Chapter 9: The First Stop

Medivan's reminder brought Adeline to his heart, and the relatively smooth transition along the way made him feel that "changing history" was nothing more than that, and it also made his traverser's mentality begin to swell. Just like the sweetness and temptation of power, if you have held power for a long time and are not very strong-willed, it is easy to get lost in the sweet fragrance of power and become power-only exercising power for the sake of power......

Edlan was glad that although he didn't have a strong will, he hadn't gotten into too much of a trap, and he was a bit of a time-traveler's self-knowledge, and he had a neutral guy like Medivan who could jump out and wake him up directly. The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, not to mention what is the epic primary level of his own half bucket of water now? Even the level of Uther back then has not yet been reached, in case he is kicked by an ancient god, then he really has no place to cry.

And Medivan's words are also very correct, Adelan is changing "history", and what was originally in history will also change, which is the uncertain factor. Take this expedition against the Scarlet Crusaders as an example, with the two gold-lettered signboards of Terenus and Uther, plus the Lightforge and Draenei Garrison troops, and the Eco Ship as the final force, it looks like another Wyvern Rider......

But who can guarantee that the Dreadlord who has dealt with the Holy Light many times will not make any tricks? Calculators are Nasrezm's strong point, and the devil knows how Banazar will deal with it, so it's better to take it one step at a time.

With such concerns, after a raven was like a warning and flew away, but he didn't know where to hide and peep, Edlan changed his previous tactical plan of dividing into three troops to sweep the entire East and West Plague of the Scarlet Crusader stronghold by quickly advancing with one man and three horses, and turned it into a cavalry to collect or raid, and then sent infantry from Anaheim City to receive and place his own people in those critical posts one by one, and gradually changed the blood of the Scarlet Crusader troops first, so that they could reintegrate into the Knights of the Silver Hand and become the force of the new alliance。

So, after sending scouts to deliver the latest orders, Edlan secretly apologized to Edwin and Marcus and the others, and ordered the army to pass through the undead barrier, and Erigor, who had been promoted to become the new commander, led 5,000 men to Icewind Hill with his own warrant, where the Lightcaster Terenus would go with him as a necessary means to avoid strife. And Edlan himself led 5,000 people to the Valley of the Hearth to get his old friend Tyranfordin in order, and it was Uther who followed him, and as for the remaining 5,000 people, Edlan asked Herrod, who had returned from injury, to lead them to wait on the avenue in order to make reinforcements.

"Bell, bell, bell, ......"

On the watchtower of the castle in the hearth valley, those nervous soldiers hurriedly sounded the alarm bell of the enemy attack after seeing the watchtower warning that was lit all the way from the direction of the North Mountain Lumberyard.

Suddenly the valley of the Hearth was almost in chaos, and the workers and peasants who had been toiling fled in great panic towards their houses, paying no attention to the usually high-spirited Scarlet Crusader soldiers who had requisitioned them to the walls to await orders.

After all, the Valley of the Hearth was the domain of the Fording family, and these people belonged to the Fording family, and when the news reached that the old Fordin had been pardoned by Kalia and made him Marshal of Lordaeron, the people here were very happy that their lords had been approved by the new king and entrusted with important tasks, and they felt as if they had made a leap from a marginalized territory to the center of gravity of the kingdom overnight.

However, things did not develop as the civilians imagined, as the situation in the Northland deteriorated and the Scarlet Crusaders rose, for the sake of the overall situation, Tyranfording provided the territory under his own management to the Scarlet Crusaders to station and rest, and this place has become a huge military camp.

It was at this time that Ethan Lien, the former High Priest of the Knights of the Silver Hand and the mentor of Tyranfordin, was one of the first to respond to Alessandros' call to form the Scarlet Crusade, and he became the Attorney General of the Scarlet Crusaders after the new force was formed. Subsequently, after Tyranfording surrendered his domain, he personally led a group of capable Scarlet Crusader troops to serve as the Grand Procursor of the Hearth Valley, and his mission was to use his generous and kind image among the younger generation of paladins and soldiers to recruit and train as many qualified warriors as possible for the Scarlet Crusaders to fight against the undead.

