Chapter 287: The Scarlet Crusader's Reaction
Fragments of armor represent the Forsaken thieves who have already done it, and the fate of the Red Courier is needless to say.
According to the plan, the forged letterhead is probably about to reach Wademar soon, and if nothing else, the Scarlet Crusade will soon begin to assemble and regroup. It was less than three days before they began attacking the Cowling junction. The components of the convoy and the suppression of the undead in Blackwood Lake are also on the agenda......
From the day after Xie Feng arrived, the Scourge Legion had already received the news from the lich, and the undead in Blackwood Lake, Kaolin Intersection, and even Beigu had frequently moved, and no longer scattered as before, but began to form small groups of troops gathered together, and it was obvious that there were lichs or dead riders hiding in them to command and dispatch.
This kind of change naturally can't escape the ears and eyes of Silver Dawn, and Colfax's originally smooth consultation work has also fallen into a stalemate stage, in order to form a suppression and protect the safety of the first transportation line, a large number of Silver Dawn elite warriors were dragged in the North Valley, Xie Feng also asked for two hundred rangers from Hawksbill to join the transport team.
The first route is easy to say, but the second is troublesome. Even if Silver Dawn tried his best, it would take a lot of trouble to clear the catastrophic town at the intersection of Kaulin, let alone the current situation where the troops were overstretched? More and more materials belonging to the Forsaken were piling up in the chapel, but they could not be delivered to Maris Farm at all.
In the past few days, Baron Maxwell and Silver Commander Erigor have also discussed with the 'worried' Xie Feng many times, trying to find a feasible solution, but in vain, even if they are willing to attack the crossroads with all their strength, it is still a question of whether they can succeed! And the Silver Dawn is in a big situation, will Stratholme do nothing? The two of them did not think about asking the Scarlet Crusaders to fight together, but when they thought that the supplies were to be given to the Forsaken, they both wisely chose to keep silent.
They were worried, but Xie Feng's heart was like a mirror, there was not much worry at all, and after getting the piece of armor, even the last trace of uneasiness was completely dispelled, and now it was only left how to explain to the two of them, let them start preparing to transport supplies, and take advantage of the brief opportunity of the Scarlet Crusader to launch a surprise attack to break out of the encirclement.
In front of the conference table in the hall of the chapel, the three of them sat there frowning, each thinking about their own thoughts. The leaders of the other Brotherhoods, Silver Dawn and Scarlet Crusaders were all busy with their own business, and no one was present, only the Minotaur Shaman of the Dragon Council and the dark night druid of Cenario sat in the corner and quietly kissed me and me~ After sitting quietly for a long time, Xie Feng finally found a reluctant reason, and was about to persuade the two of them, when several blood-colored figures suddenly broke into the outside with expressions or worries, or excitement
Led by the commander of the Scarlet Crusader's Chapel, Marlan and several other leaders, the leader of the combat troops, Scarlet was angry with Mataus, the thief leader Killer Rohan who was in charge of intelligence gathering, and Leopud, the leader of the hunters who had mastered the transmission of information, these three Xie Feng knew each other, but had little contact.
"Ma'am, is there anything you can help with?" Seeing them appear, Erigor slowed his tone and whispered hello.
Xie Feng was slightly happy in his heart, and the complicated looks on the faces of the four of them had already explained that the letter from the withered one had taken effect! While they were excited about being able to launch a large-scale campaign to eradicate the natural disaster, they were also a little worried and slightly hesitant about the predictable brutality of the battle. Perhaps, they can tell Kalin's plan and impress the two
Sure enough, Marlan unceremoniously walked straight to Maxwell and sat down, hesitated slightly, but gritted his teeth and said, "The Crusaders are going to attack Cowling!" ”
The three of them were stunned, looked at each other a few times with dull expressions, and were speechless for a while, of course, Xie Feng's expressions were completely pretended, but Maxwell and Eregor were completely overwhelmed and shocked! According to the usual style of the Scarlet Crusaders, except for Tylan in Hearthvale, everyone else is the kind of guy who will never die once he goes to war with the Scourge. Marlan said that he was going to attack the Cowlin junction, so it was almost certain that the Hand of Tyr would pour out of the nest and destroy the scourge there
"Are you crazy? Whose decision is this?! Erigor completely lost his grace and stood up in a bit of a rage and asked.
