General Haas, the commander-in-chief of the Alterac army, is a key figure in Alterac's undefeated battle for territory with Stormgard, and his position in Alterac is no less than that of Anduin in Stormwind. Lothar, but now, he was pacing back and forth in Alterac's command post with an anxious face

As the general of the kingdom, it is his duty to lead the soldiers to fight against the invaders, but what he does today is simply a denial of half his life, just now, he passed a bunch of false orders to the soldiers stationed in the Oakland Valley, and this transfer, there will be a huge gap in the alliance's defense line, but all this is an order personally given by King Penorred of Alterac, as a subordinate, he has to obey

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the tent curtains, and the glimmer of candles swayed in the gust of wind

"General Haas?" The unfamiliar sound in the tent made the figure of the general in the tent pause, and when he turned his head, a thin sword was already on his neck, "Commander of Alterac?" I guess I'm not mistaken, you once attended the military council in Lordaeron, if my memory is good."

"Who are you," General Haas narrowed his eyes at the young man who walked through the tent entrance, "who are you?" Where did the guards go, they couldn't just let strangers in"

"Of course, so I had some effort," he said, as a tall elven ranger stepped out from behind him, "but it is much more convenient to have the help of our elven lady, and if you can't figure it out, let me remind you that I was by Sir Lothar's side at that meeting"

"You! How did you come here," General Haas looked incredulous, "Shouldn't the main force of the alliance still be in Hinterland?"

"Of course I'm here for Alterac this time" Qiuchen's eyes were cold, "Don't talk nonsense, I'll ask you, whether Penored has betrayed the Alliance, where is the main force of the Orcs, and what is the current state of the defense line in the Alterac Valley"

General Haas looked confused

"At the beginning, Stormwind also thought about negotiating with the orcs, but everyone knows the final fate" Qiuchen snorted lightly, the so-called loyalty dilemma, but the person who understands loyalty is also the easiest to convince "Stormwind will not be the first, and Alterac will not be the last"

"I see" General Haas sighed as his shoulders broke down, "His Majesty summoned me and Colonel Kafdan yesterday morning and told us that he intended to save the people of Alterac in another way, and he said that he had made a contract with the leader of the tribe that the orcs would pass through the Alterac Mountains safely, and then they would not attack us"

"Have the orcs already passed?!" Qiuchen interrupted General Haas

"Early this morning, their main forces have already passed through the mountains"

"Damn it!" Qiuchen took a sip, turned to Aurelia and said, "We're still a day late!" The Hammer of Doom is now ready to take the horde army to Lake Lordamere! ”

"You can't blame us for this," Aurelia clutched her forehead, "You've been on the road for three days and three nights in a row, and in the name of daylight, it's impossible for my best rangers to get here from Quel'Thallas in three days."

After seeing the strength of the orc tribe, Anastarian finally decided to join the alliance, and Aurelia was the messenger he sent to Lordaeron, and it happened that Autumn Dust was also going to return to Lordaeron, so Aurelia decided to return with him along the way, but with Autumn Dust's way of rushing without resting at all, it was a miracle that she was not left behind

"But we're still late" Qiuchen sighed, although he couldn't stop it, he still believed that with Terenus's ability, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to block the orc's surprise attack

Then, he looked at General Haas to the side, "So, General, I think you should know by now which side you should be on for the sake of Alterac."

"Of course I know, Your Excellency, but Penorred won't be willing to let go of his rights, and the orcs won't let Alterac City go," General Haas still looked apprehensive

"I ask you, how many troops can you command now," Qiu Chen said, holding his chin, "not all of the Alterac army, but how many more can you command when you declare your opposition to Penored?" ”

"There are thirteen hundred men in the Alterac Valley, all of them are my old men, and they will follow my orders" General Haas sighed "Colonel Kafdan has three hundred men stationed in the town of Stannbrad, he is a belligerent fellow, convince him that there is no pressure to deal with the orcs"

"How many are there in Penorred?"

General Haas thought for a moment and replied, "There are about more than 800 city defenses in Alterac City, and some nobles' private soldiers, but their combat effectiveness is far inferior to ours."

"It's okay" Qiuchen breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Excellency General, your troops continue to garrison in the Alterac Valley, as if nothing happened, and there will be a messenger to contact you next"

After settling the matter of Alterac, Autumn Dust walked out of the valley, and if you look northeast from the top of the mountain, you can see the largest inland lake in Northern Lordaeron--- Lake Lordamyr, but at this time, the orcs are probably almost on the north shore of the lake

"Shall we go to Lordaeron City next?" Seeing Qiuchen suddenly stand still, Aurelia turned around and asked, "Or will you go to Hinterland next to ask for Sir Lothar's assistance?" ”

"Far water doesn't quench your thirst, and you're going to Lordaeron now, it's like throwing yourself into a net" Qiuchen thought for a while, raised his head and asked, "Do you have carrier pigeons?" ”

As for the carrier pigeon, Qiu Chen only saw that Lothar had used it, but he didn't expect that he would need a carrier pigeon to send messages one day

"My falcon can act as a carrier pigeon, what's wrong?" Aurelia whistled, and it wasn't long before a white bird appeared in the sky

"Write to the other kings and chieftains, and tell them that Lordaeron is in a hurry, and that they should come to the aid as soon as possible" Autumndust paused and then wrote a letter to Torbain of Rapids, telling him to let Stormgard's army enter Alterac, and Gilness, and let the Darius family of Gilneth guard the Silver Pine Forest. Since the orcs want to decapitate them, we can trap them all in the Tirisfal glades! ”

In the early morning, the orc army finally crossed the majestic mountains until the green forests replaced the snow. So far, the orcs have not seen a single human. Some of the warriors even muttered that they had lost their chance to kill, but their chieftain assured them that there would be.

As always, the Hammer of Doom is at the forefront. He stopped, amazed by the view in front of him. At the foot of the mountain stretches a huge lake, the surface of which shimmers with silver in the morning light. On the other side are more mountain ranges, which run roughly north-south, forming a huge V-shape with the mountains that the orcs have just crossed, and the lake is in the middle of the V-shape. To the north of the lake is the city with its huge walls.

"Lordaeron's Capital" Doomhammer observed, raising his hammer above his head with both hands, and let out a war cry. The warriors of the tribe let out a roar, and soon the surrounding hills echoed with their anger, joy, and bloodlust. The Hammer of Doom laughed. The city would soon know that he and his people were here, but they would panic after the war cry. Before they recover, the tribe will run over them.

"Rush to that city!" The Hammer of Doom roared, raising its hammer aloft again, "We will crush this city, the heart of this enemy!" Forward, warriors, let's kill them while the battle cry is still ringing in their ears! ”

The Hammer of Doom rushed down the hills and across the plains, preoccupied with the city with its solid walls, and countless orc warriors were rushing from behind him to the shining city--
