Age of Empires From Scratch Chapter 132

  Chapter 132 Target Alsace

  David and Jaina chatted a few words casually. Regarding the problems hidden in the chat, David would choose to fool them casually.

  I am not familiar with Jaina, so it is enough to maintain the superficial etiquette.

So the two chatted for a while, and Fording had already set up a general counterattack process with several commanders. Jaina only knew that Baron David Glamorgan was from a city called Winter Town, and The people around them are called Laura Crawford, Steve Rogers and Sharon Rogers.

   Apart from this, I didn't get any information, which made Jaina a huge suspicion in her heart.

At this time, Fording called everyone present to the side of the conference table. There was a complete map of the East Weald area on it, and various exquisite soldier cards were placed on it, so that people could see the current enemy and us at a glance. situation.

   "We decided to launch an attack on the undead outside Hearthglen three days later, and clean up the entire northern part of this area." As Fording's fingers swiped across an area, everyone understood the goal of this counterattack.

   "Clean up the entire area north of Andorhal?" Bridget Abedis glanced at Andorhal: "Leave Andorhal alone?"

"Our goal is to concentrate all our forces and give priority to destroying Alsace." As the lord of Hearthglen and the commander-in-chief of all Lordaeron's remaining troops, Fording began to explain the core idea of ​​this battle to everyone : "Only by destroying Alsace can the undead be completely eradicated, otherwise they will only be endlessly entangled with these undead."

  Hearing this sentence, everyone understood what Tirion Fordring meant.

   Unless Alsace is eliminated, it is meaningless to kill more undead. If Alsace is not dead, the undead natural disaster will not disappear. Alsace can continuously create more undead creatures.

   Even, he didn't need to do this kind of thing on purpose. The most terrifying thing about the undead natural disaster is that it pollutes the entire area.

Wherever the Scourge has passed, there is no need to deliberately destroy the surrounding environment to make it unsuitable for living people to survive. These pollutions will profoundly affect all creatures living on this land. If they are killed If the power is eroded, the originally healthy people may also become undead.

  The crops produced on the polluted land will also be infected after being eaten by healthy people, transforming into more undead.

This terrible pollution ability is an important reason why Fording proposed this plan: continue to delay, even if they can defeat the Scourge, the entire East Weld will be completely destroyed. Although the survivors escaped the undead natural disaster , but still lost their homeland.

"Get rid of the Scourge while the pollution is not too violent." Fording knows that there are many sources of natural disasters and plagues, but Alsace is the most dangerous one among them. If he is not eliminated, they will have no way to turn their swords. , to deal with other sources of pollution.

   "So... the most important thing now is to find out where Alsace is?" David watched and listened in the whole process, until then he said a word: "Have you found out where Alsace is now?"

  Many commanders were silent. At first, everyone just concentrated on defending Hearthglen. The Griffin Rider and the helicopter were mainly responsible for positioning and observing the artillery group, and did not fly too far.

   "After launching the counterattack, we will start to investigate the surroundings." Fording said the follow-up plan: "If Alsace had been guarding somewhere and waiting for us to come out, then there would be no need to waste this effort."

  David and Fording looked at each other, and the two immediately had a tacit understanding.

   Fording still believes that Alsace is going to attack Quel'Thalas, so he designed this counterattack plan very boldly, without considering the movement of the heavy artillery group at all.

   That is to say, for the upcoming counterattack, the main force is the paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand. After clearing the safe environment, they will move the heavy artillery group to this newly occupied area to help defend.

  He believed that Alsace had no ambush, and facing the common undead natural disasters, the paladins of the Silver Hand were strong enough to deal with it.

   "There are enough griffins in Hearthglen?"

"Yes."

   There are Griffin Riders in Hearthglen, but there are not many of them, so they don't dare to fly far away, worrying that they won't be able to come back after going out. After all, the Scourge has a large number of flying units.

   "I can help with this." David felt that it would not be difficult for him to ride a griffin to the east to find out the location of Alsace.

   Determining the location of Alsace early is also convenient for Fording to make arrangements for follow-up actions in advance.

   You can also unite with the high elves of Quel'Thalas to flank Alsace and the Scourge led by him.

   "Contact Quel'Thalas, I can help." Jaina, who also didn't participate in the battle meeting, suddenly spoke: "I believe that the elves of Quel'Thalas will not refuse this suggestion."

