Rumble!!!

After the loud and trembling roar of the ground, the Stormwind Alliance coalition forces who were cowering in the defense camp on the outskirts of Nanhai Town sadly found that another boulder had struck from the sky in the distance and smashed directly into one of their wooden arrow towers, killing and wounding countless coalition archers, and the enemy once again smashed the wooden tower that they had built with great difficulty for two days......

"Evil Stormwind and the demons of Eredar, come out bravely and face the judgment of fate! The Holy Light will surely purify you all! ”

The Chaste Saint led a large group of Silver Hand Paladins on horseback, shouting loudly at the enemy's line and more enemies in the camp from afar.

In the past few days, she has become fond of this kind of thing with a large group of dog-legged paladins to wantonly bully those evil coalition forces and Eredar demons, which is a practice that can make her feel physically and mentally happy!

Now, she has become the honorary leader of the Holy Light Church under the Flame Alliance and the goddess of the Holy Light, and what she has to do every day is to teach those paladins or priests to grasp the mysteries of the Holy Light, and at the same time, she also needs to guide those warriors who cannot receive the response of the Holy Light, but are willing to believe in her to pray and bless them together, which is just a very meaningful act that makes her feel very new.

Then, when you have time, just like now, you can also bring one or two thousand paladins and go directly south to Nanhai Town to find trouble with the Stormwind Alliance.

Just now, she picked up a few big rocks and threw them at the other party's camp from a distance, which really made her feel very happy! If it weren't for the fact that the other party had a lot of artillery and various defenses in the camp that made her afraid to approach, maybe she would have gone in and killed several times.

"Lady of Light......

"There are too many people on the other side, and besides, you have dug up all the rocks here...... My subordinates think, let's go back early, right? Otherwise, Generalissimo Garissus would have blamed us for accompanying you out in private! ”

Paladin Bridget Abydis, who was carrying a golden one-handed broadsword forged from half of the lower part of Naru's body and blessed by the chaste saint, pulled the reins with both hands and rode slowly to the feet of their goddess of light.

Then, looking up at this person who was having a lot of fun like a big child, and seemed to be still patrolling around, wanting to find more huge stones to smash the opposite evil coalition army, the Holy Light Titan persuaded him.

Somehow, Bridget always felt that their new goddess of the Church of Light seemed to be ...... A little tainted with some of the bad habits of the Anne master of their alliance?

Now, take a look at the surrounding land......

In front of the enemy's battalion's defensive line, this grass has been dug out one after another by this huge Holy Light Female Titan, and smashed all the big stones originally buried in the grass into the enemy camp in the distance...... Regardless of the amount of damage caused by the enemy, at least, all the buildings that could be seen inside the enemy, those large wooden houses or watchtowers, were all smashed into ruins!

Maybe this is the advantage of being big, relying on her huge invulnerable body, this female titan can just stand in the distance and dig out rocks to throw around, while the enemy can only stare dryly, and dare not rush out casually to find trouble.

Because, once their coalition forces in Stormwind dared to break free from the protection of those magic, artillery, and various fortifications, after rushing out, they would not face those boulders that could see the trajectory and were easy to dodge, but those steel arms and huge soles!

No one would be stupid enough to run into the wilderness and get in trouble with an Iron Titan that can't be seen or smashed, and certainly not the soldiers of the Stormwind Alliance.

"Bridget...... Well, my Warrior of the Light...... Your suggestion is right......"

"Well, let's stop here for today...... Come back another day......"

After looking around, there was indeed no sturdy object that could be easily thrown by herself, and the chaste saint could only reluctantly nod, and finally glanced at the evil people who were hiding in the camp in the distance and the Eredas who were blaspheming the Holy Light, before turning her head and leading her paladins to stride away arrogantly.

“……”

Standing in front of the hall on the third floor of a castle in Nanhai Town, looking at the chaos of his own camp in the distance, a certain marshal's mood could not be calmed for a long time.

Anyway, Marshal Reginald Windsor has been having a hard time lately......

Because he found that the Northern Expedition coalition forces of the Stormwind City Alliance, after the last defeat, no longer had the ability to attack again...... Some of the culprits are the damned Titan of Light, the giant who claims to be the 'Goddess of Light' and is made of unknown white metal all over!

