Infinite Heroes Seat

Vol 3 Chapter 33: The Hinterlands

"What are you talking about?! The Hinterlands found a large number of orcs landing! There are at least 30,000 in number?"

Duke Lothar’s shock came from the commander’s tent. At this time, the highest commander stood up directly from his seat and swayed back and forth with the collar of the messenger, seeming to want to confirm if the other party was right. The fake orcs are the same, for a knight, it can be regarded as a rare gaffe.

But no one of you sitting in the tent stopped him. On the contrary, whether it was these high elves, or the leader of the Wildhammer dwarves, Kurdran Wildhammer, everyone's expressions were a little ugly, and their heads were low and thoughtful. What's the matter, only Turalyon stepped forward and murmured a few words of comfort to Lothar, letting him let go of the poor messenger.

"Sorry!" Apologized to the messenger who was so frightened by him. Lothar quickly adjusted from the shock. He signaled the messenger to retreat, and then looked at the people present with solemn expression. Said: "Everyone, what do you guys do now?"

To be honest, this alliance can be said to have been played around by the Horde. From the Battle of Hillsbrad Hills at the beginning to the Hinterland landing now, these orcs have always done some unreasonable things, but But these things completely caused the entire league to fall into a passive state.

The Hinterlands are located on the east coast of Lordaeron, between the elven kingdom of Quel'Thalas and Arathi Highlands, which can be described as a strategic point. To the north, you can directly threaten the residence of the high elves, and to the south, you can invade the Arathi Highlands, hit the north and south, and open the Thador Bridge. To the west is facing Eagle's Nest Mountain, where the Wildhammer dwarves' only habitat in Lordaeron, even said. After crossing the Eagle’s Nest Mountain, the Horde’s front can still reach the hinterland of the human kingdom. It is no different from the situation in the Hillsbrad Hills. At most, it has to climb over one more Alterac Mountains, so the Alliance It is necessary to stop the orc army landing in the Hinterlands, otherwise the entire alliance may fall apart in an instant. After all, you can't ask the high elves and Wildhammer dwarves to be attacked in their hometowns. Also accompany you here to block the orcs.

But the key thing is not so simple. First of all, most of the main human races in Hillsbrad Hills must not be withdrawn. One is to guard against the 20,000 remaining orcs on the opposite side. On the other hand, at the speed of human pawns, it is impossible to stop the opponent in time, unless the 20,000 left-behind soldiers near the Sador Bridge are mobilized. But can these 20,000 people really move?

Although from the previous intelligence, the orc clan who crossed the border from the Dark Portal should not exceed the number of alliance troops in total. Tran's 30,000 orcs, the entire orcs should not have any remaining troops, but the key is the issue of intelligence! From the beginning of the war to the present, the intelligence department of the alliance has almost been blind, and no forecast has been accurate. It is really difficult for people to maintain confidence in the information they have collected before. Although it is because the entire southern part of the Eastern Kingdom has fallen, the incompetence of their intelligence department is also a fact. Without knowing the strength of the orcs, it is undoubtedly unwise to evacuate the soldiers stationed at the Sador Bridge. If even there are fallen, the entire alliance battlefield will be forced to become a fragile arc. The orc armies can concentrate their forces at any point to tear apart the defense of the Alliance, and no matter how bad they are, they can easily withdraw from the Thador Bridge. This is undoubtedly unacceptable to the entire alliance.

Secondly, there is a question of direction of support. When they arrived in the Hinterlands, were the Alliance forces blocked on the west road to the Eagle's Nest Mountain, or the north road of Quel'Thalas, or the south road of Arathi Highlands? You can't expect the orcs to stay near the shoreline while you are marching, like here in Hillsbrad Foothills, to be left in place! Orcs are not idiots either. They were too arrogant before, and wanted to wipe out the entire alliance force in one fell swoop, and then march forward calmly. This can be seen from their previous formation, but the orcs who have suffered a loss will never I underestimate the Alliance, so when the Alliance arrived, the Horde’s army must have left the Hinterland coastline, and the Alliance cannot be stationed in all places in the entire Hinterland, and can only choose defense based on its own judgment. If the direction is not good, it may be empty.

