Warcraft - Scourge of the Undead: Chapter 143 Chapter 130 Chapter [-] The Prophet and the Magic Stick

"Speak, sir."

"First question, where did you hear the rumors about the New World? Not many people in the kingdom know this secret."

I know it from the plot of the game.

Of course Zaimuzuo wouldn't say that, and he sighed secretly that an experienced veteran like Uther really wasn't so easy to be fooled, so he bit the bullet and made up a lie.

"I was at the Kingfisher Tavern on Lordaeron's King's Row last year, and I heard a few people with Kul Tiran accents mention it, and they said it was full of gold."

There is indeed a Kingfisher Tavern in Lordaeron, where dragons and snakes are mixed, and bounty hunters often look for employers here, and it is hard to say whether there are sailors from Kul Tiras among them.

"Those sailors are all alcoholics. When they get drunk, they will even say when they pee their pants, which makes sense."

Uther groaned, believing the rhetoric.

"The New World does exist. The people of Kul Tiran have been exploring the passage to it for many years, and it is true that a few lucky ones have brought back some gold. Admiral Daelin Proudmoore and Terenas The king has always had a good relationship, and with his support, the Royal Navy of Lordaeron also participated in the expedition to the New World many years ago, so I also heard about it.”

"But Lord Uther, my nephew is in the navy, and he has never heard of these rumors."

The older lieutenant colonel asked everyone's doubts in amazement. Lordaeron is so big, and officers at all levels are also full of noble children. If it is really a new continent with hidden gold, the whole country will be covered within a week. Knowing this news, even if the king tried hard to cover it up, it would be of no avail.

"Because the New World is not as rich as imagined. Most of the land is hot and arid wasteland. It is difficult to grow food on the barren land. Most of the gold mines and rich grasslands are controlled by a group of ferocious natives. They have people The upper body of the horse and the lower body of the horse are as fast as the wind, each of them is a natural cavalry, and they often fight with the other two gangs of the same ferocious Minotaur and porcupine on the grassland. In addition, the expedition team also found trolls, The traces of ogres, harpies and even dragons, just the early exploration cost the expedition team a lot of manpower, and finally had to evacuate this land."

Zaimuza thought to himself that the centaurs that exist as wild monsters in the game are so powerful, how terrifying will the night elves who have been silent for thousands of years be?But he can't say these things directly. It is estimated that only the scholars of Dalaran and the elves of Quel'Thalas know these things.

"Second question, young man, do you know what the biggest threat to the expedition team is?"

With burning eyes, Uther continued to ask.

"An ancient race hidden in that continent?"

"No, it's a storm. Those natives are powerful, but we are not invincible. The waterways known to the Kul Tirans are not safe, and they are navigable for less than five months a year, even during the safe period However, the United Fleet encountered an unprecedented huge storm on the way back. Facing the huge waves, even the first-class battleships of Kul Tiras are as fragile as leaves, and our Lordaeron expedition team is not large. , consisting of three light warships and one supply ship, but only one broken warship came back safely after the storm. We humans are still too small in the face of nature with infinite power."

The officers suddenly realized and began to talk about it.If they were still longing for the New World at the beginning, now they regard it as a worthless barren land.Most expeditions are for seeking money. If the risk is far greater than the benefit, then no one will make this loss-making business.Probably only those Kul Tirans who have adventure engraved in their bones will persevere in exploring the ocean.

"Young man, don't use unproven alcoholic gossip as your source of information. It's hard to know whether they are bragging or they really have a cow. According to the information of His Excellency Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, the last few The moon is the time when storms are most frequent. If those orcs really go to the New World without charts and supplies, they will find nothing but death."

"I see, ser."

Cai Muzuo didn't refute any more, but lowered his head and made a gesture of humility.

This made Uther feel very relieved. It is a good thing that the new generation of officers are willing to think rather than follow blindly.In his opinion, this young man just lacks some experience, which he is willing to pass on to the next generation.

It is not uncommon for young people to be unconventional in order to express themselves. What is different from other high-level officials is that Uther has always been tolerant of young people and can tolerate them making some small mistakes, as long as they are willing to correct themselves.

