"Then the orcs probably won't land on Gilneth Beach either...... If they decide to do that, we can save a lot of effort...... So Prince Danas, what about the Arathi Heights? Are there any bays there that are good for landing? ”

Anduin? Lothar nodded, ignoring Jean? With a somewhat embarrassed face, Greymane looked at Danas? Thorbain, asked politely.

"Don't call me a prince, Sir Lothar, my father never became king...... Although I brought a lot of elite warriors here, there are still a lot of troops left in Riptide Fort, and the only bay in the Arathi Heights is within the warning range of Riptide Castle, so I don't think the orcs will choose to land there. ”

Danas? Thorbain nodded.

"The most important thing is the existence of the Wall of Soladin...... You see, if the orcs choose to land on the heights of Arathi, they will be trapped here forever - unless they can climb over the walls of Soradin. ”

Malone leaned closer to the table, pointed to the extent of the Arathi Heights drawn on the map, and expressed his opinion.

"We still don't know if the orcs will come by sea or by land...... What if they choose to come by land? ”

Uther, as the leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand, also participated in this military discussion.

"By land? The only way to connect the two subcontinents is the Sadol Bridge, from which the orcs wouldn't want to come because then they would need to break through the dwarven-garrisoned fortress of Dammod, which I had visited, if I were the commander of the orc army. I definitely don't want to attack a fortress like that...... Because there are few holes in the defenses there, perhaps the only weak point is the city walls that are tens of meters high. ”

Danas? Thorbain shook his head and said.

"So if the orcs are going to land, it's best for us to stay here? But we don't know anything about what those guys are going to do - when they're going to start landing. We don't know how many of them...... If you want to win this war, the difficulty has been increased out of thin air. ”

Anduin? Lothar voiced her concerns.

"There's no way around it, after all, Stormwind ...... After the fall, we had no source of information in the South. ”

Admiral Dalin? Proudmoore shook his head and said.

"Can't the mage of Dalaran do something? If we can build a magic circle in the south, maybe we can send a team over to scout the orcs. ”

Malone said on a whim.

"Theoretically. But the mages of Dalaran ...... I don't think they'll take on such a dangerous task. ”

Khadgar smiled wryly and shook his head - no one in the room knew his colleagues better than he did, they were obsessed with studying all kinds of powers that were not mortal, and perhaps the orc invasion was not enough to make them look at reality.

"My fleet can be cruising outside. If those orcs come from the sea, my fleet can be the first to attack them. ”

Admiral Dalin? Prodmore volunteered.

"Don't do it, because ......"

Hear Admiral Dalin? When Prodmore said this, Malone quickly shook his head. I want to dissuade him from doing this. But halfway through his words, he stopped by himself because of hesitation.

"How?"

Admiral Dalin? Prodmore asked quizzically.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it."

Marlon thought about it, but finally didn't say the reason why he wanted to stop the human naval fleet from going out - what everyone here didn't know, he knew that the orcs should have now imprisoned the queen of the red dragons, Alekstasa, the lifebinder, under the guidance of the betrayed black guardian dragon Deathwing Netsario, in order to coerce the red dragons into obeying the orcs' orders...... If Marlon is not mistaken, in the original history of Azeroth, the human fleet was destroyed by the orc air force riding the red dragon.

But Malone is suffering from the fact that there is no way to say such a thing now. Because he had no excuse to explain why he knew this, even if he did. Nor will anyone believe it.

Anduin? Lothar glanced at his nephew, and he felt that something was not quite right with Malone, but now was not the time to say that.

"That's all for today's discussion, Uther, you take those paladins to settle down in the town of the South Seas, and tomorrow we will wait for news from the elves and dwarves while we train our army - my Stormwind warriors have some experience in how to fight the orcs...... Okay, let's all go and rest, Malone, you stay, I have something to tell you. ”

Anduin? Lothar tapped lightly on the table, ending this simple military meeting.

……

"Uncle Anduin, what's the matter?"

After everyone else had left the town hall in Southsea Town, Malone sat down in Anduin? Lothar's side, at the same time, twisted his arm, stretching the fatigue caused by the long run - after this time of getting along, Marlon in Anduin? Lothar was no longer as reserved as he had been.

"You don't seem to have something to say...... Is it related to resistance to orcs? ”

Anduin? Lothar glanced at Malone and asked directly.

"This ...... There are indeed some things, but ...... I'm not so sure yet. ”

Malone was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a wry smile - I didn't expect Anduin? Lothar's mind was quite fine, and she saw the reluctance of the excuse she had just found.

"What the hell? Now it's just our uncle and nephew, so you can tell me, right? ”

Anduin? Lothar pressed - he felt that this nephew of his own seemed to have become more cerebral since his last injury, and he had been with Solas before? The conflict between Torbain, as well as the recent interpretation of the terrain of the northern subcontinent, can be seen in Malone's growth - maybe he can think of something he can't think of.

"What I want to say is...... Maybe the army of the kingdom of Alterac will not come. ”

Marlon didn't expect Anduin? Lothar would ask himself what he had just said, and he thought about it but still didn't say anything about the Red Dragon—because even Anduin? Lothar believed his words, and they had no way to rescue the Red Dragon Queen trapped in Grimbaatar in the Northern Subcontinent, not to mention that Malone felt that it would be more reliable to leave this matter to the Red Dragon Crassus, who was now hidden in the Dalaran Kenrito Council.

But Malone wasn't going to do nothing - he decided to bring the conversation to the kingdom of Alterac. (To be continued.) )
