Chapter 14: The Journey
The first encounter between humans and orcs on Azeroth came to an end with the fall of the Vanguard Legion's Orc Overseer banner.
In the rock fortress, the rescue cavalry and the defenders of the rock fortress gathered to cheer and celebrate their victory over the evil orc army.
However, in the council hall at the heart of the rock fortress, the top officials of the human army sat around a round table, and everyone's face was very serious.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation has reached this point, I believe you should know that the kingdom is now in big trouble!"
"Major General Marcos, I order your regiment to retreat to the town of Karl Road as soon as possible."
Although the battle had come to an end, Lothar still didn't take off the majestic armor on his body, stood up directly, pointed at the huge Storm Kingdom map on the table with the tip of the Great Royal Sword, and said with a full breath.
"Viscount Matos, you and Colonel Peake, with my heraldic insignia, go and gather the other 7 legions of the kingdom in the Elwyn Forest region."
"At the entrance to the Dawn Twilight Forest, with the town of Karl Road as the center, arrange a defensive position."
This strong warrior of the heroic rank used the Great Royal Sword to draw a horizontal line on the coordinates of the town of Karl Road on the map, attracting the attention of all the human officers present.
Under the influence of the great butterfly of the Messiah, Karl Road Town, which was unsuspecting and overwhelmed by the raiding orc army in the original history of Warcraft, has become an extremely important strategic defense point when the orcs invade the king's hinterland of the Elwyn Forest on a large scale because it is located at the key position of the largest entrance at the junction of the Elwyn Forest and the Twilight Forest of Dawn.
"Also, use the top-level magic messenger props, and ask His Majesty Ryan of Stormwind City to order all the noble guards, mercenary organizations, and territorial militias in the Elwin region to reinforce this line of defense!"
"The old and young women and children of the entire Elwyn region retreated to the Stormwind region, and at the same time sent envoys to immediately request supplies and troops from other human kingdoms through teleportation magic."
"The orc invasion is not just a matter of the Stormwind Kingdom."
This is probably the difference between being prepared and not being prepared, after obtaining the news and strength of the orc invasion in advance, Lothar arranged defensive military arrangements in an orderly manner, and at the same time immediately asked for assistance from other human kingdoms.
"Guys, let's get moving!"
Putting away his long sword, leaning forward, and his strong hands on the round table, Lothar looked at the officers in front of him with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Commander!"
All the officers stood up and responded with a strong sense of air, and then, as Lothar had arranged, began the operation.
The blessing of the relatively developed miniature matter teleportation magic in the world of Toazeroth, only a quarter of an hour after Lothar gave the order, the various regions of Elwyn and the Storm King City received the news.
Immediately, the Elwyn Forest, the most elite area of the entire Storm Kingdom, began to move at this moment.
Nearly 4 regular soldiers of the kingdom from 7 legions advanced towards Karl Road Town, and countless civilians with their families began to evacuate towards the perimeter of Stormwind City, and mercenary groups and militias of all sizes followed the noble guards in various regions and converged towards the defense line.
In the clearing outside the rock fortress, a strong griffin descended from the sky in front of Lothar, who was dressed in full body armor, with a huge wind that flapped its wings.
"Whew!"
With the strong and high-pitched cry of this powerful creature, it shook violently the moment it landed, and then a black-robed figure rolled off the griffin's back.
That's right, it's the extremely humiliating kind of "rolling" down.
"Lord Lothar, I brought you your mount."
The super ** master, who is extremely strong in the future, but is now extremely young, stood up in embarrassment, patted the gray ** robe enchanted with the cleaning technique on his body, and said with embarrassment.
"Well, it's not very nice to me, though."
"Haha, young man, that's because you don't have the powerful charm I have."
Lothar laughed and stepped forward, stroking the feathers around the griffin's neck with her hand.
