.
The previous envoys from Lordaeron, Garithos' group, had only left for a few days. Sohan, the current commander-in-chief of the Silver Hand, this paladin led an elite force of nearly 3,000 people to the Flame Gorge again.
The purpose of their coming here this time is to fulfill the agreement they made with the fire elements last time, to escort the refugees from Lordaeron stranded in the Valley of Fire to the Hand of Tire, which they control.
In their view, compared to the Flame Canyon, Tyr's Hand is more suitable for refugees to live. The conditions there are favorable, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Grand Canyon leading into Tyr's Hand is more and more crowded than this Flame. The canyon is much wider. After these refugees move there, they will definitely have enough living space.
But what Dathrohan couldn't figure out was why a small half of the people were still unwilling to leave with them?
You know, he had already gone to the refugee camp to mobilize, and sent some eloquent soldiers to the refugee camp to preach how safe the Hand of Tyr they were guarding was, and also ensured that during the escort, the three thousand of them Elite soldiers will ensure their safety.
But until now, among the nearly 10,000 Lordaeron refugees here, only less than 6,000 Lordaeron refugees are willing to leave with them, and the remaining 4,000 people have no intention of leaving at all. of.
No matter how much his soldiers tried to persuade or guarantee, these people were still unwilling to leave. They even reclaimed farmland here, and some even started new families. It seemed that they planned to stay like this for a long time. Settled here.
This situation gave Dassohan a headache. He only had two days at most to allow the refugee gate to make various preparations before relocation. For example: luggage that needs to be packed in advance, grouping before departure, and drinking water and dry food needed along the way, etc.
After all, relocating refugees is a complex task, especially with nearly 10,000 people moving now! Besides, the refugees are not an army, and their migration is not a march to fight. From Dassohan's point of view, the marching speed will not be much faster anyway.
For their regular army, the round trip only takes three or two days, but for these refugees, it would take at least ten days and a half!
If it weren't for the fact that the number of undead in the Eastern Plague Land had become surprisingly low recently, Dathrohan might not have dared to take on such an arduous escort task, even if there were reinforcements on the way, even if it was far away from here. The Hand of Tyr is not too far away!
As for the return route in two days, Dathrohan and the others had already completed the survey when they came here. After all the preparations were in place, they led the team out of the canyon and walked directly to the southeast. After passing the Blomir that they had cleaned up, they could quickly reach the Holy Light's Hope Chapel in a few days.
There, the chapel could serve as a first resupply point, where they could rest for a couple of days before heading south again. If his estimate was correct, based on his estimate of the normal traveling speed of the refugees, it would only take about ten days at most to reach their final destination - the Hand of Tire!
The advantage of this route is that it is short and there are few undead. In addition, they have already cleaned up along the way when they came. This way they can avoid the undead and natural disaster troops that appear in groups on the road and minimize the number of refugees. The panic and unnecessary attrition caused by the attacks of the undead.
There must be disadvantages as well. Except for the country road from Blomir to Holy Light's Hope Chapel, the route from Holy Light's Hope to Tyr's Hand is all steep mountains.
In other words, their three thousand troops will lead thousands of refugees to climb the mountain roads for several days, or there may be no roads at all in those places! Dathrohan can now imagine that it will definitely not be too easy when the time comes. They will not only have to serve as escort guards, but also serve as the vanguard to open the way.
"Your Excellency, Commander, among the refugees outside, there is a coolie named Will. He... claims to be a knight, and he also said that he wants to see you. Do you want to let him in?"
When Dathrohan was having a headache over the matter of relocating refugees, there was a sound of armor clashing while walking. Then, a Lordaeron Legion soldier outside the tent opened the tent and walked in. After a salute, Report loudly.
"Knight Will? Refugee coolie? Ha! It's interesting! Well, it's okay now anyway, so...invite him in."
After frowning and thinking about it, Dathrohan was convinced that he had no impression of this so-called Knight of Will. He had never known such a person, and he was probably not a member of the original Knights of the Silver Hand.
However..., since my own affairs have basically been taken care of now, and I have nothing to do now, I might as well meet this so-called knight and see what he wants to do when he comes to me.
