Chapter 426: How to Withdraw
The main force of the tribe spent two days through the snow-covered mountains, descending west to the hilly terrain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info So far, the orcs have not seen a single human. Some fighters even muttered that they had lost their chance to kill. But the conquerors of the kingdom of Alterac who had caught up from behind had their nerves strained.
Their Grand Chief assured them that there would be such an opportunity soon.
Yes, they have a chance.
As early as three days ago, after the news of the destruction of Alterac broke, there was a fierce quarrel within Lordaeron and the entire league.
In the Lordaeron Front Command Tent between the Silverpine Forest and the Tirisfal Glade.
A general from a noble background roared like crazy: "That kid sitting in the position of deputy commander is a fool, give him an army of 50,000, but he still let the tribe touch our noses!"
Mograine, who knew Duke best, sneered at the guy with disdainful clarity: "If you lead the team, you will only give 50,000 copies of the savage green monster in your mouth." ”
"Retreat! Fail! Lose the capital! This is already the second in the Alliance to lose the capital!?Who's next?Is it Lordaeron?Is it Ironforge or Riptide?Are we falling faster than anyone?No, we must take the initiative in the hands of our Lordaerons. Your Majesty, you should use your influence to reclaim the position of Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Marshal of the Alliance!" another duke jumped out and slapped the table hard, attracting everyone's attention, and his proposal was immediately echoed by many nobles.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
He slapped the table, and Mograini hammered it. As a rare lord among the nobility with an unremarkable amount of force, Mograine is by no means inferior to anyone else when it comes to making noise.
"Watch your mouth, Duke Sandoz! A change of commander will only create more chaos!" Mograine's muscles bulged with whiskers, "The two commanders in your mouth have done a good job, and under their leadership we have killed half a million orcs." The only reason for this is that there are too many damn greenskins. ”
The guy named Sandus still didn't want to die: "If it is led by His Majesty Minethir, we can kill 1 million orcs!"
Admittedly, this is a very skillful sycophant.
At any other point in time, King Terenus accepted with a smile. Unfortunately, this was the time when the allies needed their help the most, and King Lordaeron, who was sitting on the highest throne, said calmly: "If I were the commander, there would be no alliance." ”
The guys down there immediately shut up.
The gray-haired King Terenus rubbed his temples and turned to look at his most capable commander, the Grand Lord Mograini.
"What's your opinion? ”
"We can only withdraw, the best soldiers in Lordaeron City have been transferred here by us, and the remaining city guards will not be able to deal with the core elite of the tribe...... If the fighting power of this tribe is really as terrible as Deputy Commander Marcus described......"
Several nobles suddenly exploded like cats with their tails stepped on, but as soon as Terenus raised his hand and made a gesture of silence, the fellows could only hold back.
Terenus added, "Even at the cost of the entire Tirisfara Glade?"
Ignoring the murderous gaze of the upper nobles of the fiefdom in the Tirisfal Woodlands, Mograine gritted his teeth: "We don't have enough troops to sustain a two-front battle, so my answer is: 'Yes! Lordaeron has no room for error. ’”
Everyone knows the truth, but it's another thing to spread it on the head of the individual. Everyone knows that the tribe is a swarm of locusts, and they use up their resources wherever they go. It is a nomadic tribe at heart, so there is no concept of sustainable development.
All the wild beasts in the woods are hunted, the trees are cut down, and the laborers will be allowed to feed their livestock with plants at will when they have no choice, such as pigs seized from humans, which are very appetizing to the orcs.
After playing in the silver pine forest for so long, it almost destroyed the forest, and it was difficult to find a tree with green leaves, even though it was summer. Once the line retreats, the Silverpine Forest is a template for future Tirisfal glades.
Now seeing the bitter faces of those lords of the Tirisfal Woodland, the lords of the Silver Pine Forest, who had been persecuted for a long time, suddenly had a feeling of schadenfreude.
However, retreating to Lordaeron is also a painful option, and it is conceivable that Lordaeron will be cut off from all ties to its own territory after being caught between the east and west of the Horde. The only way to get supplies is to rely on Lake Lordamere.
To the east of the lake is the mountains, to the west is the battered silver pine forest, and to the south is Dalaran, who has never been known for its grain production. It is particularly ironic that the Stormwind Kingdom refugees, who had been living in Hillsbride as refugees, instead became the mainstay of the alliance a year later.
"Okay, the next topic, since the retreat has been decided, how to retreat?"
The tribes of the Silver Pine Forest had apparently received the news that tentative attacks had become more frequent in the last two days.
"Evacuate the position casually, once caught up by the tribe, we will be wiped out. Mograini solemnly warned: "In principle, we must leave the troops behind." ”
As soon as they heard the break, many lords twitched their facial muscles and lowered their heads, and even some lords quietly retreated back in small steps, for fear that their king would take a fancy to them.
Terenus's face was not good, and as soon as he raised his hand, an attendant handed Mograini a note.
"Military affairs, I'm not too proficient, this is the idea given by Duke with magic communication, what do you think?"
When Mograini saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "He is really a military genius!"
Grom Hellroar has personally led his army to storm the northern defense of the Silverpine Forest. As a pure martial artist, he doesn't know much about strategy. Since Orgrim had sent a letter asking him to lead his army to bite the troops to the north, he continued to send small forces to attack.
The performance of human beings when they have a solid position is more than a notch behind the performance in the field. If these guys are allowed to return to Lordaeron City, it will definitely increase the difficulty of attacking by a few levels.
These days, the northern position is always beating drums, as if to tell the tribe that 'we have precautions'. In fact, as soon as the Horde's troops approached, the drums would become dense, and more human troops would pour out of the camp on the scale of the Horde's attack.
The annoying paladins disappeared for two days and then returned. The Silver Knights even took it upon themselves to kill small groups of troops.
This went on for three days, and then Grom suddenly realized that something was wrong!
"Oh no! Humanity is going to escape!" (To be continued.) )
