A few days earlier, the carrier pigeons released from Lordaeron had been sent to all the other cities of the Alliance leaders.

One of the pigeons flew straight to Stormgard, where the letter it was carrying was quickly unpacked and presented directly to the rude Lord of Stormgard, Solas Tolbairn.

"What?" said Tolbain, who was drinking the ale from the heavy wooden cup, and after reading the letter, he screamed and threw the cup out of his hand, which was shattered and the ale and sawdust spilled all over the floor.

"That idiot, Perynord, what the hell is he doing to let those fanged monsters pass through so easily?"

Thorbein has always looked down on Perinord, not only because they have some friction on the border as neighbors, but also because he is a flamboyant guy personally.

But even a megalomaniac like Perrynord, a fool who cares about dressing up, should be able to hold off an invading army. Even if the orcs were as numerous as Lothar had claimed, they would have slowed down their march considerably, so that they would have enough time to inform Lordaeron and prepare them in advance.

And now the orcs have easily crossed Alterac and Lake Lordanmere into the plains of Lordaeron. He couldn't imagine what kind of catastrophe Terrenus was going through.

Thorbain stood up and circled around the room, completely oblivious to the note still clutching in his hand. He wanted to help his friend, but he didn't know what was best.

Terenus was an excellent military strategist, and his soldiers were among the best in the land, and they had a strong Hull Defence. Tol Bain is convinced that holding on to the first wave of the attack will not be a problem. But when all the orcs rush out of the plains and use their numerical superiority to attack, it will be dangerous.

"Damn fool!" he slammed his fist into the armrest as he passed the sturdy chair. "Perinod should stop them, even if it doesn't work, at least he should alert Terenus!"

But when another thought came to him, he stopped. Perinold's mind has never been to the league.

His mind went back to the meeting that had taken place in the royal city. Greymane (King Gilneis) and Perinord are the only ones who don't want to join the league.

But Greymane believed that Gilneth would be able to defeat any fool who tried to invade them on his own. Perinold, on the other hand, didn't want to join the fight, and he was completely willing to participate in some battles that were guaranteed to be won, but he was not willing to take even the slightest risk. And Perynold, too, was the first to propose peace talks.

"That coward, he must have betrayed us!" Thor Bairn kicked his chair hard.

He must have made peace with the tribe! Perionod would only think about protecting himself, not caring about the others. Even if it was a deal with the devil, as long as it could keep him and his territory safe, Perinord would be happy to accept it.

He finally understood why orcs were able to cross the Alterac Mountains without raising any alarms. Perinor gave way to the passage, presumably promising the tribe to be lenient to him after the battle, or to continue his rule.

"Damn Perynord!" Torbain, already furious, picked up the tomahawk hanging from the weapon rack on the wall and slashed at the table in front of him. With a loud "bang", the wooden table was cut in half by Tolbain.

"I'm going to kill him!"

His warriors and nobles retreated in horror, looking nervous. This made Thorbain suddenly realize that he wasn't alone. Personal feuds must be put aside first, and the first priority is this war.

"Haas, assemble the army!" he instructed the startled guards, "I'm going to Alterac!"

"But, Your Majesty. The captain of the guard replied, "We have already sent half of our troops to join the main army of the Alliance..."

The implication is obvious...

Thorbain frowned, "In that case, don't leave any of them behind." Gather all the remaining forces in the kingdom!"

"Are we going to the aid of Lordaeron?, Your Majesty Thorbain?" asked another general beside him.

"So to speak. Thorbain raised his tomahawk and smiled at the man, "But... We've got to get rid of a piece of garbage first!"

......

On the plains of Lordaeron, corpses are strewn and the smoke of gunpowder fills the field, and this protracted battle that tests everyone's perseverance continues......

With the help of a few thousand cavalry led by Falar, the alliance finally stabilized the situation and held the orc army out of the fortress gates.

On the other hand, the orc troops, under the strong offensive of the Kodo beasts, are like rainbows. One by one, they were not afraid of death, and with their huge numerical superiority, they attacked the Alliance soldiers one after another.

"All archers, aim at those behemoths and shoot!" Seeing that the alliance's defense line was gradually shrinking, Ruparte no longer dared to let those behemoths go unpunished.

After receiving the instructions of the commander, all the archers on the city wall were pointed at a huge beast that was close at hand. The Kodomon was pounding the walls with its massive body.

As the sound of the city wall breaking through the air rang out, countless arrows flew towards the Kodo beast. The first arrow "boomed", piercing the rough and hard skin of the Kodomon, and the attacked beast let out an angry roar.

But the dozens of arrows that followed instantly shot the roaring Kodomon into a hedgehog. With a terrible scream, the Kodo beast fell to the ground with a bang. Even the orc it was carrying on its back was covered with dense feathered arrows.

Seeing that this method had worked, Rupat concocted the same method and ordered the archers to shoot another Kodomon under the city.

Under the salvo of archers and musketeers, the number of Kodomon on the battlefield is drastically decreasing. But the pressure on the Union soldiers, who had lost the fire cover on the city walls, increased dramatically......

Just as Rupat was in a dilemma, Daron's voice came from behind him.

"General Rupat, don't hesitate, please focus your attention on those giant beasts, and leave the rest of the orc warriors to us!"

Hearing this, Rupat turned his head and saw Daron raise the staff in his hand, silently reciting a spell he did not understand. Beside him, there were clouds of flame elements visible to the naked eye, and Rupat expected that the high-level flame mage was ready to use magic.

Sure enough, with a loud shout from Daron, a pillar of fire with a radius of about three meters wide and a height of about two meters suddenly appeared on the ground, and the blazing tongue of fire swept all the orc warriors within its range. The screams and scorching sounds echoed across the battlefield, and for a moment, many orcs were stunned by this terrible sorcery......

"Okay! worthy of being a high-level mage of Dalaran!" Terenus, who was at the top of the main fortress, couldn't help but applaud when he saw this scene, "It's a pity, if there are more high-level mages like Lord Daron, then how dare these fanged monsters invade Lordaeron?"

Hearing this, Galia beside him smiled.

"Father, there are very few high-level mages on the continent, and it is not easy for His Excellency Talon to bring so many mages this time. At this time, Galia's topic changed and said with a smile: "Instead of this, my father should look forward to Elena more, that little girl has made rapid progress under the teaching of Teacher Antonidas, and now she is about to become a high-level mage!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Terenus was really taken aback: "Elena, she's only sixteen years old. It seems that her father has neglected her lately..."

Of his children, Galia was the most outstanding, but she was a girl. Although Alsace is brave and intelligent, he lacks experience, is not calm and cautious enough, and is often easily led by emotions, so he has been honing Alsace's character, but the effect does not seem to be ideal......

As for Elena, she is the youngest of them all, and the one who is most easily ignored by him. Since she was a child, Elena was raised by her mother and older brothers and sisters, and she was sometimes busy with state affairs, and she was often unable to see her for most of the year. In Terenus's heart, the one who owes the most is Elena......

"Father..."

Seeing that Terenus was lost in thought, Galia stopped talking.

At this time, Abydis, who had been closely watching the changes in the battlefield, exclaimed, "Your Majesty, look!"

Terenus and Galia looked in the direction Abidis was pointing at the same time. I saw that in the rear of the orc army, a cavalry force of about 1,000 people was rushing towards the battlefield, and their dazzling double-headed eagle banner was fluttering in the wind......

Seeing this scene, Terenus's heart moved, and a name was muttered out of his mouth.

"Lothar..."