As a result, the entire Hearth Valley is not only a logistics base directly under the Scarlet Crusaders, but also the only boot camp other than the Hand of Tyr.

Now, the news of the assassination of the Ember Bringer and Edlan's order to declare war has caused panic in the hearts of the Hearth Valley, and now the sudden appearance of the enemy attack alarm bell has caught these remaining recruits who have been repeatedly transferred to the Eastern Plaguelands war zone even more unprepared, many of them even cut themselves in a panic, and some of those who were crushed by those rumors even showed their weapons to the unarmed people, for fear that they would turn into vicious ghouls in the next second and tear themselves to pieces......

"Stop! Are you crazy?"

Tyran, who quickly came out of the castle with his guards, immediately noticed the chaos in the streets, and he let out a loud shout, knocking the recruit to his knees in fright.

"I, I, I ......"

Tyran was disappointed in the face of the recruit's uneasiness and panic, even though he was very familiar with the situation of the Scarlet Crusader recruits in his territory, and he himself was often involved in the training of the recruits, and he still had an impression of the recruit's face, and he performed very well during the training, but he didn't expect it to become such a wreck after encountering an emergency......

"Take him down. With a wave of his hand, Tyran asked the two guards to carry the new soldier away, who had been crushed by fear, or if he allowed this fear to spread, he would probably not have to wait for the enemy outside to attack, and the Hearthvale would be in chaos on its own, or even break through without attacking.

At this time, Ethan Lien also drove people out of the chapel, and the two groups of leaders met in this deserted street.

"Mentor, do you know what's going on outside? My star officer has gone to confirm the news, but hasn't come back yet......"

Ethanlien shook his head and said, "Kid, I don't know, I'm doing morning classes with the pastors. ”

But Tyran clearly saw the exhaustion on the faces of his mentor and his party, and he knew that the other party said that it was just a routine lesson, but in fact, since the murder of the Ember Bringer, the mentor and some radicals have gotten closer and closer, and can often see the lights in the chapel all night long, and the group of fanatical followers of the Holy Light inside seem to be practicing and meditating frantically in order to prove that the Holy Light is strong enough not to be defeated by evil, and even Tyran has a tendency to do this.

But now, the rush of alarm bells has finally broken the eerie atmosphere in Hearthvae. Just when the master and apprentice sent people to constantly urge intelligence and hurry more troops, someone finally came to tell them what was going on outside......

"Report! Outside, Outside......"

The reportable soldier, despite being one of the few veterans of the battle in Hearthvale, stammered and did not know what to say, or could not speak.

This made Ethan Lion and Tyran look at each other, and the former asked in a gentle voice, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Yes, yes!" the Grand Prosecutor ......" the soldier took a few deep breaths and said, "The troops outside the city belong to the Lord of Anaheim, and they are under the banner of the Knights of the Silver Hand...... In addition, the soldiers of our No. 1 and No. 2 towers were captured by them...... Well, it doesn't seem right to say that the captives are not right, they are more like voluntary? I don't really understand, Your Excellency...... I saw my good friend Hérault among them, and they were not wearing our uniforms, but rather wearing the coats of the Silver Hand to stand with the army outside......"

"What are you talking about? Edlan's guy is really here?" Tyran's eyes widened in disbelief, he thought that his old friend was the same as before, he was in a mood with Alessandros again, and when Adelan's "chaotic life" was conveyed to the Hearthvale, neither Tyran, the Lord of Hearthvale, nor Ethanleon, the Grand Procurator, took it to heart.

After all, even if he Edlan brought back all the troops from Kalimdor, what combat effectiveness did he still have after the expedition? In the eyes of the high-ranking of the Scarlet Crusade, Anaheim City guarded its own city and the undead fortress, and honestly provided them with supplies and food and grass, so how could there be enough strength to copy the back path of the friendly army?

