Life is full of changes and things are unpredictable.
The boat of friendship will capsize if you don't see it.
The great wheel of love will sink if you don't see it.
If you don't see it, the pocket watch of time will break down.
You see, the logistics soldiers didn't even brush their teeth. Carlos gave an order, let's fight the orcs today.
According to the original plan, half of the more than 2,000-strong baggage team was to return, so the other half of the team was made up of recruits who had never seen blood.
There is an old saying that goes well, a mature team must be able to accommodate those who work hard, support those who are waiting to die, manage those who are just talking, and those who have no vision to fight to death.
Alterac claims to have an army of 70,000, but the ones that can truly be called elite are the independent regiments and Alterac cavalry that Carlos first led when he was a general in the Alliance, as well as the paladins he later trained. The total number is only 78,000. Thousands of people. The next best thing, those who could be dragged out to fight were the veterans who had fought hand-to-hand with the orcs in Hillbrad, totaling more than 10,000 people, and those who were sent there in the name of supporting Lothar during the food crisis. More than 10,000 people "obey the command".
These 30,000 troops who can actually fight are the foundation for Carlos to maintain his rule.
The remaining 40,000 people have been trained to look like a model, and they can form an array and fight two smooth battles.
Even so, in the eyes of outsiders, the Kingdom of Alterac is a model of militarism, and Carlos's 70,000-strong army is also very impressive.
But my family knows their own affairs, and when I brag to others, I get too excited. In every minute, an army of 70,000 people comes to your house to have dinner. Believe it or not?
These words are so exciting, I wonder who is not afraid after hearing them.
But in actual combat, the water that should be removed still has to be removed.
When the new recruits and farmers who served as heavy supplies heard that the king had classified them as soldiers, some young people who were still full of fantasy and freshness about the war cheered, and some were old peasant soldiers who joined the army just for a meal. Already crying.
But most of them are indifferent big-headed soldiers.
Since his debut, Carlos has been fighting all the way up and down, losing and winning. Generally speaking, he has made great achievements in battle, following a king who knows how to fight. It's better than following a stupid general.
The little people have the wisdom of the little people. Although it feels abrupt, there is not much resistance.
With three thousand troops in his hand, Carlos's whole mental outlook was different.
An army of a thousand men. It can still be led by the general's personal ability. An army of three thousand people can only be exhausted to death if they practice everything.
At this time, the professionalism of the officer can be seen.
"Your Majesty is really good at running the army!"
Although Hemet is also an officer in Ironforge. But the maximum number of people under his command was only 200.
A group of paladins and generals who usually circled around Carlos quickly took action after learning about their job assignments. In less than three hours, the more than 2,000 new arrivals were settled down. , the whole camp returned to calm, I couldn't help but be impressed by this skill.
"Have the plans been finalized?"
Carlos didn't react to Hemet's compliment, but instead changed the subject and asked.
"Bronzebeard Dwarf, you must keep your word."
Hemet Nesingwari beat his chest proudly. Respond loudly.
The dwarf race is rich in warriors, priests, and hunters, but mages are relatively rare. After sending Sora to Ironforge, Magni fully carried forward the spirit of scarcity and left Sora and Raistlin in Ironforge. The mage also sent the precious Ironforge elite gryphon cavalry to report the news.
Carlos didn't have much contact with the Dark Iron dwarves. He didn't know if they had gryphon cavalry, but both the Bronzebeard dwarves and the Wildhammer dwarves did. The two dwarf clans use and train griffin cavalry differently.
The Wildhammer dwarves regard griffins as partners and compatriots, and they value each other in life and death. **** united as one, the stormtroopers of the Wildhammer dwarves fought as gracefully as waltzing through the sky.
Although the Bronzebeard dwarves also value griffin cavalry as a unit, they are different from the Wildhammer dwarves' wild herding method. The griffons in Ironforge are all bred. Every griffin knight will be tested. Wait in line, and once a qualified newborn griffon is available, the griffin knight will take care of it from an early age.
A partner and a father. After the griffin parents teach their young griffons to fly, the griffin knights will take on the important responsibility of education and grow up with the griffins.
Although the training method of the Bronzebeard dwarves makes their number of griffon knights far less than that of their cousins. The fighting power of the griffon itself is not as good as that of the wild kids from Eagle Nest Mountain who like to play extreme sports. However, in terms of discipline and obedience, the gryphon cavalry of Ironforge completely defeated the Eagle's Nest Mountain.
In this way, the two gryphon knights traveled 600 kilometers in a day and night in order to avoid the orcs' eyes. When the gryphon landed, its wings were cramping. When the gryphon knight landed, he couldn't stand at all and sat down on the ground.
And the two gryphon knights brought Magni's reply.
It can be summed up in four words: **** ya!
I don’t know how Sora negotiated with Magni, but Magni’s words were full of joyful venom. The front of the letter is almost meaningless, filled with the falsehood of official rhetoric. But to the north of the letter is a time map of the marching route. From this map of the route and time, which looks like a child's graffiti, one can see Magni's suppressed murderous aura for a long time.
The Bronzebeard dwarves are not prepared to let the orcs near Ironforge escape, but Magni is prepared to annihilate these more than 10,000 orcs!
At this point, Carlos was a little scared.
It's not a problem to trick Magni into fighting. Anyway, the Alliance and the Horde, the dwarves and the orcs will always have to fight.
But it’s not easy to play at such a big scale.
In the Burning Plains, there are at least more than 100,000 orcs. If it triggers an overreaction, the main force of the alliance will not be able to respond to Ironforge in the short term.
Out of this concern, Carlos tactfully asked Hemet what to do if he lost.
Unexpectedly, Hemet said indifferently: "If you lose, go back to Ironforge. I still don't believe that the orcs can capture Ironforge."
The words without any thought made Carlos feel relieved.
Yes, the Bronzebeard dwarves sit in Ironforge and are almost invincible. Even if they lose for a while, they can regroup when Lothar goes south.
I'm so scared!
Carlos was immediately determined.
It's time to take on the orcs.
The only problem now...
The road map drawn by Magni is really too abstract. (To be continued.).
