Chapter 102 Continue the Journey (1)
I remember that in my dream it was on the snow, a familiar figure stabbed me in the sword, but now I don’t remember it at all. Bixxxge... I shook my head and thought about it carefully, but I still couldn’t think of any details. And in time, I didn’t allow me to think about those meaningless things, after all, it was almost time to gather.
Although this dream made me sweat in a cold sweat, coupled with the unconciliatory environment and the snowy weather, I still feel scared. But reality may be thankful to it. Because of this, I did not stay in bed. If I had slept at this time, some would have looked at it...
I quickly put on my armor and left the tent. At this moment, everyone finished the decoration in advance at the specified time. Maybe they thought they would soon embark on the journey back south to save their homes, but this time it was not exactly... I walked in front of the team as usual, but my face had become a little solemn, the look that was more solemn than I knew the news yesterday morning. And I didn't ride on the "Invincible". Some people have noticed my special behavior.
For example, I just glanced at Sylvanas with my own light... It seems that she is not strange, at least she gives people the feeling. I sighed and thought, but I can't pay too much attention to her at this time, because what I have to face is the decisions that everyone and myself are going to make.
"I think you all know that Gilness turned his soldiers into werewolf..." I walked to the middle position in front of the team and began to give the opening speech, but seeing that everyone was not touched, it seemed that everyone knew about this, so I continued. "Yes, this is something that everyone knows, but I also want to tell you a more terrible news. As far as I know, the gray-haired soul has been occupied by the demon, so our opponents are not the country facing the southwest of Gilness, but the regular army strengthened by the demon's power, and those enemies who have been transformed into monsters like the undead we see."
Speaking of this, the soldiers below were talking about it. Perhaps they didn't expect this to be the result. For me, this is the best time for me to express my will.
"Quiet, listen to me!" I raised the warhammer, and a wave of holy light attracted everyone's attention, and then continued to look at everyone who was paying attention to me. "This is the plan of the demons... They asked us to withdraw our troops, and then create new panic and threats at other appropriate times and places, and we will be restrained by the demons. Even if we can eliminate Gilness this time, we will have to run for the future to eliminate the horror created by the demons... I am worried that by that time their strength will be expanded, even so strong that we cannot resist. But now if we continue our journey here, I think we will soon be able to eliminate their main force and avoid future threats..."
Just as I wanted to continue saying that I was leaving some soldiers, a general under Uther interrupted my speech and raised objections.
"Are you going to give up? Even if we win, what can we do? The relatives and homes we protect will be ruined. What's the point of destroying the demons!"
It was obvious that he could represent more people's voices, and many soldiers below were clamoring to express their support for the general's opinions.
I could only look at their opposition with a serious look, not because of his offense to me, but because it seemed that it made me realize that it would be more difficult for me to implement Medivirsido than I thought... But it seemed that everyone did not make any extraordinary moves, just hoped that I would not give such orders.
"How could I give up my relatives! I just want to leave some soldiers to continue my unfinished journey. We cannot let the demons' plan succeed. We must make them pay the price now, otherwise we will still be threatened by the enemy in the future. Think about it, you don't know when our relatives and families will be drugged by others and become undead. They will even create or summon more terrifying demons to our world. So we must ensure that the country is not allowed to be defeated, and we must also leave some people to continue our unfinished career, because only in this way may prevent us from falling into the trap of the demons..."
Everyone didn't say anything for a long time, but not long after, everyone clicked on it.
The head agreed with my proposal, and another key question that followed was also raised by my master. This time he used the honorific title to me for the first time, although he did not recognize his recognition at this time.
"Your Highness, how many people are you going to keep?"
"You, my personal guards and the soldiers in the area near Stantosom, all the rest will go back." I said this, and everyone did not have much opinion, so they each prepared themselves. Some soldiers who were preparing to go back also put down their luggage and stood on the spot. Most of the troops continued to follow the next arrangements, and no one expressed their objections.
Yes, this is what I chose because Stantamme will be threatened by werewolf in the end, and if the undead counterattack, they will become the front line, so their concern for personally experiencing the undead is far higher than those wolves who are just rumored. In other words, everyone can accept this result more.
But I can't just leave us humans, of course we have to leave dwarves. After all, after losing the rangers, I must have firepower support and reconnaissance. Since the undead does not have ice dragons, the griffin should play a big role. Of course, the premise is that we can effectively eliminate the crypt demons...
Destroy the crypt demons...but I did not leave any weapon to fight them, and Jaina reminded me of this, but in her voice I realized what I had overlooked, such as the safety of some people.
"Alsace, how can you lack the support of the mage!"
"Because the werewolf in Gilness needs a more mage, and it is difficult for me to guarantee that Dalaran will intervene in this war with all his might..." I turned to explain to the questioning Jaina, but at this moment, I seemed to see the vague figure in my dream, and my head was a little dazed, although this did not affect my current understanding... "You lead everyone back now. If I have any mistakes here, then you will become Lordaeron instead..."
Jaina was first confused about my answer, but when she realized something, she immediately grabbed my hand and refuted it.
"Alsace! Why don't you let me stay?"
"Because I promised your father that he wanted you to go back safely..."
I murmured, now thinking about it, I seemed to be able to find this excuse, but how could this block her mouth?
"You still swear we will be together forever! How can you break my promise?"
Jaina looked a little aggrieved, and my friends also came forward to express their opinions separately.
