Chapter 151: Assemble
Duane fell into thought, Unas looked at the bored Angela, and took the Hearthstone out of his bag, "This is the Hearthstone I used before, but I don't know why it can't be used, Miss Angela can you help me take a look?" ”
The female mage took the oval gray stone, observed and groped for a while, and said, "I don't see any problems for a while, so bring it back to me to study." ”
"Of course, please."
At this time, Duane finally finished thinking about it, and asked suspiciously: "With all due respect, your words reveal great confidence in this battle, but the many battle records of Silver Dawn before have proved that the giant spiders are difficult, I want to ask your lordship, where does this confidence come from?" ”
The meaning of the words was to ask the new garrison officer to give him some confidence, Unas thought about it, and simply gave them the answer, "I controlled the two overlord spiders. ”
The three people in front of him did not show the shock that Unas expected, and Erigor wondered: "I seem to have heard that this is a very ferocious spider, is there anything strange about it, what is the use of controlling only two ends?" ”
The other two mages also had curious expressions, and Unas had no choice but to bring out the troll's rhetoric: "It is the overlord of the spiders, and it only acts alone every day, but as long as the spiders are assembled on a large scale, the overlord spider is the natural leader, and I control their commander, so I don't need to say more about the role this can play in the war, right?" ”
Angela nodded, "If what you're saying is true, it's a very favorable condition. ”
"Of course what I said is true, I can take you to see it now."
Du An said: "Forget it if it's too late today, of course we believe you, my lord." ”
"If you need more faith, come back tomorrow morning and see for yourself how I train those alien captives," Unas boasted, "whether orcs, trolls, or gnolls, they can only obey my orders before me, and they have doubled my military power, which is one of the sources of my confidence." ”
Erigor asked: "We have also heard about this matter, how did you kid subdue them, I can't imagine why the captives who were unshackled and armed did not dare to resist, did their temperament become docile overnight?" ”
"There are some people in this world who are born with an imposing aura that is called a leader temperament," Unas casually began to blow the comparison, "Maybe it is the invisible domineering aura in my body that suppresses them, this kind of thing is indescribable to anyone." ”
Erigor didn't give me the slightest sneer, "You don't give me any, and tell us how you did it." ”
"Well, I'll tell you my conjectures," Unas began to make up the story again, "After the battle at Cheshui Lake, I found out that they were very afraid of me when I was escorting the captives, I didn't think much about it at the time, but the more I came to work here and came into contact with them, I gradually realized that all the people who had been controlled by Bethrius were afraid of me, you know, I was the one who killed the Dreadlord King, maybe the demon's spiritual power was inherited by me." ”
The three people on the opposite side looked at each other, and Du An said, "I've never heard of this kind of statement. ”
"Now that you hear that," Unas didn't want to say any more on the subject, "anyway, it's just my guess, we don't have to investigate what the real cause is, the facts are in our favor." ”
Angela laughed, "I thought you were a mage, this kind of pragmatism is not like what a paladin should be." ”
Unas retorted: "I'm a paladin, but my more important identity is the garrison here, how can I protect everyone in such a difficult environment if it's not practical?" ”
His words are a bit of a rebellion, the Creed of the Holy Light should be the highest code of conduct for paladins, and his use of demonic means to control captives is indeed pragmatism, but according to the standards of the Inquisition, it is a crime to be burned at the stake.
Erigor coughed dryly and reminded: "Some words are better in our hearts than in words, and we can all understand them." ”
"Very well," Unas thanked him first, and then said, "I have told you all my cards, what your answer is." ”
The two masters glanced at each other, and Du An said, "We can help you, but there is an additional condition, lend us the Arenal - Fire Leaf for a period of time, and also, except for the blood elves, thirty percent of the output of the crystal mine will be ours." ”
Did Duane not learn math well? This is obviously two conditions, and he also said before that he would exchange materials for crystals, but now he directly wants to occupy them for nothing, of course Unas can't agree, "The fire leaf can be lent to you, but not for more than a month, the crystal mine is at most one percent, and the rest must be exchanged for materials, this is my bottom line." ”
Duane stared into Unas's eyes, and the new garrison also looked at him firmly and unwaveringly, and the Arcane knew that the other party was serious, and stood up and stretched out his hand, "That's it, we'll make up our minds." ”
Unas also stood up and held his hand: "A word is a certainty. ”
……
Two days passed quickly, and by dawn, all the combatants had assembled in the stronghold, except for the two Overlord Spiders and their controllers.
Unas had planned to give a speech to motivate the army, but a troll and two gnolls suddenly scuffled, ruining his mood, cutting off their heads and offering the flag.
The vanguard he personally led consisted of Lent's Centur and four captive centurions, surrounded by Whitemayne, Erigor, Colfax, Archmage Angela, and several members of the Brotherhood of Light, and of course, the elite squad led by Marcus and Raphael's personal guard would not be left behind.
Duane brought five of his students from the Mage Academy, and the Blood Elves also used all the fire element crystals to temporarily restore the strength of the seven middle and low-level mages.
The old earl himself came with the few remaining family guards to protect his wayward daughter, and Unas didn't want others to think that he was bullying the elderly, so he placed Helen in the reserve at the rear, which made Xiao Nizi, who considered herself the commander's arcane advisor, angry enough.
Unas had no choice but to play his expertise and tell Helen the importance of the reserves, which fooled her for the time being.
In the past two days, all the rangers of the blood elves have been dispatched, and they have already explored the general location of the spiders within five kilometers of the red stone monument, so Unas adopted the second risky and radical tactic, he led the vanguard to advance quickly, and then the rear army pressed the fixed point to eliminate the spiders who had not yet had time to assemble, and when the two armies joined forces, they only had to face the enemy outside the New Boundary Monument.
