My Frostmourne can't be so cute

It is such a character who, after practising spells and demon powers for 10,000 years, and possessing both the Warglaive of Azzinoth and the Skull of Gul'dan, he was still defeated by the Hand of Frostmourne in Northrend. .Although Arthas experienced the battle personally, he himself was just a slightly stronger death knight. Facing the long-famous Illidan, he had almost no resistance at the beginning, but Frostmourne easily absorbed it. After taking the soul fragments that Illidan prepared for this battle, he used the evil soul fire to corrode Illidan's body, so that he has not recovered the strongest state in the following days.

Chapter 19 The Orcs in Alterac Valley

With Frostmourne, who was a powerful bodyguard by his side, Arthas didn't know what else he should be afraid of. As Frostmourne said, even if Sargeras was there, he might not be his opponent.As Arthas was about to approach the cave to see what was hidden inside, Frostmourne suddenly said, "Master, it seems that something is coming from over there."

Arthas stopped, and at this time he could already feel the slight tremors of the earth-this was a sign of the arrival of large-scale cavalry!Served in the Knights of the Silver Hand for many years, and once led Lordaeron's army to strangle the Scourge, Arthas did not lack military common sense and made a judgment in an instant.

However, in this inaccessible Alterac Valley, how can there be a brigade of cavalry?Arthas decided to hide first to see who these uninvited guests were.Alsace soon hid behind a half-dry cedar, covering his figure with a thick trunk.

Frostmourne kicked the snow on the ground beside Alsace. She didn’t need to worry about being discovered. She just saw Alsace hiding behind a tree. Frostmourne remembered a kind of “peekaboo”. "The game... Among the countless souls that were swallowed and absorbed by him, this game will always appear in the childhood of the dead in a variety of slightly different ways.

As the tremor intensified, Arthas knew that the cavalry was approaching.Sure enough, after a while, behind the mountain, a large group of knights appeared-certainly not knights in the traditional sense, because the mounts under their hips were not war horses, but white giant wolves with sharp claws and sharp teeth. The riders on the backs of the wolf are a group of hideous, heavily armed orcs!

Orc wolf knight?Arthas's pupils shrank-did the orc striker reach Alterac Valley so soon?how is this possible?There was no information from Stromgarde, and there was no trace of the orc fleet in Nanhai Town, so where did these orcs appear?

Although Alsace’s concealment was not considered successful, the group of orcs and wolf cavalry did not pay attention to the movement here. Instead, Qi Qi restrained the giant wolves under his hips at the entrance of the cave, and rolled off their mounts one by one and pulled them out. The weapons on his body formed a circle around the entrance of the cave, seeming to have their enemies inside.

Arthas noticed a detail. The mounts of this group of wolf cavalry were all white giant wolves. However, in the limited information about orcs before, there was no record of such wolf cavalry. The known orcs and wolf cavalry were mostly mounted. Take a brown, black, or gray wolf.In addition to the mounts brought over from their hometown in Draenor, there are many wolves caught and tamed in Elwynn Forest and Dusk Forest.

In any case, the power of the orcs had crossed the narrow sea that divided the eastern kingdom into two halves and came to the territory of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.Knowing that the war was about to break out, Arthas was even more worried about Uther who was attacking the Broken Ridge. If he encountered an orc wolf cavalry halfway through, or Aiden's son Elliton had surrendered, the orc's forward had entered the Broken Ridge Fortress. , Then Uther, who only carried a hundred subordinates to follow him, was in a very dangerous situation.

While Alsace was worried about Uther, there was an earth-shattering roar from the valley, followed by a wave of shaking, and the violent tremor spread to the place where Alsace was hiding, making him a little surprised. This shock was even more shocking than the movement of nearly a hundred orc wolf cavalry just now.

The orc wolf cavalry were also a little frightened, and stepped back a little later. The giant wolves beside them also lowered their body slightly, their front paws clung to the ground tightly, their hind legs bent, their bodies arched up, barring huge teeth, and waiting. Attack the enemy in the cave-Compared with the human knight, the orc wolf cavalry's attack power is obviously stronger, because their mounts are also very lethal.

