Chapter 136: The Curtain Opens 5
Rod was silent.
In fact.
From Ilminster's words, Rhodes' perspective on many things has changed.
Even before this conversation, Rhodes had been wondering why Grey the Wind Rider could send him to the surface world so confidently.
You must know that even if the Knights of the Wind Chase defeated a strong enemy in the Battle of Spear Pass, it would be an encouragement to Stormwind at best, and it would not be able to gain a decisive voice.
Although Stormwind is a rare place of order in the Shadow Realm.
But where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Rhodes was not very familiar with the situation in Stormwind, but he knew that there was also hidden darkness beneath this seemingly glorious Stormwind City.
Before that Storm Queen.
The entire city of Stormwind is divided into factions, and they have different positions, different opinions, and very different ways of handling things.
The most acute of these antagonisms is the confrontation between the old and new blocs.
The Knights of the Windchaser and some of the young people, who advocate change, are aware of their own shortcomings in the crisis of Stormwind, and are very different from the older faction in terms of both external and internal advocacy.
Among the representatives are the Outsider Wind Chaser Knight, the local Nova Golden Flash, and some of the leaders of the Mage Academy.
Compared with the young and self-reliant new school characters, the older generation of strong people have experienced the history of the founding of Stormwind City, they think that they have seen the rules of the Shadow Realm, and in handling affairs, they have some ruthlessness and darkness that young people do not have.
In many things, although they obey the order, they lose some faith in the code of conduct, and for them, their own interests are paramount, and the means are dark.
Factional dumping is an inevitable thing in many dungeons.
The battle of Spear Pass seems to have been won, but as high-level figures in Stormwind City, their vision and pattern are not only focused on a battle or a place, and this battle cannot achieve a real voice in their eyes.
In the original history of Stormwind.
The Battle of the Knights of the Windchaser in the Roaring Valley was even included in the model by the war commanders of the Shadow Realm, and although the scale of the war was not large, the impact was far-reaching.
In that war.
With his keen sense of war and courage beyond ordinary people, Grefa decisively chose to cut off an important passage among the enemies of Stormwind in the Roaring Valley.
Like a sharp sword, he managed to cut off a corner of the impermeable chessboard.
Using the Roaring Valley as a dividing point, the Knights of the Storm not only divided the enemy's attempt to annex Stormwind in one bite, but also used it as a wound to continuously bleed the enemy, successfully priing open the gap in the war.
His tactics are like a shark devouring a school of fish.
The essence of his use of reinforcements, attacks and tactical divisions had a profound impact on the entire Battle of Stormwind, and as a result, he became the upstart of Stormwind.
And the spear off a battle.
In the eyes of Rhodes, who has participated in many wars, this is not even a complete battle.
If you look at the information in the tavern, this is just an encounter with the Knights of the Windschaser.
The accompanying effects of a real battle are inevitably multifaceted, including the economic, internal and strategic levels of both sides of the war, such as the "Battle of Gloucester", "Nameless Ice Field Assault", and "Blackwater River Encounter" in which Rhodes once participated......
These campaigns were once judged by the game system to be "epic battles".
For example, in the Blackwater encounter, the two warring sides engaged in a terrible encounter in an area called the river flatlands, and the battle did begin with an encounter.
Neither side of the war expected the other's movements.
At the beginning of the battle, it entered the bloody point of white-knuckle warfare, one of which misjudged the scale of the other party's war, and the two sides began to frantically increase their troops around the river beach, according to statistics, more than a dozen cities around the river beach were forced to participate in the war.
Blood and corpses from both sides littered the riverbank, and the smell of blood in the Blackwater River near the riverbank was said to have lingered for months.
From the scale of an encounter to a chain reaction that completely detonates the scale of the war in the entire region, this is an epic battle that can dominate the situation in a region.
And the spear off a battle.
In the eyes of outsiders, a battle at the level of just three legions is at best a small battle, and through such a war, it can affect the next assessment of the war by all forces.
But from the mouth of Ilminster.
Rhodes realized that there was a deeper consideration for the Battle of Spear Pass.
At least.
The battle of legendary combat power behind this battle played a decisive role.
A battle that can really influence the situation has many aspects of impact and contest. For example, wars are sometimes fought about economics, intelligence, and all sorts of timing.
But in such an otherworldly world.
The war in the Shadowlands depends more on victory at the legendary level.
In the original history of warfare.
Stormwind City is precisely because of the problem with the Storm Spire, it is like a big force that has lost the nuclear weapons to deter the enemy, and the lack of strategic-level forces has led to an avalanche-like erosion.
It's like fighting a landlord.
Stormwind is like a landlord, it is in a state of being surrounded by enemies, and Storm Spire is like a card exposed by the landlord, but this card is still a bomb.
No matter how well the opponent plays, Stormwind has a bomb in hand that is enough to make people fearful.
This is a strategic-grade weapon.
And the current environment of the Shadow Domain is like fighting the landlord.
Everyone has a good hand in their hands.
Although Stormwind's bombs may seem tricky, if they really mess with those dungeons, they can easily fight them by throwing their hole cards and paying some price.
But sometimes that's how you play.
Whether you can beat it is one thing, and whether you can fight it is another.
In this game, everyone can be a landlord, everyone can also be an ally, and everyone has such a thing as hole cards, but on the bright side, the cards shown by Stormwind City are enough to make people fearful.
This was the case with the Battle of Spear Pass.
It seems to be just an inconsequential card, tasteless to eat, and a pity to discard, but when there is really a next family to play cards, Stormwind shows that hand of bomb again, making everyone jealous.
When Stormwind puts on such an unreasonable appearance.
The savvy dungeon overlords will start to think about whether it is worth it to fight Stormwind.
For these guys with different positions, even if they fight Stormwind City in the end, the final fruits of victory may be picked by others, and if they don't even take themselves, they will be swallowed by others.
In this case.
For the victory in the Battle of Spear Pass, the game was at a stalemate, and as this important card, the weight of the Knights of the Wind Chaser and the Storm Spire in Stormwind naturally began to become important.
