Chapter 206: Ewell's Sigh
No matter what Pelision said of Leo, whether he cursed him for being a bleak soul or praised him for being a good man, the fate of the red dragon was the same - to sell coolies.
This is fate, and as a thug, you should have this awareness.
There's a movie line that says: Close the door, let the dogs go! In fact, whether it is a dog - Hellhound or a dragon - Pelicion, they are all thugs, so the words of closing the door and letting the dogs go are actually a greeting: thugs, get started, come and beat people.
It must be uncomfortable to be called around, otherwise the dogs will be so fierce when they beat people? Doesn't this clearly use beating people to vent the depression in your heart?
Don't say that this doesn't make sense, you see, isn't Pelicion a clear proof of that?
The red dragon, who was depressed by Leo, was ruthless when he chased and killed the deadwood troll, and the dragon flame spewed out a big mouth, and from time to time he also performed a unique trick of breathing fire, and the deadwood troll in the rout screamed and was burned to a charcoal.
Fortunately, Leo's ability to absorb corpses has a good appetite, and he can eat even charred corpses, otherwise he would not dare to let Pelicion go up.
Hunting down a defeated Deadwood Troll is easy, but the battle is tricky. In addition to cleaning up the battlefield, the soldiers had to rebuild the defenses of Deadwood Village.
Leofe made all this effort to capture Deadwood in order to establish a stronghold in the Arathi Heights, but at the same time, he had another purpose.
Magic Communication Stones, see also Magic Communication Stones! This communication prop, which is similar to a mobile phone on Earth, appeared in Leo's hand again, and he began to dial...... No, it's a communication request to Pasonia.
"Leo, what's the matter?" Pasonia's voice soon rang out.
"Pasonia, I've taken Deadwood Village."
“……”
There was silence at the other end of the communication stone.
The kingdom ordered Leo to go to the Valley of Refuge to support the Arathso coalition army, but he ran to the village of Deadwood in the other direction, which was clearly disobeying the king's orders, and disobeying the king's orders was a capital crime.
"What are you going to do?"
Pasonia's tone was not very solemn, and Leo heard something from it. As long as you have enough reasons, charges such as disobedience may not be pressed on your head.
There are people in the DPRK who are good officials, and this is really true.
If you change to no backstage and no background, you will definitely die if you dare to do this.
After revealing his plans to Pasonia, Leo told her that he occupied Deadwood Village in order to form a corner with the Valley of Refuge, and to put pressure on the undead's Hammer Fall from both directions, and that once the Deadwood Village and the Valley of Refuge were connected, they would be able to cut the connection between the undead army at the Sador Bridge and Hammer Town, forcing the undead army to retreat. As long as the army of the undead on the Sadol Bridge retreats, the passage between the Arathi Heights and the outside world will be opened.
"That's a good idea, but I'm a little worried, can you hold Deadwood Village until reinforcements arrive? I've gotten the word that the undead army attacking the Valley of Refuge suddenly lost 30,000 men a few days ago, do you know what that means? ”
With that said, I have an extra tail behind me, which is worth 30,000, and I may have another fight with the undead army. No, not a possibility, but a certainty. Don't forget the undead stalker, he'll be sure to get the news in.
Leo's face was a little solemn, there were less than three thousand soldiers under his command, and although the Deadwood Trolls were defeated and lost, they still killed dozens of dragon-blooded warriors when they resisted. Coupled with the more than 100 people killed in the battle that stormed the Sador Bridge, the actual number of soldiers under Leo's command was only about 2,800.
An army of 30,000 undead, which is eleven times the number of enemies, and these enemies are not natives with only stone spears and stone axes, such as the trolls of Deadwood Village, they belong to the army of the Undercity, and they are regular troops.
"I'm a warlock, and it's not just my men who wait for the undead army to come and guard Deadwood Village." Leo has his own answer.
He is a warlock, a warlock with a summoning ritual, and as long as he is given time, it will not be difficult to pull an entire army to Deadwood Village.
Pasonia was silent for a moment, then gave Leo bad news.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to pull people. Yesterday a battle plan was submitted, which His Majesty had approved, and now the entire expeditionary force was busy, each with its own tasks. ”
Hearing this, Leo still didn't understand, this was definitely a deliberate mistake, they were afraid that they would use the warlock's unique summoning ritual to help the Storm Expeditionary Force, so they would make such a battle plan.
Those nobles want me to die!
Leo's eyes twinkled.
"Pasonia, are you interested in coming to Arahi?"
"Leo, I can't protect you all the time."
Pasonia was a little unhappy, what's the matter with this kid, or does he want to ask others for help whenever he is in trouble? With such a mentality, when will he be able to stand alone?
