Dick came in disguise. Except Mograine, who was stationed here, no one knew his identity. On the one hand, it was in order not to cause chaos. On the other hand, the composition of the fearless fortress was very complex. No one could guarantee whether there were death believers who worked for natural disasters. These mice were very clever and annoying. No one knew when they would jump out, Sabotage the detailed plan.
Especially for paladins like Dick, there are only two landing sites in Northrend, one east and one west, and there are only two people, Fuding and Mograine. This has made the scourge very passive. Another Dick will definitely cause a wave of unnecessary trouble.
As I said earlier, the undead disaster also has its own small society. When the Lich King sleeps, the arrival of Dick and the chaos caused by the undead disaster may make the situation of the intrepid fortress and Zhiyuan County, which are still in the expansion state, very passive.
No matter how strong Dick is, he is just a man. He can't protect these brave pioneers in the north wind tundra forever.
From the perspective of Dick, who is dressed as a literary officer of the kingdom of Lordaeron, the order of the fortress is basically neat. In this city, which covers an area of at least two-thirds of the size of stansom, there are not so many kinds of cities in the civilized world. Its whole body is divided into three parts. The dock area is used to repair warships, These warships travel between Northrend and the east every seven days to transport soldiers and supplies, and sometimes go deep into Northrend's sea territory to fight against lawless pirates.
Speaking of course, the Pirates of Northrend have become more and more crazy during this period. There have even been incidents of pirate ships besieging the fearless fortress. Of course, Mograine and the bloody Crusaders are stationed here. The pirates lost one third of their manpower and even failed to fight down the dock of the fortress. In the end, they had to flee.
This incident has something to do with Dick. These pirates belong to the forces of the blood sail pirates. There are two large-scale camps of the pirate Gang, one is the mysterious plunder Island, and the other is the rogue harbor in the north. In exchange for the help of kurtiras, Dick tells dalene the location of these two places, and then the blood sail pirates suffer, Dailin personally took the sea monarchy and three fleets to the plunder island in the South China Sea, while brigadier general Matthew, who has been more and more important in recent years, took the rest of the fleet to the rogue harbor to support the northern expedition.
I don't know how the battle of plundering the island is going. However, the rogue harbor in howling Bay, a logistics port, was almost completely destroyed by the attack of the kurtiras Navy. In order to survive, the escaped pirates had to take refuge in the natural disasters. Some of them had to live in the sea again and had no way to go, Attacking the fearless fortress with your life is just a way to survive.
Behind the dock area is the largest building and barracks of the fort. There are at least 1 W3 thousand soldiers and thousands of horses living here. It doesn't smell very good, but it can at least provide a safe resting place. The innermost part is the headquarters, where Mograine and the generals live.
In addition, on the wide north wind tundra, there are three other silver Northern Expedition camps scattered, but they are all reconnaissance or logistics camps, and some Rangers patrolling the whole plain. On the whole, Mograine, an old general, has been in this place for more than three months, We have initially established an effective defense system, and when there are enough reinforcements in the rear, we will launch an attack against the local forces of natural disasters in one go.
When Dick meets old Mograine, the old knight looks in a good mood. He hugs Dick, invites dick from afar to sit on the chair, takes out two glasses, and shakes a bottle of unique wine in front of Dick's eyes,
"This is the deep-sea Spirit given to us by the local walrus people. You will like the taste. In this cold weather, if you drink a glass of this wine, the whole person will warm up."
Dick puts his eyes on the big map hanging on the wall behind Mograine, which records the situation of the whole north wind tundra with various complex lines. He is no longer a junior soldier, and now this kind of military map is enough for him to understand the speed and situation of the current war.
A few seconds later, Dick takes his eyes away from the map, holds up his glass, and goes down with a strong drink. His stomach is groaning, which makes dick grin and makes Mograine laugh.
"When I was fighting with marshal LOSA, marshal said that a soldier who can't drink is not a good soldier."
Mograine drank all the liquor in front of him, and then vomited,
"But he thought the marshal was wrong. You are a good soldier, but you don't like drinking."
Dick waved his hand, calmed his twitching stomach, and began to talk about business. "From your map, we've captured the coastline? Is it up to us to deal with the local natural disasters? "
The old knight moved his wrist and said,
"Of course, they won't wait for us to expand our power, but without an effective command, they are not our opponents. In the past three months, we have fought with the local undead four times and never lost. We have captured the coastline from them with the swords of our soldiers, At the moment, Bridget and Dalian are taking the follow-up troops of the bloody Crusaders to try to open up a new landing site in the keel wilderness. When it is completed, we are equivalent to setting two nails on this continent, and no one is going to drive us away. "
Faced with Mograine, Dick no longer hid himself. After a brief understanding of the local situation, he asked the most important thing about his visit this time,
"So, alexandro, what do you think of the northern expedition? Why did we fight this war? "
This question is somewhat strange, but out of his trust in Dick, Mograine thought for a moment and clenched his fist,
"Revenge, and burn the war to the undead. We are the new wall of Lordaeron. If we don't fall down, the undead can't enter the civilized world."
