Chapter 437: Arathi Heights
A bunch of people tear each other down and sarcastically mock each other, which finally dilutes the feelings of parting.
"Gone! I'll go back to Lordaeron. โ
"Then I'll go back too!"
"If you have time to come to Shining Gold Town to find my old George, I will invite everyone to drink!"
The soldiers split into two columns, some going to Stormwind and some to Lordaeron.
They will then split up in the main city and return to their homes.
Kudran. Brute Hammer and Danas. Tolbain goes to Lordaeron together, and the Old Dwarf's Brute Hammer Clan is located on the Eagle's Nest Mountain, which is the Hillsbrad Hills of Lordaeron to the southwest, and the Arathi Highlands due south, the territory of the human kingdom of Stormgard.
Heading home, it's obviously closer to Lordaeron than from Stormwind.
Forty-six points, forty percent of those who returned to Lordaeron, and the remaining sixty percent were basically soldiers of the Stormwind Kingdom.
Unlike ordinary soldiers who happily returned home, Danas. Tol Bain and Kudran. Generals like Brute Hammer need to take on more responsibility.
Danas. Thorbain had no problem riding a griffon, he had nothing to do in the Outlands, and after twenty years of riding, he had perfected his riding skills. Vanessa, the great druid, also reached the pinnacle of Azeroth's ability to control animals, and although the griffon was not very kind to her, he did not refuse her ride.
The trio rode three griffons from Lordaeron and flew over the Hillsbrad Hills before landing in the central part of the Arathi Heights.
There is an undefendable valley floor where many of the remnants and soldiers of the Kingdom of Stormgard retreated after Fort Riptide was overrun by the undead.
Hungry people are everywhere, the soldiers' weapons and equipment are very mediocre, and the management is extremely chaotic.
The remnants call this the Valley of Refuge, but the population pressure in the valley has long since reached its limit, and if it weren't for the rise of Lordaeron and the heavy damage to the Forsaken, it might have been breached.
Looking at the tragic scene of refugees everywhere, Vanessa remembered the Wild West two years ago and the Hearthvale Valley a year ago, where human life was too difficult without military support.
"Is this my people......" Bald Danas had a very hurt expression on his face, when he left his homeland, the kingdom of Stormgard was still a medium-sized country, more than the upper than the lower, but now? It's a refugee camp.
The landing of the three griffons attracted a large number of eyes, and the militia captain in the valley hurried over with his soldiers.
"Captain Niรจs, as promised, I have brought back your new king." Vanessa spoke first.
The young militia captain immediately looked at the two strangers, and the dwarf automatically ignored it, is this bald head the new king?
The next process is not complicated, Danas. With his own fame, inheritance, and the support of the allies, Torbain easily co-opted the militia in the Valley of Refuge.
There is no regular army left in the country, and the only armed force is this militia.
Vanessa has a lot of thieves, and the intelligence of Arathi Heights is not very important, but she has collected a lot.
At this point, after tidying up, she said to Danas. Tol Bain talks about the current situation and the challenges it faces.
There are less than 500 militia in the entire refuge valley, and there are a small number of original Stormgard Kingdom soldiers in the militia, and the rest are civilians, and the level of training can only be said to be acceptable, and it is okay to maintain law and order by relying on them, and it is really very difficult to go into battle and kill the enemy.
Danas. Torbain could recruit some more soldiers from the old subordinates of the Expeditionary Force, but not in large numbers, and most of them did not want to continue serving as soldiers after receiving compensation from the Alliance.
They are all old.
"The lifespan of human beings is so short! A lot of them are awesome guys I watched grow up, it's a pity. The dwarf Kudran said in a loud voice.
Danas shook his head and sighed, and Vanessa clasped her arms without squeaking.
For dwarves, twenty years is a long time, but if you don't die in battle, there is still a lot of time to squander later, but for humans, twenty years is equal to half a lifetime, how many twenty years is there in life?
"Lordaeron will provide some assistance, I have ordered the cavalry of the Second Legion to go south, and the Eighth Legion of Duke Ravenhold will also provide some assistance to the Kingdom of Stormgard, and if needed, the city of Nanhai has also promised to provide you with some food, farming tools and weapons."
"The Hammer Clan can also provide some assistance, but ......" the dwarf was a little embarrassed, "but not too much." โ
In fact, it is the easiest for Lordaeron to directly lead the team to defeat Riptide Castle, but that does not conform to the procedure, and their own people are the main force, with the assistance of outsiders, this is a formal restoration process.
Danas. Torbain's thinking was exactly the same as Vanessa's back then, and after collecting soldiers, he made every effort to retake the capital.
The Hammer Dwarves will provide some griffon knights to take charge of the aerial strikes, and the Lordaeron Navy will blockade Fadil Bay, cut off the forsaken retreat, occupy the capital of Riptide Castle, and once the civilians are settled, they will go to purge the orcs and trolls in the corners.
The plan is basically finalized, Danas. Torbain was busy with the need to recruit a few more soldiers from among the civilian population, and then intensify his training in preparation for a future attack.
A day later, Vanessa left the Valley of Refuge, and she could withdraw when the matter was done, and the next battle did not require her to participate in person, Danas plus Kudran two legendary warriors, fighting Torin. There is no difficulty for Torbain, the father-killing prince, there is no point in her staying at the scene, and the black dragon Onexia has been yelling to play, and if she is not taken out for a walk, this mentally handicapped dragon will rebel.
"Roar!" Onexia took the form of a dragon and ran after the velociraptors in the wilderness.
If you eat it, you can burn it to death, but Onexia is a joke that when the velociraptor is exhausted, she slows down, and when the other party runs away, she sps up.
"Well, take it back and add some food." Looking at the velociraptor foaming at the mouth and being exhausted to death, Vanessa had a little urge to cover her face, too two!
"What is this? It seems a little kind to me? As if she had found a new toy, the black dragon fiddled with a prismatic stone pillar dangling in the middle of the wilderness.
Vanessa looked at the stone pillar and the black dragon strangely: "Kind? โ
The black dragon tilted his head to think, and then felt that the dragon form was a little uncomfortable, and turned into a human form again, and sat on the ground with no grace and pondered.
"It's just a little feeling, and I'm not sure."
The black dragon finally gave her an ambiguous answer.
Hanging stone pillars in the Arathi Heights? Vanessa looked at the pillar twice, then looked around again, as if she was a little impressed.
