Chapter 489: Competing for Resources
Thrall was shocked when he heard Walker say that the orc army had marched into the Centaur Oasis, he galloped all the way and didn't receive any news of the troops, but he didn't expect Moroccan Dan to dare to act without his own knowledge, it's really damn good. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Thrall now had no time to talk to Walker, so he left the Araso barracks with Gazruvi and Woking, and galloped towards the Centaur Oasis.
When Thrall came to the outskirts of the Centaur Oasis, he was stopped by several orc skirmishers, who shouted: "Great Chief, you want to avenge us, the centaurs and boarmen have attacked our troops, and Lord Moroccan Dan has been killed by the centaurs, and his head has been planted on their battle flags, and the orc army has been defeated." ”
Sal was stunned as if struck by lightning, and only after a while closed his eyes and said, "How many of you are left?" ”
The orc said, "I don't know, there are only a few of us left in our thousand-man team." ”
Thrall let out a heart-rending roar, if it was just Moroccan Dan's death, Thrall would not have such an atmosphere, but let the entire army of orcs in the barren land suffer such a heavy blow, Thrall can't bear it, without these armies, the orcs can no longer control the barren land. What's even more terrifying is that the orcs have already made enemies on all sides in order to fight for land, and now they have suddenly suffered such a heavy blow, they are afraid that there will be hostile forces to take advantage of the fire and rob.
Thrall ordered the orcs to gather the remnants of the orcs and go to the outside of the Arasso barracks to standby, and Thrall took Gazluvi and Wojin to the Arasso's barracks again.
Thrall now wants to stabilize Walker, most of the barren land has been robbed, Walker must be unhappy in his heart, plus Walker's sister was attacked by orcs twice, and disputes at sea, the relationship between the tribe and Arathor is already close to the point of full-scale war, Thrall has just lost the orc army in the barrens, in case Walker's Arathor army goes north, plus the troops of Stonetalon Mountain go east, then the orcs will definitely lose the barren land, and what is even more terrifying is that if Walker does not stop, Durontar will not have many troops to call.
Sal thought firmly: "There must be no war at this time, if Moroccan Dan's troops are not damaged, Sal still has some confidence, and now he has no confidence." ”
Thrall arrives at Walker's tent, where Walker is pretending to be holding a book.
Walker looked at Sal and the others with a little surprise, and said to Sal, "I'm back so soon, but have you found out?" ”
Thrall was angry in his heart, Walker's army was not far from the Centaur Oasis, even if he got the news later, he must have known the news that the orc army in the Barren Land had been almost wiped out, but he wanted to let himself go, the intention was self-evident.
Thrall took a deep breath and said: "How to check, King Walker doesn't know that the orc army in the Barrens has been defeated in the Centaur Oasis, and they are all killed in battle, what else do you want to check?" ”
Walker didn't explain, and said to Thrall: "Sal, let's discuss the future development, the orcs in the barren land, you must withdraw, or I will send troops, this is the land I promised to the Minotaur tribe, what is the matter with you stepping around." ”
Walker didn't care much about the barren land originally, but what the orcs did made Walker feel angry, even if he didn't want the land, he didn't want to leave it to the orcs, and took advantage of the great loss of strength in the barren land to take the barren land back first.
Wojin took a step forward and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Thrall, who said: "Yes, I will order all the orcs in the Barren Land to withdraw from the Barren Lands, but your men must also withdraw from Durontar." ”
Walker was stunned for a moment, when did he send troops to Durontal, Walker said: "I don't have troops in Dulongtar, how to evacuate." ”
Wojin couldn't help it and said loudly: "You humans are killing orcs and trolls everywhere in Durontar, do you want to say that you don't know about this?" Didn't our tribe form a naval fleet just to counter the sea fleets that you attack everywhere? Walker, don't be too shameless. ”
After Woking finished speaking, he turned his head again, and turned it forty-five degrees upward, Walker said in his heart: "I haven't pretended to be so forced, Wojin, you put it on first." ”
But Woking's words made Walker a little puzzled, and said solemnly to Sal: "Most of my Arasso's fleet is on the Eastern Continent, fighting against the Scourge, and there are not many fleets in Kalimdor, are you sure it's my Arasso's fleet?" ”
Walker had a bad premonition, could it be Admiral Dai Lin, in the alliance, in addition to himself, the only one who can have such a powerful fleet is the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, but the natural disaster battle is at a critical moment, what is Dai Lin doing here.
