My Frostmourne can't be so cute

No reason, no reason, the orcs launched an attack on humans the moment they came to Azeroth.Now, the revenge of mankind is unstoppable, even if it is paid several times the price of blood, this group of invaders will be killed here.Danas' heart was bleeding, but his face was as hard as iron.

"Persevere. As long as the orcs continue to attack, we will not close this gate." After receiving the report of the casualties for the fifth time, Danath's face was gloomy and he gave his order.The soldier made a military salute in Stromgarde—a simple and firm bow at a forty-five degree angle, and then quickly ran down the city.

Arthas looked at the figure of the messenger who had gone away, and then at Danas's resolute expression-the Prince of Lordaeron noticed the middle-aged bald uncle's constantly twitching mouth.For a marshal, especially a good marshal, every soldier under him is like his son.

And now, Danas is personally sending these children into the meat grinder in the city gate.Waves of attacks by the orcs gave the human army a chance to clean the corpses in the city gate cave. Therefore, the heavy stainless steel gate has not been put down.This also meant that the killing continued in the narrow gate hole.

This messenger was no longer the one who came to report on the battle in the first place.In fact, there is no such thing as a messenger. Every messenger has its own position in the phalanx. The two messengers before this have only completed the mission of two times, and they are in rotation. The forefront of the array.

Arthas hoped that Danath could stop this hard-working behavior and put down the gate of Dun Modr Fortress, but he also understood that if there were no such powerful combat power as Frostmourne intervened, Danath's current approach, Is the most appropriate behavior.This group of orcs are the truly powerful invaders mentioned in the rumors.

Unlike the orcs who were locked up in concentration camps, the orcs of the Frostwolf clan who longed for a peaceful life, and the orcs that Arthas had seen in Northrend, who were almost as civilized as humans, and the chaos before. The chaotic orc soldiers are different. Now the attack on Dun Modr is a truly ruthless and iron-blooded invader.

They can stand in the distance, watch their companions die in batches, and then keep their orderly line; they can still take a neat pace and run towards It has become a city gate hole for meat grinders; they can break their arms, break their thighs, and even when their companions are all killed and their weapons have been destroyed, they still violently use their teeth and claws to attack humans hundreds of times their own. The army launched an offensive.

Faced with such an army, Arthas did not know how to fight against them in the wild.The little prince of Lordaeron understood that if the mysterious power could not allow the orcs to run away like in the original time flow, if humans wanted to win the counterattack, they would have to pay at least ten times more casualties than the orcs.

Therefore, here, a ratio of one to three, or even one to five, can consume the powerful combat power of the orc army. Danath's approach is beyond criticism from a decision-making level.Arthas was not a soft-hearted noble child, but... he always felt that if it were not for the strength of Frostmourne that he had hidden, these brave Stromgarde fighters would not need to make such a sacrifice.

Standing on the city wall, Alsace did not have the courage to imagine the terrible battle in the city gate hole. His hand tightly grasped the skirt corner of Frostmourne, using this behavior to remind himself that his choice was correct-Frost The grief is more important to me than anything else.

Chapter 194 The Dwarves finally wake up

But the brittle sound of gold and iron fighting in the city gate, the sneer of the sharp blade, as if Alsace’s hearing had been improved a hundredfold in an instant, and he kept getting into this Lordaeron’s little boy. In the ears of the prince.As the shouts of killing and howls from the city gate gradually fell silent, Arthas saw that another group of orcs rushed towards the fortress of Dun Modr.

The archers on the wall have stopped shooting at these orcs.Even a trained archer wants to shoot a moving target, it is very difficult, especially when the orcs run faster than humans.At the same time, unless it hits the face, it is difficult to cause fatal injuries to these orcs wearing thick plate armor.

Only Vereesa is still working hard. The rangers of the high elves are the most skilled in Azeroth, but even Vereesa can barely kill three to three before the orcs rush to the city gate. The five orc warriors soon, the noisy shouts of killing rang again in the city gate.

"Enough, Xiaoshuang, you..." Arthas finally couldn't remain silent.Despite his inner conflicts, Arthas was determined not to act as a bystander.These heroic fighters can no longer be allowed to die heroically. Although this is a choice they made voluntarily, when there is a possibility, who wants to be buried in the ground of a foreign land from now on, leaving only one carved on the monument for the relatives in their hometown Where's his name?

