"I am not denying your bravery, on the contrary, this behavior deserves to be recognized. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Locke looked at the officers' somewhat embarrassed faces, and he slowed his tone.

"We are the army, and what is the most important thing about the army? Discipline! Rather than discipline, the prowess of those sitting here is to be put behind, and our duty in battle is to direct the soldiers in battle, relying on the strength of the group to defeat our enemies. ”

"Our enemies, whether they are the Scourge or the Forsaken, are outnumbered by us, and we can only rely on our strengths to make the most of them! in order to defeat these enemies. ”

"What are our strengths?" Locke asked the officer in the room.

"We have brains better than them!?"

A captain raised his hand uncertainly.

"Yes, we are smarter than the Scourge Legion, and we are more sane than the Forsaken." Locke affirmed the captain's answer, and he continued.

"We must make full use of this, and in the process of fighting, rely on the collective strength of the soldiers to resist the impact of the undead, and rely on the collective strength to crush the past, instead of relying on the officers to lead the charge as in the past."

"Here we all have to thank Major Hudson, if he had not reorganized the soldiers at the critical moment and formed a front to push through, then our soldiers would have suffered even more losses."

The officers looked at the old major with grateful smiles on their faces.

Major Hudson stood up when he heard this, "No, no, no, this is not my credit, it is the result of the heroic battle of the soldiers, which also has a lot to do with the charge led by our officers, this behavior greatly boosts the morale of the soldiers, and it also has a deep relationship with the great ability of the lord and commander. ”

Locke waved his hand for Major Hudson to sit down, and then he continued.

"We need to give full play to the role of our officers at every level, and strengthen the control over the soldiers under them, so that they can go wherever they want, just like their own bodies, so that we can avoid fighting in a scattered manner like this battle."

"We..."Looking at the officers below who were looking at him intently, Locke stopped what he wanted to say, but he didn't tell them these things, they were not decision-makers, they could only listen. But it's good to boost morale.

"In my vision, in the future, there will be more troops in our crusaders, there will be more cavalry, there will be an air force, and we can also hire goblins and gnomes to make all kinds of engineering bombs to deal with the undead, these things are very powerful, and the low cost is a good thing to deal with the undead."

"And so on, and so on, as long as it's good for us Lordaeron, we all need it."

Locke briefly said his vision for the future development of the army, and the officers below are contemplatives, everyone is not stupid, everyone knows these things, but with the current Lordaeron, I am afraid it is difficult to achieve.

"Alright, that's all for today." High Lord Mograini stood up, "The companies are doing their own thing. Sergeant Major Norris, your scout company, keep an eye on the Scourge on the mountain, and report any movements. ”

"The reconstruction of the town of Gallen can be put on hold, and the manpower can be used to cut down trees nearby to set up camps, this time there are a lot of Fourth Legion and upcoming refugees, we must prioritize the establishment of camps first, to ensure that they can escape the cold in such a cold winter month."

"Finally." High Lord Mograini paused, scanning all the officers in the room.

"Thank you."

High Lord Mograini raised his hand and saluted all of you.

After these days of recovery, the big lord's complexion finally got better, and no one knew the pain in his heart, maybe he wanted to open it at this moment.

Eventually, the officers rushed out, leaving Locke in the house.

"Kid, there are things that weren't told to you, and you probably don't know." The Grand Lord Mograini smiled bitterly, and smiled very reluctantly.

"At the height of our Lordaeron's glory, there were millions of people scattered throughout the kingdom in the provinces. Intramuros alone has a permanent population of more than 300,000. In the aftermath of the natural disaster, the number of dead and wounded in the royal city of Lordaeron reached more than 200,000, and some of them had previously followed Miss Gianna Proudmore to the continent of Kalimdor by boat, where the human city of Theramore was founded. ”

"And after the catastrophe, there were some survivors of the Lordaeron, who traveled along the outskirts of Andorhar to the Hillsbrad Hills and the Arathi Highlands via the Frozen Hills, where some settled and some sailed to the Stormwind Kingdom in the town of Southsea."

"Actually, we Crusaders don't control that much of the population right now."

The Great Lord said what he was smiling wryly at once.

...... Locke was speechless

I feel that I am taking care of myself, but I didn't expect that there are not many civilians in the hands of the current crusaders!

"That's... How many civilians are there in the area under our control? Locke asked helplessly.

"In the vast land of Tirisfal Glade, there are more than a dozen large and small towns, each with nearly tens of thousands of people. And that's not even counting the smaller mountain villages. Before the disaster, the population was about hundreds of thousands. Now there are just over 70,000 civilians in Gadar, which is almost all the surviving civilians in the Tirisfar. According to reports from local posts, very few refugees have been gathering recently. ”

"In the East Lordaeron City of Fireplace Valley, there were more than 50,000 people living there. After the natural disaster, there were only more than 100,000 civilians now, and before the natural disaster, the population of Eastern Lordaeron reached more than 600,000! ”

"Shhh Locke gasped.

It turns out that the largest number of troops now is the Scourge Legion, and it is conservatively estimated that there must be more than 500,000! Not to mention that Arthas has killed all the way from here to Silvermoon City!

If this is the case, then there are many forsaken in Sylvanas's hands, nearly 200,000......