Sal and Wojin were stunned, even Gazruwe was also shocked, and Sal hurriedly said, "Walker, are you sure that the army in Dulongtar is not yours?" ”
"I'm sure, definitely, and definitely," Walker said. The behemoth of the Alliance is not only our human kingdom in Alatho, but also the kingdom of Kul Tiras, the kingdom of Stormwind, the kingdom of Gilneth, the kingdom of Lordaeron and the current kingdom of Dalaran are still under my control, all I can guarantee is that my army is not stationed in Durontar, I don't know which country's army attacked you. ”
Although Walker is sure in his heart, he can't sell his teammates, so let's advocate the strength of the alliance first and deter the tribe and goblins.
Thrall and Wojin looked at each other, they had always thought that it was the army of the Kingdom of Araso, but they didn't expect it to be other human kingdoms, Wojin said: "I'm sorry, King Walker, I always thought that it was your army that attacked our homeland, so I was a little fierce in my words, please forgive me." ”
Thrall said, "Walker, is there a way to get the human kingdom that attacked us to collect its troops? After all, we want peace, not war. ”
Walker felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, Sal and Woking both softened, and hurriedly went down when he had the steps, and said to Sal: "I don't know which human kingdom it is, you must know that in the alliance, each kingdom is independent of each other, although there are a lot of exchanges, and they can help each other, but they can't interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, I will help you coordinate, if it's the Stormwind Kingdom that has risen recently, it's okay, their strength is not very strong, If you run into the mighty Kurtilas army and the Gilneth army, which has always maintained its strength, it will be difficult to say, rest assured, I will do my best. ”
Sal and Woking said a sincere word of please, and then left, and Walker immediately sent someone to inform Gianna of Admiral Deline's arrival, and told her to send all the elite troops of the alliance to the barren land.
Admiral Dai Lin came at a critical moment on the battlefield of the Catastrophe, and Walker always felt that something was wrong. Walker ordered Bai Yi to go north with a large army to occupy the area occupied by the orcs before, ordered Qin Er to return to Stonetalon Mountain, preside over the military and political affairs of Stonetalon Mountain, and took the Alaso Royal Guards to Thunder Cliff to pick up his sister, the originally expected war did not break out, and now that the alliance has an absolute advantage, it is time to send my sister home.
Soon after entering Mogore, he encountered Kane's Minotaur troops, Walker was amazed, the minotaurs' marching speed was so slow, and after briefly explaining the general situation to Kane, he left with his sister.
Kane watched Walker's back as he left, and his mind couldn't help but weigh the future development path of the Minotaur tribe.
Although the Minotaur joined the alliance, no one knew how strong the alliance was, and he originally thought that relying on strong neighbors could keep the Minotaur tribe, but the alliance sent a strong army from time to time, which made the strong neighbors he thought unbearable, and he had to go to Walker to adjust, Kane's mind began to roll.
Kane shook his head, no matter how the situation outside changes, the development policy of the Minotaur clan cannot be changed, rest and recuperate, and will not send troops to help any other forces in the short term.
After Thrall left, he ordered all the orcs in the barren land to withdraw to Durotal, and ordered the navy to find out which country's army was attacking the tribe, and the best way to get the banner.
Walker rushed north of the Barrens with his sister and the royal guards of Arathasor, and Gianna, who had arrived a little earlier than Walker, saw Walker coming, and hurriedly asked, "Is my father really here?" ”
Walker nodded and said: "Can't be wrong, the naval fleet that can make the tribe anxious, except for the Araso Kingdom, is only the Kul Tiras Kingdom, and I don't know what Admiral Dai Lin thinks, he actually withdrew from the natural disaster battlefield at such a critical time." ”
There was a slight reproach in Walker's words, and Walker also ordered the First Fleet and the Fourth Army of Arathas to go to the aid of Dai Lin, and once Dai Lin left, what should the troops he sent go.
Gianna said: "I still have to ask my father about the specific situation, and I have sent troops to reconnoiter the specific location of my father's fleet, and I believe that the results will be obtained soon." ”
Rhyss said, "Can we go home?" ”
Ress is tired of Kalimdor, most of the land here is relatively desolate, where is there a riptide fort to look at, and in Kalimdor, Ress is a lot of trouble, and has long wanted to leave.
Walker touched Rose's head lovingly and said, "Yes, we're going home." ”
Although Ress didn't like her brother's habitual movements, she was satisfied with the answer.
