Chapter 454: Unbreakable. Hard but not upright
The mind of the ape is like a wild horse in a restless ape riot.
Even with such a high price to be paid for this plan, Carlos would still hesitate a little when he was alone. When he first stood on his side, Carlos respected Lothar, but he was not superstitious, he thought that Lothar could do as much as he could. However, now that he is truly in command of the Alliance army, Carlos's respect for Lothar has changed from respect to reverence.
It's too difficult, and there is a big reason for the trade-offs.
Reflection is one of the finest qualities of human beings, and the teachings of the ancient sages have been passed down to the world on the three daily reflections of one's body.
Carlos couldn't help but wonder if the decision he made was really good.
If it drags on, the orcs of the tribe will become weaker and weaker, there is no doubt about that. But it can't last long, and the tribe will slowly weaken over time, and the alliance is not the same. The alliance is so strong at this moment, the war-torn people of Lordaeron are so eager for revenge, and the warriors are not afraid to die in the face of the orcs. What about later?
Almost all of the members of the Alliance's army are victims of the orc tribes, and hatred drives humans to sacrifice their lives. But time is a panacea, without the pain it can't help, a month later, three months later, half a year later, a year later, ten years later, twenty years later, can humans at that time still face the resurgence of orcs?
Carlos didn't even want to wonder if the league still had this problem at the time.
Think twice, how? Again.
For the commander of the army, thinking twice before acting is by no means an excellent quality, it is almost equivalent to indecision, after making up your mind about everything, reflect once, and still do not regret it, then go for it!
Carlos closed his holy canon and was freed from his meditative state because Khadgar had arrived.
Teleportation spells are still high-risk spells for human mages at the moment, and all kinds of teleportation accidents are as rare as eating and drinking, so Khadgar, who has mastered the core technology, has to go back and forth to Lordaeron in person to grasp first-hand consultation.
"It's not going to be good, the news of Sir Lothar's death has shaken almost all of the League's top brassiers, so you can actually take command of the front line in the first place. I've been going back and forth between Lordaeron and Dalaran for the past few days, and all the information I've found proves one thing. ”
"What."
“……”
Khadgar stopped talking.
After a long time, the archmage finally raised his head and looked directly into Carlos' eyes.
"You're so suitable, on the front line, apart from Sir Lothar, you're really the only one who has the right to lead the Alliance."
"Don't give in."
Carlos's words were full of pride, but his expression was calm.
"Dalaran is not a place for good men and women, and I am not a nerd mage trained in an ivory tower, and my first important task is to go undercover in Karazhin. It is not surprising that a person like me is attracted to Sir Lothar's charisma. But reflecting on the relationship between the two of us, how long have we known each other, and how much real contact has were, I have been born and died several times with you, and even almost fell out with the Council of Six for you. ”
"So?"
"You're a good guy."
Khadgar's sudden arrival of a good guy makes Carlos laugh.
"You're a good man, so good that people forget that you're a king at the same time. The best armies of the Lordaeron are now under your control, and the others don't know what to do yet. But whether you win or lose, a conspiracy will flood the world like the fog encountered during a voyage at sea. ”
"What did you hear?"
Khadgar's profundity piqued Carlos' interest.
"Someone is ready to attack you with the death of Sir Lothar."
"When?"
"Lordaeron's side will gradually reduce the supply of food and ordnance, and everyone thinks that the southern expedition should be slowed down, and transferring the army back to the front line of Ironforge is the best option."
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Carlos really thinks so, there is no right or wrong choice, only advantages and disadvantages.
But Carlos' calm tone inexplicably stung Khadgar's heart, and the archmage erupted.
"Those guys were playing with women when we were struggling to make our way through the depths of the earth, they were at feasts when we were saving the world between fire and lava, we were on the front lines for the future of humanity, they were calculating you! They are ready to say that the cause of Marshal Lothar's death was caused by your actions, and for this there are people who are willing to pay a lot of money for my testimony! Traitor, this is a naked betrayal! ”
Khadgar's gasping old appearance, combined with his angry tone, was particularly shocking.
"What did my father and old father-in-law say?"
Carlos was not infected by this pathos, and still seemed so calm.
The kings were silent, but the noble lords who had been burdened with heavy levies by the Alliance's southern expedition jumped out again, and it was a great force. It's only been a long time, and it's only been a long time since the orcs retreated from Hillbride, and these people have begun to worry about those old sesame rotten grains, they should have let the orcs come to their house to greet them, and now there won't be so many bad things. ”
Khadgar gasped, tears streaming uncontrollably, for Carlos, for Lothar, and for himself.
"Isn't it good, my old father-in-law, His Majesty Terenus, didn't speak, my father can hold on for a while, Uncle Dalin and His Majesty Jean didn't choke, at least I still have time to complete this battle."
Carlos actually had a premonition of these pickles in his correspondence with his father Alex.
But not to be envied is a mediocre talent, if you want to do things, dealing with colleagues who are dragging your feet is also one of the basic skills, the pure evil forces of the Burning Legion are not exempt from vulgarity, Kilgardan also stumbled on Akmund from time to time, Carlos has nothing to complain about.
If you don't understand this, you'll die of grievance.
"I don't want to go back, for the first time, I am disgusted by the opulent palaces, the exquisite banquets, Carlos, I will stay at the front to help you."
Khadgar said earnestly.
"You...... Well, an archmage, always useful. ”
Gave up trying to persuade Khadgar to return to Lordaeron, as Carlos found himself in no position to help Khadgar make a decision.
Carlos then explained the completed campaign plan to Khadgar in detail.
"You're not in the right state, Carlos, you're ......"
After truly calming down, Khadgar discovered that Carlos's entire mental state was not calm, but an extremely suppressed euphoria, and if you observed it with an arcane vision, the holy light was about to overflow from Carlos's pores.
"The battle officially began the day after tomorrow, and it is expected to be no more than three days, I don't know how many orcs will die, and the number of casualties among the Alliance's soldiers is optimistically estimated to be no less than 30,000. I haven't learned to be so hard-hearted and see death as a number, so I'll be on the front line, living and dying with the soldiers, and for that, I need to build up my strength. ”
"You ......"
Khadgar was speechless in shock, isn't this just the way the mages used the super magic state before the duel, and the holy light can also play like this?
"Then I discovered one of the benefits of doing so, the Light calms people."
Carlos' smile shone like the stars in the night sky.
