Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 369: Latest News

Whose tears are flying?

Whose applause is that?

For the citizens of Lordaeron who claim to be the best in the world, yesterday was definitely the most anxious day.

I once thought that war was so far away.

The nobles continued to sing and dance. There were still hundreds of banquets and dances of all sizes every month. The great nobles held masquerade balls for thousands of people and provided banquets with hundreds of desserts.

The nobles' comfortable thoughts were passed down from generation to generation.

People also enjoy this peace and prosperity very naturally.

Yesterday, everything changed.

The savage and brutal orcs broke through the defenses, crossed the snowy mountains, and directly killed their way into the city. Even though most of the orcs were killed on the city walls, a small number of orcs still broke through the defenses and reached the city to kill.

The strongest troops in Lordaeron were deployed to the city walls, and the task of eliminating the orcs had to be handed over to the city guards. These city guards, who had not received strict military training, were usually good at dealing with hooligans and ruffians, but they were not enough to face the only elite troops of the Blackrock Clan.

The final count of the orcs that broke into the city was 68.

These 68 people caused nearly 5,000 casualties. On average, each orc killed two dozen or more city guards and caused more than three dozen civilian casualties.

Almost every family in the entire DC area has a funeral.

Lordaeron was in a panic, and even though more than 30,000 Alliance troops were stationed behind them, a large number of citizens and nobles woke up from nightmares throughout the night. One guy even had a nightmare and shouted "Orcs are coming", which actually caused a chain of panic escape, resulting in more than a hundred casualties in the trampling of each other.

It was not until Duke had Arthas order the activation of magical lighting throughout the city of Lordaeron, illuminating it as bright as day, and repeatedly had the Lordaeron soldiers sing the Lordaeron military song while patrolling, that the timid citizens of Lordaeron felt slightly reassured.

In this way, the people of Lordaeron welcomed the 8,000 cavalry of Lord Mograine the next day. Then two days later, they waited for the exhausted King Terenas to lead the main force to return for support.

Although they were forced to return to the city to provide assistance, Terenas and his infantry received a welcome like a hero's triumphant return. Almost every citizen gathered at the west gate, welcoming the return of their own army with the warmest and most sincere cheers.

This was not a triumph worth boasting about. All the people wanted was a sense of security. Terenas had no intention of dealing with the enthusiastic people. He hurried back to the palace. There, Duke, the deputy commander of the Alliance, Admiral Llane, Admiral Thoras, Admiral Kurdran, and Major General Haas had been waiting for a long time.

Terenas did not act like a leader, but bowed to Duke, Llane and other kings according to the rules of the alliance.

"I am very grateful to the Deputy Commander, the three admirals, and all the allies for rescuing the city of Lordaeron. Without your assistance, Lordaeron would be nailed to the pillar of shame forever." Terenas was serious. If it weren't for Duke's mobilization of troops, he would now be a lost dog.

"Alliance leader, you are too polite. Didn't we form the alliance in order to help each other today? If we can't work together, whether we are humans, dwarves, or elves, we will all be slaughtered by the Horde and may not even be qualified to become slaves." Duke was also very polite.

The kings also exchanged greetings.

After the necessary courtesies, Terenas said in no uncertain terms, "Okay, let me get straight to the point. Although I also believe that an army of nearly 300,000 is needed to ensure that Lordaeron will not be captured by the Horde, the fact is that Lordaeron does not have the food needed to sustain 300,000 soldiers and nearly 400,000 civilians to defend the city for a long time. Lordaeron has always provided food, weapons, and soldiers to various countries. Now it is Lordaeron's turn to need support from various countries."

He spread out his hands and asked for money, food, soldiers, and everything. freёnovelkiss.com

The leaders of various countries suddenly felt bitter.

The Wildhammer dwarves hardly ever farm. They lead a half-farming and half-herding life, usually letting their griffins fly around the mountains and catch food for themselves.

Thoras's Arathi Highlands had just been plowed by locusts from the Horde. If he hadn't seen that there was no need for cavalry to defend Stromgarde, he wouldn't have sent out any troops.

Alterac was raided less than a week ago, and there's barely a blade of grass left.

After going around in circles, it turns out that the relatively stable Dalaran is the richest among all the countries, followed by Stormwind Kingdom, the refugee country more than a year ago. The bumper harvest of summer grain in Hillsbrad Foothills can be hidden from everyone, but unfortunately, Stormwind Kingdom itself has hundreds of thousands of mouths to feed.

As soon as Terenas opened his mouth, the atmosphere suddenly became silent.

Fortunately, everyone can keep silent, except Duke. The Alliance and the Horde have been fighting for so long that everyone has unknowingly gotten used to Duke being the real leader.

Scheduling and coordination are the responsibility of Duke.

The logistics and magic areas are under Duke's jurisdiction.

Even the command of most of the country's military forces and even the recruitment of new members were under Duke's control.

If Lothar had not been busy dealing with the western battlefield, the front there also had troops from the three countries of Lordaeron, Gilneas, and Dalaran, and everyone almost forgot that Lothar was the commander-in-chief.

Facing the gazes of the kings, Duke looked calm and composed.

"Who said we have to fight a long and protracted battle to defend the city? Why can't we be more optimistic? Now is a good time for us to wipe out the main force of the Horde!"

When these words were spoken, all the bigwigs were stunned.

Their thinking really couldn't keep up with Duke's pace. Aren't the Hordes invincible now? Didn't you see that the Hordes were advancing unstoppable?

The flames of war have spread across the entire northern continent. In the eyes of the kings, there is no safe place on the entire continent. From the southernmost Arathi Highlands to the northernmost Eversong Woods, from the westernmost South Coast to the easternmost Hinterlands, the Horde can be seen everywhere.

Even though the Alliance gained the upper hand on the Western Front, it was unable to do anything about the remaining 100,000 tribes.

We just lost the capital of Alterac, and now Duke says he can wipe out the main force of the Horde?

If it were Duke a year ago, it would have to face endless doubts and even ridicule. Duke now...

Thoras smiled, Llane smiled, Kurdran smiled, and almost all the kings fighting on the Eastern Front looked at Duke kindly. Everyone waited in a relaxed mood for Duke to give the answer that everyone had been waiting for.

To be honest, Terenas was very nervous just now. In order to gain the position of leader, Lordaeron paid a lot, but he was not sure whether his and the country's efforts would be rewarded in a critical moment. Now it seems that the countries of the alliance are not only reliable under Duke's coordination, but can also give him enough surprises.

Duke smiled and opened a real-time video of a magic transmission: "The latest news is that Gul'dan betrayed Orgrim."
