Chapter 0120: The Great War Is About to Begin
.
The previous Lordaeron envoys, the Gallishers, had only been gone for a few days. The current commander-in-chief of the Silver Hand, Sohan, this paladin led an elite force of nearly 3,000 men to the Flame Canyon once again.
The purpose of their visit this time was to fulfill the agreement they had agreed with the Fire Elementals last time, and to escort these Lordaeron refugees stranded in the Flame Canyon to the hands of Tyr under their control.
In their opinion, compared to the Flame Canyon, the Hand of Tyr is more suitable for refugees to live in, where the conditions are good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Grand Canyon in the Hand of Tyr is much more spacious than this increasingly crowded Flame Canyon, and after these refugees migrate, they will definitely have enough living space.
It's just that what Dassault can't understand is why a small half of them are still unwilling to leave with them?
You know, he had already gone to the refugee camp to mobilize, and sent some eloquent soldiers to the refugee camp to preach how safe the hand of Tyr they were guarding, and also assured that their 3,000 elite soldiers would ensure their safety during the escort.
But until now, among the nearly 10,000 Lordaeron refugees here, in the end, less than 6,000 Lordaeron refugees are willing to leave with them, and the remaining 4,000 people don't want to leave at all.
These people, no matter how much his soldiers tried to persuade and reassure, the other party was unwilling to leave, and they even cultivated farmland here, and some of them even formed new families, and it seemed that they were planning to settle here for a long time.
This situation was a headache for Da Sohan, and he only had two days at most to get the refugee door to make all the preparations before the move. For example: luggage that needs to be packed in advance, marshalling before departure, and water and dry food needed along the way.
After all, moving refugees is a complex task, especially with an operation like the one that now has nearly 10,000 people! Besides, the Refugees Gate is not an army, and their migration is not a march to war, and in Da Sohan's opinion, the speed of the march will certainly not be much faster.
For their regular legion, it only takes three or two days to travel back and forth, and for these refugees, they can walk for at least ten days and half a month!
If it weren't for the fact that the undead on this side of the Eastern Plague Land had begun to become surprisingly small recently, he Da Sohan might not have dared to take on such a difficult escort mission, even if there were reinforcements on the way, even if this place was not too far from the hand of Tyr!
As for the return route in two days' time, Da Sohan had already surveyed it when they came here. When all the preparations were ready, they led the group out of the canyon and headed straight southeast, passing the Blomir they had cleared, and in a few days they would soon reach the Chapel of the Wish of Light.
There, the chapel can be used as a first supply point, where they can rest for a little for two days before setting off all the way south. If his estimate was correct, according to his estimate of the normal speed of the refugees, it would only take about ten days at most to reach their final destination, the Hand of Tyr!
The advantage of this route is that the road is short, there are few undead, and they have already cleaned up the way when they come, so that they can avoid the groups of undead scourge troops on the main road, and can also minimize the panic and unnecessary attrition caused by the attack of the undead in the refugee gate.
There are advantages and disadvantages, and this route is full of mountains and mountains, except for the country road on the route from Bromir to the Chapel of the Wish of Light.
In other words, their 3,000 troops will lead thousands of refugees to climb mountain roads for days, or there will be no roads at all in those places! As you can imagine now, it will certainly not be too easy for them to not only serve as escorts, but also as pioneers in opening the way.
"Your Excellency, among the refugees outside, there is a coolie named Will now, and he ...... He claimed to be a knight and said he wanted to see you, would you like to let him in? ”
As Da Sohan struggled with the relocation of refugees, there was a sound of armor clashing as he walked, and then a Lordaeron legionnaire outside the tent opened the curtain and walked in, saluted and shouted a loud report.
"Will Knight? Refugee coolies? Scold! It's kind of interesting! Well, it's okay now anyway, so ...... Let him in. ”
After frowning and thinking about it for a while, Da Sohan was sure that he had no impression of this so-called Will Knight, he had never known such a person, and he should not be a member of the original Silver Hand Knights.
But..., since your own affairs are basically taken care of now, then, now that you are idle, you might as well meet this so-called knight and see what the other party wants to do when he comes to him.
