**Outside the town of the Agamander family on the top of Na Mountain, two human scouts are ambushing and monitoring the movements of the undead here. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

One of the scouts was lying on the ground, looking up at the dim sky, a leaf in his mouth, chewing unconsciously, and a long scar on his face.

The other scout hid himself in the rotting leaves of the trees, observing the town in the distance, scratching his cheeks and clasping his nose at the other, looking a little restless.

"Millers, if you keep making small movements like this, you may be discovered by the monsters on the other side." The scout, who was lying on the ground chewing leaves, spoke slowly.

Yes, the scout who was observing now was Millers' recruit, and it was Scarface lying next to him.

"Damn it! No one told me I couldn't move as a scout! Millers cursed under his breath. Do you still want to say that in fact you can't not move, you can't speak, right? ”

"You're so smart!" Scarface said comfortably, "There are more than these rules when you are out on a mission, you can't make noises casually, you can't move around at will, you have to lie on your stomach and don't move." ”

"In short, it is to lie on your stomach, staring wide-eyed, and when necessary, you have to write down the things that need to be recorded, such as the entry and exit of some munitions, the entry and exit of the army, etc."

It's still a long way from the town of the Agamander family, and there are a few scouts watching in front of it, and those scouts are all experienced scouts, and most of the information is collected and analyzed by them, and then passed on. And on the periphery of these elite scouts, there are also a large number of scout points, which are used to train soldiers who have joined the scout team.

Scarface is responsible for training Millers, and in this limited time, he wants to teach Millers as a scout, survival skills in the wild, and intelligence spying skills.

"Damn it! But no one told me about it! Millers turned his head to glare at him.

"Didn't I tell you now?" Scarface spat out the leaves in his mouth and looked over, "Also, you need to thank the scout lines at the front, if it weren't for them, you might have been caught by the undead!" ”

"Being a scout is a very esoteric course that requires non-stop learning."

Millers scoffed, "You've got it, like you're a master." ”

"You'd better remember what I said." Scarface's seriousness grew, "The scouts who didn't take these words seriously ended up being test subjects for the undead. Being a scout isn't as simple as you think. ”

"Okay," Millers turned his head helplessly, pulling out a telescope from under his body and looking at it.

"And! Be careful with the guy in your hand, this thing is now one less than one, and the craftsman and many crafting materials are gone. Now you need to buy from those gnomes, and the price is still very expensive. Scarface rolled over and continued to lie down. We will do our best to lighten the burden of the crusaders. ”

Millers grabbed the telescope in his hand, it is said that this thing is very valuable, and the high value can make ordinary civilian families save money for a year!

"How much is this thing worth?" Millers still couldn't help asking.

"A few gold coins, huh?" Scarface touched his chin and thought about it, and said affirmatively.

Millers grasped it even tighter, when he was not participating in the crusade, he had to eat more than a dozen copper coins of food every day, so that he could eat not only for a year, but at least two or three years.

"What if...... What happens if I sell it? Millers asked.

Scarface said nonchalantly, "First of all, it's numbered, and you can't sell it within Lordaeron. Secondly, even if you sell it, if it is found afterwards, then there will be one more body in the tree at the entrance of the Whisper Garden. ”

"Well, it's not worth it for a few gold coins." Millers shook his head and picked up the binoculars and looked at them again.

After a while, Millers suddenly turned his head and said to him mysteriously.

"Have you heard something?"

Scarface covered his face with a large leaf, and his voice came from below.

"What did you hear?"

"It's about the High Elf. Oh! Now I'm also my company leader, Captain Norris. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I heard that the elf, oh no, it's our company leader, and I heard that she likes Major Locke!"

Scarface listened unconcernedly, but when he heard Millers say this, he pulled off the leaves and sat up, looking at Millers.

"Really?" He looked at Millers suspiciously.

"Really! Absolutely true! Millers almost swore to God.

"What's going on? You and I have a good talk. Scarface was a little surprised.

Impossible? Lord Locke doesn't look like that kind of person. And Captain Norris, as a High Elf, hasn't he always looked down on humans? How could she possibly like humans? Besides, what about Inspector Whitemayne?

Outside the town of Gallen, soldiers are cutting down trees to set up camps for the legions that will be taken on defense.

Now that everything is starting to get on track in Gallentown, Locke has temporarily taken over the command of the Second Legion, and the High Lord has awakened, but he has not taken over the command, but has been teaching Locke on the side, pointing out some deficiencies in his management of the Legion.

In the days after the end of the battle of Gallen, the town of Gallon also began to rebuild to a limited extent, under the leadership of Commander Locke, the soldiers began to clean up the town, and the battle report had already been sent to Gadar and the monastery, and in the near future, the Fourth Legion and a reserve army would come to take over all the defenses, and with the Fourth Legion came a large number of refugees, who would take on the task of rebuilding Gallon and clearing the farmland.

When they reached Gadar, the Second Army could return to Gadar for repairs.

