Chapter 16 - Imprisoned
…………
The Alliance military camp has been busy for a few days, but there are still many things that need to be prepared. Lothar and the generals cannot rest peacefully. He has repeatedly emphasized the tribe's fighting methods and troop formations. Alleria's rangers are back.
The Horde is building ships in an attempt to bring a large army to Lordaeron.
"This is good news." Lothar said to Alleria: "At least the tribe will not attack here in the short term, and we have more time to prepare."
The female elf smiled. It was a good thing to be able to help. "It seems that my people's trip was not in vain."
"certainly."
A sentry broke in.
"You must see this, sir!" he shouted. He tried to stop himself and bowed quickly.
"What's going on, soldier?"
"Another young man wants to see you. He had a conflict with the soldiers in the camp."
"Young man, what kind of young man?" Lothar touched his chin.
"He has black hair, carries a wooden bow on his back, and his appearance is a little different from ordinary people. He claims that he has something important to tell you."
"Nathanos?" Uther blurted out, and then he and Lothar looked at each other.
"Where is he?" Lothar asked. He had some impressions of Uther's apprentice, and he also felt that there was something different about this young man.
"Just outside the camp."
Nathanos was confronting several soldiers, and the person who stopped him was none other than Gray. Originally, Nathanos wanted to sneak in, but as soon as he reached the entrance of the camp, he met his mortal enemy.
"I say it one last time, get out of the way." Nathanos' voice was low, full of warning. Gray led four guards in front of him, and he mocked triumphantly: "You think I will let you, a despicable person,
Guy go in? What qualifications do you have to see Marshal Lothar? Even if you are Uther's apprentice, you cannot violate the rules of the army. I will never let suspicious people in."
"It seems you didn't hear what I said, Gray. I've been tolerant enough to you, but even the best patience will eventually run out. I've never forgotten what you did to me."
"So what?" Gray walked towards him and whispered: "Who can prove what you said?"
"Yes, no one." Nathanos admitted this, and no one would come out to point out the fact that Gray knocked himself off the cliff. "But I just remember, Gray. I will make you pay the price, and I will take revenge myself.
"
The two men were fighting against each other. Gray heard the noise behind him. It was Lothar who was coming. He deliberately raised his voice.
"Please leave immediately, I will not hold you responsible." He said, blaming all the mistakes on Nathanos.
"What's going on?" Lothar asked loudly. Behind him were Alleria, Turalyon and others, but Nathanos looked at Uther immediately. The Paladin was wondering why he appeared.
here.
"Sir." Gray saluted Lothar. "Deputy Commander Gray of the Sixth Corps reports to you."
"I know you." Lothar said: "The adjutant of the commander of the Sixth Corps, Garisses. You just came to report today. What happened here?"
Garithus Nathanos looked at Gray, is this the name of Gray's boss?
"It's him, sir." Gray pointed at Nathanos. "I found him breaking into the military camp without permission. As far as I know, this person is not a member of the Alliance."
"You did a good job." Lothar commented, then turned to look at Nathanos. This was the fourth time they had met. "What do you want to see me for, Nathanos? These are critical times."
Nathanos was relieved to see Lothar. His only worry was that he would not be able to see Lothar himself. He saluted the supreme commander of the alliance and immediately got to the point.
"I have important military information to report, Marshal Lothar, about the tribe's movements."
"We have obtained information about the tribe, child. The ranger under this elf lady has reported to me that the tribe is building a ship, and they will not attack for a while." Lothar turned sideways and made a gesture to Alleria.
Gesture. The female elf was looking at Nathanos carefully.
"I question their investigative capabilities." Nathanos' words shocked everyone, especially Alleria. The next second, the female elf's eyes began to slowly accumulate anger.
"The vanguard of the tribe will soon land on Hillsbrad from the sea, just three days later." Nathanos affirmed, and his intelligence was completely contrary to what the elves said. Lothar asked strangely:
"How are you sure?"
"Fog, there will be heavy fog on the sea in three days. Although the ship currently owned by the tribe cannot bring all of them here, no cunning commander will let go of such an opportunity. The chief of the tribe will definitely
Send vanguard troops to occupy the beach and build positions first." Nathanos analyzed, and he was very sure that Orgrim would do this, but the question before him was whether anyone would believe him.
Alleria raised her lips slightly and said to Nathanos: "My rangers have already investigated clearly. The tribe's fleet is still being formed. It will take at least a week. If it is true as you said, the tribe's vanguard will be formed in three days.
If they rely on heavy fog to break through the sea defense line and come here, they will not be able to bring other troops here in a short time. We have enough time to attack them. Marshal Lothar, do you think the tribal chiefs have not thought of this?
?”
"Based on my understanding of Orgrim, he wouldn't have thought of it."
"So, the tribe will not come. The information provided by my ranger is very accurate." Alleria looked at Nathanos coldly. It was completely useless to give precious time to a little guy who was not yet an adult to analyze blindly.
waste time.
Nathanos slowly clenched his fists and said excitedly: "I'm right, I'm sure Orgrim will do this, and I also know that the Alliance's navy can't withstand the Horde's ships. Please.
You must believe me, Marshal Lothar."
"I know the Horde better than you do, Nathanos." Lothar pointed out this. Indeed, among the people present, only he and Khadgar had faced the orcs. His words were more convincing. "I believe Aurelie.
Orgrim will never be stupid. Although he is cunning, he will not take such risks."
"You..." Nathanos' face turned pale. He looked at Uther pleadingly, hoping that his mentor could help him defend himself. But the Paladin disappointed him.
"Trust Marshal Lothar's judgment, Nathanos." Uther felt the student's eyes. In his eyes, Nathanos was too young.
"According to military regulations, those who break into the military camp should be locked up." Gray said to Lothar. Nathanos was extremely angry. Everyone present was there, Lothar couldn't say anything, Uther and Turalyon
I hope Lothar can forgive Nathanos for his rashness, while Gray and Alleria stated that things must be done in accordance with military regulations. The female elf was dissatisfied with Nathanos' words questioning the abilities of his rangers, and she also said that Nathanos
North must have followed her ranger to make such an analysis.
"Okay, lock him up for now." Lothar said under pressure, and looked at Uther: "He has delayed us a lot of time, but I admire his courage. As long as he is willing to admit his mistake, I will let him go immediately.
Let him go and send someone to take him home."
The Paladin's expression eased, and he cast a grateful look at Lothar. At the same time, he also hoped that Nathanos could accept the punishment.
The two soldiers walked up behind Nathanos and reached out to grab Nathanos. The frustration made him forget to resist. He never expected that it would end like this.
"You will regret your decision tonight, Lothar." Nathanos looked at him weakly. "I will stay in the cage and wait for the tribe to level your camp."
"Enough, lock him up." Uther yelled. After the soldiers took Nathanos away, the Paladin bowed deeply to Lothar. "I apologize to you on behalf of Nathanos, Marshal. He is just
He's just too young, please don't embarrass him."
"Of course I won't." Lothar shook his head: "It's nothing, I just hope he can realize his mistake sooner."
"I guarantee he will."
