Chapter 1054: Frontline Military Conference
In the original history known to Barrage, Gavinrad Doom did not return to the Stormwind Kingdom after the Second Orc War, but stayed with the other Silver Hand Paladins in Lordaeron and eventually died at the hands of the fallen Arthas.
Unbeknownst to Saljan, the butterfly effect came about, and as a result, Gavinrad accepted Varian's invitation to join him back to the Elwyn Forest to rebuild the ruined city of Stormwind.
It is precisely because of the return of Gavin Rad that it has brought a legacy to the Kingdom of Stormwind, and Bervar Vortagen, who is already talented in military affairs, should be more accomplished than in the original history.
Perhaps because of the long hours of hard work after returning to the Stormwind Kingdom, Gavin Rad ages much faster than the older Uther.
According to Kael'thas, this battle with the Burning Legion against the Dark Gate should be the last battle of Gavin Rad's life.
Regardless of the final outcome of the war, Gavinrad was determined to give up his position as marshal of the Stormwind Kingdom and give up the room for advancement to the good young men.
The young man was not yet 30 years old Bovar Furtagen, Gavinrad's personal apprentice.
Azeroth also has a habit of seniority, with the subconscious belief that older people will have more experience and abilities.
If it weren't for Gavinrad's endorsement behind him, even with the status of a duke, Boval's qualifications would be far from being able to take over the position of marshal of the Stormwind Kingdom.
Sarayan didn't know how much of an exchange of interests was behind this, and he didn't have the interest to delve into it, which was something that the intelligence community should be worried about.
As his last swan song, Gavin Rad would never allow this war to end in defeat.
The leading generals of other countries also gave up the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces to this veteran who was about to retire.
The military representative of Quel'Thalas's side is the commander of the Sun Wrath's legion, Chapman Sunrage, who is also a veteran who has plans to abdicate and make way for the virtuous.
Chapman's chosen heir to the Legion Commander is also an "acquaintance" whom Barrage knows, supposedly named Kane Sunrage.
In the original history known to the barrage, Kane Sunrage's fate took a 180° turn due to Quel'Thalas's defeat by the Scourge Legion.
Instead of inheriting the command of the Sunfury from Chapman, who died in battle, he resolutely followed Prince Kael'thas to the Outlands to seek a new source of magic for his people.
By accident, Kane Sunrage became a demon hunter who followed Yin Lidan Fury, and he also had a highlight performance in subsequent versions.
"Ah~ Duke of Deep Shadow, you're finally here."
Chapman Rifu got up and beckoned Sarreyan to come to him, voluntarily relinquishing his original status as a representative of Quel'Thalas, and willingly stood behind Sarren.
Today's Salian is no longer the obscure lone adventurer he was back then, regardless of his popularity among the people, at least at the top of various countries, the name of Saljan Deep Shadow has long been like thunder.
The Sun King's right-hand man, the descendant of the dragon clan living in the mortal realm, and the behind-the-scenes operator who is good at layout, each title is enough for the high-ranking officers present to pay enough attention to him.
Although he is also a henchman of the Sun King, the aging Chapman knows very well that the weight of Sarren in the mind of Kael'thas is by no means comparable to him.
This is not only because of Sarjan's special status, after so many years of hard work, Sarjan's ability has also been widely recognized by the top level of Quel'Salas.
Time was of the essence, and Salian did not play the three-push-and-pull trick of the table, and sat in Chapman's previous position.
"I'm sorry, Marshal Gavin Rad, I'm late."
Gavinrad's personality was quite easy-going, he smiled and shook his head, "The Captain of the Sunfury Legion has already explained to us before, the Duke of Deep Shadow has other important things to do, and he just rushed back to the territory to preside over the New Year's Eve celebration two days ago, and it is not easy to come over so quickly." ”
"Let's get here first."
After a brief explanation for Sarren, Gavinrad restrained his smile and brought the topic back to the point.
"The Burning Legion is menacing, and thanks to the information provided by Quel'Thalas, we were able to successfully prevent the Burning Legion's opening attack."
