Chapter 63: A New Strategy
Chapter 63
With the sound of Lothar tapping on the table, the whole tent fell silent. Everyone was extremely serious, sitting precariously ready to listen.
Lothar's gaze swept around the big tent, and he said straight to the point: "There are two purposes for convening everyone this time, one is to make the most strategic deployment before and after the war. Second, because several important strongholds such as Stratholm in Daron Mill were suddenly besieged by a large number of deadwood trolls, we had to come up with a strategy to deal with it. ”
Lothar turned his gaze to Dalin and said, "Admiral Dalin, please tell us about the latest movements of the orcs." ”
Dai Lin nodded and said, "At present, the orcs have run Tol Barad like an iron bucket, and it is basically not worth consuming a large number of soldiers to capture. After Commander Lothar and Adjutant Brad returned to Lordaeron, our navy also discovered the orc troop carriers and launched a surprise attack, aided by underwater fishmen and sky troops. The harvest is not small. But then a ship wrapped in strange metal appeared in the tribe, and the fishmen could not chisel through the bottom of the orcs' ships even if they had armor-piercing chisels, and the role of artillery and air force was weakened. We no longer have much advantage at sea. ”
Dalin said as he placed a large piece of green metal on the conference table. The core of the conference table was circulated and all shook their heads to indicate that they did not recognize the metal.
Brad tapped on the metal skin and said, "I know this metal, this is a special metal of Draenor, called magic iron, the magic conductivity is very good, and it is a good material for well-made equipment of higher quality." ”
Lothar and the others nodded to show that they understood, they no longer doubted Brad's words now, and besides, Brad didn't need to lie about such a thing.
Dahlin cleared his throat and continued, "According to the Air Force's reconnaissance, the port of Minethil and Tol Barad are currently full of orcs, and I estimate that they are still waiting for the arrival of the Grimbaatar Red Dragon Legion to land on Lordaeron in one fell swoop.
Seeing that Admiral Dalin had nothing to say, Danas of Riptide Castle interjected: "The orcs have begun to tentatively storm the defense line of the Sadol Bridge, the only thing worth noting is that the orcs seem to have changed to a new commander, according to my observation, the orc commander is very fierce, his strength is as epic as mine, but his axe will emit a terrible sonic boom when wheeled, like the sharp roar of the undead, which can greatly weaken the soldier's will to fight." ”
"I've never seen this orc leader." Lothar frowned and thought for a while, then turned her gaze to Brad and asked, "What do you think, Brad?" ”
Brad smiled bitterly and said, "If you are not mistaken, the person General Danas is talking about should be Grom Hellroar, who is the chief of the Warsong Clan. ”
Brad also wondered, if he remembered correctly, Grom had only appeared in the Third War.
Lothar said, "Warsong Clan? I've only heard Garona tell me that this time the orcs are mainly the Black Hand Clan, the Blood Cave Clan, the Broken Hand Clan, and the Dragonthroat Clan, and other large clans among the orcs, and Warsong is a small clan among the orcs? ”
In the previous life, Brad didn't know much about the specifics of the orcs, but he absorbed the complete heroic spirit of Necrus, and he was very familiar with the orcs.
Without waiting for others to ask, he said, "As far as I know, the Warsong clan is among the top five clans among the orc clans. It is by no means comparable to the small clans among the orcs, and the tribe is dominated by the big clan, plus the tribe united by countless small clans. ”
"So the tribe has increased its troops in large numbers." Lothar immediately understood Brad's implication.
The room fell silent, and all the cores looked at the map on the table, considering what was going to happen next.
"The form is clear, let's talk about the strategy." Lothar looked around for a while and then fell on Dalin.
Dai Lin did not shirk and began to expound his views and opinions.
Brad leaned back in his chair and listened to the core take turns to make their own points, while everyone but her sat on the edge and pondered the feasibility of various strategies.
After arguing with each other for more than half an hour, the core finally reached a consensus.
