Hearthvale, one of the towns of the former kingdom of Lordaeron, is now an important stronghold of the Scarlet Crusaders in the Plaguelands. Some people may not know about Fireplace Valley alone, but when it comes to Madenhold Castle here, it's a different story.

The reason why Madnhold Castle is famous is not because of its glorious history, but because of its previous lord, Tirio of the Knights of the Silver Hand. Fordin.

As a paladin, Fording is known for his tolerant mind and strong strength, and as the Great Lord of the Silver Hand, Fortin's strength is undoubted, and he is the same level of absolute strength as the Ash Lord Mograini. If there is this powerful paladin in Hearthvale, there is nothing to worry about, but Fording has already faked his death and lived in seclusion, and now the owner of Madenhold Castle is Tyran, who has inherited his lordship. Ferdin, that is, Ferdin's son.

This is a cause for concern, as Tyran has always regarded Ethanlien as the most trusted and respected mentor, not only entrusting him with full authority over Madenhold Castle, but also allowing him to develop the people of his realm into members of the Scarlet Crusade.

If Ethan Lion was a devout follower of the Holy Light, it wouldn't be too much of a problem for Tyran to do this, but Ethan Lion was in cahoots with Dasuohan who was controlled by the Dreaddemon Lord Banazar, and Tyran's approach was undoubtedly pushing himself and the entire Madenhold people into the fire pit.

Leo couldn't understand the current approach of Tyran, the king of Madenhold, why did Tyran do a good job as his king of Madenhold, why he invited someone to press on his head, and he ignored the development of the Scarlet Crusade in Ethan Lien, and even if the two had differences in thought, they were subject to each other.

Thinking about what happened between Tyran and Ethanlian, Leo couldn't help but sigh: Old Grande's son is too easy to fool, if this is a peaceful era, it makes sense, but now is a chaotic dark age, and there are few examples of people with innocent hearts being used and dying tragically, why does Tyran turn a blind eye? Even if he didn't realize it at first, he probably didn't know it when Ethan Leon was developing the Scarlet Crusade in Madenhold?

Because of his respect for Ethanlion, who he regarded as his mentor, he turned a blind eye to what happened to Madenhold about the Scarlet Crusaders, and let it develop with a self-deceptive attitude, no wonder Tyran's final fate was so miserable - as the king of Madenhold, he could only be killed from his own territory alone, and finally died at the hands of the Scarlet Crusaders led by Ethanlion, and those people were all Madenhold warriors who once served him.

It's really hard for Leo to imagine that such a thing will happen if he is Tyran, even if he wants to support Ethanlien, he will not use that way, you Ethan Lion wants to develop the Scarlet Crusader, this is easy to say, you can give money and things, and even ask me to join the Scarlet Crusader, but these armies of Maden Holder must be completely controlled by me, and you want to install people to develop them into your people, I'm sorry, not to mention that even the door and the window can't open a door for you. It's true that you Ethanlien are my mentor and I respect you, but you can't ask me to listen to you for everything, haven't you heard the saying that I am in charge of my territory?

A pure heart, perhaps this is the biggest difference between me and those orthodox paladins.

Rubbing his chin and ravaging the slightly prickly stubble, Leo came to a conclusion. However, he does not have any regrets, if the price of having a pure heart is to be used and end up miserable, then this purity is better to be given to others. As a layman, a layman who only wants to live happily with the people around him, why not be thicker and darker?

"Ahead is the Kaolin intersection, and so many of us can't get around it."

Lea Delin reminds Leo that as the transportation artery of the Plaguelands, the location of the Cowling intersection is very important, it is stuck between the Chapel of the Light's Wish and the Hand of Tyr, seriously hindering the connection between the Silver Dawn and the Scarlet Crusaders, and is an important hub point for the Scourge in the Plaguelands, where the Scourge has deployed heavy troops to defend.

Solo horses or a small number of highly mobile troops can still try to get around this place, but if Leo and his team, which has more than 10,000 and mostly infantry, want to pass through this place, it is impossible to escape the ears of the undead scourge, and even if they try to make a detour, they will be overtaken by the undead scourge troops.

In other words, a pitched battle is inevitable.

Knowing this, Leo made the team stop, and the important surname of the Scourge at the Cowling intersection knew that the Silver Dawn and the Scarlet Crusaders also knew that there were many wars between the two sides in this place, and the strength of the undead Scourge at the Cowling Junction could be known only by looking at the fact that they had been firmly in control of it.

