Chapter 283 13. Collapse --- Add more for the brothers who donate [2630]

Although Thrall looks like an orc on the surface, it doesn't mean he is a fool.

Please remember that Thrall was raised by General Blackmoore, and the general himself was a real conspirator. Although he died prematurely due to some accidents, his education for Thrall was completely based on He also expected Thrall to become the king of orcs, serve him, and conquer the whole world for him.

And Thrall did not disappoint General Blackmoore. At the age of 6, he had finished reading General History of the Arathor Empire, History of Lordaeron and other books on the structure of human government, and had a full-time history teacher to teach him About the history of human civilization.

He definitely understands humans better than 99% of orcs, and is wiser.

So after Elder Drek'Thar and Orgrim explained the situation to him, Thrall only thought for a night before agreeing to their request.

On the one hand, Thrall is peaceful by nature, and he really hates war. If he could end the war by himself, he would do so. So happy, he also has his own depression in his heart.

The appearance of an orc and the soul of a human make Thrall a freak who is incompatible with the two races, especially after entering the Frostwolf clan and getting along with those real orcs, Thrall found that his compatriots, In fact, it was not like what he thought, only knowing destruction and destruction, which made him find some sense of belonging in the Frostwolf clan.

The old shaman's proposal seemed dangerous, but in fact, Thrall felt that this was an opportunity for him to completely get rid of the troubles of the past. He might be able to become a real orc from now on, and most importantly, when he After making the sacrifice, those members of the Frostwolf Clan who were very unfriendly to him would also recognize him.

Finally, and most importantly...

Thrall has been familiar with every important node in human history, and he is very clear that human aristocrats have a special stubbornness in certain aspects, especially in the war between the two sides, in order to show their civilization and nobility, they almost There has never been a precedent for killing an envoy, and they have not executed Orgrim before. From this point of view, he and Orgrim went to Lordaeron to be an envoy, which is actually not as dangerous as other orcs imagined. .

But now is not the time to think about it.

Thrall was riding on the back of a war wolf, his own Frostwolf Snow Song, this little wolf cub he picked up in Alterac Valley was following him closely, they followed the warriors of the Frostwolf Clan They galloped in the night of the Arathi Highlands, this will be Thrall's first battle, as orcs, to liberate those fellow prisoners who were imprisoned.

This is also the first step in the orc's summation plan...to use the threat of all-out war to obtain the peace that both sides need.

And on the same night, when General Danas Trollbane stood at the top of the largest prisoner-of-war camp in Arathi Highlands, overlooking the plains of the night, those orcs rushing from all directions made him return to the place in a trance. During the Second World War, the recruits standing beside the general were even more nervous and trembling all over.

They're united!

Danas clenched his fists:

The orcs are united again, and they're going to start a big war! These damn bastards... pass the news back to Stromgarde! Tell Lordaeron, if they don't support...

Arathi Highlands is over.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————

I knew that being called up by you at night must mean nothing good.

King Terenas Menethil, with a hint of getting up, was supported by his guards and sat on his seat. In front of him was General Gatherlis, who came from the Tirisfal region in a hurry. The chief military officer is also one of the old king's most trusted subordinates.

The old king took the wine handed over by the guard, took a sip, and then waved to Gathelis:

Tell me, what happened?

The orcs are attacking Arathi Highlands.

The general said in a deep voice:

They have reunited, and they are no longer just Warsong. According to the information sent back by General Danas, the two clans of Thunder King also include the Shattered Hand clan active in the barren land, and some remnants of the Dragonmaw clan. Most importantly The strange thing is that there is a clan that has never appeared before, they have the sign of giant wolves, and they are very powerful in combat, they should be those frost wolf orcs hiding in Alterac Valley.

Hearing that the orcs were united again, the old king's drowsiness dissipated in an instant. He looked at Gathelis and asked in a deep voice:

How many people are there?

Including those released captives, at least 40,000 people!