But Arthas hadn't finished speaking, and another louder roar interrupted his speech. The voice was so loud that it even covered the noise in the city gate: "Muradin? What's wrong with you? Damn it. Yes, who will tell me what happened?"

Dwarves and humans use different languages, although they can communicate with each other.As soon as he heard this voice, Arthas knew that it was the group of dwarf warriors who were supposed to guard Dun Modr fortress. Someone had awakened.Alsace’s conversation was interrupted, and he did not issue a final command to Frostmourne. Instead, he temporarily suppressed the guilt and self-blame in his heart. When everything was over again, Alsace’s mood happened very much. The big change is that he is no longer the young prince who is passionate about protecting his family and defending the country. Instead, he has become a little concerned about gains and losses.

After a while, two dwarf warriors rushed up to the head of Dun Modr Fortress in disheveled armor, and did not care about the people on the wall. They ran to the side of the wall and looked out at the gap of the battlement, unexpectedly. I blamed each other: "Torun (Isma), I blame you, I said a long time ago, don't drink too much when defending the city, you just don't listen, now it's alright, it almost makes everyone have fun together!"

The two dwarves scolded each other like this, and even had the intention of doing it. This made Danas a little helpless, walked up to them and said: "Two, I am the commander of the Stromgarde Militia Corps, Danas. Trollbane. Are you the commander of this fortress?"

"I am (I am)!" the two dwarves replied together.Danas was stunned for a moment, and the two dwarves said in unison: "He is not (he is not)!" Seeing that they were about to quarrel again.Danas reluctantly dissuaded him, and finally figured out their identities in the clamor of the two dwarves.

The two dwarves, one named Torun Melthammer and the other named Isma Broken Stone, are the commanders of the five thousand dwarven warriors in this fortress.In Danas's eyes, all the dwarves look the same. Fortunately, Torun has a bigger beard among the two dwarves, so it is still barely able to distinguish which one is which.

Regardless of whether the two dwarves were still arguing, Danas quickly explained the current situation to the two dwarves.As Danas was talking, the two dwarves gradually became quiet and their expressions became serious.When Danas finished speaking, Torun bowed to Danas first and said, "Thank you! If you didn't come over and help, my group would be completely finished!"

Isma also thanked Danas like Torun, and this time he was on the same front with Torun.Danas quickly declined-the dwarves have guarded Dun Mod fortress for so long, and humans just replaced them for a whole morning. What is there to be thankful for?

After thanking Danas, Torun frowned and said loudly: "I'm not afraid to tell you, those guys under my hand, I'm afraid it will take a while to wake up!" Isma continued: "Yes, I just When I came up, I saw you in the city gate, fighting fiercely with those green-skinned boys!"

Danas nodded his head-there is no other way, relying on the city fort to fight the battle like this, if you launch a general attack on the orcs in the wild, you don't know how many people will die!Torun thought for a while and said, "No, we have to think of a way to help you, those human lads, they have worked so hard!"

Isma also nodded, glanced around the city wall, and suddenly said: "Why haven't you used those ballistas?" Danas' eyes drifted to those originally placed in Dun Modd with Isma. The ballistas at the head of the fortress, now, in order to make room for the archers to shoot, these ballistas have been removed.

Danas didn't know why his soldiers didn't use these ballistas.The defense work on the city’s head has always been directed by his adjutant Ricks.When Rix saw this, he said quickly: "Those ballistas can be operated, but there are no suitable arrows! We tried a few shots with the long guns, and they couldn't shoot far, so we didn't use them.

Torun looked unpredictable and said, "Oh, you don't even know what these treasures are used for! Isma, go to the cellar and get some crossbow arrows!" Isma Furious, he yelled: "Why should I go? I'm not your subordinate! You should go if you want to go! I am the highest commander here!"

The two dwarves quarreled again, but this time it didn’t take long. Soon, Torun, who lost to Isma in the guessing punch, ran down the city head reluctantly, but Isma looked at him. Fiddling with one of the ballistas proudly.Alsace, Danas and others, although a little inexplicable, they could only stand aside, watching the two dwarves who still exude a strong alcoholic taste in their mouths and bodies.

