borean tundra...

The old knight remembered the excitement of the peasants when he had harvested the grain the other day, and he silently weighed Dick's statement, and finally raised an unavoidable question.

"But the Undead Scourge won't let us do this, if we want to go to the frontier, our military strength is not enough, and other forces..."

"No! we can't go to the frontier, at least not until we kill Arthas! Until then, we can only do it on a small scale, first to bring in the nobles, and then to win over the landless commoners. ”

Dick shook his head and asked another question, "Is Knight Ferdin's operation in the Howling Fjords going well?"

Mograine shook his head, "It's not going well, compared to the situation in the Borean tundra, it's very bad over there, Fordin's letter to me said that the place is ruled by the Viku, those half-giants are difficult to deal with, and Fording suspects that they are in collusion with the undead scourge, they are evil allies, it's really disgusting, they can only take a defensive position over there, and it is difficult to counterattack." ”

"Then withdraw them, and we will focus on the north wind tundra with all our might!"

Dick turned, "Alessandro, how long will it take for you and Tirio's army to clear the entire Borean tundra?"

"There's 1W people over there, if they're all over there. ”

Old Mograine got up from his chair, walked a few steps around his desk, and finally came to a conclusion, "Three months at most! I can guarantee that there will be no large number of undead left in the entire Borean tundra, the biggest threat to this place is the climate, but with enough mages, the entire attack plan can be completed in two months." ”

"Two months, at that time, almost Arthas will also wake up, so let's do it! We adjust our strategy so that the upcoming reinforcements of other forces will land from the Dragonbone Wilderness, so that after two months, Arthas will wake up, and he will find that the coalition army has reached his doorstep, and he will not have time to harass the Borean tundra. ”

"But on the other side of the Howling Winds, if the Viku are really allied with the Scourge, they can't let it go, and when the war is going on, they suddenly come out of the Howling Winds, and it will only be a disaster for everyone. ”

"So I'll go over there and hand over those Viku to me, trust me, Alessandro. ”

Dick smiled and waved his hand, "What do you think of this idea?"

Old Mograine glanced at the confident Dick and shook his head,

"Frankly, no, you're taking it for granted, Dick. ”
