Chapter 91: The Battle of the Plague (9)
He left, believing that the demons he stayed here and the remaining undead believers were not in a short time. 21?? I felt that I could breathe a sigh of relief for a while. So I lay relaxed on the ground and re-examined what happened next.
‘Melganier wants me to go to Northrend’
Whether to go by himself is indeed a very worthy question. His purpose of letting me go there is very clear, which is to let me go there and lead me into desperate situations according to his plan and force me to pull out the grief of frost, and then become their puppet, and then...
Thinking of this result, I couldn't help but shake my head, as if I could choose to escape, because after such a sneak attack by the Scourge, we had completely produced antibodies, which made them no longer able to create panic like today. I have evidence to say so confidently, after all, we can force him back to the north. If we give our all, this demon has no chance of winning at all. And I also believe that if those ancient dragon clans knew that there was a fearful demon king, they would at least secretly support us, such as sending more powerful creatures like Crassus to support us.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel that I could feel completely at ease.
However, when I saw Crasus' dragon form flying towards me with his friends from afar, I felt that maybe it was a bit too conservative... The exhibition now is no longer as bad as I remember. First, Stantome was not slaughtered, nor did it affect my will at all. Secondly, in terms of the emotional crisis... well, it is not that serious, or it is not as desperate as it is, because the one I love is still following me, so it is still hard for me to imagine that he can guide me to
That direction; again, the most important and most important is that our current strength may be far higher than the current Scourge, and in terms of personal strength alone, Crasus is also far stronger than Melganier. Yes, as long as the Red Dragon Mage joins the ranks of our Northern Expedition and goes there to seek the help of the Blue Dragon Karegoth, I would never have thought that there would be a possibility of losing, and I am lucky enough to get a large 6 territory, because I am sure that the elves do not like such cold and deserted places as their place to survive...
Thinking of this, I stood up and stood up. Yes, I seemed to have stronger belief in the Northern Expedition. Moreover, I thought that the only possibility of failure was that they could summon big men like Archmond or Kilgardan, but then again, if they really had that ability or plan, then our best way was to eliminate it as soon as possible.
I thought about this again and deeply felt that this was feasible. So after all my friends arrived, I immediately informed the plan before they asked about what happened here.
"I think we will go to Northrend to completely eliminate the demons and their minions like the expeditionary forces back then." I made my point to everyone, and no one expressed clear opposition to this, but someone showed a little concern and supplement.
"I think this is the devil's trick. He seems to be luring us to the north." Wenresa first expressed her opinion. Yes, she did not express opposition, but just put forward some understanding rationally. Of course, I have to persuade this voice with rational understanding.
"He thought we were not familiar with the place, but he ignored that we had a good guide, Crasus, and Karegoth, who lives in his hometown. You dragon clan should be more familiar with it than the demons." I turned to the Red Dragon Mage who was transforming into a human form, and perhaps his identity was exposed again in public, so he looked a little unhappy.
"Alsace, don't be too confident. Caregus may not help you." Crasus transformed into a human form again and walked into me.
"You are worried that the Blue Dragons are controlled by their madness..."
"Yes, Alsace." Crasus just grabbed the topic before he could finish his words. He probably didn't want me to reveal more about the dragon clan's scandal. "But I'm still familiar with the terrain, so I can help."
Seeing that Crasus would follow me, I showed a smug smile in my heart, yes...
"That's enough, after all, the only thing you have to face is a demon king of fear."
As I said this, no one seemed to question the decision of the Northern Expedition again. The next thing was to discuss how to carry out this battle, such as materials and food.
"But our army is not enough for the Northern Expedition."
"Of course not enough. I will second half of Lordaeron's troops first. I believe my father will not object to me."
"Well and the Gilness front?"
"The orcs will hold them back, and even if there are only half of the troops, I believe they will deal with Gilness or even..." I took it for granted that those countries that were not friendly to our Lordaeron, but I almost said Quelthalas in front of Sylvanas. Fortunately, I had other shields to let me fulfill this sentence, "The Rapids and their coalition are not a problem."
