My Frostmourne can't be so cute

Muradin's expression gradually became serious with Alsace’s furious shouts, and finally, it became particularly solemn—Dun Modd Fortress, the bridgehead of the Thador Bridge, has been in the hands of the dwarven army in Ironforge. .This fortress was built entirely by dwarves. Although it was not originally intended to be used as a military fortress, the dwarf craftsmen built an indestructible fortress.

After the capture of Stormwind, the orcs' army quickly went northward, trying to cross the Thador Bridge and enter the Lordaeron subcontinent to invade several human kingdoms here.However, the five thousand dwarf warriors in Dun Modr fortress blocked the orc army's pace and blocked the orc army in the southern half of the Eastern Kingdom at the cost of almost zero casualties.

After being strongly blocked by the dwarves, the orcs were forced to abandon the initial quick attack tactics and instead besieged the dwarves’ capital, Ironforge.However, in the months-long offensive and defensive battle, the orcs not only failed to gain the upper hand, but were killed and wounded by the heroic army of dwarves.

Sometimes, whether the relationship between allies is close is reflected in times of crisis.There is a sacred covenant between the high elves and the humans, but they refuse to join forces with the humans to fight the orcs on the pretext of being attacked by the orc squad. The dwarves of Ironforge, although known as "allies" with the humans, are actually No covenant exists.However, even in an emergency like Ironforge’s siege, the dwarf king of Ironforge, Muradin Bronzebeard’s brother Magni Bronzebeard, never withdrew the troops stationed in Dun Modr fortress and gave them to the orcs. Out of the way to invade humanity.

It is precisely because of the containment of Ironforge and the robustness of Dun Modr that King Terenas and Sir Anduin Lothar will judge that the orcs will definitely avoid the road passage of the Sador Bridge and turn from Seek the opportunity to land on the subcontinent of Lordaeron at sea.But now, Arthas discovered that Dun Modo Fortress had a fatal weakness.

When a dwarf who is addicted to alcohol meets the annual carnival and wine festival, what will be the consequences?Arthas could even imagine that when the orc invaders climbed the walls of Dun Modr fortress tomorrow morning, they would be able to take the nearly five thousand dwarves stationed there without any effort. The soldiers slaughtered cleanly.

Muradin also thought of this, stood up, looked at the surrounding companions who had fallen on the ground, knocked on his head with some annoyance, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn..." Muradin and His brother Magni was not very good at tactical analysis. They thought that the orcs would land from Nanhai Town and then attack human territory.

By the time Muradin set out, his brother Magni had already begun to prepare his army and decided to go north to support his human allies.But this is easier said than done. The dwarven warriors of Ironforge have been fighting for a long time and haven’t got enough rest for a few months, and the Wine Festival is about to be celebrated recently, so Magni’s It may take some time for the dwarven reinforcements to be assembled, and Muradin set out early to contact the Wildhammer tribe, hoping that they can join the alliance against the invasion of the orcs.

During this period of preparations and on the way to Eagle's Nest Mountain, Muradin had never thought that the orcs might re-launch the attack on Dun Modd Fortress and seized the deadly time of the Wine Festival. Kind of possibility.Now, under Alsace's reminder, Muradin knew what he had to do.

"I must rush back to Dun Modr fortress." Muradin said to himself and Arthas.Looking around at the staggering companions around him, Muradin shook his head-it seemed that they could only be thrown here. This group of guys drank all the ale they carried, and even Muradin himself was dizzy now.

"Is it time?" Alsace was a little worried.Muradin shook his head and walked to the war sheep on the side, and said, "It should be possible to arrive at Dun Modr fortress tomorrow morning, but those guys... must have already..." Muradin shook his head, his companions It's all drunk like this. When I feel the Dun Modr Fortress, it would be nice to find two guys who opened the door for me.

