After the army withstood the orcs, they backhanded the Black Iron Dwarves who were taking the back route and crushed them to death halfway up the Black Rock Mountain. The battle lasted a whole day, and the orcs saw that the dwarves were scattered and wanted to chase after them, but they retreated.

The dwarf directly gave up fighting with the orcs, turned around, and chased after the broken black iron dwarves.

Ha, now that we see, why do you think the dwarves did this?

Well?

Scold...... It's okay, you have your thoughts.

How many enemies did you kill in that battle?

Ah, you're the one at the Commander's side. Well, it's true that there is no need for all the people to rush up and fight hard.

Lothar had been slashed in the arm, but luckily it only cut the flesh and didn't hurt the bones, and my hand was not so lucky. The back of the hand was hit, and the bones on the back of the hand were almost smashed, and later it was found that one of the bones in the middle finger should be broken, it was very painful, and the whole right hand was swollen.

But the battle is not over.

Lothar's original request was to capture the passage in a battle, but the orcs could not have given it away. If it is to be given to us, it will be to give up the last defensive advantage of this mountain.

A lot of people died for that passage, but in the end, we had no choice but to retreat from Blackstone Mountain.

Fighting a war is a matter of morale, and it is often a matter of solving problems in one go, and the battle is decided. Once you can't take the first battle, the likelihood of being dragged into a war of attrition increases. And a war of attrition that pulls each other is exactly what Lothar does not want to see. But the end result is still the same.

After a whole day's fighting, the soldiers were quite tired, but there was no water at the bottom of the mountain, so they retreated again. This caused dissatisfaction among some people.

It was a depressing night. Some discordant voices began to emerge within the Union Army again. Hearing the news, Tulayan hurriedly came out to curb the spread of this emotion.

I'm very tired of that.

Watching Uther treat Lothar's wounds, I asked him why didn't you speak tonight? And he said, What is there to say? Isn't that what it is?

I asked him what he called it, wasn't that?

He said that this mood was normal, and that all he needed to do was to take the soldiers on a final charge, conquer the place and return to his hometown.

I said that this emotion would lead to low morale, and he laughed and said that Tulayan had already dealt with it.

What did Uther say at the time...... The overall morale is not high now, and it is not impossible to withdraw the troops temporarily after clearing this place. I was shocked by that, and I really didn't expect it to come out of his mouth.

I'm still wondering how to refute him, Lothar responded to him directly, "No way. ”

Uther didn't say anything, I didn't ask him to help me with my hand, you see my finger is still crooked, I'm disappointed in his position. I watched him leave and looked at Lothar, whose face was already full of solemnity.

He asked me if I had any wine, and I glanced at him and turned away. After asking for some wine from Furstad, he brought it to Lothar.

He asked me what I would do when the war was over.

I asked him, do you think I'm right about what I've said before?

He looked at me and smiled, and he said I was a weird guy.

I asked him if I was right. He was right. I said what I wanted to do was to prevent something from happening again.

He just looked at me.

I said, I admire you, you are not only able to lead troops in battle, but also a strategic politician, you have the best blood in your veins, this war has destroyed a lot but also portends hope. The kingdom of Stormwind will be rebuilt. I gave him a look, and I said, I'm not comforting you, and that's what the prophecy is about.

But he digressed from the subject, and he asked me if this battle was also prophesied. I said of course.

He didn't ask me if I would win, although I was expecting him to ask this question that he knew I would answer. But he gently asked me what the future holds for the Stormwind Kingdom?

I said that it would be the center of the world.

He smiled and asked me how Varian was?

I said very well, he will become a generation of Ming Jun. The groundbreaking king of the Stormwind Kingdom.

He looked sideways at the Black Stone Mountain in the distance and smiled, just saying that it would be good.

It's not the conversation I want, I say, but Varian needs help, he needs guidance.

But he just looked at the night sky and asked, "Will you always be with him?" ”

It made my heart chuckle. I asked him why he asked.

He turned to look at me and said, "You're a reliable guy. ”

I snorted, "Is that what you think of me?" ”

"It's hardest in the world to be convinced," Lothar said. ”

I said, "Everyone believes in you." ”

He sneered and said...... He's just a pawn in Game of Thrones, and now it's time for his mission to come to an end.

I was surprised and asked him why he said that, and what he said made me feel bad. Tut...... In fact......

Alas...... I know what he's trying to say, and I know there's a chance this fight won't end well! I've seen it in my dreams, I've seen this battle. But his words are like the last words of a dying man, and like the helpless confession of an old man who has seen through the world and tomorrow.

