Listening to King Terenus's words, Anduin Lothar nodded at first, and then looked at the field by the side of the road, where a dozen griffons were tied together, shaking their feathers and necks restlessly—it seemed that the situation at Riptide Castle was indeed urgent, and so many messengers had been sent in one go.

"Has Prince Danas's line at the northern end of the Sadol Bridge been breached?" Anduin Lothar asked his first question. Although there are also coasts in the Arathi Heights adjacent to the town of Nanhai, all of them are covered with reefs, and even fishing is an impossible luxury, plus it is located in a narrow sea, and the current is extremely turbulent, even if there is no reef, it is impossible for ships to dock, so it is impossible for orcs to land from there, which is also a conclusion that has been made when formulating a strategy, then, the only reason that can explain the appearance of orcs is that the Sadol Bridge has been breached.

"I don't know, neither do His Majesty the King and Lord Kurbanke. However, Lord Kurbanke said that Riptide Fort did not receive any news from Prince Danas that it was attacked by the orcs, and Lord Kurbanke believed that it was impossible for His Royal Highness Prince Danas to be broken through by the orcs silently, so he thought that the orcs were coming from somewhere else, and at the same time he also sent a signal for help to the army of His Royal Highness Prince Danas. As if he had known that Anduin Lothar would ask such a question, the griffon messenger repeated what Kurbanke had taught him earlier.

"I think so too. Anduin Lothar glanced at King Terenus, nodded and said--After confirming that there was no news of the loss of the Sador Bridge, Anduin Lothar strengthened his previous judgment - you must know that the northern end of the Sador Bridge not only gathered all the elite troops of Riptide Castle, but also the famous and difficult to defend Dammod Fortress at the southern end, if the orcs could capture it silently, they would not be hindered when they first went north, but would have swept the entire continent long ago.

"So where did the orcs come from?" Uther asked, crossing her arms and frowning.

"This question aside. King Terenus waved his hand, and then said, "It doesn't matter where the orcs landed at this time, it's important to immediately strategize to support Riptide Castle. ”

With that, King Terenus asked the griffon messenger again, "How many orcs are there, and did they attack when you left?"

"Our scouts have not detected the exact number of orcs, but have estimated that there are about 50,000 from a distance. At the time I left, the orcs didn't attack. The griffon messenger replied truthfully.

"Your Majesty King Terenus, have you finished asking, please send troops to the rescue of Fort Rapids as soon as possible! Most of the soldiers of the Stormgard Kingdom are gathered at the northern end of the Sadol Bridge, and my father should be able to use no more than a few thousand people to defend the city now, maybe before we speak, the orcs will already start attacking the city!" Garin clutched the note in his hand, almost grinding the letter with his fingers.

The light is above, his own father...... Garin's worries and fears had reached the extreme, and he could not imagine how his father, with only a few palace guards, could resist the attack of orcs ten times his own with only a few thousand palace guards, and every time he delayed here, the danger of Riptide Castle doubled!

"It will take a while to get here from Riptide Castle, even if it's a griffon messenger...... When we arrive, will Riptide Castle be ......?" Uther said with a mutter—his fears were not unfounded, and it made sense that the orcs would have hastened their assault on the city when they saw Riptide Castle release griffin messengers for help, if there were only a few thousand soldiers in the city...... Maybe when he and his group arrived at a gallop, Riptide Castle had changed hands, and at that time, the exhausted human coalition army would be able to defeat the army of 50,000 orcs in the field?

"What do you mean?" Garin took a step forward angrily and glared at Uther—the previous discussion between King Terenus and Anduin Lothar had already angered the anxious Garin, except that one of them was a venerable old king and the other was a long-standing warrior, and Garin was counting on their army to rescue his father, so it was hard to say anything, but now, perhaps Uther was a "lightbringer" revered by the commoners near the Northshire Abbey , but in the Northern Subcontinent, if he said such a thing with an unknown reputation, he would naturally become the target of manic Garin's vent.

"Garin, don't be impulsive, Sir Uther has no ill will. King Terenus stretched out an arm and stopped Garin.

The majesty of the Lordaeron monarch shocked Prince Garin, and he did not take any further action, but pleaded bitterly: "Your Majesty King Terenus, my father really can't hold out for long, you better send troops quickly, I'm afraid it's too late!"

King Terenus pondered for a while, and under the anxious gaze of Prince Garin, the old king nodded, and instructed the royal guards of Lordaeron beside him: "Bring the letter and pen!"

One of the royal guards of Lordaeron took a folded letter paper, well-sealed ink, and a quill from the cyst in his saddle and handed it to King Terenus.

The old king unfolded the letter, leaned it against the back of his warhorse, wrote it quickly, and then took out his personal seal from the pocket at his waist and fastened it under the letter.

King Terenus refolded the letter and handed it to the griffin messenger, and commanded, "Divide two of you and send this letter to Dalaran, and give it to Archmage Antonidas or Archmage Modra, and tell them everything they want to know." Remember, you can only leave it to these two, and if you can't find them, go find Master Khadgar and ask for his help. You can't tell anyone else anything that's going on at Riptide Castle except these three, you know?"

The griffon messenger nodded, put the letter in his inner pocket in his leather armor, nodded solemnly, and promised, "I will deliver this letter myself." ”

King Terenus nodded—the situation in Dalaran is complicated, the Kenrito Council is not in charge of everything, and mages always have strange ideas, such as the mage who betrayed the Human Alliance mentioned by Prince Garin, although it turned out that the real betrayer was Blackmore himself, but there is no guarantee that these mages will do something crazy for their so-called research.
