Chapter Three - One Hundred and Twenty Four The Collision of Land and Sea - Hidden Worries (2 in 1)
"At the cost of a batch of food and eliminated weapons and equipment, we can win over the wild boars for our use, and let them harass the barren land and entangle the taurens..."
"Send a group of squadrons to force the force, which shocked and threatened a group of Blood Sail Pirates and three fishman tribes to join forces to attack the village of the Dark Spear Troll..."
“It’s done well, it’s done very well, which is far beyond my expectations.”
In the captain's room of the "Sea King", Admiral Delin Proudmore, after listening to the report of the young man in front of him, he was interested in selecting the big spy leader, Matthias Shore, who stood with a stern hand, looked up and down, and sighed with admiration:
"It must be admitted that even in the harsh kings will not demand more of you and your subordinates in terms of intelligence gathering and infiltration behind enemy lines!"
While sighing at the efficiency and methods of MI7, the Admiral couldn't help but love talent and tried to win over it in a joke-like tone:
"Maybe I should discuss with King Varian Wrien, let him give up your love and leave you in the Kurtilas Navy and stay by my side to assist me. I can even give fifty first-class battleships to the Kingdom of Stormwind, and exchange that boy Varian for your allegiance..."
"Maybe you can consider it, Matthias. Join the Kurtilas Navy to show its strengths!" The eyes were bright, and Dai Lin stared at the young man in front of him with eagerness and appreciation, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and his wrist was extremely old. He almost straightforward and naked, digging up the corner:
"I can proclaim you to viscount and allocate a first fertile and rich land for your fief in the land of the Kingdom of Kurtiras!"
"I can leave the position of the Chief of Navy Intelligence to you, give all my strength and provide all the conveniences to rebuild an intelligence organization that is no less than the MI7th! Think about it, wherever the Kurtilas naval battleship goes, we have our spies; all ports and docks have our intelligence sources!"
"What a huge intelligence network that will be? As long as we think, there will be no intelligence, and any information can escape our ears!"
After a generous temptation and win over, General Dai Lin quietly looked at Matthias Shore, who was still expressionless and seemed unmoved. He invited him with a sincere and solemn tone:
"How is it, young man? Maybe you should think carefully about what I just proposed."
"If you are worried that Varian would be unhappy because of this, you can rest assured. I still have a little bit of thin air in front of him."
"You know, I rarely give invitations as seriously as I am now. The last time I treated this way was the unrestrained guy Jack Sparrow (Eastern Egg). Fifteen years ago, he was just the captain of an armed pirate ship called the Black Pearl. Now... he is a navy general, the deputy commander of the main naval fleet of the Kurtiras!"
"Young man, I hope you know that I really like you!"
To be honest, this time the Admiral really loves talents, otherwise he would not have been wasting his words for a young spy. Unfortunately, General Dai Lin's efforts were still difficult to get what he wanted...
"Thank you for your love and appreciation, General." Matthias Shore showed gratitude, but he was unmoved to win over the admiral in his heart. After stroking his chest with respect, the ninth-level assassin finally refused the olive branch from King Kurtiras in front of him without hesitation: "But from the first day of my charge of the 7th Military Intelligence Department, I have already sworn to the Holy Light, and will be loyal to the Storm Kingdom and His Majesty King Varian... Please forgive me and can only refuse your kindness!"
"Oh. That's a pity!"
Admiral Dailin showed an undisguised disappointment, as if he was very sorry for the missed encounter with such a young hero. Matthias Shore was even more grateful to see this scene. Even though he knew that the admiral's regretful expression had something to do in it, the same was true.
After all, even if you are "acting", it would take some thought, which in turn shows how General Dailin values him. Otherwise, there would be a few noble kings who would do this for a thief and assassin walking in the shadows?
Well, King Ryan, who was killed by Garona, should be considered one...
It can be seen from this that Ms. Gianna of Theramore's future political skills and diplomatic wisdom can be praised, which is why she inherited her father's excellent talent...
"Forget it, since you have a firm attitude, let's not mention this matter... Well, help me with the staff. Let's plan for the next action, young man?"
After gently exposing the matter that had been politely rejected before, General Dailin brought the topic back on track, returned to his seat and stared at the Karimdo map, thinking about his offensive plan.
“From the current situation…”
"In the next period of time, both the Taurus of Mogaole and the trolls of the Echo Islands will be in a state of great anxiety and are unable to send support to the orcs?"
The Admiral who kept knocking on the table with one hand without hiding his joy in his heart, asked directly: "Maybe, we should act sooner! We must not give those green skins a chance to breathe!"
No matter whether the previous statement was a performance or sincere, Matthias Shore, the intelligence leader, was already grateful. At this moment, facing the admiral's inquiry and discussion, Shore naturally began to consider the other party sincerely.
