Chapter 439: Latest News (Crimson Pupils in Dreams)
Whose tears are flying?
Whose applause is ringing?
For the citizens of Lordaeron, who claim to be the best in the world, yesterday was definitely the most frightening day. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
I used to think that war was so far away.
The aristocrats sang and danced. There are still hundreds of large and small banquets and dances every month. The nobles held a masquerade ball for thousands of people, and a banquet with more than 100 kinds of desserts.
The comfortable thoughts of the nobles were uploaded to the effect.
The people also enjoy this tranquility and prosperity very naturally.
Yesterday, everything changed.
The savage and brutal orcs broke through the defenses, crossed the snowy mountains, and killed directly in the city. Even though most of the orcs were killed on the walls, a small number of orcs broke through the defenses and reached the city to kill.
The strongest troops in Lordaeron were replenished in the direction of the city walls, and the task of destroying these orcs had to be entrusted to the city guards. These city guards who have not received strict military training usually clean up the hooligans and ruffians or something, and they are not enough to see the only elite of the Blackstone clan.
The orcs who broke into the city were finally counted at 68.
It was these 68 men who caused nearly 5,000 casualties, an average of two dozen or more city guards killed by each orc, and more than three dozen civilians killed or wounded.
Almost every family in the entire Dongcheng District has a funeral.
The city of Lordaeron panicked, and even with more than 30,000 Alliance troops stationed behind it, a large number of citizens and nobles woke up in a nightmare throughout the night. There was even a guy who had a nightmare and shouted "The orcs are coming", which actually produced a chain of panic escapes, causing more than 100 casualties in trampling each other.
It wasn't until Duke had Arthas order the magic lighting to be activated throughout the process, illuminating the city of Lordaeron as if it were day, and repeatedly making Lordaeron soldiers sing the Lordaeron military song while patrolling, that the timid citizens of Lordaeron felt a little at ease.
In this way, the Lordaerons welcomed the 8,000 cavalry of the Grand Lord of Mograini the next day. Then, after another two days, they waited for the exhausted King Terenus to return with his main force.
Apparently forced to return to help, Terenus and his infantry were greeted as if they were heroes. Almost every citizen gathered around the West Gate to welcome the return of their army with the warmest and most genuine cheers.
This is not a triumph to boast about, all the people want is a sense of security. Unable to deal with the enthusiastic people, Terenus hurried back to the palace. There, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Alliance, Duke, Admiral Lane, Admiral Soras, Admiral Kudran, and Major General Haas had been waiting for a long time.
Terenus did not put on the role of the alliance leader, and directly bowed to the kings such as Duke and Ryan according to the rules of the alliance.
"Thank you very much to Your Excellency the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the three Admirals, and all the allies for the rescue of Lordaeron. Without your help, Lordaeron would have been nailed to the Pillar of Shame for all eternity. "Terenus is serious, and without Duke's troop transfer, he would be a lost dog by now.
"The alliance leader is polite, didn't we set up the alliance to help each other today? If we can't work together, whether it's humans, dwarves, or elves, we will all be slaughtered by the tribe, and we may not even be qualified to become slaves. Duke was also very polite.
The kings also exchanged pleasantries.
After the necessary etiquette, Terenus was unequivocal: "Alright, let me get straight to the point." Although I also think that an army of nearly 300,000 people will be able to keep Lordaeron from being conquered by the Horde, the truth is that Lordaeron does not have the food needed to maintain the 300,000 soldiers and nearly 400,000 civilians for a long time. In the past, Lordaeron had always supported the food, ordnance, and soldiers of various countries, and now it was Lordaeron's turn to need the support of various countries. ”
Spread out the handboard, ask for money, food, soldiers, everything.
The bigwigs of various countries suddenly had bitter mouths.
The Hammer Dwarves hardly farm, they live a life of half-farming and half-pasture, usually letting griffons fly around the mountains to catch and eat themselves.
Soras's Arathi Heights had just been plowed by the locusts of the Horde, and he wouldn't have sent out his troops if he hadn't seen that cavalry was needed to defend Fort Riptide.
Alterac had just been raided less than a week ago, and there wasn't a single piece of grass left.
Going around and around, among the countries, Dalaran, which is relatively stable, is the richest, followed by the refugee country more than a year ago, the Storm Kingdom. The harvest of summer grain in the hills of Hillsbrad can't hide from anyone, but unfortunately, the Stormwind Kingdom itself has hundreds of thousands of mouths.
As soon as Terenus spoke, he immediately froze.
Thankfully, everyone can be silent, but Duke can't. The Alliance has been fighting with the Horde for so long, and everyone has unconsciously become accustomed to Duke being the real leader.
Scheduling coordination is under the control of Duke.
The logistics and magic realms are under Duke's control.
Even the command of most of the country's military forces, and even the recruitment of new members, were under Duke's control.
If Lothar wasn't busy dealing with the western battlefield, and the front army over there also had the strength of Lordaeron, Gilneth, and Dalaran, everyone would have almost forgotten that Lothar was the commander-in-chief.
Facing the eyes of the kings, Duke looked light.
"Who said that there will be a long and long battle to defend the city? Why can't we be optimistic, now is a good time for us to annihilate the main force of the tribe!"
As soon as these words came out, the bigwigs were stunned.
Their minds simply can't keep up with Duke's pace. Aren't the tribes invincible now? Don't you see the tribes interspersed and unstoppable?
The flames of war have burned the entire northern continent, and in the eyes of the kings, there is no safe place for the entire continent. From the southernmost Arathi Highlands, to the northernmost Yongge Forest, from the westernmost Nanliu Coast, to the easternmost Hinterland, tribes can be found everywhere.
Even if the alliance gains the upper hand on the Western Front, there is no way to take the remaining 100,000 tribes.
Just now, there was no Alterac King City, and now Duke actually said that he could completely annihilate the main force of the tribe?
If it were Duke a year ago, he would probably have to face endless doubts and even ridicule at this moment. Now Duke......
Solas smiled, Ryan smiled, Kudran smiled, and almost all of the kings who fought on the Eastern Front gave Duke a kind look. Everyone waited with ease as Duke came up with the long-awaited answer.
Seriously, Terenus was very nervous just now, in order to obtain this alliance leader, Lordaeron has paid a lot, but he is not sure that his and the country's efforts will be rewarded accordingly at a critical moment. Now it seems that the countries of the alliance are not only reliable under Duke's coordination, but can also give him enough surprises.
Duke smiled and turned on a live video of a magic teleportation: "What's new, Gul'dan sold Orgrim. (To be continued.) )
