Chapter 1228: The Situation in Orgrimmar
In Lu Xi's memory, in the memory of his two lives, there was actually no experience of howling and crying. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Whether it was the "previous life" who was still in Lanxing's hometown, the mother suddenly left without warning; Or now, in just one day, he has lost two roles equivalent to fathers in a row.
He still remembered what his mother had said to himself before leaving: "No matter what, boy, you can't let people see your sorrow, and you can't let me, who is already lying in the coffin, see your sorrow." It's cool or indifferent, but it's what I ask of you! ”
So, at that time, he may not have graduated from secondary school and second disease, and he really didn't shed a single tear. But then, someone told him that he should cry when he should cry, laugh when he should laugh, go with the flow, go with the flow, conform to fate, and of course, more importantly, the most important thing in life is to be happy. Crying is actually a kind of happiness.
And the one who told himself all this is standing beside him now. Lu Xi looked at Tidlet? Lin Ge, if Daddy Tifario and Mr. Orucello fill the role of "father" that he lacked in his life, Tidlight may be playing a second role that is infinitely close to "mother", right? …… Well,It seems that there's something wrong with that.,It should be said that it's an unobtrusive.,But it's a very reliable sister that's about the same, right?
However, this is the loved one.
So, what Lu Xi really cried in his memory was after he volunteered to secretly infiltrate to collect intelligence and blend into the slave trading team. He stabbed the leader of the slave traders, named "Black Hand Lyman", into shreds with a dagger, and then fell to the ground and wept bitterly. However, even this kind of pain is completely different from the heart-rending howl and no crying that many people imagine. Although his tears completely blurred his vision, he didn't even make a sound, just silently wept, silently gritted his teeth, and silently ...... Plans for the future are brewing.
“…… You may not really realize that you were at that time, and you are now, the eyes are exactly the same. Sister Tido sighed faintly: "This is the most patient, the most planned and action-oriented, the most terrible avenger's eyes that completely suppress all the sadness, pain, anger and hatred in his heart. This is like a volcano that has been dormant for 10,000 years, and once it erupts, it will be a catastrophe that will destroy the world and destroy the world! Little Luxi, I came all the way from Norda, but I didn't want to see you like this! ”
"You're a bit of a freelance witness. The eyes are metaphysical or something, and they can't be regarded as evidence at all. My reaction was normal, and no one could see what was wrong. Lu Xi wiped away his tears, then shrugged his shoulders, looking at the obvious sadness in the other party's eyes, he couldn't help but sigh covertly, and said slowly: "...... Sister Tido, I am still the same person I was back then, there is no doubt about it. It's just that I already have the strength, and I finally don't have to wait for more than ten years like I did back then. ”
“…… Is that why you stationed that army near Fort Hearth? She asked.
“…… They had come to train abroad and conduct normal combat exercises with their dwarven allies. There are few people in the federal land, and a perfect training ground with mountains, woodlands, grasslands, and snow-capped mountains is almost non-existent, so we are grateful for the generosity of our dwarven allies, and are willing to pay a certain amount of compensation and land rent. Lu Xi smiled slightly: "At least, my superiors, the Federal Senate, the Military Department, and everyone in the ruling committee approve of it." ”
"You...... I'm really starting to wonder if the choice to let you go with Orucello was right or wrong. ”
"You respected and supported my idea of gaining strength, and found me a final teacher, at least for my life, nothing could be more right."
"That's where I regret it. You're obviously a heartless little villain who wants to eat and wait for death, and you're careless and cynical in everything you do, even if you want revenge, you'll never do stupid things like hitting a stone with an egg. Before you have absolute power, you will choose forbearance and planning. But now, you have the power, the power for everyone to look at, maybe you'll gradually become a person I don't know anymore, right? ”
“…… This kind of line, if only a little fortunate demented woman could talk about it. You really don't know me when you say it. In addition, the first half of the book is suspected of personal attacks, so I'll just take it as a compliment to me. ”
"yes, I just want to say a line like this to find a feeling...... If I were to tell you directly, whatever you want to do, just do it, it would seem like I'm overpowering you. The Supreme Leader of the Nolda Wood Elves said calmly, "In addition, Tifario said that he would definitely die before me, and asked me not to cry at his funeral, nor to cry with a sad face, and to tell a joke." ”
…… To be honest, this is indeed Dad's style, Lu Xi has no doubt at all.