……
"Your Excellency Commander Dasohan! The former captain of the cavalry of the Third Regiment of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Will Knight, now, has come to report to you. ”
After getting the commander's permission, the guards walked out, and soon a middle-aged man in a shabby linen jacket, a scruffy beard, and unkempt hair walked into the tent, and this man took two steps forward, knelt on one knee and half on the ground, and gave the paladin Dasohan, who was sitting on the throne, a standard Lordaeron Kingdom military salute.
"That...... Your name is Will, right? I'm sorry, but I can't tell you at all from you right now, except that you look like a knight in the way you salute? ”
Seeing that the person who came in turned out to be such a person, Da Sohan frowned, put on a straight face, slowly stood up from his position, and stepped forward in front of this Will knight.
Frowning again, looking at the middle-aged man half-kneeling on the ground, Da Suohan was sure that if it weren't for the other party's claim that he was a knight, perhaps, when he first looked at it now, he would definitely think that the person in front of him was just an ordinary coolie. Look at the wood chips on the other party, or perhaps, he is actually an ordinary lumberjack?
"Your Excellency, Commander! I am truly a knight! I've served in the Third Legion of the Kingdom of Lordaeron before, from the end of the Second Orc War until now! It's all well documented! ”
Hearing that Da Sohan doubted his identity, Will Knight was anxious.
This time, he took advantage of the great migration to sneak out of the lumber yard after his work at the lumber yard finally stopped, and he didn't want to be caught back as a coolie.
"Well, let's leave that out for now. I'm curious, why can't I see where you look like a knight at all? ”
"Please answer my question: Will Knight, where is your armor? What about your weapons? Right now... Can you please tell me, where are they now? Even if... You are really a knight, but the way you are now, you also stain the honor of a knight! Go on, go back to your camp, and I'll never take in a single cavalryman who has lost his honor or armor!" ”
Da Sohan shook his head and waved his hand to call in two guards, intending to blast the bastard out of sight and out of mind.
Doesn't a knight who has survived until now lose even his weapons and armor?
The other party is nothing more than a cavalryman who throws away his armor in order to survive, from the undead natural disaster to the present, what kind of person has he not seen in Da Suohan?
Now, this bastard even wants to come and put a knight's score in front of him Da Sohan? Perhaps, the other party still wants to mix back into the original position? Get the treatment corresponding to his original military rank and knighthood again? This bastard must be overthinking, right?
Anyway, his army will not accept this kind of person anymore, even if in the future, if the generalissimo wants to recruit a large number of soldiers, I am afraid that such a person can only start from a small soldier honestly.
"Nope! Lord Da Sohan! I didn't! ”
Hearing that the commander imagined himself as a deserter, Will was in a hurry, and at once he broke free from the two guards, threw himself on the ground and half-knelt again, and began to argue.
"Originally, my armor, my weapons, and even my war horse are still there! Now I'm like this, and that's because of a traitor! A traitor to the kingdom of Lordaeron! It was the infantry lieutenant named John, who squeezed out the superiors, colluded with the fire demon to confiscate my weapons, robbed me of my armor, weapons and military horses, and forced me to go to the lumberyard to work as coolies for them! ”
"Your Excellency Dassault Suohan! Trust me! I'm definitely not a deserter who has lost my armor! By no means! I've slain countless undead, I've shed blood for the kingdom of Lordaeron, I've saved a dozen refugees on my own when I'm still in danger, and I'm still ......"
“……”
Seeing this unkempt man say this, the two guards glanced at each other, and then looked at the commander Da Sohan together, they wanted to make sure, now do they want to continue to blast this person out?
"Okay, stop! I'll take it back for now. But...... I don't want to ask about the grievances between you and Warden John, and I won't ask about it, you... Do you understand? ”
After seeing the other party nodding stunnedly, Da Sohan continued to speak.
"Very well, then, Will Knight, are you going to be back in the team now? If that's the case, we can provide you with new armor weapons and horses, but you have to start as a normal cavalryman, would you? ”
Da Sohan is not stupid, from the other party's words, he can basically be sure that this Will Knight, the reason why he is like this now is nothing more than the end of the two opponents who have become losers after the other two compete for power and profit, and he has seen a lot of this kind of.
Think about it, after all, that John veteran has the support of the fire elementals, and it is normal for this Will knight to fight the other party. Besides, no matter when, without power, there is no voice! If you can't compare your fists to others, you deserve to be bullied!
