Remember [New] in a second! Uther gave Dathrohan a deep look: "Saidan, don't put the cart before the horse."

"The Knights of the Silver Hand are certainly Lordaeron's regular army, but we are paladins, not mercenaries who only care about profit."

"As you said, if a surprise attack is sent out at this time, with the field capabilities of the Knights of the Silver Hand, it is indeed possible to defeat Barov's reinforcements in one fell swoop, but..."

"Do you really think that the enemy will not take any precautions against this? What if you step into the opponent's trap and the raid fails? Can you bear the consequences?"

"this…"

Saidan Dathrohan is a typical soldier, he doesn't have so much fuss, and he thinks about it.

"Forget it, I can't tell you."

Dathrohan clasped his arms around his chest angrily, and sat down on the boulder by the river.

"I'd like to see how you plan to fulfill His Majesty Terenas' order and break through this strong mountain guard post."

"Breaking through...?"

Uther smiled bitterly: "At this point, do you really think we can still achieve the strategic goals we made before we set off?"

Dathrohan, who was full of anger, rarely saw the dejected look on the old man's face, and he was stunned for a moment before he asked in puzzlement, "What do you mean?"

"Even if Icewind Post on the eastern front cannot be breached, the western army led by Alexander should have made some gains, right?"

"A mere Alterac, which has been destroyed for many years, can still find flowers?"

Uther patted Dathrohan's shoulder and sighed softly.

"Sai Dan, you are a good general, but you can't be a handsome man who coordinates the overall situation. Do you know why?"

"Uh~"

Dathrohan scratched his head with his big, muscular hands: "Your Majesty also mentioned it before, saying that my overall view is not broad enough."

"exactly."

Uther looked worriedly at the snow-capped Alterac Mountains.

"If my prediction is correct, Alexander should be worried right now."

"Lordaeron has been too eager for quick success over the years, so too many people have been offended. Gilneas and Dalaran will not make it easy for us. The Alterac rebellion this time is not as simple as you think."

…

Without the interference of the Knights of the Silver Hand, under the anxious attention of Mayor Matthew, more than 300 elite cavalrymen of the Barov family were successfully welcomed into the fortress of Chillwind Hill.

Since Syndicate has a single occupational composition, it has never been dispatched before, so it can only passively guard this strong fortress.

Seeing that the supplies from the rear are getting less and less, but the enemy's offensive has never weakened, it is strange that the morale of Icewind Post is so high.

Steinbride... and even the whole of Alterac changed hands completely, Inselton immediately ordered the temporary ministers headed by Jorach Ravenholdt to ensure that the logistics supplies sent to Chillwind Post must not be The rations of frontline soldiers were cut off.

The first shipments of food from Steinbride entered the fort as General Haas led a large number of Ravenholdt thieves to the front.

The soldiers whose ration consumption was strictly controlled by the Teta brothers and sisters finally had a full meal, and the soldiers' mood soon became high.

The big soldiers didn't care who Fakurest or Inselton were in power. The reinforcements from General Haas and the Barov family arrived one after another, sending a good signal to the soldiers on the front line.

The rear is stable, and there is no need to worry about additional logistics supplies and reinforcements. The soldiers on the front line only need to concentrate on doing their best to defend the fortress.

Sharlayan and Valeera quickly solved the unrest in the fortress of Chillwind Hill, and other good news followed. The morale of Chillwind Hill naturally also rose, and the previous lifeless look was no longer seen. look.

When the second batch of grain transport team arrived, the Barov messenger who came with the grain transport team secretly brought a message to Sharlayan.

"opened?!"

Sharlayan looked at the messenger with wide eyes: "Did Meri mention more detailed information?"

The messenger with an ordinary appearance and figure nodded silently, and handed a letter with intact beeswax to Sharlayan.

Salayan and Valeera didn't take Tinagosa and Merry with them when they set off from Steinbride.

Meri, who stayed behind, communicated with Alex's confidantes, and with the help of Tinagosa's keen perception of the direction of the magic net as a blue dragon, he found the Thoradin that Alex had mentioned before. Chamber of Secrets.

Meri is a human elder who has experienced the rise and fall of the Arathor Empire... although he is now a Lich.

To Merry, Thoradin's method of sealing the chamber was very familiar.

Even if contemporary mages found this place, they would not be able to open the door, because Thoradin used a very ancient arcane sealing method, which has a strong sense of age.

Even with the assistance of mages who are proficient in ancient secret arts, it will undoubtedly be very difficult for contemporary arcanists to break this seal.

But Thoradin's seal couldn't trouble Meri, an old lich. It only took a week of research, and Meri, who was extremely knowledgeable, solved the mystery of the seal.

The messenger who delivered the letter still had a task to return to Caer Darrow, so he left after handing the letter to Sharlayan.

Sharlayan quickly returned to the tent assigned to him, eagerly tore open the beeswax, and read the contents of the letter together with Valeera who was equally curious.

"Uh~ this handwriting..."

Seeing the crooked Salas words on the letter, the corners of Sharlayan and Valeera's mouths twitched at the same time.

Without careful identification, one can tell at a glance that this letter must have been written by Tina Gosa, at least it was written by her.

From a certain point of view, this is also an encrypted letter, and most people really can't recognize Tina's "crazy grass".

Sarlayan rolled his eyes and handed the letter to Valeera: "No, I don't understand, you should 'decipher' it."

Valeera glared at Sharlayan angrily: "What don't you understand, you just have no patience... Forget it, I'll do it myself."

Deciphering information was originally one of Backlight Blade's specialties, and Valeera had also received rigorous training in this area.

Under her patient translation word for word, Sharlayan finally understood what Tina wrote in the letter.

"Trollbane?"

Sharlayan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Thoradin would put this well-known troll killer in the secret chamber.

The Trollbane mentioned here is not the surname of the Stormgard royal family, but a two-handed battle ax named "Trollbane".

Trollbaroll means troll in the common language of mankind, and bane means destruction and nemesis.

These two words together mean troll buster, or troll slayer.

The first generation of Trollbane, who rose up with Emperor Thoradin, was called the Troll Slayer, and this two-handed battle ax was his side weapon.

In recognition of the outstanding contributions of the Trollbane family, after the official establishment of the Arathor Empire, Emperor Thoradin bestowed a holy sword named Torkala on Ingnaus Trollbane to encourage him and his descendants Continue to contribute to the defense of the Arathor Empire.

According to the records, the troll-slayer battleaxe named after Trollbane has not been seen since.

There are rumors that the ax was taken desperately by trolls, and others that Thoradin the Great took it to his tomb.

After breaking Zul'Aman, Sharlayan found a broken two-handed ax suspected to be Trollbane in the treasury of the Amani troll~lightnovelpub.net~ But the battle ax was too broken to be used. According to the appraisal, the enchanting structure inside the battle ax has long been damaged, and it is impossible to restore it to the original state.

If it hadn't been for Meri's repeated mention in the letter that the real troll slayer—Trollbane—was found in the chamber of secrets, Sharlayan would really have thought that the trophy collected by the Amani troll was genuine.

Merry was a person who witnessed that era. He must have seen the real Thorbane battle ax with his own eyes, and it is impossible for him to admit his mistake.

According to Meili, the troll-killing battle ax that Emperor Thoradin kept in the secret room was actually a divine weapon, and it is still full of vigor. It injured a servant of the Barov family who was accompanying him as soon as it was unsealed.

"Um…"

Sharlayan rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "Why did Emperor Thoradin hide the real Trollbane battle-axe in the secret room?"

Valeera also looked at a loss about this, and analyzing the general situation was not her strong point in the first place.

The barrage gave some guesses at this time.
