Chapter 749: When War Comes
News of the upheaval in Lordaeron spread quickly as a large number of refugees fled.
Come to think of it, the Lich King was slowed down by the Silver Dawn after all.
This year is a year of famine, and the entire south has failed to harvest grain.
A year earlier or a year later, the plague food spread out by Lordaeron alone could withstand hundreds of thousands of troops.
It's a pity that there are no ifs.
In the face of famine, Lordaeron's great grain merchants shrank their grain roots, and Carlos spent a lot of energy to clear the channels to ensure that the dwarves and gnomes would not go to famine.
In the case that the supply does not go up and countless people are staring, the cost of doing things is too high.
Therefore, the famine years are not conducive to the spread of the plague, because people take food too seriously.
Without the Plague Scourge, the Legion can't fight?
If you don't have this to say, you will be stubborn.
The fall of Lordaeron provided hundreds of thousands of troops for the Scourge Legion.
It's a huge force.
Arthas and the other Death Knights, under the watchful eye of their masters, are equipped to fight, expanding their combat power in the fastest way possible.
Just for Dalaran across Lake Lordamire.
Unlike Kilgardan, the Polluter Akmund is tyrannical but has a reputation of being of the highest order.
After escaping Draenor into Kil'Gardan's trap, Neozu's soul was tormented for quite some time.
It was also this time of torture by the Burning Legion that gave Naozu the most intuitive understanding of the Legion.
It was also an unbearable experience that made the Lich King rightfully betray his "master" Kilgardan, and threw himself into the arms of the "new master" Akmund without hesitation.
Open the door to greet Akmund.
It is far more important than hunting down civilians and slaughtering Lordaeron.
Or create more Scourge legionnaires, just to better serve the polluters.
In this respect, although Kil'Gardan did something similar to Akmund, he was too much of a failure.
At least Neozu had never had such a great deal of initiative when he was working for fraudsters.
Now that the strategy is in place, all that's left is to execute.
It will take at least three days to digest the results of the battle in Lordaeron.
To be repaired by Carlos. The Naxxramas power furnace destroyed by Barov will take at least half a month.
So what did you rely on to attack Dalaran?
Kel'thugad, of course.
The purpose of attacking Dalaran was not the goal, but the purpose was to snatch the magic items that were looted by Kenrito for various reasons during the Second Orc War.
For example, the Book of Medivan.
Medivan, the Guardian who was originally controlled by the soul fragments of the fallen Titan Sargeras, used this magic item to open the dark door between Azeroth and Draenor.
Similarly, the Lich King could use the Book of Medivan to open a path for Akmund to reach Azeroth.
For this reason, even hunted down the old rival Carlos. Barov is not so important anymore.
As long as Akmund descends on Azeroth again, all the planet's struggles will be in vain.
Pressed for time.
Although he used an ingenious plan to steal the world, he mobilized all the forces that the Scourge had accumulated in Northrend to conquer the city of Lordaeron in one fell swoop.
However, the Lich King did not believe that the Scourge would be able to engage in an all-out confrontation with the Alliance in the Eastern Kingdoms.
The kingdom of Alterac is still there, and Carlos Barov's army is encircling the orcs in Arashi, and there is no need for even more war mobilization.
The main force of the kingdom of Lordaeron is still alive, and the commander Uther. The Lightbringer and his main Silver Hand Knights are battling the Orcs on the Burning Plains.
Magni, the king of war. Although Copperbeard has not wielded his warhammer since the Second Orc War, the Ironforge Fort, which has been recuperating for more than twenty years, cannot be ignored.
Even because of Carlos, the dwarves owe him a favor for the food crisis.
As for Stormwind, it's too far away, so don't even think about it for the time being.
If the alliance recovers, hundreds of thousands of skeleton soldiers are really not enough to cut.
It can only be said that Carlos's efforts over the years have not been in vain, and the alliance he has worked hard for may have the most confidence among all the world lines when it was persecuted by the undead natural disaster.
The premise is that the alliance recovers.
As a result of Arthas's defection, Lordaeron's military system has collapsed substantially, and the largest kingdom within the alliance has fallen into disorderly chaos.
Even many people in Lordaeron don't believe that such a huge change had happened in Lordaeron, and thought it was a shoddy and malicious joke.
But the flight of hundreds of thousands of refugees has not been faked.
The city of Lordaeron must have been in trouble.
By the time Uther got the news, it had been five days after the upheaval in Lordaeron.
After destroying a Blackstone Orc fortress, the Lightbringer sat on the orc's sand table, blocking urgent letters over and over again.
Over and over again.
"Your Excellency?"
Uther's lieutenant noticed that he was looking different, and asked in a low voice.
"Gather the personnel, give the order to the whole army, and prepare to retreat."
"Yes."
Uther calmed down and added.
"Draft the paperwork and send it to Minahir Harbour to get them ready for the ship, Lordaeron needs us."
"Yes."
Not doubting the loyalty of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Uther decided to hide the news for the time being.
The choice of the commander is not right or wrong, after all, the threat of the Blackstone Orcs has not been lifted, and it is not a good choice to shake the morale of the army.
The War King's irritability is much more straightforward.
After all, he is the biggest otaku in Ironforge, and the speed of magic transmission is far faster than that of the griffin book.
Magni. Copperbeard was filled with grief and indignation when he learned that Carlos himself was uncertain about the fate of the enemy.
"When Fort Ironforge suffered, it was Lordaeron, Alterac, Fort Riptide, Gilneis, Dalaran, and the comrades of the Alliance who stood up to support us. Now you want me to calm down? It's not the distance that's far away, it's the human heart! Today, something happened in Lordaeron City, and we dwarves didn't move because we were too far away, so when we dwarves also had problems, who would support us? ”
The Great Craftsman immediately responded to the call of the Dwarven King.
The truth is too correct.
Although the comfortable life has weakened the Copperbeard Clan's will to fight, a dwarf is a dwarf, and the war king is still the war king.
Under Magni's power, Ironforge was even faster than Uther's.
It's just that these are far waters, and they can't solve the near fire.
When Antonidas was besieged in Dalaran, he reluctantly launched an arcane enchantment to close the city.
The main forces of Alterac and the orc horde of Thrall are still facing off against Arathi.
The times make heroes, and at this time, the largest mobile force on the continent of Lordaeron is actually the Brill garrison led by Garithars.
Brill, the source of the conflict between the Barov family and the Minahill family.
Brill, Carlos' dowry to his old father-in-law.
Brill, the largest town east of Lordaeron.
Brill, Carlos. Barov's luckily.
After storming the city walls to open a way for the people of Dongcheng to survive, Carlos fell into a coma from exhaustion.
While the other Lordaeron defenders were waiting to be killed, Brill's garrison descended and snatched Carlos from the Scourge.
Because the general of this garrison was named Garissus, who was once one of Carlos's soldiers.
This is probably karma.
