The saying that there must be supplies before a war has been widely circulated since ancient times.
Although the alliance was only established for three short years, the veteran scoundrels who were transferred from various kingdoms still spread the ideas of metaphysics to the new recruits. If a person suffers a loss and is cheated, ah, no, he benefits. He must continue the tradition.
Therefore, the word "pass on the fire from generation to generation" perfectly explains what it means that I will not pass on the fire!
Don’t get me wrong, the so-called passing on of fire is not a healthy after-dinner activity for heroes to chop wood and burn corpses to extract humanity, but a selection ceremony for the vanguard.
The vanguard, or pacesetter, is the most important person in the infantry phalanx. As the front line of the group, it needs to bear the first wave of the opposite infantry and cavalry troops, and it needs to lead the silly boys behind it to advance, retreat, and even turn. Deformation.
In the evil old society or the grassroots army organized by strong men, the vanguard was equal to death. Therefore, if everyone could not defeat the executioner, they could only choose the vanguard by drawing lots.
However, in the regular national army or super-large military organizations such as the alliance, the vanguard is not a life-threatening soldier. It is the best channel for civilians to be promoted, a stepping stone for small nobles to enter the circle of military nobles, a reserve for the strong, and a way to rob everything. Glory that never comes.
So, later on, there was a custom of passing fire. Use a small wooden stick dipped in some oil to light it and then quickly pass it on. Whoever is lucky enough to have the fire extinguished in his place, sure, you will be the vanguard.
However, this very informal method has resulted in a variety of cheating methods, including not limited to fast and slow hands, arranging relationship positions, blowing in big mouths, etc. There are all kinds of dirty tricks you can't think of.
So soon, the method was innovative.
All those who want to be the vanguard stand in a line, and each person takes a small flammable wooden stick and lights it on fire. Whoever is timid throws it away because it is hot to the touch, and is eliminated. The remaining number of people is enough for the vanguard to finish the calculation.
That is to say, I will not spread this fire.
A new recruit can be promoted to an officer as long as he serves as a vanguard for three times, even if he loses a single soldier. You can imagine how difficult it is to get a vanguard position in an army with high morale.
Before a war, there must be good wine and good meat. Carlos's order for extra food for two days in a row made all the soldiers know that a big fight was about to begin. Therefore, in the past two days, private quarrels were frequently spread.
The officers yelled loudly, what if their hands were burned, but they couldn't stop the soldiers who were privately high-spirited.
Not only did Sir Lothar's deadly battle inspire everyone's morale, but more realistically, most of the human soldiers, who were the absolute main force of the alliance, were veterans who had survived from the Hillbrad Hills, and they had gradually recovered from despair. The war sticks that came out witnessed the entire development process of the alliance.
We can't lose this battle!
No need for brainwashing by officers, soldiers really think this way.
It was no longer just a simple hatred between the country and the family. The soldiers had begun to plan for receiving awards for their meritorious service after the war.
Seeing that the tribe is getting worse day by day, if we don't make contributions, we will have no chance!
So even though Carlos's military order had not been issued yet, the people below were still inexplicably excited.
Especially the survivors who followed Sir Lothar and participated in the earth-shattering battle with the tribal warchief. In their mouths, that battle was like a huge dragon wailing, and the thundering roars of the alliance soldiers and orcs even shook the sky. The giant dragon was so frightened that he forgot to flap his wings and fell from the sky (heavy fog).
Although all kinds of rumors were rampant, the generals, including Carlos, chose to turn a blind eye.
Warriors dare to die and become officials for nothing.
But we cannot let the warriors die in vain.
There are no immortals in war, and Carlos is not the protagonist Richard in some adventure novel. He can fight all the way from tribe to city-state with zero casualties. But the role of the commander is to lead everyone to achieve the greatest victory with minimal casualties.
The expressions in the early stage have been enough, and there are various signs that Orgrim has been fooled.
