Chapter Eighty-Three: A Dilemma

The central route of the Scourge to attack Quel'Thalas can be seen as basically a straight line. The starting point is the frontier town of Dessom in Quel'Thalas, and then it continues north through the entire Quel'Thalas, cone through the Eversong Forest, and reaches Silvermoon City and Sunchase Island.

The undead plague carried by the Scourge Legion has left an indelible trace on this straight line. The undead plague wiped out life in its path, withered vegetation, and infiltrated viruses deep into the subsoil. Looking down from the sky, a black road several kilometers wide spreads into the depths of the Yongge Forest. The current Elven survivors of Quel'Thalas also refer to this Scourge Legion's route as the Death Scars.

Taquielin is a small elven village of Quel'Salas, located on the edge of the Eternal Song Forest, and by the time the Red Dragon and Griffin Knights rescued the village's elven civilians, there were less than a dozen living people left in the village. The reason for this is the importance of the village's geographical location, which overlooks the death scars of the plains below, holding the central route of the Scourge Legion's march.

Taquelin, who was already empty, now has a group of uninvited guests. On the hillside, a slender woman in a black leather suit with short ear-length hair was holding a monocular and looking into the distance.

"Luth, as you guessed, Old K's team chose the ground route. It seems that that this time, Old K really used Deathwing for a short time, and now he doesn't dare to fly in the air corridor anymore. Elise looked at the telescope and said coldly.

In the telescope lens, a team of heavily armed elves hurried towards the Eternal Song Forest along the left side of the Death Scar, led by Max and Serna.

"Have you seen Old K?" Lut walked up from behind with a solemn face.

"I didn't see Old K, but it's not surprising, he has stealth ability, and this telescope of mine doesn't have a stealth effect!" Elise spread her hands helplessly, "Maybe Old K was afraid that Deathwing would target this elf team, so he didn't show up!" ”

"Old K's two members are here, it's impossible for him not to come along!" Behind the two came a rugged bald man, "My brother has been keeping an eye on the Chapel of Light's Wish, and he confirmed on the team channel that Old K hasn't been in the Chapel or Death Rift for several days. ”

"Ruhl, who told you to come up!" Elise frowned and shouted coldly.

"Hey, Sister Elise, the brothers have been following them from the Quel'Salas border for almost a week, aren't they impatient? Let me come up and ask when exactly will I do it? The bald man Ruhr said with a sneer as he crossed his arms over his shoulders.

Ruhl is the current MT of the Black Widow team, and although he has not reached the second order, he is only one step away from the second order. In addition to Black Widow Elise and Black-Eyed Ruth, he is the third person on the team.

"Ruhl, tell the brothers that before entering the Yongge Forest, we will do it, let everyone prepare!" Luth's eyes flashed, and he smiled gently.

"Hmph, I hope this time, you won't make another mistake!" Ruhl snorted coldly in his nostrils, turned his head and walked down the hill, muttering with a big grin in his mouth, "What a bullshit chief thinker of the Temple of the Gods, isn't that ......"

"You ......" Elise's eyes burst into cold light, and she was about to scold Ruhr, but was pulled by Ruth next to her.

"Elise, you can't touch him now!" Ruth sighed, shook his head at her, and whispered.

“…… But if this continues, the team will be scattered! Elise gritted her teeth with a bruise on her forehead.

"If they can't beat the old K this time, do you think they will continue to stay on this team?" Lute smiled bitterly and said very directly.

"This time...... You...... Are you sure? Even though she knew that any questioning of Ruth now would be hurtful, Elise couldn't help but ask.

"......" Lut calmly looked at the elven team in the distance and did not speak, he knew that saying anything now would not have an effect. Because he was in front of the team members, the layout of the old K group had failed twice, and both times the team paid a heavy price.

Luth's first failure, of course, was the use of Duke Serenhof to snipe the old K-regiment. Although that defeat was a big blow to the morale of the Black Widow team, in reality, Ruth himself was not convinced.

