Act XXXIII Blitzkrieg I
"There's no way we're going to take the castle." Liliana slapped the table vigorously and said in a cautious tone, "Do you want all these soldiers to die?" ”
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, even if it is an attack, I am afraid that it will suffer huge losses, it is better to wait until the arrival of the Silver Knights, and then we can deal with these rebellious nobles and orcs without much effort." The cavalry captain on the side advises carefully, too.
Arthas stared at the two people at the table, then let out a sneer, and said coldly: "As far as I know, these Blackstone Orcs have attacked the three towns of Lordaeron before coming to the Alterac Snow Mountain, killing countless humans. ”
"At this time, more orcs are converging on the snowy mountain, if we can't solve this problem in a short time, I'm afraid we will be surrounded by orcs." Arthas said these words in a hurry, his fists clenched, not showing the slightest sign of relaxation.
"Do you want me to watch my people suffer like this?"
For a moment, the tent became unusually calm, except for the sound of the campfire burning. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Liliana's mouth, which was sitting on the side, and she said slowly: "But these orcs will eventually die, and the difference between smiles is only a moment earlier, or a moment later. Your Royal Highness, Dalaran's magic cannon has been aimed here. ”
"I promise you, as long as those orcs dare to converge on the snowy mountains, then they will only be destroyed."
"Hundreds of magic cannons have been aimed at the Alterac Mountains." Liliana said slowly.
Arthas frowned slightly, and he said in a high voice: "This is illogical, then why did you directly destroy the walls of the castle with magic cannons?" ”
Liliana snorted coldly and said, "Because this is unnecessary consumption, you must know that when the Knights of the Silver Hand come, they will be able to destroy this castle, whether it is inhabited by orcs or rebellious nobles." ”
"Knights of the Silver Hand, Knights of the Silver Hand." Arthas pressed his hand against the table and gritted his teeth, "Am I not a member of the Knights of the Silver Hand. ”
Locke calmly observed the whole process of this conflict, and he walked to the table, although he was not sure if Liliana was the blue dragon, but the plan that had just been generated in his mind had brought him to the table.
He observed both sides, and Arthas, though angry, was clearly convinced, while Liliana, who was not far away, looked at the castle carefully, not knowing what she was thinking.
On the strategic map on the table, there are small red flags, which represent the enemy's army, namely the Blackstone Tribe, the Alterac Guard, and the Noble Guard of the Alterac Kingdom.
Around the snow-capped mountains are Lordaeron blue banners, which represent the cavalry and the heavy infantry guards.
In fact, in Locke's heart, this battle had not yet begun, and it had already been won, so the quarrel between the two sides seemed particularly ridiculous to Locke's ears.
Because a plan for victory had been born in Locke's mind.
With a smile on his face, he looked at the Lordaeron military banner behind him, and said with a high business: "Everyone, I can break through this castle in three hours, as long as you give me the command." ”
Lordaeron's banner is an "L" with one of the blades thrust through it, with a blue background representing freedom and a sharp blade representing strength. But at this moment, the muttering on the political table was no longer in Locke's ears, and in his eyes, there was only a sharp blade.
"Three hours, my sir, even if you lead the army to rush to the castle, it will take half an hour, is it possible that all the enemies in the castle will stand in place and cut you down?" The first to speak was the cavalry captain, who was the commander of the Alsace guard, and he himself disapproved of the tactics of attacking the castle, but he could not stand up to His Royal Highness.
But as soon as Locke spoke, he immediately vented all the qi in his chest.
Locke didn't speak, and quietly heard the argument at the table.
"It's a joke, you know that even the head of the Silver Hand Knights would not be able to say such a thing."
"Another kid who doesn't know how thick the sky is."
Taunts ensued, but Locke didn't care, he cleared his throat and said, "Because only I can implement this tactic, but you can't." ”
"The long period of comfort has made you generals forget how to go to victory."
One sentence aroused the anger of many soldiers, who never imagined that someone would say such a rebellious thing in front of them.
Arthas raised his hand and said calmly, "Can you really defeat the orcs and nobles guarding the castle?" ”
Locke nodded, he stared at the map on the table and said: "Of course, with all due respect, the generals of Lordaeron will not fight after too long of peace, as long as they give me the army, it only takes a blitzkrieg to completely break the hearts of the enemy army." ”
Arthas nodded, he looked at the castle on the table, stroked the castle with his hand, and then he said slowly: "This is the territory of Lordaeron, these orcs can't occupy this place for a long time, Locke, although you are not my vassal, but I hope you can lead the army to defeat these orcs." ”
"Your Royal Highness, Prince Alsace, please think again."
"This is not a child's play, and this early battle will kill many of our soldiers."
But the quarrels were ineffective, and Locke looked at Arthas's trusting eyes and nodded cautiously.
He also wanted to get the king of Alterac out of the castle.
These Lordaeron soldiers are arguably the best help.
"I'd love to hear good news from you, but the castle isn't as easy to take as you think." Liliana suddenly said this, and she took a sip of the magic milk tea in her hand: "The orcs of the Blackstone tribe, even in the tribe, are very brave and warlike tribes. ”
"Not to mention, when they guard the castle, they have an army of nobles as an alliance. Not to mention just three hours, even if it is three months, it is difficult to say that this castle was captured. ”
Locke smiled slightly, and then said, "The power of magic is very mysterious, can I ask for your help?" The reason why I was so sure I could take this castle in three hours was because I counted the strength of the elven mage. ”
Liliana smiled at the corner of her mouth, "You're such an interesting person, I never said the elves would help you." ”
