"Hey, did you hear that?"

Outside Razor Ridge, in the dilapidated human camp that had been affected by the violent explosion the night before yesterday, a naval soldier who was busy clearing the rubble and broken wood secretly glanced at the movement around him, and saw that there were no officers nearby.

"Heard of what? In the past two days, all kinds of messages have been flying all over the sky...... Who knows which one you're talking about? ”

Glancing at his companion, who had always been well-informed, the other soldier who was questioned replied with some confusion and helplessness.

"The most secretive one, of course...... I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess of Theramore, who was under house arrest by Her Majesty, was kidnapped in full view of everyone a few days ago. I still don't know where it went. ”

Seeing that he had aroused the interest of his comrades, the first soldier who spread the gossip had an expression of amazement or disbelief that his companion did not know such important information.

"What nonsense, Theramore is guarded by the Seventh Legion, and someone else can kidnap the princess under the nose of the Seventh Legion?" The navy soldiers, who were despised by the former, obviously poked their noses up at such rumors, and retorted mockingly: "Could it be that an army has attacked Seramo?" Or did a pack of dragons attack our harbor at night? ”

"Hey, I know the news!"

The argument between the two soldiers had already attracted the attention of their companions, and another naval soldier joined the discussion with great interest. Seeing that the first two comrades-in-arms, and even the companions around them, had put down their work or failed to do their work, and focused on themselves, the newly joined naval officers also proudly told the "secrets" they had heard:

"Her Royal Highness was snatched from Theramore, but not kidnapped, but rescued! The news has been blocked from above, that is, my network is so good that I found out a little bit of the inside story. ”

After making a new point, the soldier visibly stopped smiling reservedly, as if enjoying the admiration of his comrades for his intelligence source. It wasn't until a moment later, amid the frequent urging of his companions, that he continued: "It is neither an army nor a dragon that has robbed Her Highness the Princess from under the nose of the Seventh Legion. But...... A bunch of orcs! That's right, a bunch of orcs! ”

"!"

"A group of greenskins kidnapped Lord Gianna from Theramore? Or is rescue not kidnapping? There is a limit to exaggeration! What are a group of greenskins doing to rescue Her Royal Highness? Obviously, he kidnapped the princess as a hostage to blackmail His Majesty to withdraw his troops! ”

Unfortunately, there are obviously not a few people who oppose this point of view, and the other soldiers who have their own sources of information or the naval officers who have heard the relevant rumors have refuted it one after another.

"It's, how can it be an orc. As far as I know, it's a bunch of ogres! They also fought the Seventh Legion, and the corpses of the dead ogres were all over the streets of Theramore! ”

"No, it's not ogres, it's a bunch of mountain giants! Mountain giants, you know, they are at least ten yards tall and weigh tens of tons of tons! The whole body is made of solid granite, which is invulnerable and powerful......"

"You've heard too many ridiculous stories about those bards in the tavern, haven't you? Also the mountain giants? Why don't you say it's the Titans? ”

"How can you question my sources! It's the mountain giant, uh. At least there are a few mountain giants! ”

"It's an orc and ogre alliance! Just like during the First World War, I heard that Theramore is now strewn with corpses and rivers of blood. The Seventh Legion was crippled, and Theramore narrowly fell into the hands of the Horde. At the critical moment, Duke Leoric stepped forward and forced back the butcher and executioner of Sarufar with a sword, and this was the ......"

"Fart! Sarufar was on the opposite side of Razor Ridge, and he was the one who led the team in blowing up half of our artillery the night before. How could he still lead the team to attack Theramore, could it be that he was still a mage. Can you cast a mirror spell? ”

"You're all, it's not reliable at all! What I heard was the truth of the matter! ”

"It's Arthas who robbed Her Highness Gianna!"

"Arthas, the patricide. Death Knight? Prince Lordaeron single-handedly destroying his own kingdom? ”

"It's the Fallen!"

"Don't you know, before Arthas fell, he and Her Royal Highness the princess were lovers! Now that he has taken refuge in the Scourge Legion, he is surrounded by ugly and terrifying zombies and ghouls all day long, so he naturally wants to kidnap His Highness Gianna and go to the dead to accompany him! ”

"Yes, that makes sense!"

"There's a, Alsace is far away in Lordaeron, how can he run to Kalimdor alone?"

