Chapter 194 Kel'Thuzad's Help Two in One(1/2)
Chapter 194 Kel'Thuzad's Help (2-in-1)
As soon as the man's words came out, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
This move is really cruel, not only for the enemy, but also for yourself.
But let's not say that if we look at the current situation and historical trajectory, this plan should be considered the best choice at the moment.
At least that's what Murphy thought. He looked closely and saw that the person speaking was Kel'Thuzad, the special envoy of Dalaran.
It turned out to be him. No wonder, Mo Fei thought to himself, he was probably the only one who could come up with such a cruel trick.
The others looked at Kel'Thuzad somewhat strangely.
The middle-aged uncle had a calm expression on his face, as if he had no idea about the amazing move in his plan.
These bold remarks immediately made King Ryan look ugly.
Abandoning one's own country, burning down one's capital, moving around, and defecting to other countries, this is not something a king can do.
Ryan (Storm King): "That's enough. My ancestors left us the foundation of the kingdom. This land was obtained by my ancestors with their blood and lives. As a member of the Storm King, I must protect my land."
, my people, no matter what happens, I will live or die with this city."
Kel'Thuzad seemed to have anticipated King Llane's reaction, and just smiled disdainfully without saying anything.
Ryan (Storm King): "Abandoning the country and running away is absolutely not considered. Please continue the discussion."
Someone else suggested, "Immediately ask for help from all the countries in the alliance and ask for reinforcements. The alliance needs to assemble a large army and it will take at least several months to come to the rescue, but if it only sends a small group of elites, it can arrive quickly."
This proposal is exactly what the title implies. Although a small group of elites cannot reverse the situation of the war, it can express the attitude of various countries. Reinforcements can at least inspire people, and the more troops the better.
King Ryan nodded, "This plan is very good. We will immediately send envoys to request support from various countries."
The special envoy of Kul Tiras suddenly said: "Kul Tiras has decided to send a fleet to support, and it will arrive within ten days."
Murphy suddenly remembered that he still had a fleet anchored in King's Harbor.
He raised his hand and said, "Alterac's fleet is also willing to be on standby at any time."
Varian glanced at Murphy gratefully.
Although the navy is useful, it cannot go ashore, which obviously does not solve the problem.
King Ryan also nodded: "Thank you to the two princes for their generosity. At this time of crisis, only by uniting as one can the alliance overcome this crisis."
Someone else suggested, "If the orcs want to attack Stormwind City, they must transport siege weapons to the city before they can attack the city. Not all of the enemy's millions of troops are elite. We should send elite cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's march, delaying the attack."
The speed of the enemy's advance."
King Ryan nodded: "This is also necessary. When Duke Lothar comes back, let him lead the Storm Knights to attack, and then recruit adventurers to join the raiding team. As long as the orcs can be eliminated, I will not hesitate to reward you."
"Militia should be recruited as much as possible. The militia is not very useful in positional warfare, but if the city wall is used for defensive warfare, the militia can still be of some use."
Ryan (Storm King): "Bovar, I appoint you as the militia commander. After the meeting, the militia will be fully recruited and trained in the kingdom immediately."
After some discussion, everyone actually came up with some effective strategies.
Although it cannot completely reverse the situation, it can at least provide some effective strategies for the subsequent war.
However, the millions of orcs' army still weighed on everyone's hearts like an insurmountable mountain. To fight against such a powerful army, everyone thought hard and couldn't think of a way.
The military meeting ended soon. Time was tight and there was not much time to waste.
King Ryan did not hesitate and immediately sent Duke Lothar to lead the Storm Knights to attack.
The powerful Storm Rider has extremely strong mobility and can easily destroy lone orc troops.
At the same time, infantry were dispatched to build official buildings near the bridges of several rivers to delay the orc attack as much as possible. At the same time, Bolvar was dispatched to summon the strongest men from all over the country...
Murphy, Varian, and Arthas came to a room to discuss alone.
Varian looked a little frustrated.
Varian (Prince of Storm): "Brother, third brother, I'm afraid this war won't be over in a short time. I hope you can support me regarding the crisis facing the Kingdom of Stormwind."
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "If you save people and lose their land, everyone and the land will survive. If you save the land and lose people, you will lose both people and land. As long as the people of the Kingdom of Stormwind are still there, the Kingdom of Stormwind will not perish. Second brother, I think
You may consider Master Kel'Thuzad's plan."
Arthas (Prince of Lordaeron): "Yes, second brother, Master Kel'Thuzad is very wise, and his words should make some sense."
Varian shook his head, "It's useless. Although my father has a generous character, he values the foundation of the kingdom and the glory of the king very much. He will never do such a thing as giving up the kingdom."
There was one thing he didn't say, that is, he couldn't do it. Giving up his kingdom would be such a shame for a royal family. Onlookers could naturally make such suggestions easily, but in the situation
How can it be so easy to do?
