Chapter 215: Stone Fort Fortress
In this way, Celestine immediately led everyone to search in the stone castle tower.
Since the Blackstone Orcs in this place have been cleared, with no enemies for the time being, everyone can go about it.
Michaela also took advantage of this opportunity to climb to the roof of the fortress with John, the guard who was only left with his pants, and chatted while sentry into the sun.
What?
Why didn't Michaela go with the group of adventurers to fish for loot, not afraid of Celestine and them stealing the money in their pockets?
Torina jumped out and said, "The answer is that it is not necessary, his pocket is a soul-bound item that no one else can use. In addition, although Michaela can get out of trouble alone, objectively, Celestine and they did help Michaela, so the latter was embarrassed to grab the loot with them, so he simply turned a blind eye."
During this time, Guard John and Michaela talked a lot.
The fortress beneath their feet was called Stone Fort Fortress, which was originally used as a gateway to the northeast of Lakeside Town, to defend against the local flooding of gnolls. However, just after King Varian disappeared and the regent Bovar came to power, he decided to shrink his defenses and withdraw a large number of soldiers, which directly led to a serious shortage of local defenses.
As a result, the Blackstone Orcs of the Burning Plains discovered this defensive loophole and immediately made a big move, establishing a Ripper camp around the cave in the northwest of Red Ridge Mountain near the gate of the Burning Plains, and continued to advance southward, laying down the severely underdefended Stone Fort Fortress, which directly threatened the safety of Lakeside Town.
At this point, John sighed and said, "Why did Lord Regent shrink his defenses? Doesn't he know the northern ones?
Will the murderous Blackstone Orcs take the Black Dragon south with them to destroy us?"
Well, this ......
I said that Stormwind issued too much public debt, which led to a financial crisis, so the regent Boval immediately shrank his line of defense to save money after taking over the regime and seeing the financial statements, do you believe it?
Tolina said, "Michaela, I don't think John the Guard will believe it."
Well, I know.
So Michaela didn't say anything, just smiled awkwardly but politely, and said, "John, I'm also a member of the tribe, so you don't have a problem with me and Panthou like this?"
"Hey, hey."
Guard John laughed dryly and said, "Michaela, you are different from those Blackstone Orcs, otherwise they wouldn't have caught you. Also, are there any factions in your tribe? Why did I hear the Blackstone Orc Overseer say that they are not the same tribe as you?"
"I guess that's it."
Michaela paused for a few seconds and organized a language: "The Blackstone Orcs and the Dragonthroat Orcs in the north are the remnants of the invading army of the old tribes, and the tribe that our blood elves have joined is a new tribe led by Thrall, and those old tribes are not the same faction."
Since the Alliance has been an enemy of the Horde for a long time, many Alliance members will involuntarily open the film after seeing the tribe members, and there are very few rational people like Guard John who ask about the situation first, and Michaela is also willing to popularize science to him.
"I see, I see."
Guard John nodded, "No wonder I've heard from the Night Elves that the orc tribes also participated in the battle of Mount Hyjal to defend Azeroth, and if it were those savage old tribes, it would never have been possible."
"Great Chief
The new tribe led by Changsar is no longer the original invader, and the orcs have indeed been used by demons in the past, but there are good people among them."
Michaela smiled and said, "John, I think you're a good person, so I'll give you a little more news."
"Oh!"
Guard John listened attentively.
Michaela took the opportunity to say, "The war in the Arathi Basin, the Stormwind Kingdom has already given a plan, and if there is no accident, it will be properly handled in two months; As for the Blackstone Orcs of the Burning Plains, in fact, the Great Chief Thrall can't get used to them, and soon the warriors of the tribe will kill them."
Torina jumped out and explained, "This is not Michaela talking nonsense, the chief of the Blackstone Orcs, Red-Black Hand, is Thrall's father-killer.
The two sides have a bitter enmity."
Hearing the above two news, the situation of the first Arashi is easy to understand, but the second news, the tribal warriors will deal with the Blackstone Orcs, that really shocked the guard John.
"Really?" Guard John stared at Michaela, if the tribal warriors can really solve the Blackstone Orcs, then they can help Lakeside Town solve a *** annoyance.
Michaela laughed at this.
At this time, Celestein and the others came to the rooftop.
"Michaela, is this yours?"
I saw Celestine stretch out his right hand and hand over a pocket, which was the demonic spirit cloth bag that Michaela had taken away.
"Yes, it's mine."
Michaela immediately took her pocket, and while she hung it back on her waist, she took out two documents to prove her identity, one for the tribal ambassador with the seal from Gianna and the other for the regent
Bergvar's pass to Michaela with the regency's stamp on it.
The other people present, whether it was the Alliance adventurers represented by Celestine or the guard John, they were all low-level civilians in the Stormwind Kingdom, and they had never seen the seals of the big names of the kingdom, and they all shouted.
Guard John: "Wow!"
Belisarius-Kaul: "Oh!"