At this time, you can see who the leader is. When the other wolf cavalry were a little nervous, an aging orc did not move. On the contrary, he bought a few steps forward. The wolf beside him was not tight. Follow the owner slowly.Of course, in the eyes of Arthas, the orcs looked the same, saying that the orcs were old because of his white beard and hair and a rickety back.

Arthas quickly discovered what was special about this old orc-all the other orcs were wearing plate armor, holding large weapons such as mace or heavy hammer, and this old orc was only in key parts With some lock armor attached, and only two one-handed swords in his hand, it didn't look like a warrior.

At this moment, another roar came out, and a small mountain-like figure quickly threw out from the cave, slammed heavily in front of the cave, and aroused a piece of snow.Arthas took a breath of cold air-he saw a huge monster rushed out of the cave. The monster was covered with thick white hair and had two long pointed horns on its head, standing upright like a human. At the same time, the height of five or six meters, the huge body shows its powerful strength.

This is a snowman, and Arthas recognized the identity of the monster.There were such creatures in Northrend, but it was the first time Arthas saw such a huge snowman.Frostmourne said to one side: "It turned out to be a snowman, no wonder I felt that the soul in it was very weak just now!"

The snowman can be regarded as a member of the intelligent creatures. They can communicate with each other simply by sound, and can express their meanings with some strange-shaped symbols, but they are naturally incomparable with creatures that have created civilizations like human orcs.The snowman looked at the small group of people in front of him suspiciously (in fact, the orcs are not small at all! They are short and strong enough), and they don't understand why these strange groups of people disturb their dormancy.

Arthas was as puzzled as the snowman now—this group of orcs came to Alterac Valley and did not contact Aiden (the orcs did not know that Aiden was imprisoned), and ran here to find a snowman. trouble?The orcs, wolf cavalry and snowman over there don't care what Alsace is thinking, the snowman has a strong sense of territory, since I don't understand why these monsters are here, I just smash them all!

Make up his mind, the snowman rushed to the group of orc wolf cavalry on the left side of the cave.Although the snowman's body is huge, his actions are still very agile. When the orc wolf cavalry didn't react, he grabbed an orc wolf cavalry with both hands and shook it hard. Two groups of blood fog exploded in the air, and the snowman shook his hand. , Threw down two pools of fleshy flesh, and roared at the rest of the orc wolf cavalry with his mouth open.

Although the orc wolf cavalry were a little afraid of the snowman's strength, they were warriors after all. They soon awoke from the fear, and cooperated with their wolf companions to attack the snowman's lower body with heavy hammers and maces.Of course, the risk of doing so is also huge. The snowman’s arms are dancing like wheels, and the feet are constantly stepping on them. If you are not careful, the orc wolf cavalry will be stamped into a ball of meat sauce.

On the contrary, the liberated giant wolves pose a greater threat to the snowman. They jumped on the snowman's shoulders, madly biting the snowman's thick skin, hoping to penetrate this protective film.However, the snowman's thick hair, which was nearly half a meter thick, looked like natural armor. The hairs of the giant wolves flew across the mouth, but few real blood flowed out.

Chapter Twenty-Wolves Walk A Thousand Miles to Eat Meat

The old orc's roar was extremely energetic, and Arthas could hear it clearly from a distance.The orcs and wolf cavalry quickly withdrew from the battle and brought their injured companions out of the yeti's attack range.The old orc strode forward, and when he was still some distance away from the snowman, the old orc stopped advancing, clenched the weapon with both hands, bowed slightly, and walked slowly around the snowman, looking like a thief.

After the fight just now, although the snowman was not seriously injured, he was a bit tired. Seeing that the enemy in front of him hadn't attacked for the time being, he was not so vigilant to relax his body and take a breather.The old orc was waiting for such an opportunity. At the moment when the snowman's muscles were loose, he decisively launched an attack.But it was not the one-handed sword in the old orc’s hand that was attacking. He only heard the old orc’s loud shout, a colorful light flashed, and a cloud of phantom appeared behind the old man. Arthas looked at it from a distance, like a belt. Pillars with patterns.