…………

The meeting ended with the sound of praise for Uther, the officers rushed to their posts, and the war machine belonging to Lordaeron began to operate.

This powerful paladin adopted a relatively conservative plan. He decided that the garrison troops in various places would stand still and strictly guard against death in his own jurisdiction. Knight Dathrohan led the defense of Dasso County, a part led by Garithos to support the Kingdom of Stromgarde on the Ashira Highlands, and the last part was still led by Uther himself as the general reserve team in case any accident happened.

The fourth company of Zaimozuo will return to the country for repairs like other severely damaged troops, and the newly reinforced troops in the country will take over their tasks.

On the way back to the station, Alsace walked in front, and Timu sat down behind him, until the prince suddenly stopped in a place where no one was there.

"Farric, how sure are you that the orcs will go south to Thurd Farm?"

"Fifty percent, but I believe Thrall will make the right choice between nine deaths and ten deaths."

Zaimuza said a conservative number. Of course, he knew that Thrall would grab the ship under the inspiration of Medivh and travel across the ocean to Kalimdor.

But which port will be attacked?When will it attack?He doesn't know these questions.

He can only be like a scumbag who "accidentally" saw the test paper of a top student during a math test, racking his brains to deduce the process after knowing the answer.

It is a pity that the flaws in the derivation process were discovered by the experienced Uther Lightbringer, and even the results were denied.

"It's already high."

Alsace pondered for a while, then sighed:

"But you shouldn't directly contradict the old stubborn gang at the meeting, it will make you look rude, they value these things the most. It's okay if the orcs choose to go east, they will only treat you as a rash subordinate, but if the orcs really Choosing to go south is equivalent to slapping everyone in the face, which is not good for your career."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. But when a carriage is about to drive into the abyss, someone must stand up and tighten the reins, right? If it were you, how would you choose?"

Alsace was slightly taken aback, then laughed out loud.

"I will make the same choice as you."

Cai Muzuo also laughed, when he made this choice, did he care about his official career?He was even ready to be reprimanded and punished by Uther.

All this was just to establish an image of a prophet in front of Alsace.

What is a prophet?Collect clues like horses and dogs, extract evidence step by step, and finally draw a conclusion.

Even if Zaimuzao's reasoning process is not so rigorous, it is still more convincing than the nagging Medivh.

In his opinion, Medivh cannot be called a prophet, but can only be regarded as a magic stick. There are many lunatics who shout every day that the end of the world is coming. Which one should the kings believe?

And his analysis may not be favored by everyone this time, but next time even if only Alsace is willing to believe it, it will be enough to do a lot of things.

"Prince Arthas, is that orc really that powerful?"

The man in the purple velvet robe held a wine glass and asked exaggeratedly.

"Of course, Baron Victor. Maybe he wasn't the strongest one I've ever seen, but he must be the fastest one. Many soldiers lost their lives before they could even see his sword shadow clearly."

Alsace truthfully described the appearance of Jubitus to the surrounding crowd, causing some noble girls to exclaim from time to time.

"But he still fell under your sword, didn't he? Gentlemen and ladies, let's make another toast to His Royal Highness, the brave and fearless prince who defended the people!"

"To Lordaeron!"

"To Lordaeron!"

"..."

At the suggestion of Baron Victor, everyone raised their wine glasses. Alsace could only maintain a stiff smile and drank the No.17 glass of wine.

It has been more than a month since he returned to the King of Lordaeron, and he was greeted by one boring banquet after another, a group of nobles who had nothing to do to lick their father's or their own boots, and a group of people with thick smears on their faces. Aristocratic ladies with thick powder and fat, Nie Sheng and Nie Qi pretending to be ladies.

To be honest, Arthas didn't like all this. He would rather continue to put on the heavy armor and fight the orcs for a few more hours until his body was sore and exhausted, rather than patiently listening to the people around him. It's better to flatter and fill yourself up with expensive wine.

But he can't.

When Alsace returned to the capital a month ago, the first thing he did was report the situation to his father, King Terenas, nervously.

