Chapter Eighty-Six: Division of Troops
"What kind of support does Nighttown need from us? What are your main problems right now? "Sentinel Ridge's advanced experience, Nightshade Town can't learn or replicate in a short period of time, Vanessa asked about the other party's current situation, knowing what enemy needs to be dealt with, so she can formulate targeted measures.
"Actually, we are not as terrifying as the outside world says, werewolves, undead I can only say that there are, but they are all hidden in the shadows, our problem is the lack of food, lack of treatment, these are our troubles, but the most important thing is the hearts of the people, many townspeople lack the confidence to continue to resist." Miss Commander spoke in a very organized manner, and explained the current situation in a few simple words.
"I see." Vanessa nodded, this is similar to what she knows, if werewolves and undead are everywhere, their night watchmen will not hold out for ten years, there are enemies, but there are not many, the key problem is the environment and people's hearts.
She quickly arranged for Miss Commander to go down to rest, and had a meeting with the old knight, and the two exchanged information about what they had learned.
Lakeside Town is facing the Blackstone Orcs, their problems there are more urgent, and things in Night Town are more relaxed.
How to insure? Where do you start with Bao? It's all up to business.
The old knight's face was grim, but he was actually very relaxed inside.
Finding the enemy and defeating the enemy was the life principle he had pursued for decades before, and he was used to this kind of life, and he was more accustomed to helping others than to being helped by others.
In modern society, this old man is a character who owes favors and can't sleep, Vanessa initially continued to fund Sentinel Ridge, and the old man went out to kill wolves without sleeping in the middle of the night, not only to pay off his debts, but also to sleep indeed.
It's much better now, and in the face of the old rival of the orc, he has never been clearer than ever.
He is not afraid of this kind of enemy, he can see and touch it, a tough battle with a real knife and a real gun, he will die if he cuts off his head, and he will bleed if he a shot, he has been fighting orcs for more than ten years, and he has long been used to it, eating and sleeping and beating orcs, what is this?
The undead are not so optimistic, it is really the undead that do too much damage to humanity and the destruction is too high, there are countless strong and heroes who are overwhelmed by the undead, and in the next moment stand up as undead, wield swords, and kill their former friends and lovers.
In the face of the dead, the easiest thing to change is the human heart. When Berval sent his daughter away, Archbishop Benedictas shook his faith in the Light, and even the old knight returned home after the battle.
They all have a question in their minds, where is the Light when the undead are raging? If everything is the will of the Light, a test of the Light, then this test is too cruel and too ruthless, and those who become undead are also expected by the Light? What bad things have they done that the Light wants to do to them?
The impact of the existence of the undead on these clergy is far beyond imagination, like Archbishop Benedictas directly from one extreme to the other, the old knight is not yet pious to that point, and the weak chicken is not completely useless, at least now he can still make rational judgments.
Since there are still people coming to ask for help in Night Town, it shows that the enemy is cunning, but it has not formed the scale of the overwhelming impression in the inherent impression, and it belongs to the stage that can be suppressed.
"Yeshi Town needs to do a lot of investigation and reassure the people, this aspect is really not my strong point, I am just a veteran, let me fight the war is okay, it is really difficult for me to do civil affairs work.
Let's take three hundred militia each, and I'll go to the rescue of Lakeside Town, there must be a tough battle there, you go to Night Town, where you need to track down the clues of the undead, Miss Struy, what do you think? ”
The old knight thought for a long time, and then slowly spoke.
Although it was okay for the two to be reversed, he was worried that Vanessa had no experience in leading troops, and that the transcendent could indeed lead a local war, but after all, it was not as handy as a veteran like him.
The old knight thought it would be more appropriate to make such a distribution.
"Lakeside and Nighttown, huh...... Okay, I'll take someone to Nighttown. Vanessa nodded in agreement.
She really didn't want to go to Lakeside Town, there were not only orcs in the tribe, but also some orcs who disobeyed the orders of the tribe walked around the Azeroth continent, and now this group of blackstone orcs in Lakeside Town is one of the larger groups, they have a strict hierarchy, have their own cultural heritage and a whole set of social systems, not beasts. Behind the blackstone orcs there is also the black dragon prince on the blackstone mountain, how dangerous this matter is.
Completely opposite to the old knight, she has the advantage of being a prophet and is not afraid of hidden enemies. She has lingering palpitations about the hard battle of real knives and guns, the profession of thieves is not suitable for legion combat, the larger the scale of the battlefield, the more losses, among thousands of troops, surrounded by people, no matter how high the agility is, it is useless, she can only cut hard, her strength will drop by at least three percent, or even more.
Relatively speaking, Nighttown is not in much trouble, those venerable Night's Watch are not corrupted now, they are still like rocks, firmly guarding their land, these people are worthy of respect, trustworthy, help them, pull them into their camp, Vanessa feels that this can be done.
The next day, Vanessa read out the order signed by the Regent of Stormwind Kingdom Berval, and this Southwest Mutual Protection Treaty has become a reality even if it is the original acquiescence.
Send all the equipment given by the kingdom, and the militia can be regarded as a new look. The army of 1,000 men left 400 men to guard the old home, the old knight took 300 men to support Lakeside Town, and Vanessa took 300 men to Nighttown.
There were mostly new recruits in the troops, but they were well equipped, with helmets and armor, spears and bows and arrows, and now the troops officially renamed the Western Wilderness People's Army began their own expeditions to the north and east.
Leaving Sentinel Ridge, Vanessa took the old medicine man, Gaulus, known as a bandage to fight the world, as her lieutenant, in the name of the countryside she found on the road.
The old pharmacist was also a veteran, and he participated in all three major wars. The qualifications are not inferior to those of the old knights, and they are well organized to set up camp, who is responsible for finding the way, who is responsible for taking care of logistics, and who patrols at night.
The popularity of 300 people is not very high, but it is definitely not low.
They are paid, and an ordinary militia will be paid fifty copper coins a month, which is more than farming.
The old knight was a little ashamed to talk about money, so every month Vanessa paid everyone, just like Yuan Xiangcheng in the early years of military training, she took the trouble to personally distribute money to each militiaman, and sometimes encouraged two sentences.
As a result, her prestige in this unit is not low at all, and even the die-hard loyalists of the old knights will not speak ill of her.
