Chapter 662 Alex: Coming up, blood pressure is coming up
"Knew it……"
Standing on the top of one of the hills in the Hillsbrad region, looking at the Gilnean army waiting on the plains in the distance, Mograine had an expected wry smile on his face.
Dalaran has always been diplomatic, and they will not reveal their position easily unless they are fully confident.
There are only three countries that can travel through Lake Lordamre at will. Since Gilneas has placed bets on the front of Hillsbrad, it is obvious where the people who created the thick fog in the lake area come from.
Already.
Mograine's adjutant Fairbanks frowned and asked: "Alexander,
The enemy has made preparations in advance, do we still want to fight this battle?"
"Fight! Of course we have to fight!"
Mograine replied without hesitation: "Before we set off on the expedition, His Majesty Terenas had anticipated that this might happen."
"Lordaeron is the most powerful human country, and this glorious title must not be tarnished in our hands."
"Even if this war fails to achieve the expected strategic goals, we cannot show weakness to other countries. We must show that Lordaeron is still strong.
Otherwise...sooner or later the wall will fall and everyone will push it away."
"Besides..."
Moglanifan was on horseback, and his usually calm face showed a rare look of expectation.
“It’s still unclear who will win the final victory.
How can there be any reason to be timid before fighting?"
"Fairbanks, inform the entire army to be ready for war at any time."
"yes!"
…
When Mograine led the army into the hilly area, the Gilnean coalition forces, which were far away from the Lordaeron army, also noticed their movements.
"Alexandros Mograine."
Godfrey, who was dressed in military uniform, took off his glasses from the bridge of his nose and carefully wiped them with a handkerchief for a while before putting them back in front of his eyes.
Lord Godfrey is highly myopic. Without the aid of glasses, his vision is blurry and he cannot see clearly.
Wherever there are people, there will be fights, and Gilneas is no exception.
When King Zeon insisted on building the Greymane Wall, it aroused strong opposition from many powerful nobles whose territories were in Silverpine Forest.
Darius Crowley is the representative figure of the nobility of Silverpine Forest.
Once the Greymane Wall is officially built, King Zeon will completely close the country, give up the territory outside the Greymane Wall, and implement the isolationism that the Greymane family has inherited from generation to generation.
Because of this incident, the northern nobles headed by Lord Crowley were very unhappy with the royal family, and even reached the point of becoming tense, and a civil war was about to break out.
If there are opponents, there will naturally be supporters.
The eastern nobles of Gilneas, represented by Lord Godfrey, have always stood firmly on the side of the Greymane royal family.
Advocates sealing the country’s borders,
It has no official diplomatic relations with any outside country.
Although under the order of King Jean, Lord Godfrey and Lord Crowley joined forces.
However, the two men have completely opposite political views and have no intention of sitting together to discuss military affairs. After joining the army, they will still manage their own affairs.
In large-scale corps-level operations, inconsistent opinions among joint forces are undoubtedly a major hidden danger.
Godfrey and Crowley are both veteran generals who have experienced battles for a long time, so they naturally know this very well.
But knowing the hidden dangers doesn't mean they will compromise with each other.
During the past few days of joining forces, Godfrey and Crowley worked hard to restrain their soldiers and strictly prohibited any form of conflict with friendly forces.
Even so, small-scale frictions still occur from time to time due to the different positions represented by the two sides.
King Zeon, who was far away in the Royal City of Gilneas, was very worried about this. After learning about this, Prince Liam volunteered and personally led the royal guards to the front line to supervise the troops.
Named the Overwatch Army, Liam actually acts as the lubricant between Godfrey and Crowley, working hard to bring the two together before the war begins.
Young Prince Liam is not as stubborn as his old father. From the beginning, he did not agree with spending huge amounts of resources to build the Greymane Wall, nor did he agree with King Zeon's policy of seclusion.
However, even Prince Liam could not convince his stubborn father.
We can only do our best to deal with the series of subsequent troubles caused by this crude policy.
Judging from the results, Liam did a good job.