I was stunned and comforted him, and I said, "Tomorrow, we will fight this mountain, and we will be at Chiji Mountain in three or two days." Red Ridge Mountain ...... Do you remember how we fought the orcs in Red Ridge Mountain? ”

I wanted to divert his attention, but he was now immersed in his thoughts. He was silent for a while before he said slowly, "That monument to your brothers has been built, right?" ”

I sighed and asked him why he remembered those things, and he said that those who died should be remembered.

He gestured to the great sword leaning against the edge of his chair. He said that when he joined the brotherhood, he had some brothers around him. With a hint of sadness on his face as he said this, he said gloomily but they ...... Most of them have left him.

He then slowly explained to me that the sword had followed him for many, many years, having been forged from a piece of silver ingots left by his father when he was thirty-four years old, when he became the deputy head of the Iron Horse Brotherhood.

It wasn't a very long two-handed sword, and the shape wasn't sleek at all, but it was very handy, and the counterweight on it was very reasonable, and the weight was really suitable. What kind of sword is really used, this sword looks really unpretentious, that is, because it is so ordinary, I always carried it with him before, but I never cared about it.

It's just that the upper part of the sword lattice is engraved with two capital letters...... A.L。

He said the sword was called Ashkandi.

I asked him if the name meant anything.

Ashes...... He said.

This sword......

Hum...... There's not much to say......

In fact, there were not many members of the Order who fled to the north at that time, and Lothar was the only one who really followed him for many years, or survived from the Knights, and I was talking about the closest comrades-in-arms, after all, the head of the regiment has always been Leoric's.

I pointed to my back, the shield on my back was given to me by him at the beginning of the Battle of Brightwood. I untied it, and although there were many potholes in the shield, the shield was still intact.

I told him how many times this shield had protected me, and I kept telling the stories that I remembered, and he kept laughing and laughing with me, but I saw the tears in his eyes.

There wasn't much alcohol that night, but he was drunk.

The next day there was another attack on Blackstone Mountain, I found Reggie, I told him not to go crazy today, today is not about you killing dozens of orcs, I want him to be optimistic about Lothar today.

He asked me what I was going to do, and I said I would protect you both.

The battle began, the dwarven cannons rang out through the mountains, and the orcs retreated, their IQ was indeed not very high, but they were not stupid enough to be indifferent to our bombardment.

The orcs who had not yet rushed out of the gate of the Black Rock Mountain were forced back by the shattered corpses, and they retreated, very quickly. If the dwarves had used this stuff yesterday, they wouldn't have been tired like that.

Lothar did not let the dwarves charge after the bombardment, but advanced little by little with a cannon. This is simply too easy to use, and the orcs and black iron dwarves in the Black Rock Mountain were directly bombed and scurried around.

Seeing the ground shaken by the bombardment inside the Black Rock Mountain, it felt as if the mountain was about to collapse, and everyone fled frantically towards another exit. Instead of ordering a pursuit, Lothar slowly advanced to ensure that the army was safely occupied.

As we crossed the mountain and came out of the other exit, I excitedly told Lothar that Red Ridge Mountain was ahead!

The orcs have done the birds and beasts, and now we can stride towards the Red Ridge Mountain! It was only at this point that my heart calmed down a little, and I thought that the fight for this place would not be what it would be, but it was a blessing that it went so smoothly!

I was so happy! Happy for me, happy for Lothar.

After the army passed, I felt that I had no worries at all, and now I was relaxed, without that depression, without the haze of the previous days, without worries.

It's a good start and I feel like the future is bright!

There are ready-made roads, and there is much more water here than on the other side of the mountain, after all, this place was once full of villages of black iron dwarves.

We descended from the Blackstone Mountain, but when we came out of the pass, we found that the orcs were already waiting for us.

It's just that they didn't set up a position to hedge with us, but suddenly came out of the mountains.

Hah, they want to make a last stand! Then put an end to them here once and for all!

This should be said, the orcs suddenly killed, the dwarf artillery position did not have time to play a role at all, and the orcs had already rushed to the front. The soldiers in the front row immediately organized a shield wall, and when the rain of arrows of the archers did not seem to have a great effect, it was when they were attracted by the orcs who killed on the left side and suddenly killed a group from behind the mountain on the right. Our array of arrows broke through in one fell swoop.

At the same time as the head and sides of the team were being hit by the orc troops, there was a sudden commotion in the rear of our team.

Flames fall from the sky!
