As soon as the man's words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

This move is really ruthless enough, not only to the enemy, but even more ruthless to yourself.

But don't say that if you look at the current situation and historical trajectory, this plan should be considered the best choice for the time being.

At least that's what Murphy thought, and he looked intently to see that it was Dalaran's envoy, Kel'thugad.

It turned out to be him, no wonder, Mo Fei thought to himself, it is estimated that only this one can come up with such a ruthless trick.

The eyes of the others were also somewhat strange when they looked at Kel'thugad.

The middle-aged uncle had an indifferent look on his face, and he didn't seem to feel anything about the amazing move in his plan.

This bold remark suddenly made King Lane's face look ugly.

Abandoning one's own land, burning one's capital, and fleeing to another country, what a king can do?

Ryan (Stormwind King): "Enough, my ancestors left us the inheritance of the kingdom, this land was bought by my ancestors with their blood and lives, as a member of the Stormwind Royalty, I must protect my land, my people, and no matter what happens, I will live and die with this city." ”

Kel'thugad seemed to have anticipated King Lane's reaction, but smiled disdainfully, not saying anything.

Ryan (Stormwind King): "Abandoning the country and running away is definitely not considered, so please continue the discussion. ”

Someone else proposed, "Immediately ask the countries of the alliance for help, ask for reinforcements, the alliance will gather a large army, and it will take at least a few months to come to the rescue, but if you only send a small group of elites, you can arrive quickly." ”

This proposal is also the meaning of the question, although it is impossible for a small elite to turn the tide of the war, but it can show the attitude of various countries, and having reinforcements can at least be exciting, and the more the army, the better.

King Ryan nodded, "This plan is very good, immediately send envoys to ask for support from various countries." ”

Kul Tiras's envoy suddenly said, "Kul Tiras has decided to send a fleet to support, and it will arrive in ten days. ”

It occurred to Murphy that he had a fleet anchored in King's Harbor.

He raised his hand, "Alterac's fleet is also willing to be on standby. ”

Varian gave Murphy a grateful look.

The navy, although useful, could not go ashore, and apparently this did not solve the problem.

King Lane also nodded: "Thank you for the generosity of the two princes, in this time of crisis, only by uniting as one, can the alliance overcome this crisis." ”

Another person proposed, "If the orcs want to attack Stormwind City, they must transport siege weapons to the city before they can attack the city, and the enemy's million-strong army, not all of them are elite, we should send elite cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's march to slow down the enemy's advance." ”

King Ryan nodded: "This is also necessary, when the Duke of Lothar returns, let him lead the Storm Knights to attack, and then recruit adventurers to join the raid team, as long as I can destroy the orcs, I will not hesitate to give a reward." ”

"The militia should be recruited as much as possible, the militia in positional warfare is not very useful, but if you rely on the walls to fight a defensive war, the militia can still play some use."

Ryan (Stormwind King): "Berval, I have appointed you as the commander of the militia, and immediately after the meeting, the militia will be recruited and trained in the kingdom. ”

After some discussion, everyone really discussed some effective strategies.

Although none of them can completely reverse the situation, at least they can give some effective strategies for the next war.

However, the million-strong army of orcs still weighed down on everyone's hearts like an insurmountable mountain, and no one could think of a way to fight such a powerful legion.

The military meeting ended quickly, time was pressing, and there was not so much time to waste.

Without any hesitation, King Ryan immediately sent the Duke of Lothar to lead the Storm Knights to attack.

The mighty Storm Knight is extremely mobile and can easily destroy lone orc troops.

At the same time, infantry was sent to build offices near the bridges of several rivers to delay the attack of the orcs as much as possible, and at the same time Bervar was sent to gather the prime men of the country......

Murphy, Varian, and Arthas went to a room to discuss it alone.

Varian looked a little frustrated.

Varian (Prince of the Storm): "Big brother, third brother, I'm afraid this war will not end anytime soon, and I hope you can support me for the crisis facing the Stormwind Kingdom." ”

Aidan (Prince Alterac): "Saving people and losing land, people and land, saving land and losing people, people and land, as long as the people of the Stormwind Kingdom are still there, the Stormwind Kingdom will not perish, second brother, I think you can consider the plan of Master Kel'thugad." ”

Arthas (Prince Lordaeron): "Yes, second brother, Master Kel'thugad is very wise, and there should be some truth in his words. ”

Varian shook his head, "It's useless, although my father has a generous personality, he attaches great importance to the foundation of the kingdom and the glory of the king, and he will never do such a thing as giving up the kingdom." ”

There is one sentence he didn't say, that is, he can't do it, what a shame it is for a royal family to give up his kingdom, and the onlookers can naturally easily say such a suggestion, but in the game, how can it be so easy to do.