The big shout of the old orc frightened the snowman. This behemoth vaguely felt that the dazzling light was a great threat to him. When he was grinning to deter his opponent, the old man's one-handed sword pointed forward, The thick blue flash current projected from the phantom behind the old man, hitting the snowman's face.After a burst of "crackling" electric shocks, the snowman's face was dark, and the wolf companions of the orc wolf cavalry were all eager to show their fangs, and turbid saliva flowed out of the big mouth-a smell of barbecue. Permeated the battlefield.

The snowman is covered with thick hair, and has strong resistance to physical damage or magic damage.However, the hairless area of ​​the face is obviously its weakness. Lightning hits the snowman’s eyes hard, and can’t help but electrify the entire head of the snowman. It also severely damaged the snowman’s eyes and made it lose sight. ability.

The dark snowman in front of him was extremely frightened, his hands dancing wildly in the air, and the orcs and wolf cavalry dared not approach.The old orc gasped hard and shouted again.Following the shout of the old orc, the light ball behind him flashed a green light again and got under the snowman's feet.In an instant, clusters of vines grew wildly from under the snowman's feet, entangled the snowman's feet and arms.

The struggling snowman quickly broke free and broke a few vines. However, as the number of vines gradually increased, the newly grown vines became thicker and thicker. Finally, the snowman was caught by hundreds of vines with a diameter of half a meter. Tuantuan enveloped him, although he could still roar, but he couldn't move at all.

The orcs and wolf cavalry burst into cheers, but the old orc sat on the ground, struggling to get up, but still failed, and the phantom behind him gradually disappeared.Orcs and wolf cavalry rushed to the snowman one after another, climbed up along the vines, and pierced the snowman's neck, ears and mouth with sharp weapons.

As large groups of dark red blood flowed down from the vines, the snowman's roar gradually disappeared.The vines surrounding the snowman gradually became thinner, and the orc wolf cavalry quickly jumped off the snowman.The gradually thinning vines finally couldn't support the snowman's huge body, and it was broken. With a "boom", the snowman's body fell on the snow, and the blood from the wound soaked the open space in front of the cave.

The old orc seemed to regain some strength, stood up, supported by an orc wolf cavalry, came to the entrance of the cave.There was a word in the old orc's mouth, not knowing what spell he was muttering.Soon, a dozen orc wolf cavalry rushed into the cave, and in a short while, seven or eight struggling living creatures were brought out from it-it was a reduced version of the snowman just now, which seemed to be its children.

Arthas didn't know what the group of orcs and wolf cavalry were doing to catch these little snowmen. While guessing, he found that nearly a hundred giant wolves swarmed up and started to eat the bodies of the giant snowmen.Although the snowman was huge, he couldn't bear to have more wolves and less meat. In a short while, he was gnawed away, and even his bones were chewed to pieces.

The old orcs didn't know what they said, the orcs and wolf cavalry also threw the little snowman into the wolves pile, and soon the little snowman was swallowed up and stripped.However, the giant wolves were obviously unable to satisfy, staring with blood-red eyes and a long spiked tongue sticking out of their mouths, and the shreds of meat stuffed between the teeth could be vaguely seen.

The old orc shook his head and shouted again. Arthas could not hear what the old orc said, but Frostmourne must know.Arthas turned his head to look at his little magic sword. Frostmourne knew the master's mind and explained to him: "That old orc is ordering his men to kill the wolf."

Kill the wolf?Arthas was a little puzzled, and immediately reacted-in the previous battle, the orc wolf cavalry had a lot of casualties, but the giant wolf had almost no casualties, so now the number of wolves is more than the number of orc wolf cavalry.Sure enough, Frostmourne was right. Following the old orc's order, the orcs and wolf cavalry walked towards their former partners.