The total number of humans in the Tirisfara Glade is now less than 100,000, including 24,000 standing soldiers.

24,000: 200,000? Or cut 100,000 in half?

Fortunately, Sylvanas has no intention of fully occupying the Tirisfal Glade now, and if Sylvanas pulls out his hand now and cleans up the Tirisfal Glade, I'm afraid the Crusaders will have to retreat into the stronghold...

As for the Crusaders in the Valley of the Hearth, don't think about it.

Compared to Tirisfa, the situation in Eastern Lordaeron is more complicated, the Scourge Legion there is powerful, and it is far from being matched by the Crusaders, and the Grand Commander Dassault Khan and the Great General Abidis are afraid that they will not be able to spare their hands to help this side.

"As the population under our control grows, so does our logistics, our soldiers scavenge the ruins to buy food and minerals from the goblins, to produce armor and weapons, and it is already the limit of Gadar to support six legions, and sometimes we have to sell some treasures from the monastery to maintain military supplies."

The Grand Lord Mograini said worriedly.

Alas, after talking for a long time, it turned out that he was painting cakes to satisfy his hunger.

Do you want to gather all the forces of the Crusaders and stabilize Tirispha's side first? The idea is very good, it's just that the fireplace valley doesn't want it?

But why didn't the Crusaders capture Tyre?

Doesn't it always seem to me that the Hand of Tyre has always been the domain of the Crusaders? The later Northern Expedition Scarlet Crusaders also left there, why is there no news from the Crusaders now?

"That's... High Lord, don't we have news of the Hand of Tyr, the third largest city in Lordaeron? Locke asked, confused.

"The Scourge has cut off the connection to the eastern part of Eastern Lordaeron, where the Scourge has placed heavy troops on the Sodoril River, splitting the whole of Eastern Lordaeron in two, and we don't even know what is going on there. We don't know what the Scourge is trying to do over there. High Lord Mograini shook his head.

Well, it seems that the form is extremely unfavorable to the humans of Lordaeron, but in my impression, the first two years of the Crusaders were still very smooth, and even Sylvanas was suppressed in Lordaeron.

The decline of the Crusaders seems to have been due to the attack on Stratholme, when the Grand Commander Dasuol Khan was possessed by the Dreadlord Banazar after devouring his soul, and then lured Renault to kill his father, the Great Lord, and then the Crusaders began to decline.

If that's the case, I should have two more years to go, and now it's been less than half a year since I crossed over!

Combined with what Major Hudson said, the Forsaken had no intention of clashing with the Crusaders, and when they attacked Gallon, they didn't even have to wait and see, and retreated directly to the ruins of Carlstone Manor.

Why is that?

Locke looked down at the map and thought.

"Don't think too much about the children, these are not up to us to decide now, let's take one step at a time." The Grand Lord patted him on the shoulder.

"Go get some rest, you're tired these days."

"It doesn't matter." Locke raised his head and smiled at the old man in front of him, he was looking at himself with concern.

"The Crusaders are to me like my second life, and I will not let anyone hurt them." Locke said with a little seriousness.

"Good, it looks like you're ready to take on more responsibility. Maybe you can take on those responsibilities too. The Grand Lord smiled and affirmed him.

Oh? What this means...

Moham!

Locke's eyes lit up!

He looked up at the Great Lord excitedly, but the latter shook his head with a smile.

Locke walked out of the door of the headquarters.

A pretty figure was waiting for him outside the door.

"Hey! You! Come here! In front of the guards at the door, Norris said very politely.

Locke looked up and swept around, and saw that the elf was indeed calling himself.

Broken! I just said it, but I didn't expect Norris to be stubble!

Locke followed Norris with affection, and came to the corner of a house that staggered the guards' line of sight.

"Tell me, when did I say those things." Noris's face was cold, without any color, and the originally carefully crafted face now looked so heart-wrenching.

Locke beat a drum in his heart and apologized honestly, "I'm sorry, I also want to inspire them by saying this, and I don't mean to deceive you, or to degrade your race, if you think I really cheated on you and make you feel very uncomfortable, I can do whatever you want, I will never fight back." ”

Excuse me, apologize honestly.

Norris looked at Locke, who bowed his head and apologized, the color on her face changed for a moment, and finally she lowered her head and stretched out her hand.

"Give it to me." The voice was delicate and gentle, compared to the indifference just now, it was simply not a person.

Locke swished his head up, a little dumbfounded at the change in the elves.

"What for you?" He asked, surprised.

"What do you say! What did I put on you that day?! Norris looked up and said angrily, her face flushed, and she habitually opened her mouth and began to grind her tiger teeth.

Her eyes were staring at Locke viciously.

Do you want to hack my cloak?!!

"Oh? You said that cloak, I'll put it..."Locke looked at the angry and angry High Elf in front of him, and said in a ghostly manner. "Oh, I thought it was Hayley's, so I gave it back to her!" Locke said with a pretended lightheartedness.

"What! You gave my cloak to someone else! Norris was furious.

She took a few steps forward, leaning slightly against Locke's chest, grabbing the blue scarf around Locke's neck on tiptoe, looking up at the creature that annoyed him, not noticing the ambiguity of the posture.
