Chapter 182: Alterac (1)
Twelve elven-style ships docked in the town of Nanhai.
Among them were four slightly larger destroyers, as well as eight smaller ones.
A formation of the Union army, neatly disembarked, lined up......
It's a strange alliance army, made up of elven rangers, with a handful of humans among them.
If it weren't for the blue alliance robes and flags, the garrison of Southsea Town wouldn't even know that Quel'Thalas actually had elves join the alliance......
When the beautiful elf female rangers appeared on the beach in Nanhai Town, it attracted many onlookers...... However, the group did not stay in the town for long, as they set out from the west coast of Tirisfa, and after landing in Southsea Town, the goal was to travel to Alterac and assist King Aiden-Pirenod in defending against the Horde attack.
As Marshal Anduin's lieutenant, Karin Sunrage was the leader of this formation.
From the west coast of Tiris, to the town of Nanhai...... It's about half a month of a long journey, maybe on the side of Riptide Castle, the tribe has already launched an attack on the Alliance! But Carlin doesn't care, he also has his own tasks and plans.
……
Lothar's arrangement, so that Carlin and the rangers together, is actually not a problem.
After all, in the eyes of Lothar, they are compatriots; And judging from the previous performance, at least it was "acquaintance".
It's just that Lothar doesn't know that the way he and Aurelia "met" is a little special......
The ships of the High Elves are slightly different from the ships of the humans...... They have a narrower hull, but a more stable ride! Interestingly, after being in this world for so long and experiencing several long sea journeys, it was the first time that Carlin had taken a ship from the elves.
A very comfortable journey, for Carlin...... The destroyer he was on did not shake excessively from beginning to end, and even Khadgar, the "first brother" who sailed on the sea, did not get seasick at all.
Carlin was amusefully not on the same destroyer as Aurelia Windranger; Although according to the rules, as the commander of this formation, and the leader of the rangers, Aurelia should stay together to prevent accidents from happening, so that they can be unified in command.
But after all, he is a mage, and if there is any accident, he can turn into a crow and fly over...... Aurelia has no objection to that!
Of course, on board, Carlin still received a certain welcome from the rangers!
After all, he was a blue-robed mage...... A mage of this level, if he has achieved certain merits in Silvermoon City, can even become a member of the Silvermoon Council, which can be said to be a "big shot"!
The rangers and the mages have always been distinct, how could these rangers under Aurelia have come into contact with such "big people" before.
At first, they were a little in awe of Carlin, but after feeling that this "archmage" was very easy-going and had no arrogance, they all immediately let go! There are even several beautiful female rangers who boldly show their love to him...... Quel'Salas has always been very open-minded.
Naturally, Carlin refused without hesitation! Just kidding, Khadgar...... If you don't have the "iron man" Manjix by your side, if you make any political mistakes, it will be the other party's handle for the rest of your life!
……
The whole force wanted to set off on Mount Alterac in the north, and it was not very fast.
Aurelia Windranger looked at the map in her hand, then frowned...... She thought for a moment, but walked over to Carlin:
"Are we on the wrong track?" She asked, with a hint of reproach in her voice: "If you look at the direction, it seems that we are heading towards a northwest wind!" ”
"No, there isn't." Carlin said without thinking, "I had planned the route before. ”
Aurelia nodded, not continuing to question, but returned directly to her rangers.
No matter what she thought in her heart, at least on the surface, she still regarded Carlin as the commander of this formation.
After Aurelia left, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the north, a sneer appeared on the corner of Karin's mouth.
……
Aiden Pirenod, he's an idiot...... This sentence was not said by himself, but by the evaluation of his mentor Antonidas.
In fact, the mentor's evaluation is very pertinent, because this King of Alterac is indeed very stupid, no matter what he has done or what will happen in the future.
First of all, as a king of one of the seven kingdoms of mankind, although he has always behaved very cultured and aristocratic; The popularity is extremely poor!
This can be seen from the last G7 summit attended by Carlin; Terenus Minahir, who has always been known for his image as a good old man, has no pretense for him, which can be seen.
In addition, at the meeting, he completely offended Anduin-Lothar, the commander of the alliance army; The other kings, even those like Jean Greymayne who had irreconcilable contradictions with Lothar, were on good terms on the surface.
And in the future, this idiot will be even more self-indulgent!
After the orc army advanced into Alterac Mountain, he had sworn that "the tribe should not take a step beyond Alterac", but he actually chose to secretly contact Orgrim, the orc chieftain, to be the "leading party"!
This kind of behavior is very unbelievable, orcs and humans are alien, and they are irreconcilable...... The southern kingdom of Azeroth has been through everything, and after being taken over by the Horde, almost all of humanity has been slaughtered!
Wouldn't uniting with such an opponent be a recipe for self-inflicted death?
Take 10,000 steps back and say that it is enough to "lead the way" for the tribe...... But the genius king Aiden Pirenod, after letting the tribe cross the Alterac Mountains, actually sat at home without a soldier, trying to keep his own place in the alliance and be duplicitous!
Isn't it a joke, the treacherous Mount Alterac is the only way to reach Lordaeron, when the horde's army crosses Mount Alterac bloodlessly and appears under the city of Lordaeron...... Tyrenus is not a fool, and you can guess with your ass that it was you, Aiden Pirenod, who defected to the Horde!
Normal people, after choosing to lead the way, should also break the can and assist the tribe in attacking Lordaeron...... After defeating the alliance, there is a good skill from the dragon, although there is a probability of being unloaded and killed by the donkey, but it will not be a dead end.
After some divine manipulation, this king could only usher in a tragic ending in the end, and was directly liquidated by the alliance after the war, and the country was ruined......
In fact, even if the Alliance is defeated and the Horde is victorious, Orgrim should be at the foot of Alterac Mountain soon after he conquers Lordaeron City.
So it seems, the ending makes no difference.
