Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 462: Restoration
Chapter 462 - Restoration
Damn it!
It turns out that we have been tossing and turning for most of the time, only to flirt with a blind man. It was all in vain! ?
Anduin and Llane's mouths were wide open enough for a large apple to fit into.
When they sneaked over with the plan, they saw Duke dozing off. In fact, they also wanted to comfort Duke. After all, when it comes to politics, many old politicians who have been in the game for decades may also suffer a setback before retirement.
Duke's influence is already too great. Although it cannot be said that the league is suppressing it, the kings have begun to intentionally or unintentionally downplay the influence of Duke.
After all, in the eyes of the kings, it was still unknown whether the alliance would continue to exist after the Horde was defeated. By then, all their own soldiers would worship the heroes of others, and they would have no place to cry.
When faced with such a relatively safe operation, everyone intentionally or unintentionally excluded Duke from the operation.
Well, if you don't take Duke to play, Duke will still look down on you.
Everyone knows that the Red Dragonflight is a foul force. It can be said that if the dragon army beyond the mortal world really wants to help one side with all its strength, the other side will hardly have to fight.
Terenas had tried to contact the Red Dragonflight, but he couldn't find a way. Antonidas knew the true identity of Krasus, and when he tried to contact him in private, Krasus rejected him sternly.
"For thousands of years, the Red Dragonflight has upheld the principle of not casually intervening in wars of other races. Unless there is a major crisis that threatens the entire world, the Red Dragonflight will not take action."
Since no one mentioned it, everyone tacitly excluded the Red Dragonflight from consideration when thinking about strategy and tactics.
Well, everyone here thought that the red dragons would not participate in the battle, but Duke said that the Red Dragonflight could be used as a backup! ?
At this moment, Anduin and Lion were both confused.
Duke, who was still yawning and very sleepy, whispered, "Just because the Red Dragonflight doesn't participate in the war in the mortal world, doesn't that mean they won't allow the dragons below to seek revenge on their archenemy?"
The two Stormwind bosses had really interesting expressions on their faces.
Damn, isn't this just like the officials being allowed to set fires but not allowing the common people to light lamps?
Is there any violation of principles?
No! The Red Dragonflight did not directly participate in the war.
But our queen has been tortured by the Horde for so long, it's okay to seek some personal revenge, right?
When the boss Alexstrasza secretly spread the word, wouldn't the queen's admirers rush over to Duke's side and obey his orders?
The list Duke secretly showed to Llane and Anduin almost blinded their eyes. There were as many as 10 ancient dragons ready to serve, and hundreds of young dragons at the millennium level.
And they all only listen to Duke and the orders of their Stormwind!
Well, with such a group of inhumane dragons in front of them, if the Alliance still can't defeat the mere hundreds of thousands of demoralized tribes, then all these people in the Alliance should just jump into the Endless Sea and drown themselves.
Anduin patted Duke's shoulder and said, "Then you should have a good rest these days. We will see you at the celebration party."
"Um."
This battle was fought without any suspense.
It has to be said that if Duke had not appeared in this life, Anduin Lothar would undoubtedly be the most brilliant military strategist of this era.
Within three days, the 5,000-man commando led by Anduin withstood a total of 182 joint attacks from 100,000 orcs in the north and 5,000 orcs in the south, and was firmly pinned on the Thandol Bridge, leaving Duke's Red Dragonflight no chance to attack.
When Mograine arrived with his army, everything was decided.
On September 18, 2nd year of the Dark Gate, the once-occupied Arathi Highlands was completely recaptured. The flag of the Kingdom of Stromgarde was once again raised on the ruins of Stromgarde.
On September 25, the northernmost wetland area of the southern continent was liberated.
On October 10, after being besieged for more than a year, although Ironforge had never run out of ammunition and food, it was already in an extremely miserable state, but was finally relieved.
At one point, the orcs gathered a group of 100,000 orcs and laborers, attempting to use tight fortifications to block the Alliance's advance.
This method of fighting in a group of bunkers, which was learned from humans, once caused great trouble to the Alliance. More than 20,000 Alliance soldiers were shot dead by trolls' javelins in front of the bunkers.
However, with the seemingly nonsensical entry of the Red Dragonflight, all the tribal bunkers and arrow towers became toy-like rubbish.
The arrow tower is awesome, right? The dragon flew away with one shot.
It's fun to shoot arrows from behind in a bunker, right? Come, the Red Dragon flamethrower will teach you a lesson.
Under the crushing of completely asymmetric force, the Horde quickly collapsed.
On October 16, under the joint cover of the Kul Tiras and Stormwind fleets, 150,000 allied forces from the two countries landed in Stormwind City and the northern coast of Westeros in two routes.
When the Alliance opened up the second battlefield, it also officially announced that the Stormwind's war to restore its sovereignty had begun.
Originally, King Daelin thought that this would be a very difficult landing battle. He even went on the beach in Stormwind Harbor with Llane himself. He mobilized 10,000 sailors from Kul Tiras who were best at landing battles, but did not encounter too fierce resistance.
The clan stationed in Stormwind City was a second-rate clan with only 30,000 people, and less than 20,000 combat soldiers. After nearly 10,000 casualties in the street fighting, Stormwind City was recovered.
The next issue became logistics. Looking at Stormwind City, which had been reduced to rubble after the second war, Daelin frowned deeply. When he asked Llane about food, Llane smiled.
"I'm sorry, my good friend, I have kept this secret from you until now. In fact, over the past year, even a lot of Hillsbrad's food was provided by the Westfall. We have already arranged a guerrilla force of nearly 10,000 people behind enemy lines. While they are fighting the orcs, they also ensure the food supply this time. It can be said that even if no grain is transported to us later, we can survive this winter."
Daelin was dumbfounded.
With sufficient logistical supplies, Stormwind's restoration army advanced extremely quickly. By October 30, except for the Redridge Mountains, Stormwind had already recovered its entire territory. It was a pity that several second-rate clans transferred from the Dark Portal by the Horde were engaged in a desperate tug-of-war with Stormwind in the mountains.
At this time, the Alliance's northern Road, including the newly joined dwarf kingdom of Gnomeregan, a total of nine kingdoms, with a total of 300,000 troops, pushed the battle line to the Burning Plains in the future. In Blackrock Spire, Orgrim gathered the last of the Horde's troops.
One hundred and fifty thousand warriors and one hundred thousand orc laborers.
Both sides knew that Blackrock Spire would be the final place where they would fight each other.
On November 1, the Horde sent an envoy and requested a decisive battle.
"Five days from now, under Blackrock Spire, let us decide the fate of the Horde and the Alliance."
