It is unfortunate that they are about to face this kind of enemy, but fortunately, they soon also ushered in the support of extraordinary power.
In the holy city of Stratholme, the first batch of Silver Hand recruits have now been drilled. Soon after Lothar led the Alliance’s main force to reach Thoradin’s Wall and stationed, the Silver Hand Paladins arrived here and led them. It is the remaining few of the six silver saints: Uther Lightbringer, Gavinrad Doom, Saidan Dathohan, Tirion Fording, and Liadrin.
Among them, Uther is the leader of everyone, followed by Gavinrad, Saidan and Tirion.
Since Liadrin was a high elf that was inserted through Ye Ting's relationship, she formed a line in the hand of silver, leading all the high elf paladins in the hand of silver. And because of this, in the army of the alliance, on the surface they have to follow Sylvanas, the commander-in-chief of the high elves. In fact, they are under the orders of her introducer, and they are also given to her by the other five silver holy sages. The man with the power of the seal-Ye Ting.
Her deputy was the elite warrior Ye Ting personally introduced to her, Lellola, known as the Dawn Slayer. Now that she has mastered the power of the Holy Light, Lellola can truly be called the Dawn Killer.
After the Silver Hand arrived, the commander-in-chief Lothar immediately summoned his men and began a combat meeting to discuss the next goal.
"Let's talk about it all," Lothar waved a big hand at the combat meeting and said to the two rows of Alliance generals sitting on both sides: "What should we do next and how to deal with our opponents."
"Is there any choice," the new Silver Hand commander Uther said eagerly, "Of course, immediately support Stromgarde and rescue Your Majesty Thoras! We can't let any alliance king die here. "
"A reckless move!" As soon as Uther's voice fell, Sylvanas snorted and retorted: "The Horde has such a powerful force as a death knight, and it has captured the defense line of the Thador Bridge in just one encounter. We don’t know anything about such dark powers, and to attack like this is simply irresponsible for the lives of our soldiers."
"The Silver Hand will be responsible for fighting the Death Knight!" Uther said loudly, "The power of the Holy Light will disperse all darkness. With the Silver Hand Paladin, the Death Knight will not be an obstacle to the Alliance."
"The power of the holy light... is pretty good." Sylvanas sneered mockingly at Uther's declaration. "But who knows how your recruits will perform on the battlefield, I I will never pin the lives of my soldiers on illusory hopes."
"Please don't question the power of the Paladin, Lady Windrunner." Facing Sylvanas' questioning, Uther's expression became serious.
"Yes, the power of the Holy Light is invincible!" The others in the Silver Hand also echoed.
It was originally a meeting to discuss strategic decision-making, but the atmosphere became tense because of the fierce debate.
Lothar shook his head. Just about to speak, his adjutant Turalyon immediately stood up and persuaded everyone on both sides to go back.
After no one spoke, Lothar nodded and said: "The opinion of the Silver Hand is to directly support Stromgarde. Miss Sylvanas objected, so what is your opinion?"
"My opinion is to garrison the Wall of Thoradin, wait for work, and wait for the orcs to attack." Sylvanas said, pointing to the map, "Look at everyone, although the Horde successfully broke through the defense line of the Thador Bridge, come Arrived on the continent of Lordaeron, but after entering the Arathi Highlands, they can actually walk not much: the east and west of the Arathi Highlands are the sea, and the north is a natural danger that is difficult to cross, the Alterac Mountains, so they After occupying Arathi Highlands, there are only two ways to go further if you want to go further-either storm the Thoradin Wall and enter the Hillsbrad Hills; or venture across the Alterac Mountains and head to the Hinterlands ."
Everyone nodded approvingly as they looked at the topographic map of Arathi Highlands in front of them.
"Actually, in my opinion, as long as we can hold on to Thoradin’s Wall, whichever path the orcs choose, we will have the advantage. In fact, breaking Thoradin’s Wall and entering Hillsbrad Hills is their best Choice, because Hillsbrad Hills is a place of four battles. As long as you enter here, the tribe can choose the next target at will. They can pick up the soft persimmon and take the smallest country Alterac first; they They can also go straight to Huanglong and attack the Kingdom of Lordaeron in the hinterland of the alliance; they can also cut off the wings of the alliance, cross the silver pine forest, and attack the more western Gilneas. At that time, our alliance will fall into a passive position, taking into account the various allies. In safety, we either had to divide our troops and fortify them everywhere, and finally we were defeated by each one. If we force our troops together, we will have to face the alienation within the alliance, which can be said to be in a dilemma..."
"Ms. Sylvanas is too right," the ranger general said halfway, Lothar's adjutant Turalyon immediately agreed, "Compared to the ownership of Arathi Highlands, what is more important at present is Greek The safety of Elsbrad Hills is really necessary to defend Thoradin’s Wall."
However, his active approval did not get Sylvanas' favor, and the ranger general even glared at him because of his extra effort.
In addition, Ye Ting and Uther also cast strange glances at him.
Ye Ting felt very strange that Turalyon would take the initiative to approve of Sylvanas, referring to the precedent in the original book that the paladin fell in love with Alleria, he did so in a reasonable way—maybe He really is the type who has no resistance to elves at all.
However, whether it is Alleria or Sylvanas, even if Turalyon finally fell in love with Vereesa, Ye Ting can tell him clearly: You are thinking of eating ass.
As for Uther, he might be dissatisfied with Turalyon's opposition to his opinion.
As the first-generation paladins, Turalyon and Uther are both noble morals, but this does not mean that they are both saints.
