Volume 7: Battle for Azeroth Chapter 354: Great Counterattack Plan
Murphy listened to the system's announcement and couldn't help but admire Godwin. This Godwin was quite strategic. He actually used the confrontation with Prince Adam to get himself promoted ahead of time.
This method is really powerful. In real life, he might be a business elite or a master of strategy, right?
Could this guy be an old man? The kind who pretends to be young in the game, Murphy couldn't help but think so when he looked at Godwin's face.
Although the game characters in Sky World will be simulated according to the player's appearance, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can even become the son of the God of Creation. It is definitely possible to slightly change your age and appearance.
Therefore, Murphy couldn't help but suspect that this guy might be an old man in his sixties or seventies.
At this time, Godwin's face was solemn and dignified. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as he finally became king. He became excited again.
To become a king, you have to show your skills.
Godwin (King of Lordaeron): "As the King of Lordaeron, I will remain loyal to my oath and the honor of my family, fight against the Horde, and wipe out the orcs!
I have prepared a plan for tomorrow's battle, please help me with your comments."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and immediately a servant brought the prepared plan.
"In addition to supporting various battlefields today, I also did a very important thing, which was to collect military intelligence from the tribe. Thanks to those adventurers who were not afraid of life and death, I basically have a grasp of the tribe's current military deployment."
As he said this, he asked the illusionist to push up the updated sand table.
Seeing the tribe’s military deployment, everyone was amazed.
The troop information on this sand table is so detailed that the numbers of almost 90% of the tribal legions can be found.
Blayney (Prince of Gilneas): "Your Majesty Godwin, how did you do it? This is amazing."
"Haha, I can only say that I naturally have my own way."
Murphy was also observing the deployment of tribal troops on the map. From the sand table, there were very few troop numbers on the two wings, and they were all small clans with little fame.
The most powerful main armies were almost all concentrated in the center, with a solitary mountain called Broken Spear Peak as the core, and distributed in layers.
No wonder the alliance made certain breakthroughs on the left and right wings throughout the day, but suffered heavy losses in the middle, with every attack being blocked.
However, this layout of piling troops together is not really a smart one. It completely lacks strategic depth and can easily be cut off and surrounded on a large scale.
As the orcs' chieftain, Orgrim defeated Stormwind Kingdom. Logically, he shouldn't be so ignorant of military affairs, right?
"You have all seen it."
Godwin said: "The orcs should be carrying out some kind of secret plan, and the key point of the plan is at Broken Spear Peak. According to my intelligence network investigation, the tribe has arranged the most elite Blackstone Legion around Broken Spear Peak.
At the same time, almost all the high-level shamans of the Shadowmoon Clan gathered there.
At the same time, there are orc laborers who continuously transport large amounts of supplies there, but it is not yet known what they are specifically doing.
There are also a large number of fire elemental creatures in that area. Obviously, they are performing some kind of ritual. If I were to make a bold guess, they are either summoning a powerful fire elemental lord or even the fire elemental king Ragnaros himself.
Or maybe he's preparing some powerful spell, some super magic that can destroy an entire army at once."
Having said that, everyone's eyes turned to Murphy.
Murphy shrugged helplessly, "I just used some strength casually, who knew those orcs were so weak, they fell down before I even exerted much strength."
This time no one responded, thinking that you can just pretend, we won't be your stand-in.
Muradin, on the other hand, burst into laughter.
"That's right. Those orcs just rely on their numbers. If my warriors were not so few, our dwarf army alone could beat them back."
Everyone also ignored the dwarves' habitual stubbornness. There were quite a few dwarves in Ironforge, and they could only defend.
Lothar said: "Then, Your Majesty Godwin, what are your plans for this?"
“For this situation, I think we have no choice but two strategies: either avoid this Broken Spear Peak or
Or we can attack Broken Spear Peak with all our might and completely destroy it before the other side can prepare for the ceremony. If we succeed, the tribe will completely lose the initiative."
Everyone agreed with this.
