Chapter 117: The Cowardly King (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The elves of this life will never be beaten!
Although McDonald has a feeling of depression about being successfully prostituted by the elves, he can't let go of Orgrim and kill Kaizi's father, right?
The orcs crossed the border, and there was no grass to grow.
Anyone who can jump will be eaten.
The nomadic race is the walking gluttony!
McDonald replied so solemnly, and Wen Lesha's ridicule stopped: "It's funny, then our sisters will be ashamed." β
McDonald waved his hand, ignoring the system's [Suspected Illegal Gift] prompt, and said with a smile: "Helping me kill a few more orcs is the best reward." β
Back......
[System, shut up for me!] It's a favor investment, you know? Maybe you can turn around and turn a few Ranger heroes back? γ
System: [Limited to one year, if the host is unable to obtain the giver's corresponding guard service within one year......]
Regardless of the fact that McDonald took the Black Dragon King's teeth and injured his friends with pride, the most obvious change in the second year of the war was......
Orcs are more pragmatic.
Ogrim's understanding of this war with the Alliance became clearer and clearer.
A big scuffle in the Hillsbrad Hills eliminated many weak orc clans, but the cruel situation of food shortages forced Orgrim to attack again.
Before the orcs converted from a nomadic race and fixed their territory, the lack of prey was the biggest reason for them to wage war.
The winter offensive was launched.
On 7 January, reports of attacks were received along the entire Hillsbrad Hills front in the Coalition.
From the west to the south of the Silver Pine Forest in Gilneth, to the city of Dalaran in the centre, to the foot of Mount Alterac and finally to the southern foothills of Mount Eagle's Nest to Hinterland.
More than 100,000 orcs have been witnessed on each battlefield.
Lothar's hair fell out in large quantities, but there was nothing she could do.
Heavy snow blocked the roads, blocking almost all of the Alliance's troop movements, except for the unfrozen Lake Lordanmere, which could keep Lordaeron City in touch with Dalaran, and the rest of the area was basically immobile.
"Where is the enemy's main force?" Looking at the map, Lothar is worried!
Even if they don't want to admit it, almost all of the staff officers have their sights set on two places - the Silver Pine Forest and the Alterac Forest.
The Silver Pine Forest, located at the westernmost point of the Northern Continent of the Eastern Kingdom, is long on the map from south to north. Sandwiched to the west by the Endless Sea and to the east by Lake Lordamere, there are rich forests and grain-producing areas. The southern and central parts of the region belonged to the Kingdom of Gilneys, with only the northern part belonging to Lordaeron, where there was a dukedom.
It's okay if the orcs fight here, Duke Stratholme has long proposed that if the orcs really crash into this area, when the orcs have more troops, they can play landing battles from the east and west sides to form a flanking attack.
In a sense, the Silver Pine Forest area is a pocket formation, and once Gilneth and Lordaeron are working at the same time, it will be surrounded on all sides.
But the problem lies in the Alterac Mountains east of Dalaran.
The dilapidated place directly led by the royal family of Alterac itself has a population of less than 200,000 people, and it is full of mountains, and God knows whether there are so many people, let alone any food production. If it weren't for the fact that Alterac still had a Barov family, this kind of weak chicken, which was not much stronger than the marquisate, would not be qualified to be included in the ranks of the kingdom at all.
The place was too big to ignore, yet so big and barren.
At the western foot of the mountain range, there is a lakeside passage about 300 meters wide that leads directly to Lordaeron, and at this time it has long been sealed by the Duke of Tirisfar, the king of Terenus, with an army of 20,000.
The problem was that on the east side, the road to Andohal to the north was not wide, and it was defended by the Rivendell legion. But in the east-central position, there is a huge gentle slope that is 15 kilometers wide from east to west, which leads to the royal city of Alterac......
How can he keep this?
The only point of danger is the Sofia Heights, northwest of the fallen city of Tarenmere.
It's a headache to change the main force of the alliance, not to mention Alterac, who took McDonald's money and claimed to have '40,000 soldiers'.
