What do the Scourge want to do?
Or restate the question in another way.
What is the Lich King planning to do?
Carlos was very sure that the death knight he encountered did not have an evil aura and could not increase his movement speed.
The Lordaeron area is also much larger than the map in Warcraft, plus it is many times larger to the Nth power.
The final result is that the fight against the undead this time is no different from the last fight against the orcs. Strategic locations have to be seized one by one, and enemy units have to be smashed hammer by hammer.
The flying floating fortress is on guard.
It has been more than half a year since the destruction of Lordaeron. The Alliance has long passed the initial period of confusion and entered the operation period of explosive troops. With the full support of Ironforge, whether it is gryphon knights or dwarf aircraft, A large number of arrangements have been made on the alliance's side.
Naxxramas alone would not panic the city of Alterac to the point of fleeing without a fight.
The question isn't what the Scourge intends to do, but the underlying logic of Kel'Thuzad doing so.
The battle was getting smoother and smoother, but Carlos really started to panic.
Because he no longer understands what his old friend was like.
Your heart is in Cao Ying but you are in Han Dynasty?
Kel'Thuzad was weird when he was resurrected.
But the Scourge Legion is extremely difficult to deal with in its hands.
The advantage of the alliance at this time is the advantage of head count, the cultural centripetal force accumulated over hundreds of years, and the morale bonus brought by the natural hostility between the living and the dead.
It's not that the officers of the Alliance are better than the Scourge.
In fact, the undead Scourge, a killing machine that absolutely obeys orders and does not consider battle losses, is the soldier that all commanders dream of.
If Carlos hadn't cheated and followed the "local" county brigade and district team method to fight the undead natural disaster, there would be very few humans left in Lordaeron.
Grand army operations have become the consensus of all generals.
In the large-scale legion battles, the weakness of human flesh and blood was hidden by numbers, and the ambition of the undead skeletons to ascend was completely shattered.
If you don't have the ability to fight alone, it won't work. Even if you look scary, it won't work.
Don't compare the Flesh Abomination with the Human Foot Man. One is a heavy unit with four people, and the other is seventy-five gold coins and does not require wood.
Ahem, to put it bluntly, after being splinted for a long time, Carlos became far-sighted again.
Rejecting adventurism, the great Grand Marshal of the Alliance suppressed the useless argument of the Scourge Legion that appeared out of nowhere. He used the old method of accumulating food and building high walls, and internally suppressed the argument of regaining the lost territory before the Winter Veil Festival.
In a high-level internal meeting, Carlos stated bluntly that he hoped everyone would be prepared for not finding a complete skeleton in the entire Lordaeron region.
The Alliance is ready for a protracted war, but what about the undead natural disaster?
Confused, very confused.
The seemingly ferocious attack was meaningless. Gilneas had not been defeated, Silverpine Mountain Road had not been rushed over, and the Barrier Pass could not be taken away. White Water River was still in a defensive posture.
Even Darrow County, which was guarded by orcs and trolls, failed to penetrate.
What was Kel'Thuzad thinking, what was it doing? !
You can laugh at your enemies as stupid [beep], but don't really treat your enemies as stupid [beep]. Don't forget that the kingdoms of Lordaeron were almost destroyed by these stupid [beep] skeletons half a year ago.
So when the insiders sent Kel'Thuzad to prepare for a surprise attack on the barrier, Carlos immediately summoned a bunch of idiots who were the best in the league to prepare to chat face to face with his old friends.
Don't wonder why the living can arrange tricks on the dead. This is called the situation being stronger than the person.
The city of Lordaeron was destroyed, and many frightened humans prepared to join the Curse Cult to seek glory and wealth after death.
Carlos withstood the natural disaster of the undead, but Erwu Zai, who had Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, immediately hesitated again.
Wait until the Alliance seems to be going to counterattack, and they will not allow the Undead Scourge to send out two surrender factions.
This doesn't make sense.
The Lich King can control the will of everyone under his command, but he cannot control everyone's will at the same time.
Regardless of whether the information is true or false, the fact that this information came out already illustrates certain problems.
So Carlos took a group of tough men and quietly moved to the barrier, closed the curtains, and waited for Kel'Thuzad to visit.
As a result, everyone understands espionage work. You are part of me, and you are part of me.
Kel'Thuzad learned that Carlos was laying an ambush on the ground, and directly cooperated with the grassroots death knights to sell a wave of loopholes, floating Naxxramas past the alliance's barrier and defense line, and headed straight for Alterac City. .
urgent.
Extremely urgent.
As the most important political center and material distribution center in the Alliance, Alterac City has unparalleled importance and symbolic significance.
But Carlos held his own.
Don’t go!
No soldier in the barrier gate is allowed to leave the station.
Being tricked by Kel'Thuzad was the skill of the demigod lich.
But if you are led by the undead natural disaster, it means that the top leaders of the alliance are incompetent!
Because the Naxxramas Necropolis is flown over, Andorhal cannot be counted on for the Alliance's ground troops to return to their source. The detour is too far.
The only ones that can really be counted on are Garithos' troops and the defenders of the barrier gate.
By boat, by fleet transport.
Only in this way can we chase after Kel'Thuzad and rush to rescue Alterac City.
The premise is that Kel'Thuzad cannot be captured within three or two days.
"I really don't believe that Kel'Thuzad can capture Alterac City in half a month!"
Carlos rejected Kael'thas' proposal to overload a portal and send everyone back to Alterac.
Don't question Kael'thas' ability, just talk about the consequences. If he did this, he would have to cultivate for at least half a year.
Kael'thas is indispensable when fighting against a demigod lich and who knows how many undead spellcasters.
not worth it.
At the same time, with almost no suspicion supported by intelligence, Carlos stubbornly believed that Kel'Thuzad was playing tricks.
"Even if Naxxramas' attack on Alterac is fake, if we let it go south like this, our rear will be unstable!"
Magni Bronzebeard, who had never been on a spaceship, was tired of seeing something that could fly and couldn't help but remind Carlos.
"Hmm."
Carlos sneered without meaning.
"Alessandro, the barrier is still guarded by you. Remember, no matter what, the defenders here cannot be used for other purposes."
"good."
Ashbringer is concise and to the point.
"Tirion, after Uther leaves, the cleanup work here will be left to you. While preventing the infiltration of the undead, we should resume production as soon as possible. How much Anhador and Hearthglen can produce determines how far we can advance. "
"give it to me."
Tirion Fordring nodded.
After the fall of Lordaeron, the Alliance could only transport supplies through the Alterac Plateau, which was a very costly supply line.
Although it is theoretically possible to transport it by water on Lake Lordamre, a small one is better than nothing. A large one is easily attacked by the Scourge. Spreading out Alliance warships to escort them loses its strategic deterrence.
Therefore, it is the most economical and efficient way to restore the productivity of Hearthglen and Andorhal as soon as possible.
Once this side can supply the army's needs, annihilating the undead natural disasters in Stratholme can be put on the agenda.
After all, sending Uther eastwards this time was not intended to be a push, but simply to put pressure on them.
After arranging these, Carlos stopped pretending, called the remaining brothers to leave the hiding place, and prepared to rush back to Alterac City.
"Carlos, are you really so confident about the defenders of Alterac City? No matter how fast we are, we can't fly as fast as we can in the sky."
Kael'thas seemed to be thinking of Silvermoon City and looked a little worried.
"What was your favorite toy as a child?"
Carlos asked.
"It should be...well, then my father gave it to me."
"..."
Carlos suddenly didn't want to be friends with Kael'thas.