"We also set off." Arthas said decisively to Mograine.Then, the little prince yelled to Muradin: "Muradin, wait for me, our carriage should not be slower than your war sheep. Going back alone will not help you. With me, you can tell Sador The Stromgarde army on the bridge asks for help. Even if your dwarf warriors are drunk, the army of the Kingdom of Stormgarde can take over the defense there... The holy light is on, hope the orcs will wait until dawn attack."

Muradin heard what Arthas said, and felt that there was some truth. If he returned to Dun Modr Fortress by himself, even if he could get there in an instant, he would not be able to organize an effective defense.And the human army on the other side of the bridge, although they will also value their request for help, but if there is a human prince by their side, they must be more certain.Moreover, Muradin is somewhat selfish-he is not in a good state now, what if he rides on a war sheep and falls halfway on the side of the road and can't get up?Being with Alsace and others, it's still a care.

Alsace had just ordered, Mograine had already gone back to prepare the carriage, Vereesa followed to help, Frostmourne naturally disdain to do this kind of chores, she was more willing to surround Alsace and help her master wipe Wipe the sweat oozing from his forehead because of nervousness and worry.

Muradin paced anxiously on the spot, while waiting for the arrival of the Alsace carriage, while complaining about his stupidity, he couldn't even think of such a simple thing, and he didn't even remind him when he passed Dun Modd on the way. The dwarf warriors are more careful.As Arthas listened to Muradin’s whispering curses, he quickly thought about it—the weakness of the dwarves who would spend the night on a hangover at the Wine Festival is indeed deadly enough; but even if he took down the Dun Modd Fortress, It may not be possible to quickly break through the defense line of the Kingdom/Army of Stromgard.

Chapter 166 Difficult opponent

What's more, to be selfish, from the standpoint of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, even if the defense line of Stromgarde’s army is broken, there is still a strong and tall Thoradin wall that can stop the orcs from advancing.But what Arthas didn’t understand was that since the orcs decided to break through Dun Modr’s Fortress at the perfect opportunity of the Wine Festival from the beginning, and then began a tug of war with the human army on the Thador Bridge, why bother Let their fleet be wiped out in front of Nanhai Town?

No matter how you look at the ships that are not pleasing to the eye, it would be fine to quietly sink them in the Palatine Bay. Why do they need to deliberately let them sink in Nanhai Town?The leader of the orcs is definitely a powerful character, and even the dwarves' customs at the Wine Festival are clear, so the damage of these ships must also have special significance.

Generally speaking, this is just a simple sound attack, using this method to paralyze the human army in Nanhai Town, thereby giving the alliance high-level officials the illusion that it is impossible for orcs to land in Nanhai Town.But without the ship, even if the defense of Nanhai Town weakens, it is impossible for the orcs to land here?

Until Mograine drove to this side in a carriage, Arthas still couldn't think of any results.He shook his head, greeted Frostmourne and got into the carriage. There, Muradin had jumped onto the war sheep impatiently, urging his mount to run away due to the south, and Mograine urged that too. Eight pack horses marched towards the Sador Bridge at full speed.

In the carriage, when Arthas and Frostmourne came in, Vereesa was already holding her quiver, leaning on the backrest of the soft couch and dozing off-the poor high elf ranger didn't sleep well last night , In the morning when I was dozing off in the camp of the Archmage Antonidas, I had a beautiful dream again; I was just on the post in the middle of the night, and I had to drag my tired body to help Mograine prepare the carriage... With the holy light on, Arthas himself felt a little sorry for Vereesa.

Vereesa sat opposite Alsace, with a pretty and exquisite face, not the slightest loss of color due to the fatigue of the journey.The carriage of the Lordaeron royal family was originally stable enough, but now Mograine has increased the speed to the extreme, so a slight bump can be felt in the carriage.

With the vibration of the carriage, Vereesa's little head was swelled bit by bit, and with the sound of even long breathing, the small green hills on his chest undulated slightly.As if he noticed that Arthas was observing Vereesa, Frostmourne hugged Arthas to his lap with some dissatisfaction, and unceremoniously covered the owner's eyes with his hands.