"However, I have no talent for telling jokes, and I am not in the mood to do anything that makes me feel so embarrassed that I want to get into the ground, and it is a joke. Well, I hope this troublesome old man doesn't mind. Tidriet smiled: "Actually, I told you before, little Luxi, Norda is your home, I am your family, and I am also a strong backing who will unconditionally support you in doing anything!" All the Wood Elves trust you and are willing to follow you, whether it's business or anything else...... So, what do you need me to do now? ”
At this time, it's not just my Sister Tido who is talking to me, but Tidlet? Lin Ge, the supreme political and religious leader of the Nolda Wood Elves, right? In fact, as one of the cardinals of the Grand Church, she should theoretically have been in Cloudsdale at this time to attend the funeral of His Majesty the Pope.
However, as the new Pope Antony said, there are too many people who need to say goodbye lately. Strictly speaking, although the positions between the Druid Order and the Grand Church are often intertwined, and many Grand Druids also have priesthood positions at the bishop level or above, there is no actual relationship between the two sides. In the same way, there is no reason for the Grand Druid Elders to deliberately stagger the time of the Pope's time. Of course, in this way, Yasti? Under Bruncht III, the first funeral of the Cardinal since the beginning of the Glorious Age, the Cardinal Conference was unable to gather all the Pope - of course, no one should care about this. When the history books of later generations are recorded, they should be deliberately ignored, right?
At this time, in the position of being a long-time friend of Daddy Tifario, and as a high priest and cardinal of the goddess of life, Tidreal chose the former.
The two cardinals who attended the funeral of Grand Elder Tifario, in addition to Tidlet, the other was Renus, the high priest of Diana, the goddess of the moon and the hunt? Moon Spirit. Although the two of them were more like leaders of the regime, and although they held the same honorary positions in the Druid Order as the Elders, they never interfered in the affairs of the Order. However, strictly speaking, the two of them represent the faith of all surface elves and the supreme power of the world, and it is only with their participation that Tifario's funeral specifications can truly be worthy of his status, fame, and status.
Well, even the spirits of naturalism and mysticism are actually very particular about this set. Or, in a sense, they care more about these forms than humans.
Of course, judging from Sister Tido's words, the reason why she came here to attend the funeral is of course more than that.
“…… The checkpoint of the Confederacy's Mount Namoa determined that a huge black figure had skimmed through the sky a few days ago, in the northwest direction, of course, in the direction of the Orgrimmar Great Wasteland. I'm almost certain that it must be the true form of the Bloodthirsty King Parkens. He must have gone to join up with his most reliable men, right? Even if it is a remnant of the defeated dogs who are struggling to survive, they still need to huddle together to keep warm. Lu Xi laughed, and his smile was quite eerie: "Of course, in the previous year-long tug-of-war, the orcs have been beaten by their heads. The reason why the country has not been destroyed is because the resurrected dragon heart Asog is really powerful, and on the other hand, it is also because of the ghost father...... Oh no, His Majesty Otto hasn't really touched it. However, when His Majesty Otto, the leader of the coalition, really put everything in order, it will be the day of the orcs' catastrophe, right? At this time, the return of the god of war may become a lifesaver for them. ”
In fact, at this time last year, everyone saw that the Virginia Empire in the north had exhausted its domestic elite and marched into the Orgrimmar steppe in three ways, and everyone thought that the moment of orcs as an independent historical term should soon be over. But in fact, a year later, Orgrimmar's Golden Horde still exists, and "Dragonheart" Asog is still surrounded by his supporters, and officially becomes the Golden Horde. But since then, the battle situation between the two sides has maintained a fairly balanced stage, with small fights and small battles continuous, but the big battles have never begun.
Whether Asog made any agreement with Emperor Otto, everyone really doesn't know. But it is completely certain that people all over the world may have fallen for the brother and noble emperor who seems to be the five big and three rough and rude, right?
The troops led by the Marquis of Hector in the north of the empire are indeed a strong division, and after defeating the defenders of the orcs divided into the north, they firmly locked the pass of the Little Atlas Mountain - this is the largest spiral staircase in the north of the continent, and the "oathbreaker" of the drow elves led hundreds of thousands of blues to the city-state of Malatha, and it was from here that they set off. Locking this place locks the entrance to the dark region where the orcs have fled. In addition, it is also the source of the Hishan River, the Infeis River, and the Gray River, which controls the upper reaches of these great rivers in different directions from north to south and east to west, and can not only attack Orgrimmar along the river path, but also easily gallop to the Great Lakes region. All in all, it's a strategic move.
Originally, everyone thought that Emperor Otto really wanted to do something with this trick, but then the army of 100,000 began to make extensive use of the mountain valleys and hilly pastures of the Lesser Atlas Pass, and began to ...... as he built a fortress Tuntian.
You are indeed not mistaken, it is a large construction project and tuntian. With the current population of Virginia and the productive forces of this medieval era, an army of 100,000 "mere divisions" cannot all be professional soldiers and knights, but in fact most of them are conscripts, whose main business is farmers and herdsmen—just the toughest group of farmers and herdsmen in all mankind.
