Wheel of War 10
As a troll that has been thriving hundreds of thousands of years ago, they have unconsciously stored a large number of bones on this island, and with the help of their witch doctor's special potion, these bones can even be preserved for tens of thousands of years or even longer, although Gianna thought of a way to break these potions, but even if these potions fail, the bones will only accelerate decay, and they can't turn into dust in an instant, so in the final analysis, they still have to use incineration, so the destruction work has become extremely heavy. Even in the days leading up to the arrival of the Garissian Army, we could only guarantee that the western half of the island, which was a quarter of the island, where we were, would no longer have undead standing at our feet. But as for the rest of the place, after my aerial scouting can ensure that there are no enemies, it is impossible to determine how many bones or undead are hidden in the ground, and I cannot send my own soldiers to risk the danger to reconnoiter the situation on land.
However, we can be considered to have occupied the islands, at least to ensure that our positions in the west can be used as our positions, and after purifying the rivers, we will establish a rudimentary base here for the arrival of the army, and from here we will use it as a springboard to attack the mainland.
When Garissus and the main force of our army arrived, we also had plans to attack the Horde on our agenda. The plan to discuss the attack on their capital Orgrimmar is nothing more than two points, one is to land on the nearby Dark Spear Beach and go north to take Orgrimmar, but the disadvantage is that they have to fight the tribal forces on land, and they have to pass through the Razor Ridge on the way. The second way is to skip the land and go north along the coastline to land on the Dead Eye Coast and then skip the land and razor ridge to attack Orgrimmar directly, but the disadvantage is that it is too difficult to resupply, there are no islands along the coast as a springboard, everything is only by ships, and occupying Orgrimmar in this way does not guarantee that we can stand there in the case of supply difficulties.
The vast majority of people suggested a direct landing operation, the reason is that most of the enemies of the tribe have gone to our dust swamp area, after the battle of the northern fortress, the morale of the tribe is low, the alliance army still has an advantage, and the second option also has a big hidden danger, in addition to the supply difficulties, that is, even if we skip Razor Ridge and attack Orgrimmar directly, we will still have to be harassed by that side after all, if the formation of a closed door to catch thieves, our alliance will not gain more than it loses.
I thought so, and in the end I decided to count the 200,000 main forces of the Marine Corps and the Army to land on Dark Spear Beach, after all, the coastline was wide and suitable for landing operations. Moreover, according to the report, there were not many enemy soldiers stationed there.
The next day we marched to the beach of the Dark Spear, and in the evening we arrived there, and when we marched to the beach, there were no defenders as reported to us, and our large army landed smoothly, and the road was very smooth, but the so-called very smooth was only in the landing stage, when we arrived at the village of Senkin, the center of the town, and found that something was wrong, there was no one but there were traps such as bomb devices, mines, etc., and even poison gas was used.
My vanguard suffered a loss, and I had to take some extreme measures, which was to purify the town with flames, and then build a camp nearby to spend the night. Aside from a few traps that caused a few casualties, this time went relatively smoothly anyway, and I began to think that after I appeared, the Horde would fight a landing defense battle with us when we landed, but by now they would have already evacuated the civilians.
But then again, it's a little strange, according to the intelligence tribe, the main force is in our dust swamp area, and here they have already diverted the population and created a trap, which is enough to show that they have already seen that we are going to attack Orgrimmar, but why don't they send the main force back to defend? Or do they have some big conspiracy waiting for us?
I convened the commanders again, and after deliberation it was agreed that the enemy should have sent a large number of troops to Razor Ridge and fight us there, or that when we attacked Razor Ridge they would gather their troops in all directions to surround us and block our advance by guerrilla warfare, after all, this place was a completely strange place to us.
In order to prevent such an accident, I decided to send scouts to the surrounding areas of Senjin Village, that is, the mountainous area to the east of Senjin Village, the southern area, and the Wild Boar Ridge to the northwest.