General Gaslis said worriedly:

There is also news from the Stormwind Kingdom through Dalaran. The Blackstone clan in the Burning Plains and the Blood Ring orcs in Stranglethorn Vale have also begun to move towards the shelter in the Stormwind Kingdom. There is no doubt that this is a long-planned war. joint action.

It took three days for the orcs to assemble their army, and the current situation has undoubtedly exceeded the limit that the Arathi Highlands can bear. It is difficult for the cavalry of the Kingdom of Stormgard to fight against this number of orcs. We must Support them!

We'll talk about support later.

The old king narrowed his eyes: I want to know more, who is commanding those orcs? Or that reckless Grommash?

No! Worse than that.

The general clenched his fists and said a name that the old king hated the most: It's Orgrim. General Danas saw him on the battlefield. He stood with the orcs of the Frostwolf clan.

I knew it!

At this moment, the old king lost his composure and smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground. Amid the crisp sound of glass breaking, the surrounding royal servants were all shocked.

Trouble one after another, as soon as Jin abandoned us, the orcs started to make trouble, and Lothar, who came back from the dead, took my son. What can an 8-year-old prince do for him? And the border is spreading. That lycanthropy, hell, hell!

boom

The old king's fist hit the armrest of the throne. After venting his anger, he leaned tiredly on the cold throne. His shortness of breath showed that the old king's heart was not at peace at this time.

And Gathelis stood silently on the side. As a close minister of the king, he knew very well that King Terenas was indeed overwhelmed by a series of problems that suddenly occurred recently, especially the alliance of the five kingdoms Anduin Lothar forced the palace. This incident put the old king in a very embarrassing situation.

As the most powerful kingdom in the human alliance, Lordaeron suffered heavy losses in the orc war, but after the war, it always appeared as the leader of the alliance. The old king used power to suppress other countries, trying to ensure Lordaeron is becoming stronger and stronger in the reconstruction of the ruins, which is the most normal choice for the king.

But the problem is that other kings seem unwilling to accompany King Terenas to play this noble game, not to mention the Kingdom of Stormwind, which is far away, the elves of Quel'Thalas expressed In addition to their dissatisfaction with this matter, then Gilneas, Genn Greymane is also a master of tactics, he is unwilling to let his country become the foil of Lordaeron.

And the most terrible thing is that when the dark tide was surging, Marshal Anduin Lothar, who had been missing for several years, suddenly appeared and brought back a crazy plan. He wanted to rebuild the Arathor Empire, which sounds like a fantasy , but there are already 5 countries on his side, and the attitude of the neutral city-state of Dalaran is still very ambiguous... So the current situation is that Lordaeron is alone against other countries that are united.

Lothar's attitude was tough, he ignored the old king's tactful refusal, and went straight to find Prince Alsace Menethil, and let the prince join the luxurious Prince Group behind him without any effort, and started a new journey. A sword-seeking adventure in the depths of the Tirisfal Mountains, and once Lothar, with the help of the princes, retrieved the saber that was lost by the ancestor Thoradin the Great and represented the status of the human emperor, it would mean that the empire was rebuilt. Things will no longer be blocked.

This face-tearing attitude has already made the old king feel a kind of powerlessness and threat, which does not conform to the rules of the game among the nobles at all, but unfortunately, he is the only one who is still sitting at the poker table, and he will continue to It is also impossible to use power to influence other people.

Just at this time, the orcs launched a war again.

Frankly speaking, Gatheri began to wonder if Lothar was in secret connection with the orcs, because the time when the orcs launched the war was too fatal and too coincidental. Facing the threat of orcs again, human civilization will surely reunite. But the problem is that this time, they will no longer unite around King Terenas of Lordaeron, but will unite under the banner of the rebuilt Arathor Empire.

Any insightful person can now see that the era of the great division of human civilization lasted for 3,000 years and is finally coming to an end.

But this is not good news for Lordaeron.

