Crossing the Other World: My Warcraft System

Chapter 223 Stormwind City Countdown

Ryan hurried to Nanhai Town for an inspection. Seeing the people living in other people's homes, his eyes became moist. Then he returned to Stormwind City.

In fact, the refugees from Stormwind Kingdom lived quite well in South Sea Town. At least they were not hungry. Bolvar, as the main person in charge here, led a militia composed of young and strong men, as well as Stormwind City and some noble private armies to maintain law and order.

At the same time, he also controls the restoration reserve funds brought from Stormwind City. This is the last asset of the Stormwind Kingdom treasury given to him by Llane before departure and the previous accumulation of the Royal Family of Wrynn.

After recovering from his serious injuries, Bolvar was baptized by Galinrad in Goldshire and officially became a paladin. This is one of the reasons why he recovered quickly after being seriously injured.

He also proved himself in the war and won the trust of Llane and Lothar. At this time, he had already become the second-in-command of the Storm Kingdom military.

The news that Storm Kingdom was about to be defeated had already spread throughout the countries, but people had previously treated this news as gossip and few people really took it seriously. It was not until 400,000 Storm refugees poured into the Hillsbrad region that the top leaders of human countries began to pay attention to who could defeat the powerful Storm Kingdom.

The ones who really took action were Stromgarde and the Kingdom of Kul Tiras. Their support troops were already on the front line of Stormwind City, and Terenas of Lordaeron provided a large amount of food and tents in order to demonstrate the demeanor of the world's strongest country.

Moreover, Terenas, who has a keen political sense, has begun sending out envoys to inquire about the latest intelligence and test the attitudes of various kings and lords.

The war situation in the south changed quickly. With the help of the information left by Garona, Orgrim captured a large number of members of the Shadow Council. In order to vent his anger, Orgrim executed most of them, leaving only Gul'dan and Cho'gall.

And Teron'gor, whom Garin had always wanted to take, was also killed by Orgrim, which made Garin feel sorry for a long time. Maybe the next time he sees Teron again, he will have become the first generation Death Knight leader.

Not long after Garen issued the recruitment order, the defense line of Goldshire was breached. It was not because Lothar and Llane were not strong enough, but because there were too many orcs. As a military barrier of Stormwind, Goldshire was actually unqualified.

The reason was that he had no strategic location to defend, with only low hills all around, and the orcs were good at crossing mountains and ridges. Orgrim only directly deployed 100,000 troops, who advanced layer by layer under the firepower of catapults. Even fifty outposts could not stop the green tide of the orcs.

After more than half of the defenders of Goldshire were killed or wounded, Gavinrad led a breakout and returned to Stormwind with the help of Aragorn and Lothar.

The fall of Goldshire foreshadows the countdown to Stormwind's demise. Lothar also understands that even with an army of 100,000, it would be difficult to defend the isolated city of Stormwind.

Stormwind City was built by our ancestors in the valley northwest of Elwynn Forest. Losing Goldshire means that the road has been blocked by others. If the fighting continues, the last spark of Stormwind City may be extinguished.

Of the last 50,000 regular troops, more than 10,000 died in Shining Gold Town, and the only truly elite troops left were half of the Lion Legion and an Iron Horse Brotherhood. The remaining 20,000 people could only be considered regular troops, only slightly stronger than the reserve forces.

Before, Garin persuaded Lion and Lothar to run away. After all, if you save the land and lose the people, you will lose both the land and the people; if you save the people and lose the land, you will gain both the land and the people. This is a truth that every Chinese citizen understands. If Garin had run away earlier, he would have tried everything and realized that one person could not do it. Why didn't he retreat quickly and wait for his teammates to come and fight him?

But they didn't listen and wanted to try to rely on Goldshire to take back the territory of Elwynn Forest. Garen also knew that Elwynn Forest was the most essential part of Stormwind Kingdom. A large number of nobles had lost their territories, so they put pressure on the royal family to take back their territories.

As a feudal kingdom based on aristocracy, Ryan could not ignore the nobles' request, otherwise the kingdom might disintegrate in the next moment without the orcs continuing to attack.

Now the people have evacuated, the cowardly nobles have also fled, and the remaining hawkish nobles have tried everything and given up hope. It is time to consider escaping.

"Your Majesty Ryan!"

Aragorn spoke after hearing Llane and Lothar discussing retreating north.

"Sir Aragorn, please speak!"

Aragorn deeply impressed the Stormwind military with his excellent command ability and powerful legion support capabilities.

In order to support the army of Goldshire, Aragorn and Amor led 8,000 Red Flame Army to hold off a pursuing force of 10,000 orcs at Mirror Lake, and finally succeeded in cutting off their retreat with minimal losses themselves.

"My prince asked me if His Majesty Llane and Lord Lothar had decided to withdraw their troops, would they want to leave an intact Stormwind City to the orcs, or would they be willing to exchange Stormwind City for tens of thousands of orc troops?"

When Aragorn said this, Llane and Lothar were shocked, and Llane was obviously struggling!

This is a city that took several generations of Wrynn to build!

But on second thought, when he fights back in the future, he will face an intact Stormwind City during the siege, and the casualties will be his own soldiers. It would be better to follow Garen's suggestion and exchange an intact city for the orcs' manpower!

Ryan firmly believed that he would come back in the future and he had to prepare for a rainy day.

Llane was a wise and decisive king. After he figured out the relationship, he made up his mind that Stormwind City could be rebuilt even if it was destroyed, in exchange for the lives of a large number of greenskins. It was a good deal!

"I choose to exchange for the orcs' lives! Lord Aragorn, what should we do!"

Aragorn took out several magic backpacks, and then told Llane and Lothar: "Inside are the explosives specially made by the Alchemy Workshop of Stromgarde, as well as arcane bombs provided by the High Elf Kingdom. The quantity is enough to blow up the trade zone and the Valley of Heroes in Stormwind City!"

Hearing that it was only the trade zone and the front half of the city, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. He was also hoping for a lucky break. What if the second half of Stormwind didn't need much effort to rebuild? Wouldn't that save some money for restoring people's livelihood?

"I have no objection, let's discuss the evacuation plan!"

"agree!"

The final result of the discussion was that Lothar led the Iron Brotherhood and the Lion Legion to defend the walls of Stormwind, while Aragorn led the Red Army to set up explosives, and Llane led the remaining Stormwind troops to evacuate from the sea!

Lothar was responsible for luring the enemy deep into the city. After setting up the explosives, the Red Flame Army waited for Lothar to evacuate. When the large orc army entered Stormwind City, they detonated the explosives and set off the first fireworks in the history of Azeroth!

Originally, Ryan wanted to carry out Aragorn's follow-up mission and wanted Aragorn and his men to leave after placing the explosives. He didn't want too many friendly forces to suffer casualties. Stromgarde has done enough for Stormwind Kingdom!

But Aragorn insisted that King Llane evacuate first.

"Lord Aragorn! Please tell King Thoras and Prince Galen that the Royal Family of Wrynn once again promises that Stormwind Kingdom will help and support Stromgarde and will never leave!"
