Benny was just about to sit the paladin when Gavinrad arrived. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Excellency. "That's what Gavinrad always called when there were outsiders.
"Acquaintance?" Benny asked, turning, quietly. Gavinrad was Uther's lieutenant, and many paladins he should have some impression even if he didn't know them.
"Yes. Gavin Rad stepped forward and patted the paladin on the shoulder. "Nelson, it's a pleasure to see you again. ”
"Your Excellency. The paladin knocked on his chest, his eyes moistened.
The paladin's brown color is closer to blonde hair, and he looks to be about 30 years old, with some dry blood on his face.
"You've become a paladin?" Last time Gavinrad saw Nelson, he was just a new recruit in training.
"Yes. Nelson's face darkened with pride and then darkened.
"Introducing you. "Gavin Ladra over Tyran. "This is Benedict Smith, the leader of the Dawn of Light, who led us out of the ravages of the undead and recaptured the Stratholme region. This is Nielsen. ”
"We've already covered it. Benny smiled. "Sit down. ”
A few people sat down on the hospital bed, and the others began to look a little restrained.
"Isn't the Manh Valley doing well?" Benny looked at the wound on Nelson's arm, which was already bandaged and hung around his neck. It looks like it hurts the bone, and the priest's light is not completely healed.
"Yes, Your Excellency, we are short of food and water, and we are short of manpower, especially in the last week, when the undead have suddenly stepped up their offensive against us, and there are still some demons ----. ”
"How did you find ours?"
"I was sent out in search of food and clean water, but on the way I was ambushed by the undead, and the road back to the Valley of the Hearth was completely blocked, and we broke through and fled in other directions, trying to find another way back until we were discovered by a team of scouts. "Nelson thought of the 'weird' scouts again, holding a strange 'musket'---- he didn't know if it should be called a musket.
"How many people are there in the Hearth Valley?" Benny asked, mentally calculating the distance from the Hearth Valley to the Sudrorell River.
"Less than 5,000 people. Nelson's face was a little grim. "About 800 soldiers. There are also some paladins. "They sacrificed a lot of people.
"Who's in charge there?"
"Your Excellency Tirio Fortin. ”
"Tirio?!" Gavinrad exclaimed. "He---- he's back?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. Three months after Arthas and Lord Uther left the Valley of the Hearth, we were suddenly attacked by the undead, and we were unprepared and sacrificed many people. Although they repelled the first wave of their attack, the undead seemed to be endless, and none of the scouts and griffin knights who sent for help heard back, and in less than two weeks, we could not hold on, and Lord Tirio with more than twenty paladins suddenly appeared to repel the undead attack. Later, our commander died in battle, and he led us again! Without him, we would not have been able to hold out. "Tirio's own fiefdom was in the Valley of the Hearth, only to be stripped of after 'treason'.
"That's ----," Benny frowned. "We can only send an air patrol to establish contact with the hearth valley first. ”
"Your Excellency, we may not be able to hold out for much longer. Nelson got up excitedly. "The soldiers and paladins haven't eaten for two days, and they can only face the undead hungry!"
"It's too far away there, Nelson!" Benny explained. "If we send out troops rashly, it's hard to guarantee that they won't be ambushed by the undead like you! We must have a complete plan! And I have 200 planes from Ironforge here, and they will drop some supplies to support you first. ”
"But ----," Nelson blushed, and stopped talking.
"I promise that I will send troops to support Hearthvale within a week. ”
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency!" Nelson finally calmed down.
"I understand your feelings. You have a good rest first, and I'll go prepare the airdrop supplies. ”
Benny nodded to Gavin Rad, and the two walked out of the room.
"I didn't expect the Valley of the Hearth to fall yet. Gavinrad sighed, he had been surprised when the Hand of Tyr was discovered, he had seen the power of the army of the undead.
"For all sorts of reasons. "After the undead destroyed Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas, there was no 'big move', and the undead who attacked the human settlement were more out of instinct to kill all the living. And the time between the outbreak of the undead and the sudden weakening of the Lich King was very short, and many human resistance forces took the opportunity to grow stronger and had the power to resist the undead, however, here, Benny took Lordaeron with probably more military power in general, especially 2/3 of the paladins. He could not predict whether the Scarlet Crusaders, the main resistance force, were formed or not, and where they would operate. The same was true of the other military forces led by Gasiris.
"What now?" The training of the 'new army' has just been prepared, and it is somewhat difficult to transfer troops.
"What happened to the Knights' mounts?"
"There are exactly 200 'Queldore horses', but they are all wild horses that Quel'Salas have only recently captured, and they will need some time to train. A few of them have already been handed over to experienced grooms for breeding. "Quel'Thalas's contamination isn't as bad as Lordaeron's, so when Benny asked for a qualadin to arm his horses, they sent some wild horses. These horses have a higher IQ than ordinary war horses in the human world, are larger in size, and have much more strength and endurance than ordinary war horses, especially in terms of explosive power, more than twice as many as ordinary war horses! The pointed horns on their heads make them look very much like unicorns in mythology in previous lives.
"Can it be done in a week?"
"No!" Gavinrad shook his head. "Warhorses are more difficult to train than paladins, and although those Quil Dore horses are smarter than ordinary warhorses, it will take at least 1 month before they can be used initially. And paladins also need time and mounts to develop a tacit understanding. ”
"Then you can only draw ordinary soldiers. Benny sighed, time, everything takes time!
"1,000 should be enough, 800 elite soldiers and musketeers can be drawn. "Elite soldiers are those who are more angry and more experienced in combat, and musketeers are human musketeers who have just recently begun training.
"Double it up and keep them in Hearthvale, and I'll ask Quel'Thalas for help to build a portal. ”
"Understood!" (To be continued.) )
