Shadow Bear Tibbers’ Plane Journey

Stormwind City, now the capital city of the Kingdom of Stormwind, is in chaos. The streets, parks, and even some pergola are full of nobles from Irvine Forest, Westfall, Twilight Forest, and Redridge Mountains. The entourages, refugees, and city guards are constantly patrolling back and forth, trying to maintain order.

Those nobles or large ranchers and wealthy merchants who retreated from the Western Wilderness and returned to Stormwind more than a month ago easily found a good place for them to live in this spacious city, and did not cause much damage to the city. Many waves, the Defias Republic, is nothing more than an increase in the conversation of the citizens after dinner.

However, in the latter half of the month, after the noble refugees who fled to Stormwind from Twilight Forest, Southeast Redridge Mountains, and Irvine Forest, flocked into Stormwind. The city gradually began to become crowded and there was a bit of turmoil, and the vegetation was on the rise...

People began to worry, worried that Stormwind City would be captured by the Orcs or the Defias Republic again.

And the people of Stormwind Kingdom seem to be back to what they were 20 years ago... Those boundless orcs gushing out from the dark gate, at that time, when they were about to attack Stormwind City, they were many Everyone remembers: At that time, it seemed to be like this. The whole city was full of people, refugees from various places, everyone was trying to find a ship to escape... But now, the only difference is that That is, the nobles of Stormwind did not use sailboats to organize a large retreat. In fact, not only did they not have many ships on the dock, but more importantly, they seemed to have nowhere to go by sea!

They have already started a full-scale war with the northern continent of Lordaeron. Obviously, they cannot expect to retreat to Nanhai Town as they did 20 years ago, and there are places left for them to retreat, except Ironforge or Endless Sea. Outside of Theramore to the west, there are obviously not too many options.

However, the current situation is not as serious as that!

In Stormwind City, the mood of the people is fairly stable. The kingdom has not made much arrangements except allowing the people to freely take the subway that crosses the strait and half of the continent to take refuge in Ironforge according to their own conditions. . Because most of them, including King Varian, are confident that they can defend the city. Therefore, they are not as panic as those civilians or timid nobles do in anxious transfer of property and The family flees to Hearthglen.

"Everyone! Everyone knows the predicament that our Stormwind Kingdom is facing now. Then, let's talk about it now, what should we do now?!"

"So far, Vanessa Van Cleef, the bandit leader of the Defias Republic, she has led about 10,000 human soldiers from the Defias Republic plus about 20,000 ogres, goblins, trolls, wolves, and An army of more than 30,000 murlocs and other races is besieging the West Spring Fortress, the gateway to the south of Stormwind City!"

"The bridge across the river fell into the enemy's hands as early as three days ago, and now, the Grand Duke of Bolvarfurtagan is leading his troops to resist with the help of the West Spring Fortress. They currently have less than five thousand people, and a considerable part of them are Soldiers returning from the defeat in the Westfall, so if there is no support, I am afraid they will not last too long..."

At this point, King Varian’s expression dimmed a bit. The situation was too bad for their Stormwind Kingdom. He didn’t understand. Where did Defias Republic come from so much money to buy so much. Ogres, trolls, and goblins?

Could it be that death mines still produce gold? However, he had never heard of such a thing!

"And once we have the gateway to the south, once the West Spring Fortress falls, Mingjing Lake and Jinjin Town will become a smooth road, and there is no danger to defend! At that time, the enemy may not be able to directly fight the storm in ten days. Down the city!"

"Please believe me, the situation is worse than you and I can imagine!"

In the King’s Council of Stormwind Fortress, King Varian, who has the title of Ghost Wolf, is now standing in front of his own throne, the highest king of the Alliance, with piercing eyes looking at the kingdoms standing on both sides of the throne. High-level officers, military generals, nobles and council members plus the ambassador to Stormwind of the Wildhammer dwarves and night elves, etc.

Since the rebels of the Defias Republic began to break through the Irvine River defense line and encircle the West Spring Fortress, Varian has been in armor every day and is ready to face the battle at any time.

"Of course, this is only the war in the west! And we still have the west..."

"According to the battle report from the west: the warchief of the tribe who tore up the peace agreement without authorization, the orc Thrall, is leading the formation of the races of orcs, tauren, undead, wild boar, darkspear trolls, and a large number of Stranglethorn Vale trolls. The army of more than 20,000 tribes has completely captured the Twilight Forest. It is now at the intersection of the Elwynn Forest, the Twilight Forest and the Triangle Crossing at the junction of the Redridge Mountains and the Twelfth Army of the Storm Kingdom stationed in the Redridge Mountains under the command of our old General Todman. And part of the security garrison at the mountain tower in the eastern part of Elwynn Forest is fighting hard!"