Black-eyed Lut felt that his strategic layout was not wrong, and it was only an accidental factor that Lao K was able to defeat him. Deathwing, a tactical surprise soldier, can never be repeated, and the old K regiment has not actually gotten rid of its strategic disadvantage.

Therefore, when he sensed that there was a dejected atmosphere within the Black Widow team, and out of dissatisfaction with Old K, Lut made a move that was generally considered a ruin by the wise. He swore to all the members of the regiment that the old K-group would definitely carry the last victory, follow the Scourge Legion, and look for fighters to destroy the Black Widow team, and they still have a lot of opportunities to set traps to eliminate the old K-group.

Ruth's prediction was based on two judgments. First, he thinks that since Lao K saw through his layout last time, then Lao K should also recognize his strategic wisdom. Therefore, it is unlikely that he will be released back to the superstring space with Deathwing, and let him deal with the old K-group again in the future.

Actually, Lute didn't guess wrong about this, Xu Mo was indeed very troubled to have such a strategic wise man as him, who had been poking in the back of the old K group. Even willing to give up a sub-legendary historical plot, they want to strangle him in the world of Azeroth.

Second, Lut still believes that the old K is a tactical wise man, and his advantage lies in planning specific battles. From the trap that lures them into Deathwing, Ruth is even more convinced of this. He didn't think that Lao K would give up this advantage and compete with him for strategic layout. In this case, following the Scourge Legion and using the powerful combat power of Deathwing to engage them in hand-to-hand combat is the best plan for the old K-Regiment.

At this point, Lut is fundamentally wrong. Xu Mo is actually not just a simple tactical wise man, he has also jumped out of the chess game to look at this battle of wits, and he will not fight against the Black Widow team on the battlefield where the Scourge Legion has the advantage.

From the perspective of the world of Azeroth, the Scourge Legion does have a strategic advantage, but from the perspective of the reincarnation, it is Xu Mo who has the advantage. If the Black Widow team had stayed with the Scourge Legion, he would have given up fighting them in Azeroth. Anyway, the old K regiment has won in the early stage, and when it returns to space, public opinion will be in favor of the old K regiment afterwards, and at most it will leave the trouble for later settlement.

Luth's prophecy really boosted the morale of the Black Widow team again, unsipping the huge shock caused by Deathwing, and allowing the team to quickly shake off the shadow of defeat. In order to allow Lut to set up a trap against the old K-Regiment, the Black Widow team maximized the prestige of the Scourge Legion, and they even influenced another new giant of the Scourge Legion, the Grand Lich Kel'thugad.

Kel'thugad learned exactly what Deathwing was doing for an Alliance mercenary, and he took it seriously. Even having a powerful group of Lich Mages secretly help the Black Widow team, providing them with a Shadow Binding Magic Circle at any time, able to trap Deathwing for a short period so that he can lead the other Lichs to help.

However, as time goes on, both Kel'thugad and the Black Widow team begin to discover that Ruth's prophecy has gone awry, and that the Old K-Regiments and Deathwing are nowhere to be seen for more than a month. And when the scattered undead on the battlefield arrived, and the red dragon and the dwarven griffin knight rescued the elven civilians in the elven village, Lut finally realized that he had made a major mistake in his judgment of the old K.

Old K is actually forming a plot force, intending to strategically regain the disadvantage over the Black Widow team. And judging from the timing of the Red Dragon and the Griffin Knight's rescue of the elven civilians, Lao K may have made this arrangement before entering the Plague Lands.

When Ruth realized this, he felt his face burn, as if he had been slapped in the face. What frightened him even more was that Lao K turned out to be not only a tactical wise man, but a rare, tactical and strategic genius compound wise man.

When the Scourge broke through the lines of the Scarlet Crusaders and the Silver Crusade and began to march on Dalaran, Kel'thugad finally lost patience and took back control of the Lich Mage, no longer focusing on the resistance of the Chapel of Light's Wish. Whether or not Deathwing will still appear is no longer of any significance to the Great Lich and the Scourge Legion.

As the Scourge enters the Plague Lands and heads west to Dalaran, Lut feels like he's being slapped in the face by Old K every day. The original prophecy has now become a laughing stock, and none of the members will believe that the old K-group will follow the Scourge Legion, looking for an opportunity to fight them.

