Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 461: Pincer
Chapter 461 - Pincer
Duke used a disguise called makeup, but unfortunately the camouflage technology of that era was too poor, and he ended up going to the meeting with big panda eyes.
A group of kings were all laughing.
The current Dalaran is not the floating city where every inch of land is worth a lot of money in the future. The city of Dalaran, located on the southern shore of Lake Lordamere, still has plenty of space.
However, even though each state guesthouse is a single-family villa, for safety reasons, they are all in the same district. Last night, Duke had a commotion over a Windrunner's second son using thunder arrows. It was impossible not to let others know.
Of course, because no one deliberately inquired and not many people cared about Duke's private affairs, everyone just thought that Duke had capsized.
With Duke's current status, it's not a big deal if he fails. No one is optimistic about Duke's cross-race love. For example, almost everyone knows about Daelin's relationship with the female elf wizard named Gina Golden Sword, so what?
In the eyes of the nobles, lovers are just a matter of taste. Any wife who is not a good match for him is not presentable. Speaking of which, at Duke's age, there are not many women who can match him. The kings looked at Duke with a playful expression, as if they wanted to see which princess or grand duke's daughter Duke would marry in the end.
Naturally, official business takes priority at the Alliance Throne Meeting.
After everyone arrived, an intense discussion began immediately.
Turalyon first introduced the battle situation to everyone: "The transmission of information by the Horde is obviously much slower than that of our Alliance. After losing the assistance of the Red Dragonflight, the Horde lost all means of rapid communication. Until this moment, the 100,000 Horde entrenched on the east side of the Thoradin Wall still showed no signs of retreat. According to our estimation, the wolf cavalry messengers sent from Grim Batol Fortress will not arrive at the front line of the Thoradin Wall until late tonight or even early tomorrow morning at the earliest."
The most nervous King Thoras Trollbane immediately slammed his fist on the map table: "What are we waiting for? We must launch a full-scale attack before these greenskins escape and wipe them out in Arathi Highlands!"
As the newly born king of a fallen country, Thoras was the most nervous. On the contrary, Llane, whose country had been lost for a year, seemed calmer. Of course, the two kings were equally eager to restore their country.
However, Thoras' proposal did not receive much support from kings or representatives.
Everyone can see the decline of the Horde. Reclaiming Arathi Highlands is a foregone conclusion. The question is in what form and at what cost.
In the Alliance, each country has its own political and economic demands, and everyone knows that they must defeat the Horde, otherwise no one will be happy. Unfortunately, after fighting for so long, even a big country like Lordaeron feels the pain, not to mention other weaker countries.
When Thoras was about to turn pale, Anduin said something fair: "Fighting like this will cost too much. Can we consider waiting for the Horde on the front line to receive notification of the collapse in the rear, and then launch a full-scale attack while their morale drops and they retreat? We can chase the Horde and chop them hard, just like chasing rabbits, which will be much easier."
As soon as Anduin finished speaking, he immediately gained the approval of several Alliance kings.
Unfortunately, the Bronzebeard dwarves of Khaz Modan were not happy. After confirming that the Horde had been badly defeated in the wetlands, Muradin Bronzebeard, who had come riding on a griffin, started to yell, "Hey, hey! Are you sure you can annihilate these hundreds of thousands of orcs in Arathi Highlands? Don't let your efforts to chase the orcs back to Khaz Modan make us Bronzebeard dwarves miserable!"
Kurdran Wildhammer naturally chimed in, "Yeah! Arathi Highlands and Wetlands are fine, but once we enter the mountains of Khaz Modan, the power of our Wildhammer's griffins will be greatly reduced."
Anduin secretly glanced at Duke, and when he saw Duke nod imperceptibly, he immediately felt confident: "Then we can make a slight change, using the Dalaran mages' teleportation spell and the griffon riders' transportation to send about 2,000 elite troops to Stromgarde. Then this group of elite troops will quickly march eastward and regain control of the position on the north bank of the Thandol Bridge. Then we can..."
Anduin made a fist-palm strike with a "snap" sound.
Everyone knows that this is a case of catching a turtle in a jar.
King Thoras immediately became alert. Although he knew that this would be an operation with great losses, the benefits of the operation were obvious. That is, the Horde would completely lose its last organized front: "Strongwind Castle can send out 400 knights!"
"Stormwind can provide 300 knights." King Llane followed suit and added chips.
"200 Knights of Alterac." The speaker was General Hass. Even though the Kingdom of Alterac existed in name only, this great soldier had been working hard to wash away the shame on the badge on his chest through fighting.
"200 elite Kul Tiras soldiers who are familiar with the operation of crossbows." Daelin also added calmly. Of course, it can be said that the remaining human crossbows in the northern position can be used, but his positive response still surprised the leaders of various countries. You know, since the war began, except for operations involving the sea, Kul Tiras has always been like I only care about the navy.
The two dwarf bosses looked at each other and said, "The dwarves can provide 300 secret room guards!"
"300 Rangers from Quel'Thalas!"
King Terenas finally couldn't sit still anymore and gritted his teeth: "Five hundred knights of Lordaeron."
This time, it was the ten countries in the alliance, and each country sent troops.
After repeated discussions, the most capable Lothar led the team personally, changing from a simple airborne attack to an air force cooperating with ground commandos to directly attack the Thandol Bridge. Because from Southshore, along the beach on the eastern coast, you can still go directly to Stromgarde.
King Thoras swore that there was a secret passage in Stromgarde that led directly to the Thandol Bridge. So the plan eventually became a commando team of 5,000 people to block the only way for the Horde to escape, and then Mograine led an army of 200,000 humans to attack head-on, encircling the Horde from front and back.
The Alliance army west of the Soladin Wall had been on a war footing, even their rations had been packed up early in the morning, so it didn't take long to prepare. Instead, it was the planning of the assault force that cost the staff of various countries a lot of brain cells.
The leaders of various countries have intentionally or unintentionally ignored Duke because his contributions are too great and too dazzling. Who knows, Duke secretly and fiercely brushed up his presence in private.
When Anduin and Llane privately asked Duke about the plan, Duke said nonchalantly: "You guys go ahead and fight. If you can't win, I'll be the backup."
"What's the guarantee?"
"I'll call the Red Dragonflight to wash the ground with dragon breath!"
"Puff!" Anduin and Llane both burst into laughter.