Godfrey and Crowley are not people who ignore national affairs for the sake of personal grudges. With both sides willing to make concessions, Liam successfully persuaded the two major noble factions of Gilneas to temporarily put aside their grudges and surrender their guns.
Keep your mouth open to the outside world.
…
Lordaeron and Gilneas have successively prepared for a battle on the western plains of Hillsbrad.
At the same time, Sharlayan and Valeela were preparing to rush to the eastern entrance to the Alterac Snow Mountains - the front line of Icewind Hills.
After Etherton's extremely simple enthronement ceremony, Alex, who had been busy, finally learned from Valeela about the "good deeds" done by his two sons. He was so angry that his blood pressure soared and his face turned red.
bright red.
General Haas, who had been taking refuge with the Barov family in recent years, was reinstated by Officer Etherton, and he was given full authority to take over the frontline battle at Icewind Ridge.
That's what he said, but the people currently stationed at Icewind Point are members of the Syndicate, and General Haas can't guarantee that he can persuade them to abandon the dark side and join the bright side.
In this chaotic situation, the help of the local gangsters, the Barov family, is indispensable.
Alex was also aware of this, and volunteered to return to Keldaron and mobilize the elite private soldiers hired by the Barov family to rush to the front line.
On the one hand, it helps frontline soldiers strengthen their defense lines, and on the other hand, it can also deter those Syndicate remnants whose positions are unclear.
Before leaving Stannblad, Alex finally learned about the "god-level" operations of Wilton and Alex, and was lucky enough not to faint on the spot.
The unlucky Wilton was unfortunately involved in the chaos and died on the battlefield of Keldaron Island together with Duke Faculest's stand-in.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Alex is still being entertained by Mayor Matthew of Andorhal Town with delicious food and drinks. After Wilton's death, it stands to reason that
It seems that no one should compete with him for the inheritance rights of the Barov family.
However, Alex, who was so proud at this time, did not know that because of his stupid behavior of proactively reporting his family's intention to rebel to Lordaeron, he had already been marked with a big X in his father's heart.
The Royal City of Alterac is still occupied by the Frostmaul Ogres, and the newly born Kingdom of Alterac will not be able to spare the troops to take back the Royal City for a while.
Etherton will remain in power in Stannbraid for the time being, and will consider moving the capital after repelling Lordaeron's two armies.
Duke Falkrest was thrown into prison, and Duke Jorach Ravenholdt was temporarily promoted to the chief minister of the Kingdom of Alterac with his merits from the dragon.
In an emergency, Etherton temporarily selected some nobles with experience in governing to serve as his team. After the crisis subsided, he would re-adjust the appointment of officials, so that the capable ones would be promoted and the mediocre ones would be demoted.
Alex's requests on behalf of the Barov family have received Etherton's personal promise that they will be fulfilled one by one after the situation stabilizes.
This was originally something to be happy about, but because of these two weirdos, Wilton and Alex, Alex couldn't laugh at all.
The battle situation on the front line was urgent. Tinagosa took Alex, Sharlayan and Valeela to set off first. The Ravenholdt thieves sent by Jorraqi, commanded by Haas, followed closely and rushed to Icewind Point at full speed.
reinforce.
As they passed over Icewind Ridge, the four of Sarlayan witnessed the battle on the front line with their own eyes.
The Knights are not suitable for siege because they cannot charge up the city wall on horseback.
The Ice Wind Post of this era is not as dilapidated as the barrage said. The post's defense facilities are very complete. The post surrounded by tall wooden walls is like a small fortress.
With Andorhal's support behind them, the Knights of the Silver Hand attacked forcefully without any hesitation.
Under Uther's order, the knights maintained a relatively fixed attack rhythm during the day, and at night they would beat gongs and drums in a bluffing manner, making the defenders sleepless.
In barrage parlance, this is called a strategy to exhaust troops.
"It's not good..."
As he passed through Icewind Hills and continued towards Caer Daron, Sharlayan noticed the exhausted posture and low morale of the defenders.
After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Sarlayan suddenly said to Alex: "Alex, you and Tina rush back to Keldaron as soon as possible to gather reinforcements. Valeela and I will stay here to stabilize the situation... I hope
