Chapter 170: The King's Nephew

Danas was a little more professional and began to look at the surrounding military installations. The speculation of the little prince from Lordaeron has been half confirmed, and tonight, the dwarven warriors of the Dammod Fortress have indeed lost their combat effectiveness. Next, the burden of defending this bridgehead will be handed over to the Fort Riptide militia under Danas.

Because the walls of the fortress are very high, the stairs leading to the inner wall of the city wall are relatively wide, and there are many gondolas used to quickly go up and down on the inner wall of the city wall. After a few glances from afar, Danas figured out the principle of these gondolas - with ropes and pulleys, it was only necessary to operate on the ground to quickly transport a small group of soldiers to the city walls.

Danas's men rallied quickly, thanks to the Legion's previous vigilance. Soon, Danas's adjutant Ricks marched into the fortress of Danmod with five thousand assembled infantry. Under the command of Danas, these soldiers passed through guò stairs and gondolas...... Quickly came to the head of the city and entered a state of combat readiness.

Of course, these soldiers could not all go to the walls to participate in the defense. It's not that there aren't enough slots, it's just that you can't just leave those staggering dwarven warriors alone, right? Arthas stood at the head of the fortress of Dammod and watched as the bands of human soldiers lifted the dwarven warriors like dead pigs and threw them into their barracks under the walls. ,…,

Shaking his head and sighing, Arthas understood that these guys would not be able to participate in the defense of Dammod until noon tomorrow. Unable to hide his apprehension, Arthas turned to the Fort Riptide militia who were already in place, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

After thinking about it for a while, Arthas realized what was wrong - according to Danas, he was the commander of the national militia of King Stormgard, which meant that his soldiers should have been improvised militia. But as soon as the soldiers entered their defensive positions. Immediately began to prepare for the battle. There were even some soldiers who began to skillfully fiddle with the ballistas that the dwarves had left at the head of the city.

At the same time, there was something wrong with the attire of these soldiers. Lordaeron's militia is armed with a group of soldiers, and a group of farmers who take up arms. It is still possible to keep them safe in the war zone, or to fill the façade on the battlefield with a spear, and to make them make a decent charge, or to participate in the defense of the city like this, it is simply an impossible task.

But the five thousand infantry brought by Ricks not only quickly ascended to the top of the city, but also put them in a state of readiness behind the battlements; The soldiers responsible for throwing the drunken dwarven warriors back to their barracks were in good order. Throughout the Dammod Fortress, except for the rhythmic sound of armor colliding with weapons. It can even be considered quiet. ,…,

Alsace also found that among these infantry, there were nearly a thousand men, and in addition to spears, bows and crossbows were also worn. The use of bows and arrows is very complicated, everyone can draw a bow and shoot arrows, but on the battlefield, the requirements for archers are even more complicated.

After all, not everyone is a shooter, and archers, like mages, must concentrate their firepower to get the most out of their ranged weapons. Of course, the High Elves' Ranger is an exception, but the growth of a Ranger is too long, and the High Elves' annual gold investment in the Ranger School is also one of the main reasons for their financial constraints.

The bow and crossbow, as well as the muskets commonly used by the dwarves and gnomes, are slightly simpler to operate, but they are not generalized to the daily training of the militia, after all, these two weapons, including bows and arrows, have a relatively large loss of crossbow arrows and ammunition during training, unlike spears, which can just gather the militia during the slack time and stab the scarecrow in the field. …,

Therefore, Arthas concluded that these people were definitely not militiamen, at least unlike the militia of the kingdom of Lordaeron, they were well-trained professional soldiers. When he asked the question, Danas smiled and said with some pride: "Yes, Prince Arthas, these lads are indeed not the militia you say they are. ”,…,

Under Arthas's somewhat puzzled gaze, Danas seriously explained to him the military system of the kingdom of Stormgard. In this ancient and martial country, all adult men are required to enlist in the army for at least two years of military service, so the kingdom of Stormgard can be said to be almost universally armed.

And in Fort Riptide, the militia doesn't mean the same thing as Lordaeron. Here, all the servicemen are called militiamen. The position of the so-called "commander of the militia regiment" of Danas...... It's almost the same as Anduin Lothar's position as the supreme commander of the Stormwind Kingdom/army - why is the supreme commander of the armies of these two countries bald? Does this hairstyle have any command talent bonuses?

Arthas was a little stunned - he didn't expect this middle-aged uncle who was a little bald to be such a powerful figure in Riptide Castle. At the same time, Arthas was a little glad that this uncle was still a good talker, and he didn't have the flamboyant intestines of politicians, otherwise, he would not have been so easy to move him to come to the aid of Dammod Fortress.

Soon the problem arose, though, and Arthas was now very curious about Danas's identity. Since he also has the surname Tolbain, he must be a member of the royal family of Riptide Castle. But who is he of Prince Garin? Arthas confided to Danas that he had met Prince Garin at Dunhold Castle. ,…,

Listened to Arthas's vaguely expressed curiosity about his identity. Danas smiled heartily and said, "Garin...... That guy must have bothered you, Prince Arthas. But my brother is not a bad person, but sometimes he ...... He was always not interested in state affairs, but liked to hunt horses or something, and my uncle was also very troubled by this...... If only he could be so sensible to you, Prince of Arthas. ”

For Alsace, this man is small but has great guts. And a very intelligent neighboring prince, Danas still has a good impression. It seems that the Torbain family of Riptide Fort are all such straight-hearted personalities, and he makes no secret of his "displeasure" with the shortcoming of Prince Garin's "lack of brains".

Arthas was more interested in something else - "Uncle? The little prince asked, a little puzzled. Yes. Danas nodded and said, "Garin and I are not brothers, but cousins. My father died when I was very young, and my brother Christophe and I were both raised by Uncle Solas. ”
