Chapter 1092: The first strike is the strongest
The Scourge was once a subsidiary of the Burning Legion, and in the eyes of the Burning Legion at that time, the little brother of the Scourge was pitifully weak.
The demons would never have imagined that cannon fodder would have the courage to rebel against themselves and put it into action.
Taking advantage of the Burning Legion's major setbacks in this world, and its own continuous growth and growth in the war, Naozu betrayed the Burning Legion and stood on his own.
It was the betrayal of the Scourge that led to Kil'Gardan's attack on Naozu and the formation of the Frozen Throne.
The Burning Legion has learned from the past, how could Leo make the same mistake?
In the Northern Rift Northrend, the Scourge Legion is a snake compared to the Alliance Expeditionary Force, and they are all too familiar with this continent covered with ice and snow all year round, who can rest assured that such an enemy is behind them?
Leo and the others have two choices, the first is to ignore the Titan ruins of the Stormcrag and concentrate on destroying the Scourge Legion; The second option is to put aside the Scourge for the time being, explore the prison where Yogsaron is imprisoned, and if you're unlucky, you'll have to fight the Lord of a Thousand Throats.
Anyone knows what to do.
The persimmon has to pick up the soft pinch, the successive rebellions of Sarein and the Knights of the Black Blade have greatly reduced the strength of the Scourge Legion, and this is the weakest period of its strength, if you don't take this opportunity to destroy it, do you want to give the Lich King a chance to make a comeback?
This time, the Lich King is finally no longer ignored by Leo, and the decisive battle with the Scourge is approaching.
What the?
You said that the Alliance's Northern Expeditionary Army was on Bloodmoon Island. To land on the Northrend continent, they have to enter the grizzly bear hills where millions of demons are infested?
All of you here are people who understand, who doesn't know what's in it, but everyone has an attitude - I know everything but I just don't say it.
The millions of demons in the Grizzly Hills will not only not be an obstacle to the Alliance's Northern Expeditionary Army, but will become their help, but whenever there is any dirty work such as running the ashes, Manolos will let these demons do it first, the so-called opening the way in the mountains. When it comes to water, it's nothing more than that.
"Exterminating the Scourge is a two-way strategy: the first is to start a war across Northrend. Wipe out all the undead scourge scattered throughout the Northern Rift. The disadvantages of this method are that it requires a large number of troops, takes a long time, and causes a lot of damage. For more exciting novels, please go to the parent-in-law novel network, which has the advantage of eliminating all the undead disasters without leaving any trouble. The second method is much simpler, capture the thief and capture the king, quickly open a passage to the frozen throne, and kill the Lich King in the shortest possible time. ”
At the military council on Blood Moon Island, everyone is debating the matter of exterminating the Scourge Legion.
In Leo's words, everyone is here, so why not stay a little longer. Destroy the Scourge and go back. Doing so not only dealt with the Scourge as an old enemy, but also showed the friendly side of the Alliance to the Guardian Dragons - lo and behold, our Alliance has done its best for your dragons, and the leaders of the various races of the Alliance have gathered thousands of miles to defeat the Scourge in Northrend, and to contrast with the Horde. You should know that it's better to be close to your own family.
What does it mean to follow the trend?
Here it is.
"We don't have that many troops to fight the Scourge in all of Northrend, the weather here doesn't have much effect on the undead, our warriors can't fight in the wind and snow for long periods of time, and with the long supply lines, even the forces of the entire alliance can't sustain a war of this magnitude."
Varian's words were supported by the other Alliance leaders, and the first choice really didn't leave much to come by. It can be said to be done once and for all, but the price paid for doing so is too great, even if Stormwind City, Fort Riptide, and Fort Ironforge have emptied their families, they may not be able to fill this bottomless pit, and the war is too long and there are too many variables, and no one wants to choose this path when there is a second option.
The cost of consumption is short, and the advantage of decapitation tactics makes the leaders of the alliance choose the second suggestion without hesitation.
As for the trouble, it is also the troubles of the continent of Northrend, and it has its own Dragon Sleep Temple to solve it. Even the dwarves in the North Rift, which is shrouded in ice and snow all year round, don't want to stay longer, and if they kill the Lich Queen, the alliance will withdraw their troops, and those restless undead disasters will give the dragons a headache.
Doesn't the dragon often say that he is noble, doesn't the dragon think that he is powerful and despises us, we mortals have killed the Lich King, and the noble and powerful dragon can't deal with a plate of scattered undead?
Northrend is not the territory of any race in the alliance, and of course they don't have to worry about the aftermath, they don't have so many scruples when they do things, and how to be efficient.
"Now that we've all agreed to deal directly with the Lich King, let's discuss how to attack Icecrown Fortress."
Leo secretly observed Gianna during the negotiation, and found that the Lord of Theramore did not have the slightest objection, which made Leo very satisfied.
Gianna did not oppose or speak for the dragon, but considered the problem from the standpoint of the human race and even the alliance, indicating that this woman's heart is still towards the human race.