I ordered my scout troops, and I also took out the map of Razor Ridge and arranged the battle, which included many considerations: such as how to arrange my troops when attacking all around; With his spare long-range artillery on the ship, combined with Gianna's powerful magic, he bombarded the city gates to force the horde to attack us, and then we set up a formation and waited for the enemy to charge; and how the Air Force controls air supremacy.
We also speculated on the enemy's possible tactics: Thrall and their shamans and mages used their elemental powers against us, and so on. and all possible ways to deal with it, including solutions to special situations: such as Gianna using the Finger of Death again to erase Thrall, etc.
The discussion ended like this, and the rest of the people left, leaving only Gianna still here, and at this moment I thought Gianna had said everything she said, but just after I wanted to do something private to her, she still raised some of her hidden dangers in righteous words to make me correct my attitude and state again:
"Arthas, the main force of the Horde is not here, so it is possible that the Horde will use some extreme methods against us, such as turning their civilians and corpses into undead to confront us. What are we going to do then?"
"If the tribe really dares to do this on a large scale, I don't think the dragons and the night elves will tolerate it, so I don't worry about such a thing, and even hope that Thrall will do this, so that the tribal warriors with a strong sense of honor will definitely see his cruel side and turn against him. β
"So you're forcing Sal to do it. β
Gianna was surprised, yes, that's what I had in mind. Because of the undead, I have come to regard him as a mortal enemy. Of course, for this idea of mine, it is clear that I have no need to hide it from her.
"So to speak, but whether or not he is forced to do so, the pure is self-pure, and if it is really the use of the power of the undead that he ordered, then his own actions are always responsible for his own actions. It's like Gilneth Grey Sideburns. β
"Are you so sure that Thrall did it? it could be a natural disaster to use the power of the undead on Dark Spear Island, and Thrall is already a powerful shaman, and his learning necromancy will shake the elementals' trust in him, and Thrall may not do it. β
"To be honest, I'm not sure how much the undead on Darkspear Island have to do with Thrall, but I guess the tribe has been infiltrated by the Scourge, so we have to do something, even if it wasn't done by him, and if it's just the undead Troll Chief Witch Doctor of the Undead Scourges or Trolls, then we should have nothing to do with Thrall, and forcing Thrall to sign an alliance under the city is not exactly what we hoped for, but I know that Thrall will not surrender, and I don't believe in the undead that Sal doesn't know about it. As for the elemental you said had given up trust in him, wasn't it the Mother Earth who had abandoned him? That's why he decided to destroy Thrydes. β
Every sentence of my words did not stand up to scrutiny, and Gianna obviously did not want to argue with me so much, so she spoke directly about my thoughts and her concerns
"So you still want to kill Thrall? remember what Mavi said? Medivan wanted Thrall's life, so he asked Mavi for the Preservation Scepter, and you promised Mavi not to do that. β
"Things are changing, and Medivan wouldn't be happy if he knew that Thrall had become a messenger of the dead. And if Mavi had known that Sal was like this, she would have also realized how wrong her understanding was. At this point, we can't show mercy to Sal anymore, unless he can admit his mistakes, or prove his innocence, but obviously this situation makes it impossible for him to do such a thing, and if Medivan really thinks that Thrall is still indispensable at this time, then we can also kill Sal to force the crow to show up, and let him give me a reason not to kill Sal. β
"Well... I know what to do. Gianna looked a little upset, for she still felt my anger, and yes, no one had ever made me do that since she had known me. Obviously it's because of the pressure I felt from Sal's performance, and I did that. It has become my shadow, or a shadow that I have created myself, and this shadow I want to erase from the bottom of my heart. And the most direct expression, or rather my purpose, is to kill Thrall and return their tribe to the scattered and weak way they were at the end of World War II.
Apparently Gianna knew what I was thinking, but it might be at odds with Mavi's opinion, after all, Mavi had already told us about the reason why she didn't succeed in assassinating Sal that time, it was because of the teleportation scepter in Taresha's hand, and this scepter was given to them by Mavi through Medivan, which obviously has a reason why they have a reason that we can't see.
