Volume 3 Kuroshio 43 Dwarves' Miscalculations
- It's supposed to be bedtime, lieutenant.
-Samuelson:......
-Belch...... You've just come out of the palace?
-Samuelson:......
-Hum...... My king is so dedicated, and you. Well, lieutenant, give me good news. If I hadn't advised you to rest early, I'm not in a good mood right now.
-Samuelson:......
- Oh, the past...... Wouldn't it be nice to let him pass the past?
-Samuelson:......
- Don't press me with nonsense that history needs the truth, it doesn't matter who wrote history at all, what the truth of history is now...... It doesn't matter to me either. And you who record history can write history the way you want.
- Does it matter what I say or not?
-Samuelson:......
- I'm a little relieved that you're still young, and that it's really important for him to know that he's going to be a good king, and I'm going to correct you a little bit...... I don't mean to slander or anything, I'm just recounting what I see, and of course what the king can get out of my narrative is his business. Maybe he still has a lot of channels to understand, but I believe that the more he knows, the clearer his understanding of the past will be, and only those who understand the past can better grasp the future. You tell me?
-Samuelson:......
- Yes, the establishment of the Council of Seven is actually useless, and the dwarves have no follow-up after sending out the distress letter, and the dwarves no longer need our help when our alliance is formed.
- Yes, hum! King Terenus pretended to organize an army, but sent a letter of inquiry before setting out, wondering what was going on there, for the dwarves never sent again. The answer was no, and I don't know how the dwarves thanked Terenus, but the army he had just assembled and had not yet reached Brill was happily withdrawn.
-Samuelson:......
-Joyfully it's a word I added, I can't get used to it! That's pretty much what it means, shouldn't the soldiers be happy that they don't have to fight, they don't have to go hungry and sleep in the open, they don't have to die for something they don't know? Of course, the Terenus guy was overjoyed, too.
- I made it up happily, but the withdrawal was real.
-Samuelson:......
- Well, I'll be serious...... No problem. Hum......
- This withdrawal actually did not make any waves in Lothar's heart, after all, two thousand soldiers were sent, two thousand ...... What can it be used for? If you've never dealt with orcs, I guess it's okay, but we've fought with orcs. What are these two thousand people for? The dwarves all sent a message for help, and the 2,000 soldiers of the human race were not fooling the ghosts.
-Samuelson:......
- Both sides paid a terrible price, hum...... That's really ...... This is the number of fates, which cannot be changed or escaped.
-Samuelson:......
- The winter was very cold, and the winter seemed to get a lot longer, and it snowed in April, do you remember?
- It's not just us that is snowing, but the dwarves are also snowing.
-Samuelson:......
- One of the snows caused the dwarves to completely lose Lokmodan and ...... He was completely sealed in the grave that the dwarves had dug for themselves.
-Samuelson:......
- The grave is an adjective, my lieutenant. The dwarves lost Kazmodan, the whole land, the whole land! All! In the end, they retreated to Ironforge Fort. Although Ironforge Fort was not captured at that time, if the orcs did not expand so fiercely, it would be a siege, and perhaps the Copperbeard tribe would follow...... The little dwarfs...... and they were destroyed.
-Samuelson:......
- Don't worry, I'll tell you what's going on, ask appropriate questions, don't interrupt everything.
- The orc attack went smoothly at first that winter, and they did not find a passage into the dwarven hinterland of Danmoro, which the orc forces entered from the south of the Badlands, a wetland basin with abundant water and grass, beautiful scenery, and a pleasant climate. There are many dwarven villages and some dwarven cities, and life in that place is actually much more comfortable than Danmoro, which is frozen all year round, but ...... Maybe the copperbearded dwarves are born with this kind of cheap skin, and more dwarves still like to live in Danmoro, perhaps it has something to do with the fact that they don't like to bathe.
-Samuelson:......
- Ha, just kidding, Danmoro is extremely rich in minerals, extremely rich. So the dwarves who live there can unleash their instincts to their heart's content, digging, digging and digging to death! Maybe dig a little deeper, and you'll find a treasure vein of gems, which is, in their words, addictive.
- We don't know what's addictive about digging this thing.
- The dwarves of Lokmodan are engaged in agricultural production, ensuring that the dwarves in the mountains have food and drink. What's more, the dwarves here are the first line of defense to protect Danmoro.
-I can't remember which blizzard, but the orcs took advantage of that blizzard to kill that territory, and the orcs attacked fiercely, and the dwarves didn't react at all, and almost all of them fell in just two days.
-Samuelson:......
-Orcs are much taller than dwarves, and the blizzard they say may not be much to orcs. And that land...... It's almost all low hills, and although it's not the kind of flat river, it's a place that is very comfortable for orcs who are good at cavalry attacks and raids.