They must have a conspiracy!

King Terenas gritted his teeth and said: This is not normal! They are threatening us, and the Kingdom of Lordaeron will be the only victim of this conspiracy. I want to convene the king's council immediately! I want to ask clearly!

But Your Majesty!

General Gathelis hurriedly said:

That's not the most important thing at the moment, orcs. Once the orcs break through all the prisoner-of-war camps between the Arathi Highlands and the Hills, their numbers swell to 70,000... The kingdom of Alterac is in chaos, and we have not Failed to restore order, once the orcs enter the hills, we will have no danger!

The royal city of Lordaeron will be besieged again. To make matters worse, it will be difficult for us to find reinforcements...I know this is hard to accept, but Your Majesty, it is time to make a decision!

This is the most important thing! Gaselis, don't you understand?

The voice of the old king also became fierce:

The allies who once stood by our side and fought against the orcs have already stood on the side of Lothar. The traitors sit by and watch us fall into a predicament. They are using this method to force me to bow my head and join that unjustified empire. They're trying to reduce my power, reduce...

But didn't you force them!

General Gaselis, who had seen the threat posed by the orcs, couldn't stand it anymore. The old king's concerns were not at all important, which made him extremely disappointed. At this moment, for the first time, he broke through the restrictions of his subjects and the king. , a fire of anger burned in his heart, he took a step back, and shouted to the king in a very unseemly way:

You drove Gilneas out of the alliance with your own hands! Wasn't it because they disobeyed your orders?

You hate the high elves and make things difficult for them, isn't it because they are closer to Lothar than to you?

You restrict the reconstruction of Dalaran, and you are even unwilling to send workers, isn't it because the mages in Dalaran despise the kingship?

Even Stormgard, Warsong and the Thunder King clan have besieged Arathi Highlands for more than a month. Letters of help were sent to Lordaeron City one after another, but you only sent 2,000 people!

Those eloquent treacherous ministers encouraged you to swallow the whole of Alterac, what a stupid act! Even Kul Tiras, which doesn't need to divide the land at all, can't stand it anymore! You are still enjoying it!

This is war! War! My lord, this is not a problem that you can solve with tactics and negotiations! From the end of the second orc war to now, every decision you have made is wrong! The division of the alliance is Because other countries have all kinds of demands, which is fine, but isn't there a little bit of reason because of your arbitrariness?

Lordaeron is not the Arathor Empire. You don't have the blood of Emperor Thoradin flowing in your body. Why do you ask other kingdoms to support Lordaeron as if they were vassals! Who gave you the ecstasy soup!

The general's breathing became heavy, he looked at his king disappointedly, he shook his head:

Lothar's persuasion is correct. A divided alliance cannot resist all of this. Only when the empire is rebuilt, and only when humans stand under the same banner, can we truly become stronger, instead of playing games of internal friction all the time, he is Yes, and you, you were a wise king, but now, you are wrong! The reason why you oppose the reconstruction of the Arathor Empire is not because you can't see those advantages, you are just jealous of the person who rebuilds the empire is not You, but Lothar.

kuang

The general threw his shoulder armor on the floor of the hall, and he bowed to the old king for the last time:

If you don't want to make any decision, I will go to the Arathi Highlands to support Stormgard. The game of nobles should not be at the cost of civilian casualties, and I don't want to see Lordaeron again. Besieged by orcs.

Good luck, my lord.

After finishing speaking, General Gaselis turned around and strode out of the palace. The royal guards didn't dare to stop him, and they had no reason to stop him. Behind him, the scolded King Terenas sat on his throne in a daze , his thinking was a little confused, he didn't know how to deal with the matter in front of him.

And outside the palace, the moment Gathelis walked out of the gate, he saw the heavily armed knights, Uther, Fording and Dathrohan, and they waved to him. Appearing here has already proved their attitude.

Kings think like kings, but now... it's time for the Warriors to play.