It was at this time that Ronin sent a message to Gianna that Mavi was going to change her strategy. Mavi wanted to use Manik's cavalry with the militia and the remaining forces to fight against Magatha's forces. Gianna passed this specific plan to me, and after listening to it briefly, I didn't hesitate to agree with Mavi's opinion:
"If things change, then they have to change, and Theramore is under Mavi's command. "I, too, Gianna, told them what was going on here, and got Mavi's opinion. To my surprise, however, she did not object to my intention to kill Thrall, or even to the fact that I was going to kill Thrall, but told me to be careful of the Horde's possible plots, and warned me that Thrall would definitely have something to prepare for us to attack their capital.
After the message was delivered, I was a little surprised by this reply, and I began to think that Mavi would not approve of me killing Thrall, but for now, she didn't seem to care about the orc, and perhaps regretted hearing that there were undead in the tribe as much as I did. I regret that I should have rejected Medivan at the time. Perhaps, but to be honest I don't really know what the hell that raven was up to, but I'm sure Medivan knows that if Thrall orders to use undead gadgets against us, he'll regret their actions just as much as Mavi, and I'll be taking care of this so-called prophet the next time I meet him. Of course, when Mavi reminded me that Sal had a conspiracy, it also strengthened the psychological intention that I believed that this undead plot was the work of Sal.
Gianna, who was also beside me, saw that Mavi, as an ancestor, didn't care about Sal, and completely dispelled her doubts, Gianna had always been worried about what bad consequences would happen if she killed Sal, but for now, if Mavi didn't care either, then everything seemed to be irrelevant. So she showed her determination to share my commitment
"If Thrall dares to show up, I'll end him with a finger of death. β
Gianna said this, although this was the second time she had said it, but this time I was as convinced as the first time that she could do it, and that she had to do it, so I decided to change my strategy and not let Gianna use too much expendable magic before she used the Finger of Death as I did last time, but to wait for this one opportunity to attack Thrall as I did last time.
"In that case, you don't use magic attacks in the war, wait for Thrall to show up, and we'll protect you around. β
"No, I'm stronger than I was then, Sister Mavi didn't just change my appearance, she also gave me more vitality, the Finger of Death didn't affect my usual use, and if I didn't use magic against the Horde, then Thrall wouldn't have appeared. β
"Giannaβ" we weren't saying anything. Instead, I enjoyed the world of the two, and of course I also remembered one thing in the process.
I didn't expect it to be like this, it seems that Mavi seems to me to be the same as Gianna, even if she thinks that our suppression of the tribe will cause some racial imbalance, she still supports my will, and even better is that she is not only to me, but also to Gianna, it seems that I know Mavi a little bit about her, and I am a little glad to have her loyalty and favor. I have no reason to suspect that she is behind me.
The next day, when the scouts who had conducted the census returned, and they told me that there had been no report of any of the tribesmen's build-up in these areas, I decided to set out with a large force towards Razor Ridge, leaving Garishers and a fifth of the troops, or about 40,000 infantry, to remain here.
Yes, this is a flat plain, there is no danger to defend, in order to ensure our supplies and retreat, it is necessary to ensure that a general who can hold his post stays here, because I still think that Thrall and Thrall's people will use spiritism, plus this is the result I want, so when he uses spiritism to resurrect the dead tribal warriors, for me the war is over, then I can withdraw and come back, because in this way the tribe will become a natural disaster-like existence, and will inevitably stand at the lowest point of morality.
It will even fall apart because of it. Therefore, I must ensure that the passage here is the plain of Senjin Village unblocked. And I'm sure Garethus can do it, after all, there are still a large number of ships on the rear coastline that can help him cover his defenses.
Gassus was eager to charge, but as a general, he understood the importance of the place, so he agreed to my arrangement, and pledged his life to keep our rear safe. At the same time, the scouts who had been scouted in the area had not yet returned, and if the scouts found that there were Tribal warriors nearby, Garithar was tasked with eliminating them.
However, those areas are jungles and steep mountains, which are not easy to detect, so the soldiers who scrutinize must make sure that there are no enemies around them and that they will not be attacked. It can also ensure that we will not be attacked by the enemy when we attack Razor Ridge, so that even if we attack unfavorably, we can ensure that we have a way back, of course, if I can detect that the enemy is stationed there, so we must send troops to destroy the surrounding enemies in advance in case of trouble.
