Chapter 71 Historical Inflection Point
The Bloody Crusade of the Hand of Tyr was led by the Great Inquisition Ethan Leon and the Lord of Tyr Wademar. In fact, the original policies of the Bloody Crusade were the same as those of the Silver Northern Expedition Army, and they were also willing to accept the Plagueland, any race and individual who resisted the Scourge.
However, when the leader of the Blood Crusade, the Great Lord Moglani, after Stantosom was assassinated by the traitors, the other leaders of the Blood Crusade changed their minds. Their thoughts became extremely extreme and they began to exclude other races except humans in the territory, including the Great Inquisition Ethan Leon as the main representative.
After the arrival of this part of the Blood Crusaders in Tyr's Hand, their troops had reached 12,000. The Grand Inquisition Ethan Leon strongly asked General Abidis to attack Stantosom to cleanse all the undeads of Stantosom, avenge the Great Lord Moglani, revive the Blood Crusaders and restore their former reputation.
As a result, the internal parts of the Blood Crusade became two factions. One was led by Tyran Fordine and Bridget, and suggested that the mountain passage be continued to be blocked. The other faction, led by the Grand Inquisitor Ethan Leon, demanded an attack on Stantamsom. General Abidis and Lord Tyr Wademar were neutral and in a dilemma.
In the end, the reputation of the Grand Inquisition Ethan Leon overwhelmed the opinions of Tyran Fordin and Bridget. General Abidis decided to give up the mountain passage and attack Stantolme. However, at this time, it was too late for the Blood Crusade to attack Stantolme again. The Scourge of Artsas had already left Silvermoon City, turned south, and was rushing towards Stantolme's mountain passage.
Just as the Blood Crusades were scattered throughout the city of Stantam and sweeping away the remaining souls, the Scourge Legion appeared behind them. The Blood Crusades scattered in the streets and alleys of Stantam and had no time to form a complete legion formation, and fell like straw under the iron hooves of the Scourge Legion. In a flash, the battle situation completely reversed and turned into a massacre.
In order to cover his daughter Bridget, General Abidis died bravely. The Great Judge Ethan Leon was killed by the resurrected Great Lich Kel Thujad. Losing two soul figures, the Blood Crusader finally completely lost the will to resist.
However, because of the death of Abidis and Ethan Leon, Tyran Fordine, Bridget and Tyr lord Wademar led some of the Blood Crusades to escape from the battlefield. So far, more than half of the Blood Crusades of 12,000 people lost, and only more than 5,000 people were left to escape.
Captain Brandon, stationed on the other side of the mountain range, obtained the news through the Horned Eagle Scouts, and led 4,000 Silver Northern Expedition Army in shock immediately responded to Tailan and others to the west. The remaining Blood Crusaders received assistance from the Silver Northern Expedition Army and finally stopped the defeat, relying on the mountains to fight and retreat.
However, the Stantom, the Zumashar Mountains front, which was originally the most favorable to the Scourge, has been almost successfully broken by Artsas and Kel Thujad, and the Scourge is about to return to the Plagueland.
On the other hand, although the defense line could no longer be maintained, the Blood Crusaders and the Silver Northern Expedition Army could not immediately withdraw from the Holy Light Wish Chapel and the Hand of Tyr. They also had to be wary of the Scourge's Legion's pursuit.
In fact, this incident belongs to the butterfly effect of the Reincarnation, and Azeroth's history once again created a turning point on its original track. In the original history without the Reincarnation, there was no such blocking incident of the Blood Crusader and the Silver Northern Expedition Army.
General Abidis died in the defensive battle of Fireplace Valley. After Abidis's death, Tyran Fordine tried to escape from the Blood Crusade under the persuasion of his father Tyrio Fordine. However, Ethan Leon slandered Tyran as a member of the undead for the sake of Fireplace Valley territory and secretly killed him.
However, after Ethan Leon killed Tyran Fordine, he was then single-handedly killed by Tyrio Fordine, who had exploded in the small universe, and cut off his head on the spot in the Bloody Cathedral.
Here, Abidis and Ethan Leon died in advance under the butcher knife of the Scourge, but Tyran Fordine did not die. Bridget was influenced by Xu Mo and no longer had the extreme ideas in history. For the Blood Crusaders, this defeat was really not good or bad. The only thing that can be foreseeable is that the fate of the Blood Crusaders was changed.
In addition to the Blood Crusade, the fate of another race was also affected, that is, the High Elves. In the original history, Quelthalas was destroyed by the Scourge, and the surviving High Elves were rejected by the Alliance. Under the leadership of the surviving Silver Moon City nobles, some went to the Junnuo world, and the other part defected to the tribe, claiming to be the Blood Elves, and began to form a hostile relationship with the Alliance.
(Horse: The new beast tribe led by Thrall, a tribal force formed by the jungle trolls, taurens, Forgotten and Blood Elves. Forgotten: The undead liberated from the power of the Lich King, the leader is the banshee king - Sylvanas.)
Now, Silver Moon City is as destruction as history has been, a small number of elves and remaining elves nobles have hid in the depths of the forest. Most of the other elves, with the help of the alliance forces, are gradually fleeing Quelthalas, and starting to rebuild their homes in the rift of death and the poisonous woodland.
Soon, when the surviving Silver Moon nobles walked out of the forest, they would find that the elves and civilians had formed new forces. They had lost the people and had no basis for their rule again. Do they want to integrate into this new family like ordinary elves, and do they want to betray their relatives and relatives.
Of course, if the Sun Well is lost, the high elves will face many problems, but whether the blood elves that originally belonged to tribal forces in history will still appear has become a unsolved case that no one can answer.
