"That's it," said Tral disapprovingly, "after you're gone, the Legion's combat effectiveness will definitely drop." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Our Second Legion has added recruits from two more wings, and without the cavalry wing, the Second Legion can only do some garrison work."

Major Hudson smiled and said, "Alright, Tlal. Don't cry in front of Captain Locke. How often did we Crusaders not train new armies from recruits? ”

"Let these recruits go around Brill and go and hunt down some gnolls and robbers, and see blood. Soon, the mighty Second Army returned. ”

"But we need cavalry, otherwise the Second Legion will really be a garrison. The Second Legion is an offensive legion, not a garrison legion. Tlal said helplessly, "The Second Legion without cavalry is like having its wings broken." We can't just go out and fight like we used to. You see, of the several garrisons of our crusaders, which one has cavalry? There is no cavalry to garrison. Like now, stay in Brill and build a defensive line. ”

"According to you, there will be no war without cavalry?" Hudson still smiled, "Cavalry is just cavalry, they're not everything. ”

"If we can connect to the Hillsbrad Hills, let's get us some horses," Tlal whispered as she looked at Locke. The Second Legion would once again be a combat unit. ”

"Give up that dream, Tlal." Hudson continued, "Now that we at Lordaeron have no actual leader, the country will soon face a series of problems, and we will be a relatively large civil resistance group at best. Those nobles of the hills of Hillsbrad, why should they listen to us? ”

"It's good if there's a king or princess around, and they can command the nobles and the army over there. Otherwise, why should they listen to our orders? Hudson turned to look at Locke and said, "We don't have the authority to order them?" Do you understand? Tlal? ”

Locke didn't speak, and he wasn't sure why Hudson looked at himself and said, this matter was a bit complicated.

"I know that, I'm just talking about it." Tlal shrugged, "Our kingdom of Lordaeron has to have a king, don't we?" All the members of the Minethil family are gone, and now even the side branches are gone, what should I do? ”

"We've got to figure out something."

"Well, that's not what we're supposed to think about right now." Locke interrupted the conversation between the two, he always felt that the two of them were deliberately talking next to him, as if they were colluding, one question and one answer, otherwise why did they cooperate so well?

As for who the king of the kingdom of Lordaeron is, even if the princess is gone, it will not be his turn. There are too many relatives among the nobles, and maybe when you settle all this in front of you, a distant relative claiming to be the Minahir family will pop up.

So, do what is in front of you.

"Is the campsite for the night arranged?" Locke looked at Hudson and asked, before leaving, Locke had told him to prepare the camp for the Second Legion.

"Ready, Captain Locke." Tlal nodded, "We've cleaned up an area from the ruins of Brill's town, where some houses are still inhabitable, some are not, and we have to live in tents outside. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't have to clean it up temporarily." Locke tilted his head back and commanded Bridget, "Get the army behind you to speed up and get into Brill." After dinner, let all the officers come to the corps headquarters and hold a military meeting. ”

"Yes, Captain"

Dinner was served in the ruins of Brill, where most of the soldiers of the Fifth Legion lived and occupied the area east of the town of Brill. The soldiers could put it in the dilapidated house and rest for a good night.

"We're going to the Silver Pine Forest." Locke looked at all the officers in the room and said slowly, "That's where we want to go!" ”

"What!"

"This..."

"The Light is above! I must have heard it wrong! ”

The officers present whispered, but no one retorted loudly, and they were all surprised to hear the news suddenly.

Locke looked at their surprised expressions and didn't rush to explain, it was necessary to give them time to react.

"Legion Commander! You're not kidding, are you?! Major Paul paused for a moment, and then he immediately asked eagerly, "Aren't we training in the field?" ”

"Do you need to bring all the supplies of the logistics wing with you for field training? And all the armaments of the soldiers? Locke patiently explained, "That's what I planned from the beginning. ”

"But we don't know anything about the situation over there." Major Arad Saul also frowned, "And when we get to the Silver Pines Forest, we will lose all the support of the Crusaders, and we don't even know what is going on over there. ”

"The situation here is not stable enough." Major Fran also stepped forward and questioned.