…
"Your Excellency, Commander Dathrohan! The former captain and cavalry captain of the Third Legion of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Knight Will, is here to report to you."
After getting the consent of the chief, the guard walked out. Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a shabby linen jacket, a beard, and unkempt hair walked into the tent. This man took two steps forward and half-knelt on one knee. On the ground, a standard Kingdom of Lordaeron military salute was given to Paladin Dathrohan who was sitting on the main seat.
"Um...your name is Will, right? I'm sorry, except that the way you salute looks decent, I can't tell at all from you now. How do you look like a knight?"
After seeing such a person coming in, Dathrohan frowned, with a straight face, slowly stood up from his position, and took a step forward to walk in front of the Will Knight. .
Frowning again, looking at the middle-aged man half-kneeling on the ground, Dassohan was convinced that if the other man hadn't claimed that he was a knight, perhaps, when he first looked at him now, he would definitely think that he was in front of him. This man is just an ordinary coolie. Look at the sawdust on the other party. Or maybe he is actually an ordinary lumberjack?
"Your Excellency, Commander! I am indeed a knight worthy of the name! I have been serving in the Third Legion of the Kingdom of Lordaeron since the end of the Second Orc War until now! This is all well-documented!"
Hearing that Dathrohan doubted his identity, Knight Will became anxious.
This time, he took advantage of the great immigration opportunity and sneaked out of the lumberyard after the work at the lumberyard finally stopped. He didn't want to be caught back as a coolie again.
"Okay, let's not discuss this issue for now. I'm curious, why can't I see how you look like a knight at all?"
"Please answer my question: Knight Will, where are your armor? Where are your weapons? Now...please tell me, where are they now? Even if...you are really a knight, but you are like this now. You have lost the honor of a knight! You go and go back to your refugee camp. I will never accept any cavalry here who soils the honor and discards his armor!"
Dathrohan shook his head and waved to call in two guards, intending to blast the bastard in front of him out, out of sight and out of mind.
A knight who can survive to this day even has no weapons and armor. Doesn't this mean something?
The other party is nothing more than a cavalry who abandoned his armor in order to survive. From the time when the undead natural disaster was raging until now, what kind of person has he, Dathrohan, not seen?
Now, this bastard actually wants to show off his knighthood in front of Dathrohan? Perhaps, the other party also wants to return to his original position? And then get the treatment corresponding to his original military rank and title? This bastard must be thinking too much, right?
Anyway, Dathrohan's army will not take in such people anymore. Even if the generalissimo wants to recruit a large number of soldiers in the future, people like this will probably only be able to start from a small soldier.
"No! Lord Dathrohan! I didn't!"
Hearing that the commander imagined himself as a deserter, Will became anxious and broke free from the hold of the two guards. He once again threw himself on the ground, half-kneeling, and began to defend himself.
"Originally, my armor, my weapons, and even my horses are still there! Now that I am like this, it is actually because of a traitor! A traitor to the Kingdom of Lordaeron! It is the infantry second lieutenant named John. He excludes Shangguan. They colluded with the fire demon to disarm me, robbed me of my armor, weapons and horses, and forced me to work as a coolie for them in the lumber mill!"
"Your Excellency Dathrohan! Please believe me! I am definitely not a deserter who abandons his armor! Absolutely not! I have killed countless undead, I have shed blood for the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and I am still in danger I saved more than a dozen refugees by myself when I was a child, and I also..."
"..."
Seeing this unkempt man say this, the two guards looked at each other, and then looked at Commander Dathrohan together. They wanted to make sure whether they should continue to blast this man out now?
"Okay, stop it! I'll take back what I just said for now. But... I don't want to ask about the grudge between you and Officer John, let alone ask about it. Do you... understand?"
After seeing the other party nodding blankly, Dathrohan continued.
"Very well, then, Knight Will, do you want to rejoin the team now? If so, we can provide you with new armor, weapons and horses, but you must start as an ordinary cavalry. Are you willing?"
Dathrohan is not stupid. From the few words of the other party, he can basically confirm that the reason why this Will Knight is like this is because the other two people fought for power and became the loser. , he has seen too much of this kind of shit.
