Carlos is not without reinforcements.
In the face of natural disasters, all living beings are equal, and the alliance can really raise millions of troops if it doesn't last long.
The problem is that you can still survive hanging, but you can’t bear to break the broken jar.
Therefore, the current number of 300,000 troops is close to the limit that human society can bear.
Forcibly transferring more than 4,000 key elites from Andorhal actually had a great impact on the elimination of the undead natural disaster.
But Carlos had to come.
It was a very unwise choice to allow Arthas to lead the Scourge army to attack Quel'Thalas.
Anastarian's life is short...
Elementalization is not a very advanced spell. Among the human archmages in Dalaran, as long as they choose elemental specialization, there is no one who cannot elementalize.
The advantages are outstanding. After elementalization, the power of corresponding elemental spells is at least 500% higher than the starting point. The mage himself also has resistance that is almost immune to physical attacks.
But the shortcomings are also very prominent. Reversing elementalization will be short-lived.
The irreversibility of elementalization is a white lie by the mentors, just to discourage the apprentices.
The cost of reversing elementalization is very high, and the loss of the upper limit of magic power is also second. The loss of vitality and physical damage are still unsolvable problems.
Therefore, human archmages basically use elementalization as a last resort.
At least a means of suicide.
It is also the ultimate romance of Master to hold the enemy in his arms and explode him with one shot.
Silver Moon City has gone further than humans in this regard. All kinds of avatar elementalization and partial elementalization are all routine operations.
But the long life of the Sun King has entered the sunset, and Anastarian is really desperate to kill himself in order to pave the way for his son Kael'thas.
Literally desperate.
Carlos didn't know the extent of the internal fighting in Silvermoon City. The largest high elf craftsman, Sora Starbreaker, had been out of touch for a long time, and the Alliance had a severe lack of information about the high elves.
The only thing that's certain is one thing.
If the Sun King is forced by Silvermoon City to play in person, it will be the beginning of Silvermoon City's greatest tragedy.
Anastarian is no longer a match for the Lich King. The Burning Legion has rich experience in anti-magic operations. Arthas doesn't even need to follow me. He only needs to charge me to drain the high elves' magic power.
So Carlos led the vanguard to intercept Alsace's retreat.
However, in the battle of Stratholme, the vanguard army was defeated.
The saltiness of salted fish.
Carlos was noncommittal about the news brought by Magni.
The floating fortress of Naxxramas.
It was so scary that Carlos wanted to take a sip of the Holy Light to calm his shock.
Naxxramas really dares to drift towards Stratholme City. His Majesty the Knight King doesn't mind doing it again.
The core of the problem is that Naxxramas is most likely heading towards Silvermoon City.
This is very troublesome.
If he pursues Alsace regardless of his current situation, he will most likely be able to catch up with him in Yongsong Forest.
Then what?
Carlos is not a fool.
The fallen U-shaped landscape of the Stratholme region determined that even if Alsace had more than 100,000 or 200,000 high-level undead under his command, they could only form a line.
The vanguard army wants to hang on to the tail of the Undead Scourge without having to worry about being surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Chased to Yonge Forest...
Carlos didn't want to perform the famous stunt of a certain micromanipulation master who was a hundred years ahead of his time in tactics. The machine gun rolled poison and exploded.
Can't catch up.
Once the time has passed, it will never come again.
If you miss it, you will miss it.
What Carlos was worried about now was what to do next.
The military operations to clear Andorhal and Hearthglen were controlled by Uther and the Knights of the Silver Hand, an expeditionary force with extensive experience in bad debts in the Burning Legion. Carlos felt relieved.
The Alliance and the Scourge are now in a state of double-teaming each other.
In Hillsbrad, the Scourge of Lordaeron was blocked from moving south, and in Hearthglen, the Scourge was held back from advancing eastward. The Scourge of the Undead was surrounded by the Alliance army in the Lordaeron area.
But this can also be said in another way. The main force of the alliance was blocked by Lordaeron and Arthas at the Andorhal-Hearthglen line.
If strategic results cannot be achieved, the Vanguard Army created by Carlos will simply be a stain on the archives that will never be erased.
Carlos didn't mind the fame and infamy, but what was the point of letting elite soldiers and generals go for nothing?
"There is no horse. We have to chase them with two legs. We can't withstand those skeletons who don't eat, drink or sleep."
Originally, the vanguard army outside the city made three huge wooden barrels, preparing to transport all the holy water at once.
However, Carlos didn't even need to ask questions. When he was trying to fill the water, the barrel exploded on its own.
A group of hard-working amateur coopers all said it was the fault of the guy next to them.
It's gone, it's all gone.
Unable to cope, Carlos took a bath in Stratholme Cathedral for two more days, and finally waited for the small wooden barrel with a capacity of 200 liters produced by the vanguard army.
Done.
There was no need to hold on to the bloody battle. The macho characteristics of all members of the Vanguard Army played a huge role in the end. The undead army of Stratholme City, which had lost all its elites, could not play any role other than a symbolic obstruction.
Magni Bronzebeard even took the dwarves to explore the ruins, smashing two ziggurats and digging out a lot of property.
Just a small game.
The main force of the undead responsible for setting up traps in Stratholme City was almost exhausted during the battle between Carlos and the others to rescue the survivors. The remaining crooked melons, pears and jujubes were not enough in front of the alliance's most elite vanguard army.
After another two days of transportation, the death knights who stayed behind helplessly watched the vanguard army transport buckets of holy water out of the city.
In addition to watching, that is, watching.
However, there were absolutely loyal Lich King diehards who tried to attack Stratholme Cathedral and kill a few paladins.
However, my colleagues really don’t know where this guy got his courage.
The death knights who had lost their humanity silently watched their colleagues die, not even thinking of guarding the corpses and resurrecting them.
Was Carlos' reputation just a boast?
Is it really possible to fight?
As an undead, the most important thing is to have self-awareness.
The Lich King asked them to defend Stratholme City and hold back Carlos' vanguard.
Wouldn't it be nice to complete the master's mission well? What are you doing?
that's all.
After receiving the intelligence from Naxxramas, Carlos was delayed in Stratholme City for another five days.
So much so that Uther sent supplies and reinforcements along the White Water River.
"..."
Am I missing a warrior?
I am in need of skilled workers and civilian husbands!
The bridge across the Baishui River has been bombed, and now the only way to travel between the two sides is by boat.
It's a bit reluctant to give up the frontline base. After all, the plague mages have already caused plague in Hearthglen to contaminate the land. If they just retreat, the lost land will be recovered in the future, and it will be nothing more than wasteland.
The territory that has been won cannot be given up.
Thinking of this, Carlos suddenly remembered that there were refugees from Daron County in the mountains of Keldaron.
"We have to get the trolls and orcs to move. If we can save Darrow County, there won't be a shortage of food next year."
Thinking of this, Carlos immediately contacted his old father through magic.
However, Carlos was still undecided about how to interfere with Quel'Thalas.
