Chapter 245 Perfect Deception
"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!" Duke Marcus, the majestic Neptune, sky mage, and deputy commander of the alliance, was struggling to heal his injuries in the cabin.
"My lord, you are too self-respecting. You have absolutely no need to accommodate that wild woman from Quel'Thalas. As a powerful mage who deserves the most perfect protection, as an important minister of the Stormwind Kingdom, as one of the most important figures in the alliance ，你应该考虑一下找个合适的贵女成婚。而不是跑到那种整天在树林里跳来跳去的野女人面前挨揍。”
Gavin Ladd is using holy light to help Duke heal his wounds.
Duke grinned, but did not veto Gavinrad's words. This does not mean that Duke approves, just because it is useless to say it.
Gavinrad * Doom, as the most capable fighter among the new generation of Stormwind nobles, was forced by Lothar to the consecration ceremony of Archbishop Faol and became one of the first seven paladins. It's a pity that among the Seven Paladins, Gavin Ladd's strength is only higher than that of Windsor, who is the worst, and even lower than Bolvar, who Duke stuffed in.
As the first generation of five paladins in history, Gavin Ladd is also the most non-existent. In the later battle of Andorhal, Gavinrad died at the hands of Arthas who became a death knight.
It's not that Gavin Ladd is too watery. In terms of force, if the strongest Uther is defined as a full value of 100, then Gavin Ladd is around 82. Probably an excellent level. The main reason is that the other first-generation paladins were too aggressive.
His natural strength is not enough to explode, coupled with a lot of aristocratic thinking and devotion to the Holy Light is not particularly high, which makes his performance in history not outstanding.
As a guard, his performance is enough to reassure Duke.
Even knowing that Gavin Ladd is for Duke's good, sometimes certain words are very harsh, such as:
"Master Marcus, if you need to vent, I would actually suggest you..." Gavin Ladd glanced at Vanessa, and then said solemnly: "It would be nice to find a maid, such as Vanessa. After all It's one of our own, and..."
Vanessa made a move out of embarrassment, and a [Shadow Step] flashed behind Gavin Ladd, which was a [Backstab].
But paladins are Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death, not to mention that Vanessa's cultivation is far from home. Gavin Ladd actually turned around halfway, raised his fist gleaming with holy light, and knocked Vanessa and her dagger away.
"Oh, it's fine if Vanessa doesn't want to. But my first teacher back then was my maid. Even today, when I'm not married, she is still my lover. Sir, you should understand that the marriage of nobles is very prudent. .”
Little Vanessa bared her teeth and roared over there: "Asshole, I won't let you go."
"Hey, Vanessa is my maid."
"Of course, Your Excellency, I will have a good chance of not hurting her." While speaking, Gavin Ladd knocked Vanessa away with another punch.
"Okay, okay, I know which one to marry or something, so don't talk about it in the future."
"Understood, my lord."
Apart from his aristocratic thinking, Gavinrad is essentially a very good paladin. But that's all. Duke would safely send Windsor out to help him control the private soldiers of the Marcus family, but he would not let Gavin Lard out.
In the following days, the relationship between Duke and Aurelia... how should I put it, it should be normalized. Just do whatever you want. There will be neither too much intimacy nor the so-called estrangement. The two get along naturally, the only problem is that Aurelia still often treats Duke like a child.
Lothar also teased Duke from time to time, saying that he took over the two most beautiful elf rangers, but couldn't eat any of them.
Time to step into November 11.
Lothar found that nothing made him laugh.
The Griffin Sentinel, who was deployed near the wetlands and near the mountains around Ironforge, returned, almost in the form of a corpse. In order to ambush them, the Horde sent out a large number of search parties.
Proudmoore's ship also returned.
And Duke's naga scouts.
They all brought the same bad news.
The Horde has seized more than 90% of the dwarven kingdom of Khaz Modan, and has begun to use the dwarven mines to build their own ships - unlike the previous wooden transport ships, which were some big, rough iron ships, Steering was awkward, but the cabin could carry a thousand orcs.
These boats would carry the Horde quickly across the water, and they were clearly aiming straight for Southshore, the western coast west of Southshore to be precise. Because these days, there have been countless tribal scouting boats attempting to pass through the interception of the Naga and the murlocs to investigate what's going on on the west coast.
As for Nanhai Town, there was not a single tribal scout ship, completely like an abandoned target.
It seems that if the Horde successfully lands or even establishes a position on the west coast of Hillsbrad, it will be at the midpoint between here and Gilneas, not far from the territories of Gilneas, Dalaran, and Alterac.
Then the tribe will take the initiative, and the orcs can attack in any direction.
If the Alliance can move quickly, it is perfectly fine to wait there for an onslaught when the Horde arrives.
"Assemble the army." Lothar roared: "Abandon everything you don't need - if we are alive, we can send people back later! Now, we just need to guarantee the speed, let's go! Let's go!"
As his other lieutenants were about to step out of the command post to muster their own troops, Lothar turned to look at Duke, with the kings standing by: "Sorry, your Southsea defense line seems to be useless. The Horde replaced one Great Chief, I feel much smarter."
Lothar comforted the young Duke. Not only Lothar, but also many people gave Duke a consoling look. Everyone knows that Duke spent unimaginable efforts to build the defense line of Nanhai Town.
As a representative of the elves, Alleria also attended the meeting. She almost wanted to step forward to comfort Duke.
At this moment, Duke suddenly spoke.
"Commander Lothar, do you want the few elites of the Alliance to fight against the Horde in the open field like this?"
Lothar's face was a little unhappy: "Then what else can we do? We can't control the landing site of the tribe. It is also impossible to arrange a long line of defense along the entire Hillsbrad coastline at this time. If the tribe Landing on the west coast will directly bypass your defense line against the sea in South Sea Town, and all alliance troops will be surrounded and wiped out in South Sea Town."
Lothar explained to Duke almost as a senior tactician, half explaining, and half ordering.
At this time, he and Aurelia saw the corner of Duke's raised mouth at the same time.
"Then just let the tribe come to Nanhai Town to die." Duke snapped his fingers, and Wen Desalton, who was next to him, immediately understood, and walked out of the command post, waving two red flags high.
Then in the next moment, countless fortresses suddenly appeared on the distant hills where there were only greenery...
Lothar and others were stunned.
