Arthas saw that Uther and the others were coming, while the group was still slowly advancing, and planned to stop first to discuss the placement of the orcs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Hearing Arthas express his concerns, Tirio Fortin, who was bent on subduing the orc wolf cavalry, said, "Why don't I carve out a place in the Hearth Valley for this group of orcs to work there?" ”
Arthas thought about it and thought it would be a good idea as well. Underneath the Valley of the Hearth is a lumberyard called the "North Mountain", where a large amount of timber is produced every day for consumption throughout Lordaeron, and this is the main source of income for the castle of Madenhold in the Valley of the Hearth, where the demand for labor is almost endless, so it is also a good choice to send it there.
However, Arthas's only concern is that the owner of Hearthvae, Tirio Fordin, is too soft on the Orcs, and if his regulations are somewhat relaxed, causing the Orcs to flee the lumberyards, it is likely to cause harm to the people of Lordaeron. Just as Arthas hesitated to voice his concerns, several fast horses galloped in the distance, and all the paladins, including Arthas, were attracted by the sound of horses' hooves, stopped the discussion, and looked ahead.
The sharp-eyed Gavinrad put his hand on the pergola, looked at it, and said, "It's Prince Wrynn." Arthas was overjoyed and turned to look at Uther. Just as Uther also looked over, the eyes of the two men met, and they both understood each other's meaning - they had found the traces of the orc wolf cavalry! Arthas put aside the orc's resettlement plan and waited for Urien's arrival, feeling a little emotionally in his heart - he didn't expect that Uther's random arrangement really allowed Urion to find a clue!
Urion came galloping with four paladins, and when he reached Uther, he didn't have time to salute, and hurriedly said, "Found it!" You wouldn't have imagined that there is a large orc tribe on the other side of the mountain, adding up to several thousand! The old, the mother, the young, all of them, and they were defenseless, and it looked like they had been here for a long time! ”
All the paladins were overjoyed, and a burning look flashed in their eyes - most of them were warriors-turned-paladins, who had not yet learned the rules of mercy, and the desire to fight was even in their blood, and the thought of being able to fight freely on the battlefield filled their bodies.
Arthas interjected, "Did you see a wolf?" Urian was stunned for a moment and said, "I saw it, hundreds of them, all locked in a fence." Arthas nodded, no longer spoke, leaving time for Uther to set up the battle mission. Uther thought for a moment and said, "Urien, you, Dasohan and Gavin Rad, take two squads and rush to the place where you found the orc tribe, if they have any changes, follow them up, and report back immediately!" ”
Ureon commanded loudly, and Dasohan and Gavinrad led two squads of twenty paladins and galloped into the distance with Ureon. Uther continued to order: "Tulayan, you go and inform the large army to speed up, dismount and rest two kilometers away from that orc camp, and wait for the other teams to come and assemble. Turayan bowed slightly, did not speak, and turned to meet the slowly moving paladin brigade.
Uther turned to Mage Khadgar, who was silent, and saluted, and said, "Master Khadgar, the next thing is to trouble you. Master Khadgar nodded, pulling a short, shiny wood staff from his sleeve, his lips moving slightly, and pointing the staff at the sky.
I saw a flash of purple light, and a series of three purple Olympiad missiles flew into the sky and exploded in the air, forming a brilliant brilliance. This is the assembly signal agreed before the operation, Uther's original plan was to use the holy light to create a strange scene in the sky, and the same is true of the agreement made when sending out the search team, but Arthas once suggested that it would be better for the Khadgar mage to make the signal, but at that time it was not confirmed whether the Khadgar mage would come, so the purple flare was only used as an alternative plan to inform the search teams of each group.
Seeing that the signal had been issued, Uther tugged at the reins of his horse and said, "The rest of you, come with me to the orc's camp and observe the terrain!" With that, he took the lead and galloped in the direction of Urynn and the others. Several paladins struck their horses to follow, and the frost sorrow behind Arthas also urged the horses to chase after them. The Khadgar mage silently glanced at the position behind Arthas, clamped his horse's belly between his feet, and let his war horse follow at the end of the team, but his heart was full of worry - that might be the existence of the evil Sartre, actually riding on a horse with Arthas? What exactly is the relationship between them?
In that orc camp deep in the southern part of the Alterac Valley, the orcs were still happily sharing breakfast, though not very tasty. In the huge stone house in the middle of the camp, a group of orc warriors in plate armor were sitting in a circle, arguing fiercely about something, and the first one was the old orc who used a magical spell that day to almost kill the huge snowman alone.
The old orc sat on the ground, one hand on his knee, quietly listening to the fierce arguments of the young people, his eyes shining with wisdom. I heard one orc warrior say loudly, "In a month at most, all our wolves will starve to death." Even if we count the food we hunted, we could only last here for two months. Two months later, will the people starve to death? ”
Another shorter orc warrior said, "What can I do then?" The food brought from Draenor is almost gone, and this damn place can't be cultivated, so what food is there besides hunting? An orc warrior shouted, "We can steal food from humans!" As soon as he spoke, the stone house fell silent, and all the orc warriors turned their eyes to the old orc, as if waiting for his decision.
The old orc stood up, stroked the one-handed sword at his waist with his hand, and said, "Which of you is sure that you can capture Alterac Castle or Broken Ridge Fortress with a few hundred men?" Even if you can do it, where can we run away when we are discovered by humans? Even if you can run away, what about those who can't? Without the clansmen, does the Frostwolf Clan still exist? ”
A series of questions from the old orcs caused these young orc warriors to bow their heads, and suddenly, an orc warrior said angrily: "It's all to blame for this damned demon Guldan, if he hadn't driven us out, we wouldn't have fallen to such a point, and even Chief Durotan wouldn't have died!" The other orc warriors also rebuked the guy named "Gul'dan".
An orc warrior suddenly let out a long sigh and said faintly, "I don't know if we will still be alive to see the family members of Frost Fire Ridge. If Tirio Fording had been present and could understand what the orc was saying, he would have excitedly pointed it out to Da Sohan and told him, "See, the orcs have the same feelings as we do!" Because when the orc warrior's words spoke, all the people in the stone house, including the old orc, had a very gloomy expression on their faces, and even the hideous faces of the past were no longer terrifying, and all of them seemed to have two words written on their faces—homesickness.