However, he also knew that it was a bit unrealistic to fight against the orcs with the power of the Storm Kingdom now, and he originally pinned his hopes on the adventurers, but now it seems that it is not so easy to win by the adventurers alone.

He didn't know that adventurers had already appeared on the tribe's side, and in time, the adventurers of the tribe would also grow, and it would be even more difficult to rely on adventurers to win the war.

If things do get to that point of peril, it's time to start planning ahead.

"Big brother, although such a thing as abandoning the kingdom must not be done at the moment, I hope that you can ask your fleet to help me transport some civilians to the north for refuge, and at the same time send reinforcements, food, and ordnance to Stormwind City, in the next war, Stormwind City will become a powerful fortress against the orcs, and the population without combat power must be reduced as much as possible."

Murphy nodded, "No problem, are we brothers, I will help both public and private, don't despair Varian, we will definitely defeat those orcs in the end." ”

"Second brother, I may have a way to defeat the orcs." Arthas said with a sudden hesitation.

Varian was a little surprised, "What way?" ”

"To fight against the orcs, you must have a large army, our biggest problem now is that the number of troops is too small, Master Kel'thugad once mentioned to me a magical magic, this magic can resurrect the dead, form an army of the undead, if this magic can be popularized, maybe it can turn the tide of the ......"

Varian's eyes lit up, "Then what are you waiting for, please ask Master Kel'thugad to come over." ”

Five minutes later—

After hearing Varian's intentions, Kel'thugad nodded silently.

Kel'thugad (Archmage Dalaran): "I do master a new kind of magic, possessing an extremely powerful power to resurrect the dead and create powerful undead creatures, which, if mastered, can even turn the war around.

I call it spiritism, but the use of psychic magic touches many things that are forbidden in the eyes of the world, so it has not been popularized, and Dalaran even strictly forbade the study and use of this magic, and those short-sighted pedantics are bound by tradition and do not dare or want to try this new thing, this fascinating power.

Prince Varian, if you are willing to sponsor me and help me establish a psychic academy in the Kingdom of Stormwind, I am willing to pass on this fascinating art to the world, and when the time comes, an army of the undead will join you, a true army of the undead......

Think about it, spiritism can resurrect the dead and make them get back on their feet and continue fighting, and the upcoming war between the Alliance and the Horde will inevitably give birth to tens of thousands of corpses, and if these dead can be used, it can undoubtedly serve the purpose of changing the tide of war. ”

Varian was surprised when he heard this, "Spiritism is really so powerful?" ”

Kel'thugad nodded: "Theoretically, it is true, but to resurrect the dead requires strong mana, to resurrect tens of thousands of undead, it takes a large number of necromancers, I can only say that this kind of magic has this potential." ”

"Can you show me that?"

"Of course, but this kind of magic is considered taboo by Dalaran, and it is easy to cause panic for ordinary people, so it is better not to be seen, and I need a few corpses as a carrier for casting spells."

"No problem, I know a place that meets the master's requirements."

Half an hour later, the four of them arrived in a deserted cemetery outside Stormwind.

This is an unnamed cemetery, where all the nameless dead are buried, and the bones of no one are buried here.

Since the burials were all unclaimed corpses, no one usually came to pay respects to the deceased, but every once in a while, a burying person would bring in a new nameless corpse for burial.

The dead cemetery was littered with dilapidated tombs and nameless tombstones, and some coffins that were not too deep were dragged out of the graves by wild dogs, scattered all over the ground.

Arthas was visibly a little nervous about this eerie place, uneasily touching the hilt of Fire's happy sword.

Varian was unconcerned about the gloomy surroundings.

He even took the initiative and easily exhumed a few corpses from the tomb.

"Master Kel'thugad, please."

Kel'thugad nodded, and expertly cast psychic magic on a corpse that had not yet decomposed, which was supposed to be a robber in his lifetime, with obvious sword wounds on his body, a wound that pierced his heart, and the wound was already covered with maggots.

