Chapter 120: The brains of two legions

Among those who attended the military meeting on the front line in Burning Wood Village, Admiral Gathris represented the Southern Legion of Lordaeron, Arthas represented the Knights of the Silver Hand, Division Vargas represented Dalaran, Garin Thorbair represented the Fort Rapidwater Advance Cavalry, Rona Crowley represented the Gilneth Brigade, Furstad Brute Hammer represented the Brute Griffon Knights, and Svein represented the Valoran coalition. Gianna was also in attendance, but Kultiras's army was fighting at sea, and she was only an observer.

However, Jiang Weihan saw her sitting next to Arthas, and looking at the eyebrows between the two, he seemed to understand something.

Jiang Weihan sat straight to the chairman's seat, and the other deputies also took their seats one after another. No one had any objection to him sitting in that position.

The troops invested by the Valoran coalition army on the front line of Burning Wood Village accounted for forty percent of the total number of alliance troops, and in terms of status, Jiang Weihan was also one of the two most honorable people. So he also deservedly presided over this meeting.

Jiang Weihan said: "Maybe some of you have already gotten the news, and some haven't. I would like to inform you of the sad news that His Majesty King Jean Greymanne of Gilneth was confirmed to have died at the hands of a natural disaster two days ago. The battle of Gilneth was severe, and the situation of the survivors was even more difficult. There is only one topic on the agenda of this meeting - that is, to launch an offensive in advance, to pinnate, inflict heavy damage, and even annihilate the large army of the Scourge Corps on the Wall of Greymane, and to relieve the pressure on the Alliance Naval Landing Force on the Southern Front and the Gilnes Resistance Army. ”

Garin Tolbain had arrived only today, and the young king had apparently not expected to be shocked to hear such news when he arrived. Originally, a few months ago, when Jiang Weihan went to the Arathi Heights with Tirio and Gianna to mediate the war between the orcs and the kingdom of Stormgard, King Garin had some unpleasant interactions with them. He led the advance cavalry of Fort Riptide to see the great strength of the Valoran Federation, and he didn't know how to reconcile with this rapidly rising power, but it seemed that the black-haired lord didn't care about his offense at all.

But when he heard the news of King Jean's death, Garin was still stunned.

After listening to the report on the damage caused by the natural disaster in Gilneth in the information collected by Svein in the future, he clearly understood what kind of existence the natural disaster was.

They are not fragile skeletons, slow-moving living corpses, or ghosts that can only scare the cowardly, as Garin imagined, but a plague that infects nearly 200,000 people at every turn, a flying fortress that no one has ever seen, a super abomination that no one can match, and an endless sea of the dead.

Garin Thorbain realized how correct Jiang Weihan was when he said that "natural disasters are really disasters for the entire living world", and he was stupid in comparison.

Fortunately, it was not too late for him to realize this, otherwise Gilneth would have learned from the past!

When Svein finished his introduction and returned to his seat, there was silence in the conference room. Everyone looked solemn, including Arthas and Gianna, who had rekindled their old loves.

Jiang Weihan said: "According to the information we have so far, the flying fortress of the natural disaster is no longer in the territory of Gilneth. In other words, now, anywhere on the continent of Lordaeron, or even in the whole of Azeroth, could be attacked by the Scourge Legion. They will replicate their actions, as they did in Gilneis. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, our forces can guarantee that the natural plague in Gilneth will not spread, but what about when a second such place appears? That means we have one less ally, and the Scourge is growing in strength again. ”

"We cannot allow the Scourge to carry out their plans so comfortably - an antidote to the plague is under intense development. We need to buy enough time for the alchemists until the plague no longer poses a threat to us. That's when we can fight back, even the Northern Expedition to Northrend, smash the Glacier Fortress, and destroy the Lich King! ”

"Until then, we must do our best to curb the spread of natural disasters! Now, they need to be dealt with immediately. At least so that they don't threaten the rest of us! ”

Admiral Garissus said, "Your Excellency, I fully understand your intentions, and I think that this should indeed be done. But what about the Wall of Greymane that lies before our eyes? Although the wall has not been able to withstand a real attack since it was erected, we cannot but admit that it is definitely a difficult fortress to impreach. With only a quarter of our forces on the wall, it would be able to completely stop all of us from desperately attacking. Do you want the soldiers to shed their blood and die in vain under this wall? ”

His words were echoed by others.