However, everyone has different opinions on whether to attack or avoid.
Someone suggested: "We don't need to take this risk. We might as well bypass Broken Spear Peak and attack their rear from both sides. Once we break through the Wrathfang Plain and block the tunnel halfway up the mountain, their retreat will be cut off, and these 500,000 orcs will completely become our prey."
But someone immediately objected, "No, if the other party succeeds in summoning the Fire Demon King, then we will be the ones who will be surrounded."
Then someone else said: "The key now is to figure out what they are doing, whether they are summoning the Fire Demon Lord or preparing to cast 'super magic'."
"That's right, otherwise it's just luck."
Murphy listened to the conversation of the crowd and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
Fire Elemental Lord? I'm familiar with this.
He directly opened the private message channel, opened the friend list and took a look. Fortunately, the other party was online.
Just send a private message.
Aidan: What are you doing, man.
Laglios: Who are you?
Aidan: I’m Mexican.
Laglios: Morpheus? How did you become a human?
Aidan: I practice the trumpet.
Lagrios: Damn, so awesome? Your trumpet is quite powerful. I saw the world announcement just now. "Storm Disaster"... I am a level 80 Fire Lord and I haven't even got the exclusive title yet, but you got it first. What do you want to talk to me about?
Aidan: I want to ask you something. Is there any movement in the Firelands recently? Is Ragnaros, the Firelord, taking any action?
Laglios: Hey, well, I’m afraid it’s not convenient to talk about this.
It’s not convenient to say... Haha, it seems like there is indeed some movement.
If there is really nothing going on, the other party will most likely be curious as to why you are asking this. Since the other party says it is not convenient to say, it actually means that something must have happened.
Aidan: Let me guess, the Horde will summon the Firelord to descend upon the Material Plane?
Lagrios: Damn, how did you know that? I see, there must be a spy in the tribe, right? Damn, I knew those stupid orcs couldn't accomplish anything great. I'll have to tell the boss later not to spoil them too much.
Aidan: That's right, and we also know that the location of their summoning ritual is at Broken Spear Peak.
Lagrios: ... I'm speechless . What the hell is going on? The details have already been investigated before the fight even started. So why are you telling me all this? You already know everything and you're asking me?
As expected, Mo Fei thought, now it's just a matter of details. The key is when the summoning can be completed. Don't let the summoning be completed when you kill him, otherwise you will be caught in a trap.
Murphy is quite self-aware. The Fire Demon King is a world-destroying BOSS. If he really faces the Fire Demon King, he, the Storm Dragon King, will not be able to defeat him at all.
Aidan: Because we are good brothers. I can't just stand by and watch my brother in trouble. I have to remind you that the tribe's plan has been known to us. If you really respond to the call, you will be jumping into a pit.
Although you won't really die in projection mode, it's not pleasant to lose levels or ranks.
Laglios: I won’t say anything more, brother, you are really nice.
Aidan: So will you follow the Fire Lord tomorrow afternoon? Don't hurt your friendly forces by mistake.
Lagrios: Tomorrow afternoon? Haha, those stupid orcs told you that? You've been fooled. How can the ritual to summon the Fire Lord be completed so quickly? At least we have to wait until the morning of the day after tomorrow to start the summoning ceremony. I have a subordinate who is the supervisor there and told me so himself.
Aidan: Really? Damn, those orcs sounded so real that I almost believed them. Thanks for the reminder.
Lagrios: What are you thanking me for? We are not related. You're welcome. By the way, you are not planning to attack Broken Spear Peak in advance, are you?
Aidan: We can't attack. You know what the terrain is like in the wetlands. It's all muddy swamps. Attacking would be just giving away lives. We plan to go around and attack the tribe from behind. Anyway, the projection mode will continue to consume energy in the main material world. As long as we are far enough away to let the summoned fire element dissipate on its own, we will be done.
Laglios: That's true. Then I won't accept the summons.
After finishing the conversation, Murphy looked at everyone again.