Under the magic of the mage's detection magic, the orc swordmaster was not undetectable, but Carlos, in order to be safe, did not even use countermeasures, but chose the most cowardly method, and dispatched the rear army later.
More than 30,000 rear troops were blocked at the front line of Black Rock Mountain, 30,000 cavalry were bypassed for 200 miles, 40,000 Alliance troops were blocked at the door of the tribe, and only 20,000 reinforcements were detected by the Juggernaut.
The intelligence gathered together gave Orgrim great courage.
Under the tremendous pressure from the Alliance, the tribes united once again. The orcs of the Burning Plains still had 70,000 fighting men. Calculated based on the ratio of one orc fighting three humans, the alliance was simply giving away food.
Orgrim was puzzled as to what gave Carlos the courage to use his inferior troops to confront him.
Finally, Orgrim suddenly realized that it was love!
He killed Anduin Lothar, and the Alliance came to take revenge.
Although Orgrim is very disdainful of humans' anger and raising armies, he still welcomes more actions like this from the Alliance.
More than half a month was not enough time to recover from Orgrim's injuries, and the warchief no longer had the ability to fight on the battlefield. But as a commander, Orgrim is still competent.
If we really want the Alliance to take the base to the doorstep of the orcs, there will be no need to fight this battle. Ner'zhul's reply was not very satisfactory, and the situation in Draenor continued to deteriorate. Although Orgrim's request for additional troops was not rejected, it was unlikely to be possible in a short time. Not only that, in Draenor, the war between the orcs against the Goria Empire and the arakkoa has reached its most critical moment. Therefore, not only cannot all the supplies in Elwynn Forest be mobilized to the Burning Plains, but a large part of the blood transfusion Draenor must be transferred. So Kilrogg's war against the trolls is also very troublesome.
All of this made Orgrim determined to fight a war of annihilation.
Only by crippling the alliance army in front of them can the tribe have time to regain its strength.
Then, the defensive counterattack style of play is very unrealistic.
A big battle must be fought in the wild.
But during the few days when he was in coma, his gang of scum were busy competing for the position of war chief, which made the alliance angry.
Seeing that the Alliance was attacking the base faster and faster, Orgrim's head was getting big.
So "The Backstabber" Orgrim came up with a cool move.
"What? The orcs sent an envoy!"
Carlos' eyes widened when he heard the news.
Too lazy to play tricks like killing sticks, Carlos met the orc envoy with a bruised face. After a conversation in Common Language that smelled of flesh and bones, Carlos finally understood - Orgrim asked for an alliance. Retreat ten kilometers to give way to the gathering place of the tribe so that both sides can fight a glorious battle.
Well, it means that the fortress that the alliance is building now is no longer needed.
Orgrim plans to surrender the Alliance with just one word!
Before Carlos could speak, the generals around him had already begun to roll up their sleeves, preparing to put the icing on the face of the orc envoy.
"That's enough!"
Carlos took it into consideration.
After shouting at everyone, Carlos stood up from his seat.
"Tell Orgrim I agree!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, including the orc envoy.
The war chief is so clever that the alliance can agree to such an unreliable request!
"Listen, I can only avenge Sir Lothar, and I can only kill the tribal chief!"
Carlos said with a face like I am the best in the world.
Then while others were still confused, Turalyon had already woken up!
"You are not the Grand Marshal yet! The honor of avenging Sir Lothar cannot belong to you alone!"
Before Uther could figure out what the fuss was about, bad boy Danas also woke up and shouted at the top of his lungs: "The person who killed Orgrim is the new generalissimo of the alliance!"
This voice stirred up the acting souls of a bunch of drama stars.
For a moment, there were no gentlemen in the big tent. All this made the orc envoy suspect that these human generals were not orcs in disguise!
Finally, seeing that it was too late to go too far, Carlos drew his sword and kicked Danas over.
After sending away the orc envoy, Carlos asked, ignoring Danas who was meowing.
"Do you think orcs will be fooled?"
