Chapter 269: When to go to war
"Everyone knows how strong and numerous the undead army is in the Western Plague Lands. We've fought these undead many times, but on one occasion did we get the absolute upper hand? The answer is no, our army has been passively beaten, playing a defensive posture. Now that Kel'thugad has called the army of the undead back to Naxxramas, we thought the battle was easy? ”
Fuhang's rhetorical tone made Gariss's face even more ugly. Gallisus and Fuhang's views are just the opposite, and Fuhang's words are simply a slap in the face of Gariss.
"The strength of the undead scourge has not weakened, but we have underestimated the enemy because of this feint, such an idea is really a bit stupid. So I'm still with that attitude, this fight can be fought, but not now, we need a chance, a great opportunity. ”
Fuhang is not wrong, and it is definitely self-defeating to rashly attack Naxxramas now. The army of the Scourge of the Dead is all working as shrunken turtles, but this turtle is no ordinary turtle. Rather, it is a turtle full of fangs, waiting for its prey to enter its shell.
Such a show of weakness is waiting for the coalition forces to throw themselves into the net.
After Fuhang finished speaking, Esenlien asked, "Then may I ask this commander, when should we do it?" ”
This issue has also been considered by Fuhang. But there is still no answer.
Fuhang fell silent for a moment. This brief silence made Fuhang's previous remarks untenable.
The most critical question was not answered by Fuhang, so the previous foreshadowing was all a dead letter. Not convincing in the slightest.
But people with a discerning eye understand that what Fuhang said is correct. Field Marshal Windsor also acquiesced in the idea of Fuhang. Before that, Marshal Windsor had thought about this problem, and the Royal Knights of Stormwind had traveled a long way from Stormwind to Lordaeron. A lot of grain and grass have been consumed.
You know, the current Stormwind City is not the Stormwind City before. After the Second Orc War and years of turmoil in the Western Wilderness, the treasury of the entire kingdom of Stormwind was not full, but rather empty.
If it weren't for the country's financial problems, Stormwind wouldn't have had the turmoil of the Wild West.
The current financial problems are already accumulating. Field Marshal Windsor was well aware of the internal predicament of his country, so he always wanted to end the battle as soon as possible. But Naxxramas is not simply a castle of the dead, this dark fortress. There is a lot of power. This backlog of past and back put Windsor in a dilemma.
Now, it's not just Marshal Windsor himself who is under pressure. In Stormwind, Varian is also under pressure from the nobility. The current Stormwind City is obviously an aristocracy. The blood nobles held the economic lifeblood of the country in their hands, and how could they not be nervous when they knew that the Royal Knights had already spent so much money on their journey north.
You know, the money spent by the army. It's like the flow of a great river, endless. Unless the water source is cut off, this consumption will continue.
These nobles. At the instigation of Countess Catlana, the nobles approached Varian, their king, and demanded that the battle be ended as soon as possible.
MI7 intelligence officers have reported the news to Field Marshal Windsor. Field Marshal Windsor was also quite embarrassed.
At this meeting, Marshal Windsor looked more embarrassed than anyone else.
Ethan Lien looked at Fuhang and said with a contemptuous smile, "Young Commander." Your idea is very good, and it is indeed a unique opinion, but if we allow Naxxramas to wander in the plague land for a long time, and let the undead plague linger here for a long time, how can we rebuild our homeland, and how can our people return to live on their homeland? ”
Ethan Lion pressed forward step by step, until he was about to close the Fuhang in a desperate situation. It is necessary for Fuhang to overturn all the previous remarks.
In Fuhang's psychology, Ethan Lien's identity at this moment is very special. Because, he is the high-ranking of the Scarlet Crusade.
In the cognition of Fuhang, Saidan. Dasohan was already possessed by Banazal. That is, in the upper echelons of the Scarlet Crusaders now, they have been corrupted.
The current Ethan Lien is still essentially a fanatic.
"Of course, when the battle will be fought, I can't be sure, because when fighting, every moment is instantaneous, and this Commander Ethan Lien will not be unaware." Fuhang said.
Ethan Lion was very stubborn about when he could start fighting, and he still couldn't leave the topic between his words.
"You're right, but this battle still has to be fought, and I think it's better to have a quick victory!" Ethan Lion said.
Ethan Lien asked for the battle. This resolute attitude is not too unexpected.
Now Banazar has taken control of Da Sohan's body, that is, now the upper echelons of the Scarlet Crusaders have deteriorated.
Fuhang was thinking hard, trying to get some information from Ethan Lien's words.
If now Ethan Lien's idea is to represent Da Sohan, that is, Banazal. Then, even if it is said that among the three demon kings scattered in the royal city of Lordaeron before, one of them is very eager for this battle.
Of course, this makes sense. As a hidden evil force of Lordaeron, it is normal to have such thoughts.
Thoughts are ideas, though. If you want to do something else, you have to think about it a little more.
If Banazar had taken advantage of the fisherman when Naxxramas had begun to fight, the battle would have changed its flavor. If it doesn't work out, the undead natural disaster and the coalition forces will be greatly damaged, and when the time comes, the entire Lordaeron will really fall into the hands of the Three Demon Kings.
There was already a precedent for Stratholme. The whole city has been turned into the undead.
If such a thing really happened, even if Kel'thugad was eliminated, then the outcome of Lordaeron's demise would not change much.
The Three Demon Kings and Kel'thugad are not good birds.
From Ethan Lien's words, Fuhang presents a hidden voiceover. Although this is just speculation, it is very likely that this speculation will turn into reality.
"At war? I don't mind a small force going to test the strength of Naxxramas, and I don't mind if you Blood Crusaders were to be the vanguard first. Oh. By the way, the old general Dasuohan did not come to the meeting this time, is it too inattentive to the alliance. Fu Hang was-for-tat, this time, Fu Hang's face did not have that fake and serious look, but a little more ruthless.