Arthas didn't say anything, quietly leaning on the soft body of Frostmourne.In the afternoon, Frostmourne forced Arthas to take a good night's sleep for evil purposes in order to facilitate the night and the owner... Therefore, Arthas is not tired now.

The real purpose of the orc who had not yet figured out, like a lingering shadow, lingered in Arthas' heart.In the dimness, he seemed to be able to see the face of an orc who couldn't see his appearance but was vaguely cunning and evil, showing himself a mocking smile.Shaking his head, Arthas had to admit that the leader of the orc was indeed a difficult opponent.In the original time stream, he was still young when these things happened, and he didn't experience this pressure positively. Now think about it, his father and Sir Anduin Lothar are really good enough commanders.

Although Frostmourne did not really get what he wanted tonight, it is already in the intimate relationship with the owner, far surpassing those women with big/chest/breast and small/chest/breasts. This makes Little Magic Sword very good. happy.She embraced her master’s tiny body with one hand, and gently stroked Alsace’s hair with the other, but she was thinking—the master’s things tasted weird, and you have to remember next time. Don't swallow it in your stomach, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable!

This night, Alsace’s experience was also considered rich-first he was stimulated by Thrall’s death, and broke out in front of Vereesa; then he hid in the carriage with Frostmourne and did shameful things. , Was smashed by Vereesa and... "erupted" again; and then saw Muradin Bronzebeard, emotions erupted again; speculated that Dun Modo Fortress was at risk of losing defense, and Arthas...

It has erupted so many times in succession, which is considered a test for Alsace. Gradually, the little prince leaned on Frostmourne and fell asleep until he was awakened by the sound of Mograine tapping the carriage wall. : "His Royal Highness Prince Alsace, the Sador Bridge is in front of you."

Arthas understood what Mograine meant.This is the territory of Stromgarde, not Lordaeron, and at the junction of the Thador Bridge and the Arathi Highlands, the Kingdom of Stromgarde has accumulated a lot of troops here, even if it is outside the legion station, they also It is easy to hit the outpost of Stromgarde’s army.

Alsace thought for a while, and opened the partition on the front wall of the carriage.Muradin was riding on the war sheep, desperately slapped the hip/back of the mount with his palm, hoping to urge the war sheep to speed up.Arthas said to Mograine: "Go straight ahead. After all, the threat of the orc army mainly comes from the front. The army of Stromgarde should not focus on the Arathi Highlands."

Mograine received Alsace's order and did not slow down the carriage.This luxurious, eight-horse horse-drawn carriage, and Muradin's one man and one sheep, soon approached the Stromgarde Kingdom Barracks on the side of the Sador Bridge.

Outside the barracks, Alsace and his party were finally stopped.A small group of soldiers on patrol nervously surrounded Alsace's carriage.Of course, they won’t do anything. The gorgeous carriage from the inland means that there must be a high noble in it; plus a dwarf riding a war sheep, even if the captain of this patrol is stupid, he understands This is not something you can handle without authorization.

But Arthas was not satisfied with this. If he delays for a minute, the danger of Dun Modr Fortress will increase several times.The little prince opened the door of the carriage, got out of the carriage, and stood on the ground, showing the majesty of being a prince: "I am the prince of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. I have important military sentiments here. Who is the leader here? Take me to see your commander right away."

In the silence of the surrounding soldiers, a middle-aged officer stood up from the crowd, with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "I have sent someone to notify Prince Danas, your identities... cannot be confirmed yet, please Please wait here for a while."

Chapter 167-Dana Stolbain

The officer was also very embarrassed. Although he knew that the person in the carriage must be a great noble from the inland, plus the familiar dwarf next to him, he knew that there must be an emergency military situation in it. After all, the war sheep was Almost foaming at the mouth on the ground.However, Prince Danas had just recently fallen asleep, and he was so rash to lead a group of unidentified people into his camp.