"Well done son, I'm proud of you."

Perhaps because he knew how difficult the orcs were, His Majesty the King didn't bother and care about the loss of one-third of the battle attrition. Instead, he praised him without hesitation, and kept putting money and power into Alsace's hands.

From then on, Alsace not only broke away from Uther's command sequence, but also had the ability to form his own army and fight alone. Treat it as treason.

Currently in Lordaeron, only Sir Uther, the head of the Knights of the Silver Hand, has this qualification. Others, even the veteran paladin Dathrohan and the sudden emergence of Garithers in recent years, can only command their own subordinates.According to the regulations, only when the commander of the friendly army is killed and the organizational system is completely disrupted, they can obtain the command of others in order of military rank.

The expansion of the power in the prince's hands also brought the position of the adjutant to the throne. Alsace and Uther's recommendation made him smoothly promoted from captain to major, and half of his foot entered the high-level officer club.

Although he is only a major, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he will be the most trusted guard commander of the king in the future. He will become a general of the kingdom just around the corner, and maybe he will be able to win a title in the future.

Zaimuza will be responsible for assisting in the formation of this new army. Currently, there are only three infantry companies under his jurisdiction, but according to King Terenas' wishes, the strength of this army will be gradually strengthened in the future.

Arthas tried his best to restrain himself, and did not shout excitedly.

But while he was delighted, he noticed carefully that the man sitting on the gem-inlaid throne who once protected him from the wind and rain and led the entire alliance to defeat the evil orcs was already old.

Half of the blonde hair that used to be as beautiful as myself is gray, the wrinkles on his forehead have become more and deeper, his energy is not as good as before, and his face is full of worries.

While listening to his report, King Terenas leaned on the back of the throne most of the time, propping his head on his dry palm.

And when Terenas stood up, although he didn't need the attendants to help him, he had to hold the handrail tightly with both hands, which seemed very difficult.

The only thing to be thankful for is that my father still maintains the same wise eyes and kind smile as before.

Arthas knew that one day the mournful dirge would be sung for him, and the old coronation hymn would be sung for himself.

But by the Holy Light, please let this day come more slowly!

In the days that followed, with the support and impetus of King Terenas, Arthas began to make frequent appearances on various occasions in Lordaeron.

These include meeting with ambassadors from dwarves, elves, and other human kingdoms, receiving representatives of businessmen and citizens, attending the Torch Festival, the most important traditional festival in Lordaeron every year, speaking at financial meetings on behalf of the king, inspecting and condolences to various departments... …

But what I do most is to organize the palace banquet that my mother was in charge of in previous years.

As his father warned him, loyal nobles are one of the cornerstones of Lordaeron's rule.He must keep in touch with the nobles, listen to their demands, satisfy some of them while hanging on to others, and skillfully create a balance between nobles and nobles, nobles and commoners.

Listening to those crappy flattery is also one of the skills. The nobles seem to acquiesce that this is an unspoken rule of loyalty ceremony. Even if Alsace said that he killed a gecko, they would blow it as a magical transformation Thunder Lizard.

He seriously had to listen to this nonsense.

You can't really get flustered just because you heard a few words of hypocritical flattery, and lead to being despised.He couldn't scold these sycophants like the unselfish Sir Uther, which chilled everyone's hearts.

In short, whether it is true or false, he must show enough kindness to the nobles who stand on his side.

Just when Alsace felt that another barrel of royal wine was about to be exhausted, a guard rushed into the center of the banquet.

"Prince Alsace, Your Majesty wants you to go there immediately."

"Everyone, excuse me."

After walking out of the crowd, Alsace breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately became serious. Things that can interrupt the banquet are not necessarily bad things, but they must not be trivial.

As expected, when Alsace arrived at the throne hall, many people had already gathered here. King Terenas kneaded the center of his brows weakly on the throne, and an attendant handed a letter to Alsace. It is the military situation that came from Uther.

With a quick glance, his expression became as stern as the others.

The letter said that the troops led by Dathrohan and Garithos were empty in the uninhabited wasteland, where only the dung left by the orcs.

