After a period of rest, the coalition will return to the kingdom of Stormwind and defeat the orcs once and for all. The main force of humanity is still the army of volunteers from Lordaeron, Riptide Castle, Stormwind Remnant, and several other nations, Dalaran has sent several teams of battle mages, the Hammer Dwarves of Hinterland have sent their griffon knights, and the elven kingdom of Quel'Thalas, with Richard's intervention, has sent an army of archer healers composed of Sylvanas and Winlesa, accompanied by a mercenary group led by Richard. The commander-in-chief is still Lothar.

When Richard and Sylvanas arrived, they were greeted by Tulayan.

Tulayan held Richard's hand, his eyes looked behind for something, but he couldn't find it, and said with some disappointment: "Thanks to your support, the orcs will be driven back to their hometown, and the alliance will surely win the final victory." ”

Richard shook Tulayan's hand and shook it: "We think so too. ”

After setting up the camp, Tulayan really couldn't hold back, but still found Richard and asked, "Richard, didn't Aurelia come with you?"

Richard said naturally: "No, there are still some trolls in Quel'Salas that have not been solved, and Aurelia and others are clearing those hidden dangers." ”

"So that's ......," Tulayan left silently.

Richard looked at his back and raised the corners of his mouth malicefully.

"Lothar!"

Richard met Lothar for the first time during the war, and Lothar was still wearing the same pitted armor, and the shield on the weapon rack was still shining with only the golden lion's head, and the rest of the place had been blackened.

"Why is this armor still there?"

Lothar lifted the armor on his body and said, "This armor can still be used, there is no need to replace it, the money you gave me has already been given to our people, who need help more than me." ”

Richard had a look of admiration on his face.

In his heart, he sighed that Lothar's life was dedicated to the people, and he was great, but this kind of talent was the biggest threat to himself. He had to die. Have to......

Lothar patted Richard on the shoulder and said, "I have heard about your heroic deeds in the North, you have done a great job, not a paladin but even greater than a paladin. You really should join the Knights. ”

"How do you look like Fao......"

Lothar laughed and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." I came to you because I needed your help. ”

"Please. ”

"Come, look here. Lothar brought Richard to the map.

Lothar pointed to the Danmoro Snow Mountain to the north of the former site of Stormwind and said, "The dwarves are in a critical situation right now, and the orcs who have withdrawn from the north are now working together to attack the last stronghold of the dwarves, Ironforge. Ironforge Fort is located deep in the Danmoro Snow Mountains, but my people are not good at mountain warfare, and the Alterac Kingdom, which is the best at mountain warfare in the alliance, cannot send troops to us due to internal problems. So, I want you to be able to send mercenaries who are good at mountain warfare to support the dwarves. ”

Richard nodded: "No problem. ”

Lothar straightened his armor and said, "Then you can prepare, we will leave later." ”

"So fast? And who's in charge here after you're gone. Richard was a little surprised.

"The situation at Ironforge doesn't allow us to waste too much time. The defense of this place has been handed over to Uther, and Tulayan will move forward with some of his men. ”

Richard shrugged: "Okay, I'll go and prepare now." ”

Returning to his camp, Richard summoned Primatis to give him some instructions, and then ordered Florcia to pick up some mountain warfare elites to prepare for the battle against the orcs.

No sooner had Florcia gone out than Sylvanas walked in with a bracelet made of tree branches.

Sylvanas shook his bracelet and said, "I just saw some soft branches, which were broken down and braided into this, how about you take a look?"

Richard held out his hand, and Sylvanas put the bracelet over his.

Sylvanas looked at it carefully and said, "Not bad. ”

Richard shook his arm back and forth and said, "Then I'll always carry it." ”

Sylvanas laughed, "It won't be a few days before it rots." ”

"When the time comes, you can make up another one for me. ”

"Good. ”

Richard said suddenly, "By the way, I haven't given you any gifts, treasures of golden roses, rare weapons and gems, do you want anything?"

Sylvanas thought for a moment and said, "Those things are nothing new, and they are nothing to you, I want a gift that you made yourself." ”

A gift made by yourself?

Until he stood at the foot of the Danmoro Mountains, Richard was thinking about what to do for Sylvanas.

"Richard, Richard!" Lothar's voice rang in his ears.

Richard turned his head to look at him, and Lothar opened his mouth, "Are you ready?"

"Of course!"

"Up!" Lothar took the lead and grabbed the sling first and began to climb up.

Earlier reconnaissance by Onexia and several griffon knights had found a shortcut that could lead directly to the gates of Ironforge, avoiding most of the orcs on the mountain paths. The only difficulty is that you need to climb over several cliffs, but fortunately, with the Air Force in hand, this difficulty is not a difficulty.

The cold on the snowy mountain is beyond people's imagination, as long as you open your mouth, a stinging cold wind will cut your mouth, and broken ice mixed with cold snow will fly into your throat, but fortunately, everyone will not have to endure it for long, Ironforge Fort can already be seen, and the orcs who are desperately attacking can also be clearly seen.

"Boom!" Lothar drew his sword, the golden runes shining on it to guide the attack.

The mercenaries, dressed in white camouflage, rushed down with the snow and the howling mountain wind, and the reluctant orcs didn't notice the enemy behind them until they got close, but it was too late. Lothar and Richard rushed to the front, and the orc that Richard had just hacked to death had a surprised expression, as if he was surprised why you were behind us, and why the fools who were guarding the card didn't warn. The most brutal of all was Florcia, whose great sword had cut off the bodies of several orcs, staining the snow red with their intestines and livers.

Just as the rear of the orcs was about to fight back, the gates of Ironforge opened, and a group of heavily armored dwarves rushed out with weapons such as battle axes, hammers, muskets, etc. The orcs, who were treated as sandwiches, couldn't resist and were quickly defeated.

A bearded man stood up and said, "I am Muradin-Brassbeard, brother of King Magni Brassbeard, and thank you for your help." ”

"I am Anduin Lothar, the commander of the Alliance. Lothar shook his hand heavily and introduced him to Richard, "This is Richard, the head of the mercenary group, thanks to him and his mercenaries we were able to get here in time." ”

Hey, Richard felt a toothache when he listened to Lothar's introduction, and the title of the head of the mercenary group felt frustrated, should he have a lofty title.