It's not an April Fool's joke! It's an April Fool's Day black play

It's enough to laugh at one...... The Ashbringer was assassinated, and Fairbanks was the murderer...... No matter how you look at it, it looks like a big joke, but I didn't expect it to be true.

And when Ethanrien and Tyran arrived at the top of the city, and saw the imposing cavalry outside the city, the army that was at its peak and armed to the teeth, and the battle flags of Lordaeron and the Silver Hand raised high, they experienced the power of black humor for the second time.

At this moment, they who originally had the advantage of the city wall seemed to have been caused serious psychological pressure by the momentum exuded by the neat formation of the elite cavalry on the ground, especially their own people on the No. 1 and No. 2 guard towers are now very willing to stand in the enemy's array, which makes the soldiers on the city even more demoralized, plus the national flag that seems to represent Lordan Lun Zhengshuo, as well as the battle flag of the Silver Hand Knights, the predecessor of the Scarlet Crusader, are silently announcing that this is the army that has come to ban their illegal organization。

The fact that the Scarlet Crusaders are an illegal organization is a tacit belief in all the higher-ups, and they didn't think that Kalia, who was far away in the Stormwind Kingdom, would trouble them because of their small mistakes, especially since they were still fighting on the front line of the undead and fighting on the front line of recovering the land, and at this time, no one with some brains would go to the Scarlet Crusaders for this "nominal" and legal matter.

Even Adelan, who was promoted to general by Princess Kalia herself, didn't all the highest-ranking guys in the entire Northland now "sell" their favors to the Scarlet Crusaders? After all, everyone is a Lordaeron person, and they should work together for the sake of the national crisis, and in fact, the supplies and food provided by Anaheim City have become more and more important, which is much more food and materials than those human strongholds in the hands of the Scarlet Crusaders, and Edwin Van Cleef, who was temporarily exercising the authority of the lord at that time, was also a good talker, as long as the requirements were not too much, the materials of Anaheim City could be quickly sent to the undead barrier for handover.

This was enough to make the higher-ups of the Scarlet Crusade think that Edlan's attitude was to approve and ignore their "little mistake". This has also greatly eased the small friction between the two sides due to the supreme leaders on both sides......

It's just that now, Ethan Lion and Tyran are a little confused, what kind of madness did Edlan have when he came back from Kalimdor, not only did he give that kind of "chaotic order", but now he also sent people to besiege Hearthvale!

Fortunately, the questions that bothered them were quickly answered.

Three horsemen came out of the army outside the city, one knight held the signal flag for the meeting, the other was the master and apprentice at the head of the city, and the other was the master and apprentice at the head of the city, and the other was full of golden holy light, which could not be seen clearly on the distant city wall.

Seeing that the other party waved the signal flag, getting closer and closer to the city wall, and the buzzing of the whole city gradually disappeared, at this time, Tyranfuddin raised his anger and shouted: "This is the territory of the Hearthside Valley!

"This one really looks like old Ferdin......" Uther's face forged by holy energy seemed to show some nostalgia.

Edlan said with a wicked smile: "Mentor, it's still the same, you get out of the horse, if I go up, they probably won't listen to anything." ”

"Hmph, do you still know how bad your chaotic life is?!" Uther also said that they should have stopped meddling in the affairs of the living a long time ago when they became lightcasters, but Lordaeron and the Knights of the Silver Hand are dead knots in their hearts, this is like an unfulfilled wish, if they can't get what they want to see the revival of their motherland, I'm afraid that this dead knot in their hearts will always limit their growth as holy light creatures, which is not good for anyone.

So Edlan forced them to continue to play in the name of the commander...... Now it seems that the results of this residual heat are still good.

As Uther rode forward on his own and gradually lowered the brilliance of his own light, he loudly identified himself, "I am Uther's Lightbringer, the former head of the Lordaeron Silver Hand Knights, and now I am here to ...... as the Lightcaster Legion of the Azeroth Alliance."

In an instant, the voices of doubt, surprise, and bewilderment in the city exploded in an instant......
