Chapter 44: News of the fall of Stormwind
Proving his conjecture, Xiao Yi instead smiled and said to Barton, the guard who was guarding in front of him:
"Hey, that guy of yours has the same name as you!" He pointed to one of the ogres. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Haha......" After hearing Xiao Yi's words, the guards paused for a moment, but soon broke out into a hearty whisper.
"Damn! I'm going to kill this ugly monster! It's a shame on me! Barton blushed at the laughter of the crowd and said viciously. It's just that his words made the guards laugh even louder.
Pushing away the guards, Xiao Yi came to the fence and asked the ogres again, "Why are you here?" Your master is probably attacking Stormwind, right? ”
After a moment of silence, the ogre named Gordon replied honestly, "My master has put me in charge of those damned kobolds!" As for Stormwind? It's been breached! ”
Without correcting the ogre's practice of recognizing the jackal as a kobold, Xiao Yi was more concerned about the news that Stormwind City had been breached!
Although it was expected that Stormwind City would be breached, once Stormwind City fell, then Xiao Yi would be under great pressure. Once Stormwind is breached, the huge orc army will temporarily lose its target!
But this does not mean that they will hibernate, I am afraid that the western wilderness close to Stormwind will immediately enter their field of vision, maybe they will not enter the western wilderness themselves, but send out a servant army to integrate the local gnolls and kobolds of the western wilderness for sure!
The gnolls with the support of the orcs are no longer the ones that could be bullied by a random motley army in the past. For example, this time, if Sharif's reaction wasn't fast enough, there were also warriors who could match the ogre.
I'm afraid that the sentinels will soon be overwhelmed by the ogres, and with it, a rout! It is conceivable that once the slow-moving sentinels are defeated, they will be completely annihilated!
This is still in the face of the miscellaneous troops integrated by the orc servant army, if the orcs find that there are humans by their side and can resist the attack of the motley army, will they send a large number of servant troops?
Even if Xiao Yi successfully resisted the attack of the servant army again, then the attack of the orc army would not be far away! Who is blind to potential threats around them? Especially on the premise of crossing the sea to continue the offensive?
Expand! Shrink the power! These two thoughts appeared in Xiao Yi's mind at the same time.
Although Xiao Yi has been doing his best to expand the army, the inefficient military camp has limited the speed of army expansion.
Shrinking forces seems to be the best course of action, but there are endless consequences. Compared with the orcs who are bound to fail in the end, Xiao Yi's bigger opponent is Stormwind City, if he doesn't take advantage of the master's absence, expand the snobbery as much as possible and absorb more people.
And when the royal family of Stormwind returns, will Stormwind, which has regathered its people, tolerate a guy of unknown origin to occupy its largest granary? Not even a small piece of land!
Even in the end, with the support of some people, Stormwind City had to canonize Xiao Yi with a noble title and the City of Angels as a territory. And then what? Become a pawn in the conspiracy of the Black Dragon? Entangled with the snobbery of the increasingly chaotic Wild West? Or will you rise up again and be hostile to Stormwind? None of them are what Xiao Yi wants.
There are only two ways in front of Xiao Yi, either to fight to the end with Stormwind City, and finally be crushed by Stormwind City. Either learn the orcs, take a goblin ship to the continent of Camlido, and then point to the existing lords and pop, and then develop the population.
The only people who can be compiled into an army of templars are humans! No other race is possible! You can't expect Xiao Yi's army to consist only of dire wolves and griffins!
If he gets the barbarian template, Xiao Yi will definitely not come to the Western Wilderness, he will definitely run to Camlido as soon as possible, to collect a large number of centaurs, and then also form an army based on mounted archery!
But if you don't shrink your power, it means fighting the orcs. Don't think that the orcs are too busy conquering the wider land to keep a small number of troops to play with, because they won't lose much time destroying the City of Angels!
The news of the fall of Stormwind City gave Xiao Yi a big headache, and he couldn't help but think that if he could control the gnolls himself......
"That's right!" Xiao Yi's eyes lit up.
"Will you serve me?" Facing the three ogres, Xiao Yi asked.
The language of the gnolls is so primitive that even the system can not be cracked, but these ogres can manage them, if these three ogres are recruited into their command......
"Balu will not betray his master!" As soon as Xiao Yi's words fell, an ogre roared.
Ignoring this ogre, Xiao Yi stared at the other two ogres, seeing that they were a little swaying, he continued to add chips and said: "I will not treat you like an orc, and at the same time give you the respect you deserve, as long as you serve me and help me rule the gnolls!" ”
In Xiao Yi's expectant gaze, the remaining two ogres finally slowly shook their heads in refusal.
"Alas~" sighed, Xiao Yi was not very disappointed, his head was hot just now, and he made such a condition, but even if they really expressed their willingness to take refuge, did Xiao Yi really dare to use it?
"Kill them all!" After giving the order to the guards, Xiao Yi strode out of the prison.
Of course, this does not mean that Xiao Yi has given up on the idea of integrating the Gnolls. There is no such powerful creature as an ogre, but Xiao Yi still has a troll!
The ancient creatures of Azeroth must have known how to enslave the gnolls, and not far from the western wilderness, in the Valley of Thorns, there is a tribe of jungle trolls, and the trolls of the Green Goblin mercenaries are from that tribe, the Gulabash clan.
Of course, Xiao Yi was cautious about this issue, because the troll clan had a tradition of cannibalism, and if a large number of trolls were appointed, it would cause panic among the people of the City of Angels.
For the time being, suppress the idea that integrating the gnolls, letting the gnolls fight the gnolls, and creating enemies for the orcs is just the illusion of the gnolls.
-------------------------
Xiao Yi still has more important things to deal with, that is, how to quickly expand the army and occupy Yuexi Town.
Nodding to Sharif, the chief of the guard could begin reporting on his plans. Xiao Yi found a comfortable position to sit on his throne. In addition to Sharif, Edie, the head of the mercenaries, Ratcliffe, the leader of the mercenaries, and Daniel, the leader of the Green Goblin mercenary group, were all present.
"My lord, first of all, I want to talk about the army." Sharif stood straight, and he looked around at everyone except Xiao Yi:
"Our elite soldiers, the training of the sentinels is very slow, but we urgently need soldiers who can fight! Therefore, I think that in addition to the Sentinel Corps, the reserves should be trained more deeply and better armed, so that they can cooperate with the Sentinels and fight the enemy head-on! ”
"And I suggest, continue to expand our army!"