The heat of the meeting immediately rose.
The smell of gunpowder is full.
Fuhang wanted to test what Ethan Lien's reaction was.
Fuhang's-for-tat made Ethan Lien think more. When he came to the meeting, Da Sohan told him, this time. Even if they want to attack Naxxramas, the Scarlet Crusaders can't rush to the front, they must preserve their strength, and they can't fight hard with the undead Scourge so as not to hurt the root cause.
This remark is exactly the opposite of what Fuhang said just now.
Ethan Lien just wanted to chase after the meaning, only to feel a sharp pain in his brain, and his eyes flashed bloodshot. Then he calmed down. In between, a different voice kept looping through his brain: Destroy the undead by all means, no one can stop it!
"Very good young man, you persuaded me with your sophistry. Still, I'd love to see what you do next. Ethan Lien gave up the debate with Fuhang.
But Fuhang has been watching Ethan Lien, and his intuition tells Fuhang. There's something wrong with this Grand Prosecutor, Ethan Leon. There really is a problem.
Then it shows that the previous speculation of Fuhang exists, and. It's going to happen.
Only then did Fuhang react, it turned out that this meeting was not so simple.
Garissus sees himself as a thorn in his side, and the Scarlet Crusaders have other ideas, and Silver Dawn is very cowardly and indifferent, very similar to the Silver Dawn in the game.
Marshal Windsor looked embarrassed and lost his mind several times during the meeting, but Fuhang knew very well that Windsor was not lost in thought because of the content of the meeting.
Most of the meetings were debates, and the language was mixed with sarcasm.
The marshal certainly wouldn't have been left in deep thought by these remarks, and the only possibility was that Windsor was under pressure from the other side.
The interior of the Kingdom of Stormwind!
Fuhang understood the Silk Road quite clearly, and this thinking took care of many things, and added some things together.
In short, if you want to defeat the undead natural disaster, you have to get the test, not the current alliance, let alone the Holy Light Church Army, the City Defender Army, and the Scarlet Crusade, you can only rely on your own knights and tribal army.
The current Knights of Stormwind City are the army of the Alliance in the end. Stormwind City is really suffering from internal and external troubles now, and Fording also told Fuhang about it at the beginning, and now it seems that what Old Fording said is not wrong.
Field Marshal Windsor was overwhelmed by the question of when the war would begin. This seemingly simple offensive war has become quite tricky now.
The Great Chief was very indifferent, and he did not express any opinion on the debate with the Alliance.
Marshal Windsor looked heavy and asked Sal, "Great Chief, how do you think this battle should be fought?" ”
Before Sal could speak, Grom said, "For battles, there is no 100% certainty of victory." Instead of dwelling on it here, it's better to take it one step at a time. What the Fuhang brothers said, in my opinion, is very reasonable, war is ever-changing, and the most important thing is to seek flexibility at the beginning of the war. ”
"So, you agree with the Commander of Fuhang." Wendthor asked.
Grom nodded, and Grom had always agreed with Fuhang's idea.
Sal looked at Grom's finish before he said: "Marshal Wendsol, I think the opinion of the commander of Fuhang is very reasonable, and it is indeed not a wise way to rashly attack and fight on the enemy's home turf at a time when the enemy's combat ability is not yet clear. ”
"Besides, when we were in Regret Ridge, we met the army of the natural disaster, and that battle, if it weren't for the surprise of the commander of Fuhang, plus the power of Fuhang and the commander of Gianna to turn the tide, I'm afraid there would not be this meeting yet." Sal said truthfully.
On this occasion, Thrall, as the great chief of the new tribe, never shied away from speaking. These words are for the commanders of these alliances to hear.
Wendsol looked embarrassed and said, "Since the Great Chief and Fuhang both think that this idea is correct, then let's also base our opinion on this opinion and reorganize the army first and wait for the opportunity to attack." ”
Thrall saw Marshal Wendsol's concerns and asked, "Marshal Wendsol has something unspeakable, you might as well tell us about the new tribe, and we can help you." ”
"No one can help with this." Wendsol smiled awkwardly.
Indeed, Varian gave Windsor a quick fix. The order had already been given to Windsor.
Although Wendthor knew, this order was not Varian's meaning. But due to the situation and pressure at home, Varian had to do so. Aristocracy is to satisfy the interests of the aristocracy by putting pressure on the king.
All these actions, Wendsol knew very well, were all meant by Countess Catlana. This beautiful countess has won over many nobles and made Stormwind City appear stable.
However, it is precisely because of this that Varian has given important rights to Catlana, but it is precisely because of this right that the entire politics of Stormwind City has become an undercurrent!
"That's all for today's meeting, the commanders have consolidated their troops, and hopefully they will be here in the next few days, and we will prepare for the final decisive battle." Wendthor said.
The commander-in-chief of the alliance saluted Marshal Wendthor with all his strength.
The commander of the new tribe also stood up and bowed slightly.
The meeting ended like this, and Fu Hang took Gianna's hand and walked out and asked, "Gianna, why didn't you say a word this time, this is not like your character." ”
Gianna spread her hands, made a helpless gesture and said, "I'm just here to help, I didn't lead the soldiers, so naturally I don't have the right to speak." Where is like you, the big chief of the tribe, you are all a commander of the navigation, you are very majestic. ”
"Speak well, I'll be serious with you." Fuhang said seriously.
Looking at Fuhang's serious appearance, Gianna covered her mouth and chuckled: "Okay, Marshal Wendsol's meeting this time is to find out what the commanders mean." In general, these commanders are still eager to participate in this war and purge the undead. Although their interests may be different, at least for now, everyone can stand on a united front.
