Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 341: Year Conclusion

The intensity of the war in the second year after Dark Gate was unprecedented.

Although far-sighted commanders saw the Horde's decline, the defensive alliance seemed precarious on several battlefields. frёewebηovel.cѳm

The Bronzebeard Dwarf in Ironforge in the far south, Kilrogg Deadeye of the Bleeding Hollow clan, changed his fighting style: he began to use the iron from the iron ore to make armor for the worthless laborers in the eyes of the Horde, and armed them thoroughly, simply bleeding the Bronzebeard Dwarves in exchange for their lives.

Southeast of Lordaeron, Arathi Highlands was almost completely occupied, and Stromgarde looked like it could fall at any time. The Horde brought in a large number of new warriors and laborers through the Dark Portal.

Rend Blackhand finally wised up for once. He gave up the storming of Stromgarde and instead had the hard laborers dig the mountain.

Stromgarde is located on the largest hill in Arathi Highlands. Except for a few places, most of the mountain roads leading to Stromgarde have a slope of more than 45 degrees. This is truly easy to defend but difficult to attack.

But digging the mountain hit the weak spot of Stromgarde.

Without the support of the earth, the ground outside Stromgarde began to collapse, and the sinking ground spread layer by layer in all directions, and houses overturned one after another. A large amount of debris formed a landslide and fell to the foot of the mountain.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Stromgarde, as the capital of the Arathor Empire, has the best defense in the entire continent, and even in the world. From inside to outside, there are five walls. Even if the outermost wall has collapsed, there are still four walls.

At this rate, Stromgarde can still hold out for about half a year.

The Horde's offensive at the Thoradin Wall, located between the Arathi Highlands and the Hillsbrad Foothills, was very fierce. Regardless of the quality of the troops, the Horde had more than 200,000 men.

Under the continuous attacks of various newly-made large and hard siege weapons, General Abendis of Lordaeron was unable to hold on. Now the coalition forces of Lordaeron, Stormwind and Alterac are guarding the Wall of Thoradin.

Further north, near the holy city of Stratholme, Duke was facing off against an unknown number of hordes in the Northwatch Tower, now the North Fortress.

Duke was not sure whether Orgrim's main force was right in front of him. But Duke had no choice. Because the place where the Horde army was located was Zul'Mashar, which had always been the territory of the Moss Trolls. It was unknown how Orgrim persuaded the remaining Moss Trolls to join the Horde.

Anyway, the Hordes there now include trolls, ogres, Gronns known as giant ogres, and a large number of red dragon knights.

A large number of elite tribal troops were there, so even if Duke launched a tentative attack, the losses would be extremely heavy.

Duke asked Kurdran to do a reconnaissance flight, which turned into a huge air battle. The Alliance lost nearly 300 griffins. Of course, the Horde was not doing well either, with more than 100 red dragons killed.

Thus, on almost all fronts, the Alliance was in an extremely passive defensive position. Every day, lives were lost at a rate of a dam breaking.

Letters for help from the front line flew to the two Alliance commanders like snowflakes. In fact, the war between the Alliance and the Horde had reached this point, like two extremely ferocious beasts, biting each other madly and constantly inflicting scars on each other.

Now it's not about who can deliver the fatal blow, but who can hold out longer. Whoever stands on the duel ring at the end is the winner.

Both Anduin and Duke were overwhelmed and had to appease the kings. Duke did not have a magic lamp that could conjure up thousands of troops.

In response to King Thoras of Stromgradee's request for help, Duke squeezed out some money from Daelinjun, like squeezing toothpaste, and transported dozens of seven-pound cannons originally used on warships to Stromgarde through the secret passage on the coast side of Stromgarde.

These seven-pound cannons greatly improved Stromgarde's defenses, making it less vulnerable to the Gronn.

Duke looked down on King Aiden of Alterac. Damn it, the Horde hasn't even reached your borders yet, so what's the point of sending out ten letters for help every day?

In fact, Duke also understood that when King Terenas forced several lords to bring their scum private soldiers to Duke's command, Duke had already completed the deployment of defenses in the entire "Eastern Plaguelands" of later generations.

Furthermore, the further west they went, the more densely populated the area, and the stronger the defenses of the Kingdom of Lordaeron became. Unless Orgrim and his 50,000 men could truly overcome all difficulties, it would only be a joke for him to break through the entire Eastern and Western Plaguelands, cross a distance of a thousand kilometers, and kill his way to the capital of Lordaeron in the center of Tirisfal Glades.

Of course, Orgrim could also count on Grom the Roaring Father to explode and suddenly use the trapped Horde to break through the defense line set up by the main force of Lordaeron along the northern part of Silverpine Forest and reach Lordaeron.

On the marching map, no one could imagine how the Horde could reach the capital of Lordaeron. However, there was actually a third way. That was to return to the Hinterlands, go west through the Poison Mist Canyon and Icewind Post, cross the Alterac Mountains, and reach the city of Lordaeron.

Looking at this Road, Duke was stunned for a long time.

He finally called Ilucia over, took out a letter he had written long ago and handed it to her: "Take this letter to your father in Caer Darrow. Gavinrad will accompany you. Remember, you are now the adjutant of the deputy commander of the Alliance. If you are detained... If necessary, I will personally lead the army to get you back."

Ilucia was completely confused. What did Duke mean by this?

Duke pulled Ilucia over and whispered a few words in her ear. Then, the eldest daughter of the Barov family, who always looked calm and composed, fell into the deepest fear for the first time in her life.

"Don't worry, since I foresaw it, this is just an insurance policy."

"Insurance...huh?" Ilucia's lips were still pale.

"Yes! You don't have to worry. If it really happens, I also have a way to reverse the situation."

Dark Portal 2, July 13th.

Near Icewind Post, the tribal chieftain Orgrim and his personal guards climbed down a mountain path slowly towards the small valley below.

It was late at night, and most people had already gone to bed.

Orgrim also hated lack of sleep, which made him irritable and confused.

Unfortunately, there is an important matter waiting for me right now.

Two tall and slender figures appeared in front of Orgrim, which startled his guards. He immediately found that they were the troll scouts he had sent out.

As scouts, the agile trolls were obviously better than the clumsy and crude orcs. So when Orgrim found out that there was another group of trolls in Mashazul who were unwilling to follow Zul'jin, and that they could be recruited with some food, he did not hesitate to recruit more than a thousand moss trolls.

"Warchief, we've found the target." The troll scout said.
