Chapter 82: Three Roads
At this time, not to mention the generals of the alliance, even the generals who participated in the battle not long ago, were seriously injured, and if it weren't for Brad's powerful treatment, they wouldn't even be able to do basic actions now, let alone shouting with weapons at the last moment. It was the last cry of the alliance generals that finally brought the tribe to a gloomy end, and this was the decision to break the wrist of the strong man.
But even at this moment, they can't see any serious injuries on the outside, but in fact, they basically have no combat effectiveness, and the only thing they are optimistic about is that in addition to the core of the alliance, there are also many high-level generals. Moreover, they believe that there are no paladins in the tribe, and now there are no shamans, and now they don't even have the ability to heal, and it is even more difficult for them to recover. At least compared to the generals of the Alliance, the speed of recovery was much worse.
But then again, it's all a problem for them to fight now, not to mention that it's Deathwing that they're going to face, and even if they do let it out, it's a sacrifice in vain, and they basically can't do much damage to Deathwing.
"Don't you shirk it, do you want to kill us?" Mograini, who has a fiery personality, said that it was not that they were not smart, but that the news was too shocking, and it was too urgent, and what could they do for a while.
Brad smiled bitterly and said: "I don't have a 100% successful strategy, and in the face of strong strength, it is in vain to have many conspiracies." However, we are not without opportunities. My mention is that we are all moving quickly, and we must not sit still at the Dark Gate. ā
"What's the matter, are we still acting rashly in this situation?" Furding frowned.
Brad affirmed, "We managed to capture the Dark Gate. To thwart the Horde's offensive, this advantage must not be abandoned, nor can the Horde be given a chance to breathe. Otherwise, they will inevitably make a comeback. Therefore, I decided that we divide our troops into three roads, and open up a road along the front of the map, and this is the Hellfire Fortress, which must be broken through the fortress with all our might, and the tribe's army must not be given a chance to regroup. ā
Tulayan's eyes lit up and he said, "The old marshal is right, if the remnants of the tribe are defeated, then even if the Deathwing is here. If we retreat temporarily, then the tribe will not be able to become a climate. ā
Brad nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant, so that we can solve the Deathwing game if our skills reach our intentions." The second way is to shoot the elite air force and try to intercept and destroy the tribal army that needs to find Deathwing. Intercept Deathwing if necessary. Although this is difficult to do, if it is really done, the effect is very huge. ā
This time no one answered, maybe intercepting the Horde's air force was not too difficult a task. But intercept Deathwing. It's just too hard to do.
Brad didn't wait for their answers, but continued, "The third mission is also very important, and that is to guard the Dark Gate. Of course, it's not just about guarding, you should know how difficult the two-way mission is, whether it's capturing the Hellfire Fortress or intercepting Deathwing, it's an extremely difficult task, so in addition to preventing the tribe from sending troops to raid this side after we leave, the main task is to close the dark door when necessary. ā
Close the Dark Door?
The generals of the alliance were in an uproar. It wasn't that they hadn't thought of closing the Dark Gate, but that was before the Horde invaded. Now that the league has entered Draenor, they didn't think of that possibility. They all knew very well that closing the Dark Gate would not solve any problem if they did not solve the great problem of the tribe.
But when you think about it, what Brad said does make a lot of sense. If they are really cornered, closing the Dark Gate is indeed the best way, at least to buy a certain amount of time, to give the Alliance time to rereact, otherwise the soldiers at the Watch Fort alone will not last long, which is also a safe way. And Bled also mentioned that yƬ left heavy troops, so that there was no basic trouble.
It's not that they don't want to use all their strength, they know that even if all the armies attack the Hellfire Fortress, the odds of victory may not be much higher, they can't use Azeroth as the price of their gamble, they can afford to gamble, but the people of Azeroth can't afford to gamble. This kind of choice, the slightest carelessness is a monstrous disaster, and the Eastern Kingdom can no longer withstand the toss of the orcs. Especially the Storm Kingdom, this time with such a lot of effort, if the orcs still stir up the storm in the kingdom's territory, then Varian will have to settle accounts with the bigwigs of the alliance first.
Now the shape of the alliance is weird, the Kingdom of Quel'Salas is eager to break away from the alliance, if it is not for the ancient contract, it can't wipe off the face, even Winlessa will not send it, even if it is so, most of the forces are mobilized rangers.
