Chapter 338: True Intentions (Part II)
Hearing that Patrick was going to officially launch an attack on the undead, Salorian directly took the initiative to ask and took over the task of cleaning up the natural disaster.
The problem of the offensive was solved, but there was still a force in the Northland Watchtower that needed a leader in the army.
Patrick glanced at everyone present, and suddenly spotted his old acquaintance, Aurelia's lieutenant, Hawksbill, who was of great strength and prestige among the Far Wanderer troops, and since he was also Aurelia's lieutenant, he was also able to intimidate the ranger officers who served the Windranger family.
As if seeing Patrick's direct gaze, Hawksbill also understood: "The regent is planning to send me to the Eastern Plaguelands?" ”
Patrick nodded in confirmation: "Come to think of it, I think you are the most suitable person." ”
"It's finally my turn to show off my skills!" Hawksbill has long wanted to go out to fight, watching his colleagues go out to fight one by one, the Battle of Eredani, the Battle of Keldaron Island, the Battle of Silisus, ......, Hawksbill is fading out of the bird in Quel'Thalas.
"I need you to lead the troops into the Eastern Plague Lands and establish a camp in the Northland Watchtower, and at the same time I will ask the Magister Legion to send mages to change the Northland Watchtower into a mage tower, and the rebuilt Northland Watchtower will not only serve as a place for our soldiers, but also take into account the functions of trade, life and other functions, so as to facilitate our human exchanges with Lordaeron, and in the future, the completed Northland Watchtower will become the territory of Quel'Salas, and you will be responsible for guarding it."
This will be the third Patrick-led expansion of Quel'Thalas's territory, and although that area was once the province of Miradar in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, it will later become the territory of Quel'Thalas.
If it's just a camp, it's still not safe enough, the rebuilt Northland Sentinel Tower is like a lonely island, and the plague land, although it is backed by the Elven Gate, it is still full of dangers.
"And that's not enough, in the valley west of the Elven Gate, you also have to make use of it." The arcane light in Patrick's hand shines on the map, this is the Quirlinth Hut in the previous life, but now, Hawksbill is not exiled, so there are no elven buildings yet. "This valley, with its precipitous terrain and high position, is a natural military base, and as a cornerstone, build a military base to protect the Northland watchtower ahead, and continue to expand the influence of Quel'Thalas in the Eastern Plaguelands."
"And what about the troll's territory, Zumashal? Are we going to storm it too? Hawksbill knew Patrick, after all, the two had fought side by side in the morning.
"Zumashal left him alone until the battle of Stratholme, and their problems will be left until after the battle of Stratholme." Patrick said something that he didn't understand.
"Why? Even if we only attack Stratholme by water, the Scarlet Crusaders will still send troops to the Northland Watchtower, then turn into the Sick Wood and point their swords at Stratholme, if we leave Zumashal's trolls alone, the trolls will attack us while the undead are harassing us, and it will cause us a lot of trouble. "Hawksbier is still a little worried about Zumashal, if he does, the construction of the new northland watchtower, Zumashal will definitely be cleared.
"No, even if the trolls are going to cause us trouble, we can't clean up Zumashar in advance. In the Eastern Plaguelands, the undead are everywhere, you don't need to go out to attack the undead, just hold your ground, and when the Scarlet Crusaders arrive, they will pause and recuperate their troops, and then send troops to Stratholme. The Eastern Plague Lands are full of dangers, and because of the Zumashar trolls behind us, we don't fight by land, and they can't do it. After all, we can't let the camp go unchecked, send troops to Stratholme, and immediately after the battle, you will send troops to clear the trolls of Zumashal, transform Zumashar into our military base as well, and open the passage between the two bases and the Northland watchtower, and at the same time have direct access to the Elven Gate. ”
"It is precisely because of this that no matter how quickly the situation on the battlefield changes, Zumashal will have to wait until after the Battle of Stratholme to clean it up."
So it was, Hawksbill didn't expect a simple time to send troops, and there were so many twists and turns inside, so he immediately received the order.
"Mattis." Patrick opened his mouth to call out the leader of the Flame Eagle Legion who had returned from the Outlands, Patrick had not yet met, and according to his past memories, he was an extremely unruly and stubborn general, and a die-hard member of the royal party.
“…… Lord Regent. "Mattis is very honest in front of Patrick, and when facing Haduron Mingyi and Lotheron Theron, Mattis will be rebellious on top of his head.
But it can't be that Mattis is dishonest, as early as the reign of Anastarian, Patrick has climbed to the highest center of power in Quel'Thalas, although Patrick is young, but no one in the entire Quel'Salas dares to underestimate this young executive director, and after becoming regent, Patrick's reputation has skyrocketed, even if Kael'thas is in Quel'Thalas, Patrick needs to maintain respect in the face of Patrick.
"I need the teleportation coordinates of Prince Kael'thas, and when the matter of Stratholme is over, the army sent will go directly to the Cursed Lands, to the Outlands, Quel'Salas has lost contact with the Outlands, and I must ensure the connection between the Kingdom and Prince Kael'thas."
What Patrick said was the next plan, before, Silvermoon City could still contact Kael'thas and even directly teleport some people to Kael'thas through a small teleportation circle to go to the outer regions, but after the last spatial turbulence, Silvermoon City completely lost contact with the prince. This time, Patrick set his sights on the Dark Gate in the Cursed Lands, which has been experiencing a lot of demonic activity recently, indicating that the Dark Gate may have been opened, and looking at all of Azeroth, there is no safer large portal than the Dark Gate.
"......," Mattis said, after a moment, "I ask the Lord Regent to allow me to go with me to the Outlands." ”
"Yes, but only after the Battle of Stratholme. First of all, I need to ensure the stability of the kingdom, and then plan for further development strategies, only then will Quel'Salas not repeat the mistakes of the past, and the invasion of natural disasters is the best example of the past. ”
