Volume 3: Tides of Darkness Chapter 203 Youth and Gold Coins
Leonardo took out a small magic map and explained to Varian the tactical arrangements for this battle.
"Dagger Ridge is a mountainous area in the southern part of the Western Wilds. There is a canyon between two mountain ranges, which is very suitable for ambush. We only need to lure the enemy into the canyon and block both ends, and the enemy inside will have no way to escape.
Send archers and infantry to the hills on both sides to attack from above. The enemy is all cavalry, so no matter how many there are, it will be useless. "
Varian looked at Dagger Ridge on the map and shook his head. "The orcs may not be very smart, but how could they get into such an obvious trap?"
Da Vinci laughed, "Haha, we naturally have a way. These 30,000 orcs are the elite of the tribe. Even the most powerful clan of the orcs cannot provide these 30,000 cavalry alone. In fact, these 30,000 cavalry are composed of three different clans.
Among them were 12,000 Warsong Wolf Riders of the Warsong Clan, 13,000 Dark Wolf Riders of the Blackrock Clan, and 5,000 Hellboar Riders of the Tyrant Clan.
The key here lies in the Badao clan.
The Ba Dao Clan is a small orc clan that has just joined the tribe. These 5,000 cavalrymen are the entire fighting force of this clan, and the leader of this clan is Ba Dao Wu Qing, whom we happen to know. "
"Do you know the orc chieftain?" When everyone heard this, the players did not take it seriously, but the characters in the plot showed surprised expressions, especially Varian. It was really shocking that Da Vinci could actually tell the composition of the tribe's military forces and knew the orc clan chieftain.
Muradin Bronzebeard (The Hill King): "You are not trying to trick us, are you, boy?"
Varian also looked at Da Vinci inquiringly.
Da Vinci didn't care at all. "We just have a wide range of friends. This orc chieftain named Ba Dao Wu Qing is relatively easy to communicate with. As long as we pay enough, we can bribe him. Our studio has already sent people and is negotiating the price with him.
As long as the price is agreed, and with Tyrant Blade as an insider, we can lure the orc cavalry into Dagger Ridge and annihilate them."
Varian's face sank. "How can I trust you?"
Da Vinci was somewhat helpless. "Prince Varian, you are still trying to trick me at this point. I have already told you that we are professionals. As long as you pay us, we will definitely get the job done for you."
at the same time--
"You want me to betray the tribe? Are you kidding me? I've been a veteran player of the tribe for 30 years. I've been playing World of Warcraft since 2004, and I've spent more than two million in the game to become the chief of the tribe. Tell me clearly today what you are up to, or I'll catch you and make soup out of you."
Badao Wuqing looked at the parrot beside him with an angry look on his face, as if he had been insulted.
The parrot stretched its wings. "Ha, don't be so excited. Ha, we are all adults. Just talk about glory and passion. Ha, ha, you are not really taking this seriously. Games are meant to be played for fun. Of course, I won't let you work for nothing. One hundred thousand gold coins is the price."
One hundred thousand gold coins is one million RMB, which is definitely not a small amount.
Ba Dao Wu Qing was furious, "You want me to sell out the tribe for just 100,000 gold coins? What a joke."
The parrot rolled its eyes and found the key point in this sentence, "Huh, so it's not that you can't sell out the tribe, but the money is not enough?"
This made Badao Wuqing slightly embarrassed. "Hehe, of course, everything in this world has a price tag. We are all adults, so I don't need to explain this. But the tribe is my youth after all, so just giving money won't do. I am worth tens of millions after all. How about this, 100,000 gold coins, and Bloody Roar will be mine after the deal is done."
"Gah, no problem, gah."
The scene changed and returned to the hall——
"Hmm, hmm, what did he say, one hundred thousand gold coins? And Bloodroar, um, not a big problem, there are not many of us who use axes, okay, let me ask everyone."
Da Vinci closed the private chat and looked at everyone.
"Ba Dao Wuqing asked for 100,000 gold coins, and also wanted Hellscream's Blood Roar, and he also wanted to ensure that his troops would not be attacked. Prince Varian, what do you say?"
Naturally, these 100,000 gold coins cannot be paid by the studio and should be considered as additional expenses.
Varian nodded. "One hundred thousand gold coins is not a problem. If we can annihilate thirty thousand cavalrymen of the tribe, a mere one hundred thousand gold coins is definitely worth it."
"It's not thirty thousand, it's twenty-five thousand, and the five thousand Hell Hog Knights are not included."
"Okay, 25,000 is enough. If the orc chieftain is willing to cooperate, we will naturally not attack his troops. Our alliance is honor-oriented. I can guarantee it with honor, but what is Blood Roar?"
"A weapon, a legendary axe, the weapon of Hellscream of the Warsong clan."
"No problem, it's just a weapon."
Just as Da Vinci expected, Varian didn't care about Bloodroar at all, but a few players felt sorry after hearing that, because that was Bloodroar.
Historically, the legendary weapons of Cenarius and Mannoroth were cut off, but considering the current situation, they have no right to question it.
There was some discussion on the details and the plan was soon finalized.
Da Vinci said, "According to the tribe's speed, they will arrive tomorrow. We must set off an ambush now and establish a preset position."
Muradin could not help but question: "Boy, those orcs may not be very smart, but we have to admit that they are quite brute force when fighting. If 25,000 wolf riders charge at full force, I'm afraid the militia outside the castle will not be able to stop them."
Da Vinci smiled slightly and said, "Leave it to me. I will find a way."
"How many gold coins will you need this time?"
Da Vinci (Great Architect): "Gold coins are not needed, but the kingdom must provide me with a batch of building materials, and all farmers and construction workers with construction skills must be assigned to me under my command."
Varian nodded. "No problem. The Stonemasons Guild from the Westfall is here too. Their people are good at construction. In addition, I have also found several powerful warriors to deal with Hellscream."
Just as he finished speaking, the door to the memory hall suddenly opened and several player heroes walked in.
When Varian saw the people walking in, his eyes immediately lit up. He looked at the heroes in front of him and nodded happily.
"Everyone, let me introduce them to you. They are all warriors who fought alongside me during the first Dark Portal , as well as their descendants."
