The orcs have a strong commander, or rather a wise commander. Since the siege of Ironforge, the orcs did not attack, but silently surrounded, any non-orcs who wanted to enter and leave Ironforge, all were killed by the orcs, and the entire Ironforges were like sardines trapped in cans, and they could only wait for death slowly.

"You soft eggs, now the orcs are surrounding us like this, you are still here to discuss, since they don't attack the city, then we will counterattack out, I have seen the cowardly, and it is the first time I have seen you so cowardly." In a large room in the military district of Ironforge, a group of dwarves sat around a large table, and one of them, a middle-aged dwarf with a full beard, roared loudly.

"You know what? Do you think it is feasible to want a counteroffensive with our strength? The orcs are at least 5 times more numerous than ours, and the only way we have to defend the city is to counterattack? Are you stupid? The other dwarf was not happy to hear what the other said, and after the other man's voice fell, he also began to mock.

"Huh? It's not because you're cowardly, okay, you said you were defending the city, but what are you doing now? The orcs have been around for 7 days, our Ironforge Fort is seriously short of food, and the food of the refugees in other areas has been reduced again and again, and now they can only barely make ends meet, and only have one bread for three days. And what about our soldiers? We can only guarantee one loaf of bread a day, and if we continue without the orcs attacking, we will starve to death in this ironforge fortress. Rather than starve to death, I'd rather rush out with my soldiers and fight with the orcs. The taunted dwarf saw that someone had answered, and said it in such a way that it was impossible to refute it.

At this time, the Iron Fort has been besieged for 7 days, except for Liu Xin and Anne who got three breads as food for three days when they arrived on the first day, there was only one bread they got on the fourth day, and it was shared between themselves and Anne, which made Liu Xin and Anne have to eat for three days. Because he was a child, the food he got was directly halved, and he could barely support his life.

"Brother, hungry" Anne said with teary eyes as she looked at Liu Xin, and Liu Xin also gritted her teeth and began to search around, looking for something to fill her stomach.

"Liu Xin, take it to Anne to eat, Tai just woke up, the body is weak, and you can't go hungry." Aunt Cara, who had been beside her, also heard Anne's voice and handed over the small half of the bread in her hand.

"Auntie, this is you" Liu Xin just wanted to excuse himself, but the dwarf aunt interrupted Liu Xin's words.

"It's okay, I'm going to distribute food today, let Anne eat it." A smile rose at the corner of the dwarf aunt's mouth and said to Liu Xin. Seven days after coming to Ironforge Castle, everyone almost knows the time to distribute food, usually once every three days, but the number is decreasing again and again, when I came on the first day, there were still 3 loaves, on the fourth day there was only 1, today is the seventh day, there should be another bread.

"Quiet!" As soon as Liu Xin took the bread and handed it to Anne, he heard a majestic voice. Liu Xin followed the sound and looked fixedly, and a dwarf in armor and under the protection of many guards walked out.

"King Copperbeard!"

"Magni. Copperbeard, our great dwarven king! ”

"See the King!"

Noisy voices sounded all around, and Liu Xin knew the identity of the other party from those voices, the dwarf king Magni. Copper whiskers.

"He's Magni? The elder brother of Alsace's teacher Muradin, known as the dwarf with the strongest blacksmithing skills, is he the one who will forge the Ash Messenger in the future? Liu Xin finally saw a character he was familiar with, and he was a little happy.

Everyone's eyes followed the dwarven king Magni step by step, until he reached the center of the great forge, Magni stopped, glanced at the people waiting for him, and spoke.

"Fellow citizens of Kazmodan, or fellow citizens, perhaps I have bad news for you." Magni said this, his voice a little low.

All the dwarves did not speak, waiting for the rest of Magni's words. After a pause, Magni continued: "Ironforge, besieged by the orcs, and now that Ironforge's food is seriously insufficient, it is time for life and death, so I have decided to let you evacuate to Lordaeron in the north. ”

"Retreat?? Now that Ironforge is under siege, where do we retreat from? ”

"yes, how do we evacuate?"

As soon as Magni's words fell, a suspicious inquiry was made.

"Get out of the subway we're building, and we'll go out to meet the orcs, get their attention, and get you out of here." The guard beside Brass took over the words and explained to everyone.

"What about you, the King? Will they evacuate with us? Another dwarf asked.

"No, I'm Magni, the Dwarven King. Copperbeard, I will lead my soldiers to fight to the end, protecting the homeland behind me. Magni's deep voice rang in everyone's ears again.

