Although Carlos and his team had shortened the physical distance between them and Alterac City due to the starry night journey to return reinforcements, the large-scale unassisted precise positioning transmission still depleted Kael'thas' vitality.
So of course he was absent from this battle.
"Your Majesty, you..."
"Shut up and lead people into the battle. Our allies must always be reminded that the high elves are by their side."
"yes."
The incident on the battlefield did not attract the attention of others.
Compared with other world lines, the situation faced by Kael'thas has been much better.
After all, human beings have recovered from the brink of national annihilation, and they are not so harsh on their allies.
At the same time, although Silver Moon City's vitality was severely damaged, it was not yet the end of the country.
Population has a red line.
Although Arthas went all the way and severely damaged the high elves, he did not completely destroy the order of Quel'Thalas like other world lines.
Many high elves died of hunger, disease, and wandering natural disaster stragglers after Silvermoon City was breached.
Today, these elves who were supposed to die have survived with organized rescue.
So high elves are still high elves and have not yet transformed into blood elves.
Although he suffered heavy casualties, Kael'thas still had the energy to defend his country and at the same time dispatch a group of mages to support the Alliance war in Lordaeron.
This is the biggest difference from other world lines.
There is a big difference between asking for others and simply asking for others.
With Kel'Thuzad's resurrection, the Sunwell's magic has been tainted.
But this contamination is not permanent.
Kael'thas in other world lines simply does not have enough material reserves, spellcasting talents, and enough time to deal with this pollution, so for the future of his people, he must blow up the sunwell.
But things are different now. The Alliance and the Scourge are going head-to-head, and they are not falling behind. The Alliance, which still controls half of the human world, has enough magic material reserves to provide magic supplies for the high elf mages.
The side effects of magic addiction are not that obvious.
To put it bluntly, addiction is not a disease of poverty.
When Carlos was furious, the Scourge felt tremendous pressure.
On the battlefield of Alterac, there were only two super-normal beings, Kel'Thuzad and Carlos.
Kel'Thuzad wanted to protect Naxxramas from being shot down, and Carlos was worried about the production areas on the plateau being destroyed. Both guys were a little distracted.
Therefore, everyone watching the battle did not wait for the expected king vs. king battle.
However, if Kel'Thuzad didn't attack with all his strength, the Scourge in his hands would not be able to shake the city of Alterac.
Because reinforcements from the human side are arriving in a steady stream.
In the end, the Alterac people paid nearly 8,000 casualties and destroyed tens of thousands of undead Scourge. After Kel'Thuzad completed its set goal, he calmly retreated south.
The only thing worth mentioning is the last aerial battleship that was saved with great difficulty.
"As of today, it is the Enterprise, the new flagship of the Alliance Air Force."
Although everyone doesn't know why the Dawn changed its name, Carlos has the final say.
From a tactical point of view, Kel'Thuzad's air attack on Alterac was a strategic misjudgment by the Alliance military headquarters, and it was necessary to capture some staff members to kill them.
However, from a campaign perspective, Kel'Thuzad, the brains of the Scourge, left the main battlefield, which would have more advantages than disadvantages.
But Carlos always felt that something was wrong.
But he couldn't figure it out.
Allowing Naxxramas to go all the way south will seriously threaten Hillblade and even the Arathi region.
Kel'Thuzad could fly around the world regardless of the terrain, but the Alliance couldn't chase him over mountains and ridges on horseback.
Therefore, the third generation of the Enterprise has great expectations placed on it.
Even if you can't kill Naxxramas, it's still a good thing not to lose him.
After a short emergency repair, Magni Bronzebeard overcame the public opinion (not a typo) and took over the captain's position. Kael'thas served as the chief magic advisor and participated in the pursuit of Naxxramas.
A luxurious pursuit force was quickly formed.
It's up to Kel'Thuzad to do whatever he wants, and Carlos won't follow the old man's lead.
In fact, Carlos contacted the Dragon Legion after the undead disaster broke out.
Although reactionary forces from all sides were interfering with the Aspect Dragon's involvement in this disaster, even the Bronze Dragon had to admit that Carlos had indeed withstood this natural disaster without the help of external forces.
So the green dragon responded to Carlos' call for help.
In the fight to retake Stratholme, the Green Dragonflight of the Hinterlands can help.
At the same time, at the time of crisis, the plan to rearm the orcs was proceeding step by step.
Although there is great controversy, one must choose between orcs and undead, and humans will definitely choose orcs.
In Darrow County, more than 30,000 orc troops and about 12,000 trolls are transporting war supplies through rugged mountain roads. Sylvanas and Halduron are also actively preparing corresponding troops. Uther The theoretical strength is 200,000, but at least 80,000 can be mobilized directly from the west side of Baishui River.
Coupled with the promised assistance from the Emerald Legion, a three-pronged attack has been launched.
But that's not all Carlos has planned.
Fighting against the undead natural disasters with punches and kicks will either make you lose, or you will suffer a huge loss.
So he was going to play the next best thing.
While attacking the elite undead troops in the Stratholme area on the western front, Carlos was preparing to advance east and west from the Bulwark Pass and the Silverpine Forest Mountain Pass at the same time to launch an operation to retake Lordaeron.
While Azeroth's productivity levels are erratic, the chain of command is truly primitive.
The absence of a large number of command personnel is the biggest obstacle to the implementation of this plan.
Therefore, Carlos was not in the mood to care about what Kel'Thuzad wanted to do. What was before him were countless troop deployment plans and material transportation plans.
At present, the number of humans in Lordaeron is only about four million after suffering the undead natural disaster, and this combat plan alone requires as many as half a million combatants.
It is already a very exaggerated proportion.
But the benefits are also obvious.
Once successful, the Undead Scourge will completely withdraw from the Lordaeron region, and an [Alliance] knitted together by suffering will almost be a replica of the Arathor Empire.
Crisis Crisis is both danger and opportunity.
The current situation of the Undead Scourge and the Alliance Army is exactly the same.
The Stratholme area is home to about 300,000 elites left by Alsace and more than 200,000 locally converted undead units. They have strong combat capabilities. However, Stratholme City cannot afford to supply such a number of Scourge legions. Materials are in short supply and repairs are needed. difficulty.
Uther's theoretical strength was 200,000, but he could not drag down the long supply line and could not mobilize at full strength. The lying "U" shaped landform in the Stratholme area also determined that the battlefield must be divided into two halves.
In the city of Lordaeron, the Scourge of the Undead is doing whatever it wants based on the 400 years of accumulation of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but it cannot cover up the lack of quality under the huge quantity. Instead, the alliance that regained the barrier took the strategic initiative.
So Carlos kept talking about the deployment of Kul Tiras' ocean fleet to Lake Lordamre and dispatching the newly formed legions to the western battlefield.
Two hundred thousand versus six hundred thousand, three hundred thousand versus one million.
Although the Alliance is at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers, as long as all troops are in place, the Alliance will equal the Scourge in terms of combat effectiveness.
This battle is completely winnable!
In this plan, which is almost a gamble on the fate of the country, Kel'Thuzad's southward assault is really not that important.
During this dreary and suffocating preparation time, Carlos received the news of Turayan's return, and was so happy that his face was expressionless.
