My Frostmourne can't be so cute

Although on the Arathi Highlands, apart from the owner of Stromgarde, it seems that no forces have enough money and materials to raise such a large number of griffins, but the news from these griffin messengers is really unbelievable. Before Duin Lothar and others arrive here, King Terenas must first confirm whether this news is true.

Galin took the note and looked at it carefully with the torch handed by the guards and the moonlight.Then affirmatively said: "This seal is indeed my father's seal; although the words on it are not my father's handwriting, I can be sure that they are from the pen of my father's housekeeper Kurbanke, who has always been with my father. Inseparable, these notes should be written on my father's order."

Galin was right.Because of the wide-spreading method of sending messengers, it was naturally impossible for King Thoras to write these notes himself, so Kurbanke himself wrote more than a dozen notes for help with the same content, stamped with King Thoras’ private seal. , Handed over to the griffon messengers to take it out.

"I understand." It seems that the things mentioned in these letters of help are true...King Terenas stroked the beard on his chin, and then confronted the leader who had just been grabbed by the collar of Prince Garlin. Said the Griffin messenger."What else does your Majesty King Thoras want you to convey? Tell us everything you know."

While talking, Anduin Lothar brought Wrynn and a few core members of the Brotherhood of Iron Horses and galloped along the edge of the road. Not far behind them, Uther and Ji were also galloping. A paladin of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

"Your Majesty King Terenas!" Sir Anduin Lothar has been riding his horse to the side of the road where King Terenas and others are located, and then he leaps off the galloping war horse lightly. Strangled the galloping horse; everyone from the Brotherhood of Iron Horses did the same, but Wrynn did not have such a skilled riding skill. After jumping off his horse, he was almost dragged down by the force of the horse. Thanks to Windsor's help, he calmed down. Got his own war horse.

At this time, Uther and others also rushed here, and the paladins jumped off their horses and came to King Terenas to pay tribute to His Majesty the King who had sworn allegiance to him-even though he became a paladin and learned the holy It has been a while, but in the hearts of the paladins who came from the Royal Guard of Lordaeron, the status of King Terenas is still much higher than their head Uther? The Lightbringer.

"Your Majesty King Terenas, what is going on?" On the way here, Anduin Lothar had heard the Lordaeron royal guard give the general situation, but this did not explain his mind at all. The mystery made him even more puzzled—how could it be possible?How could an orc suddenly appear in Arathi Highlands?

Seeing Anduin Lothar, Uther, and others all around, King Terenas nodded to them, then pointed to the Griffin Messenger, and said: "This is just coming from Stromgarde The Griffin messenger, he said that he saw our army and flew down; the order he had originally received was to deliver a message for help in Nanhai Town. He didn’t know much about the specific situation, Sir Lothar , What else do you want to know, just ask him." (To be continued.)

Chapter 339 Extraordinary Meeting

After hearing the words of King Terenas, Anduin Lothar nodded first, then looked at the wilderness by the road, where a dozen griffins were tied together, shaking their feathers and necks restlessly. ——It seems that Stromgarde’s situation is indeed urgent, and so many messengers have been dispatched in one go.

"Has Prince Danath's defense at the northern end of the Thador Bridge been breached?" Anduin Lothar asked his first question—Although there is a coast in the Arathi Highlands adjacent to Nanhai Town, there is It’s all covered with reefs. Even fishing is an impossible luxury. In addition, it’s located in a narrow sea and the currents are extremely turbulent. Even if there are no reefs, ships can’t come to shore, so it’s impossible for orcs to land from there. It was also the conclusion that had been made when the strategy was formulated. Then, the only reason that the orcs appeared was that the Sador Bridge was broken.

"I don't know. His Majesty the King and Lord Kurbank don't know either. But Master Kurbank said that Stromgarde did not receive any news of an attack by orcs from Prince Darnas, Lord Kurbank He thought that Prince Danath’s defense line could not be broken silently by the orcs, so he felt that the orcs had come from another place, and he also sent a signal to the army of Prince Danas for help." Knowing that Anduin Lothar would ask such a question for a long time, the griffon messenger repeated what Kurbanke had taught him before.