And a long time ago, Gilneth and Riptide Fort were dissatisfied with the alliance for levying huge taxes to support those orcs, and now that the king of Lordaeron is gone, Jean has lost interest in being the leader of the alliance, and he also understands what leader, the strength of his country is the first, so this time the orc invasion, he is also reluctant to send troops. If Fort Riptide hadn't been for some of the soldiers, that is, the strongmen represented by Danas who were grateful to the Alliance for rescuing Fort Riptide, they would definitely not have sent troops this time.
But the top brass of the alliance can see that the two countries have the same intention of withdrawing from the alliance as Quel'Thalas, especially after the Jasper Collar has clearly withdrawn, if it is not for the threat of the orcs, the alliance will inevitably fall apart.
Now Lordaeron is worried about internal and external troubles, unable to control and deter the alliance, just a year ago, Kurtilas and Gilneth almost had a big war because of a port dispute, and the king of Lordaeron as the leader of the alliance did not take convincing measures, which also made Kurtilas disheartened. Today's alliance has really reached a very dangerous time.
Of course, this is the political tendency of the top of the alliance. The impact on ordinary soldiers is not too great, their sense of belonging to the alliance is still very strong, and there is no big gap between the armies of various countries to fight together.
However, the Stormwind Kingdom, although it has just recovered a little vitality, but it already has the posture of a hegemon, Lordaeron has fallen, and Stormwind City has faintly become the center of the alliance's new policy, after all, the territory controlled by one kingdom of Lordaeron is equal to the land and resources of several other human countries, and his strength is beyond doubt.
The core generals of the alliance were silent for a while, and then Tulayan said: "The old marshal is really thoughtful and comprehensive, I completely agree with the marshal's opinion, but who goes which way?" ā
Although Tulayan didn't say it explicitly, everyone in the Alliance knew that he was asking who was going to intercept Deathwing, as it was an almost mortal mission.
Brad did not hesitate and said: "In this way, I will take the Thunder Eagle Legion to intercept the tribe looking for Deathwing, you should know that there is no air mount that is faster than Thunder Eagle, and besides, as far as my combat strength is intact now, your current situation, even if you see Deathwing, it will be useless." ā
"It's too dangerous, old marshal, and you'd better think about it."
All the people of Fording dissuaded Brad, and they all sincerely dissuaded. Brad said firmly: "It's decided, in this way, I will let the mechanical troops of the Jasper Collar also stay behind to help guard the Dark Gate, so that the Dark Gate will be safer, as long as you don't dislike me for being selfish." ā
The generals of the alliance glanced at each other, and they all saw the battle of the Dark Gate. The mechanical troops of the Jasper Collar were originally at the front, but then the soldiers of the Alliance crossed the formation, leading the Jasper Collar's army to cease fire, even if it attacked Hellfire, it is estimated that this will be the case, and the other soldiers of the Alliance, although respecting Brad. But for the Jasper Leader's army is still full of all kinds of envy and jealousy, they know this very well, it is safer to stay in the dark gate. Even if something happens in the end, it can at least close the dark door.
Then the core generals of the alliance began to distribute the army, and they agreed that only half of the existing army could take the Hellfire Fortress, and half of the army was left to connect with the Jasper Lord's mechanical troops to defend the Dark Gate, of course, the Jasper Leader also had a lot of troops to attack the Hellfire Fortress, and the same division of troops was divided into three ways.
And because of the injuries of the generals, several big lords such as Foding basically stayed behind to command the overall situation. Tulayan led the representatives of the various clans, Winresa, Danas, and Kurander, to attack the Hellfire Fortress. Of course, Mohr followed with the army led by Jasper.
"I think I can go with the old marshal and deal with Deathwing."
With a flash of arcane light, a mage with a desolate face suddenly appeared in the conference room, it was Khadgar.
"This, since Khadgar Mage has strength, it is better to use it to attack the Hellfire Fortress, where your strength is needed more." Brad said that fighting Deathwing was too dangerous for him to follow.
Khadgar smiled and said, "Thank you Marshal for your concern, but I went to Karazan this time not only to get a powerful magic channel, but also to get a very important piece of information. ā
"Oh?" Brad is undeniable.
"Forget it, that information doesn't matter." Khadgar said confidently: "I found another treasure of the teacher, just in time to summon back the Book of Medivan, and I also know that one of your heirlooms can also summon the Eye of Dalaran, of course, with the help of the constellation power in the sky. Then we can use these two artifacts to communicate the power of the constellations and fight against Deathwing. ā
Brad frowned and thought about it for a while, and immediately understood that it was the crystal he begged for when he was reborn, although it was their family's thing, but it was a long time ago, and he didn't expect it to have this kind of function, which shows how tolerant and guilty Antonidas was to himself at that time......
