Chapter 276: Capture the Port of Minahill
A powerful tribe is an organization united by dozens of orc clans, but its history is not long, and coupled with the change of ownership, the current tribe actually has many internal contradictions.
These contradictions were suppressed in the victorious battles and never erupted.
Only now that the tribe suddenly lost its advantage, and the contradictions began to intensify.
Orgrim pondered and finally came up with the simplest solution: go and kill Gul'dan.
The great chieftain of the tribe was also very irritable at times, and he was full of anger at the betrayer, and above all Gul'dan was the biggest reactionary force in the tribe. When Orgrim kills him and comes back again, he has enough deterrence to keep the rest of the clan obedient.
This is the same choice as the original history.
However, before leaving, Orgrim still needs to wait for the situation to stabilize.
In Twilight Heights, Kael'thas received a new order from the Alliance in the early hours of the morning.
"Attack?"
When Uther reported this command to Kael'thas, the elven prince had just risen.
"Today?"
Kael'thas frowned, feeling that this was too fast.
"From the point of view of the order, after breakfast, it is time to attack."
Uther nodded, and he pointed around the camp to see nervous Union soldiers running in preparation for their departure.
"Such a quick attack?"
Kael'thas thought for a moment, then said:
"It shouldn't be just us, right?"
He didn't think that the soldiers of these alliances would be able to win now.
Moreover, Twilight Heights had just been occupied, and it would take some time for the information to go back and come back, and now this order was apparently passed on by Lothar before receiving the information.
No matter how confident the commander of that alliance is, he should not be sure in advance that the alliance will be able to occupy Twilight Heights for 2 days.
Other words
[Even if the Twilight Heights are not completely recovered, will the Alliance launch an attack on the wetlands?] 】
Kael'thas began to wonder what had happened to make Lothar do this.
Either way, there must have been other big things going on in the tribe, and the alliance was bound to win the wetlands as well.
"Of course, it's not just us, on the other side of the wetland, in the port of Minahir, maybe that's where the main force is."
Uther smiled and comforted:
"So don't worry, there's going to be less pressure on our side."
Kael'thas nodded.
"Alright then, tell someone to quickly prepare breakfast, and then prepare to attack."
Uther did not ask for a change in commander, and it seems that the commander of this force is still Kael'thas for the time being.
"That's right."
Kael'thas walked with Uther on the camp when something suddenly occurred to him.
"Who commanded the troops attacking the port of Minahir?"
He asked.
"Tulayan, the young lad."
Uther replied to Kael'thas without a care.
"Tulayan?"
Even though the important surname of this figure in the original history is known, Tulayan does not seem to show much ability in this world, which makes Kael'thas a little strange.
"He's Lord Lothar's only lieutenant."
Uther replied to Kael'thas with a look on his face as if to say something of course:
"And Tulayan is also a powerful paladin, he is Alonsos like me. The Baptizer of Lord Fao. ”
The original paladins, if you pay attention to identity, Tulayan and Uther and others are characters of the same level.
Kael'thas sighed inwardly.
He had already anticipated the direction of the war in the future.
Tulayan has enough quality that he will be hailed as a hero by the league as he is in history.
The Alliance needs a human hero, and it's clear that Tulayan is a good choice.
Kael'thas has already taken credit for it, and for the rest of the day, no matter how much the league wins, it may not give him much glory.
At the same time, at Fort Riptide and the town of Southsea Seas, countless warships left the shore carrying Union soldiers.
"Is it really okay to send Tulayan to be the supreme commander?"
Solas, who barely stood on the wall to see him off. King Torbain asked.
"He's smart, and there's no better person than him."
Lothar stood beside Solas and chuckled softly:
"Although the princess of Lordaeron can also accept this glory, she is the royal family of Lordaeron after all."
"They've already paid off handsomely, and it's not good to add it up."
After all, he was from the Stormwind Kingdom, and to be honest, Lothar didn't want to continue to owe the king of Lordaeron.
They already owe much, much more
"Isn't that why His Highness Kael'thas too?"
Solas frowned and continued:
"That elven prince might be able to do better than Tulayan."
He believed in Kael'thas abilities.
"I don't think Tulayan has been with me for so long, I think he would have done better."
Lothar shook her head in denial:
"Besides, this is a human-led war, and the elves have already done a lot of work."
