Chapter 321: Exposed?
Before Xie Feng could stop it, a crimson magic fireball shot out from the scroll and exploded violently in the sky!
Not far away, the Forsaken and the Scarlet Crusaders, who were fighting hard, paused in unison, and looked back at Xie Feng and Silentis who were standing behind them.
"Everybody continue, we're just passing by, passing by~" A certain knight faced the green pupils of the large forsaken, smiled wryly, turned the horse's head after speaking, and headed to the northwest to the dust~ The forsaken assassination team and the blood-colored crusader looked at each other, and looked up at the fire element in the sky that had not yet dissipated, and I didn't know which two goods took the lead, and suddenly there was a piece of flesh and blood
After running away and making sure that no one was chasing after him, Xie Feng grabbed the reins and glared at Sirendis angrily: "Why didn't you forget to throw fireballs in their battle group just now?" Fun, isn't it? ”
Sirendis blinked innocently: "Those are the Forsaken~ They shouldn't attack you, isn't there no one chasing you?" ”
Xie Feng was speechless. This is an assassination! Even if the Forsaken are allies, who can guarantee that they will not choose to kill people in order to prevent leaks? In this way, you dare to blatantly ventilate, "Do you think Demytia can escape?" Seeing that Xie Feng was silent, Sirendis continued to ask, "And where are we going now?" Watchtower, or to the chapel? ”
"Chapel! As for Demytia, whether she can escape or not depends on her own luck, and we have helped her anyway, and she is worthy of the Scarlet Crusaders! As he spoke, he changed direction and turned towards the East Wall Tower.
If it was normal times, although Sirendis would also not let Xie Feng worry, he would not be as ignorant as he is now, let alone take risks for the sake of the Scarlet Crusaders, who had nothing to do with it.
Now this kind of personality change, Xie Feng can only be summed up as she feels uneasy after the warrior loses her ability to cast spells, so she is a little eager to prove her worth. Although she also knew that Xie Feng would not give up on himself because of these.
With this kind of understanding, coupled with the unexpected situation just now, Xie Feng became more cautious, and instead of directly passing through the chapel from the Demon Blade Trace, he chose the relatively safer road of circumambulating the East Wall Watchtower.
The rest of the road did not encounter any accidents, and the two came to the east wall guard tower safely.
A few days ago, he and Jorad and Darien finalized the Battle of Northvalley, and at this time, nearly 4,000 Silver Dawn soldiers had gathered here, plus the original defenders, a total of 5,000 troops.
Xie Feng received Xie Feng and the two of them was a paladin lieutenant here, and Xie Feng learned from him that Colfax, the garrison officer here, had just left the watchtower with five hundred knights, and the direction was exactly where the Forsaken and the Scarlet Crusaders had fought fiercely!
Xie Feng was a little speechless. I don't know whether to say that Demytia is lucky, or whether to sarcastically say that Colfax has muscles in his head, and any signal magic can make him throw down a large number of subordinates and his own station and run over to join in the fun
At this time, if there is a natural disaster legion, the leaderless east wall guard tower is mostly fierce and unlucky, even if it can hold out to the chapel reinforcements, at least nearly half of the casualties will be killed. I don't know why Maxwell and Eregor are so relieved about Colfax~ But these are not within Xie Feng's consideration, it seems that the relationship is good, but he is not good at the elders of the sick Silver Dawn, and the safety of Tokolfax's impulsive blessing and Demithia can basically be guaranteed, which is beneficial to Xie Feng's future Scarlet Crusade strategy!
After a short pause, the two of them asked for a small group of silver warriors from the paladin lieutenant to act as a guard, and set off for the chapel.
Speaking of which, the location of the Holy Light Wish Chapel has always made Xie Feng feel very entangled, the poisonous woodland across the mountain to the north is also a gathering place for the elite of the Scourge, as long as one or two dead horses or lichs appear there, within half an hour, there will be a large number of Scourge soldiers in front of the chapel, as well as the marks of the magic blades blocking the door and a large number of undead who are no less than the traces of the plague inside, so that everyone who enters and leaves the chapel feels scared, and Maxwell has no plans to clear these two Scourge strongholds so far
"This is what you call a knight's sanctuary? It doesn't feel good, even Eresalas is not as good~" Sirendis looked at the dilapidated and old buildings around her and the silver warriors who frequently smiled at Xie Feng, and pouted.
