Originally, it was still bright sunshine in the Redridge Mountains, but after the team entered the Dusk Forest, they could feel the obvious changes in the surrounding environment.
The sky has become gray, but the bright sunlight outside cannot penetrate into this big forest. Even the trees here look weird, and the canopy composed of unruly branches looks like twisted ghost claws.
"Is the environment here affected by the guardian's magic?"
During the march, Kel'Thuzad said meaningfully that even the aftermath of magic before death could completely transform the environment of an entire forest. This made Kel'Thuzad, a mage, deeply feel the difference between him and Maddie.
The difference in literature.
Going south for more than 200 kilometers from the triangle intersection, the team finally encountered a fork in the twilight forest. On this fork there was a large-scale town. It was once called Sunshine Town and could accommodate more than 10,000 people.
population.
But now this place has been renamed Night Town, and most of the houses are empty. These vacant houses can be used as military camps.
"How prosperous the Sunshine Forest once was."
To this day, Li De can't help but lament the decline of this place. Sunshine Forest once produced the highest quality fruits in the Kingdom of Stormwind. These fruits were brewed into various fruit wines and sold to northern countries, becoming highly sought after banquet items for nobles and gentry.
Because of the development here, the Kingdom of Stormwind has invested a lot of construction in Sunshine Forest. Except for the road from Stormwind City to Goldsmith Town, the main road in Sunshine Forest is the widest and smoothest.
It is precisely because this place still retains good infrastructure that Li De set it up as a headquarters for fighting against the orcs.
The person in charge of Night Town is named Marquis Ello Eberlock. Speaking of which, a marquis is also a very noble nobleman, but Li De dares to say that Marquis Eberlock is one of the shabbiest and most atypical nobles in the Kingdom of Stormwind.
.
He has the title of a marquis, but now he does not have much property in his name. Due to the drastic changes in the environment, all his shares in many orchards have been wiped out.
What's interesting is that after the bankruptcy, Aberlock's state of mind changed a lot. Perhaps it was the change in the attitude of people around him towards him during the initial period of bankruptcy that made him have some thoughts.
Now Aberlock is no longer like a noble. He realizes that there is no difference between nobles and commoners, and they are not born noble. He used his remaining property to form a local security team of 200 people to guard this place.
The declining town, even when Stormwind City retreated, he did not leave.
This could be regarded as his luck. Perhaps the dark, cold and magical environment of Dusk Forest made the orcs feel uncomfortable. So after capturing Stormwind City, Orgrim only sought to go north and had no intention of occupying this place.
Meaning, it allowed Eberlock and thousands of people in the Dusk Forest to survive.
After understanding Aberlock's past, even Li De, who disdained the nobility the most, expressed respect for him. The aristocratic politics of the human kingdom has developed for thousands of years, and a huge aristocratic group has been formed. This group is so huge that it itself
Differentiation has also occurred, which cannot be generalized.
Just like Elroy Aberlock, he is obviously a unifying force.
"We want to build a fortification on the east road, and I hope you can mobilize people to help us."
"I will organize people from Night Town to assist the army, but I think I still need to remind you, distinguished commander-in-chief, that the Niwind Valley to the east of the road is the source of the unknown. If you use it as a battlefield, it may cause disaster.
occur."
The pain Medivh brought to Dusk Forest was so great that Aberlock didn't even want to mention words like Medivh and Karazhan.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty the Marquis, we are going to rely on the power of Karazhan this time, and we are already in disaster, aren't we?"
Aberlock pursed his lips and said nothing more. The environment in the Twilight Forest made them accustomed to being reticent.
The plan to include Counterwind Valley and Karazhan within the battlefield was jointly formulated by Li De, Kel'Thuzad and Ansrem. This can be regarded as using the power of the guardian to protect the world in a sense.
"Division Commander, we can indeed lead the orc troops in our direction through a series of strategic guidance, but how can we ensure that the orcs will not take the road east of Redridge Mountain again?"
Galin raised such a question at the combat meeting, to which Li De gave a clear answer.
"Destroyed."
It is several hundred kilometers from here to the junction of the easternmost part of the Swamp of Sorrows and the Redridge Mountains. Garin was curious about how Li De could destroy the road there just sitting here, but at this moment many people outside the headquarters were shocked.
Called out.
"Dragon! Dragon!"
Li De smiled confidently.
"Our friendly forces are coming."
The officers all walked out of the headquarters and looked up at the sky. Four red dragons were hovering over Night Town. Then they all swooped down and turned into four young men and women when they landed.
"Li De, are we not late?"
"It's just the right time. Long time no see, Buck. This time we have to fight side by side again."
Lid stepped forward and shook hands with Buckromworth and said that they had indeed not seen each other for a long time since the last time they saw each other in Grim Batol.
Buck Romworth also spoke with emotion about his experience some time ago.
"In the Battle of the Cursed Land, we followed the queen to pursue the black dragon to the Endless Sea, but in the end they escaped.
Now we understand that this is clearly a diversionary trick by the black dragon. The purpose is to move us away and let the orcs carry out their conspiracy!
If we were still in the cursed land at that time, we would definitely be able to detect the movements of the orcs and we would not let their tricks succeed!"
But when he said this, Buck himself felt a little discouraged.
"Unfortunately, it is meaningless to say this now. His Majesty Crassus was injured in the battle. He entrusted me to apologize to you."
"I accept the apology from the Red Dragon Legion, but the crux of the problem is that there are big problems with the internal command of the coalition. I'm afraid you guys in my army will not be able to fight in the 'dragon's own way'."
Buck Romworth has no doubts.
"I understand that when the four of us come under your command this time, we will resolutely obey your command. Please give the order now."
Li De beamed with joy, looked at the faces of the four giant dragons, and immediately decided to organize them into a flying squadron directly under the division headquarters, with Buck Romworth as their squadron leader.
After understanding Reed's troop organization, Buck expressed his doubts while accepting the adaptation:
If they only consider their flight capabilities, their functions are very close to Kurdran's Griffin troops. They fully accept that they can be incorporated into Kurdran's flying special operations battalion. Why do they only have four of them and occupy a squadron?
?
Li De gave the answer.
"The destructive power of the dragon is unmatched by the gryphon. The combat missions you have to perform are also completely different. Moreover, you will not be the only four red dragons in your squadron. There will be other warriors joining you later.
middle."
Buck made up his mind and obeyed the arrangement, and then Li De assigned Buck and the four of them the first combat mission.
"I need you to destroy the road hundreds of kilometers away from the Swamp of Sorrows to the Redridge Mountains. Please unleash your rage there!"