"Alright! You're right! ”
Looking at Lothar's big hand, he squinted his eyes slightly and whispered like a dove, "Goo!" Goo!" The screaming griffin, Khadgar said helplessly.
After a brief reassurance of his mount, Lothar stepped onto the griffin's back and spoke to Khadgar.
"What are you waiting for, come on! We need to travel to Kara immediately."
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves interrupted Lothar's words.
"Please wait!"
Karen galloped with ten paladins on tall horses from the holy city of Mercia.
"I want to follow you to meet the Guardian."
The young paladin came to Lothar and looked at his father with a determined gaze.
"My child."
Lothar frowned as Cullen appeared, he had never thought of taking Cullen to meet Medivan.
After all, it would be a long distance to travel from here to Karazan, and although the captives knew that 99% of the orc army was gathered around the Dark Gate, who knew if there would be any unpredictable danger along the way.
Lothar, who has a son in middle age, doesn't want any accidents to happen to her only descendant.
"I won't agree to your trip to Karazhan."
Lothar didn't want to force his son to refuse his son in a commanding tone, so he took it lightly.
"Kid, the situation is very critical, we need to get to Karazhan as soon as possible, you don't have a flying mount, and my griffon, can only carry two people."
He wanted to dispel Cullen's thoughts with a very practical mount problem, so that he could obediently go to Stormwind City according to his own will.
There, his good friend, the now powerful King Lane, has enough strength to keep his nephew Cullen safe.
"It's okay, we're prepared!"
Young Cullen and the paladins behind him took out a diamond-shaped crystal the size of marbles containing powerful holy power from their pockets and inserted it into the saddle.
Immediately, under the shocked gaze of Khadgar behind Lothar, a pair of blue-white Divine Light wings composed of the Holy Light Beam Wind Elemental appeared on both sides of the horse's back, and the delicate feather patterns and gorgeous divine brilliance were like heaven
Illuminated by the golden rays of the midday sun, deep blue waves crashed against the shoreline of the holy city of Mercia, making a surging and shocking sound.
"It's a shame if Medivan hadn't been eroded by that fragment of Sargeras's soul."
Lothar's various arrangements, naturally, will not hide his only son, Karen. Through the belief network of the Kabbalah Tree of Life, as soon as Karen as the Yahweh Holy Warrior of God knew, then the Messiah naturally understood those messages at the same time.
"With the help of that demigod guardian who is close to the middle of the second order, with these exquisite defensive arrangements of Lothar, he may really be able to hold off the army of the tribe's orcs."
In the Basilica of Holy Yahweh, the Holy See Messiah of the Prophet stands in front of a cross entwined with rose vines, migrated from the chapel where he came.
This cross, which was originally made of ordinary snow stone, had been transformed into a sacred object that was only one step away from the second-order holy artifact in the past twenty years, washed by the countless faith power and holy light of the Cross Sect.
"Great Lord, you are right."
The spirit of the Kabbalah Tree of Life responds to the Messiah's words within the space of consciousness in the Messiah's mind.
With the growth of the Crucifixion, the power of the Kabbalah Tree of Life has also increased, and to this day, the Messiah has been able to invoke the power of the Tree of Life, and in a short period of time, he can call on the power of the near-second order, and in this dangerous planet of Azeroth, he can be regarded as truly having the power of self-preservation.
The strong confidence brought by the improvement of strength made the Messiah's next actions bigger.
"The Great Holy See, the fish-man tribe of my lord in the shallow seas, has all been assembled."
Behind a solemn but muffled voice, a cloak figure draped in a chain cross condensed in the center of the chapel, kneeling reverently on one knee behind the Messiah.
A purple-gold holy light with a hint of cold color appeared around the silhouette of this figure.
"Inquisition, Templar forces are in place."
Beneath the cloak, St. James, one of the first three disciples of the Messiah and head of the Church of the Three Priesthoods of the Crucifixion, raised his head and gazed respectfully at the Holy Seat of the Prophet standing before the cross.