But everyone is still arguing.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "I think I know what the orcs are doing. They are indeed preparing to summon the Firelord, and the summoning ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow morning. At this moment, they are building the summoning altar, and those laborers are transporting the materials needed to build the altar."
Everyone looked at Murphy in surprise.
Godwin asked in confusion: "Prince Aidan, how did you know such detailed information?"
Murphy smiled slightly, "Haha, I can only say that I naturally have my own way."
Godwin was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.
“Prince Aidan is indeed a hero of the Alliance. This way, the next plan will be easy. We must not let the Fire Lord be summoned to this world. If he succeeds, we will completely lose our advantage.
So my plan is to concentrate all our forces to launch a fierce attack on Broken Spear Peak tomorrow.
Although the enemy has many troops, the knights of our alliance are all powerful warriors, well-equipped and well-trained. If we can launch a mass charge, we will definitely be able to break through the enemy's defenses."
Someone immediately raised a question: "But Your Majesty, how will the terrain problem in the swamp area be resolved?"
Because the swamp area is muddy and full of rivers, it is impossible for large troops to advance quickly, which gives the defenders a natural advantage.
Someone suggested: "Gather all the mage troops, use ice magic to freeze the ground of the swamp, and create a solid ice road."
This is a good plan, but using noble mages to pave the way makes the archmages of Dalaran somewhat unhappy.
But for the victory of the alliance, they had no choice but to agree.
Godwin continued, “The tribe’s forces are very dispersed, and they obviously cannot anticipate that we will concentrate a large number of forces to attack.
We will gather 30,000 of our most elite knights and launch an assault from the front. I will lead this army myself. Uther, Saidan Dathrohan, Turalyon, Gavinrad Doom, you will lead your respective troops to launch the attack with me.
I suggest that the air force be led by Prince Aidan, with Prince Falstad as adjutant, to cover our attack throughout.
In addition, the infantry led by Grand Duke Bolvar, Grand Lord Mograine, Prince Muradin, Prince Blaney and others took the lead in launching an attack to attract the attention of the tribe.
Wait until the enemy's reserve is called out, and then use these 30,000 knights and 3,000 air forces to break through the enemy's defense line in one go.
Our goal is to destroy the altar on Broken Spear Peak and stop the summoning ceremony, so there is no need to fight a war of attrition. Once we break through the direction, we will immediately go up the mountain, kill all the orc shamans, and then retreat immediately. "
This plan is bold, but it has a very high chance of success. Today's day-long war of attrition has allowed both sides to understand the terrain of the wetlands. It is impossible to concentrate large-scale troops, especially cavalry, in such a swamp area. The enemy will certainly not be able to anticipate such an action.
Moreover, Godwin actually wanted to go to the battlefield in person, which could be considered as a token of his loyalty.
After thinking for a while, everyone nodded in agreement.
Murphy also voted in favor.
Godwin was very excited. It felt really good to command a group of people.
But he did not drift away. The last time he drifted away, he was almost killed by Aidan. This time he had to keep steady.
When the meeting was over, Godwin called Murphy, Lawrence, Sean and Mia together separately.
He looked at Murphy first, "Prince Aidan, the life and death of me and the thirty thousand knights tomorrow depends entirely on you. Please be sure to protect our sky."
Murphy was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Godwin to trust him so much. Okay, this guy has a big vision.
He nodded and said, "Don't worry. For the victory of the alliance, I will fight alongside you. I guarantee with my honor that I will never betray you."
Godwin nodded and looked at Lawrence, Mia and Sean.
Before Godwin could speak
Lawrence took the initiative to say, "Don't worry, big brother. We will definitely not play against each other tomorrow."
Godwin smiled and said, "No, I'm afraid I need you to fight again."
Prince Lawrence was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Contact the players on the tribe side and tell them that we will continue the fight tomorrow. The person you want to sell this time is me. Just tell them..."
Godwin then told his plan.
Lawrence's eyes widened when he heard this.
"Will this work?"
"How do you know if you don't try? It's not you who's taking the risk anyway."