So, in this way, I led the large army and continued to set off north.
Razor Ridge on the other side before.
Thrall mistakenly thought that I was slaughtering trolls, and like me, he already regarded each other as mortal enemies, and even treated our alliance with the same attitude as the Burning Legion, and he realized that I would soon land and fight, so he immediately moved the inhabitants of the Sengjin Village and other tribes to Razor Ridge as much as possible, because he didn't know when I would arrive here, so he also asked the soldiers and civilians to set up obstacles along the way to block our speed.
At the same time, after being sure that Lexa was already in place, he also arranged for Zurkin, who was his navy card, to lead the fleet to retreat to the north to hide his strength, and he knew that I would scout. So he must keep Zulkin's newly formed fleet out of our scouting view and prevent detection.
Of course, he didn't expect me to wait a week before leading the army into Senkin, in fact, Thrall had imagined that I would send a messenger for peace, but in reality it never came, which meant that the war was obviously far from over, and my ambition was not only to destroy the Horde navy.
Therefore, he was completely determined to understand me, because he also determined in his heart the fact that there would be no peace between the tribe and the alliance, and that his elimination of me here was only the first step, and he had to eliminate all the alliances on Kalimdor's side. Then recuperate and take all the allied nations of Azeroth in one fell swoop, so that the Horde can gain real living space and eliminate all threats.
Thinking of this, Sal didn't seem to feel a little arrogant, he didn't know that these arrogance came not only from the pressure given to him by the alliance, but also from internal factors, and Burks sent him some additives in the food. At first, Burks didn't know how much of this powder to put at a time, after all, he didn't dare to try these things sent by the black dragon at all, and he didn't dare to waste them, and when he tried to add a very small amount, he found that Sal didn't notice it. He decided to find an opportunity to add all the packets of reagents to it, in case he had too many dreams at night.
However, Berks seems to have overlooked a very real problem, and that is Garrosh next to Sal. Because he was calculating how to fight the alliance all day long, Thrall would neglect such things as eating for a long time, but the simple-minded Garrosh around him was not, he just hoped that he could eat more and then increase his muscles to make himself stronger and stronger, so many times Thrall privately distributed his food to the young orc, and Garrosh also liked the chieftain's food very much.
And when Burks decided to add all the additives to Sal's food, as a precaution, he served Sal's favorite goat broth in a large pot. And in order to clear the possible charges, he himself did not hand it over, but hinted that Garrosh should hand it to Sal, and he secretly observed it from a distance, and it happened that it was the first day of the Alliance's landing, and when the food was given to Sal, the Great Chief was not in the mood to eat it at all, or that he was directing the civilians to evacuate the scene It was impossible for him to eat such a sumptuous food in front of the civilians, especially when he learned that some civilians were still left behind. So he immediately led the speedboat to the south to check on the situation of the last group of displaced civilians who had not yet arrived at Razor Ridge, and urged them to reach Razor Ridge as soon as possible, because their situation was very special, and if the Alliance pursued this wave of civilians day and night, they would probably not have time to reach Razor Ridge and be caught up here. So as for the pot of sumptuous food sent by Garrosh at this time, he was directly reprimanded by Sal.
However, after the reprimand, Thrall realized that he had wronged Garrosh in front of him, and then angrily scolded the young orc for eating the pot of food at all.
In this regard, the young Garrosh ate it without scruples, and Berks wanted to stop it, but Thrall had already left, and when he arrived at Garrosh, the young Garrosh had already taken a big bite without scruples, and ate nearly half of it directly. After Garrosh saw that the elders of Berks were about to reprimand him, he hurriedly explained that these broths full of meat were given to him by Sal, and the angry Burks didn't say anything more, yes, he knew that these things had been eaten by Garrosh, and he couldn't give Sal who didn't know when he would come back to eat the things saved by Garrosh, and even if these leftovers were eaten by Sal, it was obviously not effective.