"Don't get me wrong, I meant to ask if you're interested in demonic strikes. Half a day ago, I met an undead stalker with two demonic strikes in his hands, and I thought you were interested. ”
"Demon Strike?"
Pasonia's voice fluctuated noticeably, showing how attractive the weapon was to her as a stalker.
"Could it be him? No way, if you meet him, you will definitely die. ”
Pasonia's words made Leo roll his eyes, and I said, "I don't think you think about people like you."
"Leo, wait for me to contact you."
If she comes, I'll say, Pasonia won't be able to refuse the attraction of the demon's blow. Someone smirked, he felt much more at ease with Pasonia by his side, and if that undead stalker dared to trouble me again, he would definitely find that he had kicked a spiked iron plate, and it was a red-hot one.
With Pasonia in the dark, the red dragon Pelicion in the light, and two epic powerhouses guarding him, Leo felt much more down-to-earth.
It's a bad feeling to be targeted by a stalker with epic prowess, and if the undead dares to come back, I'll have to kill him even if I reveal a hole card. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, and Leo doesn't want to spend all the time trying to guard against a dagger that an epic stalker will stab at some point.
Private security is solved, but there is not much that Leo can do about the impending war. On one side is the human regular army under his command, and on the other side is the undead army of the Undercity, both of which are regular troops, 3,000 to 30,000, and Leo does not have much confidence in his heart.
The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the specific results will only be known after the fight.
Unbeknownst to Leo in Deadwood Village, Pasonia rushed to the palace as fast as she could.
Anduin the Younger, King of the Kingdom of Stormwind, sat on his throne and pondered, and Pasonia reported to him about Leo's actions in the Arathi Heights. Instead of obeying the king's order to take refuge in the valley, Leo ran to Deadwood Village, which is indeed a felony, but he played it beautifully, if an army can gain a foothold in Deadwood Village, and then use this place as a stronghold for the expeditionary force in the Arathi Highlands, then the entire battle situation in the Arathi Highlands will be greatly changed, and this transformation is what the Stormwind Kingdom is happy to see.
Punish Leo, what this guy did is obviously beneficial to the entire kingdom, but don't punish him, everyone else will learn from him in the future, what should I do if I don't obey the king's orders?
"Ewell, Leo is from your MI7, what do you think?" Anduin Jr. paid his respects to Ewell, who had come with Pasonia. Janden asked, it seemed that the little king was trying to kick the ball to MI7.
When Ewell heard that he had been named by the king, he first saluted Anduin before replying: "Your Majesty, Leo should indeed be punished for disobeying the king's orders, but the situation on the battlefield is constantly changing, and Leo has no choice but to act in favor of the kingdom according to the specific situation. I think he should be allowed to make meritorious deeds, defend Deadwood Village, and wait for reinforcements from the kingdom. ”
Well, after Ewell's words, things are back to square one, that is, Leo is neither punished nor rewarded, and Leo, who is far away in the Arathi Heights, still has to rely on his own strength to fight against the 30,000 undead army that follows. And the leaders of the Stormwind Kingdom will do nothing in this time, waiting for the end of the war as if it is none of their business.
If Leo had held Deadwood Village in the midst of the undead army's attack, everything would have been fine, and Stormwind's reinforcements would have arrived later; If he fails, everything will naturally be over, and the army of the undead will not let him go, a human warlock in the legendary realm. Even if he could escape from the undead, the Stormwind Kingdom would charge him with disobedience.
Pasonia's face sank, although she had expected such an ending, but when it really happened, she was still unhappy. This is clearly the result of a compromise between His Majesty and the nobility for the sake of the stability of the kingdom, and it smells of letting Leo who has laid down Deadwood Village fend for himself.
Walking out of the palace, Ewell suddenly sighed.
"Pasonia, tell Leo that if you can't do it, give up Deadwood Village, and don't fight there. Only when we are alive can there be hope, and when we die, there is no hope. ”
As the saying goes, open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, and since the nobles who hate Leo can plot against him for the first time, they can plot against him for the second time and the third time...... Even if Leo can dodge it this time, what about next time? What about next time? No one can guarantee that they will always be favored by the god of fate. If the nobles continue to calculate endlessly, they will one day be able to get their hands on it.
"Your Majesty, although I know that you are doing this for the sake of the Kingdom and that you are not doing anything wrong, I am still disappointed in you. There is no end to the demands of the nobles, as a king, you must have your own decision, when will you understand this truth? ”
With a faint sigh, Ewell shook his head and disappeared into the streets of Stormwind, leaving Pasonia standing silently in front of the palace.