Because, every now and then, that damn iron man would bring a paladin with a silver hand with a glittering golden light to walk around their line of defense. If it's just hanging out, that's fine...... However, the other side still changed their tricks, constantly attacking or persuading the soldiers of their coalition forces......

For example, the kind of boulder throwing attack just now, the lethality is not great, and he has not yet been reported how much he lost, but ...... One thing is for sure: the other person's behavior is a serious blow to their morale!

What's worse is that there is nothing they can do about it.

Thankfully, in the case of defense, their large-caliber artillery and various defenses against the opponent were enough to make that damn Titan dare not come close! Otherwise, he really didn't dare to imagine how bad the battle situation would be.

Therefore, after careful discussion with the Draenei prophet Velon, he felt that there were not enough spellcasters on his side to deal with the metal titan who could use the Holy Light, so they had to reluctantly abandon the camp on the Talenmere front and retreat directly south to the South Sea Town, and never went out again.

Here in the Hillsbrad Hills, apart from keeping Dunhold Castle and the South Point Gate confrontation camp to the west, they have basically abandoned the territory they had occupied for more than half a year......

After deeply realizing that high-end combat power with strong deterrent power can have a huge impact on the battle situation, Marshal Reginald Windsol immediately sent a letter to the headquarters of the Stormwind Alliance and King Varian of Stormwind City to request support on the day he withdrew to South Sea Town, asking the Alliance to send a large number of high-level mages or other high-level professionals to the Northern Expedition Alliance, such as warlocks, druids, and so on.

But what he didn't understand was that three full days had passed, and they still hadn't heard back, so that now, their army of tens of thousands of people could only nest in Nanhai Town, watching the Titans who appeared from time to time outside and the paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand come and go as they wanted......

“……”

"Forget it, let's let the enemies be proud for a while!"

Aside from verbally saying a few words of comfort to themselves, they would definitely not dare to go out and act rashly until the powerful support of the Stormwind City Alliance arrived...... Otherwise, if they were to be killed by the Iron Titan in the field again, there wouldn't be any more of that terrifying rain of fire magic to help them get in their way.

(*/ω＼*)……

Therefore, after seeing that the other party finally left, Reginald turned back a little lonely and sat down and chatted with the Draenei prophet Velon, who had been staying here.

"Lord Veron, I've always been curious about your Draenei coming to the world of Azeroth! And also...... The Titan of Light outside, she keeps calling you Eredar Demons...... And I also found that you and the demons of the Burning Legion ...... Even, it looks like the portrait of the powerful god-like polluter Akmund...... So, may I take the liberty of asking you a few words: what does this Draenei race of yours have to do with those Eredas? Also, how did you end up in the world of Azeroth? ”

"Of course, if there's anything inconvenient, you don't have to say it...... After all, this is just my personal doubt, and it has nothing to do with the position of the alliance. ”

In this way, in the hall on the third floor of this small castle in Southsea Town, which had not been too badly damaged by the war, Marshal Reginald Windsol and the great prophet of the Draenei, Veron, sat face to face and chatted with each other.

"Marshal Reginald...... In fact, there is nothing that cannot be said about this matter. ”

"Countless years ago...... Whether it's those Eredar in the Burning Legion, or that polluter Akmund, or even Kil'Gardan...... We're all just ordinary Eredas on the planet Argus. ”

"At that time, I, Akmund and Kilgardan, were the three elders of our Argus world, until one day, the Dark Titan Sargeras arrived......"

Remembering the events of that year, Veren had to fall into deep thought, and slowly talked about all the things in their Argus world and the dark Titan Sargeras of the Burning Legion.

Thinking about the past few days, every time that female titan came to visit, he would always point at them draenei and scold the demon, and he himself had actually wanted to explain this matter for a long time, but he didn't have the chance, and he didn't bother to explain it.

These days, the Draenei get along fairly well with humans, dwarves, gnomes, and night elves in the Alliance, and now that the relationship between Veren and Reginald Windthor is relatively harmonious, it's not a big deal to explain to each other about their race's past unbearable. At least, after the two sides communicated, he no longer had to worry about receiving the kind of suspicious gaze from his allies when he was pointed at the demon by a female titan in the future!

"That's probably how it was at the time......"

"In the end, with the help of the great creatures of the Light, with the help of the Naru, we managed to escape from the world of Argus and escape from the clutches of the Burning Legion...... Since then, we no longer call ourselves Eredas, but 'exiles' or 'outcasts...... And this word, pronounced in the Ereda language, is Delaney......"

