Chapter 175: The Key That Can't Be Bypassed
The Alliance's headquarters, hidden deep in the underground mausoleum, is convenient for commanding operations to the south, and to the north is leaning on a large mountain and the Sador Bridge. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEven if there is an accident and the specific location of the general headquarters is discovered by the tribe, there will not be a situation where the top level of the alliance will be wiped out.
This is because the seemingly unguarded general headquarters of the alliance is actually a tight layout on the outside and loose on the inside, ambushing one ambush circle after another in this vast swamp. In one of the rooms of the General Headquarters, a continuous and stable portal to Riptide Castle had already been set up, and it was guarded by Dalaran's battle mages.
At this time, when everyone heard Muradin say that Oss had come here, their first reaction was to think that Oss had come to the headquarters with him. But after more than ten seconds, Oss did not appear, and everyone's eyes converged on Muradin from the gate.
"Wang ...... Uh, where's Os? Billsnott almost slipped out, but fortunately he was in dwarven language in his excitement, and few people in the room could understand it. However, as time goes on, it is only a matter of time before Oss's identity is revealed.
Muradin was stared at by Qi Shushu's uncomfortable gaze, and explained in one breath: "Still in Dammod, when we passed by the Sadol Bridge, we came across a group of dragoons who were chasing and killing civilians!" There was some accident at that time, Oss was injured, and Chromie was also injured, so they stayed in Dammod for the time being, and by the way, they could also protect the smooth passage of the Sador Bridge, because the major named Beckman said that there were still several escorts behind! ”
"Hurt! How is this possible! Beersnott exclaimed before Muradin's words could be finished.
However, the three old dwarves of the Brute Hammer Clan, although they were all shocked, were more disbelieving.
Sir Lothar also became nervous when he saw the reaction of King Kadros and the two Hammerlords. Among the alliance leaders present, the dwarves usually don't think too much, and the others don't know the true identity of Oss, so no one knows Oss's strength better than Sir Lothar, and no one understands the impact and significance of Oss on the battle situation better than him: "What is going on, Lord Muradin?" Was Oss's injury serious? ”
"It shouldn't be serious, it just takes time to recover." Muradin's ignorance of the Demon Souls was too much to tell him much useful information, and then he added, "Generalissimo, I am now a general of the Copperbeard Clan, so you don't need to address me as Your Excellency at this time. ”
"Okay, Muradin." Sir Lothar was not pretentious, and replied in one mouth.
At this point, the loud dwarves finally stopped, and Khadgar had a chance to come up and greet him: "Sir, see you for a long time." ”
"Khadgar, I'm so glad you could help!" Despite his armor and Khadgar being a great magician, Sir Lothar rounded the table and embraced his close comrade-in-arms in a wilder way.
"Sir, I have very important information about the situation with Os, the Dragonmaw Clan, and the entire orc race that needs to be reported immediately."
Curse aside, Khadgar's real age was only in his twenties, but Sir Lothar knew that Khadgar would never be unpurposeful.
As a result, Sir Lothar immediately dismissed all the ordinary civil and duty soldiers in the room, leaving only Uther, Benedictas, Tulayan, and Harold of the Terrans, Kadros, Muradin, Yuregar, and Bisnott of the Dwarves, and Ansumily and Aurelia of Queldore, as well as their respective lieutenants.
Of course, several of the leaders of the Iron Horse Brotherhood, such as Ever Janden, Ashcandi Leo, and Pasonia Shore, also remained in the room.
Next, under the watchful eyes of the leaders, Khadgar successively recounted the cause of Os's injury, the peculiarities of the Dragonmaw Clan, and the speculation about the entire orc race deduced through the interrogation of the Dragonmaw Clan.
It took more than twenty minutes, and after Khadgar had finished telling all the information and his guesses, he used illusion magic and elemental magic to simply restore the performance of the dragonthroat orc. Then, he concealed Oss's true identity and recreated the scene where Krylestaz shot demon soul energy from his eyes.
The ferocious golden beam, which was obviously only the thickness of an arm, could actually cause a spatial concussion, sending Oss thousands of meters away in the air and knocking down the cliff.
The leaders only now knew that the enslaved adult red dragon still had this method of attack. At the same time, they are also glad that this attack method is just an exception, and after the attack, the adult red dragon can get out of control.
The chamber was silent, and no one spoke first. The one who could take the lead was naturally the Generalissimo of the Alliance, Sir Lothar, who looked at the Hammer King Kaderos and considered it again before he spoke: "The top priority is to regain air supremacy, and this point has been agreed upon in several deliberations. ”
Just to point out the subject, Sir Lothar was silent. For the sake of the stability of the army of the entire alliance, further study, the generalissimo must not be allowed to cause contradictions.