"In that case, everyone agreed that the orcs would inevitably enter Lordaeron. The strategy is to restrain the pace of the orcs' westward advance, as long as the orcs are restrained from moving westward, they can effectively protect the safety of Lordaeron's royal city, Gilneth, Alterac and Dalaran. Lothar looked at Danas and said, "But this will greatly increase the danger of Fort Riptide, so it has been decided that two generals, Dasohan and Abydis, will lead a group of Silver Hands and Army to help garrison Fort Riptide." ”
The human race had reached a complete consensus, and Lothar looked at the two dwarven brothers and asked solemnly, "What do you mean, Lord Copperbeard?" ”
Muradin took a sip of Jasper Collar's cellar wine, and after a while said, "I'm here to fight, and as for how to fight, I and our dwarven legions are completely at the mercy of the commander. ”
Lothar nodded and looked at Aurelia again, and said, "Lady Aurelia, what is your opinion?" ”
Of course, Aurelia has no opinion, in the territory of the human race, she naturally has no opinion, so she said: "I have no opinion either, obey the arrangement of the command." ”
Lothar nodded with satisfaction and said loudly, "Then this resolution is passed." Here's the troll problem of Daron Mill, and I'll introduce you to Lady Arya, an adventurer, who is the head of Stratholme. ”
Brad looked at the huntress in tight chain mail standing up in the crowd with a surprised face, he never imagined that the woman he had saved from the orcs and had been taken advantage of by himself was actually his old enemy, the high-ranking of the Brilliant Guild.
Arya obviously also felt Brad's surprised gaze, glared at Brad fiercely, and then said: "Arya has met the generals, let me introduce myself, I am the city lord of Stratholme and the vice president of the Brilliant Guild. Our guild has endured hardships with the trust and support of the Kingdom of Lordaeron......"
Aurelia keenly noticed the eyes of the two, and asked in a low voice with an unkind face: What is your relationship with her, and why are you two eyebrows at each other? ”
"Ahem, Aurelia you misunderstood, I really have nothing to do with her, I just saved three women from the orcs in the wetland, and she was one of them." Killing Brad, he won't tell Aurelia that he's taking advantage of Arya.
"Really?" Aurelia was visibly disconvinced. "Then why is she glaring at you, is it that you are doing something that you shouldn't do?"
Brad's face was full of innocence, and he whispered: "I have a grudge with the Brilliant Guild, it's strange that she can have a good impression of me, if I know that she is the high-level of the Brilliant Guild, I will kill her." ”
"Miss Arya, please get straight to the point, we're not interested in you adventurers." Uther interrupted Arya's constant advocacy of the Brilliant Guild.
Arya was visibly stunned, took a deep breath, resisted the urge to put the soles of her shoes on Uther's face, and said, "We've been fighting the deadwood trolls of Daron Mill for more than half a year, but it's always been a small battle. But I don't know what the reason is, since half a month ago, a large number of trolls suddenly appeared, the number is at least 50,000, and it is still increasing, we have fought bloodily, but after all, we are outnumbered, retreat to Stratholme, and the trolls have surrounded the city. I'm working in Jasper, and I received a message from my subordinates yesterday, and I guarantee that the message is very accurate. ”
Lothar nodded and motioned for Arya to sit down, he thought about it for a moment and said, "The problem of the trolls must be solved, and the war must be ended before the orcs attack Lordaeron, so that the orcs and trolls do not unite." In this way, we are very passive. ”
Everyone agrees on this view, and it took humans and the High Elves to defeat the Zuaman Empire in the past, but the hundred-legged worm is dead but not stiff, the threat of trolls still exists, and the resilience of trolls is amazing, and it is very difficult to deal with.
Since the tone is the same, the remaining question is the question of who will lead the troops to quell the chaos. Everyone understands that this is an opportunity to gain prestige and military exploits, and now that the elite of the coalition forces are gathered, a small number of troops can be used to disperse the trolls.
But Brad understands that this is a tough one, and if you are not careful, you will plant a big heel. This time it wasn't the usual small-scale troll counterattack, but the fierce response of Zurgin, the leader of Zuaman, to the humans.
Duke Presto broke the silence and said solemnly, "I propose that Your Excellency Tulayan lead a group of elites to quickly defeat the trolls. ”
Uther was the first to support, saying: "Tulayan's excellence in the Silver Hand is evident and I think he is fully qualified and capable of taking on this responsibility. ”
Lothar didn't say anything, but said, "What do you think, Brad?" ”
Brush Brush Brush ......
Everyone turned their eyes to Brad, knowing that it was an open secret that Brad and Tulayan did not deal with each other, and then both of them fell in love with Aurelia, and as a result, Brad's chess game and holding the beauty has become a hot topic in the league, and now Lothar actually threw this question to Brad, and everyone was in high spirits, and they all guessed that there was a good show......
