Chapter 19: Karazhan's Vision
The third more
On the second day of the march, Sir Lothar moved to the west side of the Eagle's Nest. The Human Alliance is stationed here.
Not far from the camp set up by the tribe, during which time the soldiers and orcs fought several times, and skirmishes often took place into the night.
With the help of the trolls, the orcs can still raid human camps at night. With each raid, the soldiers had to be alert and defensive, and several such raids in one night made the Union soldiers a little tired.
The orc overseer who led the raid was Itreig, who was happy with such sneak tactics.
After many battles, he knew very well that the fighting spirit of human soldiers was far inferior to that of orcs. Even if the orcs die, they will be burned to the last moment by the anger of the blood in their hearts, and they will be honored to die in battle. But human soldiers are different, they have experienced a happy life, and they also know the value of human life.
This may be the sorrow of a race with a higher material civilization. Itreg is good at thinking and targeting, and Orgrim has a lot of respect for him. Of course, it wasn't just Orgrim, Durotan kept Itreg as his most respected military advisor when he was alive.
Compared to Lothar, who had some stereotypes and impulsiveness before, he experienced the battle of Dunhold. He's gradually finding his role as a soldier commander in Stormwind, and he's tolerant, knowing that these small harassments aren't a problem.
Soldiers are regularly defended in shifts, and soldiers can be rotated for rest.
"Based on information from our scouts and dwarves, Orgrim has stationed half of his forces to confront us on the eastern side of the Eagle's Nest, while the other part continues his march north." Tulayan reported on the intelligence and information he had just received.
Lothar's fist slammed into the map, and he snapped, "We can't let them lead me by the nose anymore, Ogrim has had enough cleverness, it's time for him to suffer a little." Abandon the battle line after the ballista, and heavy artillery. The Knights are lightly armed, united with the Brute Hammer Dwarves, and we must take the initiative to attack. They want to go north, how can it be so easy! ”
"Do you have an opinion? Rollin. Rollin, who was standing on the outskirts of the tent, was asked by Lothar.
With the lesson of the last time, Lothar wanted to hear the insights of a special magician this time.
"Nothing, General. However, we need to be well prepared to attack the orcs head-on, they have the help of the dragon, and the dragon's flame is not something that we mages can resist. Rollin worried.
Lothar's face was solemn, he had heard about the dragon. These flaming red dragons, capable of spraying scorching flames and possessing huge bodies, were much stronger than their artillery.
"The Kr'thugad Magister has returned to Dalaran, and he has returned to the Sky Council with questions, and I am sure that Archmage Antonidas will give us some help." Lothar said in a somewhat uncertain tone.
"But before that, I can only ask you and Khadgar, you are both outstanding magicians, I have had the privilege of seeing your powerful magic in the previous war, I hope this time, you can still turn the tide." Lothar please.
Khadgar and Rollin are not apprentices to magic, and while they are not as qualified as the magicians of the Sky Council, Lothar prefers to trust Khadgar and Rollin. The council mages who were in Dalaran had little help for him.
After the battle deployment meeting was completed, Gavin Ladd and some of his men began to march eastward, with Rollin and Khadgar following behind the commander-in-chief.
This time Aurelia didn't follow, she went to Eagle's Nest Mountain, the ranger is agile and good at long-range combat, helping the griffin knight to fight, it will have a good effect.
Before leaving, Aurelia didn't talk to Rollin too much, found a place where no one was around, hugged briefly, left a trusting look, and the elven troops set off.
Rollin and Khadgar rode their horses together, and they exchanged a lot during the march.
"In Karazan, you've probably read about the history of the dragons." Rollin asked.
Khadgar nodded thoughtfully, recalling a series of fantasies he had seen in Karazhan, and he clearly remembered that when Guardian McGovern fought against demons, these red dragons were on the side of the Guardians, and they were not enemies of the Human Alliance.
"I haven't read history, but I've seen images of Guardians fighting. You don't know, in Karazan, a place with a lot of magical energy, I see quite a few fantasies about the future and the past. Khadgar said.
Rollin's first reaction when he heard the Guardian was the Council of Tirisfa: "McGovern? The magician who lived for hundreds of years. I heard about it when I was studying in the Elven Kingdom. "Rollin owes his accumulation of knowledge entirely to his studies in the Elven Kingdom.
"That's right, it's the Guardian, she's in battle with a super demon, and the dragon once helped her."
"The orcs have taken advantage of the red dragon, perhaps they have found an artifact that contains great power, otherwise this powerful race would not be under their control." Rollin told Khadgar what he knew in one way or another.
Khadgar agrees with Rollin that while orcs are powerful, their spells are no match for elven magic. As Rollin said, the orcs have found an artifact of great power on this continent.
"We don't have a complete way to deal with these dragons yet, I've fought with them, and their skin is very spell resistant."
"Think about it another way, let's say we don't kill them, but control them and don't let them continue to fight." Khadgar frowned, he thought.
Rollin had thought about it before, but it was too difficult to use arcane confinement in the sky. Floating Prison Circles are inherently difficult to draw. Although the arcane energy controlled by the two elements can flow freely in the sky, it is not enough to imprison the agile dragon.
Khadgar watched Rollin hesitate, and he decisively gave up on this way. His knowledge of arcane spells was nowhere near as good as Rollin's, and it was the answer he had received from feeling the arcane energy of Rollin's body.
"Then another way." Khadgar said.
"Wait, maybe we have a chance!" Rollin's eyes sparkled.
During the Troll Wars, Rollin and his mentor had been on many missions to infiltrate the enemy camp. Although they are not Stalkers, they are better at stealth than Stalkers under the influence of magic.
What's more, the current Luo Lin is far stronger than the low-level mage he used to be. To put it mildly, since Rollin was able to make the 'Rollin' arcane core circle, his dual-element mastery has been very much the same as that of Mentor Bilohua.
Khadgar saw hope in Rollin's eyes, and he tugged on the reins and brought the horse next to Rollin's horse.
