The orc offensive came as expected.
They attacked violently during the day, harassed them at night, and set fire and poison at all costs.
In this defensive battle, Carlos's role as a general was far less than that of a warrior.
There was nowhere to run and no way to escape. Strategic passivity determined that Carlos and his army could only defend to the death.
The only advantage is that if the strategic purpose is clear, the tactical arrangements can be targeted.
There are diagonally inserted wooden stakes, vertical and horizontal ravines, and dense horse traps and assassination holes.
Although the tribe tried their best and dumped more than 2,000 corpses in just two days, they still could not make any progress.
In desperation, Gul'dan asked Orgrim personally to order the Overseer to besiege the troops in Southsea Town.
Although the warchief doubted Gul'dan's intentions, the great Doomhammer would not refuse anyone willing to serve the Horde, let alone a powerful warlock.
So Gul'dan opened a portal in front of the warchief and left the Horde army with only two of his men.
"Chibon, do you trust Gul'dan?" Orgrim asked one of his most trusted subordinates.
"I believe more in the clefthoof cattle of Nagrand." Chibonn Ironhoof cattle slaughterer replied.
When Gul'dan arrived at the temporary camp of the Horde army besieging Nanhai Town, Cho'gall's army of five hundred ogres also arrived as promised.
"Master, capturing this human town is more difficult than attacking Shattrath of the Draenei. We need the support of you and your warlocks." The orc commander greeted Gul'dan respectfully, and then said what he was currently facing. Difficulties and need for help.
"Don't be anxious, my friend. My warlock and I need some time to prepare. Tomorrow, wait until tomorrow, everything will be settled." Gul'dan assured the commander of this orc army.
So that night, the orcs stopped their routine harassment and prepared to recharge their batteries for another fight tomorrow.
The war was chaotic, information communication was inconvenient, and Carlos was ordered to fight in many dangers many times and fought in many places.
So Tan Ji walked around most of Hillblade with the secret message Alex brought to his son, and finally learned that Carlos was in Nanhai Town. When Tanji arrived at Nanhai Town, the orcs had already blocked the road and harassed and attacked day and night. The little girl Tanji once considered crossing the sea by water. , but this is officially the season when murlocs return to land to look for food. Tanji felt that on land she should be able to give a 50-50 fight to the broken-fin murlocs outside Nanhai Town, but in the water... forget it.
So it wasn't until Gul'dan arrived and the orcs suspended their night siege that Tan Ji found the opportunity to sneak into Nanhai Town.
Tan Ji secretly sneaked into Carlos's residence without alerting anyone, and sat on the bed to wait for Carlos. However, maybe the journey was too hard or Carlos's bed was too comfortable, so she actually fell asleep.
Fortunately, Carlos planned to go back to his residence to take a shower and change clothes, otherwise Carlos, who had been sleeping in the command tent of the military camp for a long time, would have missed this important secret letter.
After being woken up, Tanji carelessly took the dried fruit plate in Carlos' bedroom and started eating it, mouthing while eating.
"Master, when I came here, I found a lot of big fat people outside. They seem to be called ogres, right?"
"Um, ah, yes."
Carlos discovered the lacquer envelope that Ji took out from her chest and found a patterned hole in the lacquer used to seal it.
After hesitating for a while, Carlos lowered his head and smelled it pretending to check.
"What am I thinking about? I must be too tired recently. Yes, that's it." Carlos shook his head vigorously, then opened the envelope and looked at the contents.
The whole secret letter is filled with the parents' short-term feelings of longing for their loved ones. It is a very ordinary letter from home. Only Alex Barov's autograph at the end reveals the interpretation method.
This is the most complicated letter with split characters.
Carlos and Alex, father and son, are the only two people in the world who have memorized the reading sequence.
It must have taken a lot of brain cells for my father to put together such a letter.
Carlos thought, and quickly compared the Chinese characters in the letter to reconstruct the true content of the secret message.
"The king is suspected to be dead. Aiden has a son. Come home quickly!"
Carlos' first reaction was that he didn't believe it. His second reaction was that he spelled it wrong. The third time he thought he was dazzled. It wasn't until the fifth time that he confirmed that his interpretation was correct.
"Tanji, is there any news related to King Aiden this time?" Carlos asked.
"No, there is no news about old man Aiden returning to Alterac City." Tan Ji replied.
died? Actually dead! Aiden is dead! His father, Alex, never did anything he was unsure of, and in addition, he used the most confidential decrypted letter to send a message to him...
Carlos suddenly felt a sense of relief and loss.
Now that Aiden is dead, who else in Alterac can preside over the betrayal of the alliance? The Barov family crisis that he has been worrying about for eighteen years can finally be put aside for the time being.
Carlos, who was looking relaxed, suddenly felt that the coward Tanji, who had always disliked him, suddenly became cute.
In the sudden excitement of his mood, Carlos got a little carried away. He grabbed Tanji and kissed her, and ended up kissing the dried fruit pulp in his mouth.
"Master, what are you doing?" Tan Ji asked in confusion.
"Nothing, you brought good news, this is a reward." Carlos replied.
"But I want more yellow, hard rewards." Tan Ji chuckled.
You are really a talent. After hearing Tan Ji's description, Carlos thought wrongly for the first time. Finally, he reacted before taking action. He took out a small bag from the cabinet beside the bed and threw it to Tan Ji.
"Get out of here, you little money man."
Tan Ji weighed it, then climbed out of the window with a smile and left, leaving only the dried fruit shells on the ground.
Carlos, who had taken a bath as planned, soaked in the tub and had a rare moment of relaxation.
When his whole body relaxed, Carlos suddenly tensed up and splashed with water.
Happy early! Aiden has a son. If the capitulation faction in the country bypasses his father and supports the new king, and then compromises with the tribe, everything will return to the original point!
No longer in the mood for a bath, Carlos quickly arranged his clothes and rushed to Fang Bian's residence as quickly as possible.
"Uncle Brick, I need to go back to Alterac City and help me open a portal." Carlos said straight to the point.
"It can't be opened." Fang Brick answered bluntly.
"Huh? Then I'll go find Kel'Thuzad." Carlos was stunned for a moment, and the words came out without passing through his brain.
"There are powerful guys outside. Nanhai Town has been blocked by magic. All teleportation spells can't be used. It's useless for you to go to Kel'Thuzad." Fang Brick explained.
It's most likely Gul'dan! I underestimated Gul'dan's execution ability, and also underestimated the attraction of Tomb of Sargeras to Gul'dan.
Carlos understood that things were getting together and the trouble was big this time.
