A day later, at Fort Riptide, in the evening, the sea breeze blew a light rain, which was slightly cool. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Oss woke up looking at the ceiling with his eyes open, not at all. The images that appear in front of his eyes all the time are corpses strewn across the wetlands, stumps and broken arms, and blood flowing wildly.

It is undeniable that no matter what kind of power Oss wield, no matter how many one-on-one battles he experienced, when he personally participated in a tragic battle, when he lost his relatives and close comrades in this world, he still had the aftermath of war.

Footsteps sounded from outside the door, and the wooden door was opened with a "creak", and the four young men entered the house and found the awake Os, and immediately surrounded him with joy.

"Master, you're finally awake!" Troy said.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Master!"

Oss withdrew his gaze to the ceiling, blinked, adjusted his focus, and saw his four long-lost friends, and then sat up with the help of Troy.

"What happened?" Oss asked. His last memory was treating Onexia's Dragonlord Blade's injuries, and he passed out with Onexia, who had returned to his human form.

The four Trojans were silent for a moment, then lowered their voices and said in as calm a tone as possible: "The alliance has won. ”

"The battle with the Dragonthroat Clan didn't last long."

"Then there were earthquakes, collapses, and tsunamis all over the wetland."

"This morning, the griffin knights of the dwarves went to investigate, the orcs are gone, and the wetlands are now completely occupied by the fishmen, and the dwarves estimate that there are at least more than 300,000 of them."

Oss nodded, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Is there a casualty count?" ”

The room suddenly became silent, and the pins could be heard. Troy, Trogda, Seth, and Marcus all buried their heads deeply, not daring to answer, nor daring to look at Oss.

"Are there any casualty statistics?" Oss asked repeatedly, as if he would not give up until he could not get an answer.

As the minutes ticked by, the Trojans still didn't answer. Their faces had turned a little pale, and they should have been fearless youths, but at this time, they seemed to be afraid of the strings of numbers.

"Squeak."

The wooden door opened again, and a large group of dwarves followed Ser Lothar and Chromie in.

As soon as Sir Lothar entered the room, he noticed something strange in the atmosphere: "What's the matter?" ”

"Sir, are there any casualty statistics?"

"......," Sir Lothar was stunned, and then he exhaled lightly, "Yes." ”

At this moment, Oss could clearly perceive that the eldest brother Muradin, the younger brother Brian, Uncle Yuregal, the brothers Nuen and Gothrum, etc., their expressions were very unnatural, and even Chromie's face was gloomy.

Sir Lothar and Oss looked at each other, and he saw the determination in Oss's eyes, and after taking a deep breath, he said slowly:

"Minor injuries, forty-two."

"Seriously injured and maimed, two thousand and sixteen."

As he spoke, Sir Lothar's breathing grew heavier, and his hands clenched into fists.

"Dead ......"

"Sixty-one thousand one hundred and thirty-four killed."

Oss's eyes suddenly turned black, and his brain was almost dizzy, causing a burst of exclamation!

"Os!"

"Brother Os!"

"King!"

"Master!"

Oss propped himself up on the bed and looked at Sir Lothar with sadness, shock, disbelief, self-reproach and guilt, and so on, how he wished Sir Lothar was lying to him!

After a long time, Sir Lothar whispered, "Of the more than 40,000 warriors who initially charged the Horde, the survivors are estimated to be less than a thousand, and the Alliance has defeated the demons without calculation. ”

After a pause, it was difficult to describe the state of mind of Sir Lothar at this moment, and after saying this last sentence: "We, victorious." ”

The word victory made Oss's breath stagnate, and his gaze froze. Then, with a "bang", he smashed his fist through the bed, and his lip was bitten out of blood: "Get me a set of armor!" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they all thought that Oss was going to seek revenge on the Burning Legion.

Muradin even strode to the side of the bed, and pressed Os's shoulders to prevent him from getting up: "Fourth brother, what do you want to do?" Listen to me, you haven't recovered yet! ”

"Smack."

There was a soft sound, and a drop of blood dripped from the corner of Os's mouth, staining the white sheet red: "Find me a set of armor, I will go to worship the soldiers." ”

The dwarves all looked at Sir Lothar, but Lord Lothar said, "Thanks to the shadow energy, we have not been able to collect the remains of our soldiers, and the earthquake and tsunami have hastily withdrawn us to Arathi. Now, the entire wetland is the cemetery of the Alliance, and the sky is full of the heroic spirits of the Alliance's soldiers. ”

In a great war, the Alliance and the Horde left more than 100,000 corpses in the swamp of the wetlands. And the shadow energy corroded and invaded, causing most of the corpses to turn directly into ashes, blending into the swamp and the ocean.

Oss was pressed on the bed by the eldest brother, his hands trembled, and his eyes were about to split: "Where's Daddy? ”

Muradin replied, "Stay here for the time being, and the second brother said that he would wait until the war was over to send his father back to Uldaman." ”

"What about the second brother?"

