Vanessa and the others returned to the old man's secluded hut, which was very hidden. The female werewolf reported the information she found to her, and her dwarf and high elf friends pestered Tailan Fording to learn the way of the holy light.

A day later, Old Fording came back. There was no scar on his body, and his clothes were clean. It was obvious that he hadn't fought, but his face was ugly.

"The situation in Stratholme is very bad, Dathrohan... oh!" He sighed, at his level, you can tell at a glance whether there is a holy light in the opponent's body, the so-called Dathrohan He looked at it, and the appearance was majestic, but in fact, his body was full of evil energy. If he was said to be one of their five great paladins, he would not believe it if he was killed.

"How are you discussing?" he asked several people.

Vanessa raised her hand and signaled Tylan Fording to speak.

"We must regroup the Scarlet Crusade, but I don't have any rights anymore. Your Highness means to raid Hearthglen first and take this stronghold as our first base in the north." Tylan Fording was a little frustrated, Obviously he is the lord, but he can't help much now.

Vanessa pulled out a map of Lordaeron from the desk, which he found in the library of Stormwind City. The map is a bit abstract, and there is no scale, but a shape can be seen.

Gathering several aspects of information, Vanessa now has a relatively comprehensive understanding of the Scarlet Crusade, and the current task revolves around how to smoothly incorporate this force.

The Scarlet Crusade is very poor, with no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, fighting alone, and being able to support it until now has to be admired.

However, the potential of this organization has been squeezed to the extreme, and now it is like a spring, it has reached a critical point, and if there is any more pressure, it will definitely collapse.

Like in the game, there is no such thing as sending people from thousands of miles to recruit soldiers in the desolate land of Kalimdor. Vanessa asked Tylan Fording, and the other party didn't even know where the so-called desolate land was, let alone Not to mention conscription.

I'm afraid that no humans have set foot in Desolace from the beginning to the end. A military organization like the Scarlet Crusade, which requires its troops to be purely human, would go to such a place to recruit soldiers? What about the brain?

The Scarlet Crusade now has only three and a half strongholds.

Stratholme is led by the leader Saidan Dathrohan himself, and there are a lot of elite soldiers under him, but old Fording has confirmed Dathrohan's identity as a demon, and the undead army still occupies most of Stratholme's area , here can only be regarded as half a stronghold.

The remaining three strongholds are the Scarlet Monastery that has done a lot of transactions with Vanessa, the fief of Fording and his son Hearth Valley, and the easternmost city of Holy Light, Tyre's Hand.

"Now the Crusaders have 3,000 elite troops in Stratholme, which is the most equipped and morale army. In Hearth Valley in the Western Plaguelands, there are 2,000 soldiers and 3,000 civilians. In the Eastern Plaguelands, The Crusaders gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and more than 20,000 civilians and craftsmen. In the Scarlet Monastery in Tirisfal Glades, there were 800 soldiers and more than 500 civilians. The Argent Dawn and the Scarlet Crusade Separated, they also took in some population and soldiers, and these are probably the only remaining population of Lordaeron..."

Tylan Fording told his father what he knew.

Lordaeron, which used to have a population of one million, now has only so few people left, it has to be said that it is embarrassing.

Vanessa quickly corrected her: "Actually, there are more than 10,000 Lordaeron civilians in my Western Wilderness. In the Kingdom of Stormwind, there are some civilians who went south that year. I discussed this issue with Bolvar. He agreed in principle to let us take these civilians away after the founding of Lordaeron. In addition, after the defeat of Marshal Garithos, some soldiers and civilians retreated to South Sea Town. For those soldiers and civilians, I estimate that the total population of Lordaeron can be restored to about 150,000.

"

One hundred and fifty thousand people can only be produced by patchwork. It has to be said that it is a bit painful, but it is better than the previous estimate. With the population, the country can recover.

Old Fording nodded: "It is the right choice to take down Hearthglen first."

He looked at the map carefully, and finally pointed to the Eastern Plaguelands, an area north of Tyr's Hand: "Is this the location of the Holy Light's Hope Chapel? How many people are there in Silver Dawn?"

Tylan Fording glanced at Vanessa.

She can only answer this question.

"Silver Dawn's information is very complicated. Their main force is a coalition of seven great nobles. There are too many people there. Not only humans, dwarves, and gnomes, but even the Forsaken are also in their camp. The total force is about There are about 5,000, and there are many civilians, more than 20,000. I have contacted them and they are willing to cooperate."

Vanessa said it lightly, but in fact the other party gave her a bad feeling. There is a mixed bag of good and bad people in Silver Dawn. This organization has no future at all. It's okay for the Forsaken to appear in the camp in a grand manner, and there are also Lich and Lich in the dark The high-level human beings that Wang colluded with, united with them? Isn't this nonsense!

The subordinates she sent only confirmed cooperation matters with Silver Dawn, and didn't talk about when or how to cooperate. It can only be said that they have this intention.

"Cooperate, I understand..." Old Fording understood. Silver Dawn is willing to cooperate~lightnovelpub.net~ but is unwilling to be ruled, at least unwilling to be incorporated so unconditionally.

They may surrender when they are in the ascendant, but it is useless to rely on some righteous name to persuade them. Some nobles have a history not much worse than the Menethil family, and they have the confidence to refuse.

Draw red circles on the three places of Scarlet Monastery, Hearthglen and Tyr's Hand to indicate that they are places to be occupied, and put a green circle on the Silver Dawn of Light's Hope Chapel to indicate that they are forces that can cooperate.

They established the current goal. Vanessa, Fording and his son went to Hearth Valley, and the female werewolf and the three of them continued to search for news.

 …

Hearthglen is a fiefdom passed down by the Fording family for several generations, and is now occupied by the Scarlet Crusade.

Stationed here is the high-ranking priest, one of the founders of the Scarlet Crusade, and the great prosecutor Ethan Lien, who is also Tailan Fording's teacher.

Ever since Lordaeron was taken over by the undead, the priest of the Holy Light has become more and more irritable.

Iselion's belief in the Holy Light is devout and firm, and many people think that he had hoped to go one step further and become the new spokesperson of the Holy Light on the ground.

But when facing the undead of Lordaeron, like the Archbishop of Stormwind City, he had a crisis of faith in the Holy Light.

Poor strength, sometimes has the advantage of being poor, unlike the direct blackening of the archbishop, the values ​​of the bishop of Yisenlien were distorted to another direction by the crazy external environment.
