Chapter 459: The dust settles and the noise rises
In Lordaeron's panic, the news of the great victory of the Burning Plains came, and the vast majority of people were dumbfounded.
Win?
Win!
How to win?
Win the war!
Oh, and I won......
The mountain that once weighed on the hearts, bodies, minds, and memories of all human beings has been overthrown.
Those terrible orcs have failed......
After a brief lull, there is great joy.
Since four years ago, the invincible and unstoppable orc tribe has finally been defeated at the hands of the brave and fearless Coalition soldiers.
Isn't it worth rejoicing that humanity has finally reversed the tragic future of the destruction of the nation and the annihilation of the nation by virtue of iron and blood?
It's worth it!
Is this something to be happy about?
Perhaps......
The news of Lothar's death touched the rear far more than the front.
The desperate soldiers on the front line learned that the generalissimo had died heroically after the battle, and they were sad but not afraid, thinking more about avenging Sir Lothar.
The aristocratic lords who contributed money and goods in the rear were really broken.
Anduin. Lothar is dead, that Stormwind Lion is dead, who can unite the entire Alliance!
No.
Even if it's Terenus. Neither did Minecil II.
Carlos was right in his fears, in the big rear of the Alliance, there were already plans for a big navy.
Confronting the orcs across the sea seemed to be the best option.
There are even people who secretly want to compromise and negotiate peace with the orcs.
Orcs aren't that bad, are they?
Tribes are reasonable, aren't they?
The main Anduin. Lothar is dead, isn't she?
In a world where magic and prowess are the mainstream, that's how big the role of a leader is.
In a dark tide, Carlos. Barov was born out of thin air, leading the alliance that became a mourning soldier to fight to the death with the Horde.
Do you want to cheer for the Messiah?
White! Day! Do! Dream!
Anduin. What kind of character is Lothar, the last descendant of Soladin the Great, and the last de jure heir of the Empire of Arathso. What is Carlos of your Barov family, how can he be with Anduin. Lothar is on a par.
In the midst of smiles and compliments, Alex. Barov was keenly aware of the undercurrents and crises.
isolated.
The Barov family was isolated, and the kingdom of Oakland was isolated.
Feared.
Anduin. Lothar traded the last righteous for the support of the Seven Kingdoms of Lordaeron, and now, the most powerful force of the Seven Kingdoms, the war behemoth called the Alliance, has fallen into the hands of his son, Carlos, after defeating another war monster called the Horde.
If Carlos really had the idea of becoming emperor and could get the support of the front-line soldiers, the now empty Lordaeron would not be able to stop him.
Every time Alex thought about this, his inner restlessness couldn't stop.
Hilbride still has 100,000 reservists, half of which belong to Alterac, and the legions formed after the various countries cannot be compared with the veterans of the Alliance on the front line......
Son, don't figure it out, it's not necessarily a knife that kills someone, it can also be a rumor!
The Grand Duke of Alterac's Regent laughed every day, and in case Carlos's brain was hot, everything was over......
So, in the end, Terenus finally made a move after clearing his thoughts.
I helped my son-in-law.
Terenus, as the leader of the Alliance, demanded that Carlos give up his military duties and return to his country.
This old political fox is in Anduin. For the first time since his death, Lothar has publicly given orders as the leader of the Alliance, and his first order is to ask Carlos, the current de facto military leader of the Alliance. Barov relinquished his military power and returned to Lordaeron.
It was a big gamble, a decision that no one else dared to make.
If Carlos. Barov refused, will humanity have a civil war?
No one has a bottom in their hearts.
At this juncture, whose name is the name of all the citizens, the farmers, the poor people who have been devastated by the war?
Paladin King ———— Carlos. Barov!
Carlos, who is still alive and is only in his twenties, has been canonized in the hearts of the people.
The canonization of the living generally does not end well.
Although all the noble lords knew that this craze would not last long, the people who had been suppressed by the war for a long time would return to the trivial life of firewood, rice, oil and salt after ten days and half a month at most.
But this frenzied ten days and half a month will determine the future of human society.
This command of Terenus brought out the worries in everyone's hearts.
No one pointed a finger at Tyrenus for calling himself the leader of the Alliance, but admired his audacity in their hearts. Even Alex. Barov also wrote privately to thank his father-in-law for his righteousness.
Now the only problem is Carlos. What Barov thinks.
Any promise is pale in the face of rights......
The means of magical communication are no longer safe, and both Tyrenus and Alex have chosen the most primitive and secure way to deliver messages ———— messenger.
In the Red Ridge Mountains, the Alliance's army marched straight into Lakeside Town, which had been besieged for four and a half years, and tens of thousands of Stormwind refugees ushered in the long-lost blue banner in the midst of daily despair.
But Carlos didn't have the energy to meet the legendary mayor Solomon.
He didn't even follow the army further south, but stayed in the Burning Plains to pick up the pieces.
It was true that the coalition won, but the victory was so miserable.
120,000 people participated in the battle, 47,137 were killed, 3,326 were missing, 11,000 were seriously wounded, and 472 were seriously wounded.
In the end, the 30,000 iron horsemen who laid the victory, the strongest mobile force that human society could put together, after the first battle, the war horses lost more than 20,000 horses, of which forty percent were Alterac horses.
It can be said that this victory was the result of everyone's joint efforts, and Carlos only fought against the retreating man in the back.
He is not so great and important.
Great are all the Union fighters who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die.
The important thing is that the alliance did not collapse despite more than half of the casualties, and finally ushered in the dawn of victory.
More than 20,000 orcs were killed in battle, more than 30,000 were taken prisoner, and the initial estimate of the fugitives was less than 10,000.
And the alliance still has 70,000 soldiers to fight in the south.
Three fights and one may lose, seven fights and one you tell me how to lose!
As long as the Blood Cave Clans in the Twilight Forest are fighting against the Gulabash trolls, the Orc's Azeroth strategy can be declared a failure.
Carlos's long-term efforts have paid off.
Because of the advance of time, Neozu simply cannot afford to send more orcs through the Dark Gate to continue invading Azeroth before dealing with the Goria Empire and the Raven Empire.
The battle of the Burning Plains is already the swan song of the orcs.
The next question is how many orcs will be able to escape.
So after disposing of the bodies of the fallen soldiers, Carlos received a letter from Terenus on the day he returned to Ironforge to coordinate supplies.
It wasn't an official letter from the Courier, but a private message from Terenus's confidant a day in advance.
There is only one sentence on it.
"It's better to decide at worst than to hesitate."
