"According to the plan proposed by the staff, our reinforcements will set off from the port of Stormwind City, join the Royal Navy and the Kul Tiras fleet that have arrived at Menethil Port, and then land in Southsea Town, sniping and attacking on the tidal flats and coastline. Containing tribal reinforcements"
The welcome banquet after the king's return has ended, and the late night Stormwind City has finally faded away from the hustle and bustle and returned to tranquility. ¡ü
However, the Storm Fortress, which is the palace of the royal family, is still brightly lit.
In the spacious and solemn staff hall, Duke Bolvar Fordragon, who was dressed in military uniform, was pointing at the giant sand table placed on the conference table, and was telling King Varian Wrynn, who was leaning sideways on the throne, about the staff. The battle plan started as early as a month ago.
"Unfortunately, our troops are not sufficient"
" Mayor Solomon of Lakeside Town has sent several urgent letters asking for help in the past few days. The letter said that the Blackstone Orcs are increasing their troops to Redridge Mountain and have built camps and a large number of sentry towers in the northern part of Redridge Mountain. Therefore, we need Deploy some troops to defend Lakeside Town to guard against the sudden attack of the Blackstone Orcs"
"Western Wilderness is not peaceful either. According to reports from MI7 spies lurking within the Defias Brotherhood, Van Cleef, who has collected the ransom, is recruiting troops aggressively, and a batch of weapons of unknown origin has arrived in the Death Mine, Madia Si Shor has sent spies to investigate along the route, and there are currently no useful clues, but we do not rule out the possibility that the tribe provides the source of goods."
"If the intelligence is confirmed to be true, we also need to assign reinforcements to Sentinel Ridge. The Westfall People's Army has insufficient troops and equipment. They alone may not be able to suppress the rebellion of the Defias Brotherhood. If the tribe and Van Cleef If we collude together, the situation will be even worse. The tribe can open a second battlefield in the western wilderness. That will cause us to be attacked from both sides"
One piece of bad news was revealed from the mouth of Duke Bolvar. This made the atmosphere in the staff hall depressive. The group of royal guards not far away were all holding their breaths at this moment. Just like sculptures, they dare not make any sound for fear of causing the displeasure of His Majesty the King and the Duke.
But while Duke Bolvar in the audience was speaking seriously, King Varian Wrynn on the throne seemed bored and distracted.
"Fortunately, Prince Garin Trollbane of Stromgarde has promised that if the Federation of Azeroth is re-established as promised, the Highland Knights will soon join forces with the Wildhammer dwarves of the Eagle's Nest to form the Arathor Front. , crossed Thoradin's Wall and pounced directly towards Tarren Mill, the current forward stronghold of the Forsaken in the Hillsbrad Hills"
"If this operation is successful, it will greatly ease the pressure on Nanhai Town. To be honest, according to the news from MI7, the situation there is probably very bad. However, Stromgarde hopes that we can support a batch of food and some ordnance. .According to Prince Garin¡¯s explanation, the campaign to eliminate the trolls and ogres in the Arathi Highlands in the first half of the year consumed a lot of supplies. Now that the Harvest Festival has not yet come, they may not be able to support it with their own current inventory and reserves. Troops set off"
"The envoy to Dalaran has reported good news through magical communication. The six-member Kirin Tor Council has reached a final decision after discussion. After expelling the blood elf mages in the city, Dalaran will give up the game. The outer neutrality officially intervened in this war and joined the Alliance to declare war on the Horde! With the help of Dalaran mages, we have arcane support enough to resist the blood elves of Quel'Thalas. Two mages groups, A team of battle mages. This is already nearly half of Dalaran's armed forces, and it can be considered a large-scale support. With this force to hold the battle, the threat from the Horde's spellcasters may be greatly reduced"
Varian, who was drunk and half-lying on the throne, had a splitting headache but didn't want to be rude and walk away in front of Bolvar. He could only pretend to be listening while pouring peace of mind into his stomach. Hangover soup made from flowers.
It¡¯s just a pity that the Duke of Bolvar¡¯s carefully prepared memorials were directly filtered by the drunken Majesty the King and left behind.
"As for the Scarlet Crusade, General Abidis will personally command four divisions to attack the Undercity, hold back possible follow-up troops of the Forgotten for us, and force Sylvanas to make a decision to alleviate the situation. The pressure on our front line. The High Lord Mograine will lead a small number of elite troops to support the front line battlefield. However, the Scarlet Crusade also requires that if the war goes well, the winning alliance forces must take advantage of the situation to send troops to help them regain the capital of Lordaeron. ¡¡±
"King Genn Greymane of the Kingdom of Gilneas will attend the summit tomorrow. If we can persuade the Kingdom of Gilneas to send troops to join the war, we can have one more place between northern Lordaeron and Hillsbrad Foothills. A strong support point. Only a small but sufficiently elite team will be needed.With mobile troops, we can use the two fulcrums of Burning Wood Village and Amber Mill to harass and attack the Forgotten's supply lines as much as possible, increasing the tribe's material and transportation consumption
"Also, Countess Katlana has contacted the bandit organization Syndicate. Although they have a bad reputation, they are the remnants of the former Kingdom of Alterac after all"
"Bovar,"
Finally, a feeble call interrupted His Excellency the Archon¡¯s serious report.