The Scourge is threatening the living in the entire world, and the elves of Quel'Thalas are also living. Their life form determines that they cannot refuse to join forces with the Kingdom of Lordaeron. No matter what conflicts broke out between the two sides before, You can put it aside at this time.

  In addition to the relationship between Dalaran and the elves of Quel'Thalas, it is indeed a good choice for Jaina to be the middleman.

   "That's it!"

   Fording gave a series of orders neatly, including the Knights of the Silver Hand preparing for the next attack, and the Dwarf Heavy Artillery and Musketeers temporarily on standby, waiting for the follow-up transfer.

Immediately, he will form an alliance with Quel'Thalas as Lord of Hearthglen, interim commander-in-chief of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and interim commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of Lordaeron—this alliance letter needs to be signed by Calia Menethil The surviving royal approved, along with an additional letter.

   These things will take some time to prepare, and by the way, arrange suitable griffins for David and Jaina.

   "Arrange one for me too." Steve decided to go on this investigation with David: "This kind of work is what I do best."

   Fording nodded, he has confidence in David's strength, and when David encounters a danger that he cannot handle, he can immediately return to Cold Winter Town.

  So when David said that he would ride a griffin to scout the location of Alsace, Fording was not worried about the safety of his partner at all.

  Steve is in the same situation, except Gianna…

   "You can use the teleportation spell to go to Quel'Thalas?"

   "If Quel'Thalas was really attacked by Arthas, then it should be impossible to use teleportation magic to enter Silvermoon City at this time."

Quel'Thalas has a very powerful defensive magic. When it is attacked, the defensive magic effect is maximized. Even their prince Kael'thas has no way to use the teleportation spell to return to Silver Moon. City, let alone Jaina, an outsider.

   "Is that so..."

   After Fording gave the order, and told David and Jaina some more things, he handed David and Jaina to Burim-Golden Hammer.

  The few Griffin Riders in Hearthglen are all dwarves, and they obey this dwarf commander.

After receiving Fording's order, Burim took David and others out of the Hearthglen Fortress and came outside—this was the first time that David and the others really saw the appearance of Hearthglen, and everyone was curious. Look around.

  However, the purpose of entering is not some pastoral farm, but rows of artillery positions, and dwarf musketeers patrolling around with Garland rifles on their backs.

   Burim noticed that David and the others were looking at the dwarves, and immediately introduced the latest achievements of the dwarves to several people: the Garand rifle made by Ironforge and improved by the dwarves.

   "These rifles are great, and almost every dwarf wants a Garand now, but the rifles that are currently being made are sent to Hearthglen."

  Then the topic turned to artillery, from the 105mm howitzer with the largest number at present to the ten 155mm heavy artillery that are currently used as big killers.

  Finally, Burim also proudly stated that Ironforge is building a super killer named Lordaeron cannon with a caliber of more than 200mm based on the previous accumulated experience.

David felt that the dwarves of Ironforge had taken a strange route. He didn't know how to evaluate this change, so he could only smile to express his amazement, but Steve beside him complained: "Your smile is too Perfunctory..."

  Until everyone arrived at the Griffin Knight's camp and met the Griffin Knight's commander, Grace Thurden, Burim finally stopped introducing muskets and artillery.

   "This is Grace Thurden, the commander of the Griffin Riders. Under his guidance, you can pick an obedient Griffin to complete your mission."

After thanking Burim Golden Hammer and explaining his intentions to Grace Thurden, the Griffin Rider immediately said that it would not be difficult, but in order to ensure no accidents, he would personally ride the Griffon and A few people go together to ensure that these 'rookies' can find the target smoothly.

   "You just need to ride on the griffin and be careful not to fall off. I will give all the work of directing the griffin to fly."

In this way, there is no need to temporarily teach David, Steve, and Jaina how to control the flight of the griffin. After Fording and Princess Calia have finished writing the letter, the three can immediately set off to find the traces of Alsace and go to Que. Salas.

Under the guidance of Grice Thurden, several griffins flew very smoothly, and soon they found Arthas Minai who was commanding the Scourge to attack the kingdom of high elves on the outskirts of Quel'Thalas. Hill.

  At this time, the former Lordaeron prince was launching a fierce attack on an elf ranger general.
