Anyone will say harsh words and just start working!
In just five days, 400,000 troops were mobilized. Those who heard the news for the first time were all frightened.
So the question is, how many corpses did the Death Knights and Necromancers pull up? Why did this confidential information about the Scourge spread so quickly and so widely.
So much so that for a time, every common man in the countryside knew that humanity was finished.
Nonsense, of course it was the rumor spread by the Curse Sect.
In this regard, Carlos's response was only four words - teaching by words and deeds.
"Don't be intimidated by the enemy's false strength."
The opening chapter makes it clear that Carlos is analyzing the core composition of the Scourge to the soldiers like a wealthy landowner who is emptying his cellar.
"Counting from the bottom up, the resurrected skeletons, ghouls, flesh-and-blood abominations, gargoyles, death knights, lichs, and the Scourge are all made up of these things. Liches, rare things. Death knights, the second time. There are hundreds of old antiques left over from the Orc War, which can be dealt with by paladins and mages. The gargoyles were just defeated a few days ago. They were originally a great threat to us, but they were torn in half by me. I’m afraid I won’t dare to send them out easily.”
Amid a burst of laughter, Carlos took a breath and continued.
"So the main enemies we face are ghouls, flesh-and-blood abominations, and countless skeleton soldiers. Let's focus on the abominations, which are suture monsters. Those monsters are stitched together from pieces of bones and flesh. Although they are very powerful, But it moves slowly, and the best way to deal with it is to use cannons to bombard it, and to use trebuchets to hit it. After a while, these engineering weapons will be available. I have ordered Alterac to fully prepare for war, and the first batch of weapons and equipment has already arrived. On the road. But we don’t have it now. If you encounter it, don’t fight it head-on. Cut its sutures. It’s quite self-explanatory. If you keep cutting with one knife, you can chop it several times. It’s more effective than cutting the meat.”
Carlos said it a bit humorously, mainly because he didn't want the audience to be afraid, but how many of these soldiers could not be afraid.
They all escaped from the city of Lordaeron, otherwise they would not have followed Carlos firmly.
"It won't be a big problem in the short term. As I said just now, those suture monsters are disgusting, slow and heavy, and move very slowly. The only trouble is that they are tireless and can keep going. We won't encounter many for a while. Just be careful. The real trouble is with the ghouls."
Carlos looked around seriously and made sure everyone was looking at him seriously before continuing.
"Compared with skeleton soldiers and suture monsters, ghouls are faster and more deadly. Most of them are infected with viruses and plagues. We don't have enough medicines and doctors now. Being injured by them is very troublesome. So deal with them. They, put up your shields, hold your swords firmly, don't think that everything will be fine if you cut them into two pieces, they will bite the remaining heads, they must be broken into pieces."
Carlos said every word.
"On the contrary, the 400,000 troops boasted by the enemy are not worth mentioning."
After becoming serious, Carlos criticized with a contemptuous expression.
"The enemy is very cunning. There are some skeleton soldiers that have been strengthened by evil magic. They are very strong and have very hard bones. They are also equipped with armor and can use frost and shadow magic. However, there are not many such skeletons. There are more It’s just a skeleton, one for each knife. But the enemy’s cunning lies in mixing the powerful skeletons I mentioned before into a large number of skeletons, one for each knife. Keep your eyes peeled, otherwise you will die.”
The joke wasn't funny, but everyone laughed anyway.
Carlos's willful battle in Lordaeron now seems not entirely meaningless. At least he came into close contact with the Scourge, which gave him an intuitive feel for the Lich King's military power, rather than the one in the Warcraft game. 【balance】.
Quantity, quantity, quantity, quantity.
The most terrifying thing about the undead natural disaster is its tireless and perpetual motion that almost ignores the conservation of energy.
After all, this is Azeroth, not the Earth. When the humans of Azeroth face the Scourge, which is like a zombie siege, their physical advantages are still obvious.
Except for the elite troops brought by the Lich King from Northrend, the newly transformed "army" of 400,000 people is really not that big of a threat to humans.
Even if infected with the undead plague will be transformed into new undead, the lack of the backbone of the Scourge is a fatal flaw.
In this sense, Silver Dawn does a really good job.
At least Carlos said that the Scourge Legion he faced was weaker than the Scourge Legion that Garithos faced in the other world line.
The Alliance of Lordaeron in this world is stronger than the Alliance of Lordaeron in that world.
The reason is simple. The Kingdom of Alterac still stands on the earth.
After Lordaeron fell, Gilneas closed itself off, and Dalaran was conquered again, there were at least two large cities in the continent of Lordaeron, Stratholme and Alterac City.
This is a huge advantage that the alliance in another world line cannot match.
escape?
Where to escape.
In that world line, Stratholme had long been slaughtered by Prince Arthas, and the city of Alterac had been abandoned for more than 20 years. That's why the city of Lordaeron fell, as if the sky had collapsed. .
Such large cities are like landmarks, which will naturally attract dispersed refugees to gather together.
Today, the city of Alterac still stands on the plateau, the Kingdom of Alterac is still alive and victorious, and Carlos's 70,000-strong army is rushing towards them.
Regardless of whether it's a turtle or not, these are huge costs.
This means a steady stream of supplies and soldiers, which means that the legacy of Lordaeron is being continuously accepted by Alterac.
At least the refugees west of Lordaeron have no choice. Gilneas has closed itself off, and they can only go south to Hillsbrad.
The residents east of the city of Lordaeron either fled all the way east to Stratholme, or entered Anhador to seek asylum from the Kingdom of Alterac.
Looking back at the Scourge, I have to admit that the Lich King Ner'zhul's central blooming tactics are really beautiful, and the Great Swing of Naxxramas is really amazing. In just a few days after the city of Lordaeron was captured, 400,000 skeleton soldiers were converted, and the killing efficiency was really good. High enough.
However, after a whole year and being interfered with by the Argent Dawn, Ner'zhul's arrangements were still not enough.
There is not enough abomination, there is not enough source of plague infection, there is not enough elite force.
Under the huge number, the backbone of the Scourge Legion was insufficient.
If Uther and his Knights of the Silver Hand could return in time, Carlos would be able to completely bury the Scourge in Lordaeron within a month.
This difference is exactly what has changed thirty years since Carlos came to the world.
Lordaeron was completely defeated, but humans were not desperate.
Time is not on Carlos' side, and he is powerless to prevent this catastrophe.
Time is also not on the Lich King's side. After stopping for a moment, the alliance will return to its senses and start the northern expedition to Icecrown Glacier.
So Carlos couldn't open his mouth to retain Gavin Ladd.
He needs time so much.
So when the news came that Bulwark Gate had been captured by the Scourge, no one in the Lordaeron army around Carlos was surprised.
Everyone just silently paid tribute to the hero.
Way to go, hero.
