However, Zujin's actions were not answered, and in front of him, Kilrog was excitedly commanding an orc of the Bloodcave Clan: "You, go and tell Doomhammer that those griffons are back!"
Watching the orc trot away from the hill, Zujin blinked his intact left eye, pinned the short axe back to his waist, used his long nails to pick out the secretions from sleep in the corners of his eyes, and muttered in a low voice, "Damn, isn't it just the griffons back? What is there to scream about?Are those griffons delicious?"
At the head of Fort Riptide, where Kilrog could not see, King Solas looked in front of him in astonishment, and for a long time, his tall body shook and almost fell to the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Angry, King Solas pointed to Prince Garin in front of him and said loudly, "Garin, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to go to Dalaran? Why didn't you go? It was you? What did you say to Garin?"
King Solas turned his anger at one of the griffon messengers who had returned with Prince Garin, and frightened the skinny messenger, and Kurbanke frowned at the messenger and whispered, "Your Majesty, this is not the messenger sent to Dunhold Castle. ”
Isn't it?—King Solas was stunned for a moment—wasn't Garin at Dunhold Castle? and came back early? and was met by these griffon messengers, who told him the news of Riptide Castle, and then he forced himself back?
Wrong...... King Solas rejected his speculation - the griffon messengers were tasked with bringing the news of the siege of Riptide to the town of Southsea without encountering King Terenus's army, but what was going on?
"Father...... I didn't receive any orders to go to Dalaran?" said Prince Garin, who was confused—he thought his father would be happy to see him, but he reprimanded him as soon as he met him.
"Not to mention, Prince Garin, what's going on?Why did you come back with the griffin messengers?Didn't these griffin messengers reach the South Seas?" Kurbanke asked eagerly - there are a lot of orcs, maybe the entire orc army that invaded Azeroth is gathered under the castle of Riptide; with the strength of the Kingdom of Stormgard alone, it may not be the match for these orcs, and at this time, Lordaeron's support is particularly important, if these griffon messengers are intercepted by Prince Garin halfway... … That's really a disservice, and it's a big delay!
"Oh, that's right, I was following His Majesty King Terenus to Riptide Castle, but on the way I met our griffon messenger who suddenly came down from the sky and told us the news of the siege here, so I told ......," explained Prince Garin, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Kurbanke.
"With King Terenus?Prince Garin, are you saying that King Terenus has entered the Arathi Heights and is heading for Riptide Castle?" Kurbanke couldn't believe his ears - in fact, King Solas's letter allowing Lordaeron and Stormwind to enter the Arathi Heights had only been sent a few hours earlier, and he had personally stamped the letter with King Solas's seal!
"Yes, Lord Kurbanke. King Terenus said to me...... Although my father's permission was required to enter the Arathi Highlands, it was not only necessary to do so, and before that King Terenus and his army had already arrived at the border, where I met His Majesty King Terenus at Dunhold Castle. And not long after they got there, my father's reply arrived, so we set off together, and I didn't expect anything like this......"
"Great, Your Majesty!" said Kurbanke, who had always been a man of great control over his emotions, had not been smiling during his time as chief chamberlain to King Soras, but at this time, he could not contain the joy in his heart.
After persuading King Solas to leave to no avail, Kurbanke was ready to die with his loyal lord on the next orc siege, but he didn't expect to turn around, looking at this, Lordaeron's reinforcements can arrive long before the troops of Prince Danas, and when they arrive, it is naturally impossible for the orcs to continue to attack Riptide Fort with all their might, so the siege here can be said to be basically lifted!
"Garin, tell me how King Terenus plans for the next battle, and what does it take for us to cooperate?" King Solas was also very excited, after all, if he had a choice, no one wanted to die in vain, and more importantly, with reinforcements, no matter what the outcome of this war was, at least he would no longer be unilaterally passive, and with the help of Lordaeron's reinforcements, he might be able to avenge the tragic death of the inhabitants and make these invaders pay the price they deserved!
"Yes, Father. King Terenus's troops were all cavalry, and their numbers were ...... I didn't notice, maybe less than 30,000 people, right? He promised me that I would go full speed and that it would take more than an hour to get here. He wants us to hold out for two hours, no matter what. Garin recounted everything he knew to his father.
King Solas listened carefully to his son's narration, then slammed his right fist into the palm of his left hand, and asked De Jong, who had already arrived here, "Two hours...... Can you do it for two hours?"
In fact, there is no need for King Solas to ask, since he heard Prince Garin's words, De Jong has been silently calculating in his heart how to hold on to Riptide Fort for two hours under the siege of the orcs.
Even the reduction from six hours to two hours waiting for Prince Danas was not an easy task, and it would have been much easier to abandon the main walls and retreat to the palace, but after that tragedy, De Jong could not imagine what would happen to the civilians in the quarters once the palace guards withdrew into the palace.
It is a brutal war, and the opponent is not the army of another country, but the aggressor of a different race from the human race, and from a mutual point of view, the other side is no different from a pig, dog, tiger and wolf, and when one kills the other side, even brutally, there is not even a trace of moral condemnation in the heart.
It could not retreat into Miyagi, and it had to rely on less than 3,000 soldiers in his hands to hold out for two hours...... De Jong felt that it was not easy, but in the face of King Solas's gaze, De Jong still mustered up his fighting spirit, slammed his right fist into his left chest, and replied loudly: "I am willing to die for the safety of His Majesty the King and Riptide Castle!"