"I think so too." Anduin Lothar glanced at King Terenas, nodded and said-confirming that there was no news of the loss of the Sador Bridge, Anduin Lothar was more determined. Based on my previous judgment-you know, the northern end of the Thador Bridge not only gathers all the elite troops of Stromgarde, but the southern end is the famous fortress Dun Modr, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the orcs can attack there silently, They won't be hindered when they go north for the first time, but have already swept the entire continent.

"So where did the orcs come from?" Uther asked with a frown, holding his arms.

"This question is set aside." King Terenas waved his hand and said, "It is not important to investigate where the orcs landed at this time. The important thing is to immediately formulate a strategy to support Stromgarde."

After saying this, King Terenas asked the griffon messenger again: "How many orcs are there? When you left, did they attack?"

"Our scouts did not accurately detect the number of orcs, but can only estimate from a distance to estimate that there are about 50,000. When I left, the orcs did not launch an attack." The griffon messenger answered truthfully.

"Your Majesty King Terenas, have you finished your question? Please send troops to rescue Stromgarde as soon as possible! Most of the soldiers of Stromgarde Kingdom are assembled at the northern end of the Sador Bridge, and my father can use it now The power of defending the city should be no more than a few thousand people. Perhaps the orcs have already begun to attack the city as soon as we speak!" Galin held the memo in his hand, almost crushing the letter paper with his fingers.

The holy light is above, and the worry and fear in Garlin's heart have reached the extreme. He can't imagine how his father can resist ten times as much as his own with only a few thousand court guards. The attack of the Orcs; every time I delay here, the danger of Stromgarde doubles!

"From Stromgarde to here, even the Griffin Courier will take a while...When we arrive, will Stromgarde already..." Uther said in a deep voice--his worries are not unreasonable, just follow common sense. In other words, when the orcs saw Stromgarde launching a griffon messenger for help, for the sake of safety, they would naturally speed up their onslaught of the city. If there were only a few thousand soldiers in the city... Maybe their party rushed to Stromgarde, and Stromgarde has changed ownership. At this time, the exhausted human coalition can defeat the 50,000 orc army in the field?

"What do you mean?" Garin took an angrily step forward, staring at Uther-the previous discussion between King Terenas and Anduin Lothar had already made Garin anxious; it was just that One of these two is a respected old king, and the other is a warrior who has been famous for a long time. Garin also counts on the army in their hands to rescue his father, so it is hard to say anything; but now, maybe Uther is here. Near the North County monastery is the "bringer of light" respected by the commoners, but in the northern subcontinent, he who is not well-known for speaking such words will naturally become the target of the manic Galin.

"Garlin, don't be impulsive, Sir Uther is not malicious." King Terenas stretched out an arm and stopped Garin.

The majesty of Lord Lordaeron stunned Prince Garlin. He did not take any further action, but pleaded bitterly: "Your Majesty King Terenas, my father really can't hold on for long. You should send your troops quickly, I I'm afraid it will be too late!"

King Terenas pondered for a while. In the anxious gaze of Prince Garin, the old king nodded and told the royal guard of Lordaeron beside him: "Bring the letter paper and pen!"

A royal guard of Lordaeron took out folded letter paper, well-sealed ink and a quill pen from the cyst on the side of his saddle, and handed it to King Terenas.

The old king unfolded the letter paper, leaned the letter paper on the horseback of his war horse, and wrote quickly, and then took out his private seal from the pouch around his waist and buckled it under the letter paper.

King Terenas refolded the letter paper and handed it to the Griffin messenger, and ordered: "Separate two people, send this letter to Dalaran, and hand this letter to Antonidas. Mage or Archmage Modra, tell them everything they want to know. Do you understand? Remember, you can only give it to these two people. If you can't find them, go find Mage Khadgar and ask for his help. Apart from these three, I can't tell anyone else what happened in Stromgarde, understand?"