"But how do we transport so many troops to the north?"
"I will have my father send some large troop ships and frigates to support this war."
"That's so thankful." I showed joy from the bottom of my heart when I heard Jaina support this action. Yes, I was so excited not because of the support of her country, but because I thought that even if I encountered the most tragic solution, I wouldn't seem to be lonely...
I was so excited, but my behavior seemed to be a little disgusting with her, which made her look a little angry. "I mean it's necessary." I couldn't hide the excitement in my heart. It was not until Sylvanas's cold words that I immediately returned to my peace.
"I think you have to deal with some things."
"What's the matter?" I looked at the elf in confusion. Actually, I really hoped that what he said was my relationship with her, but the reality was another relationship that made me feel a headache. She pointed to the smoke and dust in the southwest. Yes, their elfs could always see things we couldn't see. "Your master Uther is here, and some villagers have already reported to him the mistake you just made here."
"The mistake made?" I was puzzled for a moment, but my dishonest behavior immediately attracted a burst of ridicule from Sylvanas.
"Alsace, don't think I didn't see you and your soldiers slaughtering a part of the people on your way on the back of the Red Dragon, and you have sued you for the rest of your life."
"Damn it!" Hearing this, my smile disappeared. Yes, my behavior has seriously violated his beliefs, and perhaps he will not give up on me this time.
Before they arrived, I gathered troops to wait for them. The soldiers and guards of other barracks were overjoyed when they heard that Uther was about to come, because they would think that this exciting general would definitely boast about their hard work these days and their contributions to the country. But the reality was not the case. Uther led a main force of Lordaeron, almost ten times more than us, and surrounded us like annihilated a group of bandits. And on his angry face, the soldiers immediately felt something was wrong, and even showed a warning between the two sides.
I was not surprised at all about this, and I wouldn't believe that we would take action, at least the soldiers wouldn't... because this is completely my relationship with Uther.
"General, you seem to be late."
"Hmph! Yes, I didn't see you committing a sin." Facing my slightly sarcastic tone, Uther, who was already angry, was even more furious to me. "Althuss! You actually ordered violence against unarmed civilians. Is this a thing?"
"You didn't see the situation at that time. If our troops killed those wizards as soon as possible, the citizens who complained to you might be the dead."
"You are actually making excuses for yourself. Do you still remember the oath you promised to the Holy Light?"
"Is it wrong to protect your own people not a slogan, but an action. Is it wrong to exchange for the greatest results with the smallest loss?"
"That's what you're going to say?"
"At least I am worthy of my conscience."
"Hmph, if they are all infected with the plague, are you going to massacre them in the city?"
"I will do this even if I have no choice." Hearing Uther say this, I seemed to tell him the truth, and of course this would further escalate our quarrel. At least, we are not so polite to each other.
"Alsace!"
"Uther! You have never fought with the undead, and you have never seen those creatures, so you have no idea what they will become after being infected and guided by the demons. The relatives do not recognize them."
"Are you like this?"
"Well, general, I don't want to argue with you, but I hope you recognize the situation and make comments."
"Of course I have to figure out the situation, and I also want to tell you the father and tell him what you are doing here."
"That's the best! But I don't have time to waste here. I will take the troops you brought this time to seek justice from the demons."
"I order in the name of General Lordaeron, you cannot mobilize any army."
"This is not allowed to do so, Uther, you have no right to make temporary arbitrary decisions, and we have no subordinate relationships without our master-apprentice relationship, and I am sure that you will obey my orders after all."
"Arsace, if you do something that is unreasonable, who else will obey your orders! The Holy Light will also abandon you."
Uther pointed at me with his finger, and I hesitated for a moment, but after summoning a wave of holy light, I seemed to feel that this sacred power had no intention of abandoning me at all, so I was more bold and made the least choice I wanted, that is, to raise my own warhammer.
