Chapter 127: Fordin's Choice
"You're back!" Wearing the Lightbringer suit, holding the blue-purple crystal mine warhammer specially made for him by Will in his hand, and the white cloak with obvious traces of battle behind him, he swayed gently with the wind: "How was the harvest of the trip to the royal capital?" ”
The last time Fording returned to Wintertown to report his safety, David hadn't returned, and it was the first time he had reunited with David since he returned to Hearthvale to fight the Scourge Legion.
"Not bad." David and Furding sat down at the wooden table where they used to eat together, and chatted, "It's Winter Town now. ”
"In that case, you should be a nobleman of the Tiran Kingdom by now, right?"
"Baron, and got a Glamorgan surname."
"Baron David Glamorgan?" Fording muttered twice, "Sounds pretty good." ”
David smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to explain to Ferdin, how unlucky this surname was, so he could only change the subject and ask Ferdin's side about the situation.
"It's a lot better than I expected." Ferding pointed to himself: "You can tell from my state. ”
"yes, you look pretty good."
There was no such thing as a lack of energy and a lack of food due to the bad battle situation.
With Fordin's narration, David knew that the situation was not only much better than he had expected, but that when Fording knew the plot and made preparations in advance, the battle situation was basically developed according to the best situation he estimated.
After successfully avoiding the chaos of the plague outbreak and the subsequent invasion of the Scourge, Fordin successfully returned to the Hearthvale to take power, building a strong defensive front, and when the Scourge actually assembled, although the number of the Scourge was staggering, there was no way to pose a real threat to the Hearthvale under the suppression of countless artillery and guns.
The few Scourge soldiers who can survive the baptism of cannonballs will also be quickly wiped out by the paladins of the Silver Hand.
Combined with the increasing number of gunners and the improved Garand rifles, the Dwarven Musketeers in the walls of Hearthvale have once again greatly increased the defenses on the walls of Hearthvale. The Valley of the Hearthh has become the safest place in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and Ferdin's prestige in the Valley of the Hearth, and even in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, has returned to its peak.
As more Lordaeron refugees flee into the Valley of the Hearth, including the royal family of Lordaeron Galia Minethiel, Fording is already considering a counterattack against the Scourge Legion.
"Helicopters are being mass-produced at Ironforge." Ferding talked about the rest of the battle: "I'm going to wait until enough gunships are in Hearthvale before launching a counterattack against the Scourge Legion. With enough air force cooperation, the Scourge Legion can definitely be wiped out completely. ”
"Ah...... This ......"
Although in the original Warcraft plot, the dwarves sent flying troops and artillery units, and the dwarven musketeers are an important class of troops in the alliance, but it will definitely not be the way it is now.
According to Fordin's description, the current Confederate army in Hearthvale habitually ploughed the ground with artillery swarms after the battle, and then the paladins took the lead in cleaning up the battlefield......
The tactics are simple and crude, but they are especially effective against the Scourge Legion.
"What about Arthas?" With Ferdin's style of play, Arthas won't be killed by the heavy artillery of the Hearth Valley, right?
After hearing Arthas's name, Ferding shook his head helplessly: "This is also what I'm most worried about at the moment. ”
There is a world of transcendent individuals, and powerful individuals will have a very big impact on the battle situation, and the Kingdom of Lordaeron is still a relatively 'primitive' country, so it is very troublesome to move heavy artillery groups.
Therefore, Fordin's current brilliant results are created by relying on the Fireplace Valley defense line prepared by him in advance.
If you take the initiative, you will give up your greatest advantage, and if Arthas suddenly kills and makes a surprise attack on the remaining Knights of the Silver Hand, there is a high probability that the tide of the battle will be reversed.
Because the most terrifying thing about the Scourge's legion is that the more you fight, the more you have more troops, and the stronger you become!
A comrade who was fighting the Scourge with you one second may become a member of the Scourge Legion the next, waving his weapon at you.
In this case, even if you are as brave as Ferdin, you must be extremely cautious, for fear of making irreparable mistakes.
"So, you're waiting for the new gunship from Ironforge?"
"Yes."
In addition to this, Fording is also contacting the Hammer Dwarves to get their help, as the Hammer Dwarves have a flying combat class like the Griffin Knight.
"It sounds like everything is going well." After listening to Fordin's story, David felt that the situation in Azeroth was quite good, and according to the current state of development, the kingdom of Lordaeron would definitely not fall.
When the war is over, Tirio Fordin, who has made great achievements, will send Caria Minecil to the throne, and he will at least be able to mix up the role of regent himself.