"But that's the point."
Gavinrad turned around with a serious expression and tapped heavily on the huge map behind him, his finger poking at the location of the Dark Door.
"According to the strategic objectives set by the coalition forces before the war, we are not only to stop the Burning Legion's offensive, but also to advance the battle line to the other side of the Dark Gate and reconnect with the Alliance Expeditionary Force that stayed behind in Draenor many years ago to buy time for Azeroth."
The Acting High Lord of the Hammer, Furstad, immediately agreed: "The High Lord of our clan, Kudran Wildhammer, has been trapped in Draenor for many years, and taking the opportunity of the re-establishment of the Council of the Three Hammers, all the dwarves are eager for the safe return of this highly decorated warrior. ”
Muradin Copperbeard also nodded and said, "Not only Kudran, but also many relatives and friends present here must have joined the expeditionary force, right?" ”
Gavin Rad raised his hand and stroked his snow-white beard: "Alliance Generalissimo Tulayan also stayed in Draenor with the expeditionary force, and we need him to re-command the coalition forces at the moment when the alliance is rebuilt." ”
Sarian took over and said, "Before entering the Watch Fort, I deliberately ascended to the air to reconnoitre. ”
"There is no trace of the expeditionary force activity near the Dark Gate, and with Tulayan's commanding ability, I don't think the expeditionary force will be easily wiped out by the Burning Legion, and they should be hiding somewhere in Draenor waiting for the opportunity to counterattack."
In the words of the barrage, Tulayan is the child of destiny who really holds the protagonist's script.
Turayan came from a very modest background, the son of a jailer, but at a young age he was favored by the Archbishop of the Holy Light, Alonthos Fao, and was accepted as a personal apprentice.
After becoming a paladin under the baptism of Alonsos, Tulayan rose through the ranks and became the deputy and de facto heir of the Alliance's first generalissimo, Anduin Lothar, with his strong military talent.
Anduin Lothar was killed in the final battle of the Second Orc War, and Tulayan took up his mantle as the second Generalissimo of the Alliance.
After that, in order to solve the threat from Draenor once and for all, Tulayan gathered the Alliance Expeditionary Force to bravely cross the Dark Gate and enter a hostile world completely unknown.
After defeating the remnants of the horde assembled by Naozu, Tulayan resolutely decided to stay in the desolate world corrupted by evil for a long time, building the first barrier for Azeroth on the other side of the Dark Gate.
If history doesn't deviate, Tulayan will stumble into a trap during an operation and be thrown into the Warped Void along with Aurelia.
However, Tulayan's strong luck again played a huge role at this time.
It is completely different from the fate of Nao Zu, who is also trapped in the twisted void.
Tulayan unexpectedly encountered the Legion of Light passing by, and was reused under the hands of Zela, the Mother of Light, and because of Zela's infusion of Holy Light, he gained a long life span that was unattainable by most short-lived races.
Even a wall hanger like Salian has to sigh that Tulayan's luck and opportunities are really outrageous.
Due to the drastic change in history, Sarean is unsure if Tulayan will ever merge with the Light Legion as he did in the original history.
But in any case, he did not think that the Alliance Expeditionary Force would be completely wiped out by the Burning Legion.
One thing is certain, with the continuous input of reinforcements from the Burning Legion, it is inevitable that the expeditionary force that cannot get reinforcements will fall behind.
As long as the current leaders of the expeditionary force are sane enough, they will not choose to continue to fight the Legion in the face of absolute disadvantage, but will save their living strength and wait for the opportunity to launch a deadly backstab from the back of the Legion at a critical moment.
Sarren's analysis was unanimously endorsed by the senior officers present.
Gavinrad still calmly turned the topic back: "Then the question is, how can we turn the tide of the battle as soon as possible and advance the battle line to the other side of the Dark Gate?" ”
While everyone else was silent, Gavinrad turned his gaze to Sarjan, who was still holding his head confidently high.
"Duke of Deep Shadow, do you have a suitable plan? Please also speak freely. ”
