Chapter 399
Fortunately, these dragons are not really on the side of the tribe, but they have to be controlled by the orcs because of the existence of the dragon's soul.
Therefore, Ye Ting only needs to find a way to snatch or destroy the dragon's soul, then the secret weapon of the orcs will immediately turn around and become their talisman.
However, there is another problem here, that is, if the orcs lose the secret weapon of the red dragon, their warchief Orgrim Doomhammer will not hesitate to give up the plan of the landing operation and switch to another Choose the plan to attack the mainland of Lordaeron.
As a result, Ye Ting's original idea of expecting the orc troops to come to the sea, and then use the alliance's marine strength to surround and wipe them out, came to nothing.
You must know that although the orcs have the help of trolls and goblins, and have the power to build ships, their naval combat capabilities can never be built in a day or two. In addition to ships, naval battles also require a large number of experienced sailors. familiarity, etc.
Although today's orcs have built a fleet sufficient to transport a large army, they have no naval combat capability and are just living targets in front of the Alliance's navy. If they can lure these living targets to the sea, the Alliance can pay a small amount of losses. Destroy a large number of tribal armies under circumstances and let these greenskins feed the fish.
Of course, although this plan looks good, there are huge difficulties in actually implementing it.
That is, how to get the orcs to the sea.
This is also the reason why the generals of the Alliance have always felt that it is impossible for orcs to attack Lordaeron by sea - no matter how you look at it, it is courting death.
The mistake of the alliance generals was that they underestimated the wisdom of Orgrim and did not know the existence of the Red Dragon in advance.
Ye Ting now has to think about how to induce the tribe to maintain the original plan while eliminating the threat of the red dragon.
Ye Ting's conclusion is that the operation to save the red dragon and recapture the dragon's soul must be completed after the Horde fleet leaves the port, and before that, before the Horde fleet and the Alliance fleet come into contact--even Try as soon as possible.
In this way, the tribe's fleet would not be able to receive the information of the secret weapon anti-water in time, and even if they received this information, they would not have time to return to land after they were already floating at sea.
And the task must be completed early, so that the news can be conveyed to the Red Dragon who is escorting the Horde fleet in time, so as to avoid the alliance fleet from suffering too much losses.
At the same time, this operation should not be noticed by the tribe before it starts, preventing them from canceling the plan when the situation is bad.
This series of constraints added many constraints to Ye Ting's planned actions.
First, the operation must be as secretive as possible, preferably in small groups, rather than dispatching troops, so as not to be detected by the tribe.
You must know that Grim Batol is still some distance away from the alliance's territory. The dispatch of the army not only greatly slows down the speed, but also requires a lot of preparations. Basically, it is difficult to cover up the trail.
Second, the action must be fast, which places high demands on the task performer. From the time the tribal fleet leaves the port to the contact with the alliance fleet, it seems that there may be a difference of about a day, but the time for reconnaissance and monitoring of tribal intelligence, the time for information delivery, the time spent on the road, and so on are also excluded.
As a dwarf city built in the mountains, Grim Batol is similar to Khaz Modan's Ironforge, and almost the entirety is buried in the hollowed-out mountains. It is quite easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if an army is used to attack, It wasn't something that could be captured in a day or two. Coupled with other constraints, the only option left for Ye Ting was to sneak in.
But how easy is it to sneak into such a city? At least it can't take too little time.
In addition, the purpose of Ye Ting's organization of this action is not just to defeat the orcs while regaining the dragon's soul.
He also hopes to use this operation to entrap Deathwing.
This guy who betrayed the guardian dragon has long lived in seclusion in order to avoid the threat of the guardian dragon. Even his children do not know his whereabouts. His conspiracy about the dragon's soul can be said to be the only one that Ye Ting can currently Get clues about his movements.
With the importance of the dragon's soul, Ye Ting believed that although Deathwing never personally took control of the artifact, he would try to monitor the existence of the artifact in secret. His ultimate goal was to lure other guardian dragons, especially Alek, through the orcs. Stazar took the bait, then controlled them and used them to strengthen the Black Dragonflight.
As a life-binder, Alexstrasza's fertility is not impossible. Even though she has been parthenogenetic for hundreds of thousands of years, Alexstrasza has developed the Red Dragon Legion into the largest of the six-colored dragons. power.
And Ye Ting was planning to use this opportunity to snatch the dragon's soul through the team of mortals, and let the guardian dragon lie in ambush behind. When Deathwing made a move to stop the mortal, it was when the guardian dragons appeared.
Such an ambush, even if it didn't kill Deathwing in a single battle, could teach him a huge lesson, and he had to lie dormant for a while.
Of course, in order to achieve this condition, the mortal team responsible for infiltrating Grim Batol could not even get the help of the dragons. Only in this way could they deceive Deathwing, but this also increased the difficulty of the operation.