Soon, Torun happily held two long bundles of crossbow arrows, ran up the city wall bumpy, and threw it at Isma’s feet, making Isma yelling in fright. Lun, you idiot! I told you so many times, be careful, be careful, understand?"

Chapter 195 Killing These Dogs

Torun seemed to realize that his behavior was wrong, so he didn't argue with Isma, but rubbed his hands in excitement, and urged: "Quickly, Isma, blow up the doggies!" Isma hummed. After a few words, the movement of his hand did not stop. He skillfully drew one of the crossbow arrows that Torun had taken and placed it in the groove on the ballista.

Arthas observed the crossbow arrow with interest-why didn't the dwarves put the crossbow arrow in the easy-to-access city head, but stuffed it into the cellar?Taking a closer look, Arthas finally discovered the problem-the crossbow arrows used by the dwarves are completely different from those used by humans.

Ballista, after all, is just a large crossbow. Therefore, the arrow used by humans is only an enlarged arrow; but this dwarf’s crossbow bolt, on the arrow, is tied to a long cylinder, from the bottom of the arrow. Extend to the position of the arrow feathers.Although I don't know what is in this long cylinder, from Torun's words, Alsace can probably guess that it must contain explosives made by dwarves.

No one knows how explosives are made, to be precise, no humans know.The method of making explosives in the Eastern Kingdoms has always been monopolized by the three races of dwarves, dwarfs, and goblins-they have in common that they are short.Of course, the explosives produced by these three races are also different.

The dwarves mainly used to explode the rocks on the road to dig into the ground, so their explosives are relatively stable and controllable. Some merchants and nobles among humans will exchange ale and iron ore from the hands of the Ironforge dwarves A small part of explosives is used to make fireworks.

The explosives of the gnomes are similar to those of the dwarves, but these little guys always like to add some other substances to the explosives, such as toxins and the like, so their explosives are slightly more dangerous.As for the goblins, their explosives are the most dangerous. Although powerful, they are full of uncontrollability. The corpses of the goblin engineers killed by their own explosives can line up around the endless sea every year.

The dwarves’ ballistas are a bit more advanced than those used by humans. Arthas saw that after Isma placed the ballistas, he adjusted the position and height of the arrows with a small ruler standing on the front of the ballistas, and then took them from his arms. He took out the flint and fire sickle, and carefully lit the long lead rope on the crossbow.

"Ahaha, green-skinned boys, taste our anger!" Isma shouted, jumping up and stepping on the trigger on the base of the ballista."Om~" The thick bowstring made of boiled cowhide suddenly tightened. After the crossbow bolt was ejected, it did not stop still, but continued to vibrate slightly, making a small sound.

The crossbow arrow with a burning lead drew an arc in the air, and then... missed?With a "boom", a thick black smoke exploded on the grass outside the fortress of Dun Modd, but the landing point of the crossbow arrow deviated from the orc army quite far, exploding in a clearing, even unable to Cause a trace of chaos to the orderly orc army array.

"Isma, you trash, let me come!" Torun grabbed the flint and scythe in Isma's hands without any explanation, depriving him of the right to continue shooting.Isma seemed a little embarrassed, looking at the complicated gazes of Alsace and others, and said with a dry smile: "Hey...Drink too much, my eyes are a little flowery, hehe..."

Danas held his forehead in his hand-he knew that he shouldn't have any hope for these dwarves, they were really unreliable.But at this moment, Torun Melthammer had already thrown out a second gunpowder arrow fiercely: "Yo ~Guys, my explosives are coming~"

Facts have proved Torun is relatively reliable. The landing point of this crossbow arrow is very accurate. It happened to fall in the middle of the array of orcs. It just happened that another squad was about to launch an attack on Dun Modr Fort. This crossbow arrow disrupted.A huge explosion sounded, and all the orcs looked towards the middle of the battlefield. There, at least two teams of orc warriors were affected by the explosion. Three or five orc warriors were directly torn to pieces by the impact of the explosion. Orc warriors are mostly disabled with missing arms and legs.

"Haha!" Torun laughed with joy, Danas was also a little dumbfounded-he always thought that the dwarves could resist the attack of the orcs at Dun Mod fortress without losing a single soldier because they did not open it. Because of the city gate, I did not expect that these dwarves still have such a powerful weapon in their hands, such a ballista, arranged in the city gate hole, even if the city gate is opened to face the offensive of the orcs, there is no need to be afraid!