And at this time, in the headquarters of the Second Legion, the officers of the Second Legion were gathered,

Locke stood in the middle of the commander's position, with the High Lord Mograini on his side.

"Major Hudson, have the Forsaken shown any signs of returning since the last time they were evacuated?" Locke asked, looking at the Scout's map of Gallon on the table.

This map is much more accurate than the previous one, and it can roughly understand where you are. All ground targets on it were marked with special symbols.

"Commander! The Forsaken have evacuated the area with all their undead since we laid down the gallons. Major Hudson, with gray hair, pointed here. Now that their location is here, they have not returned to Brill or Lordaeron, they are heading towards Carlstone Manor, trying to join the Forsaken there. ”

"Do we need to intercept them?" Hudson asked, looking up.

"Nope! No, you don't. Locke looked at the map and shook his head, "Our Second Legion is now too big, don't forget about us." ”

Locke pointed to the mill town on the hill behind him.

"Here, there is also the Scourge Legion's largest stronghold in the Tirisfal Glade, and there are tens of thousands of undead soldiers inside. Our immediate priority is to hold the granary of gallons, digest them, and wait for the arrival of the Fourth Legion. ”

"Then let them go?" Some officers questioned.

"At this stage, our crusaders are not strong, and although these forsaken are also undead, they are still somewhat sensible and will not start the war easily. The Scourge has not attacked us these days, but has begun to shrink their forces and stay in the Mill Town. ”

"What does that mean?"

Locke swept around, and the officers around him were quietly listening to his analysis of the situation, while the high lord looked at him encouragingly.

"This means that the Scourge are undermanned in Lordaeron, or they think they can't stop our attack, so they can only stay in the mill town and wait for new orders from their master."

Some of the officers looked at the map silently and thought, and some followed the map to simulate the movements of the undead.

"If the Forsaken really want to go to Carlstone Manor, that's a good thing. The Scourge will be besieged at the top of the mountain, and the two paths leading to the bottom of the mountain are blocked by us and the Forsaken. The living environment of the entire Tirisfal Woodland will be much better. ”

The Great Lord Mograini nodded with satisfaction, it seems that this kid doesn't have to teach himself, so it's okay, wait for this time to go back...

"And we can take advantage of this opportunity to grow and strengthen our crusaders. First of all, we need to expand the army! Locke set the tone first, and the officers below immediately became excited, after all, expanding the army means being promoted.

"With our current forces, we can't fight the Scourge and the Forsaken at the same time, but we can't guarantee that we will fight one side every time, so we must expand our forces! We want to use this victory to boost the morale of the army and the people, and to attract more civilians into the crusaders, we need at least 10 regular legions! A minimum of 20 Reserve Legions are required! ”

"Shhh The officers below gasped!

10 regular legions! 20 Reserve Legions!

The officers began to talk loudly, 10 regular regiments are 40,000 people, plus 20 reserve regiments are 80,000 people, a total of 120,000 troops!

And that's not even counting the current four regular legions and two reserve legions!

That adds up to 145,000 troops!

Locke looked at the officers who were talking below, and he turned his head to look at the Grand Lord Mograini for help.

I saw that the Great Lord's face also showed an embarrassed look.

Am I saying the wrong thing? Locke couldn't help but wonder.

High Lord Mograini stood up with a wry smile as he shouted.

"Silence!"

The officers quickly stopped the noise, and their faces were red one by one, which was a good thing for them!

"Listen to the Commander!"

Locke froze, and he saw that the officers below looked at him with very hot eyes, as if they were about to melt themselves.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Locke's heart was furious when he was seen, and he simply lowered his head.

"This battle has also exposed our shortcomings, first of all I would like to commend our officers and soldiers, you have shown bravery in the battle, even Sergeant Major Norris is full of praise. She said that you behaved in battle like the elves of the kingdom of Quel'Thalas, who had lived for hundreds of years. ”

"Really? Sergeant Major Noris? ”

Locke asked Norris beside him.

"I ...... Yes" Norris looked at Locke's expression as if she was squeezing her eyes and begging for mercy, and she couldn't help but change what she originally wanted to say.

"Yes, you're like... Brave as a royal guard! Norris said against her will, and couldn't help but scold Locke for being a liar!

Swindler! Swindler! Swindler!

When did I say that?!

She glared at Locke viciously, opened her cherry-colored mouth, and sharpened her tiger teeth!

You're dead! I swear! Wait for the meeting to end!

Locke only felt a chill run down his back, and he lowered his head in disregard.

"But!" Locke stopped the officers' fluttering expressions and poured cold water on their faces.

"All of us here are officers, and we are all children of nobles, I want to ask you, what are the duties of officers in wartime?"

"Is there only one brave warrior?" Locke quipped.

At this time, all the officers drooped their heads, including the big lord, because after the battle began, all the officers rushed out in the first place and fought hard.

If it weren't for Major Hudson's expulsion of the Forsaken, his timely return, and the regrouping of his forces to advance the town, there is no telling what the chaos would have been.
