Chapter 90: Famous Teachers Make High Apprentices
On a normal day, perhaps someone would have blamed Bolval for making such a bloody scene. Now no one is silent, because the kingdom is in a state of war.
Compared to the fact that most nobles didn't know anything about orcs before, now nobles have the most simple and straightforward understanding of the strength of orcs.
They began to understand why the vast territory of the kingdom had fallen in large swaths in the blink of an eye. They began to understand why the elite legions they had trained were so vulnerable.
This is obviously because of the different races, humans and orcs have an innate difference in combat power.
While the servants cleaned up the scene, the nobles were whispering in small circles. And King Lane was also asking for the opinions of his important ministers.
"You're saying it often takes three elite warriors to replace an orc?" Ryan was unabashedly surprised, "I thought the report was exaggerated. ”
A duke interjected and asked, "In that case, how can you fight?"
"It's really impossible to fight, if it were just hand-to-hand combat, twenty peasant soldiers who temporarily took up arms would not be an orc opponent. Lothar added with trepidation: "If it weren't for the spells and strategies of that mysterious archmage 'Hundred Hands Reaper' this time, it would be the biggest fiasco since the founding of the Stormwind Kingdom." ”
"'Hundred-handed Death Plus'?" the report you sent back earlier mentions that he appears to be the teacher of Duke Marcus. How strong is he, exactly?" Ryan was a little delighted, but also a little puzzled.
"I don't see it. However, he can push back a siege of thousands of orcs, and also kill the opponent's evil spellcaster and capture the opponent's staff in front of the battle. I think he should be strong, but only the master has a say. ”
Lothar asked the squire to hand the orc sorcerer's staff, wrapped in a charm, to the court mage beside Ryan.
The old mage took a closer look and pondered for a moment: "Even the old man, I am not sure that I can kill this staff master in a one-on-one situation. Not to mention facing the entire orc army on your own. Don't dare to say anything else, at least the former owner of this staff has at least the same strength as our Sky Mage Peak. However, with such a strange evil force, the strength of this orc should be no less than that of the Morning Star Mage in actual combat. ”
Ryan, Berval, Anduin, and the others all had their hearts pounding.
Wouldn't it be at least the Radiant Moon Mage who could easily kill the Morning Star Mage?
You must know that in the entire world of Azeroth, the number of powerful mages is very rare. Naturally, the strongest is the Guardian Medivan.
There are only two Sunrise mages who are generally recognized by the world under Medivan: Master Antonidas of Dalaran, and Anastrian, the Sun King of the High Elves of Quel'Thalas.
Although the Radiant Moon Mage is not small, it adds up to about ten at most, and most of them are members of the Council of Tiris. Unfortunately, there isn't a single Radiant Moon mage here in the Storm Kingdom.
The presence of a mage who is likely to be Huiyue is enough to make people tremble, and he is also a master tactician?
Now that they suddenly heard that Duke had such a bunker teacher, before they knew it, Lane had a much higher opinion of Duke.
It turns out that it is still a famous teacher and a high apprentice!
No one would have thought that Duke would play such a hand, the teacher is him, and the disciple is also him. I can only think that Duke is so awesome and coaxed to break into the name of 'Sea King', it turns out that there is still a master behind him.
King Ryan asked tentatively, "Lothar said that the 'Lord Rich' has the mage mark of the Royal Mage Regiment......"
The old court mage shook his head: "The emblem of the Wang family mage group is just a means to simply distinguish the identities of friend and foe. For powerful mages, this ordinary arcane emblem is easy to imitate. This doesn't prove anything. ”
Ryan was obviously a little disappointed, at the moment of losing Medivan, he suddenly heard that the other party also had a mysterious and powerful spellcaster, and the need for mages made Ryan instinctively yearn for a more powerful mage backer.
It's a pity.
The servant cleared the chamber, and the hall was again plunged into a quarrel between emotion and reason.
In fact, everyone knows that it is impossible to win with just one Storm Kingdom. According to preliminary estimates, the number of orc armies will not be less than 100,000. According to the battle loss ratio of one to three, even if all the adult men in the Stormwind Kingdom are counted as elites, it is not enough to die.
But it is also impossible to give up the territory of the Elwyn Forest like this.
As the core of the entire kingdom, the Elwyn Forest is home to more than seventy percent of the Stormwind Citizens. If all the citizens were to be evacuated to Stormwind City, the food problem alone would make Ryan gray-haired.
"The only good thing is that we have opened up sea routes. Food from the Wild West can now be transported to Stormwind by sea, supporting Stormwind's food deficit for a short time. Bolval didn't say that it was okay, but when he said it, Ryan couldn't help but think of Duke's goodness.
"There's no way, ask the rest of the human kingdoms for help. These green skins will soon not be the business of one of our kingdoms, but the scourge of the entire human world, and even the entire world of Azeroth. Lane's words were unfortunately true.
The huge orc army has long been not satisfied with just half of the Red Ridge Mountain and an Elwyn Forest, just as the goal of the Great Mongolian Navy is the sea of stars, and the goal of the orcs is the entire world of Azeroth.
In addition to rushing west to attack the Stormwind Kingdom, the orc army also divided into a detachment and went north through the Red Ridge Mountains and the future Burning Plains, across the barren lands, and slaughtered Danmoro in the middle of the Eastern Kingdom's continent.
That's right, the tens of thousands of orcs led by the Tribal Blood Ring Clan are going to trouble the dwarves.
Not only that, but there are also some small tribal clans who choose to go all the way north, into the territory of the Riptide Kingdom and even the Alterac Kingdom.
Since April, Lane has been sending letters to countries asking for help, but they have been slow to respond. These countries, thousands of miles away, instinctively felt at first that Ryan was not dazzled and saw the trolls as some kind of orcs.
It wasn't until July, when the green-skinned orcs indiscriminately appeared on the territory of several human kingdoms and launched attacks on human villages, towns, and even fortresses, that the high-level leaders of various countries suddenly realized that this was a large-scale invasion of the entire continent and even the entire world!
At this time, more than half of the territory of the Elvin Forest in the Stormwind Kingdom had fallen.
At this time, a news came that shocked the entire Stormwind Kingdom, and indeed the whole world, - Medivan officially rebelled, and he killed the entire Council of Six of Tirisfa. His mother, Egwen, rushed to Karazhan and was also defeated by Sargeras, who already possessed all the power of the Guardians, and disappeared.