Assisted by Fordin, a paladin with popularity, strength, and morality, it is not impossible for the Kingdom of Lordaeron to recover to its peak as long as it has a good rest.
After all, this round of the Scourge's rampant Legion has also caused enough harm to several kingdoms around the Lordaeron Kingdom, and the Lordaeron Kingdom will not have to worry about foreign invasion for a long time in the future.
For this human kingdom, the biggest trouble is that the land after the ravages of the Scourge Legion will become extremely barren, and the originally rich East Wilder will become a plague land, full of all kinds of mutated creatures.
"It's not all going well." Furding saw David's thoughts, and after talking about the things that were going well, he finally began to talk about the things that didn't go well: "I can only defend the Valley of the Hearth, protect more and more people of Lordaeron, and have no extra strength to rescue the others." ”
"So ......"
"I don't think Arthas has ever appeared on the battlefield in Hearthvale, and it's likely that he took some of the Scourge soldiers to attack Quel'Thalas."
After all, the sunwell of Quel'Salas is the most important target for Arthas at the moment.
Arthas, who was still only the Lich King's men, was ordered to capture the Sunwell and resurrect the Lich Kel'thugad, and when he was unable to attack the Hearthvale for a long time, leaving enough troops to continue attacking the Hearthvale, and taking the remaining troops to attack Quel'Thalas, was his only option.
"So, Arthas may be standing outside the Valley of the Hearth, waiting for you to rush out with your troops and launch a sneak attack; It is also possible to throw down the Valley of the Hearth and attack Quel'Salas directly. ”
The two men looked at each other for a few seconds, and David felt like he couldn't tell what Arthas was thinking at the moment.
But he sensed Fordin's dilemma: Fordin felt that Alsace could attack Quel'Thalas, but he couldn't bet on it.
Behind him is Lordaeron's last hope, and his duty is to protect these hopes of the kingdom of Lordaeron, not to take all his soldiers out of the Hearth Valley to rescue Quel'Thalas.
If Arthas is indeed attacking Quel'Thalas, then everything is easy to say, take advantage of the situation and have a front and back attack with the elves of Quel'Thalas.
But what if this is really a trap for Ferding and the humans in Hearthvale?
To put it bluntly, even if there is only a one percent chance of winning, Ferding can't afford to bet, not to mention that the probability is far from so low.
"I personally recommend...... Or continue to guard the Valley of the Hearth. David thought that this was the safest way to play, as long as he held the Valley of the Hearth, and with all kinds of equipment and reinforcements from other races in place, Ferding could steadily clear out the Scourge little by little.
This is a must-win game, especially if you know the rest of the story: after Arthas resurrected Kel'thugad, he will attack the mage city of Dalaran and then open the portal to meet Akmund.
After Acmund descended on Azeroth, Arthas and the Scourge were left aside, followed by an internal struggle between the Burning Legion and the Scourge Legion, and the heroes of several races of Azeroth joining forces against the Burning Legion.
At that time, it was the best time for Fording to launch a counterattack.
As for Quel'Thalas and Dalaran...... Fordin is the Lord of the Hearth Valley, a nobleman of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, not the Lord of Quel'Salas or Dalaran.
"yes, it's a sound choice, but is it really the right choice?" For the first time today, Tirio Fording showed his helplessness, as a paladin with a high sense of morality and honor, he felt that he had made a not so right choice.
Regardless of those additional factors, Tirio Fordin's character, knowing what Arthas was going to do, would surely rush in front of Arthas and kill the former Prince of Lordaeron, now the Kingkiller.
But did he do something wrong? There seems to be nothing wrong with it, and this kind of situation that is not right to choose makes him feel very uncomfortable.
Looking at Ferdin's uncomfortable expression, David thought for a few seconds, and finally said to him: "Actually, just do what you think." ”
"......" Tirio Ferding glanced at David a few times, making sure that the other party was not casually comforting him, but really showing his support: "I thought you would persuade me a few words. ”
David was dumbfounded, feeling that Ferdin's return to Winter Town this time was to persuade him a few words to make his idea of defending Hearthdale more determined, rather than running out to fight Arthas to the death, and gambling the last hope of the entire Lordaeron Kingdom.
Furding didn't expect that after David saw his entanglement, he actually supported him to do what he really wanted in his heart.
"Is that weird?"
"No, I was negligent." Furding smiled, the kind of smile that came from the heart: "You are the one who has persevered for two years in this land where food is scarce and very cold, in order to make your life 'happy'. ”
"Yes, if you can't get along with anyone, you can't get along with yourself." David stretched out his hand and shook it with Fordin's big hand: "Moreover, my friends and I will support you." ”
When the two of them clasped hands together, David vaguely felt something.