- The wolf cavalry ran tirelessly, taking advantage of the heavy snow to close the road and quickly penetrate into the interior, and a large number of wolf cavalry interspersed to block the road, which led to the fact that most of the villages and towns were attacked at the beginning The news could not be spread at all. Wolf cavalry chasing fleeing dwarves in the field is as fun as catching rabbits in the snow in winter.
-Belch...... Don't say this to the dwarves' faces.
- And the bunkers built by the dwarves in the hills are very low, and to put it mildly, they are not much different from rabbit nests. As a result, the orc infantry did not even think about keeping prisoners after entering the village.
-Samuelson:......
- Directly blow up the hole, or seal the hole with firewood and set it on fire, the most ruthless is the oil of fire. Alas......
-Samuelson:......
-The attack is very fast, very, very fast, at this time a large number of orcs are pouring into this world, some berserk orcs...... The tainted orcs have also come to this world.
-Samuelson:......
- The orcs who are fighting with us should know that they are different, with different skin tones, different eyes, and different combat strength.
-Green-skinned orcs are polluted, and most of them have red eyes, and this kind of orc fighting power ...... You know.
- There are a lot of orcs in the prisoner of war camps at Hillsbrad and Arathi, and they inflict heavy casualties on our troops.
-Samuelson:......
- I don't know, I can't remember, it turns out that I remember how this orc was made, but ...... I can't remember a lot of things after I got hurt.
-Samuelson:......
-I'll tell you where I'm not sure, and besides, I'm not the only one who tells you stories, huh......
-The early offensive was swift, but they suffered heavy losses at the fortress of Ogaz, and it was the fortress that ensured that we survived the winter.
-Samuelson:......
- Fortress of Ogaz, this place should be familiar to you, in order to retake that place, we have killed tens of thousands of people!
-Samuelson:......
- Remember, the dwarves call it Dan Ogaz, but its name actually means Ogaz...... Fortress.
- This fortress is immense, unless you fly over! It was impossible to pass through it from under it without peeling off a few layers of skin, and the orcs suffered a lot here, and the dwarves fought a tug-of-war with them, if it weren't for the long supply lines of the orcs, and they could have been supported by burning all the food at the beginning of the operation.
- Thanks to the snow of that year, later the orcs retreated. That's why the six kings in the north sat together and talked for a long time, forming a council of the Seven Kingdoms, and then the dwarves didn't call for reinforcements.
-Samuelson:......
-The orcs retreated south, and according to later dwarven intelligence, the orcs retreated very decisively after they couldn't defeat the fortress of Ogaz. Most of them are not suited for long periods of time in cold conditions, and when they later retreat, they find that they are not well stocked.
- That being said, the orcs did not completely withdraw from Lokmodan.
- A bigger ...... Conspiracy is brewing.
-Samuelson:......
- Conspiracy means that they are preparing something that we don't know, I call it a conspiracy. But what exactly was done was only later to be known. I didn't know that at the time.
-Samuelson:......
-After the New Year's warm, the orcs looted Lockmodan almost, they were meat-eaters, and in order to hoard supplies, they killed almost all of the large animals in Lockmodan.
- It's really nothing.
- There are two things that completely changed this war.
-No...... It should be three things.
-Tut!
-I want to get angry when I say that...... Very angry, very disappointed!
-Samuelson:......
- Orcs must die! They shouldn't have been kept, the POW camp was a mistake! Pure mistake!
-Samuelson:......
- Although those orcs became languishing and half-dead after the war, but that was only a part, only those red-eyed guys, brown-skinned orcs were not like this. And...... There is a very wise existence in them, even more intelligent than most of us.
-That one...... The damn Blackmore of Dunhold Castle is still something, he has dog-like pets that I mean, and now they're slipping away...... Run, you don't know, that guy will be very good in the future, he ...... Will lead a new tribe.
-I know you think what I'm saying now is just talking nonsense, but I'm telling you, I'm very sober now, and everything I say now is likely to become a reality in the future.
- Write down what I said, tell Varian.
-Samuelson:......
- Orc ......
- What the hell! I've got to talk about it first!
-The success of the orc attack is directly related to the goblins!
- Write it down, Samuelson, write it down, I'm afraid I'll forget, tell the king, if ...... It is necessary to seize the forest to the south, and I am talking about the forest to the south of the original sunny glade...... Further southerly ...... Seaport!
- Do you understand?
-Samuelson:......
- Idiot! I repeat, to the south of the Sunshine Glade is a vast forest, and I don't mean to occupy that forest, if necessary...... I really can't help it, so I can occupy it, but I think it's difficult. However, at the southernmost end of the forest there was a harbor, and that harbor was called Treasure Bay, which was the gathering point of the goblins, the goblins of that place...... It's all opportunists!
- Stormwind ...... Fall...... Yes! Yes, I saw them before the fall! The little green-skinned animals, now that I think about it, they came to do business...... Who do you do business with?
-Ha......
- Who do you think they are coming to do business with?