Lawrence thought so too.
Immediately contacted the players in the tribe.
Lawrence: My friends in the tribe, will you continue to brush tomorrow? "
Badao Wuqing: Damn, what a waste of time. We were badly screwed by you guys in the battle this afternoon. More than 10,000 troops were killed, and several heroes were killed. What’s the point of still brushing? My brothers are scared.
Lawrence: It's not our fault. You're just too weak. Tens of thousands of people can't even defeat a dragon, and it took so long to kill Muradin. If you should have dealt with the dwarf earlier, there wouldn't be so much trouble.
Badao Wuqing: That Aidan is a cheating bastard, he is almost invincible, how can I beat him?
Lawrence was also silent, thinking, is this Aidan really that powerful? He doesn't look that great, just ordinary.
Lawrence: That's nothing we can do. Aidan is a good friend of Muradin. He will definitely go to support his friend when he is in trouble. Besides, he can fly, so we can't stop him. But don't worry, this time we have a perfect target to sell to you, Godwin. He is now the King of Lordaeron. Killing him will definitely give you a lot of plot points.
Moreover, he is well-equipped, with top-notch configuration . He will definitely become rich after being killed. Besides, he and Aidan are not on good terms. If he is beaten up, Aidan will definitely not go to help.
Badao Wuqing: Get lost! You also say Godwin is the king. He has so many soldiers. If you dare to sell them, we dare not buy them.
Lawrence: Don't worry. I just finished a high-level meeting with the alliance. He will go to the battlefield in person tomorrow. It will be a good opportunity. I just want to ask you if you want to do it. Let's do this...
Then he explained the plan again.
The other party was indeed moved after hearing this.
Badao Wuqing: It sounds quite feasible. Okay, let’s do it. I will contact a few more brothers and we will act together when the time comes. What do you want to exchange for?
Lawrence: Orgrim, Ner'zhul, High Overlord Saurfang...all are fine.
Ba Dao Wu Qing: It's not easy to get a hero of this level, so let's put it this way, I'll contact you tomorrow to see how things go."
Badao Wuqing closed the private message, but a look of doubt appeared on his face.
Around him were the same group of players who had participated in the duel today. They were also holding their own meetings.
Iron-blooded Wolf (War Wolf Chief): "How is it? What do they say over there?"
"Lawrence said he wanted to sell Godwin to us..." Badao Wuqing said and repeated the conversation between the two men.
Iron-blooded Wolf immediately frowned, "I feel like there's something wrong. The world announced that Adam had just fallen to the BOSS, and Godwin became the king. It would be weird to say that there is no connection between them. Do you think Godwin is setting a trap for us? He knew that we were doing a counter-attack, so he set a trap for us."
Ba Dao Wu Qing: "I think that's probably the case, but he doesn't know that we already know his plot. We can just do the opposite. How about we do this and this?"
Doomsday Blade: "Damn, Ba Dao's plan is good. I think it will work."
Golden Behemoth: "Yes, that's it."
at the same time--
Godwin asked, "How is it, did the other party agree?"
Lawrence nodded: "The other party agreed, but - it seems a little doubtful.
“Haha, of course I would suspect it. Adam is the main organizer of the fight, and he’s in trouble. The players in these tribes are not stupid. If they don’t suspect it, it would be strange if the truth is revealed.
They must be able to guess that I already know their conspiracy, so they will definitely do the opposite.
But what they didn't know was that I already knew that they knew that we knew their conspiracy.
So if they do the opposite, I will do the opposite, and then we just have to do this and that and then they will be out of luck.”
Lawrence's eyes widened, Sean was still trying to understand, but Mia looked confused. What was going on?
Murphy, who was standing aside, understood what was going on. This Godwin was really addicted to scheming. But would things really go so smoothly?
"Prince Aidan, I'm afraid this matter still requires your cooperation."
Murphy didn't refuse. After all, you were the one who was in danger. If you're not afraid, why should I be afraid? "No problem."
