Chapter 138: The Black Tide Strikes (2)
The celebrations of the entire Temple of the Sun continued, where most of the elves lingered in the grand feasts of the Council, and the entire City of Daylight was partying day and night, and of course, most of the public officials were still on duty to maintain order in the daily life of the Floating City. X
"My lord, I have just received a message from the front-line general, Lotherma Theron, and a large number of Zuaman trolls have moved again. According to observations from the front, the troll forces set out from Zuaman and deployed troops in Sebnou, with the intention of launching an attack on the front line. "It was Idonis who spoke, and when he received the news from the front, he immediately forwarded it to Patrick, the military ambassador, who had to be dealt with by the highest administration.
"Here it is, the second war I've been waiting for is coming." Patrick thought to himself.
On the surface, Patrick still can't have anything abnormal, and after receiving the report from the front, Patrick asked Idonis to step back: "Okay, I'll take care of it." ”
"It's a bit counterintuitive why the trolls are attacking us now." Since her marriage, Aurelia has been living in the Tower of Sunlight as Patrick's wife, sometimes going to check on the Troopers, and most of the time accompanying Patrick in the Tower of Daylight.
"An unreasonable move must have its own unique significance." Patrick replied: "But behind the front line is the City of Daylight, and the trolls should also know that the entire City of Daylight is holding a banquet now, so a large number of elves have gathered around, if the trolls have no special plans, then their attack is no different from sending them to death." ”
Aurelia also affirmed her husband's point of view: "Although the customs of trolls are backward, they still cherish their lives, and it is impossible to send them to death on a large scale. ”
"In this case, it's not easy to deal with, and it's absolutely not okay to leave it alone, but you have to find a suitable way to deal with it."
Patrick's original idea was to gather a wave of hearts and minds when Orgrim invaded, so that the City of Daylight would be more prosperous, and Patrick's combatable soldiers would gather more and more, and now that he had Aurelia by his side, the ranger troops must have been firmly caught.
On the contrary, the mage army is not easy to establish, and there are resources around his own tower of sunlight to supply those new mages and apprentices, a powerful mage needs to consume too many resources, and the reason why the current tower of sun seems to be easy is that there are not many mages trained in Patrick's hands, and he cannot form a standard combat mage legion.
……
These things need to be precipitated over time, but Patrick believes that eventually the traveling mages and apprentices will find a sense of home in the City of Daylight, which is more vibrant and imposing than Silvermoon City.
"Let's leave it to the council." Aurelia thought for a moment and gave the same answer as Patrick: "I will forward this report to the Council through the channel of Ranger Command, and let the Council make a decision. You can present it to the king and the council through the passage of the Mage Guild, so that they can plan ahead, and even have them send strategic supplies to the front line in advance. ”
Aurelia and Patrick thought the same thing, leaving it to the people above, but it was more detailed and thorough than Patrick's thoughts, and it was completely in line with Patrick's ideas.
He just wants to rely on the City of Sunshine to slowly grow bigger and stronger in the Land of Ghosts, accumulate supplies, absorb personnel, these things are not a day's work, if the City of Sunshine avoids the threat that he is about to face, and it is Patrick's first plan to save it after the Great War.
The Floating City is only the first step, after all, with the Floating City, in terms of defense, there is a great guarantee, and there is less threat from the ground forces, which allows Patrick to gather a large number of elves for his own use after World War II and World War III, and at the same time reduce the casualties of civilians in the war.
Truth be told, the whole of Quel'Thalas has been weak for a long time since the Troll War, arrogant and self-conscious, and full of elven civilians. Patrick had been wondering what was it that made Quel'Salas powerless by the undead in World War III, and was it just because of Frost's Grief? And add Darkan's betrayal?
Everything may not be, the high elves are too confident in their own protective barriers, and they are very superstitious about those so-called councils, but they don't know that the mages of the council who only rely on the energy of the sun well have pitiful combat experience, and they take all the energy quota of the sun well to absorb, improve their own strength, and are indifferent to other things.
There is only one way to develop, but the result of perdition is the result of many intertwined causes and events.
Patrick was thinking, and finally, Aurelia didn't forget to add fuel and vinegar to the last sentence, pulling Patrick's thoughts back: "The trolls are attacking the kingdom of Quel'Thalas, aren't they?" ”
Patrick was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted: "That's right, the trolls are attacking the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas. We can make the kingdom decide, and then see how the council reacts, and as for the entire city of sun, we need to put an end to the elements that can threaten the floating city. ”
Patrick tapped the elf's nose, she was a clever elf, "Even if something goes wrong, the decision-maker is only the Silvermoon Council, and we've done everything we can to remedy it." ”
The elf was very useful, but then she thought, "Aren't you also a council member?" Are you not afraid that your prestige will be damaged? ”
"What's there to worry about, I'm not like those councilors who huddle in Silvermoon City all day, Floating City is our core."
……
Patrick's order was quickly passed on, and all the elves were busy once again for their lord.
Patrick knew that the trolls' movements were just the beginning, and then the horde army led by Orgrim was killed, and went all the way north, and after reaching the Valley of the Golden Branch, Gul'dan told Orgrim to take some defensive rune stones, and then left Quel'Thalas, and went straight to the king of Lordaeron to the west.
The efficiency of the entire floating city is very efficient, thanks to the evaluation system set up by Patrick, there is a clear rule that inaction is also a kind of malfeasance, any official who does not act, will be reduced to the level of administrative personnel, so that those elves who do not seek merit but seek no fault at the same time, it also makes the administrative processing in the floating city extremely efficient.
Aurelia had already prepared one of Patrick's subordinate Standing Committee, Garind Charlon, to prepare for the battle, and with the banner of the Windranger, it would not be a problem to command the Ranger troops, and the Ranger Elves, who were supposed to be at the carnival ball, returned to camp and prepared for battle.
Now it just has to wait until the parliament or the king gives the bill,
