"Human mages can't do it?" I looked at him with an eyebrow raised.

"At least I don't think so." He snorted, "And if those guys could control the war, we wouldn't need to suffer here." You know where I am, how good the environment is, the air in this rotten place only smells cold, and the cold air in my house has a sweet smell. ”

"Hah!" I grinned. "It's not...... Are they small in number or what? Aren't you skilled? ”

"There weren't many people in the first place, so what's the use of those ten or twenty people." "And they...... Belch...... When facing the orc wolf cavalry, they are basically powerless, have no power to fight back, and have no ...... Hmph, it's to give away people's heads. ”

"So exaggerated?"

"Hah! Exaggeration? Not an exaggeration at all! The wolf cavalry is not the puppet of the stage play performed by your human condolence group, and their ability to act is ...... And if you did...... Ah no, we've seen each other more than once before! And the wolf cavalry here is even more fierce than before. ”

He shook his head, "I still remember how those things rode through the huge wolves in the ice and snow of Danmorrow, but these wolves that appear today are very different from before, they are more stealthy and more mobile. ”

"I know who they are." I say.

"You know again?" He pursed his lips.

"Of course, I was involved in the whole process from the orc invasion to the expulsion from human territory." I wasn't proud of what I said, so I just shut my mouth again.

"They're newly invaded? Or ......"

"No, they were the first invading orc troops, but ...... They left the tribe for some reason and then remained in the north, that is, ...... Here is seclusion. ”

His eyes widened unconsciously, "Here? You're talking about this? Alterac? ”

"Yes."

Lei Spear's brow furrowed suddenly, "I said it! ”

"They're more familiar with this place than you are." I say.

"Ahh He screamed, then laughed. "No wonder!"

"And...... As far as I know, the place where these guys lived was the Ice Plains when they didn't invade here, so the orcs of their tribe are very good at fighting in this kind of place. I nodded.

"You know quite a bit."

"I've traveled a lot and I've seen a lot of people." I laughed.

"How do you know about those elves?"

"I've been to that place called Kalimdor." I say.

"Where's that?"

"It's far away, you have to take a boat, and it's almost there after ten days and half a month." I say.

"How about the orcs?"

"It's not good, except that it's freer than being encircled by humans, the outside world is not much better than here."

"But look at these guys are in good shape and equipped now."

"They have allies." I say.

Thunderspear's expression changed, "The ally you said...... What is it. ”

"Allies...... Hmph, minotaurs, trolls. ”

"Trolls?" He frowned, "Trolls, you say? ”

"It's not you d'Andro trolls in the freezing snow, it's ...... A troll in the forest south of the Stormwind Kingdom. I said, "They probably aren't so frost-resistant." ”

"Hmm...... I haven't seen a troll either, what's that minotaur you're talking about? ”

"A thing that looks like a big cow." I gestured.

"Huge ...... Cattle? "He doesn't seem to understand very well," the cow ...... Can talk? ”

"Yes, there will be wars."

"How do you fight that kind of thing? Tie something to the horns? Or run and charge like a wild donkey? ”

"Ha, what, they don't lie on the ground but can walk upright,"

"The world is big...... Tsk, it's really the world's big. He smacked his tongue and shook his head, "But I hate boats." ”

"There's no such thing here, is there?"

"Hmm...... No, only orcs so far. He said.

I glanced at him while I was pouring the wine, "Then you didn't think about why the orcs and the undead appeared at the same time. ”

He paused with his hand holding the glass, "What do you mean?" ”

I nodded, "Could they be allies?" ”

"This ......," he suddenly had a feeling of sudden realization, "what do you say...... Seems to make some sense. ”

"The sudden appearance of the orcs is definitely not accidental, they ...... But far away in Kalimdor. I said.

"I ...... this matter Unexpectedly. ”

"Didn't you expect this kind of thing that Gianna didn't tell you?"

His expression suddenly became unpleasant, "This woman you are talking about...... I think I really need to grab it and ask. ”

"So you don't know that orcs and undead are in league with each other?"

"You...... Belch...... Orcs are indeed ...... It's not very likely that there will be revenge on your own initiative...... So...... If this group of dead people took the initiative to find them, ah...... It makes sense to say that, no wonder there were two battles in which dead people appeared. ”

"They didn't charge with the orcs, nor did they cooperate with the orc attack, but they did find the dead man's troops after or before the battle." He nodded, "That's it...... They became the vanguard and pathfinder of the orcs, or the follow-up troops......"

He gritted his teeth, got up from his chair, and walked to the sand table in the middle of the room.

"Orcs are more familiar with the terrain...... Orcs are in league with the dead...... So saying that the fiasco in the first battle was not accidental. His face became very solemn.

I walked over to the sand table with my glass in hand. "Is this a topographic map?"

"Yes, it's a topographic map of the area." He pointed to a fort, "Here we are. ”

I looked at the sand table and pointed to the fortress where we were and said, "The ...... near this pass Is the terrain accurate? ”

"Of course." He said.

