Hillsbrad is a treasure trove of quiet towns full of barns, vast pastures with cows and sheep, woodlands with endless wild game, and cave deposits of gold, silver, copper and iron.

In addition to historical reasons, Alterac obtained this land, and another important reason is that the people are strong. The highlands of the Alterac people here do not farm, they love to hunt, not only hunting animals but also hunting people often.

The terrain of this land is not complicated by the fact that there are endless plains and extremely vast hills.

What I mean by this is to start a formal war with the orcs in this kind of place, there is no dangerous terrain, there is no moat to defend, there is no way to hide, there is no way to avoid it. Once the war starts, it is very likely to be a decisive battle between you and the dead, and it is the kind that determines the outcome of the first battle.

At that time, the orcs landed in Nanhai Town one after another, but strangely, fortunately, they were not in a hurry to go directly inland.

Half a month had passed since the end of the Battle of Dunhold, and reinforcements from Lordaeron and Alterac had arrived one after another.

The more people there are, the more problems it brings. People eat and chew horses are expenses, and every day when you open your eyes, you have to think about the various consumption of these tens of thousands of people.

If a person wants to fight, he can't eat too badly, but a large number of tens of thousands of troops can be used to farm at home, and although they consume, they are also producing.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, sent by Terenus, stood by and watched us every day with his books, and the little eyes of that guy really matched his profession. He didn't leave every day after reporting to Lothar, staring at us with eyes that he couldn't even open.

And if he was the only one, maybe there would be less trouble, and the civilian staff sent by Terenus directly filled the trouble value.

The group of staff officers who chattered every day arrived as fast as they could after the news of the loss of Nanhai Town was delivered to Lordaeron. There was nothing unusual on Lothar's face, and he was as calm as ever, serious and efficient in his work. It's just that after the group of guys arrived, the atmosphere of the entire barracks changed.

Everyone knew that those men were close associates of Terenus, and they were sent to oversee the battle. Therefore, the small report will definitely not be less. I feel irritated when I think about it. I hate being. Especially in this way. For me...... That's an insult.

On the fourth day after the elves arrived, that is, on the day when the news of the landing of reinforcements officially sent by the elven king ,,, landed in the kingdom of Stormgard, our finance minister Guterres finally spoke.

This kind of rich person with a pair of piercing eyes on his face will bring trouble as soon as he speaks. It's generally not good for this kind of person to open his mouth, it's either money or food. And in this place, he does not ask us for money, but he asks us for his life.

Sure enough, he said that this month's military spending has already been exceeded, whoa, whoa, whoa...... A bunch of questions. The last thing he said was very clear, His Majesty Oden Pirenod, King of the Kingdom of Alterac, had written to King Terenas several times, and he wondered if the consumption of food and money would be reduced by thirty percent for the next month, or if the army remained stationed, or could be helped by Lordaeron to bear a little more.

After saying the above, Lothar immediately called the generals to a military meeting, and the atmosphere at that time was not harmonious at all, the generals of Alterac knew that their country was probably acting as the head of the wrongs, and the Gilnesians who watched the play could hide. There was not a single positive indication in the whole process. It's like this battle, it's okay to fight, it's okay not to fight, if you want to fight them, you will follow, if you don't fight them, you will go home, he will follow when you eat, and you won't have any money.

And although the elves don't need money when they come here, the elves eat much more carefully than our soldiers. Although it is not to the extent of eating rice and eating rice cores, the cost of their 400 people on food is higher than that of our two infantry regiments.

Seeing that the room full of people was still detached at this time, I even had the idea of letting the orcs clean up their group of selfish guys.

Finally, Lothar gave the order to prepare today, and the whole army will be ready at dawn tomorrow morning.

There was chaos in the camp again, and I was a little worried about the atmosphere.

The generals with crooked mouths and lifeless faces did not pull their hips when they gathered the next day, and I looked at the way some of them looked, and I really wanted to grab a few of them and cut off their heads to sacrifice the flag.

Aurelia and her team set off before dawn, not sure if they were unhappy with yesterday's meeting or if they just liked it.

We're an alliance, but the elves don't want to let our alliance take care of it. In Reggie's words, being able to come is already giving face.

Starting from Talunmir, tens of thousands of people marched in the direction of Nanhai Town, and more than a dozen of the original sixty people of the Holy Knights were now able to summon the Holy Light.

One of them you won't believe.