"However, the Burning Legion of Sargeras and my two former best friends have always haunted the departure of our Draenei, and they have never given up their pursuit of us for countless years, even when we fled to Draenor, now the Outlands."

"Eventually, in the Outlands, Kil'Gardan discovered us, and then ...... It's about Naozu, Gul'dan, the Dark Gate, and the shattered planet Draenor...... Now in the Outlands, as you know, the whole land has been corrupted by demonic power and evil spells......"

"In our bloody war with the horrible and evil orcs who wield demonic powers, we have lost again...... After hundreds of years of multiplication, after that battle, more than 80% of our people died at the hands of the orcs manipulated by the demons, and the rest had to flee in all directions......"

"As for what happened next, Marshal Reginald must have known it yourself, we escaped from the Shattered Outlands aboard the giant ship Essoda, and finally accidentally crashed on the Secret Blue Island of the world of Azeroth......"

"I think this may be the guidance of the Light...... It is the Great Light that has brought us together to fight against the evil Burning Legion! ”

When he first came to this world, Veron was actually very shocked that the Stormwind Alliance was able to defeat Akmund the Polluter and crush the invasion of the Burning Legion.

Later, when he learned from the Night Elves again that in ancient times, the other party had even smashed the conspiracy of Sargeras and defended this world from the other party's hands, he resolutely decided to join the other party's alliance to defend this beautiful world of Azeroth and fight against the Burning Legion together!

"yes...... Praise the Light......"

Finally, after knowing the specific origin of the Draenei, Marshal Reginald Windsol nodded in understanding, if this is really the case, then the reason why the Holy Light Female Titan pointed at the nose of the Draenei many times and scolded the demon, it is clear.

"By the way, Lord Veron, you just said that the three elders of Eredar have a fraudster of Kir Gardan in addition to you and the polluter Akmund who we killed?"

"This name, our expeditionary legion in the outer regions has sent back a few words about the other party many times, but the details are not very clear, can you tell me more?"

The strength of the Burning Legion was something that Reginald could tell from both a few years ago and from the Outlands. From ancient times to the present, many of Sargeras's conspiracies have been crushed, and Akmund is dead, so now the last remaining Kilgardan, who is still making waves in the Outlands and ready to come to the destruction of the world of Azeroth, said that he is really concerned, and he also wants to know some information about the other party, so that he can be prepared when he meets in the future.

"That Kil Gardan......

"He was the wisest and most eminent of our three Eledar elders...... His talent is nothing short of prodigy, and he is resourceful...... It's just that he's so obsessed with studying magic and other mystical powers that he's easily seduced by the knowledge of the Dark Titan Sargeras......"

When Veron wanted to continue to say something, he suddenly stopped. Because he saw a heavily armed guard running in outside the door, and the other party was holding a roll of what seemed to be an official document?

"Report! Your Excellency, Marshal! The latest order from the Stormwind Alliance Command! ”

Then, ignoring the Draenei prophet Veron next to him, the guard stepped forward and respectfully handed the unopened letter, which had not been opened, rolled up and tied with rope, and even had a fire-lacquered seal printed on the opening, to Marshal Reginald Windsor.

This is a direct military order from the High Command, and he cannot afford to delay it in the slightest.

"Great, news from Stormwind is finally here! I want to see what kind of support they can send us. Is it a mage, or one of those great druids of the Night Elves? ”

"Anyway, don't send us warriors or paladins......"

Seeing that there was no problem with the fire paint seal of the letter and the way the thin rope was tied, Reginald quickly ripped the rope open, then broke the complete fire paint, and began to quickly scan through the ten lines at a glance.

However......

Reginald, who was originally very happy, frowned more and more when he saw this order from Stormwind City, and the more he looked at it, the more angry his face became...... Finally, his expression changed several times before he let out a deep sigh and slapped the command heavily on the improvised wooden table beside him.

Originally, he thought that there was a relevant explanation about the strength of the reinforcements, as well as the specific date of the arrival of the reinforcements, but who would have thought that it would be such a big reversal?

"What's the matter, Marshal Reginald, what's wrong?"

Seeing the other party's performance, Wei Lun didn't try to watch the order, but asked directly.

"Alas......"

