By the time Carlos received the report of Hillsbrad's victory, Arthas had removed all obstacles from the Scourge and was faced with a route choice.

To the east, it is Stratholme, and to the south, it is Anhador.

Carlos, who had no strategic choice, could only wait patiently for Alsace to make a choice.

Hillsbrad's victory can only show that Carlos, as a professional military strategist, made a correct judgment, and he has grasped the advantages and disadvantages of the undead scourge.

A professional conductor is to dare to make judgments!

But does this have anything to do with whether Anhadol can withstand the onslaught of Alsace?

There is no relationship between half a copper child.

The Undead Scourge relies on a strong ability to increase its number of troops, and has a natural numerical advantage in warfare, but in terms of troop mobility and physical lethality, it is actually not very good.

Therefore, after Alterac's elite legion harvested a large number of "highly mobile" ghouls with artillery and bed crossbows, the cavalry brigade used a hundred methods to destroy the white sea of skeletons.

The premise of all this is not Carlos's wisdom and martial arts, but the existence of the Kingdom of Alterac.

The biggest variable brought by the existence of Carlos to the Lordaeron continent of this timeline is the continuation of a sovereign state.

After the fall of Lordaeron, the essence of the kingdom of Lordaeron was transformed into a ghost realm, and the century-old savings of the Minahill family were used by the Lich King, and millions of people in the kingdom of Lundanlun became potential soldiers of the Scourge of the Dead.

This desperate situation is more terrible than any weapon.

The remnants of Lordaeron's army, which had lost the city of Lordaeron, had to rely on the stocks of the various armories to fight the sporadic supplies of the village blacksmiths.

It is obviously the regular army of the kingdom, but it can only fight in the way of guerrillas.

This was the effect of Arthas's father-killing———— which crushed the order of the kingdom of Lordaeron.

But at this time, the kingdom of Alterac still stands on the snowy field, weapons, food, clothing, everything needed for war is constantly produced under the order led by the Barov family, and humanity is still separated from the real despair by a whole Anhador.

The biggest difference from earthlings is that the humans of Lordaeron did not evolve from the terrifying Homo erectus.

Before the spirit was crushed, the humans of the Lordaeron Continent were by no means physically weak.

On the contrary, more than 20 years of peace have lazy the spirit of the younger generation, and a prosperous life has also forged their strong bodies.

In just a few days, Carlos urgently recruited 20,000 young men around Anhador.

With the fall of the barriers, the situation became complicated by the evacuation of large numbers of residents to Hearthvale, Anhador, and Stratholm.

Tirio. Fordin's decisiveness, coupled with the special terrain of Fireplace Valley, made it impossible for the Scourge to capture this place anytime soon.

But Carlos is very important for Tirio. Fording didn't expect much, more than a decade was enough time to change too much, and a former lord who had been deprived of all political rights could hardly do much in a closed environment like Hearthvale.

Therefore, there are only two focuses of the Scourge Legion, eastward or southward.

Either ignore Anhador and drive all the way to the area of Stratholm, or run over Anhador and destroy the kingdom of Alterac and drive Stratholm for a long time.

Carlos asked himself if he was the Lich King, and if he would choose to ignore Anhador, and directly convert all the millions of people in the Stratholme region into an undead scourge would take much less time than the capture of the kingdom of Alterac.

Because of Terenus. Minethil II's long-standing policy of strengthening the ranks and weakening the branches has not only created the treasure of Lordaeron, but also weakened the local power.

Stratholme's loose dominance was simply not enough to unite the forces before the Scourge arrived, and the city of Stratholme was unlikely to withstand the Prince's forces.

But Carlos is not the Lich King, he has a feeling that Arthas will come to Anhador.

This feeling is very strong, and it has the flavor of electrocardiogram between strong people.

Well, it's actually uneasy.

Carlos's strategy of exchanging space for time has failed in a sense.

Anhador was not prepared for the frontal onslaught of the undead Scourge.

War is such a thing, and how to boast and boost the morale of the organization can be summed up by strengthening the morale of the army, but in terms of combat preparation, there is no room for any water injection.

From the barrier to Anhador, because there are well-repaired roads for carriages and horses, it is only a ten-day journey for normal human walking.

Although the undead do not move as well as the living, they take longer to march than the living, which means that the undead will not be much slower to arrive.

If digging a trench and setting up a post can stop the Scourge Legion, then the barrier will not fall.

Carlos knows very well that if you want to war an army of the undead, you need artillery, you need bed crossbows, you need griffin knights, you need mages, you need huge military power and high-end combat power.

These......

Anhadol didn't.

As an agricultural development zone, apart from food and population, there are really no other elements needed for the war.

After Daddy Alex woke up, he immediately dispatched the inventory of the armory in Alterac City and sent it to Anhadol urgently.

It can only be said that the water and grass on the Alterac Plateau raise horses, and the number of large livestock is sufficient, which not only ensures the number of Alterac cavalry, but also provides sufficient animal power for transportation.

At least Garithers' Lordaeron Legion has completed its redress.

This is very important, no matter how great the potential of mankind is, it is inappropriate to go to war without military training after all, and the possible defense of Anhador will still rely on the regular army of Garissus to act as the main force after all.

Things are improving, and while half of his army is stranded at Hillsbrad, the other half is on its way.

Once his own army was in place, Carlos had the confidence to fight the undead natural disaster.

To use a cliché, this is the darkest hour before dawn.

Hillsbrad's victory at least ensured that production in and around Tarummir would not be interrupted, and if Anhador could be saved, then Alterac would have made a lot of money.

Despite this wishful thinking, Carlos was ready to abandon Anhador and retreat to the Alterac Plateau.

It's just that this kind of thing can't be spoken.

Do your best.

Every day, new trenches and new outposts were erected, and with the influx of refugees, plague and intelligence followed.

Carlos is not surprised by this, without the need for refugees to spread the plague, is this still the Scourge Legion?

Silver Dawn's powerful blows for more than a year have finally taken its toll on the Undead Scourge, at least when it comes to plague infection, the Lich King is much behind.

Those who can be treated, and those who can't be treated in isolation are good.

In Anhador, where the organization has not yet collapsed, the actual threat of the plague is not even as damaging as the panic caused by the plague contagion.

Five days after the news of the fall of the barriers, more concrete information finally arrived.

A veteran who witnessed the whole process of Gavin Rader's death in the final counterattack, fell off a cliff, fortunately survived, and made a difficult trek to Anhador, just to bring Carlos an information.

"Death Knights, Death Knights, thousands of Death Knights!"