Thinking about it, after all, Veteran John is backed by fire elements, so it is normal for Knight Will to be unable to defeat him. Besides, no matter what time it is, without power, there is no right to speak! If you can't compete with others with your fists, you deserve to be bullied!
Dathrohan didn't want to care about these nonsense, and he didn't dare to care about it.
Now the Flame Canyon is the territory of the fire elements, and everything is decided by their fire elements! He would not be stupid enough to get himself into trouble for the sake of the Will Knight, who was obviously a loser.
If it weren't for this special period, but before the undead disaster broke out, Dathrohan probably wouldn't have accepted such a cavalry officer who was always thinking about fighting for power. That would only add trouble to his troops. !
But now, under the ravages of the undead natural disaster, the military strength of the Kingdom of Lordaeron is already very weak. And if the Will in front of him now is really a knight, he must have rich combat experience. Such senior cavalry who can put on armor and pick up weapons and can directly join the battle can still be accepted reluctantly. After all, in this difficult period, it is really difficult to slowly cultivate a qualified cavalry.
"Yes! I obey!"
After seeing that Commander Dathrohan finally agreed and agreed to accept him, Will quickly nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.
No matter what, being an ordinary cavalry is better than going back to be a hard worker or a refugee!
Anyway, as a noble knight, Will never wants to work in a lumber mill again! It doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough to eat, or if you eat poorly, there is almost never enough work to be done, and there are endless trees to cut down!
If there weren't too many undead outside the canyon, he would have actually wanted to run away. The combat skills he learned were used to kill enemies in battle, instead of chopping down trees with an ax in frustration!
"Okay, if there is nothing else, you can go out now. The two of them will take you to do a simple assessment. As long as you pass it, you can receive the weapons, armor and horses I just mentioned. Become a member of my cavalry. If you fail... then you may consider signing up to be a brave infantryman."
After Dathrohan finished speaking, he waved his hand, meaning that he could get out and stop being bothered by looking at him here.
"What? Do you have anything else to do? Will...Knight?"
Seeing that the other party was still not leaving, Dasohan began to show a slightly unhappy expression on his face.
"Your Majesty Commander, I would like to recommend someone to you now, a powerful priest! And, according to my observation, he is at least a powerful being at the level of a bishop!"
Now that he was about to successfully infiltrate another glorious cavalryman, Will prepared to make meritorious deeds without saying a word. If you recommend a powerful priest to Dathrohan, even if you can't be promoted immediately, you can always improve your salary and leave a deep impression on the commander's mind, right? After that, wouldn't it be a matter of course for me to gain some more qualifications and return to my original position and rank?
Knight Will was deeply impressed by the two mysterious priests and his daughter who came to the camp not long ago, and he had been paying attention and observing them for a long time!
The opponent's unparalleled power of holy light was so powerful that it was able to save alive a farmer who was hit by a falling giant tree and was on the verge of death! Will, who was well-informed and a quasi-noble, could tell the opponent's approximate strength at a glance. Holy light of that level was definitely not something that ordinary little characters could summon.
"A bishop-level priest?! Knight Will, are you sure you're not kidding?"
Dathrohan's expression became serious. He knew very well what role a bishop-level priest could play. Whether it is driving away evil, treating the wounded, encouraging morale, or baptizing paladin apprentices, etc., this powerful priest who embraces the Holy Light can play a great role!
Especially in the current special period when the undead natural disaster is raging, in the current Kingdom of Lordaeron, a powerful priest has an unparalleled important position!
However, how many bishop-level priests are there in the Holy Light Church? They are numerous in the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron. As of now, Dathrohan, as the commander-in-chief of the Silver Hand, knows very well who is dead and who is still alive. How could there be another bishop-level priest here? This made him a little unbelievable. Although he wanted to believe it was true, he subconsciously felt that it was a little impossible.
"Your Excellency Commander, I have seen his spellcasting with my own eyes. That level of Holy Light cannot be faked. I dare to guarantee you here with my knight's title and honor. I am very sure that the other party is definitely a bishop. The powerful priest!"
Will was delighted when he saw the other party's reaction and attitude.
Sure enough, he just made the right bet! Seeing the importance attached to Commander Dathrohan in front of him, he knew that he would definitely make a great contribution soon! Selling that strange father and daughter to the superior as a way to get promoted, and you can get benefits by just talking, but there is nothing better or cheaper than this.