"When did I say he was alone? His army of the undead is endless, and there are legions of lichs who can teleport and deploy armies for him! If this were not the case, how could the Seventh Legion not be able to protect Her Royal Highness? ”

……

This is a discussion scene about various secrets and rumors. It can be found almost everywhere in the human barracks outside Razor Ridge.

Rumors and rumors are like a summer weed, which grows, sprouts, and thrives in the navy of Kul Tiras, until it is out of control.

It is similar to the kidnapping and kidnapping of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the serious wounding of the Admiral by the Assassins, and the cruising of the open sea waiting for the opportunity to attack the main fleet of the orc city, and the double blow of the storm and the pouring Naga suffered heavy losses...... Rumors or rumors and rumors spread rapidly at a terrifying rate.

In the beginning. Those versions of the rumors seem to be crude and incapable of standing up to scrutiny, and the vast majority of those who hear them just laugh at them. But the more people spread these false news, the more people who spread these false news, and the number of people who believed that these rumors were indeed true also increased.

Coupled with the involuntary exaggeration and supplementation of those who blindly follow the eccentricity again and again in the process of spreading again and again, many rumors have become more and more clear-eyed, and they seem to have real evidence. This, in turn, has once again fueled the spread of these rumors......

One to ten, ten to hundred.

The spread of rumors snowballed and expanded, forming a vicious circle that could not be contained.

The morale of the Kul Tiras Navy is further and lower in the midst of these rumors, either fictional or altered,

Coupled with the pressure of the successive retaliatory actions of the opposing orc forces in recent days, the military morale of the naval officers and men even began to waver to the verge of collapse.

By the time the officers discovered this problem and sent an inspection team to prepare for rectification, it was too late. You can't let the inspector team deal with all the people who spread the dazzling lights for the crime of disturbing military discipline and shaking the morale of the army, right?

Then the vanguard of the navy would not have to attack the opposite tribe. There are only a few people left......

In desperation, the naval officers of the forward unit gave repeated orders, trying to suppress rumors by all means possible and trying to restore morale; On the one hand, he also had to slow down the offensive on Razor Ridge, except for a few guns in the air every day to announce the preservation of zài. There was no more major movement.

Since the confused battle between the two sides that was fought by mistake the night before yesterday, the battlefield of Razor Ridge has entered a rare period of stability.

The Alliance is trying to suppress the undercurrents that could erupt at any moment, while the Horde side is waiting for more reinforcements to arrive and repair the Razor Fortress's defenses. In the first face-to-face battlefield of this war, the two sides actually died down and entered a state of confrontation after the first tentative confrontation between the two sides.

It's just that the rumors spread in secret, and the old Tang who shook the heart of the Kurtilas Navy will definitely not kindly tell the human officer on the other side a truth summed up by the ancients of the "Celestial Empire":

The mouth of the people is better than the river, and rumors are like floods.

Blindly forcibly suppressed and banned. Sometimes it's just counterproductive......

But this qiē is exactly what Don, who acted as the mastermind behind the scenes, wanted to see the most, wasn't it...... How the hell do you do that? ”

In a secret room in Razor Ridge, Kael'thas, the elven prince who had not been seen for a long time, stared at the old Tang sitting opposite him dumbfounded, and asked in surprise and confusion with an unbelievable look.

The images and voices of the magical pets who infiltrated the Kurtiras barracks, and the magical images in the palm of Kael'thas's palm, the horrific spread and spread of rumors among the human troops, have been reported to the elven prince in front of his eyes.

And what kind of shaking and hitting the morale of an army caused by such a bad content but widespread rumor is also clear to Kael'thas, a military half-ass.

With the elven prince's military literacy that is absolutely not related to the word cleverness. I really didn't expect that the war could be fought like this!

At this moment, the mastermind and promoter behind this qiē was sitting in front of him, how could Kael'thas not be curious to inquire about the key and details?

"I sued you. Actually, I'm an actor. Holding the cigarette of the cigar in one hand, and taking out the orb of fraud in the other, he shook it at the elven prince, and Old Tang's face put on a reserved expression that he didn't care, and replied with a smile:

"It's just a little trick, it's not worth mentioning."