Dick nodded noncommittally and then talked about his plans,
"Have you ever thought about that, alexandro? You know, the people support the Northern Expedition because they think the war can protect them. But for us, we all know that the war can't be ended in at least two years. Even if we kill Alsace, can we let go of the whole Northrend? After the end of the war, the war of purification is bound to drag on for a longer time... Do you think that after five years, the people who are tired of the war will still support us? Even if they support it, can the national strength of the new Lordaeron bear it? "
Dick accentuated, "this is a whole continent of the dead, to purify them, even if we are tired to death, 10 years is also an impossible task."
"So?"
Mograine frowned. He knew that Dick's words were not alarmist. During the orc war in those years, if the orcs did not fight in Lordaeron, most people would not pay much attention to the orcs who almost overturned the whole continent. It has nothing to do with wisdom. The will of millions of people after they gathered together is naturally short-sighted, It's a matter of human nature.
The old knight waited for Dick to give him an answer, and Dick didn't let him down. He reached out and pointed to the land outside Mograine's window, the tundra in the north wind, which was covered with cold.
"Here, alexandro, when I got off the boat just now, I saw the pioneers gathering the crops under the protection of the army. Do you know the land here?"
Speaking of this problem, Mograine's brows spread and his face was a little relaxed. "Of course, I have to say that it was the right choice for me to bring these farmers. The soil here is more fertile than Lordaeron. It's incredible. In just three months, we harvested a crop of wheat, although it's not enough to be self-sufficient, But it's much faster than originally planned. "
"Yes! Alexandro, the land here is so fertile, why should we leave it to natural disasters? Or let it be destroyed by war? "
Dick waved his arm, and his voice relaxed,
"I talked to her majesty before I came here..."
Speaking of her majesty, Dick's face had a subtle change, but the old knight didn't notice that he was waiting for Dick's next words.
"Well?"
"Your Majesty means that she intends to turn the north wind tundra into the sixth province of Lordaeron and give all the land here to the people and nobles in exchange for their support. If her plan is successful, we can at least provide enough land for 3W civilian families to cultivate. In terms of the area of the North wind tundra, there will be at least 20 barons here, Or 10 powerful earls, and a noble marquis. "
Dick's eyes narrowed,
"With our continuous progress, more and more lands will be liberated. These lands will be given priority to veterans and nobles who lost their fiefdoms because of the invasion of the dead. As long as they stand on our side, Lordaeron will not give up. The most important thing is that when the civilians get the land they dream of, when they get used to the life here, What will they do when they know that the dead are coming to destroy? "
"They will stand up and fight with us... To experience the feeling of losing their home once is enough."
Old Mograine's eyes also brightened, and his family lost their fiefdoms in the invasion of the undead. Tirisfa, a place where the undead and werewolf are kept, is not a good place. In the next 20 years, it will not be suitable for human survival, but if we change the fiefdoms to the north wind tundra
The old knight remembered the excitement of the farmers when he was harvesting the grain a few days ago. He silently weighed Dick's words and finally put forward an unavoidable question.
"But the natural disaster of the dead will not allow us to do so. If we want to go to the frontier, our military strength is not enough, and other forces..."
"No! You can't go to the frontier, at least not until you kill Alsace! Before that, we can only carry out it on a small scale, first to bring the nobles, and then to bring in the civilians who have lost their land. "
Dick shook his head and asked another question, "is knight fording doing well in Howling Fjord?"
Mograine shook his head. "It's very bad. Compared with the situation in the north wind tundra, it's very bad there. In the letter ferding wrote to me, the place is ruled by the viku, and those semi giants are hard to deal with. Moreover, ferding suspects that they are colluding with the undead. They are evil allies. It's really disgusting. They can only take defensive measures over there, and it's hard to counter attack."
"Then get them back, and we'll attack the tundra with all our strength!"
Dick turned. "Alexandro, with you and Tirion's army, how long will it take to clear the whole tundra of the north wind?"
"There are 1W people in fording's side, if all of them are put here."
Old Mograine got up from his chair, took a few steps at his desk, and finally came to the conclusion, "three months at most! I can guarantee that there won't be a lot of undead left in the whole north wind tundra. The biggest threat to this place is the climate, but if there are enough mages, all the attack plans can be completed in two months. "
"Two months. At that time, almost Alsace will wake up, so do it! We adjusted our strategy so that the reinforcements coming from other forces would land from the keel wilderness. In this way, two months later, Alsace would wake up and find that the Allied forces had already hit his home, and he would not have time to harass the north wind tundra. "
"But on the other side of howling wind Fjord, if the viku really make an alliance with the natural disaster, they can't let it go. When the war is going on, they suddenly come out of howling wind Fjord, which will only be a disaster for everyone."
"So I'll go over there and give the Vikings to me, believe me, Alessandro."
Dick smiles and waves. "What do you think of the idea?"
Old Mograine looked at the confident Dick and shook his head,
"Not so much, frankly. You take it for granted, Dick."