Now that everyone knows that the elven prince saved the alliance from the crisis, Lothar doesn't think it's a good thing.
"Don't worry, Soras"
Lothar looked at Solas and said calmly:
"Even if Tulayan is a little young, isn't there still a Khadgar to help him?"
Khadgar is a very powerful mage, he is a disciple of Medivan, the guardian who opened the dark gates and betrayed humanity. It was Khadgar who discovered Medivan's anomaly and joined forces with Lothar and others to kill Medivan.
At the same time, Khadgar is also a good friend of Lothar, and he also has a lot of trust in Tulayan.
Lothar once asked Khadgar what he thought of the human paladins, and Khadgar explained it this way about Tulayan:
"This is the worst of them all, but he is also the strongest in my eyes."
He had been trained to be a clergyman and a loyal follower of the church, but not as enthusiastic as the others. And he has more intelligence. ”
Tulayan's birth was simple, and he had only gotten to this point on his own, so there was no one more suitable to be Lothar's lieutenant than him.
Lothar then returns to Fort Riptide with Solas and starts a new job.
That morning, when the fog of the ocean had lifted, the Coalition launched an attack in the port of Minethir.
Kul Tiras's ships crowded forward, and a dense stream of cannonballs was fired from the ships and the watchtowers on the shore, making a loud noise.
"Sure enough, the other party's firepower is much smaller."
On the flagship of the sea, the king of Kurlatis and the admiral of the Alliance, Dalin. Proudmoor, standing on the deck, explained the situation to Tulayan with a smile on his face:
"It seems that the Ogre's emptiness has had a rather bad effect on the defenses of this port."
"I remember you tried this place before."
Tulayan looked at the scene where the battle was taking place, and said to Dalin. Plauder Moore said.
At Tulayan's side stood an old mage, who was Khadgar.
The mage was actually quite young, but was magically affected by the magic of killing Medivan a few years ago and turned into an old man.
"I was going to teach the orcs here a lesson, but the defenses weren't as fragile back then."
DAI Lin. In reply to Tulayan's words, Plaudermore smiled heartily:
"Looking at the current situation, as long as there are no accidents, we can completely occupy this port this afternoon."
His face looked very confident.
"Oh? How to explain it? ”
Attracted by his self-confidence, Tulayan hurriedly asked why.
"It only takes an hour for my navy to destroy most of the towers."
DAI Lin. Plaudermore pointed to the watchtower in the harbor and said:
"Without those watchtowers, I can bring your soldiers ashore."
"The reason why I say it's afternoon"
He smiled a little playfully:
"That's what I think it will take your soldiers half a day to take this place."
DAI Lin. Plaudermore's attitude stunned Tulayan.
"Haha"
Instead of getting angry, he laughed:
"I'm afraid you're going to make a mistake this time."
Tulayan proudly held his head high:
"I've brought all the elites, and there are countless paladins and mages."
"Since it only takes you an hour to get the road ahead, we certainly won't have to take this port in two hours."
He pointed to the sun in the sky and said with a smile:
"Before noon, we can prepare a celebration feast in Minethil Harbour."
Tulayan has a fairly strong self-confidence, in fact, more because he knows the arrangements of the soldiers in this port.
He was sure that the elite of the alliance around him could win quickly.
"Celebration feast?"
DAI Lin. The way Praudmore looked at Tulayan was suddenly a little different.
"It's good to have confidence, young people, but don't let that stumble over it."
After he finished speaking, his eyes widened again.
"But I like your words, so be it"
"My navy and I will help you until noon, and if you do succeed, don't forget to give us some hearty meals."
In fact, in the original plan, Dai Lin. Plaudermore was only helping the Coalition transport and landing, and the siege was not his responsibility.
Lothar's request was relatively cautious, and with the experience of the previous two kingdoms, Lothar also understood that the alliance was not a unit.
To put it bluntly, the actions of the alliance seem to be at the mercy of Lothar, but in fact, the most important thing is the degree of cooperation of the various kings.
Luckily, Dalin. Proudmore was a man who identified more with the League, and he decided to stay and continue to help Tulayan.
With the cover of naval fire, the soldiers of the alliance barely managed to occupy the port of Minahill before noon.
This is to let Dai Lin. Plauder Moore laughed for a long time at the celebration party.