At this time Arthas understood why the old orc let the pack of wolves corpse the snowman's body, because there are more wolves and less meat, this method is the most effective way to distinguish the good from the bad.All the giant wolves with blood lying on the corners of their mouths were not taken care of by the orc wolf cavalry, and those with no blood on the corners of their mouths and no red giant wolves on their paws. Obviously, they had a disadvantage in the fight just now and got nothing. The relatively weak wolves were killed by the orcs and wolf cavalry one after another, sobbing, lying on their backs on the snow.And the group of bloodied giant wolves pounced on the bodies of their companions and feasted once again.

After a bloody gluttonous feast, the orc wolf cavalry adjusted the number of wolves to be the same as their own, mounted their mounts and galloped deep into the valley under the leadership of the old man.The piles of scattered bones left on the ground, and the number of orcs and wolf cavalry who left only less than seventy when they left, are all telling the loss of the battle-about one-third of the orcs and wolf cavalry. And the giant wolf died at the entrance of the cave-both the snowman's credit, but also thanks to his companions.

Arthas came out from where he was hiding behind the tree, frowning and asked: "It's strange, the orc wolf cavalry always eats and lives with their own wolves, and they have deep feelings. How can they kill their companions? "Frostmourne didn't understand this kind of thing, and couldn't help Alsace, so he stood quietly next to his master, looking at him thinking like an idiot.

Suddenly, Arthas thought of a very reasonable but somewhat inconceivable answer-these orcs and wolf cavalry must be out of food.Orcs do not have to eat meat themselves, they can also eat grains and fruits; but giant wolves cannot live without meat, so they need to hunt huge snowmen and kill extra giant wolves.

And the food for the orcs and wolf cavalry must not be sufficient, because if the old orcs took the first shot, there would definitely not be so many wolf cavalry deaths. Is this a means of saving food?But... if this orcs were the vanguard to attack Lordaeron, how could it be so short of food?Killing companions and mounts is just to save food. What kind of tragic mood is this?

Chapter 21 The Infantry Wing is finally here

The more Arthas thought about it, the more things went wrong. Although I don’t know why this orc wolf cavalry did not appear under Alterac Castle, there are now less than 400 Lordaeron Royal Guards in Alterac Castle, and he is himself Their prince is not in the castle.In case the castle is surrounded by orc army, they may not have the mind to continue defending the city because they are worried about their safety, so they must rush back as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Alsace said regretfully to Frostmourne: "Xiaoshuang, we may not be able to move on. I am in a hurry now, and I have to hurry back to the castle." Frostmourne was still very sensible at the critical moment. Yes, of course I won't be arrogant, and I will rush to the castle with Arthas right now.

In fact, Alsace didn't leave the castle very far, but had to detour to the gate on the other side, which took a little setback.When Alsace hurried back to the castle, five thousand infantrymen just arrived outside the city.Arthas hurriedly stopped the adjutant who led five thousand cavalry soldiers, and briefly explained the fact that Uther had taken a hundred men to attack the fortress of Broken Ridge, and then as a prince ordered the adjutant to take four thousand men to support Uzbek. Thrall, the remaining thousand people stayed in Alterac Castle to assist the city defense.

This adjutant was precisely from Lordaeron. Of course, he did not question the prince’s order. He immediately divided his command into two parts, and then hurriedly said goodbye to Arthas, leading the troops that had been marching for the whole morning, dragging his tired body. Ran to the fortress of Broken Ridge.Arthas thought for a while, and suddenly stopped the adjutant and told him to order the army to stop.

The adjutant was a little confused, but still carried out the prince's order.Arthas called the adjutant over and motioned the adjutant to squat down.The adjutant squatted in front of Arthas, and the little prince quietly told the story of the orc wolf cavalry found in Alterac Valley.Although the adjutant was also surprised at why the orc army came so quickly and did not alarm any human kingdoms, he would not question the information provided by the prince. The adjutant himself was just a soldier who had been in the army a little longer and had no decision-making ability. So we can only wait expectantly for the prince to give him orders.