¡°Can¡¯t we discuss these things in a few days?¡±
Rubbing his temples that were sore due to drunkenness, Varian, whose mind was not on the report at all, finally straightened up from the throne and frowned at his long-time friend who broke into the banquet and dragged him here from the banquet hall. complained:
"I need a rest after a long journey, old friend!"
"Your rest means getting drunk alone amidst the flattery of a group of nobles and the teasing and encouragement of women?" Bolvar, who was interrupted, also frowned and asked dissatisfiedly: "What if it is such a ridiculous way? ¡With all due respect, Your Majesty! I don¡¯t think you need it!¡±
"Ha, but I feel very happyOkay, okay!" Varian wanted to retort a few words, but saw Duke Bolvar's face cold and uncompromising. He had no choice but to raise his hands and surrender helplessly. "You are always so boring, Bolvar. But the party is over when it is over. We can hold it again if we have the opportunity. But shouldn't we go to bed?"
"Look," Varian pointed at the grandfather clock in the corner, and said in a brisk tone: "It's already late at night! I have promised Anduin to take him hunting tomorrow. If he doesn't sleep, I will make plans for tomorrow. It might be ruined."
"You know, Bolvar, I don't want to be a father who breaks his word."
"But you are being a foolish king!"
A sudden roar exploded in the hall. The Archon suddenly burst into unusual anger and waved the others in the hall to leave. The attendants and guards looked at each other and hesitated for a long time, and finally exited the room. He gently closed the door for His Majesty the King and the Duke.
"What the hell are you doing? Varian!"
"Your son is worried about your status and has important government affairs to report to you, but you turn a blind eye!"
"Your people are boiling with resentment because of the ridiculous decree of the House of Lords, but you turn a deaf ear to it!"
Seeing that Varian and himself were the only ones left in the hall, Bolvar no longer suppressed his emotions, but acted as he did when the two of them got along in private - as close friends for more than 20 years, rather than as a superior and inferior king. With ministers - bluntly and angrily denounce each other's mistakes:
"Now we are at war with the tribe, and your people and soldiers are bleeding and dying every minute and every second! But you are only thinking about bullshit hunting and outings!"
"Damn it, Varian! What has happened to you?"
"You talk to your king with this attitude?" After a long period of silence, Varian Wrynn's tone was as cold as ice: "Did I indulge you too much in the past, Duke Bolvar Fordragon. My lord the Archon."
The two friends seemed to have turned against each other in an instant, and the temperature in the hall seemed to have plummeted. There was a depressing and tense atmosphere.
Varian¡¯s sudden, distant and sarcastic address stunned Bolvar. Opening his mouth in disbelief, the Archon of Stormwind City couldn't say a word for a while. He really didn't understand how the monarch he loyally assisted, his childhood playmate, and his friend for decades could become like this!
"Varian, you"
"I'm tired, Duke Fordragon. I don't want to hear those trivial matters anymore, and I forgive you for questioning and disrespecting me before." He waved his hand to interrupt the consul's words. King Varian looked undisguisedly impatient. "I will organize a hunt tomorrow, I hope you can participate on time."
"Now, please retreat quietly!"
Varian¡¯s cold and arrogant attitude made Bolvar laugh in anger. He gave a stiff salute to King Varian who was sitting on the throne, then turned and walked towards the closed door of the hall. It wasn't until his trembling palms pressed against the handle of the door that the Archon stopped and turned to Varian, who had a frosty look on his face, and said:
"Forgive me to remind you again Your Majesty!"
"Tomorrow is the day when the heads of the seven nations will gather to discuss the reconstruction of the Azeroth Federation and the specific deployment of troops. The leaders and representatives of each country have already confirmed that they will attend."
"If you insist on going hunting, according to the regulations, Prince Anduin and the Council of Nobles willThe Speaker, Countess Catalana, and myself as the Consul will attend on your behalf"
"As long asyou are not afraid that the Kingdom of Stormwind will become the laughingstock of the Alliance!"
After a muffled sound of "bang", the only sound left in the empty and depressing hall was the venting sound of Duke Bolvar slamming the door.
No matter whether it was Duke Bolvar who left angrily or King Varian who was leaning on the throne with a gloomy expression, neither of them noticed that a vague witchcraft light flashed away on the majestic Iron Throne (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
