Chapter 92: The Battle of the Plague (10)
Redeem some of the possibilities....
Before I could get to the town hall, I looked behind me, at the army of Uther, which had not dispersed in the distance, and at Sylvanas, who had only joined us as a free army and had been ignoring me. I think it's a bit difficult to www.biquge.info but since Gianna said that, maybe I should do my best...
"Sylvanas?" I sighed and breathed her name
Maybe I said it unconsciously in my thoughts, and calling her in the crowd like this would only get one result.
"Human Prince, I am following you to fight because I think those natural disasters are a threat to us elves, so I have decided to join you in the Northern Expedition to Northrend, hoping that you will be clear about this. β
"I'm just confirming... Okay, I'm just checking to see if the troops still have your long-range support. I watched her still ignore me, and I could only pretend that I was very normal, and drag my cheeks to divert the embarrassment. Yes, the best way to do this is to make an effort to think about another problem that is very easy for me to divert my thoughts
Actually, it wasn't too hard to divert my attention at this time, looking at the devastation of the city and the remaining citizens who had shown fear of our presence, I did realize that I had done something wrong..... and now, I think that Uther did have every reason to be angry with me, or that I should really admit my mistake to him, and of course it would be better for someone to give me a step down.
"Then let's discuss some specific combat preparations first, and I believe that you should all go to the Northern Continent. β
"Of course, Your Highness, but we still need the support of Uther's army. Only we canβ" replied the nimble Thassarian, and I thanked him with a momentary look.
"I know, so I'll go to him now to discuss this matter, then you wait here first, and I'll go and persuade him to send troops to support us alone. β
I said this and was about to turn back, as for everyone naturally obeyed my orders and did not follow me, but just rested on the spot, but their eyes were almost still staring at me, yes, I believe they all knew that I should have confessed my mistake to him, or they still expected me to confess my mistake to the other one, although they did not know what the contradiction between me and her was.
Perhaps, I shook my head and didn't think about anything, but focused on how to deal with Uther, how to get him to give me half of my troops.
In fact, I know that no matter what I do, as long as it is not a mistake of principle, he will forgive me, after all, this paladin has always regarded me as his own, and in terms of the situation at that time, I was also forced to choose at that time, I believe that after calming down, or after he understands the situation, he will quickly realize this, after all, he will never believe that his apprentice is a ruthless bloodthirsty.
I thought so, and when I walked into them, I found that half of the troops had turned around and left, and the other half was coming towards me, led by the Silver Hand General, whom I least liked.
"Lord Garawind, my master he..."
"Back to the Gilneth front, of course, Your Highness Arthas. "My uncle explained to me that although he had always objected to me joining the Silver Hand, he still showed me great respect as a subject.
"What about you?" I asked them suspiciously, after all, they meant to encircle us like this, of course, this was a question of emotional thinking, in fact, it should be another kind of news that made me happy.
"You don't want troops to go on a northern expedition, we are. Galavind replied quietly.
"He supports my plan?"
"Yes...," Garawinder groaned, and his face became a little solemn. "We've heard rumors about that creature along the way, so we also think it's necessary to eradicate the source of the plague once and for all..."
"Then why is he..."
"Because of Gilneth, of course, if it weren't for them, I think he would have been at your disposal himself. Garawinder replied with a friendly smile, to which I naturally smiled.
"That's good..."
Yes, it's good that my actions are substantially supported by him, and he doesn't go personally, so that I don't have to be bound by his orthodox paladin conception to influence my tactical intentions, which is undoubtedly the best ending for me. Of course, this is not enough, after all, there is one more person who is better to leave as well...
"Lord Garawind, I want you to help me convey my apologies and thanks to my master, and I hope you can still be there for him to keep him safe. β
"But he told meβ" I interrupted his continuation before he could finish.
"I have mana by my side, and many powerful mages, even powerful creatures like red dragons, I don't think there will be a problem. I didn't wait for him to finish before I immediately rejected him. "I guess it's your front lines that are really difficult, and Gilneth has a lot of Kenrito members after all.
"I see, I'll bring your meaning to him. β
"Goodbye then. I bowed until he led his horse and turned away, and then I smiled wisely in my heart, for it meant that they were their own army....