The archers on the city’s head were all very happy-just now, the orcs got stuck out of the range of their bows and arrows, making them suffocated. Now, seeing those orcs retreating in a panic, farther. These archers felt the anger in their hearts vent greatly.

Torun Melthammer fired two more crossbow arrows, each of which took away the lives of several orcs. It was not until the orcs' army returned to the woods that Torun took off the crossbow arrows from the ballista with some regrets. , Shook his head and said: "This group of dogs run fast! Now we can't shoot them."

Danath's expression was a little embarrassed-after fighting with the orcs for so long and sacrificing so many warriors, just to consume as much of the orc army as possible, the two dwarves slammed them and drove them all out. Ran.But it's not a bad thing. Soldiers also need to eat and rest near noon.

Danas gave an order to Rix. The adjutant of the militia legion left the fortress of Dun Modr fortress to arrange for the soldiers to clean the battlefield, light the fire and cook and... send the remains of their robes. Go back to the other side of the Thador Bridge, and burn the dead bodies of the orcs.

Nearly 2,000 people were killed in the battle and more than 300 people were seriously injured. They paid such a painful price. After a bloody morning, the militia of Stromgarde killed nearly a thousand orcs.The orc army driven into the distant woods by the ballista did not immediately make a comeback. Smoke rose from the woods, and probably they also needed to eat.

The militiamen in Stromgarde are all carrying dry food, and they only need to boil some hot water in the courtyard to prepare a simple marching meal.The dwarf warriors hadn’t awakened yet. Torun and Isma took some bacon from the cellar and put it in the cauldron of the Stromgarde militia, turning the hot water into a broth—as for the wine...though now It's still a wine festival, but Torun and Isma don't dare to drink too much.

Sit down on the cold bluestone stairs, Alsace and Danas and others had lunch together.Torun and Isma may have just woken up and are uncomfortable, so they did not eat.While biting the dry food, Arthas leaned on Frostmourne's body, thinking about his own thoughts.

Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Six

Interrupted by Torun's loud voice, Arthas temporarily gave up the idea of ​​letting Frostmourne intervene in the battle of the city.The dwarves should wake up gradually. With their help, with the addition of these stocked gunpowder crossbow arrows, the next battle for the city will not be so miserable.

Next, it should be time to complete his mission-Arthas sighed-I don't know if his father has arrived in Nanhai Town, and what is Sir Anduin Lothar's next target for the orcs. Look at.Arthas always had an ominous hunch that the orcs must have a huge conspiracy.

No one knows how many orcs came to Azeroth, but now in the woods outside Dun Modr Fortress, at most 20,000 orcs can be hidden.What about the other orcs?Where did they go?What is the use of the magic runestone that the orcs snatched from Quel'Thalas?In addition to Aiden Pernold of Alterac Castle and Edras Blackmore of Dunhold Castle, are there any other spies who collude with the orcs in the Human Alliance?Arthas felt that there was a huge net covering the future of mankind.

What's more, there has been a lot of time delay in Dunhold Castle and here, and now the outside of the city is occupied by orc army, it will definitely consume more time to reach Grim Batol, where the red dragons are hiding.Alsace decided to say goodbye to Danas after lunch. Many doubts were waiting for him to solve. Let's start with the recent Red Dragon Mist!

Torun and Isma seem to be natural rivals. As long as they are together, it is impossible to get along quietly. These two guys have been noisy and noisy. Arthas felt the Frostmourne leaning against him. The body has begun to tremble slightly.Grasping Frostmourne's hand, Arthas gently soothed his little magic sword.

Vereesa was in a bad mood. Her proud archery skills had repeatedly suffered setbacks, and she was still here now, drinking salty and smelly broth and eating dry cheese.It's not that Vereesa can't live a hard life, and when she was in Quel'Thalas, living supplies were not too abundant.

But Vereesa is different from other high elves, she prefers to eat meat.Like Sister Alleria and Sister Sylvanas, they only like to eat some fruits.Moreover, the dry food carried by these Stromgarde militias is not comparable to those carried by the Knights of the Silver Hand.