Xie Feng nodded solemnly. Those who don't know the history and reality of this place will never imagine the true horror of the Chapel of Light's Wish!
Hundreds of paladins and heroic spirits who died fighting the Scourge are buried here, and if attacked, the Scarlet Crusaders and Silver Dawn can work together to protect it at all costs, and it can also draw out the remnants of the Knights of the Silver Hand who survived the Battle of Lordaeron at Dusk like Jorald! And now, the arrival of the alliance has added another layer of security here, and it is precisely because of knowing this, Xie Feng dares to blatantly calculate natural disasters, and he is not afraid of the great counterattack after Kel'thugad's rage! But now I really can't say anything to Silendis, so I can only pretend to be mysterious and confidently smile: "After a while, you will know how terrifying this place is!" ”
After saying that, Sirendis pouted with disdain and pulled her straight to the chapel in the center of the camp. Along the way, every silver soldier who saw Xie Feng, regardless of race, put down their work and saluted with respectful and adoring eyes, which made Xie Feng's heart feel very comfortable.
Eighty percent of these warriors wore the armor provided by Silver Moon City, although they reluctantly painted the original gorgeous blood-red armor with a nondescript layer of silver paint because of the different military uniforms, but it could still be seen from the style that the heavy blood elf style was strong. These simple warriors will not forget the truth of drinking water and thinking about the source, coupled with the fact that the battle of Kaolin and the battle of Naxxramas have been more or less spread, they naturally respect and even worship Xie Feng, the 'hero'.
In this atmosphere, all the way into the house, Maxwell was sitting at the head of the round conference table as usual, talking to several other generals dressed in silver dawn, and when he saw Xie Feng coming, he actually smiled and got up to greet him
"Alex, we were talking about you, I didn't expect you to come so soon~" As he spoke, he turned his head and bowed slightly to Silentis, who was honestly staying next to Xie Feng, and said with a smile: "Ms. Silentis, I wish you a speedy recovery!" ”
"Thank you very much~" Sirendis replied with a very elegant and dignified salute. Xie Feng was not polite at all, walked over directly, pulled out two chairs, sat together, and then said, "Are you talking about me?" Hopefully it's not a bad topic."
Glancing around at the crowd, the silver commander Erigor, Father Innigo, the dwarf Blue, and the craftsman Wilhelm, as well as a middle-aged strange human with a majestic look in his eyebrows: "Tell me about it?" This is the one who is."
"I was about to say it~" Maxwell smiled and stretched out his hand to the human: "Duke Nicholas Sørenhoff of Stormwind City, he just came here some time ago, but he is now our brother of Silver Dawn~"
Xie Feng smiled and nodded at him, the Silver Dawn uniform had already indicated his identity, this should be the person who spoke to the Alliance and Stormwind City in the Silver Dawn. It is also said that the Scarlet Crusaders have some connection to Stormwind, and have even sent emissaries, or this one has a part-time job at the Hand of Tyr
"Hello, General Alex!" Duke Serenhof stood up, smiled across the conference table and stretched out his hand to Xie Feng: "I have great admiration for your deeds in the Land of the Cursed and the Land of Plagues!" I'm also very curious about your deeds~"
As the biggest talkers of the Alliance and the Horde in the Silver Dawn, the two can guarantee that the two sides are friends and foes, but they don't stretch out their hands to hit the smiling person, the other party is so good, and Xie Feng is not too hostile. Fortunately, Xie Feng is not the former Wuxia Ameng, with too much talk about high-level politics, he can barely practice a two-skin face, a smiling expression comes as soon as he says, and he is also very good to get up and hold the other party's hand, and just about to say two compliments that even he feels disgusted by, Serenhoff's next sentence made him suddenly change color
"By the way, it seems that that Madias guy is also very interested in your command in the Arathi Highlands and the Hillsbrad Hills" said and continued to stare at Xie Feng, the smile on his face did not change at all, worthy of the noble duke from Stormwind City!
Hearing the word Madias, Xie Feng felt a sudden feeling in his heart for no reason, it was not good news to be targeted by this spy chief, and the next words pushed Xie Feng's temperament to the bottom.
What he said was Xie Feng's command, not performance, which means that the general of Stormwind City has basically determined that the main messenger of the plague war is himself! Even if Serenhoff is bombing himself now, sooner or later the truth will be found out by those pervasive MI7 agents. And the change in his expression just now is already considered not to be a self-confession!