The King of Eagle's Nest Mountain, Furstad, complained: "Although this Jean is dead, it may be a bit offensive to say this--but this wall he has built is really harming others and himself!" ”

The words of the Hammer Dwarven Leader spoke to everyone's heart: this wall was built to stop the enemy, but it did block the allies.

"We've already thought about that." Jiang Weihan motioned to Svein, and the Strategist Commander stepped forward again, walking to the map of Gilneth on the wall on crutches.

He began, "This wall of Greymane is more than 170 kilometers long. According to our observations, there are currently about 50,000 or so Scourge soldiers guarding the wall. 70% of them are concentrated within 15 kilometers of the gates of the Wall of Greymane. The rest is sparsely distributed over another 155 kilometers or more. This front is very long, and this is its biggest weakness. On weakly defended sections of the wall, there is an average of one natural disaster defense every 10 meters. As long as we concentrate on breaking through a certain point and ascending the city wall, we will have the capital to attack the gate one by one. ”

When the other delegates heard his explanation, their hearts relaxed a lot - it seemed that the wall was not as difficult to deal with as they had imagined!

"But that's the stupidest thing to do, and I don't recommend it."

Everyone was stunned.

Just listen to him continue: "The second option is easier and has fewer casualties - our scientist 'demolitionist' Giggs has developed a hex high explosive/charge. As long as we dig underground and plant enough explosives under the gates, the gates of the Greymane Wall and the Scourge guarding the vicinity will be blown into the sky. We can get access to Gilneth by blasting, but the wall of Greymane will be damaged by YanzhΓ²ng. ”

Admiral Garissus said indifferently: "It's okay, I think this plan is very good, our ground forces can avoid a lot of losses." ”

Originally, this wall was built to guard against the Lordaeron Kingdom, although Lordaeron did not intend to invade Gilneis, but as a general of the Lordaeron Kingdom, he instinctively looked at this wall unpleasantly. To destroy it is a double win.

Rhona Crowley, the daughter of the Great Lord of Gilneth, wanted to object, but she couldn't find a more suitable reason. She was quickly relieved - wasn't this the wall that had cut off the connection between her father's domain and Gilneth? It's okay to blow it up. Building walls to defend oneself has proven to be undesirable, and it has been proven that only exchange, communication, and alliances are the way to survive.

"We have the first option!" Svein continued. Everyone was even more surprised, the Wall of Greymane was originally as impassable as a moat in their minds, how could there be so many loopholes in front of this lame gloomy man?

"The Wall of Greymane lies between the forces of the Alliance and the territory of Gilneis. The Scourge placed the vast majority of its forces on the Wall and on the southern front, but very few troops were committed to the areas they had occupied. Because they think it's safe from a massive attack by us. They felt that no other force could influence their domination in the rear than the air force. ”

"What is certain is that the scourge on the wall will not give up the defensive advantage and take the initiative to attack us. But there's a way to force them out of the walls to fight us! ”

"What's the solution, tell me about it!" Everyone was intrigued. This inscrutable Valoran military commander made a deep impression on them in a short time - this lame guy really knows how to fight, right?

Svein looked in the direction of the ** division Vargas: "Now Dalaran has risen into the sky, but Naxxramas has lost its trace, and it has no opponent for the time being." But the city in the sky itself is strategically important - what if we put the troops of Burning Wood into Dalaran Castle and let it fly directly over the walls of Greymane, and drop our warriors into Gilneys, such as behind the walls of Greymane, like Gilneys, what will the defenders of the walls do? His gaze swept over the people around him. None of you are stupid, and you immediately realize that this is indeed the best solution.

"Then they will be cut off from their tails, and there is no point in trapping them on the wall, and they will face the dilemma of being attacked on their backs! When the time comes, they will have to leave the protection of the walls and fight where we want to fight them! Arthas, who had a good military education, immediately realized that this was a brilliant solution, and not only praised it, "What a perfect solution!" ”

King Furstad patted his thigh and smiled, "Your name is Svein, right?" Terrible! Your brain can last at least two legions! ”

Svein's face was as calm as ever, not in the slightest let go of the praise of the crowd. Only this calmness can make him always make the most rational and correct judgment.

The only person in this world who understands his thoughts is probably the inseparable crow on his shoulder.

Jiang Weihan was very relieved that Valoran's heroes were gradually starting to make their mark on this new world, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
