"Knew it…"

Standing on the top of one of the hills in the Hillsbrad area, looking at the Gilnean army resting on the plain in the distance, Mograine had an unexpected wry smile on his face.

Dalaran has always been tactful, unless they have sufficient confidence, they will not easily reveal their position.

There are only three countries that can walk through Lordamere Lake at will. Since Gilneas has placed the bet on Hillsbrad's long front, it is self-evident where the people who created the dense fog in the lake area came from. up.

Mograini's adjutant, Fairbanks, frowned and asked: "Alexander, the enemy has already prepared in advance, shall we fight this battle?"

"Fight! Of course we must fight!"

Mograini replied without hesitation: "Before we set off on the expedition, His Majesty Terenas had anticipated that this might happen."

"Lordaeron is the most powerful human nation, this glorious title must not be tarnished in our hands."

"Even if this battle fails to achieve the expected strategic goal, we must not show weakness to other countries. We must show that Lordaeron is still strong, otherwise... sooner or later the wall will be overthrown by everyone."

"Besides..."

Mogranifan was on the horse, and his usually calm face showed a rare look of anticipation.

"It's still uncertain who will win the final victory. How can there be any reason to be timid before fighting?"

"Fairbanks, tell the whole army to be ready for battle at any time."

"Yes!"

…

When Mograine led the army into the hilly area, the Gilnean coalition forces who were far away from the Lordaeron army also noticed their movements.

"Alessandros Mograini?"

Godfrey in military uniform took off the glasses clipped on the bridge of his nose, carefully wiped them with a handkerchief for a while before putting them back in front of his eyes.

Lord Godfrey has a high degree of myopia. Without the aid of glasses, his eyes would be blurred and he would not be able to see clearly.

Where there are people, there will be fights, and Gilneas is no exception.

Back then, when King Jin insisted on building the Greymane Wall, it caused strong opposition from many powerful nobles in the Silverpine Forest.

Darius Crowley is a representative of the nobles of Silverpine Forest.

Once the Greymane Wall is officially built, King Zeon will completely close the country, give up the territory outside the Greymane Wall, and implement the isolationism that the Greymane family has inherited from generation to generation.

Because of this incident, the northern nobles headed by Lord Crowley and the royal family were very unhappy, and even reached the point where swords were on the verge of breaking out, and civil war was on the verge of breaking out.

Where there are opponents, there will naturally be those who agree.

The eastern nobles of Gilneas represented by Lord Godfrey have always stood firmly on the side of the Greymane royal family, advocating the blockade of the country and not having official diplomatic relations with any outside country.

Although under the order of King Jean, Lord Godfrey and Lord Crowley joined forces.

However, the two have completely opposite political views, and they have no intention of sitting together to discuss military affairs. After joining the army, they will still be in charge of their own affairs.

In large-scale corps-level operations, the disagreement among the joint forces is undoubtedly a major hidden danger.

Both Godfrey and Crowley are seasoned veterans, so they are naturally clear about this.

But knowing the hidden dangers does not mean that they will compromise with each other.

In the past few days of joining the army, Godfrey and Crowley have worked hard to restrain the soldiers under them and strictly forbid any form of conflict with friendly troops.

Even so, due to the different positions represented by the two sides, small-scale frictions still occur from time to time.

King Jean, who was far away in the royal city of Gilneas, was very worried about this. Prince Liam, who learned of this, volunteered and personally led the royal guards to the front line to supervise the army.

It's called the Supervising Army, but Liam's royal family actually acted as a lubricant between Godfrey and Crowley, trying to knead the two together before the full-scale war started.

The young Prince Liam was not as stubborn as his old father. From the very beginning, he did not approve of spending huge resources to build the Greymane Wall, nor did he approve of King Jin's policy of locking the country.

However, even Prince Liam has difficulty convincing his single-minded father, and he can only deal with the series of follow-up troubles caused by this crude policy as best he can.

In terms of results, Liam did well.