No matter what the purpose is, anyway, Serenhoff definitely didn't have any good intentions, Xie Feng didn't bother to continue to argue with him, and said with the same smile: "Thank you for the compliment!" In addition, please tell Madias"
"I am also very curious and even admire the deeds of King Varian's life, especially his encirclement and suppression of the Great Artisan Alliance! I can't wait to see this great leader as Soladin the Great with my own eyes! Can he provide some clues? ”
Now it was Duke Serenhof's turn to turn pale. Xie Feng said this mercilessly, it was simply a slap in the face! MI7 spies are almost pervasive on the mainland, making all forces change their colors, but it is a great shame that such a top-level intelligence organization has lost its own king, and has been looking for it for so long without any news! In addition, Xie Feng's so-called worship of Varian is even more nonsense, the incident of the Great Artisan Alliance has caused the reputation of human nobles to plummet, Varian not only gained a reputation for brutality, and even his own queen was put into it, but the counterattack of Van Cleeff and the Defia Brotherhood directly made Stormwind's largest production area, the Western Wilderness, abandoned, and this reputation can be compared to Soladin the Great?
"I know" Seeing that the two of them were in a tense fight before they finished speaking, Maxwell suddenly covered his head and smiled bitterly. Although the two dwarves were in the same alliance, they looked at the Silver Moon City wine provided by Xie Feng in their hands, scratched their heads, and found a corner to blow without saying a word. Erigor shrugged his shoulders very simply and whispered to Father Innigo next to him, "How is it?" Alex really made a fuss, right?! Three packs of Ratchet City Special Cigarettes~"
Xie Feng ignored the panting Threnhoff, turned his head to Maxwell and asked with a puzzled expression: "Speaking of which, all the dukes of Stormwind City can join Silver Dawn, and I, the little viscount of Silvermoon City, should be fine, right?" ”
Maxwell was speechless. With your current reputation, even if I have to refuse, can the silver warriors outside agree? What's more, there is also the relationship between Lao Fuding~ He smiled helplessly and said: "Of course it's no problem, if you want"
Tilting his head and thinking about it for a long time, Xie Feng still shook his head and said: "Forget it, I can't be dragged in the plague land all the time, so I won't trouble you later, let's talk about it later, let's talk about what topic you were talking about just now?" ”
"Whatever you want~" Maxwell barely lifted his mood and persuaded the panting Duke of Sørenhoff to sit down, and then said: "I was talking about the strategy of clearing the North Valley just now, and there is basically no problem on the side of Silver Dawn, I was about to ask you to come over and discuss it in detail." ”
What else is there to talk about? A group of rabble is not considered cannon fodder for the Catastrophe, and even if two Abominable Banshee Gargoyles pop up once in a while, it won't be long before Silver Dawn agrees to send troops.
"Since you agree, let's talk about the specific action time~"
Erigor interrupted with a wave of his hand: "It's not as simple as you think, you don't understand the situation at all!" Some time ago, it would have been easy to unplug it while we were opening up the transportation line, but now it's not that simple. ”
After a pause, he slowly said in Xie Feng's puzzled eyes: "The key to the problem is in the poisonous woodland!" Before the Battle of Kaureen, we had been under the pressure of the Scourge all the time, and during this time, all the strongholds in the Plaguelands except for Naxxramas and Stratholm, such as Blackwood Lake, Cowling Crossing, Daron County, North Vale, Mushroom Valley, Poison Woodland, and the four watchtowers, were in the hands of a Cursed Sect Grand Lich, the one who was defeated in the Battle of Kaureen! ”
"Before you and the Forsaken entered the Plaguelands, that lich had been haunting the poisonous woodlands, gathering a large number of Cursed Cultists, dark mages, etc., threatening the safety of the Chapel, and even besieging us with a large number of undead from time to time~ The Marks of the Demon Blade and the Scourge of the Chatan are her soldiers! Several battles、We didn't succeed in what she did。 However, some time before you sent someone to contact us, the lich suddenly disappeared in the poisonous woodland, and the cursed mages and cultists she gathered were also much quieter, and they no longer dared to come to the chapel to die, and because of this, we had a little respite, and with the material assistance of Silvermoon City, this situation was now! Otherwise, we will be threatened by the poisonous woodland, and we will not dare to start the battle of Kaulin~"
"But after the battle of Kaurin, the lich didn't know if he fled to Stratholm or Naxxramas, and the cursed cultists and scourge mages in the poisonous woodlands poured into the North Vale, which means that we are not facing a rabble now!"
