Chapter 276: The two armies face each other
Lordaeron's army of 30,000 has arrived at the border with Alterac and will soon be able to enter Alterac City if it is allowed to.
With the addition of these 30,000 troops, the ratio of the strength of the alliance and the tribe has changed from 80,000 to 65,000 to 110,000 to 65,000, and the elite rate of the Lordaeron army is very high, which is not comparable to the militia at all, which can greatly improve the quality of the troops of the alliance camp, so that the strength advantage is nearly doubled, and the alliance has an absolute advantage.
Now King Aiden finally had confidence.
Changing the previous submissive promise, with a wave of one hand, "Then the royal army will serve as the central army, all the noble coalition forces will form the right wing, and the Lordaeron reinforcements will form the left wing, and the militia troops will still be used as a reserve force, and after three days, go to the Ice Wolf Plains to start a decisive battle with the tribe!" ”
With King Aiden's order, the military council came to an end.
When the nobles dispersed, the princes went about their own business.
Murphy dragged Arthas to his room.
Aidan (Prince Alterac): "Third brother, aren't you in Stormwind?" How did you come here with an army? ”
This is something he desperately wants to figure out, what is the principle of the effect of this [Gathering Brothers].
Arthas (Prince Lordaeron): "The day after you left, the orcs launched a fierce assault on Stormwind, the offensive was very fierce, King Ryan sent out cavalry to launch a surprise attack from behind the enemy, destroying some siege weapons, but there were too many orcs, and they seemed to be prepared.
Several attempts failed, and we had to defend Stormwind, and I couldn't help much, so my second brother told me to go back to Lordaeron and try to get my father to send reinforcements as soon as possible.
When I returned, just in time for the formation of the army, I asked my father to lead the army, and he agreed to my request, but before I could set out, the scouts intercepted the letter in a bag in the Silver Pine Forest, so my father ordered me to come to Alterac to fight.
By the way, big brother, I dreamed of you yesterday. ”
"Dream of me?"
"Yes, I dreamed that you were threatened, so today I came with a few hundred royal knights first, and the army is still behind."
Mo Fei was a little surprised at this time, he even brought a dream, this gathering brother is really amazing.
However, it also explains why Arthas was summoned, apparently because it was not too far away.
Arthas anxiously asked, "By the way, big brother, do you have any news of Stormwind recently?" By the time I left, the orc attack had been fierce, and I had been in the army for the rest of the year, and I had no way of knowing what was going on in Stormwind, so I was worried. ”
Of course he does, although there is no news from Alterac, he is on the game forum every day.
Now the Stormwind Siege is the most popular story event in the game, and it can be said that the victory or defeat of this war directly determines the development of the main line of the next stage of the game.
Players from both the Alliance and the Horde are gathered in and around Stormwind, which is why there are so few adventurers on the Alterac side.
Now the siege of Stormwind City has entered a white-hot state, the orc army is approaching the city, frantically launching a siege, and the Stormwind Kingdom is waiting for reinforcements, just waiting for the alliance reinforcements.
The defenders of Stormwind have suffered heavy casualties in the past few days, and according to the forum, they are now almost completely supported by the adventurer's three lives a day, and they are about to be overwhelmed.
It seems that if nothing else, the fall of Stormwind is probably a matter of time.
Murphy is more pessimistic about the ending of Stormwind, in addition to the reason for the power gap, the biggest reason is that the GM is likely to deliberately lead the city to fall, after all, this is how the plot can develop as it has historically.
However, it was not convenient for Mo Fei to say this.
Murphy could only shake his head, "I haven't heard anything about Stormwind City. ”
"I'm very worried about the second brother, there is too much pressure on his side, if it weren't for such an emergency this time, I would have led the army to reinforce him a long time ago."
Mo Feixin said my stupid brother, it seems that you don't understand the twists and turns at all.
"Don't worry, when this battle is over, I will also tell my father to let me lead the reinforcements of Alterac, and when the time comes, we will go to Stormwind City together to rescue Varian."
After appeasing Arthas, Murphy went to the side hall to meet with the princes to discuss the next move.
At the meeting, everyone was a little curious about Arthas, the protagonist of the destiny.
Victor (Prince Alterac): "Brother, I didn't expect you to know Arthas so well?" ”
Aidan (Prince Alterac): "It's okay, that is, I just got to the point of being called a brother, I met when I was an envoy to the Stormwind Kingdom last time, he was an envoy of Lordaeron, and I saved his life. ”
Mr. Ma (Prince Alterac): "I thought you were bragging, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”
Dalabon (Prince Alterac): "What is this, King Wa has to shout big brother when he sees our brother, you don't know, the three of us are in Stormwind City, and we have won battles, if it weren't for my father's recall, I am afraid that the tribe would not have been defeated." ”
Everyone is contemptuous, bragging about not paying taxes.