Thinking so, I quickly turned to these troops, which were now at my disposal, and the first thing I wanted to do was to discipline them first.
"I think you should all know what enemy you are facing. β
"The believers of the demons, and the demons they summon. One soldier replied, and the rest nodded in agreement.
In the face of his answer, I was somewhat surprised that they still knew some information about the enemy, but many of them were imaginary imaginations, and they had no concrete understanding at all. I think it's important for them to understand this, after all, this is to strengthen their will and determination to go on the Northern Expedition, and I firmly believe that they should all be brave.
"It's not that simple, they can turn ordinary people into mindless puppet zombies, walking dead who are completely at the behest of their maker. I said this, and the soldiers didn't seem to realize the horror of this spell.
"This kind of spell is not very powerful. β
"Like, it's not as frightening as the dark spells of the orc warlocks. β
"Isn't it amazing? Think about what it would be like if someone around you fell under such a spell, lost one's earnest ability, turned into a dirty and ugly doll, and attacked one's fellow human beings without reason, I think a person would rather be reduced to ashes by the most devastating magic than be like that. β
"Is it like this...?Spell"
"Of course, my soldiers have experienced this feeling firsthand, when they see the people they love and their comrades waving their swords at me...", I closed my eyes and said to the somewhat timid soldiers, until everyone began to talk about it before continuing my question-style speech. "And that's why Uther and I are at odds. β
As I said this, most of the soldiers nodded in understanding of my actions, but since I had said so much, they naturally had deeper questions coming to me.
"Your Highness, since they can turn us into zombies, then how should we deal with them. β
"Of course, we will do everything we can to eliminate it as soon as possible. β
"But there will still be a lot of us who will become the kind of puppets you say. β
"Of course, but if we don't face it positively, we may all become puppets by then. I refuted the somewhat timid questioner, yes, and the meaning of the operation was to be rejected. "So we have to take advantage of his failure this time and go to the north to destroy their lair in one fell swoop, so that we can completely eliminate their threat. β
Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this, except for a few soldiers who were still a little greedy, still with doubts and concerns.
"Your Highness, will we be like Tulayan's expeditionary force and never return?"
"Is there a return?" I sneered, but then I fell into that worry again, yes, maybe there really will be no return, such as after I became like that, I quickly shook my head at this thought, and turned to concentrate on answering the question. "I can't guarantee that, but unlike them, we haven't left our world, Northrend is a northern continent, and if any of you want to leave, the warships of Kul Tiras can take you home and reunite with your family at any time, but I want to tell you that if we fail, hopefully you will have to take your family to a place free of demons, and you will see your family controlled by demons. β
"Your Highness, I didn't mean that, I just..."
"I see what you mean. I smiled and motioned to the soldier, yes, it is human nature to survive, and I naturally want to reassure them. "I want to tell you that our actions are supported by the Elven Volunteers, and not just them, a more ancient creature, the most troublesome creature in the war with the Horde, the Red Dragons, who have joined us in the war against the demons.
As I spoke, they whispered again, yes, this time it gave them a sense of hope compared to the fear of the last time, yes, everyone knew their might on the battlefield, and this undoubtedly gave them a great mental advantage, and a firm confidence in us.
"Red Dragons join us... That's great. β
"Your Highness, when are we going to go on a northern expedition. β
"Wait for Kultiras's naval transport ships to reach the northern coast, and before we do that, we need to repair the damaged Stratholme. β
At last I gave this order to them, and led them out into the city, yes, there is no quicker way to make them one than to let them do the work together. I thought so, and it turned out to be the same, and it did seem that there was nothing to explain to them, except to warn them not to eat the food here.
The first task is considered complete, and there is one more thing left to deal with.
Because the food here is no longer safe, there is only a small amount of food in the wheat field, and it needs to be checked by Luo Ning to confirm whether it is edible. So we people and refugees need a lot of food, and such a huge source of food needs to be obtained by elven rangers who are proficient in archery. So while we humans were repairing Stratholme, they went out into the wild to find food.
Or I can take the opportunity to have a private chat with Sylvanas, after all, if I can really save anything, this is the only opportunity.
