——————
Lordaeron, the battle between the living and the dead is far from over.
Having absorbed enough souls, the power of Frostmourn was further unleashed, and now its power no longer fell under the name of an artifact.
Invincible with frost sorrow in his hand, wherever he appears, the human resistance will crumble, and he has become synonymous with death.
Unlike Arthas, Muradin is hundreds of years old, and hundreds of years have produced a terrifying military strategist, and he has put far more pressure on human society than Arthas in the history of the game.
He first dismantled the human stubbornness of the Hand of Tyr, and then destroyed the defenses of the Old Verding family in Hearthvale, completely without worries.
In the face of this invincible enemy, the remaining humans can only fight guerrilla warfare, but the undead are tireless, so it is not so much guerrilla warfare as the undead chasing humans everywhere.
He then began to invade the Hillsbrad Hills, spreading plague in the Arathi Basin, and Lordaeron and Riptide Fort were in turmoil for a while.
As more and more freedmen flock into the wetlands, a side branch of the Minahir family builds a refugee camp there, barely carving out an area for people to settle in, but the wetlands are not safe, and there is a group of dragon-throated orcs roaming the wetlands, who will not show mercy to humans.
In order to block the human race, these orcs will build a guard post near the mountain road that must be passed to Lokmodan at any cost, just to answer you.
If you can't get through this mountain road, you won't be able to go to Lokmodan, you won't be able to go to the Barren Land, you won't be able to go to the Burning Plains, and you won't be able to reach the Kingdom of Stormwind.
Some people say that there is not a subway? Rock Mordan is next to the Iron Forge, and the subway is swishing fast, but the subway does not need energy? How can it move without energy?
This is obviously something for the rich to sit on, and the average person can't afford to sit down.
But then again, what if you go to the Stormwind Kingdom, how can they take care of themselves, how can they accommodate others?
Therefore, most of the refugees still choose to stay in the wetlands and take care of each other, but if Fort Riptide, which is the last line of defense, is also destroyed by the undead, then they have no choice, and the Kingdom of Stormwind becomes their only hope.
But I don't know why, after the undead stormed the front line in large numbers, the invincible figure never appeared, and it was clear that when he came over and swung a sword, there would be a gap in the human defense line.
But it's always good that he doesn't come, and he'd better never come.
What no one knew was that on the north coast of the Tirisfal Glade, that terrifying figure was here at this moment, followed by a large group of high-level combat forces of the Scourge Legion.
He looked out to sea, where several giant keels were approaching.
"Kel'thugad, I'll leave it to you here during my absence. This short and fat guy didn't look back and commanded the people behind him, with a lonely temperament of a master.
One of the lichs behind him says he's not going to live up to his hopes and will annihilate humanity, but Humpty Dumpty says you just need to keep the status quo.
The lich was embarrassed, and then he watched Humpty Dumpty board the ship, until the shadow of the ship disappeared from view, and the lich began to shout out to his companions and began to give orders as the new commander.
"Sylvanas, we have a difficult task for you, we have found out that the Dreadlord Varimathas and a group of demons are camping in the nearby forest, go control him, and kill him if they can't control him!"
It was a heroic, convex and backward, tall, slender thigh, in short, beautiful bubbling dark ranger, the only regret was that her skin was purple-black, she nodded, so Kel'thugad ignored her and left the place.
After he left, the female undead unconsciously clenched the longbow in her hand, and her eyes glowing red were very strange.
If Zhang Li was here, he would definitely shout Long live the Queen.
That's right, she is the leader of my big tribe's appearance, Queen Xi is also, just look at her eyes full of negative emotions, you know that she is free.
And her freedom meant that someone managed to shake the Frozen Throne, and Neozu's control over the undead was greatly reduced, forcing Muradin to be recalled.
Since then, undead have appeared in the land in the name of the Forsaken.
..................
Kalimdor, a barren land, where the orcs have built an outpost, and at this time, thousands of centaurs are storming the weak defenses here.
"It's stupid to simply strive for strength. "On the frontal battlefield, a chubby creature in black and white roams the battlefield with incredible agility.
"Strength is not equal to strength, only the combination of speed, skill and strength can be called strength. His chubby body was incredibly light, and I saw him fly towards the enemy like a wild horse, it was an adult centaur, two and a half meters tall, and he approached him in an instant, and his two chubby claws instantly made an afterimage.
The centaur was powerless to parry, the fist shadow fell on his chest, he could only let out a painful howl, and then he turned around and whipped his leg in mid-air, and a burst sounded, and the centaur was kicked away directly, he fell to the ground, spit out two mouthfuls of blood in pain, and then swallowed unwillingly.
After doing all this, the chubby creature jumped back slightly, and pointed the tip of the fence with his toes, the whole person was as light as a feather, and the sharp wooden thorns actually only made his skin sink slightly, looking at his round fat body, this scene was really incomprehensible.
"I beg to differ. After he fell, a super-strong-looking orc beside him spoke, he was too tall and strong, at least two heads taller than the average orc, at least two meters four.
"I know a clan that is equally fast and skillful, and they are known as Juggernauts. The tall orc smiled hideously, but those who knew the orcs well knew that it was a friendly smile.
"Every Sword Saint is very powerful, but they have a fatal weakness, that is, everyone in their clan is pursuing kendo, but not all of them are talented, and the result of a large part of people's efforts is that they have not become a Sword Saint, and they have missed the best age to temper their bodies, and the people who can really go far on this road are a few after all, and it is impossible for a clan to rely on these few people to develop and grow, so this clan has always been just a small clan. ”
The man spoke eloquently, with no trace of concern on his face, as if he didn't care at all about the group of centaurs in front of him, who were far outnumbered by him.
