My Frostmourne can't be so cute

"But, Your Majesty..." De Jong raised his head, wanting to argue about something-recruiting women and children is a helpless move, but now the defense force in Stromgarde is seriously insufficient, this is also a helpless move in the next move!

"Nothing but, well, Captain De Jong, you can leave, the guarding of the city wall is left to you, and I have something to deal with." King Thoras waved his hand, indicating that De Jong can retreat Up.

The captain of the guard was stunned for a moment-there is still something to deal with?Shouldn't His Majesty the King leave Stromgarde quickly at this time?He...but De Jong didn't say much. Since His Majesty the King used this tone to let himself go, it meant that he had to leave.

De Jong bowed his head and saluted King Thoras, then stood up, turned and left the king's bedroom.Soon, the same rapid footsteps as when he came again sounded in the promenade, and gradually disappeared into the distance.

In the room, King Thoras sat back on his soft chair again, his expression remained the same as before, and he could not see any change; but Kurbank was familiar with the owner of Stromgarde, and he knew that even this majestic The king of, at this time, his heart is also full of fear-no one wants to be the second Lion Wrynn.

"Kurban, order all the Griffin messengers to leave Stromgarde in two parts. Half along the road from Stromgarde to Nanhai Town go west to find Terenas and Lothar's troops, and the other half go east to find Danas, tell them the news that Stromgarde was besieged by orcs." After a brief silence, King Thoras issued his first order.

"Your Majesty the Emperor." When there were no outsiders, Kurbank's name for Thoras was restored to a unique "sign" between the two. "Do you really want to send all the Griffins? If you ride now Griffin leaves Stromgarde..."

Although Kurbank thought he would not escape Stromgarde out of his own understanding of Thoras, this does not mean that he would not give advice in this regard, and Thoras refused as he expected. "No, Stromgarde is a city that will never fall, at least as long as I am alive."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor." Kurbanke nodded and asked again, "Is it really necessary to lift the levy order issued by De Jong? If you want to defend Stromgarde, the soldiers in the city may..."

"There is no need to rely on women and children. The reason why we fight is to protect their safety. If they are also allowed to join the fight, what is the point of fighting?" King Thoras refused.

"But, if you can't hold Stromgarde, after all..." Kurbanke raised an objection rare, but was interrupted by King Thoras waved his hand: "If that time comes, they will ask for more blessings. Right."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor." Kurbanke nodded and was about to retreat, but when he walked to the door of the room, he was stopped by King Thoras again: "By the way, Kurbanke, send a A griffon messenger went to Dunhold Castle and told Garlin there to let him go to Dalaran as my messenger, and asked the Kirin Tor Council to dispatch some battle mages to the Sador Bridge to support Dalaran. Nath’s defense. Remember, just saying this is enough, do you know what I mean?"

"I understand, Your Majesty the Emperor." Kurbanke turned around, bowed slightly, then left the room, and closed the door - does this last order mean that Prince Garlin would stay away from Stromgarde?Send him to Dalaran without telling him the fact that Stromgarde is facing a siege... Isn't even the King himself confident in holding Stromgarde?

In the enclosed room, Thoras let out a long sigh of relief-everything that should be arranged was arranged, and the rest was dependent on the blessing of the Holy Light.Based on his own understanding of Terenas, although he is a kind monarch, he is by no means a person who likes to procrastinate. While making an entry request to himself, Lordaeron’s army will definitely not wait in Nanhai Town. ; Although I don’t know how the orcs suddenly appeared outside Stromgarde, Danas has always been stable. His line of defense cannot be broken by the orcs silently, so the orcs must have bypassed him... although now Stromgarde’s defensive strength is insufficient, but it should be able to last for a while, as long as the reinforcements of Lordaeron and Danath arrive in time, this battle... there is still a fight!

Thinking quickly about the current situation in his heart, King Thoras was also strengthening his confidence.Finally, his eyes were no longer confused, and the king picked up the knife and fork on the plate again-come on, after eating this supper, it's time to move your muscles!