Katarina-Greyfax: "Ah!"
Evelene: "Hmm!"
Cato-Sicarius: "Oh!"
As for Selestin, she looked at Michaela with even more respect: "Ambassador Michaela, I didn't expect you to be a nobleman."
As a civilian, Celestine takes it for granted that Michaela is noble, but whether it is canonized as a human in the previous life or Michaela as the blood spirit of Silvermoon City in this life, he was born as a civilian.
"I'm sorry, Celestein, I'm not a nobleman, I'm a commoner like you."
Therefore, Michaela's life experience made Michaela feel: "Don't be blinded by blood, the value of life is not determined by blood, but by yourself."
In a feudal kingdom world like Azeroth, Michaela's words directly affected everyone present, especially Celestein's three views.
Isn't the world divided by blood?
It turns out that civilians can also realize value on their own!
At this moment, Celestine's eyes looked at Michaela with more and more respect, and even overlapped Michaela and the mysterious golden figure of that night again, feeling the warmth of that time......
Damn, what was I thinking!
Celestine shook his head and threw the distractions out of his brain, Michaela wasn't, wasn't......
Wait a minute
, isn't he really the golden figure of that night?
Why did I always feel that he looked familiar, as if we had met honestly together, and Celestein's eyes unconsciously refocused on Michaela.
"She's looking at you again."
Torina immediately noticed Celestine's eyes and said to Michaela, "What did you kid do to her that day to make Celestine look at you like this?"
"I don't know!"
Michaela argued, "It was Melina's all-out charm that day, and I didn't even know what I had done because I had been tricked."
Not to mention, Michaela really didn't shirk her responsibility, Tolina covered her face with her hands the whole night because she was too shy to see anything, and when she went to look through Michaela's memory files, she found that the content was blurry, and she could only confirm that Michaela must be with Selesteen, but what exactly did the two of them do......
"Looks like I'll have to ask Melina." Torina said.
On the other side, Cato Sicarius carried a large box of equipment to the guard John, and said, "I, Cato Sicarius found these."
Guard John stepped forward to see that the wooden box was stuffed with the guard's armor and a number of guard-style swords, which were obviously the legacy of the guards of the Stone Fort Fortress, and his original equipment may not be recovered.
"At least it works."
Guard John wasn't fussy either, digging out a set of clean-looking liners from the box and putting them on his body, then putting on his armor and picking up his sword, the Lakeside guard finally looked like one.
"Alright."
When he had finished dressing, John the guard said, "Let us go back to Soloh
Mayor Gate, go back to life."
"Hmm."
Just as the adventurers were about to return to Lakeside Town, a force of four hundred Black Stone Orcs suddenly appeared on the northwest side of the Stone Fort Fortress, and they were rushing towards the Stone Fort Fortress, and it was estimated that it would take about an hour.
"Damn."
Greyfax shouted, "Orc reinforcements are coming, and it's just at this time!"
As the leader of the squad, Celestine immediately ordered, "Prepare for battle."
Hey?
Fight?
Just a few of them?
Why didn't they run away?
"The answer is that you can't run!"
Torina jumped out and explained, "The Stone Castle Fortress is located to the east of Lakeside, so if they want to return to Lakeside or follow the road to the west, they will definitely run into that orc reinforcement."
"What? Circumnavigating the lake from the east, or taking the road to the south? I'm sorry, but I can't!"
Tolina shook her finger, "The east side of the Stone Castle Fortress is the territory of the gnolls, and there are also gnolls to the south, so it's not an easy way to go."
Celestine, who was also aware of the above situation, immediately decided: "We can rely on the defense of the Stone Fort itself, and since the opponent is not particularly numerous, we can go back alive."
Everyone except Michaela, including John the Guard, shouted "yes" in unison, knowing full well that this battle was inevitable and that they could only live to the death.
As for Michaela, he looked at them calmly and did not speak, but Torina was extremely excited:
"Michaela, just that little black stone orc is not enough for you to stuff your teeth, what are you going to do? Let me summon the player, or do it yourself, or summon the Demon Guardian Hanna
Mar?"
With Michaela's current strength, those blackstone orcs are indeed not enough to fight. But Michaela was not in a hurry to show her strength, on the contrary, because of the incident just now, Michaela had a trace of interest in Selestin.
What kind of vision did Melina make this human woman see that day, so that she could come out of the cold and lonely feeling she felt at the beginning and become what she is now?
However, after only half an hour, the above thoughts were completely dispelled from Michaela's mind, because:
"This fortress is leaking on all sides, and even the walls of the city have broken a large part!"
Celestine looked at the dilapidated stone fortress in front of him, and said with a solemn face, "We have no terrain to defend!"
Hehe.
Michaela also saw that after the Blackstone Orcs laid down the Stone Fortress, they had not repaired it at all, resulting in the fortress's city defense advantage being completely lost.
"There are many enemies with few, and there is no terrain to defend."
Tolina also made a statement to summarize the situation:
"It's over, how can this win!"