"Hey, we're talking about martial arts, aren't we? The black and white chubby protested dissatisfiedly.
"Haha, Chen, I can't talk about martial arts, you always have a lot of theories, to be honest, I don't understand at all. The tall orc laughed heartily: "And what the Tao is, I still haven't figured it out." ”
The black-and-white chubby man known as Chen showed an expression that could not be carved from rotten wood.
"Eh, bosom friends are hard to find, forget it, let's hurry up and deal with the enemy. As he spoke, the round creature suddenly split into three, all of which looked like energy bodies.
A blue-white, full of crackling thunder and lightning, and his movements are as fast as thunder, shuttling among the centaurs, constantly plundering the lives of others; a blue-white, he is suspended in mid-air, his movements are as light as the wind, he is indeed surrounded by whirlwinds, these whirlwinds are getting faster and faster, and soon they are extremely lethal; the last crimson is very rough, his movements are very rough, his fists and feet often carry a hot force, and from time to time he opens his mouth to spew out a ball of fire, turning the cone-shaped area of three or four meters in front of him into a purgatory.
"Misha, we can't be left behind, go ahead, don't let people underestimate you. A huge bear more than four meters tall beside him nodded humanely, and then rushed into the enemy line like a tank, and the tall orc also joined the battle, and the fighting style was indescribable.
There is a giant bear companion named Misha, his identity is self-explanatory, yes, he is the tribal hero Lexa, the black and white chubby who helps him fight, his name is Chen * Storm Spirits, a pandaren warrior monk.
In other words, because Sal got the map of Kalimdor given to him by Zhang Li, his mind came alive.
In the history of the game, he was blind to Kalimdor, and after landing in the Barrens, he wanted to build a home quickly, so he found a town in the northern mountains of Durontar, near the Ash Valley, for the wood in the Ash Valley.
As a result, the Night Elves were provoked by cutting down trees, and later the reckless Father of the Brainless Roar was tricked into drinking the blood of demons again, killing Cenarius, and the orcs and the Night Elves became an undying situation.
But here, Thrall already knows the general distribution of the various forces here through the map, so of course he will not build a city in the original place, who wants to provoke the enemy for nothing?
There was no longer a city there, and there was a lot of timber around, and there was only one area on the east coast of Kalimdor that met the criteria, and that was the Dust Swamp, which was supposed to be where Gianna built Theramore, but now that Gianna and her father hadn't been killed by her, it wouldn't have been her business.
Thrall had the heart to build a home in the Dust Swamp, but it was already occupied by a group of ogres, and if he wanted to occupy it, he would have to ask them if they would like it.
Who would want to give up their homeland? So Thrall failed, he didn't think about taking it by force, but the orcs came here with less than 10,000 people when they came by sea, and he was reluctant to let his precious people risk it, so he had to abandon it.
But he wasn't going to give up the wood here, so he chose to build his home where the League built the Northern Castle in the history of the game.
He chose this place for several reasons, the first was that it was close to the dust swamp and easy to transport wood, and the other was that it was a new home with the Minotaurs. Mogore, not far apart, the two allied races can take care of each other if something happens, and in the end, all players who are familiar with orcs know that orcs cooperate with goblins, and even Orgrim is designed and built by other goblins, and orcs have no talent in construction, so Thrall needs goblins, even if they will be killed by goblins, he has to cooperate with them, and the location of the northern castle here is very close to Goblins' Ratchet City, which is the last reason.
After the Battle of Seamount, Thrall led his warriors back to the Barrens, where he met the Beastmaster Lexa, an orc-ogre hybrid who had a strong sense of belonging to Thrall's new tribe and joined the tribe.
After learning that the orcs were troubled by a group of ogres, he immediately promised to deal with the ogres, and since Lexa had ogre blood in his body, he was qualified to compete with the ogre chieftain, so he challenged the ogre chief and became the new chief.
Then he led the group of ogres to join the tribe, and he is still working for the tribe, during a mission he met the pandaren warrior monk Chen* Storm Spirit, this pandaman was in some trouble at that time, he helped him solve the difficulties, and Chen became good friends with him, and went with him on the expedition to Azeroth.
By the way, after the Battle of Haishan, under the peace of Gianna and the Night Elves, Dalin signed a truce agreement with the orcs, and he couldn't sign it, he had only a few thousand soldiers, and he was not at sea at that time, and if the orcs turned their faces, he was not an opponent at all, so this was also his delaying strategy.
He then set up an outpost in Durotar to spy on the orcs (the name Durotar was originally given by Thrall in honor of his father Durontar, and it was originally called Durotar, but it was later called Durotar).
Dai Lin's actions made Sal like a fish in his throat, but he couldn't help it, since the truce had been made, he couldn't control where the family built their home.
And now he is worrying about how to take over the other clansmen of the Eastern Kingdom, in Okushan, most of his clansmen are still there, although he has a truce with Dalin, but Dalin can only represent Kurtiras, he cannot represent the entire alliance, so Thrall is very distressed.
In the history of the game, this may be the reason why the Forsaken were able to join the Horde, Thrall wants to use the power of the Forsaken to bring his own people over, and at the same time to contain the alliance, but the first point should be the most important, who wants to establish friendship with a group of undead, even if you say that you are free from the control of the Lich King, but there is no basis for your words, why should I believe you?
Thrall's move may also be out of desperation, and in this time and space, if the Forsaken find him, I am afraid that he will still form an alliance, as for whether it will ignite another war with the alliance because of this, the lesser of two evils, in order to receive his people, he has no choice.
And the truth is that a few months later, Queen Xi did send an emissary.