In the middle of the night in Stromgarde, a well-dressed soldier with a gong in his hand, while violently tapping, ran across the street quickly, their stern calls pierced the otherwise silent night sky: "Emergency mobilization order! Emergency mobilization order! All adult men took up weapons to report in the city center. Others stayed at home and do not come out. Repeat, all men took up weapons to report to the city center. Others stay at home and do not come out! Urgent Mobilization order! Urgent mobilization order!..."

Although the news of the orc soldiers approaching the city could not be hidden from the residents in the city, De Jong was not stupid enough to spread such news at this time, causing the whole city to become a mess.Even so, the residential areas of Stromgarde, whether in aristocratic mansions or common people's houses, are still alive.

The men hurriedly put on their clothes, the women rubbed their sleepy eyes and shook the lights for their husbands; the children were awakened and cried out; and the cries of the messengers who were still running back and forth, Let Stromgarde suddenly see the room boiling.With the blue and white bi-moon light, the disheveled men dragged their long shadows toward the city center. At this moment, no one knew that the shadow of death was dancing in the sky with a grinning smile.(To be continued.)

Chapter 320 Siege

"Honorable Doomhammer, are you going to attack that castle?" The chief of the Blood Cave Clan Kilrogg? Deadeye stood on a small hill in Arathi Highlands, his only one eye flashing red, looking far away The magnificent fortress that suddenly became turbulent.

Until now Kilrogg didn't believe that he could stand on this northern subcontinent so easily. Even if his feet did step on a solid hillside, he still felt incredible.

This is the end, who will miss the Destroyer Blackham who died in Orgrim's hands?Whoever can bring victory to the tribe, Kilrogg will follow whose footsteps.

There is no need to conduct beach landing operations in Nanhai Town with a well-trained human navy, and no need to attack the towering walls of Dun Modd Fortress. Just build a bridge formed by the Frost Road on the narrow sea to pass the human warning. Line, deep into their hinterland, approaching their royal city.

Now think about it, the principle of the entire combat plan is not complicated-the waters full of reefs, humans did not arrange military guards, and even fishermen would not live nearby, which also gave the orc army very good Concealment; but just as I didn't know that the dwarves would drink all night at the Wine Festival, I didn't expect to use the death knights' poor and weak ability to control frost to actually build an ice road on the sea.

Thinking of this, Kilrogg looked in front of him, where Orgrim Doomhammer, the warchief of the Horde, wore that black plate armor and a legendary weapon shining with light—a warhammer carried on him. On his shoulders-this is also the origin of his name.

"I don't know, Kilrogg." Orgrim turned around, with a strange smile on his face.

"I don't know?" Kilrogg repeated Orgrim's words-he was very puzzled. A wise man like Orgrim would be confused?

"There are many choices, Kilrogg, we have a lot of choices..." Orgrim patted Kilrogg on the shoulder, and said with some emotion.

"From here, to the southwest, is the northern end of the Thador Bridge." Orgrim pointed at a distance with his hand, and regardless of whether Kilrogg's mind was like him, he knew the terrain of this continent well, maybe He didn't really want to instruct Kilrogg to understand the future direction. He just wanted to find someone of his kind who didn't seem so stupid to share his countless tricks.

"If it goes well, Zuherd and Grom should have taken the Dun Modr Fortress at this time; but next, they will face fierce resistance from the human army, even with the help of the red dragon, and want to break through. The line of defense there is not easy. Therefore, our first choice is to go south to help them, flanking on both sides, capturing the Sador Bridge as soon as possible, and opening up the passage between the two subcontinents." Orgrim said His first choice.

Kilrogg thought about it. Although he didn't know much about the terrain, he also roughly understood the meaning of this strategic plan.Kilrogg thinks this is a good combat plan-humans have a vast territory on this continent, and there are many castles that are difficult to attack; large siege equipment cannot pass the Frost Road, and the orcs have only some The supplies are also left in the Palatine Bay. If the Sador Bridge can be occupied, the subsequent military operations will be much more convenient.But listening to Orgrim's meaning, he doesn't seem to want to implement this plan?