With no choice but to hope that the orcs would not find the snow-covered passage, or that the Alterac would give it a little more force.
Sadly, Lothar was doomed to disappointment.
Just when he was forced to take chances, in a small snow-covered col near the place he had expected, the wind howled rhythmically.
The sound of the wind is easily reminiscent of the music of hollow-eared ghost animals.
It's like someone is screaming hoarsely, "Understand Billy, you're bending"!
In the col, a burly figure with a naked upper body and a brown-red muscular body was wrestling with an ugly-looking, yellow-skinned, round-bellied, four-meter-tall superhumanoid troll.
"Oh-oh-drink-" Orgrim roared, and in front of thousands of orcs and hundreds of Broken Ridge ogres, he slammed the burlier ogre in front of him, who was more than half a body taller than him, to the ground, and went up to the neck with a cross neck lock, making the other party breathless.
Finally, the ogre made the agreed gesture, which meant that he surrendered.
"Oooo
βLokβtarοΌβ
Surprisingly, it wasn't just the orcs who cheered, but also the ogres on the other side!
It has to be said that savage races always have wonderful things in common. Obviously the language barrier, the ogre's IQ is not much higher, and the two sides who are both muscle tyrants are stunned to reach a py deal, uh, perfect communication.
In front of all the orc warriors, the taller ogre leader and a group of ogres swore allegiance to the Great Chieftain Orgrim.
It's a triumph of muscles!
This is a barbaric consensus!
King Eden Pirenod never expected that the Broken Ridge ogre, which the Alterac Kingdom had not been able to eradicate for many years, would actually throw itself into the arms of the orcs in this situation.
When he received the secret report that more than 100,000 orcs were converging with a thousand Broken Ridge ogres and were marching towards Alterac, he panicked.
The highest wall of the city of Alterac is only 8 meters, and most of the walls are built on the mountain, and the mountains on both sides are not particularly steep. It's okay to resist human attacks, and it's okay to resist orcs who are more burly and good at siege, isn't that a food delivery!?
Aiden secretly summoned his palace minister, as well as his most relied on general, 38-year-old Haas.
When the two of them heard the king's proposal, they were all terrified.
Gong Xiang's lips trembled: "What? Your Majesty, did I hear you right? Are you going to betray the Alliance and surrender to those green-skinned monsters? Can those monsters communicate? β
On General Haas's face, every beard trembled with anger: "Oh my God! Those green-skinned demons have killed so many of our compatriots, and your majesty you actually said that you want Alterac to join them? β
Aiden was furious: "What can I do? There are 100,000 people on the other side! We only have less than 10,000! β
Haas puffed out his chest: "The Alterac warriors will protect Your Majesty until the last soldier!" β
His oath was mercilessly trampled on, and King Aiden smashed a glass full of red wine on his forehead.
His forehead hurts, and Haas's heart hurts even more!
"Will you be able to save Alterac when you're all dead? The Coalition is only willing to send Danas Tol Bain's bereaved dog over. They had no sincerity at all to save Alterac. β
"That's 20,000 soldiers."
"Yes, it's all trapped in the waste at the foot of the western foothills. When they come in the spring, they can only pick up my blackened bones that have been gnawed clean by the wolves! β
"And Rivendell......"
"That's less than 20,000 people combined!" Aiden scolded: "And, Haas, have you forgotten? The loyalty of the knight is absolute! β
Haas was extremely sad, and his breath was blocked in his chest, extremely uncomfortable.
After ten seconds of silence, he finally lowered his head, and the resolute face that was once full of glory could only face the gorgeous floor tiles: "Yes, Your Majesty, I am absolutely loyal to you. β
"Send a secret messenger to High Chief Orgrim!"
"Yes......"
The old thief Aiden didn't notice that outside a glass window in the palace hall, there was a top thief lying in the [stealth] state, making himself almost completely transparent.
Valera spat fiercely in her heart: "Traitor! β
