Willingly?

Unwilling.

Angry?

Can't.

Carlos understood that resentment would not contribute to his career or life, and even if he complained that Anastarian was not on the road, he could only say it in front of the envoys. In the face of those High Elf comrades who fought together, Carlos is still the heroic king, the brave and fearless paladin, and the brother worthy of trusting his back.

Otherwise, how about it, because of the expected return of paying and complaining, will you turn your face directly? And then turn the brothers who have been filmed together and shed blood into enemies?

"Raise your head, as a descendant of Soladin the Great, I, Carlos. Barov out of morality, how can he not ignore the ancient covenant, the elf brothers are in trouble, how can I, Alterac, stand by and watch, everyone lives and dies together on the battlefield, why is it so angry now? ”

"Good brother, say that, when you have time to come to Alterac to see the snow, I invite you to eat cheese ham and drink snow mountain beer."

"Cheer up, there's an uphill battle waiting for us, let's fight side by side again."

Although because of the big mouths of his subordinates, Aurelia's group of volunteers felt that they owed something to their human allies, and some complained about their own Sun King.

But Carlos finally understood the truth of being a man and leaving a line, so he quickly summoned his subordinates to do ideological work, and finally let these muscle bumps open.

We are owed Anastarian, the king of Quel'Thalas, and the innocent brothers and sisters who fought alongside us.

As a result, the atmosphere in the entire Maple Valley eased up.

"Carlos, the last batch of refugees will be completely transferred in about ten days."

After that too-successful meeting, Aurelia finally mustered up the courage to meet Carlos.

"Very well, the pressure was not too great, and the explosion managed to deter the tribe. For three whole days, they have advanced less than ten kilometers, and we are probably frightened. At this rate, it will take at least seven days to reach our current defenses, so we only need to hold on for three days. ”

Carlos smiled at Aurelia.

"But how do you go back, the road to Quellins has been cut off."

Aurelia asked, frowning.

"That's not a problem at all. You don't have to worry. ”

Carlos said lightly.

"Why don't you worry, I didn't fulfill my promise, I missed the appointment, I ......"

"You didn't miss your appointment." Carlos interrupted Aurelia, "I'd love to say that. ”

“……”

Aurelia was speechless.

Although there was no contract at that time, and the conditions were not too straightforward. But you do owe me. But forget it, judging from the meaning of your king, material compensation is indispensable. Hilbride was basically smashed. The famine in the first two years after the war was almost predictable, and the soldiers would not die in vain if they were replenished with supplies from you, Quel'Salas. Forget it, forget it, that scroll will be interest, and we will pay it off. ”

"The scroll is interest, and the principal is still what I owe you, how to pay it off."

Aurelia's head bowed.

"Aha. Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. ”

Carlos played a haha round.

"Words without the heart can go straight to the heart. You have a grudge in your heart. ”

"How can you have no regrets, you high elves are not my uncle. But forget it, really forget it, carefully speaking, I don't lose either, during the war. The people are worthless. ”

Carlos took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it again.

"After crossing the river, I'll contact the navy to send you south with a fleet."

Aurelia suggested.

"No, I'm always going to go back to Stratholm and give Tyrenus an explanation."

Carlos rejected Aurelia's offer. Find a reason that is not so nonsense.

"I'm sorry."

"Okay, I'll take your apologies, and then can we talk about anything else?"

Carlos decisively put an end to the topic.

"There's the strategy for the next step, and I'd like to hear from you. Even with 2,000 reinforcements, with a hundred mages, and with the fortifications set up by Tulayan in advance, we can't hold it by relying on the elves alone. ”

Aurelia talked about military strategy, and finally cheered up.

"The ultimate purpose of this line of defense is to delay time and provide a chance for your retreat, your Great Barrier has been shattered on the southern bank, and Gul'dan has stolen it...... Destroyed a large number of runestones. The magical enchantment you have been so proud of for millennia is no longer valid. Withdraw your people back into Silvermoon City's sphere of influence, and there's only so much you can do. With the strength of your navy and air force, trolls and orcs who dare to cross the river and besiege Silvermoon City are looking for death. ”

Carlos said this from a purely military point of view.

Yongge Forest, which is divided into north and south by a wide Haihe River, is the only long bridge five kilometers north of the Maple Creek Valley, where the army is now stationed. Stuck in this danger, the coalition forces can advance and retreat freely, which is also where Carlos's confidence lies.

In the real plane, crossing the river has never been an easy way to live. From the troop organization of the boat ferry, to the transportation of materials to the selection of the beachhead, or the selection of the location of the pontoon bridge, or the secrecy of the crossing. One is more difficult than the other. A heavily armed soldier, a proper tin can, and waist-deep water can drown a soldier if he slips and slips, let alone a sea river that can be sailed. If they travel lightly, the elves can easily kill an unprotected and exhausted soldier with just a few arrows.

So there aren't many options for trolls and orcs, building bridges or building ships, or storming Maple Creek Valley.

The strategic passivity requires the soldiers to fight bloodily to recover, while the tactical passivity needs to be filled with their lives.

Now the elves are strategically passive, but when they get stuck in the important place of Maple Creek Valley, the trolls and orcs are tactically passive.

"But that's exactly what I'm worried about. The North Shore is the essence of our elves, where farmland has been cultivated for thousands of years, and towns have been built for more than a dozen generations. Just the compatriots who migrated to the south bank spent so much effort, hey. ”

After Aurelia finished speaking, she pulled up the ends of her hair, as if she wanted to see if she had gray hair.

"Haha, don't tell me you want to defend Maple Creek Valley. The terrain of this broken place is so good that your 3,000 men will definitely be able to hold off an army of 10,000 for half a year. The only problem, how do you solve the water source? ”

Carlos gets to the heart of the matter.

In this critical place, there is only one mountain spring, and the water produced every day can supply the needs of up to 100 people, and the rest of the water needs to be taken separately. After comparing the surrounding terrain, Tulayan chose Maple Creek Valley as a tactical support point and set about building an underground cistern. Even so, it was only for a day.

So Maple Creek Valley is definitely not a place to stay for long.

"So what's your opinion, Carlos, and I'd like to hear your opinion."

Aurelia asked sincerely.

"Defend until the people are gone, I will go south, you go north, destroy the bridge, set up a patrol, and wait for the follow-up reinforcements of your king."

Carlos replied earnestly.

With 2,000 reinforcements, Aurelia had at least 2,700 men at her disposal, and counting Tulayan's men, Carlos's troops would go up 3,000 after removing the seriously wounded and impaired with their legs and feet.

Although Carlos had brilliant results in the two battles against the trolls, he was not unscathed in the knight's novels. War has always been a cruel game of number exchange.

"Carlos, I'll tell you something, can you promise not to pass it on?"

Aurelia hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to speak.

"Uh-huh."

"If you can stay a little longer, I can lead these people to accompany you south, which can be regarded as fulfilling my promise."

"Aha?"

"Prince Kael'thas is coming back. If I go south, His Majesty Anastarian won't mind if I take these men with me, you know. ”

"Nani!"

"Hold on a little longer, and I'll go with you!"

Aurelia nodded determinedly.

Carlos is stupid, are the High Elves all insane? (To be continued......)