"This was a good plan at first, but now there is a little accident... I think you remember that our army was discovered by a human outpost not long ago." Orgrim sighed and shook it. Shaking his head.

Kilrogg certainly remembered-just after they landed on this northern subcontinent through the Frost Road, they had not traveled far before they found a human outpost.Although the roaring orc warriors quickly tore the human soldiers in the outpost to pieces, they did not have time to stop the humans from lighting the beacon on the top of the outpost tower before they died.

"From here to the Thador Bridge, we will have to travel for a while, but during this time, the human griffon messengers can spread the news of our landing throughout each of their kingdoms. Even if we can quickly get through the Thador But in this barren land, we can't get any supplies. Eventually, our soldiers will... starve to death." Orgrim spread his hands and gestured helplessly.

"So, what about the second option?" Kilrogg asked quickly.

"The second option is to attack the previous castle below. This is Stromgarde, the capital of a human kingdom, and the only fortress that can be held on this land. Occupying here, we will get new supplies. Human beings will become our slaves and make all kinds of equipment for us. Of course, when necessary, they can also become our...food. At that time, we have the capital to consume, and we only need to hold on here firmly and delay If the humans want to support the reinforcements of the Sador Bridge, then Zuherd and Grom will eventually get through the Sador Bridge with the help of the red dragon. After meeting, we can pass through the last human defense. Thoradin’s Wall. Behind that wall is the most prosperous Hillsbrad Hills, where we can get food and supplies, and after that, if it goes well, we will occupy the entire Azer Russ." Orgrim said another option.

"No matter how many choices you have, I only hope that your decision can satisfy my people's desire for killing." The troll emperor Zujin didn't know when he came to this hill, his face was still covered by a veil, his left shoulder The wound on the broken arm was also bandaged—only Orgrim knew that he had recreated the wound before crossing the sea—the fanatical troll emperor regenerated his left arm, and then cut it again. Got it.

"Then respected Doomhammer, which option would you choose?" Kilrogg asked curiously. He really couldn't tell the pros and cons of the two options-the first option was a bit tight in terms of time, and the first The two schemes are even more difficult to implement-the fortress in front of it is not that easy to occupy, especially when the orc army does not carry any siege equipment.

"I choose the third." A weird smile appeared on the corner of Orgrim's mouth.

"The third? What is the third option?" Kilrogg asked inexplicably.

Orgrim did not answer.In Kilrogg's surprised gaze, the orc warchief turned around and watched with the moonlight of blue and white as a large black spot suddenly soared from Stromgarde in the distance, muttering: "Fly. , Fly, hope you can reach your destination safely, my messengers." (To be continued.)

Chapter 321 What to do with people outside the city

"Open the city gate and let us go out!"... "Yes, open the city gate, and if you don't open it again, we will do it ourselves!" Inside Stromgarde, at the confined city gate, a group of brawny men wearing poor-quality leather or mail armor Gathered in a group and rushed to the Stromgarde palace guards that prevented them from opening the city gate.

"Stop it, stop it! What are you doing?" De Jong, captain of the court guard of the Kingdom of Stromgarde, took dozens of guards, and ran down from the top of the city angrily, and saw this group of people shouting. The brawny man froze for a moment, and then his face became more angry, "Robin, what are you doing?"

Seeing the dazzling two-handed swords and spears in the hands of the court guards, the brawny men shrank back in unison. Only one middle-aged man with inconvenient legs and feet did not retreat. Seeing De Jong, he dragged a lame instead. He took two steps forward with his legs, straightened his strong chest, and said loudly, "De Jong, you just came here, but I want to ask you, what are you doing?"

"Ask me? Ask me what I do? Robin, your leg is crippled, and your brain is crippled!" De Jong changed his low eyebrows in front of King Thoras, and he reprimanded the man unceremoniously. An acquaintance called "Robin".

