As the saying goes: poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people.

The worse the environment, the more ruthless the people who come out, because those who are not ruthless enough often do not live to adulthood.

Orc: This is the highlander who ran headlong into Stormgard.

It stands to reason that there are many farms in the Arathi Heights, and the land is not too barren, so why has it become a poor mountain and a bad water?

The answer is elemental creatures!

The entire highland is full of earth, water, fire, and wind elemental creatures.

These creatures, which are condensed with highly concentrated elements, are quite unreasonable. Unlike the game, real-life elemental creatures don't eat physical attacks.

Think to yourself, can you hack a flame to death with a kitchen knife?

Leaving aside nearly half of the places inhabited by elemental creatures, there are not many places where the Stormgards live.

When the orcs slaughtered, many times they were taken to the territory of elemental creatures by the highlanders without paying attention. The locals knew how to jump into the puddle to hold their breath as soon as they saw the fire elemental creatures swaying by. The orcs chasing after me don't understand! Just like that, he was pitted to death!

For many poor and white human farmers, an orc head is often worth more than all his belongings.

This is not the simple math of a human head equal to only 3 silver coins.

3 Silver coins are a lot, but the bigger ones are still behind.

When the alliance was first established, the six countries were fighting at the same time.

Basically, the scale of the military expansion has reached ten times that of the normal state.

The normal practice is to use existing soldiers as the backbone to expand the army, but not every veteran is suitable to be a captain or something. The gap for lower-level officers has risen to the sky.

This made it simple and crude for the nobility of all countries to recruit soldiers.

"Conscription! Conscription! The warrior who can bring the head of the orc is the sergeant of the alliance when he comes, and he will be the leader of a 10-person team! ”

The nobleman's thinking is very straight: those who dare to kill orcs are definitely not cowards, even if they don't have the ability to lead troops, at least they won't run back in fright when they see orcs. That's a qualified squad leader!

The benefits brought by the Union sergeant were that the whole family was given priority for the resettlement of refugees, with temporary housing, rations, and even widows who could not survive to warm their beds.

This led to a strange sight in the wall of Soladin - many of the Arathi refugees who had fled to safety were redirected east in droves with their friends and weapons after learning of the new policy.

Such stragglers are not without a chance of winning.

With the clumsy medical logistics of the orcs, even if they were just pricked by a pitchfork, they could get infected and eventually die.

Straw forks, slurry commonly known as dung forks, when the farmer is working, there is nothing not mixed to do. The bacteria on it are indispensable.

Then, the orc's scalp was numb to find that there was actually a human who picked up the orc's temporary grave and cut off his head.

If you are killed by the enemy on the battlefield and have your head cut off, it is reasonable. If the tomb is robbed, for most of the orcs who still worship shamanic culture, they can't stand it.

They are more accustomed to soul returning to soul and earth to earth.

The morale of the orcs on the front line began to fall uncontrollably.

In addition, Arathi's highland knights attacked the orcs out of nowhere, which annoyed the front line.

Ogrim was so aggrieved that he lost the Frostwolf Clan, and the Horde did not have another large cavalry formation. Other clans do have a wolf, often hundreds of wolf cavalry to the sky.

No chief wants to dismantle his own wolf cavalry and mix it with the wolf cavalry of other clans. The mere suggestion of Orgrim was met with the most vehement resistance of all the chiefs.

Before the main force of the orcs reached the Arathi Heights, the advance of the front line seemed to be bogged down.

This allowed Stormgard to evacuate most of the refugees westward, through the walls of Soradin, and into the Hills of Hillsbrad without being able to return to the besieged capital, Fort Riptide.

It is very interesting that these refugees received full assistance and support from the Otlank Barov family. To the west of the wall, there is the eastern part of the Hillsbrad hills, including the town of Nanhai, which is the largest grain producing area of the Barov family.

No one wants their territory to be ruined, and the old Duke Barov will definitely not let the orcs mess around.

Food, tents, weapons and equipment were continuously transported by the Barov family to the west side of the wall, and the barracks of more than 10,000 people soon exceeded ten. Further west, there are also a large number of refugee camps.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how rich the Barov family is, it will be very painful to squeeze out so many materials.

But, the alliance has a big dog!

"I'm sorry! My soldiers haven't been trained yet! I don't think my main force will be able to catch up with this big battle. Otherwise, I'll donate some money first! McDonald said.

Everyone knows that Stratholme was the first to start the army, perhaps the quality of the soldiers is not as good as that of the royal family, but the number is absolutely exaggerated.

100,000 is already counted as a small amount, and 200,000 is believed by people.

1 million people and 100,000 soldiers are definitely reckless, not to mention more than this number every minute. Because someone saw that Mai ordered all the sturdy peasant women to practice spears.

No one can say that McDonald's is not.

He sent his number one general, Viscount Rivendell. The 10,000 elites led by the Viscount had already passed Hadohar and were rushing over through the narrow mountain path at the foot of the Alterac Mountains.

Some witnesses said that the 10,000 people, even ordinary big-headed soldiers, were wearing steel armor.

Those who arrived before the army had 20,000 gold coins.

These Arasso gold coins of full color smashed Duke Barov into a daze. This is the military salary donated by McDonald to the Alliance, and through the hands of Lothar, it was issued to the Barov family in the name of the Alliance.

With this money alone, the Barov family will not lose money.

Driven by the ability of money, in just one month, the alliance gathered an army of 170,000 on the defense line of the wall of Soladin: 80,000 in Stormgard, 10,000 in the Barovs, 20,000 in Dalaran, 20,000 in the royal family of Lordaeron, 5,000 each for the Duke of Lordamir and Alterac, and a whole bunch of miscellaneous marquises, counts, and other miscellaneous armies.

These troops with uneven strength, normally speaking, no matter which commander comes, will have a numb scalp.

Oh! It's a defense battle, that's fine!

The tall, wide walls give commanders more opportunities to make mistakes.

It doesn't matter if the quality of the soldier is poor, with a spear, he will poke at it when he sees which green skin comes up, this will always be, right?

Even if the front can't withstand it, there are still Lordaeron's elite troops pressing the formation, and a counter-charge can drive the orcs off the city.

On 20 December, Orgrim, who arrived, sent the second-rate clan on a tentative attack.

This time, it was Orgrim's turn to have a numb scalp.

First of all, there are not many trees in this ruined area of the Arathi Heights, and the eyes are full of undulating hills and turf, and to make siege weapons, it is necessary to cross dozens of kilometers from the east side of the highlands to transport timber.

With great difficulty, some trees were brought in and made into ladders, and the defenses on the city walls were frighteningly exaggerated.

Due to the extra-wide walls, Lothar could easily discharge a column of sword and shield soldiers in front and four rows of pikemen in the back.

When an orc jumps on the city, it is often more than ten spears poked at the same time, as long as it is not fully ironarmed, the orc will go up to a hole.

Orgrim saw with his own eyes a warrior who he thought was of great strength, and he was seconded when he went up, and then he was killed by a guy dressed as a farmer with a knife, and sawed off his head like a big tree.

The farmer held the head of the orc warrior aloft, and the battlements suddenly let out a cry of envy and jealousy.
