Uther gave Dasohan a deep look: "Sedan, don't put the cart before the horse. ”

"The Knights of the Silver Hand are certainly Lordaeron's regular army, but we are paladins, not mercenaries who only look out for profit."

"As you said, if you send troops to raid at this time, with the field combat ability of the Knights of the Silver Hand, it is indeed possible to defeat Barov's reinforcements in one fell swoop, but ......"

"Do you really think the enemy won't do anything about it? What if you step into the trap of the other party and the raid fails? Can you afford the consequences? ”

"This ......"

Saidan Dasohan is a typical soldier, not so many fancy, thinking of a play is a play.

"Forget it, I can't talk about you."

Dassault huffed with his hands folded in front of his chest and sat on a boulder by the river.

"I'd like to see how you plan to carry out Your Majesty's orders from Terenus and breach this impregnable entry post."

"Break through...... Is it? ”

Uther smiled bitterly: "So far, do you really think that we can still achieve the strategic goals we set before departure?" ”

Da Suohan, who was full of anger, rarely saw the dejected look on the old man's face, and was stunned for a moment before asking, "What do you mean?" ”

"Even if you can't break through the Ice Wind Hill on the Eastern Front, the army on the Western Front led by Alexander should have some gains, right?"

"A mere Alterac who has been destroying the country for many years, can he still turn over flowers?"

Uther patted Dasohan on the shoulder and sighed softly.

"Saidan, you are a good general, but you can't be a handsome person who coordinates the overall situation, do you know why?"

"Uh~"

Da Sohan's big muscular hand scratched his head: "Your Majesty has also mentioned it, saying that my overall view is not broad enough. ”

"Exactly."

Uther looked worriedly out into the snow-capped Alterac Mountains.

"If my prediction wasn't wrong, Alexander would be worried right now."

"Lordaeron has offended too many people over the years, Gilneth and Dalaran will not let us have a good time, this Alterac rebellion is not as simple as you think."

……

Without the interference of the Knights of the Silver Hand, under the anxious attention of Mayor Matthew, more than 300 elite cavalry of the Barov family were successfully welcomed into the fortress of Icewind Hills.

Due to the syndicate's single class composition, they have never been dispatched before, and can only passively defend this strong fortress.

Seeing that the supplies sent from the rear were getting less and less, but the enemy's offensive never weakened, it was strange that the morale of Ice Wind Hill could be high.

Stein Braid ...... Even after the entire Alterac completely changed hands, Atherton immediately ordered the temporary ministers led by Jorazi Ravenhod to ensure that the logistics sent to Icewind Hill must not be cut off from the rations of the front-line soldiers.

As General Haas led a large number of Ravenhold thieves to the front, the first shipments of grain from Steinbride also entered the fort.

The soldiers, who had been strictly controlled by the Tita siblings, were finally able to eat a full meal, and the soldiers' emotions soon became high.

The big men didn't care who was in power at Facurrest and Etherton, and the reinforcements of General Haas and the Barov family arrived one after another, sending a good signal to the soldiers at the front.

The rear is stable, there is no need to worry about logistics supplies and reinforcements, and the soldiers on the front line only need to concentrate on guarding the fortress.

Salian and Valera quickly solved the unrest inside the fortress of Icewind Gang with a quick knife, and other good news also followed, and the morale of Icewind Gang naturally rose, and they could no longer see the lifeless appearance they had before.

When the second convoy arrived, the Barov messenger, who had arrived with the convoy, secretly brought a message to Sarjan.

"Opened?!"

Sarjan looked at the messenger with wide eyes: "Did Merry mention more detailed information?" ”

The messenger, who was of ordinary appearance and figure, nodded silently and handed a letter with beeswax intact to Sarjan.

When they set off from Steinbled, Sarena and Valeera, who were scrambling for time, did not bring Tina Gossa and Merry with them.

Merry, who stayed behind, communicated with Alex's remaining henchmen, and with the help of Tinagossa's keen perception of the flow of the magic net as a blue dragon, he found the Soradin Chamber of Secrets that Alex mentioned earlier.

Merry is a human elder who has lived through the rise and fall of the Arathso Empire...... Although it is now a lich.

For Merry, the methods used by Soladin to seal off the Chamber of Secrets were familiar.

Even if a modern mage finds it, he won't be able to open the door, because Soladin uses a very old arcane sealing technique, which has a strong sense of age.

Even with the help of a mage who has studied ancient mysteries, it will undoubtedly be very difficult for modern arcanists to break the seal.

However, Soladin's seal was not difficult for Merry, an old lich, and it only took a week to study, and Merry, who was extremely knowledgeable, solved the mystery of the seal.

The messenger had a mission to return to Keldaron, and after handing the letter to Sarren, he took his leave.

Saljan hurried back to his assigned tent and eagerly tore open the beeswax to read the letter with the equally curious Valeera.

"Uh~ this handwriting ......"

Seeing the crooked Salas script on the letter, the corners of Sala's and Valeera's mouths twitched at the same time.

Without careful identification, it was clear at a glance that the letter must have been written by Tina Gosa, or at least by her own hand.

From a certain point of view, this can be regarded as an encrypted letter, and ordinary people really can't recognize Tina's "wild grass" word.

Sallian rolled his eyes and handed the letter to Valeera: "No, I don't understand, it's better for you to 'decipher'." ”

Valera glared at Salaan angrily: "You just don't understand anything, you're just impatient...... Forget it, I'll come, I'll come. ”

Decrypting intelligence was one of Backlightblade's specialties, and Valera was trained in this area.

With her patient verbatim translation, Sarean finally understood what Tina had written on the letter.

"Tolbane?"

Salajan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Soladin would be the famous troll killer in the secret room.

The Tolbain in question is not the surname of the Stormgard royal family, but a two-handed battle axe named "Tolbain".

Trollbaroll is the lingua franca of humanity for trolls, and bane for destruction and nemesis.

Together, these two words mean Troll Buster, or Troll Slayer.

The original Thorbain who followed Soladin the Great was known as the Troll Slayer, and this two-handed battle axe was his personal weapon.

In recognition of the outstanding contributions of the Tolbain family, after the establishment of the Arathor Empire, Soladin the Great bestowed a sacred sword named Tolcara on Signaeus Tolbain, encouraging him and his descendants to continue to contribute to the defense of the Arathor Empire.

According to historical records, the troll killer Tomahawk, who bears the name of Tolbane, has not been seen since.

Rumor has it that the tomahawk was desperately snatched by the trolls, and it is also said that Soladin the Great took it to his own grave.

After defeating Zuaman, Sarean found a broken two-handed axe suspected to be Torbairn in the Amani troll's treasury.

But the tomahawk was too broken to be used, and after the elven blacksmith's identification, the enchanted structure inside the tomahawk had long been damaged, and it was impossible to repair it as before.

If it weren't for Merry's repeated mention in the letter that the real troll killer found in the vault was the real troll killer, Thorbain, Sarren would have thought that the loot that Amani troll had collected was the real thing.

Merry was a witness to that era, and he must have seen the real Torbain Tomahawk with his own eyes, and he could not be mistaken.

According to Merry, the Troll Slayer Battle Axe, which Emperor Soladin had stored in the secret room, was actually an artifact-level, and it was still full of sharpness, and as soon as it was unsealed, it injured an accompanying servant of the Barov family.

"Hmmm......"

Saljan touched his chin thoughtfully: "Why did Emperor Soladin hide the real Torbairn battle axe in the secret room?" ”

Valera is also at a loss for this, analyzing the general trend is not her strong point.

The barrage gave some conjectures at this time.

[Could it be...... Is it to keep future generations enterprising? 】