However, he also knew that it was unrealistic to use the strength of the Stormwind Kingdom to fight against the orcs. Originally, he had placed all his hopes on the adventurers, but now it seems that it is not so easy to win with the adventurers alone.
But he doesn't know yet that adventurers have already appeared in the tribe. As time goes by, the tribe's adventurers will also grow up, and then it will be even harder to rely on adventurers to win the war.
If things really reach that critical point, it is indeed necessary to start preparing for a rainy day.
"Brother, although giving up the kingdom is something that I cannot do at the moment, I hope you can let your fleet help me transport some civilians to the north for refuge, and at the same time transport reinforcements, food, and ordnance to Stormwind City. In the next war,
Stormwind City will become a powerful fortress against the orcs, and the population without combat power must be reduced as much as possible."
Murphy nodded, "No problem, are we brothers? I will help you both publicly and privately. Don't despair of Varian. We will eventually defeat those orcs."
"Second brother, I may have a way to defeat the orcs." Arthas suddenly said hesitantly.
Varian was a little surprised, "What can I do?"
"To fight against the orcs, we must have a huge army. Our biggest problem now is that the number of troops is too small. Master Kel'Thuzad once told me about a magical magic that can resurrect the dead and form an army of the undead.
If this kind of magic can be popularized, maybe the situation can be reversed..."
Varian's eyes lit up, "Then what are you waiting for? Come quickly and invite Master Kel'Thuzad."
Five minutes later——
After hearing Varian's intention, Kel'Thuzad nodded silently.
Kel'Thuzad (Archmage of Dalaran): "I do master a brand new magic, which has extremely powerful power. It can resurrect the dead and create powerful undead creatures. If I can master this power, I can even reverse this war.
.
I call it necromancy, but the use of necromancy magic will touch many taboo things in the eyes of the world, so this kind of magic has never been popularized. Dalaran even strictly prohibited the research and use of this kind of magic. Those short-sighted and pedantic people
They are deeply bound by tradition and do not dare or want to try this new thing and this fascinating power.
Prince Varian, if you are willing to fund me and help me build a Scholomance Academy in the Kingdom of Stormwind, I would be willing to teach this fascinating art to the world. By then, an army of undead will join your command. The real
The undead army...
Think about it, necromancy can resurrect the dead and allow them to stand up again and continue fighting. The upcoming war between the Alliance and the Horde will inevitably produce tens of thousands of corpses. If these dead can be used, it will undoubtedly be possible.
It serves the purpose of changing the situation of the war."
Varian looked surprised when he heard this, "Is necromancy really that powerful?"
Kel'Thuzad nodded and said: "Theoretically, this is true, but to resurrect the dead requires powerful magic. To resurrect tens of thousands of undead, a large number of necromancers are needed. I can only say that this kind of magic has the potential."
"Can you show it to me?"
"Of course, but this kind of magic is considered taboo in Dalaran, and it can easily cause panic for ordinary people. It's best not to be seen. In addition, I need a few corpses as a carrier for casting the spell."
"No problem, I know a place that meets the master's requirements."
Half an hour later, the four of them arrived at an abandoned cemetery outside Stormwind City.
This is the Unknown Cemetery, where all the unknown dead are buried, and the bones that have not been collected are buried here together.
Since the corpses are all buried without anyone claiming them, no one usually comes to pay homage to the deceased. But every once in a while, corpse buryers will bring new unknown corpses for burial.
The lifeless cemetery is full of dilapidated tombs and nameless tombstones. Some coffins that were not buried deeply were dragged out of the tombs by wild dogs and scattered all over the ground.
Arthas was obviously a little nervous about this gloomy and terrifying place, and he touched the hilt of the Joy of Fire sword uneasily.
Varian paid no attention to the gloomy scene around him.
He even took the initiative and easily dug out several corpses from the graves.
"Master Kel'Thuzad, please."
Kel'Thuzad nodded and skillfully used psychic magic on a corpse that had not yet decayed. This corpse should have been a bandit's life. There were obvious sword wounds on his body. A wound penetrated the heart, and the wound was already overgrown.
Got maggots.
Resurrect the corpse!
The dead man opened his eyes suddenly, and a faint blue light appeared in his white eyes. He stood up from the coffin unsteadily, and made a horrifying sound from his mouth.
Walking Dead (Undead): Level 3.
Varian walked around the mummy twice, then suddenly swung his sword and the corpse fell down.
Varian suddenly showed a disappointed expression, "This is too weak."
Kel'Thuzad nodded, "It is indeed very weak, but this is only the most superficial application of necromancy. Next, I will show you some more advanced techniques. In the meantime, I must remind you that the following
There may be some blood in the picture."
Varian said: "Don't worry, Master Kel'Thuzad. I have traveled all over the world and have seen many terrible scenes, so feel free to do something about it."
To be continued...