This is also why Luth's prophecy is generally regarded as a shipbreaker by the wise men of the reincarnation team. For if the prophecy is not fulfilled, it will be a major blow to the prestige of the wise. The bigger the cowhide is blown, the more real it is to pretend to be B, and when it is broken, the harder the face will be slapped.

Out of distrust of Lut, the team's number three, MT Ruhr, instructed one of his closest Samsarinasms to infiltrate the Chapel of Light's Wish to provide them with an update on the old K-Regiment.

Ruhl's behavior is actually a betrayal, and no team of Samsarina will put people in the opponent's location because they want the hostile team's movements. The reason is also very simple, the reincarnation team is not an army, the manpower is limited, and the ability of the reincarnation is extremely special, in case the intelligence officer sent is discovered by the hostile team, it is almost equivalent to a meat bun beating a dog.

So why was Ruhl able to do this? It's very simple, except for Elise and Ruth, the members of the Black Widow team don't have much grudge against the old K-group. And the fact that Old K let go of the two people in the first battle also shows that Old K allows them to stand on the side of neutrals and watch this battle of the wise.

In fact, the reincarnation sent by the Ruhr gained a lot. Space was in the main quest 2 at the beginning of the world of Azeroth, showing that reincarnation can have the prestige of multiple factions, as long as it is not discovered by the characters in the story, then there is no problem. For example, when Xu Mo was in Grimbaatar, he cooperated with the Red Dragon's sworn enemy Deathwing, and Crassus couldn't do anything about him.

The reincarnation had benefited from the Death Rift, the Poison Woodland, and even the mission information to purify the Sunwell. However, because his reputation in the elven camp was too low, he was unable to join Prince Kael'thas team, and as for the old K-group, his courage has not yet grown to that point.

So, when the reincarnation sent back the information about the mission to purify the sunwell, the Black Widow team was in a dilemma. Obviously, the old K regiment had shown disdain for them, but now with this sub-legendary historical plot, everyone knows that it is impossible for them to follow the Scourge Legion to Dalaran again. In other words, Ruth's trap plan came to an end once and for all.

On the side of the Black Widow team, on the one hand, because of Luth's prophecy, they took over the late mission of the Scourge Legion to attack Dalaran, and once they broke away from the Scourge, the punishment would be very severe.

On the other hand, because of the failure of the two previous plans, the Scourge no longer trusts them, and their reputation has almost fallen to a low point. Without the help of the plot forces, the following tasks are very difficult, and it is even possible to fill in human lives.

In this case, Elise, the Black Widow, finally shows her decisiveness as the head of the regiment. She asked the members of the team to abandon the Scourge Legion, use the hole cards cultivated by the team in the early stage, follow the elf team of the old K regiment to purify the sunwell, and attack the opponent at the right time.

After thinking about it, the other members agreed, since there was no point in staying in the Scourge Legion any longer, it was a good idea to join in the fun of a sub-legendary plot before the time spent on it was exhausted. After all, every sub-legendary plot has a lot of benefits, and a little leakage is enough for them to recover the previous losses.

Lut neither agreed nor objected to Black Widow's proposal. In fact, he was in the same situation as the team, and he was in a dilemma.

On the one hand, Lute is very worried about the sub-legendary historical plot this time, and if he doesn't do it well, he will be used as bait by Lao K. Although the other members of the team believe that the old K team does not have the energy to deal with them when they are carrying out the sub-legendary plot, Lut has a vague feeling that the old K would rather give up this sub-legendary mission and will give priority to setting traps to deal with them.

On the other hand, Lut still has a certain amount of confidence in the hole cards he left behind. Although he no longer pursues killing Lao K, as long as he can destroy the sub-legendary plot of the old K group, let the team get a certain benefit and retreat. Then it should be said that they fought a draw with the old K group in Azeroth, and after returning to space, there is still room for strategic turnaround.

Thinking of this, Lut couldn't help but look behind the hill, where his final hole cards were gathered......
