Chapter 51: War Advisors
Oss sat down on the comfortable sofa with a slight depression, and the anger he had felt at the first hearing of the conspiracy had finally subsided. He pondered for a long time and asked directly www.biquge.info "Ilala, since the nobles have raised me to the same height as Tulayan, and I am tied with it, I don't think things will end so easily. Say, what am I going to give? Or rather, what price do we have to pay? ”
Baron Rivendell looked approvingly at his godson and replied with a bright smile: "The price is not negotiable, but it has to rely on us." First, no matter what that kid does, you just have to be better than him. You've done a fantastic job on that! ”
Oss nodded in understanding, and didn't answer.
"Second, military exploits." Baron Rivendell said as he took out the list of nobles written in advance, "Although the nobles and the nobles' troops do not belong to each other, it is natural for the strong to dominate the weak. Of course, they will also consider you personally, and if you are indeed trustworthy, then the people above and their troops will be secretly at your disposal. ”
Taking the list, Oss checked it from beginning to end, and although there were many surnames recorded in it, none of them were impressive to him. Thinking about it, big lords like the godfather, why should they befriend Os, a young man who has not returned home for a long time, and there is no need to engage in any conspiracy in private.
"Third, slaves!" Baron Rivendell finally said, gesturing a number with his right hand, "As long as you have merit, I will be able to make you move up the ranks quickly." But compared to the exploits of war, as long as you can bring back 6,000 slaves, Os, 6,000! Divide these slaves among the big lords in the kingdom and the small and medium-sized families who are attached to us, and I will be confident that you will be the youngest marshal in the history of the human race! When you and Her Highness Deliana are married and have children, after a few years of accumulation, it is only natural that you will be promoted to the rank of generalissimo! ”
"Hah!" Oss listened to it, he was really happy, and was amused by the thinking logic of the nobles, "Slave, you really dare to think!" Could it be that the nobles of the Six Kingdoms are all so optimistic? Could it be that now that the war has not yet begun, the nobles dare to guarantee victory? ”
Oss's words made Baron Rivendell stunned when he heard it, and he said in amazement: "Os, this confidence is what you brought to the kingdom!" The intelligence and war analysis of the orcs have been reported to your majesty as they are! ”
“……”
Oss couldn't think of any other adjectives other than to move stones.
Looking at the depressed and depressed expression on his godson's face, Baron Rivendell also came back to his senses, and lost the excitement he had just now: "I forgot about myself while talking, you are not interested in these things, and it is even more difficult to do things...... Alas, the youngest generalissimo of the Terrans! I don't think I can see it......"
"I'm sorry, Ilara......" Oss was silent for a moment, then raised the list in his hand and said, "I promised." ”
Baron Rivendell was stunned again, surprised by Oss's sudden change of mind. However, with Baron Rivendell's experience and experience, he quickly thought of the reason: "The reason why you agreed should it be for that hillbilly, right?" Do you know him? ”
Oss nodded, and there was no need to hide it from the godfather: "What kind of person Tulayan is, I will go to Lordaeron to see for myself." Before that, since they didn't want to see Tulayan stand out, then I could naturally fulfill their wish and stand up to balance him. But before I come to a cognitive conclusion, whoever is persecuting his own people with intrigues behind his back is my enemy! ”
"Hahaha!" Baron Rivendell was very happy, he patted Oss on the shoulder and said, "If you are willing to stand up for the interests of the aristocracy, naturally no one will do thankless work again, don't worry." ”
"In that case, Ilara, good night." It was not early, and the militia was about to leave the next day, and Oss said goodnight to the godfather.
"Good night, my son." Baron Rivendell stood up to see Oss off, and suddenly said something else, "I've already settled the people who want to kill you." ”
Oss paused, and stood in place, speechless.
"Dare to hire a killer from the League of Assassins, he really impresses me! If he had used this guts in the right place earlier, I wouldn't have minded giving him some possessions. But since he has done it and failed, he has to have the courage to bear the consequences. ”
"How's he doing?" Oss couldn't help but ask.
"On the other side of the mountain, I worked as a coolie for ten years." Baron Rivendell said vaguely, "Alright, Os, this matter is over, go to sleep." ”
With that, Baron Rivendell immediately summoned his servants and asked him to wait for Oss to return to his room to rest. As if he was afraid that Oss would intercede for the relative who wanted to kill him, he turned around and left.
However, this night was another sleepless night for Oss. As he gets more and more intelligence and information, there will only be more things he needs to consider and wants to prepare for in advance.
Sitting in his room, Oss wrote and changed on the paper, and the night passed quietly. If it weren't for the strength of his soul, Os, who had been working almost every night, would have fallen before he reached Lordaeron and arrived at the front line of Lokmodan.
At dawn the next day, Oss had a casual breakfast and rode to the godfather's secret manor.
Then, according to the plan set yesterday, Oss returned to Stratholme with Uncle Gigax. Kudran, on the other hand, took Dewar and four Hammerhammer Griffon Knights to wait near the Sodoril Bridge in advance.
When Oss and Uncle Gigax returned to Stratholme. At this time, the sun had risen, and on the square and stone bridge outside the town gate, the militiamen who had already put on the uniform armor were lining up under the command of the grassroots aristocratic officers.
