In the end, the orcs launched an all-out attack, and tens of thousands of orc warriors launched a fierce attack on the fortress. With such a disparity in strength between us and the enemy, Captain Marcus of the defending city. Jonas ordered the use of fire, and we arranged fuel around the fortress in advance, and even inside the fortress, and when the orcs attacked in large numbers, they ignited and burned it. Prepare to die with the orc army. ”

"In this attack, the orcs were defeated again, however, out of the three hundred warriors of the Glory Castle, only fifteen remained...... The whole castle of glory, a scorched earth......"

Since then, the orcs have never attacked this fortress again, perhaps because they have also been battered and are no longer obsessed with the gains and losses of a fortress. Or maybe they've made the castle a forbidden place. In short, the orcs never appeared again. In its place, there is another, more terrifying creature - demons. ”

The veteran sat in his place and said, and he could see that Wen Leisa's expression had changed from disdain at the beginning to now moved, and even a trace of tears had crossed the corners of her eyes.

"When the demon first appeared, we knew that there was no hope, and with the fifteen of us, it was impossible to hold this fortress anymore. So, together, we took refuge in the underground shelter of the mine. Waiting for the alliance to come one day and come to our rescue. We prepared a lot of food. That's enough food for a few of us to live for fifteen years. But year after year, we still haven't waited for the alliance to ......"

The veteran choked up as he spoke, and he could barely speak. Several people at the round table looked at him with a heavy heart. Even a tough guy like Jean can't help but have his eyes moist. Valera turned her head away and silently wiped the tears from her eyes. Only Ares and Winlessa sat still, listening to the veteran continue his story.

"Eventually, the mine collapsed and buried us completely. Now, we can't get out anymore. You can't even see the sun and the stars. Do you know this desperation? My comrades and I became the living dead! We are buried in the ground and do not see the light of day! Hopeless! Even if the Alliance comes, will they know that deep underground, there is a Vault? No, no one will know. Even the Glory Castle is in ruins! ”

After the veteran finished speaking, the scene fell silent. Indeed, the miners discovered this shelter by accident, and if it weren't for the further collapse of the mine, no one would have thought that there was a shelter in the middle of the rock formation......

"Damn it, Tyrenus is a bastard! He knew that the expeditionary force might still be alive! ”

After hearing this, Winlessa got up and shouted angrily. Her dagger was stuck on the table, and the hilt of her sword was clattered.

"Calm your anger first, Windranger. Tyrenus can't be blamed for this, with the power of the Alliance at that time, it was impossible to open the dark door, not even you elves. What's more, who in the alliance would agree to Terrenus doing this? The Alliance is originally a united group, and it is not the final word of either party. We must see the objective facts, if it were not for the demon sacrifice and the forced opening of the dark door, there would be nothing we could do about this giant portal. ”

After Wen Lesa finished speaking, Ares immediately persuaded him. lest the enraged Windranger Ranger General distrust the Alliance again...... Although it is true that the Alliance's approach is not always right...... But the enemy is at present, and it is necessary to unite......

"And your comrades-in-arms? I mean, they're all dead? When I opened the stone door, I saw that you were the only one in the shelter. ”

After reassuring Weresa, Ares continued to turn to the Alliance veteran.

At this moment, the faces of the alliance veterans were no longer sad, and were replaced by calm, suffocating calm......

"Yes, they all died, all of them committed suicide. I couldn't see the sun, I couldn't see hope, and in that dark and gloomy dungeon, my spirit was tortured, and finally I couldn't bear it anymore, and all of them committed suicide. I was the only one who survived...... I don't even know how I survived......"

The veteran said, a sickly calm on his face. It was as if those years had been a hellish journey for him. To survive in hell, first, you must first become a demon......

Ares thought of the most terrible thing, and the last thing he wanted to admit. Fifteen soldiers have been preparing food for fifteen years, and it has been a full twenty years since the Alliance's first expedition to Draenor! For the remaining five years, food is not enough in order to survive......

Well, Ares didn't want to think any further. He would rather imagine the veteran as a hero, a legendary hero. And not a murderer with a stain at the end. Of course, it is also possible that everything, as the veteran himself said, his comrades committed suicide...... Regardless, Ares decided to send him back to Azeroth, to Stormwind instead of Lordaeron. The veteran had already suffered a severe mental trauma, and if he were allowed to return to Lordaeron and see his former homeland reduced to a cemetery, it would undoubtedly shatter the last vestiges of his life. Well, this is really too cruel for him.

……

"Now it's confirmed, the orc's base camp is in the Hellfire Fortress. I suspect the Demon Portal is there too. ”

Sending off the veterans, Ares summoned several alliance leaders and Winlessa to meet again. This time, Ares has set his sights on the Hellfire Fortress. The veteran's experience shook him deeply, and he couldn't just wait for help. Those who save themselves, God also saves. If you blindly wait for rescue, maybe wait until Varian and Magni's reinforcements arrive in the Outlands, and the demon army has also completed a large assembly, and then it is not known who will win and who will lose...... For every minute I stay here, one more demon may pass through the portal and arrive in this world. It is imperative to hurry up and close the portals within the Outlands.

"What do you want to do? Ares, you're not going to tell me that you want to fight your way out of the siege with the little force you have now, and then enter the Hellfire Fortress and close the portal? ”

Wen Lesa asked with a little surprise. Through this collaboration, Windranger already knew that the Silver Hand Paladin in front of him could do anything. He's a madman.

"Why not? You didn't hear from the veteran, Tulayan wanted to send an elite army into the Hellfire Fortress at the last moment to kill the orc leader. Why can't we do that now? ”

Ares said, turning his head.

You can see that Valera and Jean on the side are looking worried, and Ares is going to do something stupid again...... That's their first reaction......

"Can it be the same then as it is now? Besides, you are not Tulayan, and the current Union Expeditionary Force is not the Union Expeditionary Force of the past. Back then, the Alliance Expeditionary Force gathered the strongest lineup of Azeroth, and now, what do we have? This force was even put together on an improvised basis! ”

Sitting across from Ares, Winlessa retorted.
