Chapter 277 Emergency Military Affairs
Lorraine had been striving to gain more honor and become a hero revered by all. He had even considered using his necromancy to summon a large army to quickly accumulate honor, but that feeling seemed unrelated to honor; it would be a good thing for Undercity, though.
He wanted to earn true respect through his own strength and courage.
The abilities of necromancers are taboo, and they are not welcomed even in the undead city of Undercity, let alone other forces that fear the Lich King and the undead plague. The master always advised his apprentice to conceal his identity and abilities as a necromancer as much as possible.
This time, when Marcus saw it, it almost caused an unpleasant incident.
To be precise, it has created a rift between the two. They can no longer be as equal and pleasant as when they first met, and who knows if they will still be fighting each other the next time they meet... The Alliance and the Horde are enemies, and this is not a situation that an individual can change. The two sides have various interests and territorial conflicts.
Almost irreconcilable differences exist; everyone is striving for victory, and the lines of morality are blurred in a war of opposing forces.
To preach morality to the enemy is, strictly speaking, foolish.
Only when circumstances are unfavorable will people feign compliance, upholding moral obligations while secretly seeking an opportunity to strike decisively. Therefore, war cannot be approached with womanly compassion or with a self-imposed constraint based on so-called justice; such tactics are merely psychological warfare and propaganda strategies.
Because in the past, those of high moral character and prestige were more respected; this was a tradition...
But in Azeroth, on contested lands and in the great battlefields, honor is merit, merit is heads, heads are lives, lives are lives, lives are lives, every inch of land is fought for, cities are conquered, battles are fought, and enemy forces are destroyed.
Lorraine wasn't a warmonger; the teacher claimed to be gentle and refined, but in reality, he would lose his temper just like everyone else on the Alterac battlefield... There's no way around it, Horde players always have a tiger inside them, otherwise they wouldn't have chosen to join the wild, primitive, and bizarre faction.
......
In the tribal military ranks, General, Warlord, and High Warlord directly correspond to the Alliance's Level 12 Commander, Level 13 Marshal, and Level 14 Grand Marshal, all of whom are top-tier officers.
Level 11 is Commander, Level 10 is Major, and Level 9 is Guardian Knight, all of whom are high-ranking officers.
Level 8 Knight Captain, Level 7 Knight Lieutenant, Level 6 Knight Mid-Rank Officer.
The remaining Alliance Level 5 Sergeant Majors are roughly equivalent to Lorraine's Level 5 First Sergeant Major in the Horde. In reality, they are still considered combat soldiers and are not considered high-ranking. They can barely be regarded as leaders in front of ordinary soldiers. Lorraine showed great respect to the Forsaken Lieutenant General.
The teacher said that any undead warrior wielding a pig's head hammer must be a veteran of countless battles.
As the Frostwolf quartermaster, it wouldn't be easy for Yerik to get himself a pig's head hammer.
That's not the point. The point is that Yerik saw Lorraine give a standard Forsaken salute, and he returned the salute at attention. The two exchanged greetings in a tacit manner, and Lorraine quickly introduced himself, "Lorraine, First Sergeant Major, Plaguebringer, Gravekeeper, of the Horde Combat Forces, reporting for duty."
When Lorraine bowed, her hands were already empty.
Eileen, whom he had been holding, was suddenly thrown to the ground, where she was hit so hard she saw stars.
Quartermaster Yerik and the goblin merchant Jacob were stunned for a moment, only to hear Irene on the ground whimper, "Ouch... Ah-gu... Ah-shi-ba... xxx!"
The sound was very soft, as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
It seems he couldn't help but break down!
......
Notice that both the goblin and the officer are looking at the beautiful human woman on the ground.
Lorraine quickly introduced, "This is Miss Eileen, my assistant. She is a disciple of Ms. Erwin, the president of the Undead Research Association. She was seriously injured in battle and urgently needs treatment. I need your help, sir."
Upon hearing three resounding names, Yerik looked up in surprise, glancing at Lorraine and the human woman on the ground.
"Plague messenger, Eileen! Lorraine!"
After the initial surprise, the quartermaster didn't hesitate and immediately turned around and shouted, "Medics, come out!"
The lieutenant general gave the order, and several men emerged from the den, quickly lifted Eileen onto a stretcher, and sent her to the base.
Lorraine looked at Eileen as she walked away with some concern, as if he had some reservations.