However, I am still a little envious, and it is a very cool thing to be able to participate in such a big event and write history.
Darkseid (Prince Alterac): "Don't be envious, haven't we become the center of the plot of the Storm and Cloud Meeting now, as long as we win this battle, why worry about our reputation, if we can kill the world Sa 0 in advance, it will also be very fulfilling." ”
Ye Suifeng (Prince Alterac): "Cut, Sal is still wearing open crotch pants, and there is a sense of accomplishment in killing this kind of little brat." ”
Dalabon (Prince Alterac): "Then his father, Durotan is also an epic hero, and he must have a lot of plot points, and maybe he can also have a relationship with Sal like a rival, ten years later, Sal avenged his father and came to us for a decisive battle, thinking about it, it's also very epic." ”
God of War Lu Bu (Prince Alterac): "I don't care about Sal or anything anyway, the key is not to let Aiden's old guy live, I can see it, if he doesn't die Alterac will take jujube pills, and how can the eldest husband be depressed and live under the people for a long time, then I will let Arthas know that when it comes to father's kindness and filial piety, our Alterac brothers are professionals." ”
Mo Fei was speechless when he heard it, and said in his heart, brother, the direction of your competitive spirit is a little wrong.
Over the next two days, Lordaeron's army arrived.
Alterac's army was also assembled, several military meetings were held, the layout of the battlefield formation and tactical arrangements were determined, and the time passed day by day, and the day of war finally came.
On this day, the army outside the city of Alterac gathered, and King Aiden led the princes, nobles, and Lordaeron reinforcements led by Arthas, and marched towards the Ice Wolf Plain.
More than 10,000 soldiers, boundless, more than 100,000 soldiers, covering the sky, looking at the mighty army of 110,000, King Aiden was full of pride, this is an unprecedented army in the history of the Alterac Kingdom - although 30,000 of them are from other countries, and 30,000 are militiamen, but this does not prevent him from being excited for a while.
This can be regarded as the highlight of his life.
He is so aggrieved as a king, and today he can finally be domineering.
The army was so great that it took a full morning to reach its destination.
"Here, this is the Ice Wolf Plain!"
Murphy said to Arthas on the side.
The Ice Wolf Plain is the home of the Ice Wolf, the open and flat ice field is endless, everywhere is snow-white, only a few sparse trees are scattered in between, the open field of view and flat terrain are suitable for this kind of large-scale battle.
As the army slowly unfolded, the strict military formation was full of murderous energy, and the adventurers who were leveling up the ice wolf in the wilderness were so frightened that they ran away one after another.
And on the horizon in the distance, a huge orc army also slowly appeared in view.
"I'll go, there are so many orcs!"
"Does the Frostwolf Clan have so many troops? Why doesn't it look less than ours? ”
Murphy heard some of the adventurers talking and whispering.
Indeed, if you just look at the momentum of the army, the orc army is not at all inferior to the human side.
The reason is very simple, the orcs are stout, much larger than humans, plus the character is scattered, and the military formation is relatively loose, so with the same number of troops, the formation of the orc army is often about half larger than the human army, and the result is that the formation of more than 60,000 orcs is not lost to the formation of the 110,000 army on the human side.
The military formations on both sides all spread for several kilometers, and there was no end in sight.
"Huh? The flag over there is - Frost Troll? ”
Everyone was a little surprised, it was really a frost troll.
After the founding of the kingdom of Alterac, they continued to open up, their main opponent was the frost troll, hundreds of years of conquest, the frost troll was defeated, hid in the mountains, and no longer had the courage to fight with humans on a large scale, just continued to harass the border, King Aiden's only son at the beginning, died at the hands of the frost troll.
I didn't expect it to appear again now, and it has become a reinforcement for the orcs.
Then I found the figure of the storm giant in the orc army, although there are only a few dozen, but these are all level 80 monsters, and they can definitely play a huge role on the battlefield.
Another giant wolf, with a body length of more than ten meters, led thousands of ice wolves into the battlefield.
Looking at the various demons and monsters in the orc army, King Aiden, who was originally full of confidence, showed a worried expression on his face at this time.
"These orcs...... Why are they ...... so many troops?"
The god of war, Lu Bu (Prince Alterac): "Father, don't worry, with my brothers here, you won't have any accidents." ”
Darkseid (Prince Alterac): "Yes, Father, don't worry, there are so many of us protecting you, what else do you have to fear?" ”
King Aiden looked around, there were more than twenty sons around him, almost surrounded him, even his hundreds of royal guards were cut off behind, indeed, with these twenty brave and fearless sons to protect, what else did he have to fear.
Suddenly, he waved his hand arrogantly, "Prepare for war." ”
Woo-woo, with a terrible sound of trumpets, the war is about to begin.