"Okay, I ask you, De Jong, did an orc hit him?" Robin stretched out a hand and pointed to the city gate behind De Jong.

"Yes!" De Jong didn't conceal the slightest--this kind of thing can't be concealed, so I might as well admit it cleanly, "That's why I want to ask Robin what on earth are you going to do? Are you scared? Run away? Are you worthy of the Lord earl?"

The man in front of him, Robin, was De Jong’s former comrade-in-arms. The two of them served in the military under the hands of Earl of Tarth. In a battle against the bandits, Robin was injured in a leg and could not continue to be Bing, after being transferred to a civilian position, was squeezed out by his colleagues because of his bad temper and poor popularity, and eventually resigned in anger.

The man on one leg is in Stromgarde, a country where military power is supreme.It can be described as "difficult to live".Fortunately, Earl Tarth was nostalgic and hired Robin to be his gardener, which was considered an income to support his family.Lord Earl passed away a few years ago.The eldest son of Lord Earl inherited the title and did not have any prejudice against the old people left by his father. He continued to hire Robin as their gardener. De Jong knew all these things.

Even De Jong himself was deeply favored by Count Tas.If it hadn't been for the recommendation of Lord Earl, it would be difficult for De Jong to sit in his current seat.De Jong has always respected Lord Earl, even though his own status soon surpassed Earl Tarth, he still respected Lord Earl's status as a subordinate.This is also officially the case, De Jong hated Robin's behavior at this time.

Since the news of the fall of Stormwind spread to the northern subcontinent, the Kingdom of Stromgarde has been expanding its forces, and almost all adult combative males have been absorbed into the army.So now, the man De Jong can mobilize in Stromgarde.Most of them were former veterans like Robin who were unable to perform military service due to disability or other reasons, and turned to be the servants of the nobles to beg for food.

"Afraid? I'm pooh! Although my legs are broken, but my hands are still there, saying I'm afraid of orcs? My old man, I haven't rusted enough to cut through the throats of the green-skinned boys!" Robin seemed After receiving a huge insult, he slapped the hilt of the sword sharply on his waist, and loudly refuted De Jong's words-in fact, this is also true. For the man on the Arathi Highlands, he was described as a "coward" It makes him more uncomfortable than killing him.

"Then what are you doing? I called you to come here. It was for you to help defend the city, but you made trouble for me? Do you know what you are doing? I tell you Robin, you are disobeying the military order , Gather the crowd to change. Do you want to be the internal response of the orcs?" After spending a few years in the aristocratic circle, De Jong became a bit expensive, and he gave Robin a big hat of "surrendering to the enemy and traitorously".

"I pooh!" Robin spit on the ground unceremoniously, and said to De Jong mockingly, "Don't talk about this with me, I will kill the orcs later. I am definitely not worse than you! I Knowing that you are busy building the fortifications that defend the city and don't have time to listen to my wordy, I just ask you, De Jong, the people in the city are human, and the people outside the city are not human?"

The brawny men who had been retreating under the pressure of the court guards were all excited by Robin's words. They stopped their retreat and used their flesh and blood breasts to push forward without fear. The weapon.On the contrary, the court guards were a little flustered. They all turned their eyes to their officers-the orc hadn't hit him yet, so should he take his own people first?

However, these court guards did not get any answer from De Jong, and their chief was also silent at this time-yes, what about the people outside the city?What do they do?

Although Stromgarde was built on the basis of Stromgarde, the capital of the Arathor Empire, it was impossible to include all the residents in the high walls.There are also many people who live near Stromgarde but have not entered the city at this moment. More importantly, they don't even know that the orcs are coming.

"People outside the city..." De Jong was silent for a long while before spitting out a few words with difficulty, and it was unsustainable. Is it necessary to say it himself, people outside the city, let them live and die?

"Everyone here has acquaintances living outside the city. Could you tell us to do nothing here, just pray to the holy light not to find them?" Robin saw De Jong's reaction, slightly Slowed down his tone-he was a bit too excited just now, but De Jong's approach is definitely problematic, because he...