Neither Godfrey nor Crowley are people who ignore national affairs for personal grievances. With both sides willing to make concessions, Liam successfully persuaded the two noble factions in Gilneas to temporarily put aside their grievances with each other and put the gun The mouth is consistent with the outside world.

…

Lordaeron and Gilneas have made preparations for the great battle on the western plains of Hillsbrad.

At the same time, Sharlayan and Valeera were preparing to go to the eastern entrance of Alterac Snow Mountain - the front line of Chillwind Hill.

After Inselton's extremely simple enthronement ceremony, Alex, who had been busy all the time, finally learned from Valeera about the "good deeds" his two sons had done. flushed.

General Haas, who had been taking shelter of the Barov family in recent years, was reinstated by Officer Inselton, and he took over the frontline battles at Icewind Post with full authority.

That's what I said, but now the people stationed at Icewind Hill are from the Syndicate, and General Haas can't guarantee whether they can persuade them to abandon the dark and turn to the bright.

In this chaotic situation, the help of the local bosses—the Barov family is indispensable.

Alex was also aware of this, and volunteered to return to Caer Darrow, and mobilize the elite private soldiers hired by the Barov family to rush to the front.

On the one hand, it is to assist the frontline soldiers to strengthen the defense line, and on the other hand, it can also deter those syndicate remnants who have no clear position.

Before setting off to leave Steinbride, Alex finally knew Wilton and Alex's "God-level" operation, and he managed to avoid getting dizzy on the spot.

The unlucky Wilton was unfortunately involved in the chaos and died on the battlefield of Caer Darrow Island together with Duke Faculest's double.

Alex is still being treated to delicious food and drinks by Mayor Matthew of Andorhal Town. After Wilton's death, it stands to reason that no one should compete with him for the inheritance of the Barov family.

However, the complacent Alex didn't know at this time, because of his brain-dead behavior of voluntarily reporting to Lordaeron that he intended to rebel, he had already been marked with a big X in his father's heart.

The royal city of Alterac was still occupied by the Frostmaul ogres, and the new kingdom of Alterac couldn't spare any troops to take it back.

Inselton will continue to stay in Steinbride for the time being, and wait until the two armies of Lordaeron are defeated before considering moving the capital.

Duke Fakurest was thrown into prison, and Duke Jorach Ravenholdt was temporarily promoted to Chief Minister of the Kingdom of Alterac by virtue of his achievements in the dragon.

In a hurry, Inselton temporarily selected some aristocrats with ruling experience to serve as his team. After the crisis subsided, he would readjust the appointment of officials, so that the capable would go up and the mediocre would go down.

All the requests made by Alex on behalf of the Barov family have been personally promised by Inselton, and they will be fulfilled one by one when the situation stabilizes.

This was something to be happy about, but because of Wilton and Alex, these two weirdos, Alex couldn't laugh at all.

The battle situation on the front line is urgent~lightnovelpub.net~ Tinagosa set off first with Alex, Salayan, and Valeera, and the Ravenholdt thieves sent by Joraczi, led by Haas, followed closely behind Full speed to Chillwind Post for reinforcements.

As they passed over Icewind Hill, the four of Sharlayan witnessed the battle on the front line with their own eyes.

Knights are not suitable for siege, because they can't ride up the wall on horseback.

The Icewind Post in this era is not as dilapidated as the barrage said. The defense facilities of the sentry post are very complete. The sentry post surrounded by tall wooden walls is like a small fortress.

With the support of Andorhal behind them, the Knights of the Silver Hand did not have a single-minded force to attack.

Under Uther's order, the Knights maintained a relatively fixed offensive rhythm during the day, and would bluff and beat drums at night, making the defenders unable to sleep well.

In the words of barrage, this is called a strategy of exhaustion.

"Not good..."

As Sharlayan made his way across Chillwind Hold toward Kaer Darrow, Sharlayan noticed the tired posture and low morale of the defenders.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Sharlayan suddenly said to Alex: "Alex, you and Tina hurry back to Kael Darrow as soon as possible to gather reinforcements, and Valeera and I will stay here to stabilize the situation...Hopefully I can make it in time."