Locke was relieved to hear them say this. The officers did not oppose the plan, but had some concerns about some aspects of the military operation.

"We only have enough food for more than a month." Inspector Shiloh was also a little surprised and said, "What are we going to do without food?" There is also our logistics, the repair of uniforms, weapons and armor, some auxiliary facilities, which need to be supported by the monastery. ”

"We mages don't have anything in particular," Olivia walked out wearing a blue and white mage robe, holding the staff in her hand, the top of the staff was inlaid with a blue gem, and the cloth armor on her shoulders was emitting bursts of white mist, "What does the Legion Commander want, just give us orders." ”

"Thank you! Mage Olivia, I'll go to you if I need to," Locke nodded to the female mage.

"Listen to me, everybody." Locke stood in the middle of the large room, where a pit of stone was built, and wood was burning.

Locke threw a piece of paper into the fire and looked back at them.

"You should listen carefully to what the Legion Commander has to say." Hudson suddenly spoke up in front of Locke, he looked at the officers around him and said slowly, "Since the Legion Commander has decided to go to the Silver Pine Forest, he must have made complete preparations, otherwise he wouldn't have said that." ”

"Major Hudson is right, I have my plans and ideas." Locke nodded to him, who backed away and stood back in the crowd.

Lately, Major Hudson seems to be paying more and more attention to communicating with himself, and will take the initiative to echo his own opinions, which is a good thing.

"As for everyone's concerns, I will explain them to you one by one."

Locke's gaze swept over all the officers present, and then rested on Shiloh's face.

"Let's start with our logistics problems." Locke smiled at Shiloh and asked, "Prosecutor, let me ask you." If our Fifth Army stays in Gadar, will we be able to get a steady supply of food and munitions and weapons? ”

"This—" Shiloh didn't answer immediately, "let me think about it, Legion Commander." This is a more complicated matter. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's still early, our officers have time." Locke signaled that it was okay.

"Alright, let's put that aside for now, let's talk about the situation in the Tirisfal Glades." Locke beckoned, and Bridget, who was standing in the distance, walked up to Locke, who whispered in her ear for a while, and Bridget nodded and walked out.

"As we all know, the Tirisfal Glade is the backyard of our crusaders, and the importance of its location, believe me or not, you know it. So, we Crusaders have a large number of troops stationed here. The 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 4th Reserve Corps. ”

"That's nearly 40,000 people, and of them, three combat corps are out of production."

Bridget soon returned from outside, followed by two soldiers, carrying a bulletin board in their hands.

The soldiers placed the bulletin board where Locke stood, and Bridget pulled out a large map of the Tirisfal glade and overlaid it on the board.

"Look here." Locke pointed at Brill and drew up to the north of the map, stopping at the gallon's position, "This line, defended by the Second and Fourth Legions, on the hill to the east of this line is the largest stronghold of the Scourge in the Tirisfard Glades, the mill town of the Agamande. There are nearly 100,000 Scourge spirits there, and they are now a threat to us. ”

"In the last battle for the reconquest of the gallons, we drove them away and reclaimed the land where the gallons were there. In the Hearth Ash Manor, the forces of the free undead have been strengthened somewhat, and the Forsaken are fighting them. According to the Scouts, the undead scourge can only be cowered in Mill Town, and they have no intention of going out. ”

"The path of the Scourge undead to the bottom of the mountain was cut off by our Fourth Crusader Legion and the Forsaken of the Hearth Ash Manor, and these Scourge undead were trapped on the mountain."

"They're a much less threatening threat to us now, so!" Locke turned his head to look at all the officers present, then pointed to Lordan Road, directly across from Brill.

"Them! is our biggest threat right now! ”

Locke pressed his finger to Lordaeron on the map and continued, "This free undead will henceforth be called the Forsaken. Locke asked the officers.

"These forsaken ones, they occupy our spiritual symbol, the royal capital of Lordaeron. Most of the 200,000 humans who once lived in that city are now undead creatures from the outside, but the difference is that they have sanity and are much stronger than the undead of the Scourge Legion. ”