He frowned slightly and observed the red and blue arrows on the map that depicted the positions of both sides of the enemy and us. Matthias Shore organized advice in his mind. After thinking for a moment, he spoke seriously and said his opinion:
"Improve it, General Dailin."
"Maybe... the situation is not as optimistic as it seems."
"Those wild boars also have their own small abacus, or their own ambitions. Perhaps they will not do their best to restrain the Taurens' troops as we expected."
"Moreover, although the Wild Boars have many troops... they are definitely not the opponent of the Taurus in their overall strength. I am afraid that even if they try their best, they will not be able to delay the Taurus for long. After all, judging from the information we collected, in the battle against the demons on Mount Haigal, the Taurus proved that their praise for "the strongest on land" was not groundless and boasted by themselves..."
Matthias Shore's words were filled with fear of the Tauren warriors. He paused slightly, as if he remembered some sad memories. The hatred and anger in his eyes flashed away. He took a breath before continuing to speak:
"After all, the fishman and the Blood Sail Pirates who attacked the Echo Islands are just a group of mobs who face trolls, especially a group of well-trained and powerful trolls... they also have no chance of winning."
"What's more, these two races and forces with bad relations with the Kingdom of Kurtiras are less trustworthy than those of the Wild Boars."
"Even if we take our coercion and temptation, we will not rebel or escape in the middle of the battle. All they can do is to send troops to Orgrimmar's offensive plan and gain some time for you."
Unlike the confidence and pleasure displayed by the Admiral, the chief intelligence leader Shore still had a serious expression. After pondering for a moment, he reminded him with a cold water splash:
"And, please forgive me for some of the following words that may not be appropriate, Your Excellency. I am not questioning the bravery and tenacity of the Kurtiras Navy soldiers... but the combat effectiveness of the Beast soldiers is higher than that of our ordinary soldiers... and now, our troops do not have much advantage... The victory or defeat is really unpredictable."
"Even if the Holy Light protects us from the final victory, it will only be a miserable victory..."
After looking at the Admiral whose face gradually became gloomy, Matthias Shore finally gritted his teeth and said his proposal:
"In my opinion, now is definitely not the best time to attack orcs!"
"Perhaps, you should give up this action and wait for the next time that is more suitable and more confident! For example...waiting for our Storm Kingdom to resolve the Defia Brotherhood of the Western Wilderness Rebellion, and deal with the orc threat from Blackrock Mountain, and to make plans when we can take action to draw troops to support the formation of the coalition forces!"
Matthias Shore seemed to have not seen Admiral Dalyn Proudmore's face with an increasingly unkind face. He still spoke his heartfelt words on his own. Since the previous Admiral could treat him so politely, he should think about him... Even if he knew his loyal words were unpleasant, he had to do:
"At that time, we will gather the military strength of the two kingdoms of Stormwind and Kurtiras, and have a bridgehead for attacking Kalimdor like Theramo. When we face the orcs, we will attack and defend, and stand firmly invincible. If we can find other trustworthy allies, or persuade Gilness, who is closed to the country, to send troops to help... then our chances of victory will be greatly increased...so,..."
"Enough!"
General Dailin snorted coldly and interrupted Shaw's consolation with anger.
Matthias Shore, who had been paying attention to the expression of the admiral, saw that the face of the King of Kurtiras was like the unpredictable weather on the endless sea. It turned into cloudy, cloudy and cloudy, but even when it turned into a storm, the dark clouds in the sky disappeared in an instant, and finally turned into a depressed sigh:
"I know what you said makes sense, young man...but this battle has reasons why I have to fight... The Holy Light has not left me much time!"
At the end of the conversation, General Dai Lin's voice was almost whispering, and he was inauspicious. He did not explain more about this issue. The Admiral, who had always been tough and tough, seemed to have suddenly become aged in his teenage years. He waved his hand at the intelligence leader Xiao Er, and spoke in a low tone:
"I'm a little tired... Young Shore, if there is no other report, let's stop here today. But..." As he spoke, the admiral suddenly returned to his former majestic appearance, glanced at Shore standing in front of him in the captain's room, and the lieutenant adjutant who kept bowing his head and silently reminded him in a deep voice:
"However, I don't want the fourth person to know about the passage just now! The war is imminent, and any remarks that shake the morale of the army cannot be spread... Otherwise, don't blame our military law for handling it! Do you understand?"
Shore and the lieutenant nodded with a serious expression. After accepting the admiral's instructions, Matthias Shore, the intelligence chief of MI7, bowed and walked out of the captain's room.
But just as soon as he reached the door, Matthias Shore seemed to have thought of something, suddenly stopped, turned around and said:
"There is another situation, maybe you should know. Your Excellency the Admiral."
Facing General Dai Lin's slightly puzzled gaze, Shore reported a message without evasion:
"In the deal with the Wild Boar Man, the other party put forward a condition that made me wonder... They hoped to get the corpses of orcs who died in battle on the battlefield, and they would send people to collect them themselves..."