In the end, Ye Ting made a decision to take action himself and recruit a group of elite teams to cooperate with him.
Of course, it is inevitable to use the power of the alliance.
In order to avoid exposing his relationship with the three guardian dragon sisters, he specially asked Alexstrasza to order the red dragon Krasus, who was hiding in Dalaran and silently observing human society.
The dragon's name is Cleostrasz - he is one of the six Kirin Tor councils to propose this mission.
The plan is set, and the rest is execution.
Chapter 0523 Mission from Dalaran
A few days after Ye Ting made the plan, the Kirin Tor six-member council of Dalaran held a special meeting in the air council hall.
The initiator of the meeting was Krasus in the Council of Six. This red dragon hidden among the mortals got this task from his queen. In order to save his compatriots and gain the queen's favor, the Alexstrasza After personally confirming the situation, one of the licking dogs immediately initiated this council.
In the parliament, Krasus changed his usual attitude of making soy sauce, and told the rest of the councilors the information he had about Grim Batol. A colleague understands the importance of this.
Although Dalaran has always been on the top of the alliance countries, it is generally reluctant to get involved in world affairs. Even the war between the alliance and the tribe is not a big deal in the eyes of some of them.
However, the news about the dragon still caught their attention.
In particular, according to Krasus' intelligence, they noticed that the orcs may have controlled the dragon in some way.
This unknown method is still very attractive to many mages.
In addition, there is a stakeholder in the Council of Six: Kael'thas, in addition to being one of the Council of Six, is also the prince of Quel'Thalas, and Quel'Thalas' army is also part of the Alliance army. One member, it is very likely that he must face the dragon flame of the giant dragon head-on.
As a result, the parliament finally unanimously passed the resolution that a special envoy needs to be sent to Grim Batol.
Even if the envoy can't complete the task, or even find out how the orcs control the dragon, at least he can detect the actions of the latecomers in advance.
Of course, it was about the dragon and the unwillingness of some mages to get the idea (to find a way to control the dragon), the council did not pass the information to the commander of the alliance, but decided to deal with this matter privately.
Then, there was a conflict between the six-member council over the selection of the special envoy.
First of all, the six bosses themselves are definitely not willing to go in person. This mission is quite dangerous even for them. They even have to face the legendary dragon. If they can, they are naturally unwilling to take their own lives try risk.
Of course, Krasus, who knows the inside story, knows that this mission is not too dangerous. After all, there are several bigger bosses who are watching this matter (referring to the guardian dragon). If a pig does this task, it can at least come back alive.
Of course, though, he wouldn't reveal the dragon's secrets to these mortals.
As a result, the Council of Six started a debate on the selection of the envoy.
Of course, it is impossible for Ronin, who made a big splash in Grim Batol in the original book, to play. The future leader of the Kirin Tor is still just an ordinary magic apprentice, and he is working tirelessly to climb up. It will be at least four or five years before he emerges in Dalaran.
So, at the end of the debate, the candidate still fell on the youngest archmage in Dalaran, who is also a rookie who has recently made a splash, Sander Liver.
The reason why Ye Ting was able to be elected smoothly was that he was tough enough in the background.
On the one hand, as the initiator of this meeting, Krasus strongly recommended Ye Ting-although the red dragon itself did not favor this human mage who had just arrived (for the age of the dragon), he couldn't bear it. The queen who lived in him appointed a candidate, and Krasus didn't know what Queen Alexstrasza saw in this lucky human being, but as the queen's loyal support (ou), he naturally had to obey the queen's orders.
On the other hand, Kael'thas also chose Ye Ting. When dealing with matters concerning the safety of the elf army, this elf prince originally considered that it would be more reliable to have a high elf deal with it. Under these circumstances, he finally voted for Ye Ting.
Although His Royal Highness has long been dissatisfied with the relationship between the human mage and the two goddesses in the rangers of Quel'Thalas for a long time (there are rumors that Kael'thas has pursued Sylvanas), but from this point of view , and he had to admit that it would indeed be more in the interests of the high elves to make this human mage a messenger.
A prince with his people in his heart, of course, can only let go of his selfishness at such a moment.
In the end, the remaining members had to agree to this candidate.
At least, Ye Ting, who had just arrived, didn't have too close ties and interests with all of them. In fact, the reason why Ye Ting arranged for Krasus to raise this matter at the Kirin Tor Council has long been considered: he not only used the special friendship he established with the high elves in the diplomatic work of the alliance, but also used his newcomer. And the identity of the neutral faction, in Dalaran, a wizard who has the ability and belongs to the neutral faction will become the Kirin Tor council's last resort and compromise with each other in this situation - Ye Ting himself is such a person Pick the one with the strongest ability.
Therefore, he was basically certain that he would be selected as the special envoy with a high probability.