Without taking a few more looks, after Oss found the godfather, the four Trojans, who had been waiting for him, moved out of the wooden box they had been carrying. And in the wooden box is the armor given to him by his teacher, the King of the Mountain, when Oss left three hundred years ago!
After taking off his coat, trousers, and shoes, Oss put on the prepared characteristic undershirt, leather shin guards, and padding, and combed his hair, and with the help of the Trojan Four, he began to put on his armor.
The golden eagle-winged helmet, with steel wings stretched out at the temples, soars like an eagle; Huge black trefoil shoulder armor, with complex craftsmanship, layer after layer; The full-coverage cuirass was clearly tailor-made for Os, and was extremely form-fitting, with a distinctly dwarven pattern on the chest; Hand armor, shin armor, leg armor, combat boots, when Troy fastened all the hinges and ring beats, the fully equipped Oss has become completely different!
When you move your shoulders, you can make a sonorous sound, and the huge shoulder armor can even touch your head. And Oss, who had never worn armor, couldn't help but feel very unwell.
At this time, on the huge stone bridge with a width of 30 meters and a length of more than 300 meters, as well as the square in front of the gate of the town, 12 militiamen were in a column, and 25 were in a phalanx, and a total of 3,000 militiamen in ten squares had already finished lining up and were waiting silently.
Under the sun, the spear stood upright like a forest, and the snow-bright blade exuded a cold air! Even if these 3,000 militiamen had only been trained and had never been on the battlefield, the gray-white uniform armor of the Lordaeron Kingdom actually made the militiamen lined up at this moment have a tragic atmosphere!
Oss took Uncle Gigac, Morgan, Troy, Trogda, Seth, and Marcus, each on a horse also draped in armor, and together with Baron Rivendell, they slowly moved from the rear of the militia, and finally came to the front of the line.
For a while, not only the three thousand militiamen, but also the nobles who came here to see them off, and the people of Stratholme also focused their eyes. However, Baron Rivendell did not stand on the throne or speak, and like everyone else, he waited for the action of Aussland.
"Drive." Gently clamping the horse's belly, riding his war horse and taking two steps forward, Oss looked at the militiamen waiting in front of him. His gaze swept over one unfamiliar face after another, either immature or mature.
At this moment, an incredible feeling suddenly rose in Os's heart! It was the feeling he had when he first came to Azeroth, the feeling he had when he had just met Kudran, the feeling he had when he had met one famous person after another, it was him......
And now, the unbelievable thing in Os's heart is that he has gone from an ordinary earth youth to now he is about to lead a force to the battlefield!
The atmosphere slowly turned eerie, and everyone kept their mouths closed, holding their breath, waiting for Oss to speak. Oss was still looking at the boys standing in front of him.
At this time, Oss actually knew in his heart that he had to make a move. Although he has never joined the army and has never led a soldier at all, he understands! He understands that if he wants to become a qualified commander of a new army, he should at least do three things now, establish authority, establish rules, and establish trust!
If you are very eloquent, and you can give some passionate speeches at this time, it will be the best!
In the end, however, Osmar only moved the power of the mountains, and said aloud: "I, Osmar Garitsus, with the rank of major, am the commander of the militia of Stratholme, Blackwood, and Talonshire. ”
That's all there is to it, disappointing everyone who was expecting a great debut from Oss.
Then Oslang shouted: "Jigax! ”
"Yes!" Uncle Jigax's loud voice, even if it is not deliberately heightened by force, can be heard by everyone. When he took two steps forward without skillfully controlling the warhorse, everyone's eyes widened and they looked at the strong dwarf who suddenly appeared inexplicably!
"He, Jigax Iron Fist, is a war advisor I hired from the Dwarven Kingdom!" Oss pointed to Uncle Gigax and introduced everyone, then nodded to the uncle.
Jigax had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and the plan had been arranged a long time ago. After he jumped off his horse, he kept laughing and walked to the recruits step by step with a freehand face! And with every step he took, his momentum climbed by one point, and the earthy yellow light on his body was even richer!
When Jigax reached the stone bridge, almost everyone in the militia was close enough to breathe that they had forgotten what it meant to breathe! They all stretched out their heads, opened their mouths wide, and looked at the petrified body behind it, a powerful stone statue that was two meters tall and four meters high, with a deep light!
"Bang!"
Bending his knees and springing to the ground, the hard stone bridge ground was instantly stepped out of a pothole by the gigax who jumped high! The stones flew and knocked down the nearest militia!
"Drink!"
The power of the earth, which was gathered to the extreme, was swung out by Jigax with a punch, and it blasted into the moat on the side of the stone bridge from the sky!
"Boom!"
The surface of the flowing river suddenly stagnated, and an extremely deep whirlpool appeared, reaching the bottom of the river! The upside-down river was lifted into a curtain of water, reflecting the brilliance of the sun, and a steaming rainbow appeared in an instant! "Wow, whoa, whoa!"
In a moment, water droplets fell from the sky, sprinkling the militia phalanx that was staggering!
"Bang!"
Jigax slammed to the ground, and in the midst of the rocks, it was him, the war advisor, the Iron Fist of prestige!
