The Trollbane family is famous throughout the world for their superb swordsmanship. Although Thoras Trollbane has reached middle age and is not as powerful as in his prime, his rich combat experience is enough to heal his declining physical strength.
.
At least looking at King Trollbane's performance, Li Deshang did not dare to say that he could defeat the opponent completely.
In comparison, Dathrohan has a completely different fighting style.
In his prime, he could knock away at least three bandits every time he swung his warhammer. With the blessing of the Holy Light, he was like a giant humanoid beast.
The thirteen paladins in the team are also extremely brave, and the most valuable thing about the paladins is not only reflected in the battle, they use the holy light to protect everyone in the team.
This was something Li De had never felt before. The holy light formed a strong shield around his body, allowing him to fight without any distractions.
It can be said that after this battle, Li De gained a deeper understanding that the Paladin is indeed a good comrade worthy of entrustment.
Under their concerted efforts, the bandits who were ten times their number were completely defeated in just over an hour, with only a few dozen people left running around and disappearing into the night.
"Tell me! Who sent you here!"
Trollbane picked up a bandit leader and beat him to the ground like a little rabbit, and asked fiercely.
Being ambushed this time really made the king very angry. In the territory of the Human Alliance, there were still people who dared to intercept and kill him.
The captured leader remained silent, and he did not expect that even a carefully planned attack would be counter-attacked by less than one-tenth of the target.
"I'm just a peripheral leader. I don't know anything about the internal affairs. Please spare me."
The little leader of the Syndicate begged pitifully for mercy. Even though Li De and the others interrogated him very harshly, he only gave out a few names that no one had heard of before.
"Why are you attacking our team?"
When asked this question, the little boss was able to answer it.
"I heard from my superiors that you were sent by Lordaeron to annex Alterac. As long as you are not allowed to enter Alterac, Lordaeron's conspiracy can be foiled."
Hearing what the little boss said, everyone looked at each other in shock.
How to arrange Alterac is still a secret known only to some people in the Alliance, and these bandits of the Syndicate can also learn about it.
And the Syndicate was able to learn of the matter so quickly, and made arrangements in advance to intercept the commission. It seems that this "Syndicate" is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
"In addition to the down-and-out nobles of Alterac, there are also their people within the alliance."
Li De said with a serious expression, and Trollbane's face was even more ugly, because he thought of Falkrest. That guy spent a lot of money to find his asylum, and now he lives in Stromgarde.
.
In fact, Trollbane had already heard about the little tricks Falkrest had secretly carried out, and that guy was probably involved behind this attack.
Thinking of this, Trollbane made up his mind to investigate Falkurest closely after returning to Stromgarde. Now that he has decided to go with the Alliance, some people and things must not be tolerated.
"Everyone, since the other party dares to take such a desperate risk, they will definitely not give up easily. If they can launch an attack, they can organize a second attack.
I suggest we speed up our march and arrive at Alterac early to join Marshal Lothar. The other party will definitely not expect that we will speed up our march after suffering an attack."
After Li De said this, he looked at the herald of Lordaeron. This important official had no fighting ability, and after experiencing an attack, he had to consider whether he had the courage to continue.
However, Li De did not expect that this herald was quite courageous, and it was also the performance of everyone in the battle that made him brave.
"I agree with you. We really need to get to Alterac as soon as possible. The sooner the alliance's appointment comes, the sooner Marshal Lothar can legitimately govern there."
Li De glanced at him appreciatively.
"Don't worry, we will do our best to protect your safety."
After that, everyone stopped talking and hurried on their way in the night.
There are three heroes and a dozen elite combatants in a team. Even if such a team encounters an ogre, they are definitely capable of protecting themselves.
Moreover, Li De also believes that Lothar is an outstanding military strategist. He will never be satisfied with just shrinking in Alterac City. He will definitely find a way to open up the road to the north. As long as they get closer to Alterac,
Personal safety will also be more secure.
Li De's guess was correct. As soon as his team entered the vicinity of the Massacre Valley, they heard a burst of intensive horse hooves. Everyone put on a defensive posture, but this was only to prevent accidents.
It soon proved that their worries were unnecessary, as they were greeted by a human cavalry team.
"stop!"
Two hundred meters away from Li De and the others, the pair of cavalrymen stopped. The leading knight threw the torch diagonally upward in front of him, and with the help of the faint light, he could barely see clearly the identities of Li De and the others.
After discovering that the other party was a human race, the knight spoke loudly.
"I am Ashkandi, the cavalry captain affiliated with the Iron Horse Brotherhood. Please tell me who you are and whether you need help."
Li De was very happy to meet one of his own and answered loudly.