For these bullshit things, Da Sohan didn't want to care, and he didn't dare to care.
Now the Flame Canyon is the territory of the fire elementals, and everything is decided by their fire elementals! He wasn't stupid enough to get himself into trouble for the sake of this obviously loser, Will Knight.
If it weren't for the fact that this was a special period, and it was before the outbreak of the Undead Disaster, he Da Suohan probably wouldn't have accepted this kind of cavalry officer who was thinking about fighting for power all day long, which would only add trouble to his troops!
It's just that now under the ravages of the undead natural disaster, the military power of the Lordaeron Kingdom is already very weak. And now this Will in front of him, if he is really a knight, should have a wealth of combat experience. Like this, a veteran cavalryman who puts on armor and can take up arms and fight directly in the ranks can still be reluctantly accepted. After all, in such a difficult period now, it is too difficult to slowly train a qualified cavalryman.
"Yes! Obey the order! ”
Seeing that Commander Da Sohan finally agreed and agreed to accept him, Will didn't think about it, and quickly nodded his head in response.
In any case, it is better to be an ordinary cavalryman than to go back to work as a laborer or a refugee!
Anyway, as a noble knight, he never wanted to work in a place like a lumberyard again! It doesn't matter if you don't have enough to eat, even if you don't eat well, there are almost never enough jobs to do, and trees that you can't cut down!
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many undead outside the canyon, he would have wanted to run away a long time ago, and the combat skills he learned were used to kill the enemy in battle, instead of holding an axe to chop down trees!
"Okay, if there is nothing else to do, you can go out now, and the two of them will take you to a simple test, and as long as you pass, you can receive the weapons, armor, and horses I just mentioned, and become a member of my cavalry. If you can't get through it...... Then you might consider signing up as a brave infantryman. ”
After Da Sohan finished speaking, he waved his hand, meaning that he could get out of here, don't be annoyed by watching here.
"What? Is there anything else you can do? Will... Knight? ”
Seeing that the other party was still holding on, Da Sohan began to show a little displeasure on his face.
"Your Excellency, I would now like to introduce you to a person, a powerful priest! Moreover, as far as I can observe, he is at least a powerful presence at the level of a bishop! ”
Now that he was about to successfully mix up another glorious cavalryman, Will didn't say a word, and was ready to start planning to make meritorious contributions. If you recommend a strong priest to Da Sohan, even if you can't be promoted immediately, you can always improve your salary and leave a deep impression on the commander's psychology, right? After that, wouldn't it be natural to mix up a little more qualifications and return to your original position and rank?
Knight Will was very impressed by the two mysterious priests and daughters who came to the camp not long ago, and he had been paying attention and observing for a long time!
The opponent's incomparable power of holy light is strong enough to save a farmer who was smashed to the brink of death by a fallen giant tree! The well-informed Will, as a quasi-nobleman, saw the approximate strength of the other party at a glance, and a level of holy light like that was definitely not something that ordinary small characters could summon.
"Bishop-level priest?! Will Knight, are you sure you're not kidding? ”
Da Sohan's expression began to become serious, he knew very well what role a bishop-level priest could play. Whether it's banishing evil, healing the wounded, boosting morale, or baptizing Paladin Apprentices, and more, this powerful priest who embraces the Light can make a huge difference!
Especially in the special period when the undead natural disaster is raging, in the current Lordaeron Kingdom, a powerful priest has an incomparably important position!
However, how many bishopric priests are there in the Church of Light? They are numbered in the entire kingdom of Lordaeron. Up to now, who is dead and who is still alive, as the commander-in-chief of the Silver Hand, Da Sohan knows very well in his heart, how can there be another bishop-level priest here? This made him a little incredulous, and although he was willing to believe that it was true, he subconsciously felt a little unlikely.
"Your Excellency, I have seen him cast spells with my own eyes, and that level of holy light cannot be faked. I dare to vouch for you here with my knighthood and honor, I am sure that the other party is definitely a powerful priest at the level of bishop! ”
Seeing the other party's reaction and attitude, Will was overjoyed.