But this judgment is difficult. The three directions undoubtedly represent the interests of the three races in the alliance. Once they are said, it will undoubtedly lead to the division of the alliance. Everyone present is the leader of each race, so it is natural to see The pass in it was silent for a while.

After a while, Kurdran Wildhammer spoke first, and saw him in a rough voice, muffled and said: "Does this still need to be asked? Of course it is to support, and there are only 20,000 green skins left on the opposite side. Now, there is no need for us to stay here! With the footsteps of our Griffin Rider, it is estimated that we can stop the green-skinned monsters in most of the day!"

Wisely, he did not say the direction in which the rest of the troops should be reinforced. Because of the mobility of the Griffin Riders, they can actually come and support in any direction. The key is that the remaining locations of the ground troops are seemingly rough. But the Kudland Wildhammer's thoughts were also delicate, he didn't say anything, kicked the ball and stayed in place.

And Lothar also didn’t speak, but looked at Mo Wen with his eyes. For the Human Race, the best direction is naturally Arathi Highlands. There is Eagle’s Nest Mountain blocking the orcs’ westward road. He is actually not that much. Worrying about the problems of the human hinterland, even if the Wildhammer dwarves are wasteful, it is not difficult to drag them to support. Although it may cause the Wildhammer dwarves to lose more in the early stage, it can guarantee the safety of the human race and future victory, so as long as it is not He could actually accept the North Road of the High Elves.

It's just that Lothar was embarrassed to say these words. After all, the elves could be said to have been invited by him and Antonidas*. He was embarrassed to let these elves help them fight the orcs even though they didn't even care about their homes.

Behind Mo Wen, Alleria and Liadrin both looked angry. They were not stupid. Naturally, they could see the meaning of everyone present. They couldn't help but want to say something, but Mo Wen waved. Waved to stop them.

I saw him smile slightly, and said to Lothar and Kurdran: "Well, then so be it. Please, Lord Kurdran's Griffin Rider, go ahead and investigate the situation of the Hinterland Orcs, and then the rest of us The reinforcements should go to the vicinity of Eagle's Nest Mountain! In this way, the time will be enough to catch up. As for the Sador Bridge, I think that compared with the 20,000 troops, even if there is any danger, it will not last for a while. Will be defeated by the orcs!"

Lothar and Kurdran breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, but Alleria and Liadrin jumped up directly.

"--Your Highness!" The two yelled almost in unison, especially Alleria was extremely excited, knowing that her parents and the youngest sister still live in southern Quel'Thalas. The border too!

But Mo Wen shook his head and said something in a low voice. The two women sat down again. Although they still stared at Lothar and Kurdran viciously, they did not continue to object.

When Lothar and Kurdran saw this, one heart finally fell. Then Kurdran patted his chest, and solemnly said to Mo Wen: "His Royal Highness Kael'thas~www. wuxiamtl.com~Your kindness today, we wildhammer dwarves will surely remember, you will be our most honored friend!"

Before the overall situation is stable, the Wildhammer dwarves can still pretend to be stupid, but after the result is out, the dwarves' honest temper can't let them speak without conscience, so they immediately expressed their kindness.

And Lothar was the same on the other side. He sighed slightly and said the same: "His Royal Highness, this is our human error. I swear to you here if Quel'Thalas If we are really attacked, even if our human race sheds the last drop of blood, we will have to make the orcs pay the price!"

Mo Wen smiled lightly at the two excited faces, and then said: "Your Excellency Lothar, Your Excellency Kurdran, now is not the time to talk about these things, let's prepare early and send troops first!"

Perhaps in the eyes of Lothar and Kurdran, Mo Wen was sacrificing the interests of his own race in exchange for the overall situation, but is that really the case? (To be continued)
