Chapter 72: The Orcs Come (1)
After Opp's plot was revealed, Mecatok did not ask to go to Nomorigen to find McNeill again. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In an environment full of radiation, no one can live for such a long time.
Andy also has a question, that is, why there is no radiation in the air in the two places where he rubbed the data, which in his opinion is abnormal. But he didn't bring it up, I'm afraid even Mecatok couldn't give him an answer.
In the end, Magni fully accepted Andy's suggestion, and first set up a defensive line with a large number of dwarven troops from Ironforge to the border of Danmorrow. However, this line of defense can only serve as a surveillance, and if a large number of orcs attack, the defense line will collapse for a while.
At Andy's insistence, Gent, with the dwarves and dwarf emissaries of Ironforge, passed through the passage and took the letters from Magni and Andy, inviting the northern kingdoms to Ironforge to discuss the alliance. The dwarven messenger is the dwarven lord Gofik.
After nearly a month of waiting, the dwarven rangers came with news that a large number of troops had entered the Danmoro in the eastern passage. Andy was overjoyed that they were finally here!
On this day, the weather was not bad. It was hot and gloomy, but no snow fell. Andy rode a goat, standing outside the gate of the small town of Karanos, and on the vast snowfield, a large army of humans had already appeared.
"Andy!" Ghent, who was running ahead, had already seen Andy outside the town, waving his arms and driving the horse over.
Andy smiled slightly, he could see clearly that it was Lothar and Khadgar who were walking in front, and they each represented their own forces. Behind them, it was Nasas who brought the wine bag to his lips as he walked, gulping down his wine. Nasas also saw Andy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
"Andy, good job!" Lothar laughed.
Andy smiled and greeted him politely. Khadgar didn't speak, just smiled at Andy. Nasas walked up and patted Andy on the shoulder.
Behind several people, a figure flashed, and it turned out to be Arthas. Andy looked at him suspiciously, then relieved that he must have come on behalf of Terenus. Andy didn't have a very good impression of him, just one glance and then turned his head away.
All the soldiers who followed were arranged around Karanos, so that the little Karanos instantly became lively.
Lothar and the others followed Andy, changed their mounts, climbed the Danmoro Snow Mountain, and entered the Iron Forge.
"Welcome!" Magni met with the Northern Kingdom at the King's Hall at Ironforge.
The affairs of the alliance went well, and after confirming the obligations of the parties and the troops to be sent, all the arrangements were made. Lothar was particularly active, as his goal was not to defend against the enemy, but to reclaim the fallen city of Stormwind.
! The cold wind howled, and every time it blew, it could bring up a piece of snow powder. The soldiers of the Northern Kingdom all marched to the border, and it was relatively warm. After everyone's concerted efforts, the border between Danmoro and the Scorching Canyon was already impregnable, just waiting for the orcs to come.
The coalition continued to spread out of the scouts, entering the scorching canyon to listen for the orcs. But none of the scouts who entered the canyon have returned.
At this moment, in the middle of the scorching canyon, inside a fortress, the black hand of the orc chief was looking at the assistant Arka in front of him with a cold face.
"You mean, found a human scout here?" The Black Hand asked.
"Yes, and there's more than one team! Although the scouts who were found were killed, it was inevitable that some would slip through the net! Arka nodded, "Shall we hold our ground and find out the situation first?" ”
"Gul'dan's plan cannot be interrupted or postponed, order everyone, trim for three days! Three days later, he advanced at full speed to the north, carrying out Guldan's plan and occupying the continent as soon as possible. The black hand said with a serious expression, "If Gul'dan comes back, we haven't done a good job yet, and you know the consequences!" With that, the black hand raised his half-cut arm and shook it in front of Alka's eyes.
Arka looked at the arm, and a chill ran in his heart, he knew how the black hand's arm had been lost.
Three days later, the army of black-handed orcs marched out, and a large number of orcs roared, brandished their sticks or hammers, and set off all the way north along the canyon.
At the same time, in the coalition camp, all the leaders were in a tent, and everyone frowned, except for Arthas who sat on the sidelines, with an indifferent expression on his face.
Lothar looked at Arthas, and despite the anger in his heart, he really couldn't do anything. In the eyes of Arthas, these people who have lost their country are a bunch of people who eat and drink. The scouts sent out a few days ago were all soldiers from Stormwind City, and now none of them have returned, which makes Lothar's heart continue to drip blood, which is the fire that Stormwind City has managed to keep.
"It seems that the orcs are in the scorching canyon, otherwise none of those scouts have returned!" Lothar said in a deep voice.
Andy nodded and said, "It seems that this is the case, but why is it so calm?" ”
"I said, are you too nervous?" Arthas said, "Haven't you heard, this scorching canyon is a group of canyons, and it is normal for them to not be able to find the right path for a while. ”
Lothar snorted coldly, it's not your person who is missing in the heart, of course you are not in a hurry! "Maybe you're right, but don't take it too lightly." Lothar frowned and said, "Pass the order, defend the whole line tightly, and keep an eye on the movement at the border of the Scorching Canyon!" "Lothar is now the wartime commander-in-chief of the entire coalition army, and the dwarven king Magni is not directly involved in the decision-making, but sends Gofik, the first person in contact with the Northern Kingdom, to the front line, and then accompanies the unhappy Mekatok in Ironforge Castle.
All the peace was shattered one afternoon by a scout who had run back from a scorching canyon. The scout's armor was badly damaged, and the long sword in his hand was only half cut off, and the whole person was drenched in blood. Andy took a closer look, and there were no less than twenty or thirty large and small injuries all over his body, but the most fatal blow was a large pit in his chest.
The armor on his chest was completely dented, and Lothar hurriedly removed the armor on his chest, and the scene inside was even more shocking. The depression of the sternum is visible to the naked eye, and the entire chest and abdomen are collapsing downward, and I am afraid that the ribs have also been broken. This scout of the Lothars, who followed him all the way from Stormwind to here. The scout's eyes had begun to drift, and his lips moved slightly, as if he were saying something.
Andy quickly brings in Lisa, who is a priest and is proficient in the art of healing, and should be able to save him. But Lisa only glanced at it, then shook her head and said, "Don't waste your efforts, he has reached the point where the oil is exhausted, and he can't be saved." ”
"But you're a priest, don't you have the ability to raise the dead?" Andy asked eagerly.
"You think too highly of me, how can I have that kind of skill as a low-level priest." Lisa chuckled, "Resurrection is an ability that only high-level priests have, I can only try to see if I can extend his time, if there is anything to ask!" Lisa said, clasping her hands and whispering a spell, a golden light enveloping the scout's body.
The scout's already scattered eyes immediately gathered together again, and when he saw Lothar standing on the side, he suddenly became excited, and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, the orcs are coming, the orcs are coming!" ”
"What about the others?" Lothar hugged him and asked.
"Dead, all dead!" The scout's excitement undoubtedly made this spell quickly invalidate, his eyes began to drift, and his voice gradually became quieter, until the golden brilliance on his body disappeared, and his head tilted to the side, and he lost his breath.
Lothar bit blood from the corners of her mouth, slammed her fist on the table, and stared hatefully at the outside of the tent.
Just as everyone sighed, several rapid horn sounds came from outside the tent, which was the unique horn sound of Stormwind, three short and one long, striking Lothar's heart.
"Oh no, they're coming!"