Uncle Yuregal replied, "Kudran is reluctant to come down from heaven, and Bill is with him." ”

There was another long silence, and the room was very oppressive.

Eventually, Ser Lothar sighed and prepared to leave, he still had a lot of things to do: "The Alliance is going to hold a second meeting of the four clans in Riptide Castle, and Antonidas and Rex are leading the Kenrito Council, as well as Prince Kael'thas and Lord Crassus, are preparing to teleport the magic circle. Archibald also suspended the construction of the Greymane Wall, announcing that he would send a reinforcement of 6,000 men, led by Grand Lord Vincent Goldfrey, to the south. ”

In just one day's effort, among the six kingdoms of the Northern Terrans, the casualties of the great battle were consciously covered up by Your Majesty! And the vigorous propaganda is a glorious victory to wipe out more than 40,000 orc warriors, and a great victory to defeat a demigod-level demon lord!

"Os, you need to recover from your injuries as soon as possible and participate in this meeting as the Dwarven King. Now is different from the past, seeing the strength of the Burning Legion, the alliance will truly unite. ”

However, when Sir Lothar opened the door, Oss broke free from his eldest brother's hand, fell to the ground barefoot, and said in a deep voice, "No! I'm not going to talk to any more! I was wrong once and won't be wrong a second time! ”

The dwarves were startled by Os's change and momentum, and stood there for no apparent reason.

Sir Lothar turned back and asked, "Wrong?" ”

At this moment, the plan in Oss's mind has become clearer and clearer, and his determination, which he was not able to make up his mind before, has finally strengthened: "After meeting the spirit of the dragon eagle Gayale and fighting the demigod avatars of the forest trolls, I confidently believe that the demigods can be defeated!" But I was wrong! ”

Oss's voice became more and more hideous, almost roaring: "Sixty thousand! Thousand! Hundred! Thirty-four fresh lives! Because of my damn mistake, I stayed in the wetlands forever! ”

Sir Lothar's chest heaved violently, and he exclaimed, "We have defeated that demon!" ”

"We don't!" Oss retorted, weeping blood, "We can't even seriously hurt him!" It was another god who really defeated him! ”

Ser Lothar was furious, and he walked quickly to Oss, glared at him and shouted, "Then what do you think we should do!?" Is it invincible to see that demon and choose to run away!? Or do you want to tell our people that the Alliance has paid a huge price and has not been able to do a single bit!? ”

Os, speechless.

Sir Lothar raised his hands and pressed Oss on the shoulders hard: "I tell you, for three thousand years, the Terrans have never chosen to run away!" Because once we choose to run away, we are doomed! Without courage and faith, what the Terrans have lost will no longer be lives, but the future! ”

Oss shook off Sir Lothar's hand, he couldn't agree with the death of more than 60,000 Alliance soldiers, in exchange for unity and a future! He couldn't use this reason to convince himself: "This is irresponsible for life!" That's too much to pay! ”

Sir Lothar said without flinching: "There is war! There will be casualties! This is what you yourself once said! ”

The sound of the quarrel could be heard far away from the room, and outside the door, Melas, Ewell, Pasonia, and the twelve guards of the Grand Royal Swordsmen looked at the closed door with frowns, not knowing what was going on inside.

After a while, the eldest, Yuregar, advised: "We have all paid a terrible price in this battle, and the Brute Hammer has lost its own king, which is enough to make us examine and be wary of the ideas and practices of the past." But, king, generalissimo, this is not the time to quarrel, our enemies are still trying to destroy the world. ”

Oss said nothing more, and Sir Lothar did not say anything more. In the final analysis, the disagreement between the two of them was not a matter of principle, but because the casualties in this battle were so great that Oss had demons in his heart.

Immediately, Oss gathered his belongings without saying a word, and then walked out barefoot in a hospital gown. And at the moment when he staggered with Sir Lothar, he whispered, "I will not let any ordinary person get involved in the war with the demigods. ”

Outside, the cold rain instantly wet Oss's hair and soaked through the woolen hospital gown.

A group of dwarves chased after Ser Lothar and Chromie, and Sir Lothar angrily asked, "Ordinary people!?" What is an ordinary person!? Don't forget, Os, you're the king of the dwarves! Are you going to leave your kingdom, your alliance and your comrades!? ”

Oss didn't turn around to answer, and the blue-gold light suddenly burst and bloomed! He completed the descent of the gods in front of everyone's eyes and transformed into a diamond-like steel giant!

Close your eyes to feel the direction, bend your knees, and bounce.

Just as Oss was about to leave, Chromi's weak voice suddenly sounded: "Bad guy, you...... Where are you going? ”

Oss's movements stiffened, and he looked back at Chromie with a look of apology and confusion in his eyes. But he still left a cold sentence and flew away: "Go find the method of slaying demons and killing gods!" ”