The Griffin Courier nodded, put the letter out of the pocket inside his leather armor, nodded solemnly, and promised: "I will deliver this letter by myself."

King Terenas nodded-the situation in Dalaran is more complicated, the Kirin Tor Council cannot dominate all affairs, and the wizards will always give birth to some strange ideas, such as the one mentioned by Prince Galin The mages who betrayed the Human Alliance, although it was later proved that the real betrayer was Blackmore himself, it is hard to guarantee that these mages would do anything crazy for their so-called research.(To be continued.)

Chapter 340 Asking for Dalaran for Help

The loyalty of the Archmage Antonidas to the Alliance is beyond doubt. The Archmage Modra... King Terenas had some... friendships with the Archmage when he was young, speaking of all Dalaran’s Among the mages, this archmage is the most trusted person by King Terenas.

In addition to these two archmages, the relationship between Khadgar and Lordaeron is the most recent; this archmage who participated in the killing of the Guardian Medivh not only knows many secrets about the invasion of the orcs, but also hates it. Against these intruders.

In addition to these three, the rest of the Dalaran mages, even if they are members of the Kirin Tor Council, King Terenas cannot be completely trusted; one is because they do not understand, and the other is because one of the members of the Kirin Tor Council The Archmage of Kael'thas is the prince of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and the performance of the high elves in this battle, except for Ms. Alleria and her rangers, is really not a reliable ally. .

Seeking help from Dalaran?——Prince Galin was stunned for a moment before he realized that King Terenas was the truly thoughtful person. There was a red dragon in the orc camp. Without the help of Dalaran’s mages, human soldiers could not defeat it. These creatures flying in the sky.

But... Prince Galin's face showed an embarrassed look: "Your Majesty King Terenas, there is no magic circle connected to Dalaran in the city of Stromgarde..."

Ashamed, although it is the most powerful country in the human kingdom, Stromgarde’s financial resources are not complimented; of course, the pure financial resources are not the reason why the Torbane family cannot recruit court mages, but Stromgarde’s role as The main location of the big raid that ended the "Magic Art Revival Era" is still rejected by most of the wizard guilds in Dalaran. Few serious wizards will accept the invitation of Stromgarde to become the court wizard here. This also means that there is no portal magic circle in Stromgarde.

"There is no magic circle?" King Terenas was stunned for a moment and frowned-without a magic circle, the air supremacy was in the hands of the red dragon.Stromgarde is completely dead-which means that if you want to rescue King Thoras, you will mainly rely on ground forces...

"You go now, time is running out." King Terenas did not answer Prince Garin's words.Instead, he nodded to the leading Griffin messenger-since Stromgarde does not have a magic circle, the mages of Dalaran may not be able to rush to the battlefield in time; but the more so, the earlier The transmission of information to Dalaran allowed Archmage Antonidas to prepare.

"Yes." The Griffin messenger nodded and said goodbye to Prince Garin.Then he called one of his companions, untied the griffin that was bound, stepped on his mount, fastened the leather safety belt, and soared into the sky and flew to the west.

"Your Majesty King Terenas, then when will we set off and head towards Stromgarde at full speed?" Prince Galin asked anxiously.

"Leave immediately. But, Garlin, I hope you can return to Stromgarde with these Griffin messengers. Some things are not clear on the letter paper, and you are the best person to convey the message-your father would never doubt it. What you said." King Terenas began arranging Prince Garlin's itinerary.

"Return to Stromgarde? Okay. Okay!" Prince Garin nodded repeatedly-even if King Terenas didn't mention it, he still wanted to go back!Knowing the emptiness of Stromgarde’s defense, Garin could not wait to appear next to his father. For him, confirming the safety of his father is even more important than confirming Stromgarde’s safety.

