At this time, Medivh finally took off his hood, revealing a head of shoulder-length curly hair.
He stared at the sand table model, and then asked: "Where was the last place that was attacked?"
"Riverside farm in the fertile west." King Wrynn answered immediately.
"Where are the other places?" Medivh continued to ask: "I mean, what are the villages that were attacked before."
"Why are you asking about this?" Anduin Lothar was a little impatient: "His Majesty is asking for your suggestions on counterattack. If you don't have any ideas, I will dispatch personnel to conduct a search as soon as possible."
"Don't worry Anduin." Medivh smiled at Anduin Lothar: "I ask these things for a reason."
"What's the reason?" Anduin Lothar asked.
"He wanted to speculate on the enemy's movements and route of retreat."
Ke Wen interrupted, and while everyone was stunned, he raised his hand and waved to the sand table model.
A winding line of light rises from the sand table model, starting from the easternmost part of Elwynn Forest and spreading along the southern river bank.
The light passed through several villages and finally connected to the last village that was attacked, forming a complete route map.
"What kind of magic is this?" Khadgar couldn't help asking.
Everyone looked at each other after hearing this. Medivh spoke first and said in a calm tone: "Your thinking is too rigid, apprentice. This is just a flexible use of 'arcane energy'. It is not only through chanting spells and casting spells."
Use 'arcane energy'."
"This... thank you for your teaching, Mr. Guardian." Khadgar bowed slightly respectfully, then looked at the path beam and sighed: "Sure enough, my research on magic is still too immature, I have never heard of it."
Arcane energy can still be used in this way."
"This requires extremely high talent..." Medivh glanced at Coven and continued: "It also requires a lot of practice to be able to operate the 'arcane energy' in such a subtle and free manner."
Khadgar nodded to express his understanding.
Seeing this, Medivh stopped teaching and focused his attention again on the path created by Ke Wen.
After a brief moment of silence, Medivh asked again: "When were the villages in the western fertile fields attacked?"
King Wrynn replied: "The battle report came back three hours ago."
"Let me think about it..." Medivh murmured thoughtfully: "Let me calculate..."
"No need to waste time."
Ke Wen spoke again, stretched out his finger, and clicked on a location on the sand table model.
A point of light rose from a location near the southern main road of Elwynn Forest.
"Here?" Medivh frowned slightly: "How can you be sure?"
"It's just a simple guess based on all the information."
Ke Wen's tone was calm, and he was competing with the other party's arrogant attitude: "There is an entire army stationed in the Sentinel Ridge in the fertile wilderness in the west. From the time they noticed the thick smoke rising from the attacked village to the time they arrived at the village to confirm the attack, it took approximately
In about half an hour.”
"The village is located between the valleys. There are only two roads in the 'southeast' and 'northwest' directions for entry and exit. After the army rushed to the village from the direction of 'Sentinel Ridge', no enemy was found. Then there is only one possibility. The enemy
Instead of continuing to expand into other areas of the 'Western Fertile Wilderness', they retreated along the original route."
Everyone nodded in agreement, otherwise the Sentinel Ridge army would inevitably collide with the enemy.
Ke Wen pointed at the path of the beam he marked: "During the previous investigation, we have obtained some information about the enemy. He is tall and has a giant wolf riding underneath him."
"The information sent back from Sentinel Ridge stated that many villagers in the attacked village disappeared, so they must have been kidnapped by the enemy."
"In this case, simply estimate the speed of the giant wolf, and then factor in the factors of villagers' capture, and slow down the opponent's speed slightly..."
"Indeed." Medivh nodded and interjected: "According to your calculation method, the enemy should indeed be located in this area, but..."
Medivh turned to look at Corwen, the hostility in his eyes lessened: "The location you marked does not seem to be on the lakeshore road, but in the forest. This is different from the path the enemy has taken before. Why did you do that?
Do you think the enemy will go into the forest without any effort?"
"It seems like you have magic in your head."
Ke Wen didn't answer the question and suddenly changed the topic.
"Kevin?"
Anduin Lothar was enjoying what he heard. This sudden turn of events immediately made him very uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but remind Coven: "Let's get down to business first, shall we?"
Corwin stared at Medivh, with a little contempt in his eyes.
Then he slowly nodded, pointed to the enemy's previous route and said: "You see, the enemy attacked two villages in succession before, and the farm in the middle of the two villages was not attacked because it was closer to the river bank.
The enemy found out."
"so what?"
In order to prevent Cowen from changing the subject any further, Anduin Lothar quickly asked in a flattering tone.