Arthas shook his head, greeted the Frostmourne in the carriage, and Vereesa, who had just woke up with a confused expression on his face, and solemnly said to the Stromgarde officer: "The military situation is urgent. Regarding the overall changes in the battle against the orcs, I cannot disclose the specifics here, so as not to cause panic. But you must take me to see your commander now, otherwise...you may be punished for treason."

Arthas did not hesitate to intimidate the officer in front of him.The officer was also taken aback—so serious?You know, the crime of treason is going to be on the gallows!Really unwilling to take this responsibility, the officer finally decided that he would rather offend His Royal Highness Prince Danas than let his head take risks.

Seeing that all the people in the carriage got out of the carriage, they must also understand that such carriages are not allowed in the barracks. The officer no longer hesitated and said, "Well, you can follow me." After that, he gestured. The soldiers under his men went to set up Alsace's carriage and Muradin's war sheep, took the rest of them, carefully surrounded Arthas and his party, and led them to the depths of the camp.

Arthas followed the officer, walking quickly while looking at the station of Stromgarde troops.After a few glances, Arthas also had to sigh, although the civil administration is not very good, but the army of the Kingdom of Stromgarde is really well-trained.

Even if they were stationed at the northern end of the Thador Bridge, which is a little bit behind Dun Mod Fortress, the army here did not give up the necessary measures for camping.The sharpened wooden fence, the movable giant ballista, and the tall arrow tower made Arthas a little relieved-even if the Dun Modr Fortress fell, it could quickly become a reliable line of defense.

The garrison of the Kingdom of Stromgarde here is not rare. Arthas and the others walked for a long time before they passed through the encircled tents and came to the center of the camp.When he reached his destination, Alsace had a question in his heart, and finally couldn't help but ask the officer: "Have you always maintained such a high level of vigilance? I think the people who are still active in the camp are too too much?"

When any well-trained army sets up a camp, there will be some patrols patrolling back and forth in the camp so as to be able to deal with emergencies, such as enemy attacks or deserters.But in this camp, there seem to be too many such soldiers.

Although it is impossible to accurately judge the current time only by relying on the bimonthly in the sky, Arthas can at least know that it may be almost three in the morning. So many soldiers are not going to sleep, but are arranging their weapons and armor. It's a little strange; besides, most of the soldiers are not patrolling, but are assembled in place, and even in some places, the tents have been put away, replaced by small squares-this looks like... The same as preparing for war.

The officer did not turn his head, but replied respectfully: "That's it, Prince Danas found that there is something wrong with the dwarf fortress opposite, so let us prepare for the battle." Muradin followed. After this, he asked quickly: "What's wrong? What's going on in Dun Modr Fort?"

Arthas was also a little nervous-is he still a step late?But the officer was responsible for patrolling the rear of the camp, and he didn't know the specifics. He couldn't make a difference. Anxious Muradin jumped.Fortunately, this question was quickly answered. In the center of the camp, Alsace and another group of heavily armed Stromgarde soldiers collided head-on.

"Kyle, are these the people who broke into the barracks you were talking about?" The middle-aged officer who was headed across from him had a half-bald hairstyle similar to Anduin Lothar, and his sturdy body was covered with standard plate armor. Stromgarde tabard with a red cover.The officer leading Alsace and his party quickly replied: "His Royal Highness, Prince Danas, is this group of people. They said there is something important..."

"Okay, I see. Go and continue your mission." The middle-aged bald officer interrupted Kyle, indicating that he can leave.Kyle saluted respectfully, turned and left, and his patrol team followed.Arthas didn't speak, but looked up and down the middle-aged bald officer. His brown beard and hair reminded him of a prince of the Kingdom of Stromgard, Garin Torbay, whom he had just met not long ago. Yep.

