When the Alliance and the Horde disengaged, the Horde army moved away from the west, and the 80,000 Scarlet Crusader army camped next to Dalaran, a large number of officers and lieutenants surrounded the main tent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What are you doing!?do you want to rebel?" Mograini was a little angry, these were all his soldiers, when they were almost caught by the Scourge and the Horde at the beginning, they were all obedient, but at this time they ran out against Duke?

"No, Marshal Mograini, we just want to know an answer from His Excellency Commander Marcus, whether the answer is in line with our heart's wishes, we are still the generals of Lordaeron, the generals of the Alliance. A commodore who was apparently elected by the Alliance first gave an impeccable salute and then asked the question: "Why let the Horde go!?"

Duke's eyes swept the audience from left to right, and then his chin rose slightly: "Before answering your question, let me ask you a question - am I- Duke Marcus, like a tribal mole?"

Everyone was stunned, and then their faces became a little embarrassed.

If it is said that Duke, who ended the two alliance and tribal wars before and after, and was named the great hero of the alliance because of the death of millions of orcs, is a traitor of the orcs, then the human beings simply don't play tricks, and all of them commit suicide by jumping into the sea.

"How is this possible! You are the great hero of our humanity. ”

"Your Excellency, don't laugh. ”

"We have no intention of criticizing Your Excellency's orders, but we haven't gotten an answer, so we really can't sleep!"

"Yes, most of our hometowns have been burned down by orcs, and many of our elders have died at the hands of orcs, and it is awkward for us to suddenly tell us not to attack the rebellious orcs. ”

Mograini could fully understand their feelings, and no one could stand the fact that a former enemy, a slave of yesterday, had suddenly become a possible ally. But what if this kind of trouble angers Duke and makes Duke angry and ignores Lordaeron in a rage?

Both Mograini and Abidis were furious.

Duke waved his hand to stop Mograini and Abidis from having a seizure, and smiled, "According to your thoughts, what should we do?"

Someone shouted on the spot: "Destroy the Scourge Legion first, and then arrest and hang all the orcs who dare to kill the prison guards and escape!"

Duke continued to ask, "Okay, next question, do any of you know how many troops the Scourge Legion has?"

"Uh, a million?" are conservatives.

"Don't say a million, as long as we have a full queue and FFF flamethrowers, we won't be afraid of ten million!" This is obviously an optimist.

At this time, Duke's face turned cold as if it were a trick, and his face was gloomy and frightening.

Duke raised a finger in the air: "Hmph! Don't say that you have 100 sets of flamethrowers for every 10,000 people, it's useless to give you 10,000 sets! Do you know how many troops the Scourge Legion has? 100 million! At least 100 million!"

As soon as Duke said this, the audience suddenly felt as if they were suddenly blown by an ice wind, and all the officers and lieutenants shivered at the same time, and then gasped in unison.

"Isn't it!?"

"How is this possible!"

Duke's chin raised slightly: "That's right! In the entire Eastern Kingdom Continent, there are only more than 10 million human beings. But don't forget, you don't have to be zombies made of living people to make undead soldiers. For the Scourge Legion, skeletons are also soldiers. ”

Duke doesn't play dumb riddles either, and directly says the answer.

When those officers and lieutenants heard this, they were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and they all shook in place, unable to speak for a long time.

Duke waved his hand and said in a loud voice, "I know you're hard to accept, but the Scourge are such bastards! They will rip all your ancestors out of their resting places and turn them into soldiers who slaughter the living." So what we have to face is not a target like a million, two million scum, but probably hundreds of millions of skeleton soldiers. If you don't want to be drowned in the sea of the dead and become a part of the bondage of purgatory, go down and prepare for battle. ”

The officers dispersed, and they hurried back to their squadrons and squads to announce this terrible fact to the soldiers. For a while, there were shouts and angry scolding in the barracks.

Mograini was a little embarrassed: "Duke, thank you for your hard work." ”

"No! Sooner or later, they'll have to figure it out. Otherwise, they will always have a thorn in their hearts. ”

Abydis's facial muscles twitched, "Will there really be 100 million skeleton soldiers?"

Duke looked up to the north, "That's an exaggeration, Arthas doesn't have that many lichs and cursed cultists who control skeletons. 10 million undead soldiers, up to the sky. But 100 million undead soldiers, there must be one, unless we ......"

Duke didn't go on.

That 'unless' is a very cruel thing for the Lordaerons. Because it means that the people of every town have to dig up the bones of their ancestors and burn them with fire.

Even if the Lordaerons agreed to do so, it would be almost impossible. The Lordaeron have been breeding on this land for 2,800 years.

Before Arthas's father's murder, Lordaeron had a population of more than six million. And it is impossible to calculate how many generations have passed in 2800 years and how many people have died.

Even if it is burned, it cannot be done with the existing manpower and material resources.

Back in the tent, Mograini anxiously asked, "What are we going to do now?"

Duke gestured on the military map, constantly moving the chess pieces that symbolized the strength of the town: "It's good to defeat the main force of Arthas, but don't forget that the Scourge is more powerful than locusts." We need to quickly contact all the towns of Lordaeron, gather all the living forces, withdraw those who should be evacuated, and defend those who should be defended. The Scourge can't be allowed to expand its forces indefinitely. ”

Seeing the direction in which Duke was moving the pieces, Mograini and Abidis simply collapsed. If another person does this, it is estimated that they will all be scolded.

Because Duke completely vacated the city of Lordaeron, he withdrew all the forces of the two districts of Tirisfard and Silverpine Forest to the shores of the North Stream. On the east side, it is to directly abandon the holy city of Stratholm and shrink all forces to the easternmost Chapel of the Light's Wish and the Hand of Tyr.

The territory of nearly 2,000 kilometers from east to west in the middle was all ceded to the Scourge Legion in one go.

Mograine's eyelids jumped: "We can't use the Sodoril River as a line of defense......"

Duke interrupted, "If Keldaron wasn't the lair of the Cult of the Damned......"

The generals in the big tent turned pale again.

There were still several generals who wanted to argue, but Duke pulled out the killer weapon, Queen Kalia's staff.

"In the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Alliance and Queen Leah Minahir, I ask you to carry out your orders. Those who refuse will be punished as deserters!" (To be continued.) )