The mouth is modest, but it is not difficult for the elf prince, who is already quite familiar with Old Tang, to distinguish the pride and smugness hidden in Old Tang's expression and words. Taking a deep puff of his cigar, Don faced Kael'thas with his inquisitive gaze, and had to explain succinctly:

"It's just a little psychological warfare."

"Never underestimate the gossip spirit of any living being."

"Whether it's rumors or facts, as long as the word 'secret' is poured into it, it will be known by more than three people...... Then this 'secret' is definitely the fastest spreading news in the world. And...... For the vast majority of people. A possible secret gossip is far more appealing than the heroic tale played by the bards. ”

"What's more, it involves gossip about leaders and high-ranking figures, as well as 'secrets' related to their own safety?"

As he spoke, Old Tang shrugged his shoulders, put on a helpless look, and continued to add:

"These are just some crooked ways, and occasionally they can be used to www.biquge.info the effect of the Fun Pavilion, but if they are used frequently....... no one in this world is a fool."

"If you have suffered a loss once but don't have a long memory, you will be fooled a second time, except for those stupid boar people, I'm afraid there will be no such idiots again...... Ogres are smarter than they are! ”

Looking at Kael'thas who was slightly disappointed. Old Tang was solemn and reminded in a serious voice:

"Kaizi, instead of having time to ponder my small methods, you should study more from Volrettal about the grasp of the overall situation or the knowledge and ability of military command."

"After all, you are the prince of the blood elves, the future Sun King of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, with a keen and perceptive eye for the overall situation and the means to combine vertical and horizontal, this is the essential thing for a qualified leader and superior. And you're ...... now It's more like a simple mage with high strength, but not good at being flexible. ”

"And in the military, pursuing an upright conspiracy is the right way. As the leader of a country, even if you can't use your troops like a god militarily, you must at least fully understand the military common sense, and then ...... Know how to make good use of people! ”

These are the key questions that you should study and improve as much as you can...... Deliberately chasing those conspiracies and tricks and suspicious conspiracies will only outweigh the losses, but will fall into the inferior. ”

"After all, the absolute strength is enough to break through a qiē's conspiracy. Do your best to improve the strength of the Blood Elves and restore the prosperity before the invasion of the natural calamity...... This is what you, the Prince of Blood Elves, should do, and must do! ”

"Compare that...... Even the improvement of personal strength is secondary. A hero-level powerhouse, in Azeroth, it is enough to deal with most crises...... More enemies to fight against our people and compatriots! ”

"No matter how strong a person is, he is only as strong as he is! How many anti-heaven level masters do you think there can be like Akmund? ”

Old Tang took a rare step to speak, ignoring the annoyance of the elven prince and opened his mouth to preach.

And that's only because Kael'thas is one of the few friends that Don has a true friendship with in this world. In addition to the man with facial paralysis, such a close friend in Lao Tang's interpersonal circle is only Kaizi, and even Sal is a step worse.

In order to avoid Kaizi's future tragedy, Old Tang naturally had to seize every opportunity to subtly change some of his concepts.

It seems that he is worried that empty preaching is not only easy to cause boredom but also unconvincing, and the words of Old Tang have changed, and the current war has given an example:

"Just like this time!"

"If it weren't for the fact that the planned reinforcements were delayed by various sudden changes and the enemy, and Orgrimmar's orc army had to guard against the main force of Kul Tiras, how could I bother to think about these not-so-clever little tricks to delay the garrison of Razor Ridge?"

"Give me 20,000 legion warriors, or 30,000 or 50,000 elite wolf cavalry, and I promise to end this farcical battle within three days and wipe out the vanguard of the Kul Tiras navy!"

"Or did you lend me the Magister Legion for two days? Guaranteed to bring the defeat of those navies a little earlier! ”

"Speaking of this, I just remembered to ask you......" Old Tang's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at the elf prince suspiciously and asked, "You came to me this time, didn't you come to me for tea?" ”

"What's wrong?"

Old Tang already had a vague ominous guess in his heart, but he couldn't be sure yet......

Sure enough, hearing Old Tang's inquiry, Kael'tham's face suddenly became solemn, and he observed the surroundings of the secret room, and the elven prince casually connected the dots and arranged a soundproof barrier.

After the completion of the qiē, the elven prince said in a bitter voice:

Goode ...... We're in trouble! (To be continued) Q
