Chapter 238 One crab, eight claws, two pointed ends are so big, you clamp me, I will drag you, no one wants to escape.
"Why retreat, breaking through the Orc Coastal Camp will be of great benefit to your prestige and strategic posture."
Aurelia looked at Carlos, who had a gloomy face, and saw that no one around dared to approach her king's low pressure circle, so she seized the opportunity and walked over.
Preparations for the attack have been made, all strategic materials have been distributed in place, and they have been temporarily transferred in, and the officers are busy with a pot of porridge.
"Because somebody has to be a fool."
Carlos looked very depressed.
"Can you tell me what's going on?"
"What do you think the alliance is?"
Carlos's question was so strange that Aurelia didn't know how to answer it, but luckily Carlos didn't mean to let Aurelia answer.
"Think about how lucky we are, selfishness and greed are the evolutionary instincts of biology, suspicion and vigilance are the defense mechanisms to ensure the survival of the individual, everything is for survival, in order to continue the offspring. Biologically, these are all beneficial, and they cannot be called original sin. But from the height of the individual to the whole race, selfishness, greed, suspicion, these are all hateful things. The Alliance is a military community formed to fight against the tribes, and the human kingdoms that are each their own are united into a community of interests. Praise Anduin. Lothar, if it weren't for him, a Sauradin bloodline, to take the lead, with us people, the orcs would not be able to form this alliance even if they reached their doorstep. While I would like to say that I have contributed a lot to the Alliance, it is undeniable that Terenus and his Minahir dynasty are the absolute main force of the Alliance, and the Kingdom of Lordaeron is the core of the Alliance. ”
"But what does this have to do with your withdrawal?"
Aurelia sensed a hint of unease in Carlos's fragmentary words.
"Do you know how many of my opponents in Alterac are?"
"I don't know."
"Those who dare to blatantly jump out against me have been pushed down by our Barov family and allies, but there are still a lot of people who disobey and pretend to submit."
"It's normal, and so is our Quel'Salas."
"There are many more opponents of Terenus than against."
Carlos's mental outfit made it impossible for Aurelia to keep up.
"Do you know where the orcs who broke Dalaran came from?"
"I'm curious, too."
"It's an orc army attacking Quel'Thalas."
"It can't be!"
Aurelia smiled plausibly, as if she had heard some big joke.
"Orcs are terrible, steely will. Steely action, steely military discipline. It is the orc army that you say is impossible, walking for two months in the mountains, bypassing your prince, bypassing the guards of Stratholme, bypassing all of our sentinels. A new world has been detoured. The military newspaper said that a group of ragged orcs had destroyed the Cross Islands under the cover of a rain of hellfire. ”
"Didn't you succeed in destroying the orcs' Hellfire launch site?"
Aurelia asked, puzzled.
"Yes, we destroyed the launch site, but there is nothing we can do about the hellfire that has been sent into the void."
"It's a sad story......"
"The important thing is not this, Dalaran was breached, to be honest, what does it matter to me, what matters is after Dalaran is breached."
"Huh? You mean! ”
Aurelia is worthy of being the leader of the army for many years, and she grasped the key to the problem in an instant.
"Hellfire alone could not destroy Dalaran's magical defenses. The orcs landed on the Cross Islands. ”
"The orcs shouldn't have time to build ships. It's Dalaran's own ship! ”
"That's right, sightseeing yachts, private cruises for mages, cargo ships for supplies. The alliance has called for transport ships several times, but the mages have not responded, preferring to put it in Lake Lordamere to grow moss, this time, it is okay to give it to the orcs. It's all given to the orcs. ”
"What's worse is that with the ship, the orcs can jump directly from Lordaeron!"
"It's not the worst. The worst part is that Lordaeron is now an empty city. ”
"There are 200,000 inhabitants of Lordaeron!"
"Yet less than three thousand defenders."
"How so!"
How could it not, the whole incident itself was pushed by itself!
For the sake of this battle plan, Lothar asked Terenus for more supplies and military strength. The nobles of Lordaeron had already become dissatisfied with the king's several levies, and in order not to exacerbate the conflict, Terenus exchanged gold coins for exemption from servitude, and filled the part of the army that was supposed to be provided by the noble lords with troops loyal to the royal family of Minethir. And the noble lords at the same time as expressing their submission. He also sent all his private soldiers out of Lordaeron.
Without this orc army, everything would be perfect, Terenus is operating at the limit in the rear, and Lothar is in front and just A passes.
But Lake Lordanmere, which is a moat, is no longer a barrier to defend Lordaeron, and this orc army only needs to appear outside Lordaeron. No one knows what will happen.
How much hellfire the orcs still had to use, and whether the empty defenders of Lordaeron could hold the seventeen-kilometer-long walls, everything was unknown.
What's even more terrifying is Orgrim's strong attack regardless of losses, the alliance and the Horde have become a pot of porridge in the north, both sides are fighting hard, whoever can't stand it first will basically lose the war.
At the most critical moment, even a single piece of false news - the destruction of Lordaeron City - will cause an avalanche of chain reactions.
"There are so many residents in Lordaeron City, as long as the residents are mobilized to help defend the city......"
"Come on, Aurelia, the good fellows with blood and guts are already fighting the orcs in the north, and you expect those who would rather pay more taxes than join the army?"
"What then?"
"What should I do, withdraw the troops."
"But even if you withdraw your troops, you can't feel Lordaeron overnight?"
"I've used magical communications to relay the news that Marshal Lothar is going north."
"Are you trying to ......?"
"Even if the orcs of the tribe don't get the news, it's good to let those Alliance warriors who are fighting hard get the news."
"That's terrible......"
"So let's not tell anyone else about this conversation."
"I know."
In fact, the problem itself is not so serious, whether it is to let Hearthvale, Anhador, or Lothar divide their forces to rescue, and as Aurelia said, mobilize the people of Lordaeron to help defend the city, and the orcs will not be able to break through the solid walls of Lordaeron for a while.
But in order to calculate Terenus, for Brill's plan to exchange for Anhador, and in order to marry the Minehir family, Carlos and Alex have used a lot of means behind their backs, and Terenus's situation is now very bad.
People's hearts fluctuate, this is the most annoying thing.
"I'm not guilty of my own sin, and I can't live."
Carlist annoyed. (To be continued.) )
