Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid

Since the first year of the Dark Portal, Li De has participated in more than ten battles with orcs, big and small. He is definitely better at understanding orcs than Daelin.

"The basic combat unit of the orcs is a hundred-man army, led by a centurion; on top of this, five centurions are commanded by one commander; five commanders are an overseer.

An Overseer leads an army of 2,500 people, which is also the largest combat unit of a single arm of the orcs, and has quite autonomous command power.

Further up the Overseer is the clan of the Orcs. Ordinary clans usually have five warlords. There are more powerful clans like the Blackrock clan.

The orc clan has long been independent, and even has a long history of frequent conflicts between clans. It was the warlock Gul'dan who assisted the Black Hand and united the various clans to establish the tribe, which has not been more than ten years ago.

This primitive form of social organization is doomed to their lack of experience in the battle of large corps. Since the Second Orc War, Orgrim, who succeeded the Black Hand, has frequently made tricks, which also has a certain relationship.

During the First Orc War, the Orc troops exposed this weakness. They are often extremely flexible and difficult to deal with when small groups of troops are interspersed and attacked.

But once they fight a regiment-level battle on the open plain, the orcs will suffer a lot.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the assassination of King Ryan, which greatly damaged our morale, we would never have lost so fast, so miserable..."

Speaking of this, Li De can't help but think of the great changes that have occurred to him in less than two years, and it really feels like a world away.

Dailin agreed with Li De's words. Regarding the pros and cons of the orc army, Lothar had said something similar at the meeting of the Seven Nations Alliance. It was just information about the tribe's history, but Daelin sounded a little strange.

"Then what do you mean?"

Li De put away his distraction, and simply spoke through.

"Although I haven't seen the kill data, I believe that a considerable number of orcs must have been defeated and retreated into the wild. I have just said that orcs are better at small-scale combat, which means that scattered orcs may be more difficult to deal with. If it is handled properly, it is very likely that the kingdom will be plunged into an endless security war in the future."

After listening to Li De's words, Dai Lin's expression became serious.

Such a view is not unreasonable. If it really evolves into such a situation, there will be continuous security incidents after the war. Although the actual loss may not be too great, it will inevitably cause everyone to be in danger.

In such an environment, neither production nor investment is destined to have too much enthusiasm. The final result will be that the kingdoms will be weak for a long time, and it will not benefit anyone except for a group of speculators and smugglers.

"I understand, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. After the rest, we will immediately meet Terenas north to discuss the post-war disposition."

Dai Lin thought for a while and made a decision, but at this moment Li De shook his head.

"No, you accompany everyone from Zandalar to the north. I plan to take the team south to see Marshal Lothar."

Li De's intentions puzzled everyone, but before everyone could ask questions, Li De explained.

"As I said just now, small orcs tend to have stronger fighting power. We still don't know what kind of crazy actions Orgrim will make.

Everyone in Zandalar will accompany you to continue your journey north. Regarding the Amani trolls, they will try their best to mediate. As a soldier of Stormwind Kingdom, since I have returned to the battlefield, I should return to the commander's command. "

Dai Lin is also a soldier, Li De's words resonated with him, and he immediately made a promise.

"Thank you for your trust. I and everyone in Zandalar are waiting for you and Marshal Lothar to triumph in Lordaeron."

After speaking, Daelin looked at Kurdran.

Although this Wildhammer leader is simple, his mind is still very fast, and he immediately understood what Daelin meant.

"I personally led the team and informed Lothar of the situation here and about Li De."

The Griffin troop must fly much faster than traveling by land and water. If they send information first, it will naturally save a lot of trouble.

This action was actually Li De's temporary intention, because Orgrim's defeat in Lordaeron was too fast, which caused part of Li De's plan to be disrupted.

In subsequent plans, Lothar was a key figure.

Lothar is far more than an excellent commander. As the leader of the previous generation, he has a high prestige among the human race. At the same time, as the last bloodline of Emperor Thoradin, Lothar also has a certain reputation among the high elves. status.

Azeroth is still in the era of identity politics and bloodline politics. Li De is helpless, but he must recognize the reality. Only by recognizing the reality can we better transform the reality.

