Chapter 16: Commander-in-Chief?
Rex looked at Darius, this one still has some characters who have not adapted to the current situation, and now the current few people not only represent Gilness, but also represent the alliance, and the dwarf's request for help is not for Gilnis, but for the alliance.
100,000 is a lot, but if there are many evenly divided, there are not many, Rex opened his mouth this time to send 100,000 troops, the intention is to directly solve the plight of the dwarf.
If it doesn't come out, it's just a given realm.
Joint troops are necessary, which can increase the influence of the alliance, otherwise what to do with the establishment of the alliance, if the alliance is established, there is no action over time, and in the end it will only give people the feeling that it will only be a decoration, so the alliance must have action, there must be an enemy's storage, in order to deepen the alliance's sense of existence, just like the Second World War, the alliance was established by the war situation, and it is necessary to unite, but when the second war was won, the high elves took the lead in finding a reason to tear up the alliance and withdraw from the alliance. This is followed by Gilneth and Fort Riptide.
Rex originally thought that the matter of resisting the Burning Legion was the first major battle after the establishment of the alliance, but he did not expect it to become a rescue of the gnomes, but no matter where, as the first battle of the alliance, not only must it be won, but the scale cannot be small, 100,000 troops, only more, not less.
King Jean was expressionless, did not speak for a long time, was thinking, joint troops, even after the division of Gilneth still has to send 30,000 troops, 30,000 is already a lot, Gilneth now has a big business, many places have to be garrisoned, these 30,000 people are replaced by the previous Gilnes, that is already all the regular army.
"And he sent a hundred thousand troops. It also shows our sincerity to the gnomes. To all members of the Alliance. We are one," said King Jean, for it was taboo for the dwarfs to send troops without any knowledge of the details of the enemy, and to send out a hundred thousand men, and now the most powerful of the entire eastern kingdom was undoubtedly Gilneis. Several major battles have made Gilneth a big winner, and the tens of thousands of troops left by Lordaeron have been absorbed, and some militias have been tempered by the war and become elites.
War is the best baptism, and the ravages of the undead have made the people of the land of Lordaeron learn to be strong and learn how to take up arms to fight.
An army of 100,000 is enough to destroy the country. These are all veterans of war, not improvised militia.
"Commander-in-chief?" King Jean asked, a pair of eyes looked at Rex, among the few people present, Rex is the best candidate, because when the joint crusade army was formed, this is Rex's qualifications, and once again becoming a marshal, this is a very simple matter, there is no need to use his strength to subdue others, so that others are not convinced.
"The problem of the gnolls can't leave me," Rex shook his head, indicating that he was not suitable, the problem of the gnolls is very critical, they are an indispensable force to resist the Burning Legion, at first glance, this time the alliance just rescued the gnomes, and dispatched 100,000 people, and the army to resist the Burning Legion is also 100,000 people, the two are basically the same, as if the alliance did not go all out at all, it is not the same thing at all, to resist the invasion of the Burning Legion's 100,000 army, brought Rex with no intention of bringing it back, with the intention of sacrificing, Naturally, it is impossible to rely on one's own people.
"The gnolls can't be delivered to others," King Jean frowned, his tone showed dissatisfaction, the mobilization of 100,000 troops is a big deal for the alliance, as the first battle of the alliance, this battle cannot be defeated, defeat will affect the prestige of the alliance, so it can only win, King Jean has high expectations for Rex, if Rex is the commander, this matter is already nine out of ten, this is the impression that Rex gave King Jean.
Now I suddenly heard that Rex was going to be busy with the problem of the jackals, and not to be the commander, which surprised King Jean, the gnolls were not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of King Jean, the gnolls scattered by the clan tribes did not have much threat, and the strategy adopted by ordinary humans against the gnolls was to use some food to provoke the relationship between the various clans and tribes of the gnolls, so that they could start a battle, deplete the vitality of the gnolls, and weaken their threat, this set has been used for countless years, but every time it works, the gnolls are really fooled.
"The gnolls are important, they're about that," Rex said.
"Rex, you've really been fooled, that prophet is just a madman, how can a madman's words be believed." Rex revealed about Medivan to King Jean, because since the battle with Medivan in the martial arts arena, Medivan left, and reappeared here a few days later, and also met King Jean under Rex's recommendation, and King Jean now knows about the Burning Legion.