"Why? Was it a temporary idea or a long-planned one? Do you take the initiative or are you forced to attack? Suddenly changed dramatically, Maxwell was just stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses and calmly asked a few important questions, which made Xie Feng, who was watching the play next to him, feel admiration from the bottom of his heart~ Everywhere is shocked, this is the real general's demeanor! Compared to Maxwell, he is completely inadequate, that is, he has relied on the golden finger to get to the point where he is today, if he suddenly heard that Liadlin led the Morning Forward Legion to attack Angela, he would have jumped up at this time, right? ~ Not only him, but even Marlan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard his question, as if he knew Maxwell for the first time, and stared at him with strange eyes for a long time, and then replied: "The request of the Great Lord Dassault Khan!" The Cowlin junction has become a training ground for the Cursed Sect, and is supplying Stratholme with a steady stream of elite cursed mages, making him feel very struggling and demanding that we destroy all the undead there! Orders sent yesterday! ”
Hearing this, Maxwell covered his forehead with a headache. The matter of the convoy has not been resolved, and the Scarlet Crusaders have come to add to the chaos again, although they have not said it explicitly, but all the Scarlet high-level officials stationed in the chapel have come over to tell themselves the news, obviously wanting the Silver Dawn to cooperate~ Erigor next to him turned pale several times, and finally looked at Marlan with a little playful gaze and asked, "Who asked you to come here?" ”
The Brotherhood of Light has been established for so long, and he has dealt with the Scarlet Crusaders a lot, but every time he fights together, he first sends someone to ask Marlan for their cooperation, but the Scarlet Crusaders have never asked their allies, even if they know that the fight is very difficult and may even be defeated, these crazy guys are not willing to fake their hands on others, and now Marlan actually ran over and asked for support in the past few days, is it because of that, is her mood a little unstable?
Hearing this, Marlan's face turned slightly red, and her eyes were a little evasive, this emotion flashed on her face, and the next moment she regained her usual perseverance, and said in a cold voice: "Demytia! ”
Although it was only a fleeting change, Xie Feng, who had been staring at her, captured it very clearly, and the next expression and tone were more like a cover made because of shyness when the secret was revealed.
"Sure enough, it's her~" Erigor nodded in surprise and understanding, and pouted disdainfully: "Tyr's hand is just such a brain, and the brain is quite normal~"
Marlan glared at him with a gloomy face, but didn't attack this sentence, but sneered: "Since you know what else you ask?" The first day you met us? ”
Erigor spread his hands, seemingly helpless but without the slightest hesitation, but eagerly responded: "Okay, please tell Demitian and Vadmar that this operation is my share!" I can't afford to take part in the battle at Cowlin Crossing, but I can guarantee that Stratholme and Naxxramas won't be able to support the undead there! ”
Both the Brotherhood of Light and the Scarlet Crusade are organizations known for their militancy, and they are equally desperate to deal with natural disasters! However, the radicality of the blood color lies in the fact that they are crazy enough to destroy everything that is related to the natural disaster, and the Brotherhood of Light will cooperate with any like-minded force in order to eliminate the natural disaster, as long as they resist the natural disaster, even if it is a life and death enemy, the next moment they will become your most loyal companions, no exceptions!
The two organizations can be said to be like-minded in some aspects, and they have also been recognized by each other to a certain extent, so there is no surprise that Eregor will agree to fight, Maxwell, but the bitterness on his already bad face is heavier, and the only one left in his eyes for a moment reveals a mentality of wanting to cry without tears~ Although he knew that it was impossible, he still wanted to let these two madmen calm down, so he looked at Xie Feng, the only one next to him who seemed to be calm, with some anticipation
"How about counting us blood elves?" The blood knight, who had high hopes, obviously showed a trace of excitement on his face at this time, and the words he said made Maxwell almost lose his breath, and the last trace of luck in his heart was also broken, leaving him completely speechless.
"The second batch of reinforcements from Silvermoon City will return to the Dabeidi Outpost Tower in the next two days, if I can, I would also like to join this grand event!" Seeing that the situation was developing in the direction he had planned, the excitement in Xie Feng's heart was already beyond words, and he hurriedly expressed his attitude.
Although the Scarlet Crusaders were destined to suffer a great loss of vitality in this operation, they could not watch them defeated. Calculate it, just avenge the blood knights who died in battle, and if you completely cripple them, it won't do anyone good, so you can help in this regard. And once the road of Kaulin is opened, then the connection between all the forces of the plague land against the natural calamity can be opened, so why not?
"Absolutely!" Erigor was overjoyed, and before Marlan could speak, he hurriedly said, "Welcome to join, friend!" After speaking, he simply pulled out a topographic map of the Eastern Plague Land from his arms, put aside the dull-eyed Maxwell, and leaned over to discuss it with the two~ Xie Feng first supported the Kaulin intersection and asked, "How many troops are the Scarlet Crusaders ready to send?" Do you know about the deployment of the Scourge at the Cowling junction? Who is in charge? ”
Marlan cleared her throat and replied, "Except for the necessary remaining troops, the Scarlet Crusaders of the Hand of Tyr will all join the battle, led by General Abydis, me, and Demytia!" ”
After a pause, he pointed to Rohan, the killer who had not spoken a word behind him: "As for the information about the Kaulin Disaster, he can tell you everything you want to know!" ”
Luo Han took a step forward, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said loudly: "Aha~ It's an honor to be able to answer the questions of the two, in the plague land, no information can escape the bunny cubs under my command!" Of course, except for the underwear style of the eldest sister Marlan's head, "~" 咒! ”
"Get to the point!" Marlan didn't look back, didn't know where to pull out a shield, and made it close to Rohan's face with lightning speed.
