As soon as Duque finished speaking, a clear and sunny voice interrupted.
"If that's the case, count me in for the surprise attack later."
Duque was dumbfounded.
"Your Highness Kael'thas?"
It was the handsome High Elf Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider.
If he had not come, Duque would have almost forgotten that ever since he led the army to surround Cuel Salas and failed, Prince Kael'thas, whose reputation had plummeted, was once again sent to the Dalajan by his father and the Silvermoon Council to further his studies.
Yes, it was indeed to study (exile)!
Sometimes, Duque could not help but wonder if he was too dazzling and had instead caused trouble for Kael'thas.
However, who could be blamed for that battle back then?
If Kael'thas had really been possessed by the God of War and defeated the Horde, then Duque would not have been able to retreat thousands of soldiers with one flag.
Looking at Kael 'thas' sincere face, Duke suddenly had the urge to help this bitter prince no matter what in the future if he had the chance.
"Arthas, who has Frostmourne, is likely to have demigod-level strength, even though he has not fully unleashed it yet..."
As Duque said this, the smile on Kael'thas's face became gentler. "If you're not afraid, what should I be afraid of?"
"Your Highness, you..."
It was very rare for Duque to see something called courage on Kael'thas's face.
"We all have the same life. I don't think I'm any different from you. As a Kirin Tor Councilor, there's nothing wrong with risking my life to protect the city I work for, right? "
No... Kaizi, you've heard of me. We're really different. I can run back to the corpse and resurrect...
"Since 15 years ago, you've bravely defended this world time and time again. Fifteen years have passed, but I've accomplished nothing. I'm beginning to realize that it's my inner cowardice that's restricting my progress... "
No... Kaizi, when you realize that death will only lose your moral integrity, you won't be afraid of death.
"Today, I think I should take this step."
Alright, take a step. Don't blame me if you pull your balls.
Duque no longer had any anger towards Kael 'thas, who had transformed into Xuanzang's chanting state.
At this moment, a series of high-pitched and low-pitched bugles came from the distant battlefield.
"Hehe! As expected of a tribe. "Duque smiled.
"What did the Green Dwarfs say?" Antonidas asked.
Duque pursed his lips and translated, "We can work together this time. After that, we'll still be enemies."
"Hmph!" Several big shots of the alliance snorted coldly. Their faces were filled with a strange expression that said, "Beastmen are so unreasonable".
Duque didn't dare to speak. At the end of the day, he was the one who had dug the pit for the Orcs to jump into. Although the Alliance and the Horde had been enemies for generations, the Orcs had indeed reached their limit as they wanted to cooperate with each other.
Duque was also worried. He had been given such a bad hand as soon as he returned. If he had the elites of the Watchtower, would he still need to make use of the Orcs? First, the Orcs were overturned, and then Arthas' Doomsday Army was flattened.
The most troublesome thing was that the best Holy Knights weren't by his side. What could Duque do?
"We can act later," Antonidas said in a low voice.
Duque glanced at the Breaking Dawn Mage and sighed in his heart. Old man Antonidas is old, stubborn, and corrupted.
If they acted later, they could weaken the Orcs, but in a sense, they would also be watching the Orcs and the Doomsday Army fight to the death.
However, this was too short-sighted.
At this point in time before Archimonde, the big shot of the Burning Legion, arrived, Arthas, as the strongest Death Knight, was the biggest threat. To a certain extent, the Alliance would benefit from an internecine outcome. It would be very difficult to trick the Horde into joining them.
Duque didn't know if he could stop Archimonde's arrival. If he failed, it would obviously affect the upcoming battle of Mount Hyjal — that would be the first time the Alliance, the Horde, and the Night Elves worked together.
So after hearing Antonidas' suggestion, Duque shook his head. "No! Compared to the Horde, who has lost the courage to fight us, Arthas is the biggest threat. If we let the Horde go, it's just another battle. The Alliance will have an 80% chance of winning. However, if we let the Doomsday Army go, the entire Rotterdam will not see a single living person for three months. "
Duque's description of the future was a little exaggerated.
However, the snowballing ability of the Doomsday Army to turn people into zombies was undoubtedly very shocking.
Antonidas was silent.
"Woo woo woo —" The Alliance's marching horn sounded.
This time, there were no reckless cavalry charges. Instead, the heavy infantry with big shields was in front, the spear team was in the third row, the javelin team and the archer team were in the middle, and the cavalry was in the two wings. It was a standard Rotterdam army formation.
At the back were the Dalajan Mages and their guards.
The infantry and cavalry trotted all the way in a perfect and oppressive formation, pushing straight towards the back of Arthas's Doomsday Army.
"Don't be afraid! Don't hesitate! The Holy Light shines on us. "
"Those monsters are no longer our family. They're evil undead!"
"Blow up their heads and chop off their claws. Don't stop until their heads are smashed into smashed watermelons."
"Even if these monsters bite you, they might turn you into monsters like them! The wounded should retreat immediately and request for the Priest's Holy Light treatment! "
"If there are no Priests or Paladins around, when you lose all feeling in your limbs, you have to break them immediately before the numbness spreads to your body. Otherwise, you'll become a damned living dead."
"Bring the Holy Water with you. It will save your life at the critical moment!"
The Alliance's lieutenants kept shouting, reminding the soldiers of various things to take note of. Those were originally the experiences that the Silver Dawn and the Scarlet Crusade had gained from decades of extremely tragic and cruel wars in history. They were distributed by Duque in advance.
No one knew how Duque got those experiences.
However, just like the veterans who had become officers, they believed in Duque unconditionally during the World War II at the Dark Portal.
Now, they still firmly believed in him.
It was different from the Orcs' wild way of killing their enemies. The Orcs killed ten thousand of their enemies and lost three thousand of their own. Then, these three thousand would turn into zombies to find trouble with their own people.
The Alliance's destruction of the Doomsday Army could be said to be quite thorough.
Most of the zombies and ghouls that pounced on them were first baptized by the Mages' [Firewall Spell] and then by the arrows and javelins before they could reach the front of the formation. When the sparse Undead pounced on them, the third and fourth rows of spearmen would often accurately pierce the heads of these Undead that were charging straight at them.
If there were any that slipped through the net, a sword-and-shield soldier would first hold them off. Then, several spears would directly stab the zombies into specimens. Finally, the sword-and-shield soldier would use short swords to chop the zombies into parts.