"This is the general situation!" After Amyra finished telling the situation on the battlefield, she spread her hands and began to concentrate on dealing with the food in front of her.
"Captain Cole, what do you think?" Baron Tyrosos pondered for a while, and threw the problem to Xu Mo first.
Xu Mo looked up at the one-eyed dragon and said silently. With his wisdom, he knew the thoughts in Baron Terosos's mind as if he had seen the patterns on his palm. As the military leader of the chapel, Baron Terosos would have asked for the opinion of a mercenary leader if he had not been forced to do so.
But the situation is different now. The elf advance team is already quite powerful. In addition, the three elf elders are still forming a second armed force based on the advance team's model. At the same time, the Wild Hammer Dwarf King is still in charge of Eagle Nest Fort, and the Wild Hammer Griffon Knights who are currently on the expedition are led by Amyra.
The dwarf girl obviously mainly takes Xu Mo's opinion and will not listen to Baron Tyrosos. In addition, the red dragons on the battlefield will also obey the command of the Old K Mercenary Group. In fact, this is natural. Without these people from the Old K Mercenary Group, the Red Dragons are still enslaved by the Dragon Throat Clan.
"Amyra, tell me about your encounter with Sylvanas again!" To the Baron's surprise, Xu Mo did not seem to care about the hard-working Blood Crusaders and the Silver Northern Expedition Army. Instead, he was extremely concerned about the details of Amyra's actions to lead the Griffon Knights to rescue the Elf Village.
"So, in the later stage of the rescue, you received the focus of the Scourge Corps and encountered elite Scourge Corps many times?" Xu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally spoke to Tyrosos, "Baron, I know you need to concentrate all your strength to rescue those two armies. However, please let me discuss it with them alone, and please send someone to invite the three elves elders!"
Baron Tyrosus left helplessly, leaving Xu Mo and others behind. After a while, the three elves elders, Selna and others also entered the military tent. When Xu Mo was about to speak, the tent was pulled open again, and a thin face appeared in front of everyone.
"Wenressa, you should lie on the bed and have a good rest!" Xu Mo held the elf blamely and let her sit beside her.
"Kor, I'm fine! I'm also a member of the old K mercenary group. How can you miss me when you have a meeting?" A smile appeared on the pale little face of the elf, half leaned on Xu Mo's shoulder, and sat down with his back.
"How many elves and civilians have gathered in the Death Rift now? How is the cleaning of the poisonous forest land going? Have all the rescue materials arrived?" Xu Mo asked the three elves and elders lightly.
"There are about ten thousand people who have arrived. According to the dwarf warriors who have returned, there are about tens of thousands of elves refugees on their way. In addition, there are still 10,000 or 20,000 elves civilians waiting for the rescue of the griffin knight and the red dragon.
As for material aspects, Eagle Nest Fort sent a large number of weapons, Dalaran gave a lot of food and magic props. Rapids Fort, Fireplace Valley and Tyr's Hand also supported some food and weapons, enough for us to use!" Yaronis Sun Chaser calculated and replied.
"We planted many home trees and fruit trees in the village below the death rift. A small piece of the poisonous woodland has been cleared. There are about 500 people in the elves advance team, and we are still forming a second team. In addition, mines and logging farms can be put into use!" A rare smile appeared on Herion Yinguang's face.
"Captain Cole, we have heard of the battle situation ahead. Do you think we can head north with the Silver Northern Expedition Army now? Maybe this will be our chance to regain Quel'thalas!" Salina Mingyi said with a little excitement.
Xu Mo glanced at the three elves coldly and felt the eager desire to restore the country in his heart, "Do you all want to go north with the Silver Northern Expedition Army?"
"This...if you agree..." Looking at the bad expression on Xu Mo's face, Yaronis replied with a tough bullet.
"Even if the Scourge Legion left Quelthalas, there were still a large number of undead creatures left there. After paying the lives of thousands of elves civilians, a small piece of poisonous forest was cleared, allowing the elves advance team to form the combat power of hundreds of people." Xu Mo sighed and said slowly.
"If you can't wait to enter Quel'thalas now, once you lose the elf advance team, how will the tens of thousands of elves here and tens of thousands of elves civilians coming from later become a foothold in the poisonous woodland! Once you have the chance to return to Quel'thalas in the future, what do you want to rely on to clean up the undead creatures there and re-establish the country!"
Xu Mo's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the heat in the hearts of the three elves elders, making them bow their heads involuntarily. The female elder Salina Mingyi couldn't help sobbing in a low voice. It was not that they didn't understand this truth, but the pain of losing their homes was always invading their hearts and making them unbearable.
"You must be patient. Your biggest task at present is to clear the poisonous woodland. I promise you that when the second elves are armed, I will give you a chance to return to Quelthalas!" Xu Mo's next words lit up the eyes of the three elves elders.
"Really?" Yaronis, the oldest, raised his head happily.
"Really!" Xu Mo looked helplessly at these elf elders who were so old that they were like children in front of him, and then gently patted Wen Lesa who was leaning against him, "However, you must hand over the leadership of the elf advance team to her, the elf ranger - Wen Lesa Windrunner!"
(Tirio Fordine was one of the five first paladins of the Silver Hand. I personally believe that in terms of strength, this old guy is the strongest human paladin of the monster, no one. After Arthas merged with the Lich King Neozu, he can be said to be the most powerful humanoid individual in history except for the Titan God. As a result, he was very awesome and chopped over with a sword, and then... and then there was nothing. The author often suspects that this old guy should not be a paladin, but a Saint Seiya traveled into Azeroth, otherwise how could the small universe explode at any time, and even Arthas couldn't cover it.)
