Chapter 200: Prelude to the Epic
Time: 13th year of the Black Gate / Location: Talonshire in the book
In the first year of the Black Gate, an army of orcs poured into the world due to the opening of the gate between the orc homeland of Draenor and Azeroth.
In three years, the wolf cavalry of the elemental storm devastated the kingdom of Stormwind, King Ryan was assassinated, and only a hundred survivors were left to protect Prince Varian and forced into exile, and the first war that swept the world ended in a landslide victory for the orcs.
The invaders are despised, but they will never lack the addition of profit-seeking opportunists, and the seven orc tribes, led by [Orgrim Doomhammer], have made their way north, and in the process of conquering the city, they have absorbed the forest trolls like lost dogs, and the elves of the Sindore clan are at the top of their revenge list, they have taken the trolls' forests.
Based on the national sentiment of this group of Tesskin allies, Orgrim will of course take advantage of it, and the orcs make a pact with the trolls, promising to help the trolls reclaim their homeland and fight those arrogant elven bastards.
The old tribe was thus formed.
At the same time, the exiles of the Kingdom of Stormwind arrived at Lordaeron, the largest human city-state in the north. In terms of original military strength, the destroyed Stormwind City is still one of the best among the seven human kingdoms, and even the fall of Stormwind City will of course attract the attention of all countries, and even cause a panic. The Seven Kingdoms soon formed a coalition army, and even the mysterious Kingdom of the Mage Dalaran sent troops, but King Terenus knew that this was still not enough.
The messengers sent by Lordaeron traveled all over the places where they could reach, and successively informed the news to Ironforge Castle, Eagle's Nest Mountain, and Silvermoon City, the capital of the elves, but the messenger hit a nail in Quel's Salas, and the elven king was reluctant to send troops, only the ranger general Aurelia Windranger ignored the elven king's orders and led his headquarters to aid humanity without authorization, and joined the self-defense counterattack of all Azeroth.
In order to increase his military strength, [Pope Alonsos Fao] combined battle-hardened warriors with priests of the Light Protector to train the first [Five Paladins], namely: the former Lordaeron Legion Commander [Uther Lightbringer], Deputy Commander [Tirio Fortin], Fao's Missionary of Love [Mellas Tulayan], Scarlet Senate (Intelligence Organization) Legion Captain [Saidan Dasohan], and the exiled Duke of Stormwind [Gavinrad Doom] , the five of them formed the Knights of the Silver Hand under the leadership of Fao.
In another short period of three years, in the 6th year of the Black Gate, in the extremely tragic sacrifice of both sides, Orgrim was defeated at Blackstone Mountain, and Anduin Lothar was killed by the sword. King Terenas interrogated the High Chief in prison, only to learn that the orcs had become slaughtering machines due to drinking demonic blood, and that the effect of demonic blood had waned, and Orgrim was quiet and polite.
The benevolent King Terenus pardoned all orcs for their capital crimes and imprisoned them in labor camps to rid them of the effects of demonic blood. Three months later, Orgrim unexpectedly escaped from his cell beneath the city of Lordaeron, rescued the captured orcs, and formed a guerrilla force to operate in the mountains and forests.
The king won a complete victory, and the whole of Azeroth sang the praises of the heroes, but as the joy of victory faded, many began to question the old king's overly merciful approach. There are more ill-intentioned people who want to start a human civil war through the orc problem, the first of the seven kingdoms to destroy is the city-state of Alterac, due to the cowardice of the royal family of Perinord, they rebelled against the alliance in World War II, ignoring the tribal army through the valley, resulting in the defeat of the coalition army in the Battle of Oshan, only General Tulayan's independent regiment stubbornly resisted, liberated the tyrannical clan ogre slaves, although the language barrier, but the free ogre leader - [Iron Maniac Oden] On behalf of the whole race, he thanked this little human and promised to help humanity fight back. The vanguard of the tribe's three thousand wolf cavalry was defeated and had to retreat, and the raging ogres easily took the capital of the traitor Parinard family, and after the end of World War II, due to the opposition of General Tulayan, the Human Alliance did not send troops to recruit this group of ogres, and my hometown of Tarenmir is in the eastern pass of the Alterac Valley, and the ogres almost never come out of the mountain, and it seems that they are still grateful for the noble deeds of the little Tulayan.
As a result, Alterac is long gone, but the royal family is said to be still in exile. The second country to be destroyed is the origin of human civilization - the Kingdom of Stormgard, the hero who died in World War II [Anduin Lothar] is the descendant of the ancient emperor who gave way to Torbairn, and after the death of Lothar and his son, the last generation of Arathi bloodline representing the king's gene has also disappeared.
The Torbairn family, who took over as the king of the kingdom of Stormgard, was also patriotic and loved the people, but the casualties were too great when fighting against the orc invaders, and the country was almost wiped out, except for Prince Garin and his uncle Danas, and then due to the expedition of the six heroes to Draenor, including Danas's troops, the expedition team disappeared in the Black Gate for 6 years and never returned, and soon the weak Prince Garin announced that he would cancel the title of the country and join the kingdom of Lordaeron and become the province of Arashi.
The situation of the 13-year peace of the Black Gate has been laid, but Kurtiras, Lordaeron and the Stormwind Kingdom all want to complete the unification of mankind, Kurtiras is a sea kingdom, sitting on fifteen islands covering an area of more than 8,000 square kilometers, and is a real sea overlord, but the military strength of the army is not as good as the other two powers. The intelligence war of the three kingdoms is intensifying, and among them, the eternal neutral magic kingdom of Dalaran is in chaos, and the three kingdoms are all pulling in the help of the archmage camp. Modra, Anthony and other six-member council super-mages don't know if there will be political leanings, anyway, we have already seen the beginning of this spy war, the family of three killed by the spy is nothing for the interests of a country, but it makes us all uncomfortable.
As one of the initiators of the Daronshire Grand Puja, Kel'thugad is very low-key this time, and his purpose is still unclear, but as a supermage of Dalaran, I suspect that he may have been heavily bribed by a certain country to cause trouble under Lordaeron.
Also unable to peek into the heart is Mama Redpass, this Liwei Conference has lost its original meaning as it evolves into a Demon Fighting Conference. Her purpose is necessarily not to establish power, but to a larger conspiracy.
The rise of Protestantism was nothing short of a challenge to the position of the Holy See's theocratic spokesmanship, and all the clues were pointing to the Scepter and the pagan who was supposed to be burned to death.
Thankfully, we are not weakened now, and both the captives and the three of us are in top shape. It's just that Kiefer was missing from his arrested companions, could it be that he was hidden by Kel'thugad?
The battle took a turn for the worse, and due to Abby's excellent performance in the battle against Liadrin, as well as the sudden appearance of Yuna and Zuta, the Demon Fighting Conference was in chaos, and the water vapor could not be dispersed for a while, and Minna and I stopped in mid-air, waiting for the opportunity to move.
If it weren't for Gavinrad's concern for the safety of the people in the audience and risking being crushed to carry the stone ball on his shoulder, he might have been strewn all over the field at this time.
"Minna, let's go wrap up in water too!"
Before the raptor druid could reply, he saw a long black brocade box fly out of the rising mist, and it flew closer and closer, as if the lock was not locked, and the slit was getting bigger and bigger, without the overflowing brilliance of the holy staff, only a strange yin wind sprayed between the cracks, and a strong stench of corpses came to the nose, followed by the rotting half of the armγγγγγγ (Rabbit pen Kang slugging cow)
