The consequences of the defeat in the Dark Swamp were soon apparent—Nighttown was lost, Twilight Forest was lost, Shining Gold was lost, Donggu was lost, Lakeside was lost, and even Northshire was lost.

Orgrimmar learned the lesson of the Black Hand of the Great Chieftain, and this time the orcs did not venture again, but chose to fight steadily, through gradual expansion, little by little, encroaching on the territory of the Storm Kingdom. They were like a swarm of locusts, taking over all the human towns they could see before moving forward. In this way, even if the speed of the march is several times slower, there will be no major hidden dangers. Even if they fail again, the orcs won't be as crushed as they were last time.

These green-skinned beasts are getting more and more cunning.

Standing on the walls of Stormwind, Anduin couldn't help but feel sad for himself and for the fate of the kingdom.

In addition to the West Spring Fortress and the Fertile Fields in the West, can the current Stormwind Kingdom find a complete territory? The orcs have taken up almost all the land they can occupy. Even if the West Springs Fortress and the Fertile West Wilderness, it is the orcs who want to deal with Stormwind City and can't take care of it for the time being, once the orcs pull out their hands, those two places can't stand it.

Now, the Kingdom of Stormwind can be called an important moment for its survival, if the orcs cannot be defeated in Stormwind City, this human kingdom that has been founded for hundreds of years will probably be doomed.

Could it be that the Stormwind Kingdom would be the first human kingdom to be destroyed by an alien race since Soladin the Great?

Anduin smiled bitterly, it doesn't matter if Rhine was assassinated, the important thing is that the death of that guy caused the kingdom's army to be defeated in the dark swamp, and even if he was full of his strength, he only brought back less than forty percent of the men and horses. The previous king left such a mess, and Anduin, the new regent, did not scold his mother, but it was a sign of recuperation.

Defend Stormwind?

That's right, the orcs have once again slaughtered in front of Stormwind City, and they are about to attack the city. In front of this city, which has existed since the Storm King's kingdom, a fierce offensive and defensive battle will begin.

The last time the orcs were defeated and lost, what will be the result this time?

Looking up at the huge beasts as huge as a mountain wandering in space, Anduin felt bitter in his heart, it was precisely because of the existence of this creature called the dragon that the orcs were able to enter a no-man's land, defeat the human army one after another, and force the Stormwind Kingdom to the danger of extinction.

How could orcs like uncivilized barbarians take a powerful creature like a dragon as a mount?

Anduin couldn't understand that with the combat power of the dragon, a hundred or even a thousand orcs might not be able to get a dragon, and they really couldn't resist the tactics of the sea of people, and the dragon could still fly. Now, there were not just one or two dragons hovering over Stormwind, but dozens, covering the sky and the sun, casting shadows like Anduin's mood—gray and oppressive.

Even the commanders are like this, can the soldiers be an exception?

Look at the desperate eyes in their eyes when they look at the sky, their bodies trembling under the dragon's might, what can be expected of them?

Hold Stormwind?

No sane person holds out hope.

I just hope to delay as much as possible.

So far, Anduin can only drag on for a while.

Marcus trotted over to Anduin, leaned over and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Lord Duke, Lord Berval is doing his best to collect ships, but there are too many people and wealth in Stormwind to be transported in a short period of time. ”

After all, it is a royal capital with hundreds of years of accumulation, and the wealth in Stormwind City is an astronomical amount that cannot be counted. If the city is really breached by the orcs, isn't it an enemy to keep this wealth? Take them away, one is not to leave the good things to the enemy, the second is to preserve the history of the kingdom, and the third is the most important, that is, to leave yourself the capital to make a comeback.

You must know that if Stormwind is really breached, the Stormwind Kingdom will be destroyed, and no matter what Anduin thinks, he must first recover the Stormwind Kingdom before he can talk about anything else. The restoration of the country is not as simple as words, it needs to recruit an army, and the army is the most ferocious gold-swallowing monster, can it be done without money?

Anduin looked left and right and saw that there was no one within a few meters of him, so he replied to Marcus in a low voice: "You also saw that there are so many big guys in the sky, I can't guarantee that I can stop it for too long." ”

The threat of the dragon is too great, the majestic wall built by the human race with the strength of the whole country can play little role in the encounter with the dragon, the tall wall can block the threat of the orcs from the land, but it can't stop the dragon that can fly, Anduin doesn't want to give Marcus a guarantee of how many days he can defend, but he is not confident.

Maybe in half a day, maybe in an hour, Stormwind will fall, who can tell?

The human armies had never faced the dragons, and there was no accurate reference for the latter's lethality, which Anduin could not estimate.

The weakness of the human beings against the Dragon Legion has been fully revealed, not to mention the ferocious orcs, this battle will not be able to drag on for long even if he has the intention of dragging on for a moment.

Marcus hesitated for a moment and put forward his own suggestion: "Then let's transfer the population and food and other living materials first, and leave the jewelry and other things for the end?" ”

Logically speaking, this should indeed be done, jewelry and other things can neither eat nor drink, hunger can not be satisfied, cold can not protect against the cold, in the country is far less practical than a bag of food and a piece of clothing.

But can the things of the world be solved reasonably?

Anduin sighed, "I would like to agree to your proposal, the question is is it possible?" To make the nobles of the fallen country give up the gold, silver and jewels is tantamount to taking their lives, do you think they will obey my orders? ”

For the nobles of the Stormwind Kingdom, it is extremely difficult to make them give up their belongings. The Stormwind Kingdom is gone, as long as they keep their belongings, they can still live a luxurious life when they flee to the Seven Northern Kingdoms such as Lordaeron, and for them, it is just a different place to live. If they have no belongings, no money, and no income from their territory in a foreign land, will they soon be reduced to the streets and in the company of the untouchables they despise? This is absolutely unacceptable to the aristocracy.

Marcus's suggestion is good, but the likelihood of implementation is zero.

If the living materials are not enough, in the process of fleeing, people will die, and many, many people will die.

Marcus lowered his eyes, he was born in a poor place, he was not interested in aristocrats, and now he hated these guys who occupied high positions but only thought about themselves.

Sure enough, it's best to follow Lord Ainan, no matter how virtuous the son of the Grand Duke of Lothar is, all he has to consider is the interests of the nobles.
