The Alliance, on its part, knows nothing about the changes in the orcs.

Since July, the Elwyn Forest has experienced the hottest and wettest summer rains. In conditions of high temperatures, humidity and poor visibility, the reconnaissance of griffins became inefficient.

The upper echelons of the Alliance are quite happy with the shrinking of the orcs - which definitely fits all the characteristics of a losing power.

By capturing and interrogating the captives, it is not difficult for the Alliance to know that all orcs have come through a huge [gate]. Then, through the captive's description of the surrounding scene, it was not difficult for them to learn that this particular portal was just south of the Swamp of Sorrow.

Now, the land of death polluted by a terrible curse has been named [Cursed Land] by the Alliance.

"The orcs are gone! They are gathering the last of their forces and making a desperate fight. The massive number of orc corpses can't be faked, and Lothar has come to this conclusion based on various intelligence: "We only need to defeat the main force of the Blackstone Clan led by the Great Chief Orgrim, kill all the way to the Cursed Lands, and destroy that damn portal to end this war." ”

In fact, when it comes to fighting a war, it is not easy for any family.

In the past year's wars, with the exception of Kurtiras, Stratholme, and Hinterland, where Eagle's Nest Mountain is located, the war has burned almost every territory of the entire Alliance.

The tragic loss of human life and the decline in food production have brought the internal affairs of various countries to the brink of collapse.

If you don't kill all the orcs, the country will not collapse as simply, and you will directly fast forward to the destruction of the country.

Today, nations are tightening their belts and gritting their teeth in support of this staggeringly costly transcontinental expedition.

No matter how rich the wheat tyrant is, the money cannot be exchanged without damage and can be turned into grain.

The only good thing is that McDonald's foundation in the western wilderness is quite solid, with all kinds of bunkers, N more granaries, and the winter grain from Andohal and Stratholme transported in advance.

The alliance just needs to bring the big military ships over.

The newly built Port of Minahill and the Gold Coast Pier in the Wild West became the busiest docks, followed by Stormport, which was just beginning to be rebuilt.

On July 25, Lothar and the others, who rushed to the edge of Jason's farm to build a new Jason Fortress, joined up with McDonald.

In the castle on the front line, Tulayan, the tool man, looked at the military map and explained to the bigwigs who arrived.

"First of all, in the northeast, the dwarven mechanized forces led by Muradin* Copperbeard are storming the fortress group of Red Ridge Mountain, but the effect is not good, and the walls of the orcs are stronger than expected. The dwarven howitzers could not effectively damage the walls. Finding a way to mobilize a more penetrating cannon to get over. But it will take time. "Tulayan first put three metal dwarf tank models on the side of Red Ridge Mountain.

"Due to the serious damage to Stormwind City, once the offensive is frustrated, it will not be able to withstand the counterattack of the orcs, so we decided that the Stormwind Front Army will be the northern route division, and only the second and third legions of the original Stormwind Kingdom will be used as a containment." Tulayan places two metal figurines, representing 10,000 people, at the location of Stormwind on the map.

"The Southern Route Army has set out, they are a guerrilla force led by Brigadier General Aurelia * Windranger, with Elven Ranger as the core, supplemented by hunter professionals, a total of 8,000 people. They carried a large number of supplies and boats to cross the river, and only waited for our signal to cross the river and attack the southern flank of the orc Shining Gold Town defense area. However, they did not carry heavy weapons and could only be used for harassment. ”

Tulayan continued: "To the west is our main force. There are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Legions of Lordaeron, the Scarlet Cross of Mograine and Abydis, the 1st and 2nd Mixed Magical Infantry Regiment of Dalaran, the Knights of the Arathi Highlands, the 1st Legion of Storm, the 1st Panzer Division of Forgeria, and the Stratholme Army, a total of 360,000 soldiers! ”

Speaking of this, a low commotion rang out in the hall of the military doctor, which was the excited whispers of the soldiers.

This battle brings together the essence of the entire alliance!

This is still the premise of streamlining most of the miscellaneous soldiers, and it is hard to plug in, but I am afraid that the number of troops will go up to 800,000.

After all, at this point in time, except for the self-contained Gilneth and Quel'Salas, the recruitment stations of various countries are filled with people every day. Even though the Union had stopped conscription, the population spontaneously demanded to enlist.

Simple militia training can no longer satisfy the people's willingness to participate in the war!

It's a pity that the food can't hold up!

To be able to support so many soldiers on cross-continent expeditions, it all depends on the advance arrangement of a certain local tyrant.

Even so, the seemingly vast Elwyn Forest still can't accommodate such a large force in one go.

After a brief introduction, the bigwigs from all walks of life began to quarrel and ask to fight.

In their opinion, this is the last chance to compete for merit.

On the contrary, the first battle of the battle - the recovery of the old site of the Xiquan Fortress was not fought for.

Everyone thought that taking the Xiquan Fortress was the life of logistics, after all, this forward base was too close to the newly built orc camp in Shanjin Town. Whoever goes, there will be no change of guard in a short time, and there will be no chance to get the final success.

"This, since no one has taken the initiative to apply to go to Xiquan Fortress, then I'll go." McDonaln said casually.

The bigwigs from all walks of life showed envious eyes, not because they were grateful for McDonald's generosity, but because McDonald was the only existence that didn't need to take credit anymore. His exploits have long been unrivaled in the Lordaeron Alliance. Let Terenus save face.

No matter how many dukes Lordaeron hung up, one McDonald would earn all his face back.

There was nothing to say about this battle, McDonald didn't even have the two elite troops of Rivendell and Surreyek, just let the cameo wage earner Kurtaz charge with 10,000 men, and two charges took the fortress guarded by a third-tier clan.

The Westspring Fortress, located southwest of Stormwind, was not badly damaged when it fell last year. Because when the defense line of Shining Gold was broken, Berval withdrew most of his troops to Stormwind.

The West Spring Fortress symbolically left 3,000 people to slow down the progress of the orcs and prevent the orcs from rushing into the fertile western wilderness so quickly.

After a fierce hand-to-hand battle, all the human defenders were killed, but the main structure of the fortress was still relatively intact.

A four-storey hardstone bunker with eight makeshift arrow towers, this is the West Spring Fortress.

Seriously, this place is not worth the Madonald.

As always, the king of the bunkers, Madonald, will build everywhere he goes.

Of course, what is more important is the forward movement of the supply station. Almost at the same time that he took the Xiquan Fortress, the 300,000 alliance army had already been allocated.

The bored McDonalken sat on the top of the fortress, casually watching the orc camp layout with a telescope.

In the fertile Elwyn Forest, many trees began to grow back in just one year. Lush saplings can be seen everywhere.

It's just that McDonald looks at it and feels wrong.

"Wait! The spacing of this camp is too wide. ”

This kind of open-style arrangement resembles a goblin raceway, and no matter how you look at it, it looks like it is used for the impact of large troops.