Gianna said, "You're gone, what about your troops?" ”
Walker said: "Leave it to Bai Yi to deal with, he is the marshal of Kalimdor, I believe that he can handle the affairs of the army, the north of the barren land, it doesn't matter if you want it or not, I don't have any ideas, as long as Stonetalon Mountain is still in my hands." ”
Gianna said, "Is it true that the messenger you sent said that my father had come to Kalimdor with a fleet and that they were attacking the Horde?" ”
Walker nodded and said, "Yes, Thrall said that a human fleet attacked them and established a stronghold in Durondal, his orc clan and Woking's troll clan were severely damaged, I think, in the human kingdom, apart from Aratho's fleet, only Admiral Darein's Kurtilas fleet has this strength." ”
Gianna frowned and said, "What are we going to do, help my father, kill the tribe, or help the orcs, against my father?" ”
Gianna was a little unsure, if it was before Mount Hyjal, Gianna would stand firmly on her father's side, but in the battle of Hyjal, the heroic performance of the orcs made Gianna think that the orcs still had merit, and when she heard that her father wantonly killed them, Gianna's heart was a little uncomfortable.
Walker said firmly: "As a member of the alliance, the king of Aratho, if there is an irresolvable war between the orcs and Kurtiras, I will definitely choose to side with the kingdom of Kul Tiras, after all, the interests of the alliance are above all else, and attacking and defending the alliance is not just talking." ”
Walker glanced at Gianna, he is still the king of Aratho, can you, a princess of Kul Tiras, do you do against your father?
Walker looked at Gianna and didn't speak, and then said: "It's just that the current situation is far from that point, I will try my best to resolve their disputes, if it really doesn't work, we will persuade Admiral Dai Lin to return to the Eastern Continent." ”
Gianna nodded thoughtfully, persuading her father to return to the Eastern Continent was indeed a feasible plan.
When Gianna left, Walker thought about the future of the Alliance, the so-called dragon without a head, since the establishment of the Alliance, has always been dominated by humans, and the first power of mankind, Lordaeron, is even more indispensable, and now after the death of King Terenas Minehir, King of Lordaeron, the Alliance has lost its supreme leader in a sense. There are now three candidates in the league who are most likely to become the leaders of the new generation.
The first candidate was King Dai Lin of the Kingdom of Kurtilas, the Admiral of the Alliance, and in terms of seniority, Dai Lin was the only remaining king of the older generation of monarchs, the most senior, the most accomplished in war, and one of the candidates who made many significant contributions to the Alliance. Its prestige and strength are among the best in the alliance, and its naval strength is definitely the first in the alliance.
The second candidate is King Walker of King Aratho, who became the grandson-in-law of Terenas Minehir, and inherited the power of the kingdoms of Lordaeron and Dalaran, as if he were already the first power of mankind. And it is also shouldering the heavy responsibility of fighting against the Scourge Legion, and can become a strong competitor in terms of personal strength and military strength.
The third candidate is Varian, the king of Stormwind, although Stormwind has risen recently, but its strength should not be underestimated, Varian has the support of the dwarves of Ironforge Castle, the dwarves support Stormwind, and the dwarves wear a pair of pants of the dwarf, and will also support Varian, although Varian is not comparable to the first two in terms of personal prestige and military strength, but with the support of the two races, his voice is not lower than the first two.
Walker is interested in the position of leader of the league, because Walker knows the direction of history and can better lead the league to glory, but in the face of two strong competitors, Walker really has a hard choice, and Walker fell into deep thought.
Walker thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to support Dai Lin, the alliance forces in the Lordaeron continent are almost all controlled by himself, and in the south, Varian, with the help of dwarves and gnomes, has almost formed a southern group, if Kurtilas of the island country is the leader of this alliance, it will be more fair in handling affairs, and he will not let himself and Varian have too much dissatisfaction, for the overall situation of the entire alliance, make a little necessary sacrifice, Walker can still do it, anyway, the Lordaeron continent is controlled by himself, His strength is strong, even if Dai Lin really did something excessive, he just had to be self-reliant, and it was not like he had never done something like this.
On this day, Gianna came to Walker and said, "Walker, I already have news of my father, he has established a city in a place called Theramore, where can we go to find him." ”
Walker and Gianna went to Theramore that day, and found many Alliance troops along the way, but fortunately, Gianna, the princess of Kul Tiras, was there, but there was no delay on the way.