"Well, Garin, remember, tell King Thoras that we will speed up, but it will take at least an hour to reach Stromgarde, if you can hold on to that time. Leave the rest to us!" Tai Before leaving, King Renas told Garin what he must tell his father.

"One hour...maybe more..." Prince Galin frowned and murmured, feeling a lot of pressure in his heart-three thousand court guards resisted fifty thousand orcs for an hour...even with the barrier of the city wall, It is not an easy task either!

"I understand. Your Majesty King Terenas, I will tell my father what I have said. We will fight to the last minute. For other things, please leave it to you and Sir Lothar." Prince Galin told Terenas The king bowed-Stromgarde’s situation is extremely urgent, if there is more time.He can also gather soldiers and horses everywhere in Arathi Highlands, but now he has not much time left for his father. The only thing he can rely on is the reinforcements of Lordaeron and Stormwind.

"I swear by Menethil's surname that I will not violate my promise." King Terenas solemnly responded-Although the Kingdom of Stromgarde and the Kingdom of Lordaeron are allies, this time Stromgarde’s life was entrusted by the side of Stromgarde; if one’s side arrived at the battlefield later, Stromgarde might become a "camel crushed by the last straw" during that period of time; however, there was no marching incident. Certainly, I can only use vows to comfort Prince Garin's uneasy heart.

"Well, I believe you, Your Majesty King Terenas." Prince Galin nodded, stopped lingering, and turned to the other Griffin messengers who had not been assigned tasks. "You guys, join me. Fly back to Stromgarde... can it be done?"

The griffon is very big, but this creature is not light in weight. The messenger in light armor is already a quota. Garlin is not sure that he has boarded the griffon. This poor creature can still I can't fly; and I can't ride a griffon alone-this thing can't be controlled without training.

"Your Royal Highness, if you and I both take off the armor, it should be enough to support you and return to Stromgarde." While speaking, Prince Garlin could not restrain his eagerness and walked towards the group of griffins; several griffin messengers tightly Following behind his prince, the thinnest among them, while taking off his leather armor, suggested to Prince Galin.

Without paying attention to Prince Garin, who was thinking about how to ride a griffin, King Terenas knew he had to take the time to ask Anduin? What are the strategic measures of Sir Lothar and Uther at this time? the opinion of.

Seeing King Terenas's questioning glance, Uther hesitated for a moment, or said: "Go at full speed... Isn't it too anxious? Not to mention whether King Thoras can defend Stromgarde. For a long time, even if we hold on, our cavalry has expended so much energy and rushed to the battlefield. When the horses and horses are exhausted, they are fighting against an army of more than 50,000 orcs in the wild... The win is not very big."

Chapter Three Hundred and Forty One

PS: Thanks to the book friends who miss the old days and give a reward

Hearing Uther’s concern, Anduin Lothar couldn’t help but nodded—fifteen thousand Lordaeron royal guards, five thousand silver hand knights, three thousand iron horse brotherhoods, plus two thousand highs Elf ranger, the number of orcs is twice that of the human coalition, and they are fighting in the wild...but the situation is not optimistic.

The only advantage that mankind has is the impact of the cavalry horses; and these horses can only get to the battlefield as soon as possible after several hours of raiding, and it is very likely that they will go directly to the battle without time to rest; that way, the only cavalry The impact advantage of the company will die out.

"I understand." King Terenas frowned and said bitterly. "But, do you have a better way, Sir Uther?"

Uther shook his head-there is no better way-the sudden appearance of the orcs made the whole battle take a turn for the worse, and the human alliance without the slightest preparation became extremely passive; without the help of the mages of Dalaran, the number was inferior. Under the circumstance of, it is necessary to have a decisive battle with the orc army with the help of red dragons in advance, no matter how human beings have no chance to win.

"If not, then the whole army will assault and rescue Stromgarde." King Terenas made the decision in this way.