Soon, Alsace’s guess was verified, and the bald officer said with a serious face: “I am the commander here, the commander of the Stromgarde Militia Corps, Danas Trollbane. Who are you? , Why did you break into my barracks?" Muradin didn’t have time to play the game of telling each other’s names, stepped in front of the bald officer, and shouted: "I’m Muradin, I just left here yesterday. I asked You, is there anything wrong with Fort Dun Mod?"

Danath Trollbane froze for a moment, as if he was identifying the dwarf in front of him.But well... in the eyes of humans, most dwarves look alike, with rough skin, huge rosacea, and a big beard, which makes him unable to tell who this dwarf is.

Yesterday, a team of dwarves passed by here and went to the interior of Arathi Highlands. Although Danas didn't meet these dwarves yesterday, he still knew about it.After hearing Muradin's words, Danas let go of his guard, and said anxiously: "Do you also think something is wrong with the Dun Modd Fortress opposite?"

After listening to Danas, even though it is still unclear what the status of the "Torbane" legion commander is in Stromgarde and what is the relationship with Prince Garin, Arthas still showed his identity. And concerns about the possible fall of Dun Morogh Fort: "Danas... Legion Commander, I am the Prince of Lordaeron, Arthas Menethil. This is Muradin Bronzebeard of Ironforge , The younger brother of King Magni. We met together on the Arathi Highlands. I am now a little worried that the opposite Dun Modr Fortress may be very fast, and may even be attacked by orcs. I hope you can dispatch enough troops to help Muradin defended Dun Modr fortress."

Chapter One Hundred And Sixty Eight

After hearing Alsace’s words, Danas said: "Is it so serious? I also think that there is something wrong with the fortress of Dun Modd today. From the beginning of the night, there has been noisy, singing and noise can even be here. I heard it clearly. But not long ago, the sound seemed to have stopped. I sent soldiers there to ask if there was anything unusual, and no one answered me. The fortress gate toward this side was closed tightly, and my people could not get in. Go. That's why I ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle. But... why do you say that the orcs might attack there? What happened to Dun Modr?"

Arthas had a bad heart--it was noisy at first, it must be the dwarf warriors there celebrating the Wine Festival; now that there is no sound, it must be that they are all drunk and screaming and sleeping; even this Everyone could feel the change in voice. If the orcs were paying attention to Dun Modr Fort, they would definitely be able to tell that the dwarves were already drunk, and they would probably launch surprise attacks soon.

Thinking of this, Arthas said anxiously: "Danas Legion Commander, there is no time to explain, the orcs may launch an attack on Dun Modr Fortress immediately. I hope you can gather your troops and enter Dun Mod Fortress. , I hope there is not enough time to take over the city defense there."

Facing Alsace’s request, Danas hesitated for a while, and immediately issued an order: "Yes, it just so happens that my soldiers have also been mobilized. Ricks, you immediately mobilize five thousand people, and the assembly is complete. After that, he set off for Dun Mod Fort, and everyone else mobilized, ready to support at any time."

Following Danath's order, a burly soldier next to him paid a military salute and quickly ran to the largest and neatest square in the camp.Danas immediately said to Arthas: "Alsace...Prince, since the situation is urgent, I will go to Dun Modr fortress to see the situation in person. As for why this is the case... You are willing to follow me and give it to me. Explain?"

Danas asked for a reason. The identity of the kid in front of him has not been confirmed, but it is 80% true.But even if it is really the prince of Lordaeron, it is enough to run here to inform him of the changes in his military situation. It is basically impossible for him to risk himself to Dun Modr fortress, but Dana Si decided to give it a try, because it was hard for him to imagine that the dwarf who was wheezing and drunk could explain to himself why the situation had become like this.

To Danath’s surprise, the little boy quickly agreed to his request: "No problem, Commander Danas, please." Danas gave Alsace a deep look and turned to Walk quickly to the end of the Thador Bridge-the distance from here to Dun Morogh Fortress is not long. Instead of preparing for the horse, it is better to walk straight over.
