Gavin Rad probably did die.

------ "In Memory of the Real Warriors"

The Undead Scourge has no practical intrigues to break through the barriers, not even a strategy that can be called a military strategy.

There is no flanking attack from both sides, no roundabouts, and no land-air coordination.

A simple word, heap, just take the troops and attack upwards, regardless of casualties.

The attack began at dawn, and before dawn the next day, the barrier fell.

Gavinrad fought to the last moment and died by the sword of Arthas.

Even though he didn't have much hope for the defense line of the Barrier Pass, in Carlos's cognition, if he wanted to break through the Barrier Pass, the Scourge Legion had to send a partial division to play the trick of attacking back and forth.

However, this was not the case, based on a patchwork of information from the soldiers who had fled.

Lordaeron is a treasure land of feng shui, by the mountain and the water of a horse and a flat river, the entire east of the mountain is closed, there is only a barrier pass.

Xiongguan is a real Xiongguan, and the only problem is that the defense facilities are built along the mountain, which cannot accommodate too many garrisons.

Therefore, Carlos decided that as long as the undead natural disaster was attacked from both sides, the barrier level would be defeated.

And then the intelligence that is now being gathered is not like that, and there is a problem with that.

Carlos has also fought for half his life, and he is not a paper theorist on military issues, and if Arthas defeats the barrier of one-sided defense from the front, then it can only prove one thing———— what the Lich King did in Lordaeron greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Undead Scourge.

This is something Carlos has to figure out.

The situation in the country is terrible.

Even after several purges, there are still many hostile elements with disgruntled intentions lurking in Alterac territory.

So Alex. Barov was assassinated more than a dozen times in a matter of days.

Even though Carlos had long thought that his father would be the target of the Scourge of the Dead, he left half of the Knights of the Royal Sect with the Grand Duke Regent.

But only a thousand days to be a thief, where is there a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, the Grand Duke was still injured, and the dagger covered with poison did not kill the Grand Duke, but made him unconscious for five days.

This is also the reason why Carlos has not been able to get domestic aid, and the whole of Alterac seems to be disconnected.

Carlos' henchmen concealed information about the Grand Duke's assassination, and luckily waited until the Grand Duke woke up.

So when the two messengers arrived in Anhador almost at the same time, Carlos almost sent them together for torture.

Not only his own father, but Carlos's wife and children were also abducted and assassinated in Kelldaron.

However, as the old nest of the Barov family, it is more difficult for the enemy to penetrate, and there are fewer forces to be called.

The most critical is Janis. Barov.

The Cursed Sect clearly despised this noble lady who had faded out of the mage world for a long time, and the first hijacking operation, which had the best hope of success, was dragged by Carlos's mother with illusions enough time to wait for the guards.

Then, there were several wonderful assassination attempts, but unfortunately they were all strangled invisibly.

Carlos was not surprised by Uncle Brick's "betrayal", a mage who was able to persist in spell research despite poverty, and a mage who was troubled by his qualifications but was not discouraged, could hardly resist the whispers of the Lich King.

But for Uncle Fang Brick's act of using "betrayal" as a bargaining chip to betray the Lich King again, Carlos never expected it.

It was precisely because of the outstanding performance of this "elite two or five boys" that the Cursed Sect's operation against the Keldaron Lake Fort was completely defeated.

In the face of such feats, sensibility prevailed, and Carlos thought for a long time and couldn't bother to kill this mage advisor who had accompanied him throughout his youth.

So Carlos wrote back, ordering the bricks to come to Anhador immediately from the castle in the heart of the lake of Keldaron to obey his orders.

It's just a domestic dynamic.

After weathering the initial and most threatening chaos, it couldn't get any worse, and when Alterac's state apparatus began functioning normally, it would only get harder for the Scourge to wreak havoc.

At least in Carlos, it's not all bad news.

In the Hillbride Hills, good news is frequent.

The first good news is that the Silver Dawn has not fallen to the west of Lordaeron.

Despite the heavy losses, the veterans led the refugees out of the initial pursuit.

The second piece of good news is that Uther is not an elm pimple after all.

Although it was a hassle to transfer large troops, a medium-sized passenger ship carrying a hundred elite paladins back to Lordaeron was his way of showing his loyalty to the Minethil family.

Across the Baladine Bay, the heavily overloaded medium-sized ship ran out of supplies and had to dock at the town of Nanhai to recuperate, rather than heading north to the port of Lordaeron.

This operation saved two groups of people.

The first batch is naturally the returning Silver Hand Paladins.

This group of paladins, including Mograine, can be said to be the essence of the Silver Hand for twenty years, and it would be a great irony if it was unreasonably damaged in the port controlled by the Scourge in Lordaeron.

The second group is the refugees who went south.

The first 200,000 refugees had a direct impact on the normal order of the hilly terrain of Hillsbrad.

If it weren't for the undead Scourge inexplicably slamming the Wall of Greymane, and the west of Tarenmir without the Scourge Legion fighting, he would be in chaos.

It was the appearance of these paladins that quickly stabilized the mood of the Lordaeron refugees, reminding them that the kingdom still had an expeditionary force to the south.

When hope regains its grip on the heart, panic will eventually recede.

The strategic mistake of the Scourge of the Dead gave the people of the hills of Hillsbrad time to cope, just as Carlos's army left in Arathi finally retreated to Hillsbrad with difficulty, and under the "friendly" persuasion of the old comrades of the Knights of the Silver Hand, the army of 70,000 men was divided into two, and the baggage and infantry wounded returned to Anhadol according to the original plan, and the other part of the elite infantry and cavalry in better condition quickly ran north and collided with the reoriented and southward Scourge legion.

This battle was won cleanly and won Carlos slapping the table and applauding.

Alterac has been fighting for more than 20 years, and after all, he has not raised a group of waste people who eat military rations.

In front of the large army of the formation, the inadequacy of the undead scourge was finally revealed.

The huge tireless undead legion did not have such a numerical advantage in the face of more efficient killing machines, and the terrifying abomination stitch monsters were not cannon fire and ballistas, and the more than 100,000 low-end undead soldiers on the opposite side were not enough to drag Carlos's 30,000 elite corps into a fatigue battle.

The most ridiculous thing is that this Scourge Legion that went south actually lost to the Knights of the Silver Hand in terms of high-end combat effectiveness.

Upon discovering that skeletons and ghouls could not break down the human defenses, the Death Knights mounted their skeleton horses and poured out of their nests, trying to defeat mortals who dared to resist the Lich King with fear.

Thus, this battle gave birth to a legendary title: "Ember Bringer".

Mograini. Alessandro fought alone and became famous.