He had to give up, but as if the Black Dragon Prince had completed the task given to him, yes, he still didn't believe that the Black Dragon Prince could monitor him all the time. Indeed, Nefarian, the Black Dragon Prince, didn't think that this orc, who was the captain of the Sal Guard, would be so stupid that he would even mess up such a thing...
"Forget it, anyway, when you grow up, I hope you can be stronger than your father. Burks said and left. Garrosh was only thankful for this, perhaps unaware that when he drank these drugs, he would indeed become stronger than his father Grom, and of course even more violent and belligerent...
However, Thrall was not so nervous after learning from the scouts that the Alliance had set up camp near Senjin Village, because as long as the Alliance did not chase after him day and night, the final wave of civilians would definitely arrive at Razor Ridge safely, and the evacuation of Razor Ridge did not need to be too nervous, and it was completely possible to wait until all the civilians retreated to Orgrimmar before fighting the Alliance, of course, the good news for Sal was more than that. There was also great good news, that our side of the knights without dwarves and centaurs had strengthened his confidence in victory, and yes, the cavalry that had no disadvantage even against ogres was a nightmare of tribal land warfare and alliance confrontation.
"Wait...", but it was the scout who reported that there was no such class here, so he also wrote to Zulkin and Magatha, telling him to be aware that the alliance might have a team heading north along the coast, or they would appear in the dust swamp, and let her actively defend against possible threats.
Sal, who was still very excited, thought of this, and his pride gradually calmed down, he didn't expect that I didn't bring those trump cards. On the whole, though, it was a good thing for him, for those troops were better there than here, and if he could defeat Arthas here and for all, the Horde would surely defeat the Alliance, and that was obviously a very possibility.
At the same time as the Magatha here.
Along the way, Magatha was puzzled to see the food we hadn't taken away and had not yet destroyed, and after making sure that there was nothing out of the ordinary, she naturally smiled at these things, of course, for herself, even if she accepted these things, she couldn't produce any gratitude to the Alliance, she thought it was a sign of the Alliance's hasty escape, so she was even more determined that she would definitely take Theramore, both for herself and for the Horde, especially when the war in the Darkspear Islands started and soon fellWhen the news came that Thrall was preparing to defend Orgrimmar, Magassa was even more convinced that he could succeed.
Same Mavi here.
She saw Falik and others on the island of Seramo, but she didn't see Ronin who had not yet returned, at this time Falik was preparing to set off for the raid, as the supreme commander here, and my princess Mavi also arrived at the dock to see them off by the way, although according to my original plan was to let Falik lead the troops to attack Mogore, but afterwards Mavi after checking the current situation that a large number of civilians need to settle in Seramo, but gradually realized that the strength of Seramo is not enough to fight against Magatha, if she fights against us like against the northern fortress, then this place will definitely fall, so I want to change Faric's planγ
"I want to change it temporarily, don't go to Mogaure, and look for an opportunity to raid Magatha directly when you get to the north-point fortress in the innermost part of Dust Bay, because she will attack here. β
Mavi tells Manic what she thinks, to which Manic is very embarrassed.
"But this is disobeying Arthas's orders. β
"I know, but now things have changed, and if you take the men, horses, and griffons, then I'm full of wounded infantry and recruits, who can't stop the massive airlift of Magatha, and I'm sure that even if you slaughter the tribal civilians in Mogore, you won't force the Margassa to defend themselves. β
"Are you sure that Magaza would do that?"
"I'm pretty sure she will, and that's why Sal kept her, because Magassa is improvisable and has the ability to take chances, so we have to do the same, which is why Arthas put me in charge. β
Seeing the current situation, Faric also believed it, yes, although there were a large number of soldiers from the Alliance, they were indeed new recruits, and they had to take on the task of resettlement and construction, and they were no match for Margasa and their soldiers, and it didn't mean anything to the airship in a towering fortress. Although there are a large number of anti-aircraft ballistas prepared here, if Magasa chooses to land on the beach at night, these anti-aircraft weapons are almost decoration.