In fact, due to the fact that they are the source of several major rivers in the Orgrimmar Heath, the Great Lakes region, and the Arel Plateau, the southern part of the mountain range has a fertile soil, but it has been occupied by more than a million kobolds and goblin tribes in the past, and has not been reliably exploited. In addition, the hilly pastures on the southern side of the mountain range, which had previously been the habitat of the Niru nomads, were far from being the territory under the effective control of Virgia.
Now, the orcs have been defeated under the Black Castle, and they can't have enough troops to support it for a while. As a result, the millions of kobolds and goblin tribes, after being wiped out by a third of the 100,000 Vigian army in a near-genocidal manner, the rest had to kneel and beg for life, and finally became the cheapest labor.
As for the nomadic Niru...... Well, after being decapitated by Artoria on the Aurora Aurora, the pure masters who had a lot of roots and perseverance to build an independent country were basically dead, and the rest either fled directly and changed from nomads to wanderers, or they honestly knelt and licked the toes of the Nords, acting even less disciplined than goblins and kobolds.
On the other hand, the 200,000-strong army led by His Majesty Emperor Otto himself reached the Great Lakes region directly. Everyone originally thought that it was the main force of the Nords, but when they arrived, they found that except for the 50,000 troops he had trained after the Auckland Forbidden Army system (with a very familiar name, called the "Royal Army of Virginia"), the rest were all immigrants and engineers.
The Brother-Noble Muscle Emperor had a clear mind that was completely out of proportion to his appearance, and knew full well that an overwhelming population of the Juche nation was indispensable if he was to exercise long-term rule over a newly conquered frontier land. However, the grain-producing region of the Great Lakes, the only large-scale impact plain north of the Hegalos Mountains, was also indispensable for the long-term peace and stability of the future Northern Empire, and it had to be eaten as soon as possible. Well, if you don't take advantage of the fact that now, when the enemy and the "allies" are quite weak, how long will it take?
Well, Emperor Otto did the right thing, although there must have been a lot of people who scolded him for being ugly. The veterans of the Federation, whose combat strength has been greatly damaged and the country's politics are in turmoil, but it is still necessary to maintain the "dignity of a great power", and the scolding is especially severe.
The only thing that can be regarded as a little conscience is actually the Southern Route Army led by Artoria from the Henas Peninsula, which has really fought a few major battles with the orcs, and has now advanced to the Mubohair River, forming a corner with the main force of Emperor Otto in the Great Lakes region - however, the main strength of this army is also the alliance of the Black Earth Hills and the countries of the Dragonclaw Peninsula.
Of course, Artoria is also too disciplined. Her army swept all the land in the southern part of Orgrimmar, which was equivalent to a quarter of the land of the Great Wasteland, and yet, she did not pocket an inch, and distributed it all in an orderly manner to all the countries that sent troops—although these lands were really not fertile, we all knew that even if it was a stone, some people could squeeze two taels of oil. Of course, there is no way that there will be too little of this thing. As a result, the cheers of "Long live Her Highness Artoria" have been resounding in the coalition formation, this noble natural knight soft girl, her prestige in the coalition may not have reached the peak, but her popularity is almost full.
"That daughter's ghost father and brother Uncle Gui did make a very wise judgment. For Virgia, swallowing the Great Lakes into her stomach is certainly far more important than conquering Orgrimmar completely. Lu Xi smiled: "And even if you want to completely conquer the orcs, it is far more effective to nibble up step by step than to swallow it in one bite...... and it is also more suitable for Artoria to brush up on her reputation." I have to say that my daughter has come to this point, and she is really well-intentioned.
"However, that uncle is not a gentle old man! Even if they can't completely conquer the orcs, they will be completely crippled, not only to completely solve this thousand-year-old enemy, but also to protect the newfound fertile land of the Lake District of Vegia. If the Northern Empire really wants to compete with Oakland for continental supremacy in the future, the Great Lakes region must be under the stable rule of the Empire. Now, the army of His Majesty Otto and the Marquis of Hector has completed this year's harvest...... Well, I remember, the kind of hardy buckwheat that can be harvested in both summer and winter was sold to the Nord people by our Norda Development Group, right? ”
Tidlight nodded, then said with a smirk, "...... Of course, according to what you ask us to do, this high-yielding cold-tolerant crop will hardly be used as food for the second generation. When the time comes, they will also have to ask our chamber of commerce members to re-plant the seeds, so the follow-up service fee will be a lot of money. By the way, little Luxi, how would your little princess Nord react if she knew that you had come up with this bad idea? ”
“…… Didn't you know Artoria at the beginning? Moreover, in business, she would understand even if she knew. Lu Xi said in a tone that was not too convincing.