"In order to monitor the movements of the North Valley, Colfax stationed a full 5,000 troops in the East Wall Guard Tower~"
Xie Feng was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned. Unexpectedly, the Dead Whisperer was actually the commander of the scattered natural disasters of the Eastern Plague, and had been threatening the safety of the chapel
"In that case, we should raze Kitaya before the catastrophe strikes back! Otherwise, when the big war begins, it will definitely be a mortal threat! Whether it's for the Northland Watchtower or the Chapel! ”
As soon as the words fell, Duke Serenhof sneered: "This is not necessarily! Kitan has always been a threat to the Chapel, whether it was before or now, in the Great Counterattack, it is just a natural disaster with more troops! ”
"Hehe~" Xie Feng smiled: "But Beigu has never posed any threat to me!" The catastrophe strikes back, and if there is really no way to deal with it, I can completely retreat from the land of ghosts and occupy the valley to defend it! But do you dare to give up the chapel as your only base? ”
Max Velloin frowned, a little eagerly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Alex, don't tell me that I have always had this plan!" "It's hard enough to face the natural calamity army, and if the blood elves are retreating, the consequences will be unimaginable
Xie Feng rolled his eyes helplessly: "If I had this plan earlier, would I have used to care about Beigu's threat?" "Although I have always had such a plan in my heart, I can't just say it, right?
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper," Maxim said apologetically in the face of Xie Feng's slightly unhappy expression. Thinking about it, if the blood elves really had the plan to retreat, they really didn't need to waste their troops in the North Valley, and the current Silver Moon City could not afford him to squander it.
Erigor continued: "The battle of Kaulin and the battle of Naxxramas this time, I have gathered almost all the forces that can be squeezed out and brought them over, and most of the silver warriors are exhausted by this time, and need a period of rest before they can fight again, therefore"
"So what?" Erigor, who has always been bold and unruly, was actually a little stumbling at this time, and even his face was slightly red, which made Xie Feng very curious.
Serenhoff had already fallen out with Xie Feng anyway, and he was not afraid of offending him again, so he said directly: "Let me tell you!" Due to the influx of Cursed Cultists into Northvalley, it was clear that the expected number of troops was not enough, and the battle was not going to end anytime soon. Silver Dawn can't draw too many people for the time being, so I hope that the blood elves can send more warriors in the early stage, and after a while, the silver warriors will go to the battlefield one after another."
Xie Feng was slightly stunned, and when he understood the meaning of Sellenhoff's words, he almost burst out of anger: "What about your TM entertainment?" The Northland Guard Tower has a total of 7,000 troops, and now it has taken out 4,000, and you still want me to increase the troops? Will you show me the Northland Watchtower? ”
Duke Serenhof frowned and continued: "This is also a helpless thing, the number of natural disasters in the North Valley is already huge, plus the command of the Cursed Cultists, six or seven thousand people are not opponents at all!" So I can only trouble you."
"Six or seven thousand? Isn't the watchtower on the east wall made up of 5,000 men? With my army and the adventurers who have been mobilized, there should be more than 10,000 people, right? This time, even Sirendis was puzzled and looked at Xie Feng in confusion.
"The East Wall Watchtower can't all the troops, and it also needs to be prepared for natural disasters in the highly toxic woodland, at most 2,000 men," Erigor blushed slightly, nodded to Sylendis and explained.
Xie Feng was noncommittal about his explanation, but he had already sneered and even scolded in his heart.
Silver Dawn has at least 40,000 elite warriors, and although the two major battles have indeed consumed a lot, but with the subsequent additions, there are now 30,000 people, right? It's possible that these people will be tired from fighting one after another, but before the arrival of the Blood Elves and the Forsaken, Nima had already fought with the Scarlet Crusaders for several years, and he still survived? Didn't they say that the soldiers were tired and wanted to rest for a while? Also, with an army of 30,000 and an elite army with a large number of priests and paladins, in the face of natural disasters, morale will definitely be high, and even mobilization will be saved, how can it be impossible to even pick out thousands of combatable soldiers? Was this the defeat of the Scourge or the defeat of the Silver Dawn? Look at the Duke of Serenhof sitting there next to the old god, everything is already clear.