"Your Highness, I will stay and complete the mission of continuing the Northern Expedition for you. Believe me, I can at least delay the progress of the demon." Manic seemed to realize that the purpose of my stay was to restrain the enemy, but how could he know the deeper reason? It was still difficult to explain this to him at this time. But if he didn't explain, how could he knock them out, and now he could only watch them shoot me.
"Your Highness, we'll do it for you. The country still needs you in the future." Luo Ning also said the same meaning as Manic, but at this moment I think I realize his importance, so I don't choose to remain silent...
"No, I have to stay, and you and Wenresa cannot stay here. You should go back to fight against Gilness!" I refuted this most important friend in front of the entire army. Obviously, he would not be willing to obey my orders, and he also had good reasons.
"My hometown of Fireplaceburg belongs to the Stantamme region. Of course I want to stay, and you have not vowed to protect my safety."
"Then you can ask Crasus when you go back..." I wanted to say, I promised the Red Dragon to protect your safety, but I don't think anyone would believe that there would be such a promise... I can only try to find other excuses, but what can I find? In public and private, these friends will no longer be separated from me at this time.
Yes, I don’t want to witness some things, whether good or bad, or not, with my friends, but things are not that simple. As a later generation, I know very well that Wenleza’s impression of future generations. If they become undead with me, then we cannot guarantee the future trend at all, so I will persuade this guy to leave no matter what.
I first glanced at Wenleza, but I
I felt that if Ronin used Wenleza's safety as a bargaining chip to persuade him not to stay here, but it seemed that it wouldn't work. I sighed again at this. Perhaps there was only one way to make him obey my orders, which was to tell him the truth.
"Loning, I need you more in the future." I walked into Luo Ning with murderous intent, grabbed his neck and told him the real reason. "You will encounter tasks that are more important than saving the Red Dragon Queen, and you and Wenresa need to complete, so you two must not stay here."
After saying that, I let him go. I thought he would be silent and think about what I said, but in fact it was not. He just looked at me more firmly and made the same move, put my neck and arms over and said sternly to me.
"Arsace, if you insist on staying, Wenresa and I can leave, but the person you love the most must stay because this is the warning given to me by Nozdom that time."
"Warning?" He let me go after he said it, and these words surprised me.
I looked at Luo Ning in confusion, but he returned to the first position without looking back at this moment. Wenresa hesitated for a moment and followed... I really didn't expect him to tell me this at this time, but if it was really as stated, perhaps the Bronze Dragon King had really noticed the gear of fate. But no matter what I wanted to do, I still wanted to do this from the bottom of my heart. After all, no matter what I had, I still wanted to be with her.
"Gianna, then you can stay." I hesitated for a moment and followed Ronning's advice, so I approached Gianna and comforted him. His mood was the same as his performance at this moment, and he smiled. But it seemed that she was still a little confused. I thought I must have wanted to know the details I had just talked to Ronning, but now is not the time to explain, and I can't explain to her those things that I still have doubts.
"Arsace... are you insisting on staying here?" Muladin, maybe I, the master, want to take my tribe members away, but since I chose him, he naturally would not refuse the request of his beloved disciple. And as a general, he should also know my hard work in doing this, maybe, but no matter what, I have to be confident at this time, after all, the troops I left behind want to go home alive.
"Yes, I must completely eliminate the threat of the undead..." I reiterated that order again, and turned to another person, and I thought this might be the last words I said to her. "Silvanas, you lead everyone back." I looked at General Ranger, and she still didn't say anything to me. It seemed that she had chosen to be indifferent to me to the end, but even so, I still have something to ask General Ranger. "If possible, I hope you can continue to help us fight Gilness, and..."
"Althuss! You want to use me again." Faced with my request, she exclaimed to me again, but this did not seem to surprise me. After all, after last night, I could not give her any hope, or put her in anything.
"I understand, then please lead everyone back..."
"We elves have no obligation to your alliance, don't try to order us." Before I finished speaking, she exclaimed anger at me again, and I was very confused and angry about this.
"Yes, you have no obligation, but we break up, at least we have to go back to our Great Six." As I said this, I felt like I was talking too much, so I took a deep breath and changed my tone and said. "We are all your comrades-in-arms, and no one questioned your identity as a commander. Even if I had offended you, you can't take your anger on everyone!"
"You seem to be wrong, the prince of humanity!" Sylvanas laughed contemptuously, and I realized the reason for the matter at this time. Yes, I took it for granted a little more. "Althuss, we did not come here for your alliance. We are simply destroying the threat of the demons, and I have never said to withdraw."
"Then why did you come here with me..."
"That's because I only know that you have the determination to resist the demons. Arthas, as long as there is a possibility of eliminating them, I will not give up." Sylvanas said angrily, but in another aspect, it seems that other consciousness can be contained... Maybe, at this time, he has led her Rangers troops back to his camp.
For such a result, I
I felt a little calm. I didn't expect that since she made this choice and said that, after I sent the army away, I looked at the tent of the rangers again at the city gate and thought. Maybe the feelings may be irreversible, but I might have some comfort in my heart... Although I don't know what this is, at least it can retain the strength of my remaining army this time, and maybe it is worth my gratitude.
Fortunately, but I don't know if the final result is the same. Although the Bronze Dragon King asked Luo Ning to tell me something, everything seemed to be confusing in my opinion. After all, the history I know has changed a lot. From my perspective, it may really change my destiny, but it may also become worse. For example, we all died here in battle, or all became undead, then who else can lead us humans to the west and face other choices. I even doubt whether this was a big bet by Nozdom. But since he pressed the weight on me, as me, I must not reject this opportunity for redemption...
