Chapter 38: The Eve

When there are no engineering equipment, the wall more than ten meters high can easily block the attack of a large army. In the Third Punic War, the Romans besieged the city of Carthage, and a siege lasted for three years, almost until the city ran out of ammunition and surrendered

When Qiuchen arrived at Stormwind City with a group of people, it was already early in the morning, and in the place where he first saw the city wall, the corpses of the orcs were piled up, and the distance between them should have fallen on the road of the charge, the closer to the city wall, the more arrows were inserted on the corpse, but when they got close to the city gate, there was no orc corpse

They didn't even go beyond the range of the Stormwind archers

"Sir Lothar, it looks like the battle is going well in Stormwind" At the gate of the city, Autumn Dust saw Anduin. Lothar: "Tsk, you can deal with more than a hundred orcs under the city gate"

"It's really blessed by the Holy Light to let you go to Shining Gold Town before" Lothar opened his armor "The number of orcs is much more than the courtiers in Ryan's court estimated, there are reports of orc attacks from all over the kingdom, let the refugees you bring into the city, Your Majesty ordered it to be opened and let all the refugees from all over the country take refuge in Stormwind City"

"I'm going to report to Your Majesty first, you keep the city gates, I'm worried that the orcs haven't retreated too far"

"Understand"

Now the smoke outside Stormwind has not yet cleared, and refugees are pouring in from all directions. The homes had just been destroyed, and the refugees' emotional instability was indeed on the table. But those who have just escaped, except for glad that they survived, I am afraid that they can't think of anything else

Qiuchen found a place to sit near the city gate and began to organize his thoughts. Now that the orcs have begun to attack in a big way, that is, most of the orc clans have been assembled through the Dark Gate, then Sargeras no longer needs to continue to hide his identity. Time is running out, and he was expecting to come up with a good solution, but now it seems that he has no time

Suddenly, a noisy sound came from not far away, Qiu Chen opened his eyes and looked, only to see a group of Stormwind City guards surrounding two people, some soldiers even took out swords, the refugees dodged from a distance, and the sound intermittently reached Qiu Chen's ears, it seemed to be ...... There are orcs?

"She's ......" a young mage seemed to argue something, but his tone was hard to believe he was telling the truth, "She's my captive." I was about to take her to Stormwind for questioning. ”

"Heh" the officer in charge snorted disdainfully, "Alright, young man, we found your captive in the square, she was armed, and you were out of sight. All I can say is that your captives escaped. It's a pity that this orc would rather die than surrender. ”

"Don't touch her!" Qiuchen recognized the person surrounded in the middle, who was none other than Madwen's apprentice, Khadgar. He summoned a fireball, flames dancing in his palm.

"You're killing yourself like this," the officer roared, and the mage's psychological shadow on ordinary people kept them from acting rashly

"You've made a grave mistake, gentlemen," Kad stiffened his pretense.

"You'd better not get involved, kid," the officer ordered, "catch the orc." If she resists, kill her! ”

The infantry followed the order and pressed on the two, and several men held down Garona again. She tried to struggle, but a man kicked her hard.

"Wait!" Seeing this, Qiuchen squeezed out of the crowd, and if he didn't come out again, looking at Khadgar's expression, he was about to smash the fireball on the officer

Autumn Dust was wearing a visor, which Khadgar did not recognize, but the officer saw directly the insignia that Lothar had given him on his body

"Sir! This mage has an orc! And also resisted our checks."

Seeing this, Khadgar hurried forward, "Sir, please let them stop. I am an apprentice of the astral mage Medivan. This is my orc captive, and I have important business to meet Lord Lothar."

"Let go of him, I know them" Qiu Chen lifted his visor, and Khadgar immediately turned his worries into joy "Khadgar, what trouble are you causing again"

Next, Autumn Dust planned to take Khadgar directly to Stormwind Fortress, but halfway through he saw Magna hidden in the group of refugees, and it happened that Lothar had returned, so Autumn Dust handed Khadgar and the others to Lothar

"Something has been deciphered" Seeing Magna walking by, Qiuchen asked

Magna, who was wearing a linen cloak, took off her hood, revealing her tired but still delicate face, this was the first time Qiuchen had seen Magna wear clothes other than silk robes, but this Magna charm has not diminished at all" It's done, basically the two guys found out about Madum's suspicions, and then began to study the method of detecting souls, and I wrote down the specific things on this piece of paper...... What are you going to do about Madem?"

Probing souls? Isn't it spiritism? Qiuchen put away the scroll handed by Magna, since it didn't help the next thing, let's think about its use in the future, "Don't worry, Medivan's soul is very strong, I can solve this matter tomorrow at the latest"

Magna stared at Qiuchen and didn't say a word

"Okay, okay, I know I can't prevaricate you, but I don't have any good way" Qiuchen waved his hand "Since there is no good way, I'll do it directly, now that Sargeras controls his body, then I'll kill him, so that the body can no longer imprison Madham's soul, and then I will resurrect him"

Qiuchen directly told Magna the original historical trajectory, after all, in the face of the combination of the power of Sargeras and the Guardian, there is no future for intrigues, not to mention that Sargeras is a master of trickery

"You...... You're sending you to death."

"I don't want to do something I'm not sure about," Qiuchen shrugged. The Excalibur in Lothar's hand can defeat the soul of Sargeras by coincidence, so what Qiu Chen has to do is to do his best to ensure that this coincidence happens, as long as the biggest uncertainty of Sargeras disappears, the rest of the things can return to Qiu Chen's control

It's one thing to believe it or not, but Khadgar caused quite a stir in Stormstorm Fortress with bad news about Medivan, and Ryan and his courtiers argued almost all night, and Falldust listened to it, but unfortunately, almost all night it was Khadgar and Garona who gave evidence of Madison's possible betrayal, and Ryan was exonerating Medivan, and his courtiers always followed the king's tone

Compared to these meaningless raffles, Qiu Chen cared more about the orc brought by Khadgar...... Half-orc Garona

"Orcs are absolutely ruthless," Garona said, standing in front of Ryan, "and they will never give up their attack. They'll be back. ”

"They can't even get close to the walls," Ryan objected. His Majesty seemed to appreciate Garona's blunt style and clumsy way of warning rather than the substance of her warning.

"They can't even get close to the wall," Garona repeated, "that's this time, next time they'll be able to, next time they'll even breach the wall." I don't think you take orcs seriously at all, Your Majesty. ”

"I assure you, I didn't take this as a joke," Ryan said, "but I'm also confident in Stormwind's power." Strength on all sides, from her walls, her armies, to her allies, to her heart. If you've seen them, you won't have that much confidence in the abilities of the orcs. ”

Ryan counted on his messenger to bring reinforcements from the six northern human countries, and no matter how bad it was, there would be an army from Stormgard, but Qiuchen was not optimistic about his self-confidence, Ryan only thought of the battle of conventional forces, but he turned a blind eye to the possible threat of spells

Qiuchen looked at Lothar, who had been silent since the topic of Medivan was involved, and Quelzaram in his hand

How did this sword end up in Azeroth...

(The feeling of opening your eyes and seeing the sunset is really explosive...... )