This is the first problem to lead the army from the Chapel of Light's Wish to rescue the Hearthvale, Leo knows that this time the battle of the Kaulin Junction must be won beautifully, because the eight thousand warriors of the Silver Dawn who followed him are staring at him from behind, if he shows enough strength then his plan is half successful, if he behaves to disappoint the eight thousand warriors behind him, these people are likely to retreat to the Chapel of the Wish of Light, these warriors who lick the blood will not follow an incapable commander.

"Are there any powerful natural disasters at the Cowlin intersection?"

Ordinary undead disasters can't hinder Leo at all, only those who are not weak in the natural disasters will have an impact on him, although in Leo's impression that the undead disasters at the Cowling intersection are not powerful characters, but in this world that has deviated from his memory, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents.

"I haven't received any information here that there is a Scourge powerhouse at the Korin Crossing, there is only one reason why it has not been captured, there are too many undead disasters here, even if the Scarlet Crusaders of the Hand of Tyr and the army of the Chapel of the Wish of Light are all combined, they are not one-tenth of the number of undead here."

A warrior of the Silver Dawn walked out suddenly, and from the eyes of the others looking at the warrior, Leo knew that he must have some status, otherwise the others would not look at him with a little respect.

"When attacking the Cowlin junction, we have to be careful of the natural disasters in Talon County and the Crown Watchtower, and when the Cowlin junction is attacked, these two places will send out natural disaster troops to support the defense of the Korin junction."

The emotion of the warrior at the mention of Daronshire was visibly fluctuating, and his eyes flashed with hatred from time to time.

"You're from Talonshire?"

Leo keenly grasped the warrior's emotions, the warrior's joining the Silver Dawn indicated that he had a vendetta against the Scourge Legion, and he said that his unusual reaction to Daronshire indicated that he had experienced the battle of the Undead Scourge's capture of Talon County.

"Yes, I'm from Talonshire." A look of pain appeared on the warrior's face, it was the pain of being tortured by some kind of experience, "My name is Karin. Redpass, the former captain of the Talon County Militia, Joseph Anderson. Brother of Redpass. ”

It turned out to be someone from the Redpass family, no wonder he was like this.

After learning the origin of the warrior, Leo understood that Joseph, who was the captain of the militia in the battle where the Scourge captured Talon County. Redpass was corrupted and corrupted by the dark power, and it was for this reason that the county of Talon that could have been defended was captured by the Scourge legion, and the defenders who were supposed to protect the people of Talon County were turned into executioners of slaughter under the corruption of the dark power, and the source of all this was the corruption of Joseph by the black-clothed Marduk.

To put it more seriously, Joseph. Redpass is to be held largely responsible for the loss of Talon County, and if Karin, as his brother, encounters the radical creatures of the Scarlet Crusaders, he will be hunted to death, and only Silver Dawn will take him in.

"There are a lot of undead in Dalong County and Crown Tower, and it is very bad for us that the battle at the Cowlin junction drags on for too long."

Scarlett's words are tantamount to telling Leo that if she wants to attack the Kaulin crossing, she must fight quickly and take this hub where the Scourge Army has heavy troops in a very short time.

"Karin, are you familiar with the usual combat methods of the undead scourge at the Cowlin intersection?"

Leo summoned three storm ravens to conduct aerial reconnaissance, then turned to Karin.

Both the Silver Dawn and the Scarlet Crusaders have attacked the Cowling Junction many times, and Karin should be no stranger to this place, and if Leo wants to fight well in the first battle to support Hearthvale, then knowing his opponent is the homework that must be done.

"How does the Scourge Legion at the Cowling Junction fight?" Karin was asked with a helpless look on her face, "I don't know who is presiding over the Kaulin intersection, but the Scourge Legion here has never taken the initiative to attack, no matter what method we use, we can't lure out the defenders inside, we can only choose to attack." ”

Storming the heavily guarded Kaolin intersection, the other side has both a favorable location and enough reinforcements, and there is no need to discuss the result, because the facts are in front of us.

In this way, the Scourge Commander guarding the Cowlin junction is a cautious fellow, no, it should be said that he is cowardly. But it's precisely because of his surname that Kel'thugad sent him to the Cowlin intersection, and the Great Lich is really a good man.

The opponent has heavy troops, and has a favorable location to defend, and there are two strong reinforcements behind it, the Crown Sentry Tower and Talon County, this bone is really not ordinarily difficult to gnaw, and it is no wonder that the Scarlet Crusaders and Silver Dawn have not taken this place. But if I can successfully take the Kaulin intersection, wouldn't it be more like I have the ability, and it will be easier to subdue these Silver Dawn warriors, and the next plan will be smoother?

The Storm Ravens had now flown over the Cowlin junction, and through the vision they shared, Leo looked at the heavily defended cataclysmic town in deep thought.
