The encounter between Duin Lothar and Alonthos Faoan is like Liu Bei begging Zhuge Village Woman, or Cao Cao is happy with Mrs. Zou, how can Sun Quan's cave room meet Xiao Qiao. To describe it accurately, the only thing left is to pour soda water into concentrated sulfuric acid.

The two men who were also bald could never forget each other's faces just because they glanced at each other in the crowd.

The acquaintance at the night banquet, the chance encounter in the palace, and the acquaintance in the study made the two have a kind of love for each other.

That night, Anduin Lothar, Terenas Minahir, and Alonthos Fao expressed their opinions in the battle command hall of the palace of Lordaeron, eager to form brothers of the opposite sex.

"According to reliable information, the orc tribe has increased its troops. Both the Ironforge Dwarves and the Nomorigen Gnomes have seen giant humanoid monsters and trolls appear in the orc army. "Terenus placed the wooden orc pieces representing the tribe in the location of the Burning Plains on the map.

"It is impossible for the dwarves to defeat the orc army in the Burning Plains, and their goat knights have no advantage over the orc wolf cavalry. But Magni is a good warrior, and the orcs are delusional in their attempt to capture Ironforge. "Anduin Lothar has placed the dwarven pawns heavily in the position of Ironforge.

"Yes, Ironforge, Nomorigan. It has to be said that this kind of city built on the mountains and underground is a nightmare for the attackers. As long as Ironforge is not lost, it will not be possible for the orcs to be comfortable in the area of Kazmodan, which has bought us precious time. Terenus thought about it and came to this conclusion.

"So, Your Majesty, we should provide the dwarves with supplies, especially food aid. Predictably, the determination of the orc tribe to go north was rock-solid, with Kazmodan being the first step, then the wetlands, and across the strait was the Arathi Heights. We're not ready yet, and while the kings are aware of the devastating power of the orc tribe to human civilization, many people know the orcs as a kind of humanoid brutal beast. I have to say that this is a huge and fatal mistake. It is terrible and stupid for the kings to conscript and pay for it, but they are reluctant to hand over the elite in their hands. I have to say that if we don't put in 12 points of preparation and energy, we are afraid that we will lose this war. And the support for the dwarves will not only buy us time, but also allow the big men of Lordaeron to see what a terrible monster lies in front of the Alliance. Anduin Lothar's words were swift and urgent, and unrelenting.

"Sir Lothar, I've learned about the orcs from other sources, but I'd like to hear you again. Alonsos Fao still couldn't draw a clear picture of the orcs in his mind with the available information.

"I'm sorry this may cause you grief, but if you can, please tell you again, Anduin old friend. Terenas pleaded thoughtfully.

"Strong, savage, bloodthirsty, and smart. ”

Anduin Lothar sighed, walked from the command table to the window, turned his back to the crowd and looked at the deep night sky, and fell into memory.

"If you think that the orcs are ignorant and backward, then you are very wrong. They have a strict social system and a stable social composition. From where a qiē is obvious or not, we can tell if they belong to a clan or not. And the different clans have united to form a large tribe, and this is our enemy.

We are not facing a pack of man-eating beasts, but another civilization whose purpose is to conquer and destroy miè.

Orcs are far stronger than humans, and generally speaking, three human soldiers can defeat one orc, but their rugged tribal civilization has made the tribe open up a gap with us in terms of equipment level, and a hundred Stormwind Royal Guards can easily defeat a hundred orc soldiers. With strong fortresses and fortifications, we managed to keep the orcs at bay in the Black Swamp.

After I dealt with the crisis in Karazhan, the situation deteriorated. The portal connecting the orc homeland to our world has been secured, and a large number of orc reinforcements have secretly come to our world, hiding in the dark swamp. When the generals of Stormwind thought they could wipe out the green-skinned monsters with their elite soldiers and numerical superiority. ”

At this, Anduin Lothar couldn't help but laugh to himself.

"What a cruel reality, five thousand soldiers armed to the teeth in the Stormwind Kingdom surrounded two thousand orcs, thinking it would be a great victory. As a result, when the soldiers in the battle came to their senses, at least 30,000 orcs had completed the counter-encirclement of them. That's right, at least 30,000, and the survivors who escaped by luck did not hesitate to cut off their little fingers in order to prove that they were not lying.

And in the attack and defense of Stormwind, I came to the conclusion that there were at least 50,000 orcs. And when the Alliance is a Tribe, that number can be doubled. ”

Anduin Lothar turned his head and looked at someone he could trust.

"I was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, but I actually had reservations when describing orcs. 100,000 orcs, the number of soldiers alone is almost catching up with the population of the Alterac Kingdom, do you still think that 50,000 Alliance soldiers can guarantee our safety?"

"Anduin Lothar, you have insulted me and underestimated the resolve of the human kingdom. Terenus looked upset.

"I'm sorry. Anduin Lothar bowed and apologized,

"Don't apologize, don't doubt, I'll support you, the two million people of the kingdom of Lordaeron can't support an army of 200,000 people? Terenus suddenly revealed his domineering appearance, shocking the others for a moment.

"Quantity alone is useless, the huge gap in quality is what worries me the most. Anduin Lothar smiled bitterly.

"I want to hear about it. Alonthos Fao's image of an orc grew fuller.

"First of all, the orc shamans and warlock troops. The orcs had far more spellcasters than we had imagined, and Dalaran and Quel'Thalas' reaction to the Alliance was chilling, did they think they could stay out of it?

This was followed by the wolf cavalry. The orcs rode a large wolf with excellent impact and speed, and with the exception of the Alpine horse breed of Alterac, the other horses were at an overwhelming disadvantage when facing the wolf.

Finally, and the most terrifying point. An elite samurai among the orcs. There weren't too many of those with giant blades, and most of them were easy to recognize, as they were red unlike the other orcs. But be warned, it's not like green orcs don't have these guys, so don't get this misconception.

Those with giant blades generally don't like to wear through too much armor, but their agile movements and super attack power are combined with elusive mobility. Whenever they appeared on the battlefield, it was like a storm of blades, a nightmare for ordinary soldiers. If there were no great knights and warriors of the same rank to stop them, three or five such elite orc warriors could slaughter an army of five hundred people in one meal. ”

Terenus listened, lost in thought.

"I think I have a rough idea of what kind of enemy we are facing, and I have an immature idea of whether you can go through it together if you have time. "Alonthos Fao pays tribute to Anduin Lothar.

"It's a great honor. "Anduin Lothar returned the favor.
