Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sooner or Later

Wendthor seemed to see the confusion in Karl's eyes, and quickly introduced himself, and the soldiers who participated in the raid on Karazhan all admired the young and powerful Karl.

"I'm kao~ Marshal." Carl was taken aback, he had done the task about this guy seriously, and he remembered it very well.

"Marshal? The marshal is mobilizing his troops to prepare for the orcs. Windsor gave Carl a blank look, then pointed to the soldier nearby, "This is Jonathan, Marcus Jonathan." ”

It turned out to be the captain of the city management team of Stormwind City, it seems that you are already good friends at this time.

"Hello, Jonathan."

"Hello, Lord Karl!" Marcus Jonathan was also excited, and Carl could feel the excitement of getting up close and personal with his idol.

Motioning to the hostess to bring them two glasses of cuvée.

"Aren't you supposed to be involved in setting up the defenses?" Carl asked.

Wendthor took the wine and toasted Karl, then took a sip: "The marshal was worried that our bodies had not yet recovered, so he gave us a holiday first. But seriously, Lord Karl, your Holy Light healing is so powerful that after you finished casting the spell, I felt that my body had fully recovered, even better than before. I really don't know how to thank Your Excellency. ”

Jonathan also nodded seriously on the side, "Yes, Lord Karl's Holy Light Spell is the most powerful and purest I have ever seen, even the Lord Bishop can't match. ”

Of course, Carl knows what's going on, his holy light is directly transformed by light energy, sunlight breeds all things, that is, sunlight contains huge energy needed for the growth of animals and plants, Carl's holy light is completely extracted from the essence that is useful to living beings, and then acts on living beings, of course, the effect is much better than Azeroth's holy light.

Carl smiled at the two of them, without explaining, and subtly shifted the conversation to the orcs that Stormwind was about to face, and Carl also told the two of them about what he knew about the orcs, hoping to help the two of them.

The orcs came quickly, and the tribe that was integrated by Orgrim Doomhammer burst out of its powerful strength, and the orcs broke through all the way from Night Town to Shining Gold Town, and the human resistance along the way was simply unstoppable, and the orcs who had been replenished with supplies became stronger and stronger.

Karl had privately suggested to Lothar that the walls should be cleared, but unfortunately Lothar shook his head and did not speak, Karl could probably guess that the confident king could not have given up those lands and directly withdrew his army.

The people are the ones who make sacrifices for politics. Hehe.

Carl is not from Stormwind, so naturally he will not have any burden, but he just sighs at those who died in vain. Lothar was also aware of Stormwind's situation, and he was already planning a retreat in his mind.

Orgrim inspects the construction of siege catapults, which, according to the Scouts, are tall and strong, and the orcs must build catapults powerful enough to destroy what humans consider to be an impregnable fortress.

"Chief, we've got Garona!" It is a matter of glad to report to the Great Chief.

The Great Chief nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, "This makes me a little more sure, hahaha." ”

In the palace of Stormwind City, the orcs occupied the town of Shining Gold, cutting off the support around Stormwind City, and the looming war finally panicked the aristocratic lords who were accustomed to enjoying a comfortable life.

The ugly faces of the upper nobles were undoubtedly revealed at this moment, and some of the nobles were clamoring for the king to order the militia units in the Fertile West, Twilight Forest, Red Ridge Mountain, and other places to rise up to support Stormwind; Some nobles felt that orcs were also intelligent creatures and should negotiate with them, perhaps these orcs just wanted a territory where they could live; Some nobles have been frightened by the brutality of the orcs, and forcefully demanded that the king immediately lead everyone to escape, oh, retreat, strategic retreat

Lothar looked at the noisy crowd, and a deep sense of powerlessness and pain surged in her heart, but as a hero of Stormwind City, Lothar quickly adjusted her emotions, things have not yet reached the worst step, everything still has a chance, force herself to cheer herself up.

"Enough!" He slammed it on the table, and the loud noise silenced the noisy crowd, and the nobles all looked at him in disbelief.

"We have endured countless hardships since our ancestors settled on this land, but we have persevered, and Stormwind, under the leadership of His Majesty the King, is growing in glory." Lothar clenched her fists and continued, "And now, these savage creatures who have come from another world, the orcs, are invading our land, and our people are struggling in agony under their merciless butcher's knives. ”

Lothar's face contorted, and people could see the pain in his heart, and he raised his voice: "You beg that they will spare us, no, these orcs will not pay attention to our representations at all, they are brutal and ruthless, they destroy everything, all we can do is to take up the weapon in our hands, stab the orcs in the chest, and defend the glory of Stormwind!" ”

King Ryan stood up, he swept every nobleman with his sharp eyes, and then said in a solemn tone: "The soldiers of Stormwind are brave and good at fighting, the walls of Stormwind are impregnable, as long as we and the people still have brave hearts, the walls and throne will never fall, Stormwind will always stand, and victory will definitely belong to us in the end!" ”

The nobles were not hot-blooded young men, nor were they soldiers willing to die for the kingdom, and they did not cheer after listening to the passionate speeches of Lothar and the king, but their panicked hearts were finally stabilized. The king is right, we still have valiant soldiers willing to die for Stormwind, and there are strong walls to defend and wait for reinforcements, so let's defend them first.

The nobles agreed, and went home to continue their drinking. Fighting, you say? This belongs to the soldiers who are willing to shed their blood, the nobility is their brains, and they need to be strategic, not to fight the ugly monsters like a barbarian.

Carl felt that there were these people in Stormwind City, and Stormwind City was completely hopeless, and when the king died, Lothar would not be able to suppress the field, and he would probably have to evacuate. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to lose faith in Lothar, the man he respected, he would have escaped and flown back to Quel'Thalas, and if he worked for these disgusting guys, Carl would have twisted their necks in turn.

The next day, the orc attack finally came.

Ryan and the nobles of Stormwind finally saw the true colors of the orcs, and sure enough, as Cad and Lothar said, they were ugly and hideous, with green skin, red eyes, and thick black plate armor, and roared towards Stormwind.

Carl saw a few timid fellows with trembling legs and even a wet mass under their feet, and immediately turned his head away, disgusted.

Indeed, the walls of Stormwind were as tall and strong as the king had said. The huge boulders fired by the orc catapult smashed into the walls, causing only some moss and dross to fall from the stones of the walls. Ryan nodded in satisfaction, then handed it to Lothar, who had a faint hint of worry in her eyes.

The catapult smashed into the wall with little effect, and Orgrim began to get them to adjust their targets and start smashing people. Then, under cover, the orcs screamed and began to charge. Stormwind's archers and mages were already on standby, and waves of arrows and spells pounced on the orcs, and the orcs who were hit by the arrows fell weakly, and the orcs behind continued to step on the corpses of their companions and push the crashing car towards the city gate.

Karl finally saw the means of Azeroth's attack, Nima, who didn't even have a ladder, and was embarrassed to attack the city, he finally understood why the orcs in the original book couldn't take fortress cities like Stormwind and Lordaeron for a long time, and completely relied on a rush to break open the city gates, and then kill the city and destroy the resistance.