"It's better to believe that it exists, not to believe that it is not, the last time he appeared, he sued King Lordaeron, but King Lordaeron didn't believe it, now the kingdom of Lordaeron no longer exists, ruined in a disaster, no one knows whether there is a connection," Rex began to say alarmistly, this cheap father of his, just as he knows Rex, Rex also understands him, he says so, absolutely can make him pay attention,
That matter was inexplicable to Vincent and Darius's ears, but the two of them were not stunned and took the initiative to ask, and since neither Rex nor King Jean took the initiative to explain, the two remained silent and pretended to be confused.
"If you don't go, who can command this 100,000 army?" King Jean, as Rex had guessed, stopped counting on Rex and asked Rex.
This sentence made Rex silent for a while, and deliberately glanced at Darius, in fact, the best candidate is Darius, in terms of military talent Darius is not weak, in the original history, Darius's appearance is quite good, with 100,000 troops in hand, it is not a problem to assist the dwarfs at all, but it is a pity that if this is a country of Gilnes, Darius will directly appoint Darius as the marshal, but unfortunately, now this is a major event of the alliance, and Darius can't control the scene at all.
Saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, or Darius's strength is a little weak, the peak of the ninth order, infinitely close to the hero, in the end it is not a hero and a strong man, the position of the commander of the 100,000 army, at least a hero and a strong man, Darius is not good, in the entire Gilneth Kingdom, except for Rex, there is no other candidate, which is one of the reasons why King Jean is not very satisfied.
"Duke Berval?" Vincent opened his mouth and said a candidate.
Rex shook his head, Boval's prestige is enough, and his strength is enough, but he has the most critical point, he can't become the marshal this time, just because he is the Duke of Stormwind City and a general under Varian, Rex has always weakened the influence of Stormwind City, so naturally he will not take the initiative to let the other party brush up his reputation.
"Sylvanas?" Vincent continued.
Rex still shook his head, Sylvanas's identity and strength are enough, but as a high elf, she is qualified in her own clan, but to outsiders, she is too arrogant, a commander who can't communicate well with his subordinates, directly excludes.
"Duke of Kurtaz?" This time it was not Vincent who spoke, but Darius, and Gilneth had no one suitable to act as a commander-in-chief, so he could only look for outsiders.
The candidate mentioned by Darius made Rex's eyes light up, Kurtaz is the duke of the dwarves, he can fight well, he has a heroic personality, plus the other party's height is about the same as a dwarf, this is a natural advantage, Kurtaz is very suitable to be the commander this time, but after thinking about it, Rex still shook his head and said that he would give up on him, because Rex thought that Kurtaz at this moment did not have time, because of the creation of the strongest artifact, Magni was greatly injured, and he had not shown up for a long time, and he needed to preside over the overall situation in Ironforge Castle.
Rex shook his head, Vincent and Darius put forward several more candidates one after another, and Ronin of Dalaran was also mentioned, but the reason for giving up this position was simpler, he had never commanded a large-scale legion battle at all, and it was only an assault squad that made him a hero.
There was silence in the hall, and everyone remained silent, and as one by one the candidates were denied, with the wisdom of Darius and Vincent, they had already guessed Rex's preferred candidate.
Tirio. Fordin!
Neither Darius nor Vincent mentioned this one, because of the remnants of Lordaeron's strength in recent times, they began to make a fuss, this one is the lord of Lordaeron, although the Valley of the Hearth has turned to ashes, but he is still the lord of the Valley of the Hearth, if so, he can't be feared, the key is that he has incorporated the remnants of the Knights of the Silver Hand, why was Arthas able to encircle and suppress the Silver Hand lightly, not because Alsace was too strong, but when he was a prince, As the crown prince, he recognized Uther's treason and forcefully announced the dissolution of the Knights of the Silver Hand, although it is not clear why, but the order to dissolve the Order was well carried out.
The members of the Knights of the Silver Hand were forced to leave their training grounds and stations, some joined Lordaeron's army, others were disarmed and returned to the fields, in fact, it was because of this disbandment order that after Arthas returned and killed King Tenaris II, the Scourge swept through Lordaeron in a very short period of time - the Paladins were unable to stop the tide of the Scourge army, and were finally wiped out one by one.
