Chapter 229 Unreasonable Quantity (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Duke choked on the drink he just drank, and it was not light, making Terenas and Anduin amused.

"Cough cough cough, why me? Could it be that the paladin introduced by Archbishop Faol is the right choice?" Duke whispered his doubts.

On the long table, Terenas gracefully put down the wine dish in his hand.

"That's also a choice." Terenas looked at Anduin, and Anduin immediately returned a knowing look.

Anduin said: "I think it's similar to the reason why I was elected as the commander-in-chief of the alliance. If there is no Duke, maybe the King of the Seven Kingdoms will choose Bishop Faol, who is more neutral in the matter of the deputy commander-in-chief of the alliance army. An elected 'Paladin'."

As if singing a double reed, King Terenas said again: "All the dwarves need is support. After getting enough support, the dwarves will not have a mobile force for a short time. But the kings of the Seven Kingdoms are different. They have to consider their own army. It will be safer to hand it over to whomever. What's more, the seven countries have handed over their elite troops this time. We trust Lord Lothar, but there are often times when it is necessary to divide troops in the military. In fact, a man with a strategy and a Decisive and fair enough, it’s really hard to find candidates who can be accepted by all countries.”

Anduin interjected again: "I understand that the Archbishop wants the 'Paladins' to perform a miracle, but there are better and safer options, why should we take an unnecessary risk?"

Terenas laughed hehe, his gray silver hair was rippling, but he looked a little cute in Duke's eyes at this time: "There is a ready-made, recognized and fair one with a proud record and enough neutrality." If you don’t choose a candidate, you still go to choose a completely unknown novice? This is the biggest absurdity.”

Duke is a little embarrassed, and also a little bit finally feels that he has changed history.

Yes, he himself forgot, he is the most suitable one.

In history, Lothar almost ran to the northern continent alone. He was born in Stormwind City, so he naturally couldn't affect the interests of the five northern continents and Kul Tiras. The same goes for Duke. The root of Duke's interests lies in the southern continent. In addition, Duke has successfully conquered the kings through a series of successful performances such as transferring the command of the fleet, so Duke has the upper hand.

And Turalyon, who had already ascended to the sky in one step, was considered to have ascended to the sky in the next discussion with Lothar. Unfortunately, halfway through, Turalyon continued to be Lothar's deputy, but an adjutant in the army, not an alliance Deputy Commander-in-Chief, not to mention independent leadership.

In the eyes of King Menethil and Lothar, Bishop Fao would not be dissatisfied with giving such a high position without seeing the so-called paladins. This is entirely for the face of the Archbishop. After all, a paladin is a combat profession, not a strategist academy, a commander who came out of a military academy.

"I'm sorry, Turalyon..." Duke smiled bitterly in his heart.

Next, we talked a lot during the luncheon. Terenas talked about the formation of the Knights of the [Silver Hand] with paladins as the core. This is not a short-term matter. It will take at least a month to recruit people from Lordaeron and even the entire northern continent. Then training, reorganization, and implementation of beliefs, it will take at least three months to form combat power.

But the tribe's cross-sea attack is imminent.

After lunch, during the afternoon military discussion.

The hastily built grass team gathered together.

The main attendees and their alliance ranks are:

Commander Anduin, Deputy Commander Duke, Admiral Daelin, Lieutenant General Mograine, Major General Abedis.

Of course, the main reason is that most of the kings of various countries have rushed back to the country to deploy troops, and the king of Lordaeron is not good at military affairs, so it is enough for him to send troops and money. The kings of various countries have also agreed in private, specifically prohibiting Terenas from intervening in command.

Daelin is a king, but at this time he has entered the role of admiral of the alliance well, showing respect for the commander-in-chief Lothar.

"The current situation is that my fast scouting ship found that the Horde has built a large number of small and medium-sized transport ships, but I have not found any large ships comparable to our destroyers."

"A large-scale crossing of the sea does not require any cover?" Lothar's head hurts: "This is completely inconsistent with common sense."

"That is the common sense of human beings." Duke reminded lightly: "If it is a normal human being, it is absolutely impossible to climb the cliffs to the east and north of Stormwind City and attack the two low walls of Stormwind City. When we arrive, Stormwind City will also fall for this.”

No one refuted Duke.

Lothar looked up: "Who has a reasonable inference?"

Duke glanced at Admiral Dai Lin, and pointed to South Sea Town in the middle of the huge map: "If I don't have good shipbuilding skills, or have enough time to build a large number of warships that can compete with the enemy, but I have enough troops, then I will Use a large number of transport ships to drown the enemy."

Dai Lin looked at Duke with a bit of displeasure: "I would like to remind His Excellency the Deputy Commander-in-Chief that the first fleet of Kul Tiras has already arrived at the pier in South Sea Town, and the second and third fleets will also arrive within five days. .And the Storm Fleet, which your Excellency transferred to me before, was on standby in South Sea Town early in the morning."

The implication is that don't underestimate the dominance of our Kul Tiras in the field of naval warfare.

"Very good confidence, Your Excellency Admiral, may I ask how many warships are there in total for the four fleets?"

"12 reconnaissance ships, 312 destroyers, 89 cruisers, and 18 large warships." Admiral Daelin proudly puffed up his chest: "If all the tribes come are these moving target ships, Kul Tiras The Navy can wipe it all out at sea."

"Nice number, but what if the Horde invades with more than 10,000 transport ships? 20,000? 30,000? What if the number of enemy ships far exceeds the total number of artillery fires of your army?" Duke continued Ask.

Dai Lin's face finally turned a little bit wrong: "This...should be impossible?"

Duke dug out a 3D video, which was a fragment of the Horde using hard labor to sacrifice at will and attack Stormwind City.

"See? This is the tribal labor. These laborers who have no survival value in the eyes of the orcs will be used as cannon fodder at will. There are more than 500,000 known tribe warriors, and this does not include these laborers. If I take this In my hand, I will build 20,000 transport ships, and the first 5,000 ships will be the minimum number of laborers to maintain the navigation of the ships. They will even consume the ammunition on the human side through ship tugs. When Daelin hits the cannon, your ship will almost explode My regular troops will come when the gun is ready."

The scalps of all the generals were numb, Lothar took a deep breath: "Then what can be done?"

Duke smiled: "Please allow me to introduce to you, the defense line of Nanhai Town."
