Stormwind God

Duke has asked himself countless times, why can't the Storm City teach the elite soldiers taught by Lothar?

Is it because Lothar was forced to raid Karazhan at a critical time?

Or say something else.

After traveling to the world of Azeroth for so long, Duke finally understood a truth, because the seven human kingdoms all implemented an extremely noble system of noble division, so some things were doomed to be irreparable.

Unlike any centralized country, a backward decentralization system has its inevitability. In this age of extremely poor transportation, it is simply a matter of night to concentrate the forces in one place and let the Quartet mobilize food and supplies to support them.

Just transporting the grain, the bad dirt and rainy and wet weather will be enough to lose half of the grain. In order to avoid excessive food loss, the state often arranges troops in various regions to allow various nobles to support themselves.

The king only has the right to order when and where a certain aristocracy must be sent, how many soldiers must be sent according to the level of the title, what equipment is it, where to go, and where to attack. The king could not order the knights of a certain aristocracy to do exactly what.

This is the so-called king's vassal is not a king's vassal.

Of course, the king has the right to order the nobles, but the nobles can also influence the king's decisions in accordance with the forces they have.

The orcs invaded and spread like a plague across the continent of the eastern kingdom of Azeroth.

From the beginning, some aristocrats insisted that this was a trivial matter, demanding more information, and the situation was like falling on a fast train to hell.

Three days later, the high-level understanding of the orcs by the Stormwind Kingdom was just a very majestic corpse carried back with a griffon.

What else would the orcs have? What is the combat power? how many people? Where is the attack target?

Stormwind knows nothing about this.

However, the group of digging aristocrats is still forcing the front line to send back more ‘exact’ news, and refuses to send money and support for a illusive invasion, and refuses to enter the kingdom into a state of war.

Endlessly wrangling with the aristocracy in the storm fortress, let Ryan and Andu tired because of this.

The nobles panicked when all the bunkers near the triangle junction connecting Elwynn Forest and Redridge Mountain were captured by orcs.

Because this not only means that the Storm Kingdom has lost its connection and control to the Redridge Mountains in its eastern territory, but also means that once the orcs break through the Redridge Mountains, they can enter the richest area of ​​the Storm Kingdom, Elwynn Forest.

Compared with the steep red ridge mountains, the Elwynn Forest located on the plain is truly unsafe.

There are more than a hundred human settlements in the tens of thousands of square kilometers of Elwynn Forest. If the orcs want to, they can completely ignore the defense of human towns and cities, and then encircle each town and then engulf them one by one.

These settlements are the fiefdoms of the nobles of all sizes and their core interests.

"Never let the **** beasts invade the kingdom!"

"Yes! In order to defend our homeland, we will fight to this end."

"For the Storm Kingdom, for Azeroth! Fight--"

The slowly responding nobles suddenly reached a unified opinion within an hour. They unanimously requested King Lane to organize a blockade at the entrance of the Redridge Mountains in the Elwynn Forest and use the dangerous mountain gorge to prevent further orcs from attacking.

After finally sending away the big nobles, Lane sat paralyzed on the throne and asked Anduin with a weak voice. In this empty and huge inner court, he and Lothar were the only one.

"What do you think about this blockade?"

"Your Majesty, I'm not optimistic. Intelligence shows that those huge green beasts are very good at fighting in the mountains. I don't think they can be stopped by grounds alone."

"What do you do? Let them invade Elwynn Forest and destroy the essence of the whole kingdom? Hell, if Medivh was there ... God! Why do I always forget that he is probably the culprit of this incident? "Ryan covered his face in pain.

"Actually ... I think we should ask Duke for his opinions. After all, the news from the frontline response is that the troops trained by Naga performed significantly better than other troops." Lothar whispered.

"He may be a little clever, but he's too young and too low-profile. And the nobles will not tolerate a little boy pointing at them."

"Oh!" Anduin felt Duke better as the preparations for the war unfolded.

Before the soldiers and horses arrived, the forages came first.

Fighting is always inseparable from logistics. In order to mobilize the food required by the army, Lane has to order the food in Stormwind to be near the front of Redridge Mountain.

However, the spring rain in March made the transportation of grain extremely difficult. From the south of Stormwind to Shanjin Town, because of road construction by Duke, the transportation was extremely smooth. But from Shanjin Town to the east to the Chiji Mountain Pass, it was so bad that Lothar scolded his mother.

The muddy dirt road almost paralyzed the entire transportation plan. A large amount of food, ordnance, and various supplies were piled up in the town of Flash Gold and could not be shipped out.

"Why is the road from Stormwind to Shanjin Town so good? The rest is so bad!" Because of the need for war, the Lion King Pride Hotel in Shanjin Town has become a temporary command post in Lothar. Here, Lothar, looking at the map, screamed at the table.

At this time, a non-commissioned officer whispered: "Sir Marcus was willing to fund the road from Stormwind to Redridge Mountains, replacing all the dirt roads with cobblestone roads. But among the nobles, only Boval Fortagan The Duke agreed, and only repaired the section from Stormwind to Shanjin. "

King Ryan and Anduin were speechless at the same time, but there was a faint feeling in their hearts-did Duke's kid even anticipate this?

impossible!

On this first day of April, the first year of what is called the Dark Gate.

Despite the harsh conditions, the Stormwind Kingdom assembled a combined army of 10,000 direct troops and nearly 6,000 noble personal soldiers, which were arranged at the Redridge Pass.

Looking down on the Red Ridge Mountain, which looks huge by itself, the first is a bare red mountain with few trees, and then there is a green forest in the distance. It looks like a distant picture that can be infinitely expanded. Everything looks small in front of it.

The Redridge Mountains are very large, but unfortunately, this V-shaped double peak located in the westernmost part of the Redridge Mountains area is in front of the wider and wider Elwynn Forest, like an isolated island above the endless sea, so lonely and innocent. help.