"I am Lid Wickery, and I am accompanied by His Majesty Trollbane of Stromgarde. With me is the herald of Lordaeron, who brought the Marshal's new commission and Terena
The team of Paladins mobilized by His Majesty."
After speaking, Li De signaled Dathrohan's team of paladins to identify themselves. Then, under the leadership of Dathrohan, a total of fourteen paladins chanted at the same time, and then the dazzling holy light descended on them.
Under the night, it was like fourteen lights were lit, Ashkandi waved his hand and said.
"I understand, please stop. There are a lot of ogres moving around here, and if you continue like this, you will attract their attention."
The two teams met together, and each other breathed a sigh of relief. On the way back to Alterac, Ashkandi was still talking to Li De enthusiastically.
"Grand Duke, we actually received a message from the Griffin Knight yesterday. The marshal is very happy to hear that you are coming over. He has said it more than a dozen times today."
Li De and Ashkandi have met several times. He is responsible for commanding cavalry and warriors in the Iron Horse Brotherhood. He has convincing abilities. He was a mature elite warrior a long time ago, but he is only familiar with the way of fighting.
There is a lack of understanding, and he has never become a heroic warrior.
"Everyone will continue to fight in Alterac for a long time in the future. How do you feel after arriving here?"
Many soldiers from the Kingdom of Storm followed Lothar and came to Alterac. Although everyone absolutely believed in the marshal's order, only he knew the true thoughts in his heart. Li De still wanted to hear the true feelings of the middle- and lower-level officers.
.
"How should I put it? My first impression when I came here was that it was shabby. The level of shabbyness here is not much better than that of Stormwind City. Although this is all because the Alterac people are to blame, but now that this has become the country of the marshal,
We have to rebuild this place.
Then the second feeling is the cold. The climate here is completely different from Elwynn Forest, and the air is still very thin. After arriving here, many soldiers got sick because they were not used to it. Some soldiers even made a noise and asked me to go home.
I scolded him a lot."
These reactions were very real, and Li De kept them in mind.
After entering Alterac City, to everyone's surprise, Lothar had not rested at such a late hour. Since the army was stationed here, Lothar quickly stepped into the role to guard such a huge mess.
He has too many things to deal with.
When she heard that Li De and the others had arrived, Lothar immediately put down what she was doing. As soon as she saw Li De, Lothar started to complain with a smile.
"You really found a hard job for me. This country is rotten from the foundation. It will be too difficult to rebuild."
"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone here. We'll talk about other things later. Don't neglect the guests yet."
The guest was naturally referring to Trollbane. Lothar hurriedly went over to exchange a few words with each other and arranged accommodation for everyone. There was no conversation all night, and he waited until daybreak to talk about anything.
Early the next morning, more than ten thousand people gathered in the square in the center of the city to watch Lordaeron's new appointment.
Standing in the makeshift stand was the herald of Lordaeron. Next to him were Lothar, Lid, Ravenholdt, Dathrohan and others, as well as Trollbane who was watching the ceremony together.
"Four years since the Dark Portal, the alliance countries have cooperated to fight against the Horde. Alterac has betrayed its faith and surrendered to the orcs, and now it has deprived the royal family of Perenolde of its right to govern Alterac.
Alliance Commander-in-Chief Lothar is hereby appointed to manage Alterac and handle important military and political affairs. He will rectify the security of Alterac and restore the people's livelihood in Alterac.
Seven-Nation Alliance Meeting, Dark Portal Six Years, Jointly Issued in November!”
The herald read the letter of appointment loudly, and thunderous applause erupted in the square. Perenold had caused so much harm to Alterac, and at least it was already unpopular among the civilians.
Moreover, after Lothar came to Alterac, the first thing he did was to lead troops to clean up the security in the city. This move was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Before, the people of Alterac were afraid of Lothar and they left here soon.
Now that I heard that Lothar will stay here to manage Alterac, how can I not be happy?
But people didn't expect that after reading the letter of appointment, the herald would have something to say.
"Bandits! Tribes! We must suppress them at any time! If we don't suppress them, it won't work! Think about it, you are on your way with official duties, eating dry food and chatting, and suddenly you are robbed by bandits!"
So a day without tribes and bandits is a good day!"
If the reading of the letter of appointment was just a routine matter before, then these few words now can be said to be true feelings. The herald, who has no fighting ability, now thinks of the scene where the bandits suddenly shouted a slogan and swooped down from the mountain.
, I still have lingering fears.
Then the herald gave up his seat and asked Lothar to say a few words. However, unexpectedly Lothar, who was standing in front of the stage, only said a brief sentence.
"Anduin Lothar, officially takes office from today!"
