In the town of Nanhai, the old mayor willingly stayed in an inn, because his home was given to the kings and regent of the Stormwind Kingdom, Anduin Lothar.

"Grandpa, why are we staying in a hotel, I want to go home. The little grandson left his familiar environment, tugging at his grandfather's beard in distress.

"Silly boy, what do you know, now that our grandfather and grandson live in a hotel, you will have no worries about food and clothing just by collecting sightseeing fees in the future. Although the old mayor's face was a little hurt by the little grandson, he still smiled and teased his grandson.

"Grandpa, I don't understand what you said, am I stupid!" said the little grandson unhappily.

"Silly boy, you are so smart, how can you be a silly child," the old mayor replied kindly.

However, in the mansion of the mayor's family, the faces of the dignitaries and nobles were not so good-looking.

Three days earlier, Tom Embo's 37th Legion had been heavily wounded by the Orcs heading south, with more than half of them wounded, and was now retreating two hundred miles to gather the remnants and rebuild.

That night, the 74th Special Regiment of Phu Chi Ang was surrounded by an equal number of tribal troops. Yes, in equal quantities. Encircle. After a night of fierce fighting, the 74th Special Corps was completely annihilated, and the commander Ling Pu Zhiang was martyred, with less than double digits of survivors in the 6,000-strong corps. Willy Wong's reinforcements were ambushed during the rescue process, but fortunately most of them withdrew, losing more than 1,000 men.

The only one who can be called the result of the Southwestern Front of the Alliance in the Hillbride theater is the eldest young master of the Barov family, Major General Carlos, who was sent to herd sheep.

Major General Carlos's Independent Corps successfully intercepted the attempt of the southbound tribal army to capture the gate of Soladin while the rear was empty, and severely damaged the morale of the Horde's vanguard, which can be confirmed to include one hundred and fourteen orc corpses and the remains of three red dragons. That night, Major General Carlos led an elite team to secretly infiltrate the orc camp, captured important people of the tribe, and burned a large number of tribal military supplies, making outstanding achievements.

Admiral Carlos's remarkable performance highlighted the incompetence of the other corps of the Alliance's Southwestern Front in the Hillbride theater of operations.

Two days ago, the General Headquarters of the Coalition Forces planned a coordinated sea and land assault operation against the coastal battalions of the tribal cross-sea combat units. More than 80,000 people in the alliance and the tribe fought for a day and a night in a small area of less than 20 square kilometers, and finally the alliance retreated.

According to the post-war statistical assessment, the tribal casualties were estimated to be around 4,000, while the alliance lost 21,552 casualties, and the wounded count was not completed.

"Your Majesty, can you face Anduin Lothar now, he is not a liar. Lothar smiled and glanced angrily at the crowd.

"Your Excellency the Grand Duke is strict, we have never doubted your character, why did Your Excellency say this. Jean Greymayne asked, puzzled.

"Anduin Lothar is not a liar, so Anduin Lothar is an honest man, right? Lothar ignored the words of the Kyrgyz king.

"My friend, there are no outsiders, no soldiers, no guards here, just us old things, just say anything, don't beat around the bush. "Terenas Minechr II saw the clue.

"Grand Duke, please speak up, if you have something to say. Even after a long day's rest, Aiden Pirenod looked terrified. Although the Alterac cavalry received the help of all the members of the Alliance, His Majesty the King was still terrified and uneasy, so that his voice was a little slurred.

"Guys, I'm going to be straight?" Lothar glanced at the crowd again.

"If you have something to say, you have ......" Dalin Prodmore said in a tone of impulsiveness as he lost his son, but in the face of Anduin Lothar, the grieving and angry father suppressed his anger.

"There is no doubt that the kingdoms of Lordaeron are far more powerful than the kingdoms of Stormwind. After a year of integration, the alliance army in front of us is also extremely powerful. But now the strictest thing is that your majesty does not trust me as the commander-in-chief. ”

Lothar finished speaking and pressed down on her palm.

"Please don't interrupt me. Although you have elected me to preside over the preparations of the Alliance, you have elected me to the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Alliance. But you don't trust me. And my weakness and retreat were the main reason for the defeat of this campaign. ”

"My friend, please don't do this, your words make everyone embarrassed. Terenus whispered in pain.

"I hope that the alliance army will be under unified command, and everyone will be reluctant to command their own army; I hope that the alliance army will lose a lot of money, and everyone will not be willing to pay for recruiting new soldiers and purchasing weapons and equipment; I do not agree with this reckless campaign, and you will join forces to put pressure on me. So I compromised, I backed down. So more than 20,000 good men of mankind are sleeping in the wilderness, and the orcs may be shaving the flesh of our fallen warriors to make soup!"

Lothar's language was stirring.

"Whenever I think about it, I can't sleep. ”

"I'm sorry that my anger and pain have affected my judgment, and you are right, Sir Lothar, and I apologize to you. Daylin Prodmore began to regret his rash decision as he thought of ordering the men of Kul Tiras to attack the Horde against the threat of the Red Dragon.

"The orc horde is not an enemy that can be defeated overnight, and we must be united. ”

Lothar clenched her fists.

"If you trust me, please trust me too. The fall of Stormwind is a wound in my heart that will never heal, and Anduin Lothar vows never to let the same tragedy unfold in Lordaeron, so lend me your power, everyone!"

"All the people of the kingdom of Lordaeron will unconditionally accept the command of Anduin Lothar, a descendant of Araso. Terenus Minahir II stated.

"All the people of the kingdom of Gilneth will unconditionally accept the command of Anduin Lothar, a descendant of Aratho. Jean Greymayne stated.

"All the people of Alterac will unconditionally accept the command of Anduin Lothar, a descendant of Arathso. Aiden Pirenod stated.

"The Union Navy is under the command of the Generalissimo. Daillin Prodmore drew his sword, the Tideblade, and lowered it flat, the tip of the sword hanging to the ground, in submission.

Solas Bertone was in charge of Arathi's overall battle at Riptide Castle, and Biglas Bertone was organizing a defensive operation at the Saldo Bridge, so the Berton family was not represented here and now.

However, the first to enter a state of all-out war were the Bertoun family of Rapids, who were loyal supporters of Lothar.

"In that case, everyone cheered up. The Red Dragons are our unexpected enemies, and without dealing with these big reptiles, we can't defeat the Horde at all. Antonidas, the speaker of the Dalaran Mage Council, has already understood the plight of the Alliance, and at most, the day after tomorrow, his plenipotentiary representative, the deputy speaker of the Dalaran Mage Council, Master Kel'thugad, will lead Dalaran's mage reinforcements to Nanhai Town by boat. Alex Barov also informed me that representatives of the Eagle's Nest Brute Hammer Dwarves will also be coming to Nanhai Town for talks in the near future. ”

Lothar's spirits suddenly lifted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be sad anymore, let the future allies see that they still think that the sky is going to fall, and they don't know how much chaos they will cause when they are sent back to China. Although the losses are heavy, we must force this wave not to lose!"

For political and propaganda reasons, the kings present at Anduin Lothar used their own unique skill [Forcibly Not Lose] for their own people.