"Well... strange request!"
The Admiral frowned in confusion after hearing the information conveyed by Shore. After a while, Darin Prodmore waved his hand irritably and complained slightly dissatisfiedly:
"Okay, I understand. Those green-skinned corpses are of no use to us... Since those wild boars need it, let them collect it themselves! I have no intention of collecting corpses for those green-skinned devils!"
...
Matthias Shore had been away for a long time. The captain of the "Sea King" was buried in the room behind the map and documents. Suddenly, a violent coughing sound was heard. He took out the square scarf on the neckline and covered his mouth. After a while, the cough stopped. He put it back in his pocket without hesitation.
No one except Delin Proudmore himself noticed the little red blood on the scarf.
"There is not much time...the merciful light, why don't you punish those evil orcs, but you are so cruel to your believers?"
"Why are you so stingy to provide your believers with more time...at least...at least, let me see the days when the orcs are destroyed with my own eyes!"
"Since you are unwilling to forgive your believers... I have to fight for it myself!
A trace of sadness surged in the admiral's chest. He was confused and confused, muttering to himself in an indefinite voice. He didn't even hear his adjutant's call many times.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
"Huh? What's the matter?" General Dai Lin, who finally came to his senses from a trance, hurriedly concealed his loss of composure and restored his majestic expression. He looked at his adjutant.
"Are you okay? Your Majesty? It's time to take medicine..."
The lieutenant's face contained concerns. As the person who spent the most time with the admiral on the ship, the lieutenant knew a little about the situation of the admiral's health. His Majesty, who was tough and sensible in the past, often coughed violently in private, and even had to drink unknown potions twice a day in the morning and evening.
He did not publicize this secret, but it did not prevent the adjutant from expressing his concerns and...advice:
"Your Majesty, Bishop Wien has always told you to rest more and not to overwork... But you always turn a blind eye and leave it behind. If you continue to care about your health, I will forcibly implement my responsibilities as an adjutant and arrange treatment for you!"
"After all, your body is important!"
The blond adjutant stubbornly swayed his neck and looked unwilling to persuade him. No matter how outsiders view Darin Prodmore, at least every Kurtilas naval officer sincerely admired and loved their commander and king.
From this point of view, Delin Proudmore is also a rare wise monarch. After all, not all soldiers and officers will respect their commanders as much as their fathers...
"eventful!"
"Are the tasks and work I assigned you too easy, so that you can waste your spare time? It seems that I should give you more things to do!"
He glared at the adjutant who looked like "despised death as if he was home". The Admiral smiled and scolded with anger: "I know my body myself. Do you hear that the priests who are accompanying the ship do not have to worry about it?"
Looking at the young adjutant's complicated expression of grievance mixed with worry, the admiral's heart warmed up, and most of the depression in his previous heart disappeared. He didn't want to save the situation more about his physical condition, General Dai Lin changed the topic without any trace:
"Tell me what you think about the plan I just talked about, and see if I have any omissions!"
"Your Majesty... the wild boars, blood sail pirates, and fishmen are not trustworthy and their combat effectiveness is worrying. They must not resist the counterattack of the Taurens and the trolls. Choose them as allies..." The lieutenant adjutant thought for a moment, and hesitated to give the answer. But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Admiral.
"Ally? They are not qualified yet!" Dalin Proudmore sneered in disdain and said mockingly: "Forge an alliance with a group of pirates, bandits (1), inferior creatures? I, Dalin Proudmore, wouldn't have reduced my identity like this!"
He glanced at the somewhat embarrassed adjutant, and the Admiral taught earnestly:
"You must remember that at some point, you can win over the maximum and use all possible people and forces for me. This is the necessary skills and overall view of the superiors. But after all the values of these people and forces are squeezed out, they will abandon them as if they are worn out, and even draw their swords in turn to eliminate hidden dangers. This is also the necessary mind and quality for the superiors.
"This is called...politics!"
"Whether it is tempting with interests or coercing with force... it is just using them to drag down the orcs' allies!"
"As long as we can get enough time for us, I don't mind giving them a little sweetness... As for their ending, it's not within my consideration."
It seemed that he didn't want to say more about this topic, or he had reconsidered the previous doubts, and the Admiral frowned slightly and murmured to himself:
"What do those wild boars want orc corpses to do?"
...
On the banks of the Nushui River, staring at the direction of the wild boar troops evacuating in a panic, Captain Jevanen also frowned and asked the old man Gundru beside him in confusion:
"The wild boar man put the weapons all over the ground and did not pick up the corpses, but took them away... The following does not count the main text... Yuan Fang, what do you think about the wild boar man asking for the corpses?" General Dai Lin glanced at his adjutant and asked faintly.
"Your Majesty, something must be strange at this time!"
Note (1) The Wild Boars are very bandits, and robbing adventurers and caravans along the way happens a lot, second only to the Centaur. (To be continued) q!~!