"Then we won't leave, we will fight with you and protect our homeland together."

"Yes, if we don't leave, we can go to the battlefield."

After all the mobilization and noise, Magni decided to evacuate some of the men, as he was not sure that he would be able to resist the orc attack this time. All the underage dwarves under the age of 16 retreated, as did those with special technical combat power, and all the foreigners were evacuated, and finally some adult dwarves also left. These adult dwarves need to protect the lives of the evacuees, and bring news of Ironforge to Lordaeron to ask for reinforcements.

"Liu Xin, take care of your sister and live well!" Aunt Cara stood at the subway crossing that had not yet been built, and said to Liu Xin. Liu Xin and Annie, as foreign children, were selected as part of the retreat at the first time, Liu Xin couldn't refuse, the food in the Iron Fort was already seriously insufficient, if Liu Xin stayed there, not only could he not help much, but also needed to share a part of the food, which could be regarded as an existence that ate white food at a critical event, and Annie had only recovered now, and there must be enough food to replenish, so he could only leave with him. It stands to reason that Kazm, a dwarf alchemist, should also be together, but Kazm directly refused, he was ready to stay in Ironforge to help the dwarves make some potions, after all, Kaznos had given him a lot of care over the years.

Grabbing the small half of the bread in his hand, Liu Xin's eyes showed a complicated look of that word, he didn't speak, but just pursed his lips, nodded to Aunt Kala, and then turned around and stepped onto the iron-like subway

The subway tunnels were dark and damp, with only a faint glow from a magic lamp, and the humid air made it difficult to light even the torches. The iron shelves creaked on the metal rails.

Liu Xin carried Anne on his back, turned around and looked at the dark passage, and silently thought in his heart: "Aunt Kala, Sister Kasha, and the old madman Kazm, you must hold on." Soon, soon Lordaeron's reinforcements will arrive, be sure to hold on! ”

According to Liu Xin's memory, after some calculations, Liu Xin knew that after the fall of Stormwind City, Sir Salou fled north with a group of people to Lordaeron, and persuaded 7 human kingdoms, and then formed an alliance to defend against the orcs. In the sixth year after the opening of the Dark Gate, the orc army was split into two because of Gul'dan, and Sir Salou led the army all the way south and completely defeated the orcs. Now that Stormwind has fallen for at least 3 months, Sir Salou estimates that he has started a counterattack with a large army, and he only needs to hold out for a while before he can repel the orcs.

The Iron Fort will definitely not fall, Liu Xin can only hope that the three of Kara can not rush to the front line before Sir Salou arrives, as long as they stay in the Iron Forge, there is at least 7 percent hope of survival.

"Okay, guys, we need to walk next, the subway behind us hasn't been repaired yet, now we should be at the border of Danmoro, as long as we leave here, there is a great possibility of an orc attack, little ones pay attention." At this moment, a young dwarf with a longbow in his hand looked at the many refugees and said.

As soon as the words fell, the iron frame slowly stopped, and everyone rushed into a small door next to it.

Behind the door, it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see anything clearly, so the young man took out a magic lamp and held it in his hand, and walked forward first.

After a while, they reached the side of a staircase, and some faint light could already be seen penetrating, and many people involuntarily moved forward, wanting to walk towards the light. The young dwarf stopped again and said, "There is the exit ahead, let's go up and have a look, and then if there is no danger, we will come down and tell you that you can leave, otherwise stay here and don't move." ”

Listening to the young man's words, everyone stopped, and at this time they all remembered that the outside area was in the midst of the ravages of the orcs, and everyone could not be careless, if everyone went out together, and those guards would not be able to protect so many people if they met the orcs, and they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

"Let's go, no problem, just run with me when you go out, don't talk when the time comes, we must leave Dan Moro as fast as possible, at least we need to reach the wetland, clench our teeth, we must hold on!" The young man, who had gone out to investigate first, returned to the stairs, glanced at all the survivors, and said solemnly.

“3~”

“2~”

“1~”

"Run!"

With the last word uttered, the young dwarf took a step and ran, and many of the survivors quickened their pace and burrowed out of the cave.

The dazzling change of sunlight made Liu Xin's eyes squint slightly, but he didn't stop under his feet, and ran forward with difficulty on his back.

At this time, Liu Xin had time to look at the stairs when he left, where was a cave about 2 meters in diameter covered with ice and snow. The last dwarf to leave tapped the edge of the cave fiercely, and a large amount of snow and ice fell, burying the entire cave entrance, and it was impossible to tell that this was a cave, and people who didn't know why would think it was a hill.