With two flicks of his fingers, a map of Northrend floated in the air under the input of Leo's magic power, pointing to an island to the east of the map, Leo said: "This island is the Blood Moon Island we are on now, from the Blood Moon Island to the Icecrown Fortress, we must cross the entire Grizzly Hills from east to west into the Dragonbone Wilderness, then go north deep into the middle of the Crystal Song Forest, and then march all the way to the northwest to break through the layers of defenses set up by the Scourge Legion, so that we can kill under the Icecrown Fortress." ”
Leo said, sliding his finger across the map.
"I have estimated that aside from the distance from the Eastern Continent to Northrend, there are thousands of miles from Bloodmoon Island to the Crystal Song Forest alone, and it is not bad when it comes to the Grizzly Bear Hills, and the environment of the Dragon Bone Wilderness and the Crystal Song Forest is not suitable for our warriors to survive, so the logistical pressure will be great."
The Dragonbone Wilderness is an endless land of ice and snow, and the Crystal Song Forest is full of all kinds of alienated energy, for humans, dwarves and other races, these two places are by no means good places, one will die if you don't pay attention, even if you are fully prepared, there will be non-combat attrition when the alliance army passes through these two places, and no commander will be happy to see such a thing happen.
To make matters worse, the alliance does not yet have a suitable supply point on this long front.
"So, my opinion is that we can't choose this path."
Leo's finger retracted and landed back on the Grizzly Bear Hills, and suddenly, his fingers moved up and landed squarely on the land directly north of the Grizzly Bear Hills.
Zudak!
"This is the kingdom of the frost trolls of Dakale, the kingdom of Zuldrak, look at its location, its north is the Storm Cliffs, and to the west it borders the Crystal Song Forest, and near its junction with the Crystal Song Forest and the Dragonbone Wilderness, the trolls have also established a fortress city - Dakron."
Varian's eyes lit up, and the king of the Stormwind Kingdom understood what Leo meant when he pointed his finger at Zudak.
"Do you want to capture the Dakron Fortress first, as a support point for your march into the Crystal Song Forest? With the temper of the trolls, we have taken their city, and they will not rest on their laurels. ”
Clearly, Varian was still hesitant, not afraid of the Dakale Frost Troll, but afraid of trouble. After all, the Alliance Expeditionary Force is not as familiar with this place as the Frost Trolls, and they may not be able to take advantage of the fact that they really want to fight. Besides, the Alliance Northern Expeditionary Force came to Northrend to deal with the Scourge Legion, and there was no need to provoke the Zurdrak Kingdom.
Leo understood Varian's concerns, and since he had raised them, he was sure to convince him.
"If we don't strike first, Zudak will become the domain of the Horde, King Varian, and don't forget the Dark Spear Clan, you should have heard of how quickly Woking and his men expanded. Do you think the Darkspear clan, bent on integrating the troll forces and restoring the glory of the troll empire, will leave Zudak alone? The power of the Dakale Frost Trolls cannot be ignored even if they are placed in the entire troll. ”
If the Darkspear Troll takes possession of Zudak first, wouldn't the Alliance have to go around the Dragonbone Wilderness and the Crystal Song Forest if they want to enter the Storm Cliff in the future?
Even the tribe will take advantage of their geographical advantage after occupying Zudak to intervene in the storm cliffs.
When it comes to the ruins of the Titans and the prison of Yogsaron, who dares to be careless?
Varian didn't answer, and he began to weigh the pros and cons repeatedly, and Magni and Cardros and the others were not idle, and the two dwarves gathered together and whispered to each other.
Leo gave Kael'thas a look, the blood elves want a piece of the pie in this matter, how can Kael'thas not do his best?
I wanted to pretend that I didn't see the look that Leo gave him, but Kael'thas couldn't turn his heart into action. The Blood Elf Prince had no choice but to stand up and express his support for Leo's plan: "I agree with Leo's proposal to give Quel'Thalas the greatest support in attacking Dakron. ”
Even Kael'thas, an outsider who doesn't belong to the Alliance, would be too much to say if Varian didn't make a statement, even though they knew that Alaso and Quel'Salas were now glued and too good to wear a pair of pants, but if they could really get the help of the Blood Elves, it wouldn't be too difficult to deal with the Dakale Frost Trolls.
Seeing that Varian and the others were moved, Leo added another heavyweight weight: "Dakron's fortress may not need us to attack it ourselves, maybe the demons of the Burning Legion have already taken it before we take action, and with the demons' eagerness to find the Lich King, they may not be in Dakron." ”
yes, how did we forget about those millions of demons in Grizzly Hills!
"If that's the case, I don't object, with the demon's violent and bloodthirsty nature, it is unknown that the kingdom of Zuldrak will be destroyed at their hands."
Varian has shown his ruthless side as the lord of a country, and since he has decided to take action against Zudak, Q