As for whose identity is more suitable, there is no one more suitable except for Uther, who has returned from the Black Iron Dwarf of Blackstone Mountain: "King Kadros, this plan is still the same, and the alliance can cooperate with your Brute Hammer clan to help you recapture Grimbaatar, in order to disintegrate the enemy in the sky!" ”
Kaderos looked agitated, the matter had been discussed two or three times, and each time he replied, "Not now, our king will not allow a counterattack on Grimbaatar!" ”
Uther asked succinctly, as he had done before, "Why." ”
Beersnot, instead of King Cardros, roared loudly: "I said it a few times, I don't know!" ”
It's not perfunctory, it's really no one knows.
Why couldn't Grimbaatar be attacked immediately, Oss didn't mention the real reason to anyone. What he said to Onexia was to set up a game to fight His Majesty the Black Dragon King; What he said to Chromie and Khadgar was also to deal with His Majesty the Black Dragon King and the Demon Soul; And his dwarven brothers did not let him explain at all, and supported him unconditionally.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference hall became solemn.
At such a time, Sir Lothar, as the generalissimo of the Alliance, should come forward to ease the conflict: "Please calm down, the deliberation is for the safety and interests of the entire Alliance, we are now a family, and there is no problem that cannot be solved." ”
Yuregal sighed, his temper was the most steady, the least like a dwarf: "Previously, our king had been on the northern front. The king knew that after the fall of Grimbaatar, he only sent back a message that we were not allowed to attack rashly, but the king did not specify the specific reason. ”
Admitting death, a dwarf with a tendon, once he has a clear belief, no matter who comes, it will never make sense. Sir Lothar was so helpless that he was eager to rush to Dammod and ask Oss for the truth.
Seeing this, Khadgar had an idea in a flash, so he decisively shifted the focus of the leaders: "Didn't I just say that we destroyed a dragon roar cavalry squad today, and by chance, we also helped Krylestaz get out of control. I heard the adult red dragon say that Grimbaatar is not simple, and it seems that there is a hidden power that mortals can't fight. ”
Adult red dragon, a hidden, force that mortals cannot fight. These key words were indeed captured by the leaders.
Sir Lothar, who was in the main seat, nodded at Khadgar, and the two of them worked together as well as ever. Then, Sir Lothar threw out a message: "The Dwarven King, having settled the northern front, has set off for the south, and he will be there soon." As for the issue of regaining air supremacy, we can wait for the arrival of the Dwarf King to discuss it. ”
This time, no one had an opinion, and the dwarves were relieved, because it was a bit difficult for them to pretend to be confused.
However, Uther didn't mean to stop there, and his question pointed to the dwarves again: "One thing I have never understood is why the dwarven kingdom has always had reservations in this war that affects the entire continent?" ”
"Keep!?" Outraged, Kaderos slammed the table and roared, "We Hammer Dwarves have lost their royal city, and have sacrificed hundreds of brave young men, and even my son is still missing!" You say we have reservations!? ”
Facing the majesty of a king and an old dwarf, Uther bowed a paladin salute without humility or arrogance, and said: "I have seen it all, I am deeply saddened by the sacrifice of the Hammer Dwarves, and I am deeply honored to be able to fight side by side with the Hammer Dwarves!" However, it is precisely because I have everything in my eyes that I understand that the Dwarven Kingdom has the power to change the tide of battle, so I don't understand! ”
Calm and organized. Uther's questioning of the dwarven kingdom was a headache not only for Lord Lothar, but also for King Cardros.
This is because Uther was able to enter the Abyss of Blackstone as a paladin and meet the Black Iron Emperor Dagran Thorrisson. There, he saw with his own eyes the strength accumulated by the Black Iron Dwarves, and met the Knights of the Guardian Heart, the Mage Army, and the Golem Army formed by the Black Iron Dwarves.
However, when Uther proposed that the Black Iron Dwarves cooperate with the alliance to cut off the tribe's retreat, and then fight the Copperbeard tribe and the dwarf kingdom that held on to Danmoro, and fight the tribe on three sides, Dagran flatly refused and expelled him from the Blackstone Abyss.
Uther had brought it up to Sir Lothar after returning to the north, and had asked King Caderos about the reason, but in the end, the question was as close to the counterattack as Grimbaatar.
Yuregar stopped Bilsnot, who was about to open his mouth to curse, and explained: "This matter can only be decided by our king's reopening of the Three Hammers Council, and no matter how much it is discussed now, there will be no result." ”
Whether it is the dismantling of the Dragonthroat Clan or the reversal of the tide of the war, it seems that the Sons of Osmar Mountains have become the key to unavoidable.
At this moment, just as the frowning Uther was about to ask something more, a young Terran walked into the council chamber with a male Queldore Ranger.