"Although, under the excellent command of the old general Todman, the orcs are temporarily trapped in the south of the triangular intersection and cannot make any progress... However, according to the sentry reports, there are already many tribal trolls or orcs and other elites. The boat forcibly crossed the swift Irwin River, and appeared in Macron Farm, around the Azura Tower, and the outskirts of Golden Town!"

"And this is the real reason why so many people in Elwynn Forest rush into Stormwind City!"

"Up to now, although the front line is still maintained in the east and west of the Irvine Forest, the entire Irvine Forest area, except for the North County, which is protected by the city wall, is obviously not safe anymore... …"

After explaining the general situation, Varian sighed again imperceptibly.

If it were only the traitors of Defias Republic, their Stormwind Kingdom would be able to deal with it easily, but...It was just at this time that those **** orcs also jumped out to join in the fun, making them have to fight on both sides, and they have to fight on both sides. The Twelfth Legion rested on the Redridge Mountain, so that the battle in the West Spring Fortress became precarious.

"So, everyone! If you have any plans or good suggestions, just put them forward now!"

Finally, after finishing all the situation, Varian didn't go back and sit down. He just stood still and squinted slightly and scanned everyone underneath. Although, he himself knew that the guys who are staying in Stormwind could not give any good advice.

Now Bolvar is defending at West Spring Fortress, and the old Marshal Reginald is temporarily unable to return to the defense line in Nanhai Town of the Northern Expedition. General Todman’s Twelfth Army is dragged to the west by the orcs, plus the main coalition forces in the Outland... …It can be said that in Stormwind City, there is basically no one who can fight!

"Your Majesty, I want to know more about the 30,000 elite alliances that we withdrew from Nanhai Town to the north, where are they now, and when will they be able to reach Stormwind City smoothly?!"

At this time, a middle-aged man with black hair and black beard who was wearing luxurious clothes and the badge on his body seemed to be a duke came forward to ask.

"..."

"Marshal Reginald Windsor of our Northern Expedition, he has already transferred 30,000 elites from the Alliance and sailed southward on the third day after receiving the order from the Alliance Command and me... But now it is Driving against the wind, and our fleet is often harassed by those murlocs and naga, the speed may not be too fast..."

"So, if our judgment is correct, the fleet should have reached the waters southwest of Dun Morogh, and it is expected to appear within the sight of the lighthouse in Stormwind in the next eight to ten days!"

After watching the Duke Elroeblock who withdrew from the Twilight Forest and provided the orc attack information for a while, King Varian thought for a while, and truthfully told the approximate time when the reinforcements arrived.

Anyway, this matter is not a secret, most people here know it, I am afraid, the people of Defias Republic know it, right? Fortunately, they were a large fleet and were not afraid of Defias' interception.

"Why, Duke Elroeblock, are you not satisfied after abandoning your territory, Twilight Forest, and want to abandon Stormwind again?"

Before anyone else could speak, a Stormwind noble who seemed to be unkind with Duke Elroeblock came out first and sneered in a weird manner. Obviously, someone was very dissatisfied with the behavior of Duke Eberlock who lost the entire Twilight Forest without any resistance?

"Humph! It's obviously you fools who abandoned my Twilight Forest first!"

"Don't forget, back then, those idiots refused to fulfill the obligation of protecting the kingdom, arbitrarily rejected my request for help, and let most of our farms in the Twilight Forest fall into the hands of the undead! If it weren't mine The night watch force is forcibly supporting it. I am afraid that my night town could not be kept a few years ago!"

"Now, I only have the militia with less than a thousand night watchmen. In addition to organizing the people to retreat in time, what do you want me to do with tens of thousands of evil tribal beasts? It depends on you. The waste of staying in Stormwind?!"

When the grumpy Duke Elroeblock heard the other party's words, he directly protested loudly and angrily. He has never dealt with the nobles in Stormwind. Otherwise, he would not live here, but guard the increasingly difficult night town and guard the territory of the twilight forest!

However, when the Horde's army slew from Stranglethorn Vale to the Twilight Forest in the south, he even lost his last realm, Nightlight Town...

"Oh? But as far as I know... you have asked your daughter, Altea Eberlock, the commander of the night watchman, to sneak some of the money on the subway to Hearthglen?"

At this moment, another member of the Stormwind council came out with a sneer and satirized a certain duke.

"Huh! I have provided important information to the Kingdom of Stormwind, and also contributed hundreds of elite night watchmen troops. What do you think of me? Or, you greedy wastes send troops to the kingdom or donate money Things?!"