"Then we want to contact Arthas first and let him decide, but Ronin is not here. β
"Believe me, if Arthas knew about the state of affairs here, he would have supported this decision, and he put me in charge of this place, I think I can still command you. β
"This..."
Manic still seemed embarrassed, and Mavi continued to enlighten my most trusted subordinate.
"This is Lordaeron's last legacy, and you don't want his safety to be at risk. β
"I understand, then I will obey your orders. "Faric complied, but at this time, Faric came back and told Mavi one thing, and that was what I told him, and Falik felt the need to tell Mavi to remind her. "Actually, His Highness Arthas doesn't want to go on the expedition, he actually thinks..."
"Try to conserve your strength and don't let us have an accident, right? β
Before Farik could leave, Mavi mentioned that he was finished, much to Faric's surprise.
"He told you?"
"No, I know him well, better than you think, and he doesn't want some people to have an accident, like my priestesses. β
"Yes. β
Manic nodded, and Mavi told this confidant of mine some of her will.
"So that's why I'm following him with some of my priestesses, Arthas will approve of our existence, and we don't want to surprise you either, so I hope you can listen to some of the elders who are eleven thousand years older than you, you must follow my arrangement, as long as the Magatha troops are near us, we will not be stable, believe me. β
Mavi said this, and then Manic stopped questioning, so he listened to Mavi's arrangements against Magasa. That is, to keep Flod's main air force with her, and Falic and Muradin went around the south side of Dust Bay to the North Point outpost in the north and surrounded them while they were smuggling here.
Falik hesitated about this, he knew that there were at least 200,000 or even more than 300,000 tribal warriors hoarded there, although these were defeated and low morale troops, but the number could still crush him, and he himself only had nearly 50,000 men and horsemen, and now he had drawn thousands of griffon knights, and he didn't dare to say whether he won or not, and his large amount of damage was certain. This is a violation of the agreement I gave him not to be harmed. However, reason still told him that it was necessary to do so, because these thousands of air forces were going to help the alliance against the Margatha airships, and those airships would obviously fly over the main tribal forces of those troops, so this arrangement was very reasonable.
"Well, I'll take your orders, and I'll be responsible for everything then. β
"Believe me, Magatha will lead the main elite among these hundreds of thousands to attack Theramore, this is the main battlefield, and there will definitely be no losses on your side. And we have to do it, and if the Alsace side is not in favor, we will use those captives for the greater good of our alliance. β
"I'll be there as soon as I succeed. β
With that, Falic left. And Mavi watched them leave, and just when Mavi wanted to leave, suddenly a figure appeared near Mavi, she knew that it was Luo Ning's teleportation technique, obviously he had finished a step. But fortunately, he is a mage, and he can still find mana to overcome them through his spells. But he came just in time. Mavi was going to tell Gianna the news through him.
So Luo Ning passed this message to me and got my reply...
However, when passing on the information, Luo Ning still only got a secret, that is, the last time Sal's escape had something to do with Mavi. Some angry Luo Ning questioned Ma Wei's meaning, but before he could open his mouth, Ma Wei was scolded.
"Surely you are questioning why I didn't kill Thrall?"
"Of course, we have lost so many warriors, and then we have to lose more to kill him. β
"If you put it on a higher level, it would upset the balance, and if Crassus was here he would say the same. Ronin was even angrier when Mavi said this, yes, he had been complaining that Crassus had not helped him against the Horde, but reason had told him that Crassus really couldn't do this, after all, he was looking at things from a higher level. "And if you look at it on our level, I was really wrong, especially since someone in the tribe used necromancy, so I have to make amends. β
Ma Wei's statement made Luo Ning speechless for a long time, so he could only ask Ma Wei:
"So what do you do. β
"Of course, as everyone in our alliance thinks, fight against the threat of the Horde, go to Manic now, and he will tell you what to do. At this moment, Luo Ning did not hesitate, he immediately teleported there, and then Mavi also began to mobilize the forces here to actively carry out defensive battles, but a large number of civilians need to be resettled, obviously this arrangement will not go very smoothly. And she also knew that she would have to use the powerful divine power of the vengeful soul to use it in the war between her mortals.