"But I'm sorry, the Holy Light didn't say what you said to you." I shook my head at him, and I did think I did nothing wrong, but since I couldn't solve the problem, I could only do that. "I don't want to do this either! But if this is the only possibility that can convince you..."
Because my quarrel with Uther might have to escalate to confrontation, the only one who could speak up finally stopped me from continuing. Maybe she thought I could talk about this Paladin, or she thought she would not have reached this point.
"Arsace! You can't do this. He is your master. How can you do this?"
"Because I need a group of soldiers to help me achieve the Northern Expedition, you know."
"Then I can ask my father to send some out..." Jaina said, but before she could finish her words, I signaled him not to say such words.
"This Northern Expedition is purely voluntary. If you want, you can register with me. But I hope you will know clearly that the significance of this Northern Expedition is no less than the expedition organized by Tulayang at that time. Of course, I swear in the name of the Holy Light that I will try my best to bring you back as much as possible."
As I said this, I ignored Uther and signaled our soldiers and partners who had been walking along the way to leave here and turn to the city of Stantam.
As for the other soldiers surrounding us, they naturally did not dare to stop us. Yes, they were not the lord's troops like Dunhold, but the direct army of Lordaeron. Even if the general who obeyed the order to put us under house arrest, they would consider whether they would implement it. What's more, Uther just expressed indignation and disappointment at me, and would not want to face me at all, so they naturally would not block my way.
After several of our friends saluted him, they all followed my pace and went to that direction together.
Although I looked very determined, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and regretful about what just happened. Yes, Uther was so anxious to lead Lordaeron to Stantolome, because he heard that I was in danger here. Perhaps if he hadn't seen those Stantolome refugees, I believe that it's probably me and him who entered the city happily now, but the reality is that we were still having a stalemate on the battlefield...
In fact, I really hope it is the last time. I hope it is better to use my own actions to prove the significance of this time.
But the only thing that is thankful is that our relationship seems to be better than the plot, and I will cancel her official position. But on the other hand, if I had revoked him at that time, would he be allowed to hand over the command to me this time according to my order?
I quickly shook my head and denied this idea, because that would hurt the Paladin's heart even more. But this cannot solve my current problem, because I seem to be unable to take away more troops, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce my Northern Expedition strength and even bankrupt the plan for this Northern Expedition.
I walked in anger and helplessly. When I walked into the city and looked at the devastated city and the remaining citizens who remained vigilant to us, I still felt that I might be a little wrong. Yes, at least I really did something that I felt sorry for the people, maybe it was just maybe, if I didn't issue an order to massacre citizens, or if I ordered the release of people as soon as possible, it might not be like this.
Maybe Jaina realized that I was a little regretful, so she walked in and comforted me.
"Arsace, I think you should talk to Uther, after all, as you said, he has never seen the undead creature..."
"Okay, I hope he doesn't be too stubborn." As I said this, I couldn't help but look at Sylvanas. Yes, I could instinctively think of another person who was cold with me, but looking at her still cold, it seemed that I shouldn't expect anything. "I think I'll look for an opportunity to talk to him."
"He will give you a chance, but it's all for face. After all, no one will doubt that when you are in danger, he will not fight to save you to the death, otherwise how could he do his best to lead his troops and rush here from afar." Jaina also looked at Sylvanas, as if she was a pun.
"Hope." I replied with mixed feelings, and Jaina still encouraged me.
"You must believe that those feelings that were once were not so easily broken." After she said this, she turned to Crasus. "Master, let's go to Kultilas together and tell my father the news of the Northern Expedition, and let him support our Northern Expedition ships and food and wages."
"Yeah, I understand."
Crasus then created a portal, and then when the two people entered, the traces completely disappeared. I might have understood Jaina's intention, which was to let me take advantage of this time to save some possible things.