He had a high-ranking title, and the Duke of Elroeblock, who thought he had never owed the Kingdom of Stormwind, asked him mercilessly. His nearly a thousand night watchmen forces contributed hundreds of them all at once, but they are much better than these trash aristocrats who can only say nothing!

"you!!"

"..."

"Enough! Please exercise restraint! Don't mention all irrelevant things now! The kingdom does not prohibit early withdrawal to Hearthglen, but before the council has decided to withdraw the people, anyone can only afford the exorbitant You can leave the subway fare by yourself!"

Anyway, the kingdom doesn’t reimburse the fare. Those rich guys just leave if they want. Besides, Varian has the confidence to defend Stormwind, and those guys who have left will not have to spend another sum of money to come back. ?

"Everyone, I just want to know now, besides waiting for the Northern Expedition to return south, who else has a better way?"

After stopping the war of words between the dukes and earls, Varian was rare in relief, and finally began to tentatively ask.

"I think we can ask for reinforcements from Hearthglen or the night elves..."

"Night elves definitely can't do it. They have not returned from our northern expedition by boat! As for Hearthglen, they don't have much troops anymore, most of them are in Arathi Highlands..."

"Or, can we get the fighters from Outland to withdraw?"

"Outland? Don't be kidding! Even if the army of Outland returns now, they will pass through the Dark Portal, from the Cursed Lands on the Swamp of Sorrow, and then detour westward through the Deadwind Path into the Twilight Forest, and wait until they return to Stormwind or Reinforce Ten The Second Army, that's at least a few months from now! At that time, maybe our elites of the Northern Expedition will be settled here long ago!"

"..."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"What else can we do? Enlist a large number of strong militias, and then hurry up to train, and do not require them to be able to fight, as long as they can hold Stormwind City! As long as we hold on for ten days, our main force will be easy to do after returning !"

"Huh! Stupid! If you've been waiting here, whether it's the West Spring Fortress or the Triangle Crossing, once the situation collapses, the entire Elwynn Forest will be destroyed! You know, after losing the big granary in the Westfall, Elwynn Forest is the most quintessential area of ​​our Stormwind Kingdom. Once any party breaks through the defenses and floods in...Next year, our kingdom’s finances will completely collapse..."

"Yeah... the taxes on the barren burning plains and the chaotic Redridge Mountains are not so good! The three important tax areas of our Stormwind Kingdom: The Twilight Forest is affected by the evil black fog of the Deadwind Path, and can no longer grow crops; As for the Western Wilderness, you also know... If there is another problem in the Elwynn Forest, then, let alone the tax, we will even have a problem with food!"

"..."

"If this is the case, then you can only increase troops... Part of the main force will be reinforced to Xiquan Fortress! Stormwind can only rely on some militias to guard first?"

"No! I am against! Think about it, is Stormwind important or Elwynn Forest important? Losing Elwynn Forest, we will have a little financial problem at most, and once the enemy successfully raided Stormwind, then we Stormwind Kingdom Maybe they will die! Don’t forget, there are already orc troops rushing into the Elwynn Forest. Who knows how many of them are? Is it one thousand? Or two thousand, or five thousand? At that time, a group of militiamen and a few How can the elite defend Stormwind City?!"

"Yes! I also oppose the increase in the West Spring Fortress! If it is to send newly recruited militias, I have no problem! In short, the elite garrisons and royal guards must not leave Stormwind for half a step!"

"..."

"If you can send some armed militias, what's the use without any training? I am afraid that if they can't enter the West Spring Fortress, they will be directly broken up by the Defias rebels?"

"makes sense……"

In this way, in this king’s meeting hall in the fortress of Stormwind, a large group of nobles, high-ranking officials, generals, members of the council, etc. of Stormwind just whispered and quarreled with each other, regardless of what was standing on the throne. King Varian, whose face was getting darker.

"Well~www.readwn.com~ don't fight!"

"In the current situation, we can only wait... Hopefully, our reinforcements can return to Stormwind City soon! Let's do this first, and the meeting is over!"

After speaking, an angry Varian waved his hand, then shook his cloak fiercely, turned and walked off the throne, and walked directly to the small door behind the hall.

In fact, he had known for a long time that such a discussion with this group of guys would definitely have no results! Now, maybe we can only wait for the return of the Northern Expedition!

Tomorrow...No, in a few moments, he will try magic communication with Marshal Reginald Windsor immediately, and tell the old marshal the current situation to see if the other party has any good solutions?

If it doesn’t work, Varian even wants to give up Hillsbrad Hills...In that case, he can directly withdraw half of the main force of the Northern Expedition, and for the time being only keep God as the forward base and bridgehead. Xi Gaodi is enough! In this way, maybe it can be used as a bargaining chip to win over Prince Danastorbain from Stromgarde?