She's ...... Yes, it's her. Not him. A woman.

She was the Lady of the Duke of Vortagen...... Ms. Mara Fotagen.

The war has caused most of the women to walk away, but Lady Vortagen is a warrior and Stormwind has not yet fallen...... When their territory was attacked by orcs, she began to put on the battle. That woman is not simple, although not so approachable, but the contributions she has made have not been found in the history of the Stormwind Kingdom There are few women as outstanding as her.

There are a few more, and there is a guy named Dagren who is simply ...... after breaking through himself It is not an exaggeration to describe it as arrogant. I don't really like the kind of guy who screams and screams, not that it's unstable or anything, but it's not pleasing to the eye.

There is a guy in the Royal Knights of Lordaeron who is trusted by the king and is known as the King's Shield, and that guy is okay. He has a pretty good relationship with Mograine, but our Lord Mograine is a Holy Light Insulator just like me. But it doesn't prevent him from becoming a member of the paladins, not that he has much to do with it, this guy's combat skills, stamina, and perseverance are remarkable in all aspects, and he is quite not afraid of death.

The army did not rush to march, and a large number of scouts were scattered to ensure the safety of the large force.

But on the third day after the expulsion, less than fifty kilometers from the town of Nanhai, we received urgent news that a group of trolls had appeared in the forest east of Dunhold.

When I heard the news, I thought to myself, it's definitely not a good thing to have trolls at this time. But their presence near Dunhold doesn't seem to have much of an impact on us.

I asked Lothar what to do, and he said that he had sent a letter to General Haas and Kerr, the garrison of the Great Wall of Soladin, and he told General Haas and General Kerr to take care of the group, or simply eliminate them.

It is only a day's distance from Nanhai Town, and the terrain of our place at this time is the most advantageous for us, whether it is an ambush woods or a grassland suitable for rushing and killing, and more importantly, we are above, this slope can be said to be simply great for our cavalry! All I can say is fantastic.

If the orcs landed and headed west, our army would probably be very tired, but the orcs didn't make any more moves after occupying the town of Nanhai. I was both amazed and pleased by their behavior.

I found Lothar during the break, and he was still discussing the next offensive with a few generals. I listened to the meeting, and I basically agreed with the offensive strategy proposed by Admiral Mandel.

He said that Nanhai Town was high on three sides and low on the other, facing the sea, and it seemed that besieging the town was simple, and it was good to rush down, but the terrain outside Nanhai Town was not suitable for cavalry charges. Without a cavalry charge, when the breakthrough point is the infantry, the casualties may be very large, and once they enter the street battle, it is even more difficult to say who will kill the deer in the end.

His advice was to lure the enemy out and break through gradually.

Because the scout brought back the news that the number of orcs in the town is still increasing, and there are still many ships coming from the sea. And now the number of orcs in the town is estimated to be more than twenty thousand.

I'm curious where the Kurtilas army has gone, and if it was all wiped out in a naval battle? Are they just letting the orcs pass through the sea now?

Although we have more than twice as many soldiers, Admiral Mandel is still cautious. I think his advice is quite reliable.

Several generals and commanders from Lordaeron were unfamiliar with the terrain and did not interject, and Lothar agreed to Admiral Mandel's suggestion. But how to lure the enemy to attack next, and where to fight? What else will arise becomes a new question.

The question of the need for someone to be used as a decoy for a feint was also raised, as strategy and tactics were discussed first, although after a brief silence Lothar put the issue aside for the time being. But the expressions on the faces of the people present were clear, although they didn't say anything.

While listening to them talk about what to do next, I deserted, this job is really not a good job, you have to attract them, it is better to do some damage, the bigger the better, and then seduce them, and you have to get out of the way, and finally lead them to the ambush site. This is particularly troublesome just to listen to.

The Silver Hand would never do such a thing, and neither would the Lordaeron Knights. Although the infantry sent by Lordaeron was the majority, I felt that the people who could do it would have to be from Alterac in the end.

Their discussion lasted more than two hours, after which Lothar ordered the camp to be set up on the spot.

I didn't participate in their discussions, I didn't have the habit of brushing up on the sense of existence, I wasn't good at strategizing like those generals, I couldn't even play chess, I didn't see more than three moves, how could I have the brain, intelligence, and command thousands of troops?

Although I didn't have as many brains as them strategically, I ended up doing this unfortunate job...... It seems that there is no more suitable person than me.