Arthas's consideration was this-this was the infantry who had come from afar and was extremely exhausted. Among them, the Lordaerons had never fought against the orcs, and had no experience against the orcs; and those of Stormwind City. The fleeing army escaped from the city in a hurry when Stormwind was in chaos. Perhaps many people wanted to return to their homeland as soon as possible, but the fear of the orcs hidden in their hearts was not so easy to eliminate.

In this situation, if they meet those orcs and wolf cavalry in Alterac Valley, it is difficult for these human soldiers to organize effective resistance in a limited time, and it is even possible to collapse at once. I don't know what I want to see.Arthas thought for a while and came up with a perfect plan.

Arthas ordered the infantry to enter the Alterac castle immediately, repair them, and accept the defense of the castle, while guarding the betrayed Alterac nobles and disarmed soldiers, while the elite Royal Guard of Lordaeron was Liberation, Arthas will personally lead this team of cavalry to the Broken Ridge Fortress to support Uther.

Arthas revealed his plan, and the adjutant objected again and again—what's the joke?Hide yourself in the castle to rest, and let the little prince lead his troops out?Then what face does he have to face back to other officers?Is it going to be a coward for a lifetime?What's more, if something happens to the little prince, even if he cut his head, he can't get it back.

However, the adjutant also knew that once his troops hurriedly engaged the orcs, they could not withstand the orcs' impact without the powerful commander Uther.Not to mention anything else, these infantrymen still don't know about the existence of the orcs. Once they know about it, maybe deserters will appear.

So the adjutant’s proposal was to replace Arthas with himself and lead the Royal Guard to support the Broken Ridge Fortress.But he was just a small adjutant, how could the guards of Lordaeron's Royal Guard obey his orders.But Arthas also knew that he was a little anxious, no matter how noble his status, these Lordaeron subjects would not obey his orders on such matters.

Arthas sighed and chose a better plan. He decided to let the Royal Guard of Lordaeron go to the fortress of Broken Hill by himself. After all, these guards are warriors with a strong military quality. , Facing emergencies will not be as unreliable as those infantry who have never fought.In addition, Uther has been away for a while, and it is almost time to reach the bottom of Broken Ridge. Whether it succeeds or fails, there should be results.If successful, these guards will help Uther to stabilize the military spirit in the fortress; if they fail, they will be able to respond on the road.

After confirming the plan, Arthas immediately ordered all the royal guards of Lordaeron to assemble and rush to the Broken Ridge fortress with all the horses. At this time, most of the infantry team had entered the castle and took over the city defense and the work of guarding the prisoners.Reluctantly, the castle is too small to accommodate all the soldiers, so nearly two thousand people can only rest temporarily outside the city.

After arranging a series of military operations, Alsace felt a little tired, so he found a room in the main building and prepared to take a rest.After the Royal Guard of Lordaeron left, Alsace’s defense work was naturally taken over by this infantry team. The adjutant personally selected fifty relatively strong soldiers to guard all positions in the main building to protect the prince’s safety. Si reported that these people were pure Lordaeron.

Arthas didn't care too much about the difference between the people of Lordaeron and the people of Stormwind, but there was no need to blame the adjutant for this.Seeing that the prince was in bed, the adjutant stopped reporting, put his feet together, clenched his right fist on the heart, and bowed slightly for a military salute, then turned and left the room.

Arthas pulled over the quilt on one side and shook his head-it was really incomparable to his life in Lordaeron's palace. One side was made of velvet magic cloth and the other was linen quilt... Here's what to do After that, we must return to Lordaeron as soon as possible!——Alsace muttered in his heart, barely covering his body with some linen quilts.

Suddenly, Arthas felt a cold body get into the bed, and then hugged him tightly, without looking at it, he knew it was Frostmourne, the clinging little magic sword.Frostmourne put his arms around Arthas's arm, and his big shiny eyes looked straight at his master.Arthas turned his face slightly, coughed slightly, and reprimanded: "Don't go to bed in shoes!"

Chapter 22 The Returning Uther