"Where did the orcs slip from?"

"I don't know." He glanced at me.

"Still don't know?" I looked at him in amazement, and he pouted without squeaking.

"Then what's the use of building such a fortress here?" I'm going to be amused by him.

He looked at me with some shame and said, "If you find it, you can block it, but this is still the way for the army to pass through after all, and we are also to prevent them from attacking unscrupulously in the future." ”

Don't say it, he has a point.

"Do you have any other difficulties defending now?"

"It's a lot harder." He snorted and grabbed the baton from the table. "Our lack of troops is the primary problem, and if the orcs attack, ...... from here At this point, our front line can be said to be here, we have built a fortress here, through which we can directly threaten here, and it can be said that after this place is captured, we basically have little power to parry here. ”

"Then you should move this fortress here." I say.

"This is the base camp, built by the last general." When he said this, he obviously didn't have a lot of confidence.

"Well, but it's right to be a base camp here, how can you put a base camp directly on the front line." I comforted.

"After this fort, it's all the way downhill, it's a big basin, and we've built bunkers, forts, here."

"This bunker is a bit far from this." I say.

"This is called the Stone Furnace Bunker, and it is impossible to show it so clearly and not so accurately on the sand table, but this place is the most suitable place for me to build a bunker fortress at present." He said.

"How?"

"The Stone Furnace Bunker is far from this, this is called the Ice Wing Fortress is the closest one, the Stone Furnace Bunker is in the middle of this plain, it is considered the forefront, but this place is backed by a big mountain, and it is almost impossible to bypass it from behind, and as long as the orcs pass through this great plain, they can almost see it, not only can they see it, but it is also a place where they must take it down, they definitely don't want to be stabbed in the ass."

"What about here?" I pointed to a position not far from the stone furnace bunker.

"This was built when I was last here, and it was destroyed once, and now I have built a stone furnace bunker here as a cover for this."

"This is the front line of the original defenders, right?"

"So to speak." He nodded, "This place is now guarded by humans, and those mages are there right now. ”

"You've put them on the front line?" I almost screamed.

"How?"

I stared at the sand table for a long time before I looked up, "This place ...... It's hard to keep. ”

"It's not good to keep...... Hmph, where is the best place to guard? He sat down in his chair, and he paused and said, "It's true that this bunker is at the forefront, but now I'm in ...... Over here. He pointed to the sand table, "There is a second line of defense here above this bunker, it is very close from the icewing fortress to the second line of defense, from the second line of defense to here, this is called the stone furnace outpost, it is not far, and the second line of defense is relatively high, once the stone furnace outpost is lost, we still have a bit of a terrain advantage." ”

I pursed my mouth and looked at where he was pointing. "Why did you have to build this outpost? Uh, no...... I mean, why do you have to keep it? ”

"The defenders of the Stone Furnace Fortress can take care of this outpost." He said. "It's a triangle now, because if you do attack the Icewing Fortress, there are three paths."

He stood up again and pointed to the Icewing Bunker and said, "There is a road from the Stone Furnace Fortress that can be inserted, and the surprise soldiers here are a great threat to us, but my Stone Furnace Bunker here not only looks after the entire plain, but also blocks the road for the sneak attack, which is an obstacle that must be set up for them." ”

"There are also two roads, one is from here, through the plain from under the cliff, there is a road that can be up, as long as you climb up the cliff, it is a flat river." He nodded to the sand table, "Now the construction is being stepped up here, this is also a very important point of the second line of defense, once this place is breached, the second line of defense will be considered useless, and the orcs can directly force the ice wing fortress under the city." ”

And ...... This stone outpost is the third way to watch their attack on the front line, which is the west. He pointed to the west of the stone outpost, "Here...... The terrain is relatively flat, and we have more time to rush from above when this outpost attracts attention. ”

I raised an eyebrow, "Is this what you want?" ”

He squinted at me with those little eyes, "Ah! How? ”

"Hmm...... I think that's what you say...... Holding on is not a problem at all. ”

"Humph! Theories and assumptions are always things on the sand table, but this is not the case in reality. He said. Now there are fewer people. He glanced at me and said, "We are understaffed and the construction progress is slow, so I can only send more scouts now, and I will be worried if there is a disturbance over there." ”

"What about the soldiers?"

"After the orcs miraculously passed through, the Tarummir side was silent, and I guess they were going to die of fright, and the army that was supposed to be sent was now cut off. If the orcs hadn't launched a massive attack, that would have been it. But once they attacked...... Oh my God! He slammed his baton on the table.

"How many of you are left?"

He just shook his head and didn't speak.

"What about you...... What was the reason for such a big anger just now? ”

He sighed and looked up at me, "Not only are we running out of troops right now, but our weapons aren't in place. ”

"What do you mean? What is a weapon...... Don't you have weapons with you? ”

"It's not that, we don't have a shortage of bows and arrows, I'm talking about ...... Cannon! ”