"The people in the farm will definitely find out the attack status of the two villages later." Gu Yan
Ke Wen did not pause this time and said in one breath: "As civilians, people on the farm will definitely pack up their belongings, then take a shortcut through 'Elwynn Forest', rush to 'Golden Town' or come to 'Stormwind City'
Take refuge.”
"I see……"
Medivh's face was dull, but his eyes showed a hint of surprise: "According to calculations, the enemy will happen to retreat to that area, so the enemy will inevitably discover the traces left by those civilians."
"I understand too!" Anduin Lothar had an epiphany and pointed at the light spot marked by Ke Wen and said loudly: "That's it! The enemy will catch up with civilians at this location next!"
"So..." Ke Wen looked at Medivh again, his eyes continuing to look down upon him and said, "I just said that Mr. Guardian's mind is full of magic, but he lacks military talents."
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Medivh and Cowen looked at each other. After a brief moment of silence, they did not confront each other like before. Instead, they nodded calmly: "It's true that I don't think about it.
week."
After speaking, he looked at King Wrynn: "Your Majesty, just as this mage predicted, if we want to find the enemy, this location..."
Medivh pointed to the light spot created by Cowen: "This location is where we are most likely to face those enemies."
Ke Wen added: "And there is not much time left for us. According to my calculations, the enemy should appear there within two hours. If it is later, the enemy's position will have to be recalculated."
"What are you waiting for!?"
Anduin Lothar was slightly excited. He looked at King Wrynn and said, "Your Majesty! Please give the order!"
King Wrynn thought for a short moment, looked around at everyone and then nodded heavily. He said in a solemn voice to Anduin Lothar: "Okay! Anduin! Go and mobilize the troops! Corvin!"
King Wrynn looked at Ke Wen again, with a very satisfied expression: "Thank you, maybe I will sign a supplementary appointment letter for you as a military advisor later?"
Ke Wen smiled and shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, the magic consultant is enough. I will try my best to help you as long as I can."
"Thank you!" King Wrynn nodded slightly gratefully.
"So..." Anduin Lothar interjected: "Corwen, Medivh, which one of you plans to act with me?"
"I must go and see with my own eyes as soon as possible." Medivh said solemnly: "Go and see if there is really any trace of 'evil energy'."
"Okay." Anduin Lothar nodded.
"He will bring it with him too." Medivh glanced at Khadgar again: "It's rare that his apprentice also guessed the 'evil energy'. Whether it's true or not, as an encouragement, let's take him to broaden his horizons."
"Medivh?" King Wrynn glanced at Khadgar, who was stunned, and then smiled at Medivh: "Are you... planning to take this young man as your apprentice?"
Medivh raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then said softly: "Let's see how he performs."
Khadgar finally reacted at this time. He was so surprised and excited that his lips kept moving, but he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
At this time, Anduin Lothar turned to look at Cowen again: "What about you? You don't want to confirm immediately, is it specifically the 'evil energy' you mentioned?"
Kewen thought for a moment, then nodded indifferently and agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Then it's settled!"
Anduin Lothar smiled and patted Corwen on the shoulder, and then said to King Wrynn: "Your Majesty, then I will mobilize the army!"
"Don't transfer too many people." Medivh suddenly reminded: "I'm worried that if there are too many soldiers, the enemy will choose to avoid them."
Anduin Lothar thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay! As long as you and Ke Wen are here, I will only bring a hundred soldiers."
After speaking, Anduin Lothar glanced at King Wrynn, then turned and walked out of the armory.
…
Because the military situation was urgent, Anduin Lothar mobilized his troops very quickly.
He directly found the regiment commander who had just been reinstated and asked him to quickly gather thirty cavalry and seventy infantry, and prepare a metal prison car.
They met up with Ke Wen and others at the gate of the military camp, and then the team set off. After leaving the city gate, they went directly into the "Elwyn Forest".
Walking straight along the path to the area Covin mentioned, Anduin Lothar raised his hand to summon a cavalryman over.
"Kevin."
Anduin Lothar's tone was a little disappointed, but his eyes could not hide his pride and he said: "This is my son Karen. This time I finally have the opportunity to introduce you to him."
After saying that, Anduin Lothar said to Karen, who looked very immature: "Why are you still standing there, calling someone?"
"Uncle Quinn..."
"Just call me uncle." Ke Wen interrupted with a smile: "How awkward it is to add 'queen'."
"Uncle." Karen changed her words obediently: "Hello, I'm glad to finally meet you. My father often mentions the friendship between you and him."
When Anduin Lothar heard this, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction...