After returning to their ship, Talanji and Lal were a little dissatisfied with Li De's temporary intentions.

At present, Li De seems to trust Dai Lin. But they still had some concerns about Daelin, they were worried that Daelin would not be able to help them get in touch with Terenas.

If there is no cooperation with this alliance leader, then all the plans of the Zandalar will be in vain.

Li De motioned for the two of them to stay calm, and he would leave his deputy Niebuhr and Brad to assist them. This is also for the convenience of commanding the troops. Zul'Farrak's troops are now called the Zandalar Army. If there is no military and political commander Brad, I am afraid they will be difficult to obey.

And Li De also wrote a letter that Brad took with him. This letter was written to Prince Varian of Stormwind Kingdom.

Of course, this is only in name. The future wise monarch is still only a young prince. Whether he can influence Terenas is still in the middle.

Li De really hoped that the letter would be seen by Archbishop Alonzos Fao.

When the Kingdom of Stormwind was at its most dangerous, it was Lothar and Fao who led everyone to evacuate and played an active role in the alliance of Lordaeron later.

At the same time, the archbishop was also the teacher of the five paladins, and it was he who bestowed the power of the holy light on the first group of paladins. This virtuous old man has a pivotal position in the league. Li De bluntly stated in this letter that as long as Bishop Fao saw this letter, he would definitely make the right choice.

Talanji and Lal saw that Li De had indeed made proper arrangements, so they no longer objected. At this moment, a ship of the Third Fleet came over.

It turned out that Daelin sent a team of people to guide Li De. To everyone's surprise, Daelin's son Derek was on the list!

Derek is not yet twenty years old this year, but he is strong and has a golden beard, and it is well groomed. It can be seen that this is a very motivated young man.

"I saw my father just now, and he asked me to express my gratitude to you in person. I agree with my father's point of view and thank you for saving my life."

Derek thanked Li De very seriously. Looking back on the scene of facing the giant dragon just now, he still has lingering fears, so he has even more respect for Li De who was able to subdue the giant dragon.

Li De said with a smile that he was not polite, how could he not feel why Dai Lin did this? He quickly called the lieutenant colonel who was in charge of the handover aside and said to him in a low voice.

"Please tell Marshal Daelin when you go back. I will keep his sincerity in my heart, and I promise not to put Major Derek in any danger."

Seeing that Li De could understand Dai Lin's intentions, the lieutenant colonel was satisfied and returned to give orders. Asking Derek to follow Li De not only expressed Dai Lin's importance to this cooperation, but also out of consideration for his son's safety.

After seeing the previous battle with his own eyes, to be honest, Daelin even felt that it would be more secure to have Derek by Li De's side.

An hour later, the battlefield was completely cleaned up. As for the captives of the Horde, Daelin decided to bring them back to Lordaeron and imprison them first.

Then a large number of sand troll soldiers were transferred from Dinghai to other ships, leaving only 100 troops directly under Li De and 300 sand troll soldiers.

But in Daelin's eyes, it was a different scene. What he saw was that Zandalar actually handed over "his own troops" to Li De's command!

"Your country seems to value Lord Li De very much?"

Talanji heard the temptation in Daelin's words and said it without a trace.

"That's right, Your Excellency Li De is very talented and wise. My father also appreciates him very much, and recognizes him as a friend of Zandalar, and it is in Zandalar's interest to cooperate with him."

Daelin was surprised when he said this. Kul Tiras is a maritime civilization, and he also knows the situation of Zandalar. He knows that unlike other trolls, they are noble and proud.

After the formation of the team was completed, Daelin's fleet headed north. What made him a little unclear was that the Dinghai was actually on the same road as them, and was also heading north. Fortunately, Talanji was on the boat and answered Daelin's doubts.

At the same time, Derek on the Dinghai also raised the same question.

"Sir, we should sail south. You are on the same road as my father."

"That's right, before going south, I have to go to Tidefall Island, where there are a few friends waiting for me to meet."

Li De explained with a smile that he had not forgotten that he still had an agreement with the red dragons.