Resurrect the corpse!

The dead man's eyes opened suddenly, and a faint blue light appeared in his rolled eyes, and he staggered up from the coffin, and his mouth made a terrifying sound.

The Walking Dead (Undead): Level 3.

Varian walked around the corpse twice, and suddenly a sword swung out, and the corpse fell in response.

Varian suddenly showed a disappointed expression, "This is too weak." ”

Kel'thugad nodded, "It's weak, but it's only the most superficial application of spiritism, and I'm going to show you some of the more advanced techniques, and in between that I have to warn you that there may be some gore in the next picture." ”

Varian said: "Don't worry, Master Kel'thugad, I have traveled all over the world and seen many terrible sights, so do it." ”

It was Arthas, who quietly took a step back and hid behind Murphy.

Kel'thugad raised his staff, and the light of magic flashed on the staff.

Summon skeletons!

Burst! The corpse exploded in an instant, and from the shattered flesh and blood, a miserable white skeleton warrior rose with a rusty sword in his hand, and he didn't know where it came from.

Skeleton Warrior (Undead): Level 18.

Varian's eyes lit up, and the thing finally had some momentum.

The bloody images didn't affect his mood.

"Let it attack me, I want to see the strength of this skeleton warrior."

With a wave of his hand, the skeleton warrior immediately lunged at Varian, slashing at the rusty sword in his hand.

With two clicks of the bell and a backhand sword, the skeleton warrior was once again slashed to the ground, reduced to a pile of bone fragments.

Varian frowned, I have to say, it's still a little weak, it's a little worse than ordinary soldiers, it's probably on par with the militia, but it's some combat effectiveness.

But just rely on this fragile skeleton to fight the orcs? I don't think there's a chance.

Those orcs are all five big and three thick, full of brute force, bloodthirsty and furious, these skeletons have no chance of winning at all, unless they have an absolute numerical advantage.

"Are there even more powerful undead?"

"Of course, this is just the beginning, get ready Prince Varian, I'm going to start a new show."

Kel'thugad raised his staff, this time with noticeably more serious casting.

Summon ghouls!

This time, the target was the corpse of another young male, and as a magic force was injected into the body, the corpse suddenly twitched, black hair grew on its body, bones made a rattling sound, muscles began to expand and mutate, eyes bulged, and palms turned into claws.

It moved slowly, as if it were walking on all fours.

Ghoul (Undead): Level 28.

Varian's eyes froze, the monster in front of him was obviously dangerous, and he could even feel a threat.

"Let it attack me."

"Watch out, Prince Varian."

The ghoul pounced on Varian like a beast, Varian didn't kill immediately, parryed, counterattacked, he tried his best to find out the ghoul's combat power, two or three rounds later, with a sword, the ghoul was cut in half.

To Varian's surprise, the remaining half-body ghoul was still trying to attack him.

Varian slashed with his sword and took out the ghoul once and for all.

Yes, this thing has some intelligence, although it is not high, but it should not be much different from the orcs, there are some skills in combat, and it is as fierce as a crazy beast.

If there are enough of them, they will be able to confront the orcs head-on.

"Master Kel'thugad, can you create this monster on a large scale? If the Alliance and the Horde are at war, there will be countless corpses, and if they can resurrect the ghouls of the city, then ......"

"I'm afraid it's not that easy, Prince Varian, creating ghouls is a profound spiritism, I can create dozens, even hundreds, of ghouls at once, but that's all."

"Hundreds of ghouls can't be reversed, you say you want to build a psychic academy? So how long does it take to train a qualified psychic? ”

"It may take months, even years, but Prince Varian, if you have the right magic items, or even artifacts, you can increase your mana and even create even more powerful undead.

I've seen something similar in ancient texts, where it is said that in the distant continent of Northrend, in the frosty wasteland, hidden in the frosty wasteland, lies a magical rune crown, an ancient artifact known as the Crown of Domination, which is said to be the creation of the Grim Reaper, and that whoever wears this crown will have infinite wisdom and power to rule the world of the dead.

It may just be a legend, but I guess there's always a source for any legend. ”

After saying that, Kel'thugad looked at Varian with blazing eyes, as if with some kind of anticipation.