"Sir, Miss Eileen is a special Forsaken...she..."
“It’s alright, Lorraine. I know what you’re thinking. I’ll arrange for Miss Eileen to be treated and then sent back to Undercity. Her Majesty the Queen has ordered a search for the whereabouts of Lady Elwin’s two beloved students… We will handle it properly. As for you, Plague Messenger, I’ve heard so much about you. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Yerik has some stray hairs on his head. The undead can generally be identified by their age before death, and after resurrection, they retain some of their features from their previous life. For example, some children who died young and were infected will still appear as children when resurrected as Forsaken, and their strength will not be very great.
Yerik appears to be a rather tall undead warrior. The fact that he was able to become a lieutenant general and be solely responsible for the logistics of the entire Frostwolf Legion shows that he is no ordinary person.
Although it sounds like a quartermaster is in charge of logistics, just like the first tauren we met in Undercity, Gamor, who was also a quartermaster in charge of the airship transport line from Orgrimmar to Undercity.
In terms of rank, Jerik is a general, while Gamor is a stone guard, equivalent to a knight, which is just enough to be considered an officer.
Gamor is no match for Yerik. The Frostwolf Clan is the maternal clan of Warchief Thrall, and Yerik's dispatch by Undercity naturally stems from their trust in his abilities and strength. Yerik is also very interested in Lorraine. He had already carefully reviewed the recent military reports, and the name of the Plaguebringer Lorraine appeared frequently, with the Queen praising him several times and calling on the Forsaken to learn from him...
The last person to be so highly regarded was the Withered One, who had always been ambivalent towards the Queen.
Lorraine seems to be the Queen's new favorite...
His rank also rose rapidly, effectively advancing another level. After the Battle of Dalaran, the Queen appointed him as a Level 6 Honorary Officer, [Stone Guardian], and a reserve Legion soldier of the Forsaken and Corrupted Legion... Further meritorious service would allow him to officially become a Level 8 Honorary [Legion Soldier], skipping the Blood Guardian rank.
Lorraine was unaware that his reputation had spread throughout the Forsaken, though he wasn't particularly well-known among the Horde's orc allies.
In the Dalaran Alliance and among the Stormpike Dwarves, the name of Plaguebringer Lorraine was listed as a key target.
Lorraine had barely emerged from the lakeside when he was surrounded and annihilated; their target was none other than Lorraine, the plague messenger.
They attempted to eliminate the talent the Dark Queen had her eye on.
Of course, this news was leaked by the escaped Master Yuvel. Highlord Tyrande and Fordring also relayed Lorraine's identity and all information back to the Scarlet Crusade headquarters. Hearthglen and Tyr's Hand received the intelligence, and the Scarlet Crusade gained another target that had to be eliminated: Lorraine, the Plaguebringer.
Tyrande Fordring even received a reply from Scarlet Monastery Commander Renault and Mograine, detailing Lorraine's crimes, from the watchtower to the murder of Scarlet Inquisitor Veshas, all of which were attributed to Lorraine.
If the enemy hates her to the bone and wants to get rid of her as soon as possible, then it means that Lorraine is really outstanding.
Yerik & Frandi patted Lorraine on the shoulder with delight. "Carlos told me about you. You were a great help, little guy. Oh, no, we should say our Plague Messenger."
"You are no longer a First Sergeant Major! Your appointment letter will be officially issued once you return to Undercity. Lorraine, you are now officially a Stone Guardian of the Horde and must shoulder greater responsibilities."
“You’ve come at just the right time. The Alliance’s offensive is fierce, and our men have suffered heavy losses. General Drek’Thar is very determined; he is unwilling to give up any land belonging to the Frostwolf Clan.”
Upon hearing Drek'Thar's name, Lorraine became excited and quickly said that he wanted to see the old Frostwolf General!
Jerik shook his head. "He doesn't have time to see you; the war is at a critical juncture. If it weren't for the stretched lines and shortages of supplies, I wouldn't be wasting my time here. But not everyone needs to be on the front lines. You have more important things to do for the Queen..."
"Sir, I have urgent military business to report."
"Do we really have to trouble the old general? I am Lieutenant General Yerik & Frandi, in full charge of the transport route from Undercity Tarren Mill to Arathi Highlands. As for the Frostwolf Legion's rear military affairs, besides myself, only clan officer Grandar & Wolfheart are in charge of defense and logistics."