Sure enough, he just got the bet right! Looking at the importance of this Commander Da Sohan in front of him, he knew that he was definitely about to make a great contribution! There is nothing better or cheaper to sell that strange father and daughter to the chief as his own promotion, and he can get benefits with his mouth.
……
Lordaeron, now in the capital of this former kingdom, in addition to a large number of undead, there are now many more demons of all kinds, this is after the destruction of Dalaran, in the past few days, Akmund summoned the demons of the Burning Legion summoned by several Dreadlords.
Throughout this time, Akmund never imagined that he would be able to conquer the world of Azeroth with just those skeletons. So, now that he had personally descended into this world, he had quickly opened the Legion's portal, and the Polluters preferred to believe in their own invincible Burning Legion rather than the skeletons and zombies that he thought were useless except in numbers!
Well..., actually, since 10,000 years ago, in that ancient war, he and Sargeras planted a big heel in this world, the Burning Legion is no longer invincible...... It was a stain of shame, and he Akmund swore that he would conquer the world and wash away this defeat once and for all!
"Tikdios, are you sure that the orcs ...... from Draenor have all fled to the continent to the west?"
In a legion-forging camp outside the city of Lordaeron, the tall Akmund looked at the leader of the Nasrezm clan lying at his feet, and before he Akmund came, all the affairs of Azeroth were in charge of this little bug, so now the only way to ask for relevant information is to find this bug.
"Yes! The great Lord Akmund, the small one has received accurate information, and many human inhabitants of the northern continent of the eastern kingdom have also fled to the western continent called Kalimdor, including those orcs! ”
The Dreadlord Tikdios trembled and lay on the ground, and now Lord Akmund was angry, and he could only wait carefully, for fear of accidentally touching the moldy head.
Because, just now they got the news that Banazal, who was in charge of military affairs on Stratholme's side, died inexplicably, and died completely, his body and soul were burned by people, and he didn't even have a chance to be resurrected in the twisted void! Because of this, Lord Akmund is still angry!
"Excellent! So... Maloneos, you will lead a part of the vanguard of the legion first, and immediately teleport to Kalimdor, what do you need to do, I think, you yourself should know very well? ”
After confirming the information, Akmund looked at a huge Burning Legion Demon Lord on the other side, it was like a giant four-hoofed dragonman, that is: Manolos the Destroyer, Lord of the Abyss Demon! The Polluter's right-hand men of Akmund have conquered countless worlds with the Polluter!
Manolos is a violent demon full of desire for destruction in his heart, its blood has an unparalleled amount of violent force, and it is because of drinking its blood that the original orc tribe will have such a powerful bloodthirsty desire for destruction, and it has become extremely powerful, almost becoming a nightmare for the original Lordaeron Alliance army!
Manolos has a strong interest in hatred and killing, as the head of the three major lords of the Abyss Demons, and one of the high-ranking leaders of the Burning Legion, as a loyal servant of the demon lord Akmund, he has always served as the general of the Burning Legion's invasion of the vanguard legion, and this invasion of the world of Azeroth is no exception.
Now, after getting the whereabouts of those orcs, Akmund immediately issued a mission, asking him to lead the demons to teleport to Kalimdor first, and prepare for the landing of the subsequent demon army.
"Yes! My great host! Manolos will crush all the obstacles that stand in your way! ”
Manolos stepped forward and roared angrily before heading out, he needed to pick a handful of elite demons to serve as the vanguard, and then let the damned Ereda wizards teleport them to Kalimdor first.
And then ...... Before we get the army of the Burning Legion together, I'm going to take a look to the east...... Look at the Flame Queen who killed Banazar and her Flame Kingdom...... I want to see, what is she capable of? And also... Will those fire creatures satisfy me? Hehehe......"
Akmund was still a little interested in the existence of the little bug that could easily kill Banazal.
However, he was more interested in the other party's Flame Kingdom, which was said to have many powerful fire elemental armies! Now, his own Burning Legion has just arrived, and it is a time when there is a shortage of troops.
If... If you can take down the opponent's powerful fire elemental army, it may be a good help! After all, on Kalimdo's side, there will definitely still be resistance. He still remembers the war 10,000 years ago, and now that he has discovered the new Well of Eternity, then he Akmund must take it, draw its power, and then ...... Become a powerful being like Sargeras!