…
Lordaeron, now the capital of the former kingdom, in addition to a large number of undead, there are now many more demons of various kinds. This is after the destruction of Dalaran. In the past few days, Ah Kermund summoned the demons of the Burning Legion that were summoned by the Dread Lords.
From beginning to end, Archimonde never thought that he could conquer the world of Azeroth with just those skeletons. Therefore, now after he came to this world in person, he quickly opened the Legion's portal. Compared to those skeletons and zombies that in his opinion were useless except for their numbers, the Defiler was more willing to believe in , or their own invincible Burning Legion!
Well... In fact, since he and Sargeras stumbled into this world in that ancient war ten thousand years ago, the Burning Legion is no longer invincible... This is a The stain of shame, Archimonde swore that he would conquer the world and completely wash away this defeat!
"Tichondrius, are you sure that the orcs who came from Draenor... have all gone to the continent to the west?"
In a legion demon-casting camp outside the King's City of Lordaeron, the tall Archimonde stared at the leader of the Nasrezim clan lying at his feet. Before Archimonde came, Azeroth This little bug is responsible for everything in Si, so now the only way to ask for relevant information is this bug.
"Yes! Great Lord Archimonde, I have received accurate information. Many human residents on the northern continent of the Eastern Kingdom have also gone to the continent called Kalimdor to the west. Among them, including those orcs!”
The fear lord Tichondrius lay trembling on the ground. Lord Archimonde was furious now. He could only serve him cautiously, for fear of accidentally getting into trouble.
Because they had just received the news that Balnazzar, who was in charge of military affairs in Stratholme, had died inexplicably, and he died completely. His body and soul were burned, and even his body was twisted. There is no chance of resurrection in the void! Because of this, Lord Archimonde is still angry!
"Very good! Then... Maronos, you will lead a part of the legion's vanguard and immediately teleport to Kalimdor. I think you should know very well what exactly needs to be done?"
After confirming the information, Archimonde looked at a huge demon lord of the Burning Legion on the other side. It was an existence like a giant four-hoofed dragon, that is: Mannoroth the Destroyer—— Lord of the Abyss Demon! The capable subordinate of Archimonde the Defiler, he has conquered countless worlds with the Defiler!
Mannoroth is a violent demon filled with the desire for destruction in his heart. His blood possesses unparalleled violent power. It was because the orc tribe drank its blood that they had such a powerful bloodthirsty desire for destruction. It has become extremely powerful, almost becoming a nightmare for the Lordaeron Alliance army!
Mannoroth has a strong interest in hatred and killing. As the leader of the three lords of the Abyss Demons, he is also one of the senior leaders of the Burning Legion. As a loyal servant of the demon lord Archimonde, he has always served as the leader of the Burning Legion. The general position of the Invasion Vanguard Legion, this time the invasion of Azeroth is no exception.
Now, after getting the whereabouts of those orcs, Archimonde immediately issued a mission, requiring him to lead the demons to teleport to Kalimdor to prepare for the subsequent landing of the demon army.
"As you command! My great master! Mannoroth will crush for you all obstacles that stand in your way!"
Mannoroth stepped forward and roared angrily before leaving straight away. He needed to select a group of elite demons to serve as the vanguard, and then let those damn eredar wizards teleport them to Kalimdor first. go.
"Then... before our army of the Burning Legion gathers together, I want to go to the east and take a look... to see the Fire Queen who killed Balnazzar, and her Kingdom of Fire... I want to I want to see what she is capable of? And...will those flame creatures satisfy me? Hehehe..."
Archimonde was still a little interested in the existence of that little bug that could easily kill Balnazzar.
However, he is more interested in the other side's Fire Kingdom, which is said to have many powerful fire elemental armies! Now, his own Burning Legion has just arrived, and it is a time when troops are in short supply.
If... we can capture the opponent's powerful fire element army, it might be a good help! After all, there will definitely still be resistance forces on Kalimdor. He still vividly remembers the war that took place ten thousand years ago. Now that he has discovered the new Well of Eternity, Archimonde must capture it, absorb its power, and then... become a Shaman. A powerful existence like Glass!