Xie Feng was speechless, looking at Leopud and Mataus, who took a few steps back very tacitly at the same time as Luo Han spoke, and then looked at Marlan, who withdrew his shield with an expressionless face, and Eregor and Max Well, who did not feel the slightest surprise, seemed to be commonplace, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. But if Marlan had changed into those underwear, he would have known what style it was, and he had seen Sirendis's purchase list at the beginning
The sad Rohan stretched out his hands as if he was fine, rubbed the flat side of the beaten for a while, returned to normal in an instant, shrugged his shoulders, and said as if no one was around: "Okay, get to the point!" There are about 3,000 stitching monsters, about 2,000 banshees, more than 50,000 low-level scourge troops, and thousands of elite cursed cultists and necromancers! As for their commander, he used to be a ninth-order high-level lich, and now he may have become a death knight! ”
Erigor was stunned: "What do you mean?" Would a Scourgee be stupid enough to have two high-ranking commanders in one place? Kel'thugad accidentally got kicked in the head by Saffron? ”
Luo Han raised his eyebrows: "Perhaps, but I'm sure that five days ago, a few Death Knights who were at least at the peak of the ninth order sneaked into the Cowlin intersection!" Although they were very secretive and killed all the undead and living in their path in order to hide their tracks, they still couldn't escape my detection! ”
Xie Feng wondered: "That's the case, how do you know?" Went scouting in person? ”
"Of course not!" Rohan spread his hands; "My brother once gave me a pair of cute jackals, and although they were infected with the plague after coming here, they still listened to me very well! It's a pity that those Death Knights didn't clean up the plague dogs that were everywhere~"
"Jackals?" Xie Feng was stunned: "That blood-colored dog trainer Locke in the monastery is your brother?" ”
Rohan nodded in acknowledgement. Although it is a bit incredible, Xie Feng is still basically sure of the accuracy of this news, a high-level death knight suddenly appeared in Kaulin, it seems that it is which lich in the crown watchtower has sent a message to Stratholme, and the ambush sent by President Ke wants to yin himself and the wither, and the commander of Kaulin must be this group of dead knights!
"A few ninth-order death knights are helping, it's a bit of trouble now~" Erigor looked at the map and muttered to himself in a little distress.
"These Scarlet Crusaders will be dealt with, you don't need to worry about it!" Marlan said in a firm tone.
Erigor and Xie Feng glanced at each other, shrugged helplessly, and then asked, "Then, the Cowlin intersection will be completely handed over to you Scarlet Crusaders to deal with!" Let's talk about the reaction of the other strongholds and Stratholme after the start of the war~"
Xie Feng nodded, dragging his chin and pretending to think for a while, before pointing to the map and saying the plan he had planned for a long time: "North Valley, Stratholme, Blackwood Lake, Mushroom Valley, and Talon County, these are all places where natural disasters may respond!" And the only places that can directly affect the battlefield of Kaulin are Blackwood Lake and Dalong County! ”
"North Valley can be contained with Colfax leading a few people to sit in the East Wall Watchtower, and there is no need to completely suppress and ensure that they can't rush to Cowling!"
"Stratholme's Scourge reinforcements will definitely be the most powerful force, and the Northland Watchtower can only hold on at best, not completely blockade, so the main force of the Brotherhood of Light and the Silver Dawn Warriors need to be stationed there, and they must all be blocked in the northwest."
"And the few rangers in the Quellins Hut and the newly reinforced Morning Striker Shooters can form another army to contain the undead scourge in Blackwood Lake, so that they will not affect the battle situation, so that no natural disaster reinforcements east of the Cowlin intersection will reach the main battlefield, and the Scarlet Crusaders can fight hard!"
"To be on the safe side, I'll take the Blood Knights around the battlefield to prevent mutations!"
A plan that had already been determined at this time, Xie Feng said it with a temporary look, and the eyes of the four blood-colored leaders such as Marren and Eregor were full of brilliance, and for the first time, he was impressed by this crappy but well-known new general of Silver Moon City.
"So, what about the east of Kaurin? What about natural disaster camps such as Talonjun and Mushroom Valley? Erigor asked Xie Feng curiously and thoughtfully.
But before he could answer, Marlan spoke, "I will come to the rescue of Bishop Ethanlien of Hearthvale and ask him to send reinforcements to attack Talon County!" ”
Xie Feng and Erigor were slightly stunned, then looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The natural disasters in Mushroom Valley are destined to rely on them to resist, this is not mentioned by Marlen, and it is obvious that he has already tacitly acquiesced to the transfer of troops from the Eastern Plague, why not ask for ** to the Blightburner Legion? Why bother?!
But it's not easy to say this directly, and he said helplessly: "I hope that the leader is Tailan!" ”
The Hearthside Valley could barely be trusted, if the others, Xie Feng were even afraid that they would attack Maris Farm first
Marlan seemed to understand this, was silent for a moment, and nodded, "As you wish!" ”
After saying that, he turned his head to look behind him and made a look, and the hunter Leopud nodded slightly, turned around and left first.
In a hurry, Marlan supplemented the battle plan with Xie Feng and Erigore, and then said hello to Maxwell, who looked helpless, turned around and left~