Since entering the Plaguelands, the Blood Elves have changed their previous style of fearing enemies and avoiding war, but they have performed extremely active and outstanding, not only gaining the approval of the Queen King and a lot of positive prestige, but even the tribe has taken the limelight at the negotiating table! If these are all blood elf warriors in exchange for their lives, forget it, no one can say anything. But the key problem is that even the big battle, the blood and silver dawns are all broken, and the forsaken are not bad, but the watchtower and blood elves that seem to be on the front line have not lost three hundred people in full battle, how can this make others not blush? If Varian or Bolval were in power, they would definitely choose to send troops to the Plaguelands and compete fairly on the battlefield in the face of natural disasters!
But now in power, it is the nobles led by Ms. Presto, and most of the humans are already hostile to the tribes led by orcs, and it is understandable that some people are stumbling behind the violation of principles. If Madias really knew that Xie Feng was the mastermind of the plague war, this move would be even more natural
Thinking of this, Xie Feng deliberately frowned, pretending to be reluctant to suppress his anger, and kept tapping with his left hand on the table, as if he was hesitating about this proposal.
In the eyes of others, this was naturally Xie Feng's hesitation, but Silendis, who knew him very well, didn't think much of it
Thinking about Xie Feng's style all along, he has never compromised since the beginning of the ghost land! Tarummere, and even for the sake of the rangers under his command, and the high-ranking people of Silvermoon City, including the top bosses, how could they consume their warriors for nothing because of these outsiders? And with his rigid character, it is possible to draw a knife against each other without saying a word, how can he still sit here and desperately suppress his anger?
If something is abnormal, it is a demon, and there is only one possibility for Xie Feng to act like this: he has started to calculate some people again!
Thinking of this, Sirendis, who was still a little curious, immediately looked at her nose and nose and didn't say a word, but she made up her mind in her heart that she must listen to Xie Feng's plans from beginning to end after she went out.
Sirendis was right, this time Xie Feng is indeed still calculating the Silver Dawn!
"A thousand blood knights, four thousand rangers, plus five thousand adventures, this is a total of 10,000 people, this is the limit of my troops!" After hesitating for a moment and finding that Erigor was a little unbearable to say something to redeem himself, Xie Feng was a little startled, and hurriedly 'gritted his teeth', exhausted all his strength, and said with difficulty. "If that's the case, there will only be two thousand defenders left in the Northland Guard Tower, and I need you to provide the most accurate information about the Scourge in order to deal with their possible attack at any time!"
"No problem! Blood Elves can share all the intel we have about the Scourge! Erigor, who was already guilty, immediately said.
"I hope you can do what you say!" Xie Feng glanced coldly at Duke Sellenhof, and did not look at Eregor and Maxwell, and said:
"This may be the last time I command the Blood Elves of the Plaguelands! Pray that the next general will be my man! Otherwise"
After saying that, he got up and pulled Sirendis out of the chapel without looking back, and no longer looked for silver warriors as escorts, and rode straight through the camp in pairs, heading northwest to the dust.
"Satisfied now? Don't you think that's too much? Seeing that he had completely separated from Xie Feng and the blood elf Chen Feng and the family he represented, Erigor, who had a more straightforward personality, immediately whispered to Serenhoff and asked.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Serenhoff's eyes, but he retorted without flinching: "You can also see his reaction just now, the plague battle in Hillsbrad can basically be determined to be done by him!" Madias was right."
"Just the judgment of the sewer rat head?" The good old man Maxwell also burst into flames: "Do you know what it means for blood elves to join the war?" Do you know how many warriors' lives have been saved by Silvermoon City's supplies? ”
"It's an indisputable fact that the blood elves still have combat power, but if the only Chenfeng clan that is actively participating in the battle is also hit by the persecution of the allies, do you still expect Lotherma to send reinforcements? In the face of natural disasters, we are not the first to bear the brunt of the disaster, not Stormwind! ”
Erigor also sneered: "What position is Alex in the Battle of Hills?" What strength? Why should the Forsaken give him command? Instead of dwelling on it, why don't you wonder why the Ninth Legion is in the hills and highlands? ”
Sellenhoff was also a little unbearable, and said angrily: "You believe in that blood elf like that? Just trust your eyesight? ”
Maxwell sneered: "I may not be able to believe my own eyesight, but the judgment of another person and what he has done make me have to believe it!" ”
(To be continued)