"There has been an upheaval in our Stormwind Kingdom: our great granary, the Brotherhood of Defia in the Wild West, has successfully revolted, established the Republic of Defia and is sweeping the Wild West! And our army, you know, is now here in the Outlands and the Northern Expeditionary Army...... As a result, Stormwind's army was overly defended and underattacked, so they had to sit back and watch the enemy grow in the Wild West! ”

"Coupled with the return of the enemy's Flame Queen to the world of Azeroth, the Command and the Alliance leaders felt that after discussion, the evil Flame Legion, those powerful fire elemental armies are likely to reappear in the near future, so they rejected our request for reinforcements, and ordered us to end the offensive battle of the Northern Expedition as soon as possible, maintain the current state of confrontation for the time being, and transport part of the main force back to Stormwind City in order to clear the Republic of Defia, which has risen and threatened the safety of Stormwind City!"

Speaking of this, Reginald sighed heavily, this is really a plan that can't catch up with the change, but what can he say when the matter has come to this?

He himself knew that the orders of the High Command of Stormwind City and the King were correct, and now that their attack was frustrated, they retreated back to Nanhai Town, and if they continued to increase their troops on the Northern Expedition, would Stormwind City still want it?

Thinking of the Brotherhood of Defia, Reginald can't help but think of the damned aristocrat Catlana Presto whom he personally exposed last year, the damned female black dragon, all of whom caused it all! Although the other party was driven away by their Stormwind City, the purpose of the black dragon was also achieved, and the inside and outside of the Stormwind Kingdom was indeed made a mess by her!

And that Defia Republic is obviously one of the problems she left behind back then! Now, it's just a matter of breaking out at the right time.

Reginad felt that when the Stormwind Kingdom was done with everything, he must organize an expedition to the Dust Swamp and cut off the head of that damn female dragon!

"Therefore, the Supreme Command in Stormwind City and His Majesty King Varian have jointly ordered: the Northern Expedition of our Stormwind Alliance has ended today!"

"We must arrange and arrange the defense of the Arathi Heights and the Hillsbrad Hills as soon as possible, and strive to maintain the results of the current battle, and at least 30,000 or more elite main forces must be transferred back, and strive to wipe out the threat of the Republic of Defia at one time!"

As he spoke, Reginald frowned and walked to the military map on the table, and he needed to think carefully about how to arrange the work for the end of the battle, where to abandon it, and which places to keep. And these things need to be completed in the next three days, and there must be no sloppiness!

“……”

When things turn out like this, what else can Velun say?

They had just come here, and they had only just fought a defeated battle, and when the troops with many casualties had not gained any benefits, the Northern Expedition, which had lasted for almost a year, was about to withdraw from the war......

But that way, if the Northern Expedition is over, they, the Draenei, will be able to save more strength to guard against the invasion of the Burning Legion, rather than spending on this needless battle to expand the land!

After all, now that the Draenei Secret Blue Island is so big, not only is it beautiful and rich in products, but it is also surrounded by the sea, and there are no threatening enemies to be found, which is really enough for them to recuperate on it for hundreds of years! Therefore, they Draenei do not have much need for attacking the Lordaeron continent now, and they are only here to fulfill their obligation to join the alliance.

If you can stop fighting now, then don't fight!

"Alas......"

"That's it, that's all! Once we have waited for some of our main forces to be withdrawn, except for the Arathi Heights, there will not be much change, and here in the Hillsbrad Hills, our forces will only be able to hold the line of defense on the side of the Wall-Soradin of Southsea Town and Dunhold Castle, and as for Talenmere, Gavin Heights, and the South Point Gate, we will have to give up......"

After looking at the map and calculating the remaining strength of the coalition forces after withdrawing tens of thousands of troops, Reginald quickly worked out a defensive strategy that would allow them to barely maintain parity with their current enemy. Now, after the offensive and defensive transposition, he no longer dared to think about rushing into Andohar, dividing the four kingdoms, and then gradually sweeping away the entire Flame Alliance.

Now, he himself can only pray that the enemy will not recover too quickly, whether it is those fire elemental legions or the enemies of the outer regions, it is better not to appear or come back, otherwise, whether he can hold these current territories is still a matter of two questions!

"Your Excellency Wei Lun, we are going to have a meeting in the conference room on the second floor of this castle in the evening to discuss the withdrawal and garrisoning of troops, please be sure to attend on time!"

"Okay, I get ......"