Compared with Turalyon, Uther's beliefs are purer, but also more "pedantic". Such pedantic makes him only general. In comparison, Turalyon is more realistic and can see the nature of war better. In this way, he can be said to be handsome. It is also in the original book that he took over the duties of the Lothar Alliance commander.
This is the source of their contradiction.
What's more, although Uther is noble, he doesn't like being directed by others. Lothar and Faol were able to live on it by virtue of their qualifications, and gave him orders, but Turalyon... the little brother actually dared to refute my opinion, not on the road.
Chapter 0553
It must be mentioned that although there are some contradictions between Uther and Turalyon, Uther is Uther after all.
This noble Paladin abides by his duties and the Paladin's creed, and all his dissatisfaction will be kept in his heart. As the commander of the Silver Hand and a member of the Alliance, he will not do anything against orders because of these.
However, it is an indisputable fact that Turalyon, a league adjutant who is a little eager to show himself, had a bad effect on him because of what he said just now.
When Turalyon finished speaking and Lothar was about to ask the other people's opinions, the Wildhammer Dwarf King, now one of the generals, Falstad Wildhammer, spoke eagerly.
"Well, who can explain to me, what if the orcs didn't attack Thoradin's Wall, but entered the Hinterlands through Alterac Mountains."
The Eagle's Nest Mountain of the Wildhammer dwarves is located in the Hinterlands, and Falstad naturally cares about it so much.
As a result, everyone's eyes turned to Sylvanas again.
Sylvanas shrugged and said, "In fact, compared to Thoradin's Wall, if the Horde enters the Hinterlands, it is more in my mind."
As soon as her voice fell, Falstad immediately got anxious eyes. Is this unclear pitting them Wildhammer dwarves? He was about to refute, but was stopped by Ye Ting.
"Listen to her." Ye Ting said lightly.
Others don't need to give face to others. Falstad still wants to give Ye Ting the face of the great mage. Although the story about the red dragon and the guardian dragon had not been spread, Falstad had heard about Ye Ting from his younger brother Kurdran, which made Ye Ting's position in his eyes once again elevated.
That's the one who is favored by the dragons.
Nodded to Ye Ting, Sylvanas continued: "In fact, if Archmage Liver had not led an army to eliminate the trolls in the Hinterlands, I would not dare to say such a thing. In fact, we can. I saw that the Hinterlands and the large tracts of land in the north are dense forests and complex mountains. Except for the Wildhammer dwarves of the Eagle's Nest Mountain, there are basically no people. For the Alliance, this is their natural danger, but For the tribe, these forests and mountains are difficult obstacles to deal with. To cross these complex terrains to attack the hinterland of the alliance, for a large number of tribes, it takes an astronomical amount of time and food. On the one hand, the alliance can pass Geography and supply advantages weaken the tribe in this forest and mountains. On the other hand, we can also get a respite. As for Eagle's Nest Mountain, the terrain there is more dangerous than Stromgarde, almost comparable to Ironforge. , The orcs can't take this place at all, instead they will fall into a war of attrition because of this, why not do it?"
Even Falstad had to admit that Sylvanas was reasonable, but it was not Sylvanas that was most admired by those present at this time, but Ye Ting, who had basically never spoken.
Although Sylvanas' strategy can be called old-fashioned and impeccable, but when they heard this, they suddenly realized that it was the mage in front of them that actually caused this favorable situation.
He had anticipated this possibility long before the war officially began, so he connected the tribe of humans, high elves and wildhammer dwarves in advance to encircle and suppress almost all the trolls in the eastern part of Lordaeron.
The original alliance generally believed that the main purpose of his actions was to train troops and win over the high elves allies.
But now, they discovered Ye Ting's biggest purpose.
If the troll is still there, then the Hinterland will become a breakthrough point for the alliance. With these natives of Lordaeron here, the tribe can run rampant in the Hinterland and even further north Zuraman and Silver Moon as long as they are drawn together. The forest, unscrupulously went from there to the rear of the alliance to attack Quel'Thalas and the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
However, after the trolls were besieged and suppressed, the Hinterlands changed and became an obstacle to the tribe's attack on the alliance, and the alliance defended the tribe's natural line of defense.
How far-sighted is to be able to consider everything before the war and respond in advance.
For a time, Ye Ting became a lot more unpredictable in people's eyes.
Sylvanas’ proposal was undoubtedly approved by most people, but Uther still raised a question that needs to be faced: what about Stromgarde? Is it possible that Trollbane, an ally, should just let it go?
In response, Sylvanas just smiled and looked at Ye Ting again.
"This question, let our war adviser, Archmage Liver, who has just returned from Admiral Dalin's fleet, answer it."
——This guy actually troubled me again.
Ye Tingbai glanced at Sylvanas, then reluctantly said, "In fact, we can use sea transportation."
"Maritime?" Lothar's eyes lit up.
"That's right, we not only have to use marine defense to support Stromgarde, but we also have to do so with great fanfare in front of the tribe." Ye Ting nodded and explained.
"As everyone knows, Admiral Dalin’s fleet almost completely wiped out the tribe’s fleet near Zuldrei Island. Now the Alliance’s maritime forces have no opponents, and Stromgarde is just next to the sea, although there are high cliffs there, but As long as a simple mechanical structure is used to build a pulley transportation device, the cliff is not an obstacle to sea support. Through the sea, we can continuously send materials and soldiers to Stromgarde, or evacuate civilians for them. In this way, Stromgarde will be It became a nail buried in the Arathi Highlands by the Alliance. Not only was the Horde unable to capture this place, but they also had to guard against us from inside and outside. They counterattacked Arathi Highlands through Stromgarde, occupied the Thador Bridge, and cut their back."