And the main force of the orcs, under the leadership of the new chieftain Thrall, turned the others around. First, they attacked Tarren Mill and other places so fiercely that Uther and the others once thought that the enemy would start a frontal battle with the greatly reduced Lordaeron army. decisive battle.

For the sake of safety, they agreed to avoid the battle and stick to the city, only waiting for Dathrohan and Garithos to come back and catch the turtle.

But who would have thought that that night, the orcs abandoned most of the luggage in the camp outside the city, leaving only one broken army to light a fire and cook in the camp to bluff, and the army crossed the river and went straight to Nanhai Town.

The defenders of Nanhai Town bravely fought fiercely with the orcs all night, and finally defended the pearl in the south of the kingdom. When Uther wiped out the broken troops and rushed to the aid of Nanhai Town, the orcs crossed the same river downstream again, and made a surprise attack. Thed farm and port to the east.

The defenders here destroyed the bridge and fought to the last person, but in the end, the orcs snatched enough ships and food, and went away without a trace.

Alsace was shocked by the development of the battle.

"Straighten your back, raise your head, and look ahead! Are there gold coins on the ground? Or did your eyeballs fall to the ground?"

"Hold the spear steadily! Stab the spear accurately!"

"Shake what? Talk about you! Bill, give him a whip!"

When the Dukes of Lordaeron were worrying about the war, Timu Zuo, who had just been promoted to major, was not idle. He has been very busy this month.

Show loyalty to the king, give gifts to old bosses, attend frequent meetings, receive supplies from the military department, settle those wounded who cannot fight, and pay pensions to the families of soldiers who died in battle... But the most important thing is to train recruits.

According to King Terenas' wishes, Alsace's direct troops were tentatively set at the size of a battalion, and the original Zaimozuo company would be expanded into three companies of infantry and equipped with other troops.

A battalion of troops can't even occupy a street in Stalingrad, but it is already a force to be reckoned with in Azeroth.Although Lordaeron has a military rank system similar to that of the previous world, it is actually a well-behaved feudal kingdom.

Such a wonderful system is the legacy of the alliance back then. The standing army of the Kingdom of Lordaeron is divided into four parts. The royal family directly leads the guard army of about 5 people, and the city defense army of various places is about 1 people. There are about 1 people, and there is the famous Knights of the Silver Hand. The total number of these professional soldiers does not exceed 3.

In addition to the standing army are conscripts and mercenaries.

During wartime, the king will recruit free farmers and tenant farmers from royal farms to fight, and the nobles will also lead their own private army and tenant farmers to participate in the war as appropriate. The king or marshal will assign tasks to the nobles, and the nobles will then assign tasks to their troops.

In the last orc war, such a chain of command seemed very awkward.Humans, dwarves, and elves on the land of Azeroth united unprecedentedly, and the rich contributed money and powerful forces. Lordaeron alone recruited a total of more than 20 troops and [-] farmers in charge of logistics and transportation. It is impossible for the elected Marshal Lothar to take care of every battlefield, and the designated commanders are often killed and the establishment is broken up.

The Alliance needs to cooperate in the battle, but when an Earl of Lordaeron with 500 troops meets the King of Stromgarde with only [-] remnants, who will take command?

In order to better command this mixed army, the alliance has adopted a military rank system. Military ranks are judged comprehensively based on strength, status, ability, and military exploits. Usually, the superiors are followed, and the superiors are killed by those with higher ranks. This effectively avoids competition for command power. The problem.

After the war, the alliance disintegrated, and most of the soldiers were disbanded and became farmers again, but this military rank system was retained. King Terenas could not spend much money and land to reward the meritorious ministers, so he had to take various honors to make up for.

As long as they don't mess too badly, almost all the nobles who participated in the war can get a general. Garithos is strong and lucky and even became a marshal, but his title is still a baron, and the fief is only in Quell. Several villages on the border of Salas.

The biggest impact of this is that just after the disarmament, there are so many generals in Lordaeron, comparable to the generals in the Beiyang period. Any country baron has the title of brigadier general, but the troops he can command may not be enough. Not 100 people.