As soon as Gianna arrived at the realm of Theramore, Dai Lin received the news of her daughter's arrival, and led a group of soldiers to rush with excitement, they still had a strong smell of seawater, Dai Lin said excitedly to Gianna: "Gianna, I am so happy to see that you are still alive, they all say you." ”
Before Dai Lin finished speaking, he saw Walker next to him, a purple-gold level warlock, which made Dai Lin, who was a paladin, wary of Walker, and whispered to Walker, "Who are you?" You sent my daughter back? ”
Walker hurriedly explained the reason for his change, and Gianna testified, finally convinced Dai Lin that the warlock in front of him was the king of Alaso in his impression, Dai Lin said in surprise: "Walker, you don't command the battle on the battlefield of the natural disaster, what are you doing in Kalimdo." ”
The elite of the kingdom of Aratao is at the end of the world, fighting on the battlefield of the natural disaster, and a decisive battle may break out at any time, as the king of the kingdom of Araso, he does not command the battle on the battlefield of the natural disaster, but runs to Kalimdo, which makes Dai Lin incomprehensible. Dai Lin thinks that Walker is derelict in his duty and does not take the lives of Araso's soldiers seriously, and as a veteran general, Dai Lin is very angry at Walker's behavior.
Walker said in his heart, "What about me, aren't you coming to Kalimdo too?" ”
Walker vaguely explained: "There was one thing that had to be taken care of, and I had to rush to Kalimdor right away. ”
Dai Lin said with some displeasure: "What can be more important than Arasuo's national fortunes, if Arasuo's army is defeated on the battlefield of natural disasters, do you know what this thinks?" ”
Walker said calmly: "I know, but Arasuo's army will not be defeated, I am very sure of this matter, so I dare to leave and fill in the battlefield." ”
Dai Lin asked suspiciously, "Are you so confident?" After you are gone, who will lead Aratho's army? ”
Walker said: "There is civil strife in the Scourge Legion, according to reliable sources, the Dreadlord is revolting, and Arthas has left his main force behind Andohar, they are now unable to attack, and my army of Arathor is under the command of my henchman General Mano, whose talent is no less than mine, absolutely foolproof." ”
Dai Lin saw that Walker was so sure, and the anger in her heart dissipated a lot, and when she thought of Walker sending her baby daughter back, she didn't have the anger she had before.
Dai Lin said, "What is so important that you can come to Kalimdor immediately." ”
Walker saw Dai Lin asking, and also said the general situation, but he didn't dare to say that the orcs attacked his sister, if Dai Lin knew, it would only add fuel to the fire, Walker said: "My sister was held hostage by the boar people, I have to negotiate, otherwise they will kill my sister, the natural disaster battlefield is already in the stalemate stage, there will be no change in the short term, I will give priority to this urgent matter." ”
Walker added the word "imminent" to tell Dai Lin that his sister's life and death were at stake.
Walker was stunned when he saw Dai Lin, probably because he didn't expect that he would come to Kalimdor for his sister, so he changed the topic and said to Dai Lin: "Admiral Dai Lin, aren't you fighting in the Tirisfal Woodlands?" How did Kalimdor come too. ”
Dai Lin sighed and said: "My army has fought with the Scourge Legion many times in the Tirisfala Glade, but unfortunately, it has never been able to break through the defense line of the Scourge Legion, and the results achieved are also pitiful, recently the Scourge Legion has increased its strength and driven my army out of the Tirisfal Glade, I was forced to evacuate with the fleet, someone revealed to me that my daughter Gianna was killed by the orcs in Kalimdor, so I came to Kalimdor with the army to settle accounts with the orcs." ”
Dai Lin's hatred of orcs is very serious, and Dai Lin loves her daughter very much, Gianna, as early as World War II, Dai Lin was forced to go to the battlefield, and her care for Gianna can be said to be almost nothing, and then Gianna was sent to Dalaran, and the opportunity for father and daughter to contact is even less, and suddenly heard that her daughter was killed by orcs, and it is strange that Dai Lin is not mad.
Walker secretly thought in his heart that Dai Lin came to Kalimdo for her daughter, and she came to Kalimdo for her sister, and her heart was a lot more balanced.
Walker tried to persuade Dai Lin: "Since Gianna is fine, please General Dai Lin quickly withdraw his forces and stop attacking the orcs, although I don't have a good impression of the orcs, but we used to fight side by side with the orcs in the Hyjal Holy War, and they still have merit on the battlefield against the Burning Legion, Dai." ”
Before Walker could finish speaking, Dai Lin interrupted Walker's words and said excitedly: "I heard me right, the king of Arathso interceded for the orcs, do you know how many humans died when the orcs invaded Azeroth?" What kind of calamity has befallen your kingdom of Alaso? Now that you're speaking for the orcs, I'm really mistaken about you. ”
Dai Lin looked at Walker very angrily, as the king of Araso, he had no position and actually spoke for the orcs.
Gianna hurriedly persuaded her father: "Father, the orcs have changed a lot, they used to be bewitched by the Burning Legion, many things were not their original intention, they also paid a terrible price for their crimes, now they just want peace and a place to live, why should we bother with each other?" ”
