Chapter 166: Bad News
In December of the 25th year of the Black Gate, except for the return of the king for two days, all I heard was bad news.
And on December 12, the sixth day of the king's return, the Black Dragon Princess unleashed a fatal blow against the Stormwind Kingdom.
I don't know what orders the countess passed on to the front army, MI7 agents investigated many times, only to know that the messenger angered the Grand Duke of Berval, and the envoy's guards and the Grand Duke's loyal men fought.
The generals loyal to the king wanted Bolval to hand over the military power, but Bolval's men believed that there was a conspiracy and the two sides were at loggerheads.
The Black Iron Dwarf is like an unpredictable prophet, taking advantage of the chaos of the human army's command system, he launched a general attack on the human side very accurately, and the fire element army in the Molten Heart also poured out, and the two sides attacked inside and outside, Bolval fought to the death, but the result was still unable to return to the sky, and he was defeated and lost, because the back road was cut off, he could only escape into the depths of the Molten Heart with his cronies.
The Third, Fifth, and Sixth Legions were all devastated, with a large number of officers and enlisted men killed, and countless more soldiers captured by the Black Iron Dwarves.
The human rout also affected the dwarves, and the dwarves of the Copperbeard tribe had to retreat to the Iron Forge, and large swathes of the dwarven kingdom were occupied by the Black Iron Dwarves.
Under the communication of the caring people, the Black Iron Dwarf and the Black Stone Orcs have achieved a certain degree of reconciliation.
The Blackstone Orcs borrowed from the Black Iron Dwarves to bypass the heavily defended positions and sneak up on Lakeside Town. The Stallman Knight was killed in battle, and as Lakeside was breached, a large number of human civilians poured into Elwyn Forest and Shining Gold.
The old knight's men only salvaged a torn silver-scaled breastplate and a knight's sword broken in two.
Vanessa cried for two days, real or fake, removing the old knight's disgraceful role in Da Fan's death, this person is actually quite good, it's a pity.
The situation that was originally dominant on the human side became dangerous in an instant, the owners of the Black Iron Dwarves and the Black Stone Orcs were different, but they attacked separately with a tacit understanding, which made the army defend against the undead on the northern front, and the Storm Kingdom, which was empty in the hinterland of the country, suddenly became precarious.
The Little Prince Anduin. Sensing that something was wrong, Wryon urgently contacted Vanessa, and someone, who was also a little confused at this time, immediately agreed to be the contact.
The Brotherhood's power was also dealt a blow, and after a lot of effort, most of the most wanted ministers were finally brought together, and Vanessa and Lieutenant Thorne joined forces to bring the little prince out of the palace, and everyone gathered together at the Northshire Abbey outside Stormwind.
Before the meeting, Vanessa was still comforting her cheap big sister.
The eldest princess of Jialia was very sad: "It's all my fault, I'm a sinful person, it's me who brought bad luck to the Stormwind Kingdom, I shouldn't come back!" ”
Seeing that the originally powerful Storm Kingdom instantly became stormy, the eldest princess had been crying for several days, Vanessa reasoned with the facts, and finally used the excuse of being in the same boat to appease the eldest sister who was particularly crying.
The little prince Anduin was the last to arrive, and he was very sad, his face was full of anxiety at this time, and he couldn't wait to ask as soon as he entered the door.
"You are all important ministers of the kingdom, do you have a way to solve the current crisis? What's going on on over there at Blackstone Mountain? Who is our enemy now? Can anyone tell me? ”
What happened during this period of time made him extremely confused, but he is no longer a king now, just a prince, he has no power in his hands, internal and external troubles, he can only gather these important ministers on the wanted list together to discuss, he believes in the ability of these important ministers, maybe there are some people who are not very good character, but it is impossible to be 100% of them traitors, this is outrageous!
He looked at the intelligence chief, who claimed to be loyal to the country, and hoped that the other party would have the answer he wanted to know.
Madias. Shore said that it was true that his MI7 was powerful, but in order to prevent the ruler from being jealous, the organization had been divided into several factions to contain each other, and he also acquiesced in this form of existence.
It would be dangerous for an intelligence agency to be monolithic internally, and he has been careful to maintain the internal balance and make this force available to the state. But now that he has lost the name of this leader, MI7 is out of control in an instant, and he can't mobilize many people except for some cronies.
"All I know is that we have completely lost the battle in Blackstone Mountain, the Black Iron Dwarves and the Fire Elemental army are now wreaking havoc in that area, and the whereabouts of the Grand Duke of Berval are unknown."
Seeing that no one spoke to the intelligence leader, Vanessa also talked about the news from her side: "Lakeside Town has been lost, and the Blackstone Orcs have bypassed our defensive positions. Sheriff Stallman has been killed, the Wild West People's Army has suffered heavy losses, and now the remnants of the army are retreating to the town of Shining Gold, and further news needs to wait for the scouts to report back. ”
As a representative of the military, Leo Rick. Feng. Duke Zeldiger also talked about the problem on his side: "The army used to defend against the undead on the northern front has not been supplied with food and grass for a month. ”
As if worried that the little prince did not know what it meant, he also explained two sentences: "The front-line commander has the habit of storing grain and grass, but definitely not too much. I'm afraid they won't be able to survive this month, and Stormwind must immediately allocate supplies to the front line, or the soldiers will ......"
An army without food and grass, even if the number exceeds a million, is useless, and once the hungry human soldiers encounter a large-scale attack by the enemy, the end can only be a dead word.
The little prince did not make any panicked moves, he had a more stable mind the more he encountered major events.
He spoke slowly: "The royal family has a batch of supplies for urgent affairs, I want to find a way to transport them out, Duke Zeldiger, are you willing to go to the front line to stabilize the situation?" ”
The duke immediately nodded: "If there is grain and grass, I will definitely be able to stabilize the situation, but how can we transport it?" ”
Vanessa scratched her head: "Okay, my fleet is still in the Wild West, I can come over to help with the transportation, but now that the Royal Guard has blocked the docks, I can't bombard the port, right?" ”
"My men can lure the guards away." The intelligence chief spoke slowly.
There are ships, people, and supplies, and the front line is settled.
"The threat of the undead does not seem as great as imagined now, the duke can gradually ......" The little prince really wanted to withdraw the army on the northern front to defend Stormwind City, that front was too long, and there were too many troops arranged, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't dare to give such an order, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, what if the undead suddenly went south? He didn't dare to bet.
