Oryx listened to it and understood.

Alexandros Mograini is to lead a force to the northern pass of Gilneth to set up a defensive line to stop the undead from the territory of Gilneys. It was the site of the gates of the Greymane Wall, the only land access to the Gilneth Peninsula, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As long as it is blocked, the tide of corpses in Gilneth will not be able to merge with the tens of thousands of undead in the northern lands along the line from Burning Wood Village to Ambermir, and the threat to the Northland will be greatly reduced.

Due to the suggestion of Orrix, the Lordaeron Kingdom, which had been prepared for a long time, adopted a combat strategy that was tantamount to "clearing the wilderness" for the Scourge Legion, that is, evacuating civilians quickly, so that the scale of the Scourge Legion's corpse tide could not be expanded;

The tens of thousands of newly revived walking corpses in the southern part of the Silver Pine Forest will not be able to catch up with the civilians who have already begun to evacuate when they move north, and at most they will be stopped by the Lordaeron forces who have set up a defensive line to move to the border with the Tirisfard Woodlands.

Dalaran and the northern militia forces of Gilneth will also do their best to stop the eastward advance of this small wave of corpses, and when the Lordaeron reinforcements in the direction of Hillsbrad arrive, these tens of thousands of walking corpses will be completely blocked in the Silver Pine Forest.

It has to be said that Mograini's idea is excellent.

If this operation can be successful, the zombie tide in Gilneth will be firmly locked inside, and the whole of the Northland will not be threatened.

But this is not just as simple as nine deaths and one life, but it should be said that there is no life for ten.

They must fight their way through the tens of thousands of walking corpses to reach the northern pass of Gilneys, relying on the nascent Greymane Wall, to hold out until the arrival of a large friendly army.

During this time, they will be deeply encircled, facing the onslaught of corpses in Gilneth in front of them, and tens of thousands of undead in their backs.

However, this is the best way to minimize the threat of a horde.

"It's going to be a very difficult task," Oryx said softly, "and I'm afraid it's going to cost a lot of people." ”

Mograine's expression showed the fortitude of a paladin who should have taken on the heaviest duties, and said, "But if you want to minimize the threat of the corpse tide, this is the best way. We are not afraid of sacrifice, and if our sacrifice can be exchanged for the safety of more people, then it will be worth it.

I have summoned members of the Order from all over the country. After daybreak, no less than five hundred paladins should have gathered in Ambermere.

At that time, we will set off. Kill the northern pass of Gilneth. ”

Oryx frowned and asked, "How many people are there?" ”

Mograine groaned for a moment and replied, "We can't take too many soldiers, or the Ambermir Line will not be able to withstand the onslaught of corpses...... Seven hundred paladins, with five hundred soldiers, for a total of about two hundred. ”

Aurex frowned, and couldn't help but look at the Dalaran mages standing in the crowd.

For this force that is about to die generously......

Probably the only thing that is fortunate is that it is close to Dalaran. Dalaran, for his part, can provide support through teleportation magic, whether it is armament supplies or small reinforcements.

At this moment, Lord Darius Crolley suddenly said, "The elite troops under my command before were following your silver hand and closely monitoring the settlements in the north.

The plague broke out so suddenly, and they probably won't survive much. But those who survive will come to Ambermere to join me, and it is expected that ...... Two thousand.

I will lead these two thousand men with you. ”

This great lord, who had always been at odds with the king, added two thousand to the number of one thousand two, which somewhat inspired the members of the Silver Hand present.

Everyone knows that the soldiers under Darius are the most elite troops in Gilneis. As early as more than ten years ago, during the second war, he formed this "Gilneth Brigade", intending to send troops to fight the orcs together, but unfortunately was blocked by the king and failed to make the trip.

Since then, the unit has been training on a par with a regular army. Thanks to the good economic situation in the north of Gilneys, their equipment is much better than that of the regular army of Lordaeron, which can only make do with the obsolete armaments of two or three years ago, but they lack actual combat experience.

Oryx took a deep breath and said, "Let me go too." ”

Mograine frowned, as did Fairbanks next to him.

But it was Bridget's father, General Alfred Abydis, who was the first to stop him: "Lord Hand of the King, your heart of service to the country can be seen, but your wounds have not healed, so you should stay here and command the defense." ”

There was a bit of personal affection in the words.

Oryx knew that his friendship with Bridget had long been known to this father. This is because the father of his best friend does not want to risk his own life.

But he shook his head.

"It's true that my injuries haven't fully recovered. But even if I can't fight, I'm a powerful divine spellcaster, a powerful priest. ”

Mograini looked at him deeply, trying to dissuade him again, but seemed to swallow it back, and finally only nodded heavily.

When I saw the Grand Lord Darius Crowley of Oryx for the first time, I couldn't help but look at him again, as if I had a feeling that "there is no vanity under the fame", and when I met his eyes, I also bowed my head slightly to show recognition.

"Alright then, let's go rest! In a few hours, the corpse tide will arrive. Trying to keep our spirits up in these few hours, we have to hold on until dawn and kill together! Mograini slapped the table and said aloud.

The battle meeting had come to an end, and everyone was about to leave, and Gianna, who had been standing in the crowd, finally spoke.

"Please wait a minute......"

Beside Gianna stood Lady Jandis Barov, who had been non-existent, as if she were really just a "bodyguard captain" who was quietly carrying out her duties to protect the prophet, but it seemed as if she had just whispered something to Gianna, offered some advice, or gave some guidance.

Everyone looked at Gianna.

When it came to marching and fighting, the nations never looked to Dalaran. The reason is that, except for the high-end combat power affiliated with the Kenrito Council, most of the remaining Dalaran mages are just scholars who have no actual combat experience and know nothing about strategy, tactics, and combat.

Although some time ago, Dalaran had already launched in-depth cooperation with the Silver Hand and continued to investigate the Scourge Legion in the north, but under the inertial thinking, people still ignored them and did not take these mages into account at all.

Gianna blinked, as if calculating something, before she spoke, "This is close to the magic net node in Dalaran, and I can use the magic net energy to build a large portal to the northern pass of Gilneth before dawn.

The specific number of passes...... I can't give a definite number for the time being, but it should be possible to send a few hundred people in batches in a day. This can help you get past the tens of thousands of walking corpses that have come your way. ”

"Great, thank you for your help, Your Highness!" The crowd rejoiced.

Oryx was also a little surprised, as he didn't know anything about magic.

I have always had a preconceived belief that Dalaran in this era is far inferior to the Dalaran who won the battle of the Demon Pivot and obtained a lot of Azeroth's most advanced magical knowledge from the Blue Dragon Clan during the "Wrath of the Lich King" period in the later generations.

It is impossible to have the ability to teleport troops on a large scale right now, so Dalaran is not taken into account at all. At most, they can provide some offensive magical support.

Unexpectedly, Gianna could help.

Come to think of it, she is Antonidas's most proud apprentice, and she is one of the few mages in this era who has mastered the almost instantaneous "group teleportation technique".

And teleportation magic is the cornerstone of this magical spell. In other words, Gianna is the number one "teleporter" in the entire Dalaran.

As long as there is enough energy, it seems that it is not difficult to erect a large portal that can accommodate hundreds of people.

"But I need to go over there and measure it before I can start erection." Gianna said again.

Everyone looked at each other and quickly deliberated.

They just happened to need to go over to scout the situation of the northern pass of Gilneys, and they quickly decided on the candidate.

Oryx would lead several young paladins and accompany Gianna.
