After listening to Antonidas tell what happened in Alterac, Li De had a strange expression on his face.
Alterac is really a magical land. In the former, Perenolde surrendered to Orgrim during the Second War, and now Drek'Thar decided to fight with the Alliance against the tribe led by Ner'zhul.
Although these two things are completely different in nature, if viewed together, could it be that Alterac's feng shui is conducive to defection?
But in just a moment, Li De shook off this unrealistic association.
"So, this time the reinforcements will be led by Marshal Lothar himself?"
After receiving Antonidas's affirmative answer, Li De felt a little relieved. He spent a month stopping the advance of the orc army. Finally, Lothar and reinforcements arrived, and the situation was settled.
This time Lothar brought 15,000 alliance troops from the north. He was able to successfully bring the army to the front line, and it was all thanks to Li De who withstood the tribe's attack.
The disastrous defeat of the former army in the Cursed Land frightened all the countries in the alliance.
Under the circumstances of uncertainty about whether continuing to send troops to the battlefield can stabilize the situation, all countries tend to keep their troops in the north.
At this time, Li De's series of victories in the eastern part of Dusk Forest once again established confidence in the alliance.
After Lothar signed a contract with the Frostwolf clan on behalf of the alliance, he divided the 30,000 trained soldiers into two equal parts.
He took half of his troops south with 2,000 people from the Frostwolf clan, and assigned Uther to take charge of the other half. In terms of qualifications and abilities, Uther was indeed qualified to succeed Lothar in leading the alliance's military.
Many people have considerable concerns about the Frostwolf clan siding with the Alliance, but anyone who has seen Drek'Thar and his troops will affirm that they are different from the Horde.
In the eyes of the Frostwolf clan orcs, you can't see the irrational violence and blood color in the eyes of the tribe orcs. On the contrary, the eyes of these orcs are bright blue, and a variety of emotions can be read from their eyes.
It can make people feel that they are truly intelligent beings.
It is not unreasonable to say this, because among some scholars in the Kingdom Continent, there is still debate on whether orcs should be defined as intelligent life forms.
Because these guys only know how to kill and have shown irrational behavior many times in the war, some scholars do not think that they are intelligent life forms, at least not smarter than jackals.
"The orcs here have completely defeated the evil energy. We will do our part to liberate the orcs."
When Drek'Thar said this, he had completely lost his psychological burden. Now that he has determined that he is doing the right thing, he must go on unswervingly. Orcs are a martial fighting race, and warriors never
Will look forward and backward.
Li De did not have much communication with Drektar because he was too tired. After receiving Lothar's order to "go to the rear to rest", Li De quickly completed the handover, taking with him less than four people.
The Thousand-man First Division returned to Night Town to rest and recuperate.
The army trained by Lothar has very good combat effectiveness. Although it is not as advanced as the first division, it can still be called a strong army. Moreover, while Li De was taking the four regiments to rest, he
The squadron and several special forces battalions were seconded to Lothar.
After all, to be honest, in the previous battles, the four regiments were the most difficult. Now that the reinforcement battalion no longer exists, all the soldiers in the reinforcement battalion have been dispersed and merged into the four regiments.
In comparison, the losses of various special forces are not that great: after several internal changes of power, the orcs are seriously lacking spellcasters. And until now, the orcs have no way to deal with flying troops.
The alliance army led by Lothar appeared on the battlefield together with the orcs of the Frostwolf clan, and took the initiative to advance towards the Swamp of Sorrows. The impact on the tribe can be imagined.
The most angry person was Fenris, the chief of the Thunder King Clan, who was born in the same line as the chiefs of the Frostwolf Clan.
"Drek'Thar! How dare you betray the orcs?! You are not qualified to represent the Frostwolf clan! I will depose you on behalf of Durotan!"
On a battlefield in the western part of the Swamp of Sorrows, Fenris met Drek'Thar and yelled angrily.
"I am saving the orcs! A person who betrays the Frostwolf clan is not qualified to replace Chief Durotan!"
Fenris attacked Drek'Thar with a double-edged battle ax in one hand and a spear in the other. The old orc didn't look like a blind man at all, he calmly dodged the attack and fought back with a pair of war blades.
"Woo~~~"
Fenris, who was blocked from attack, let out a long series of whistles, and then a huge figure rushed out of the dense woods. It was the Warg who pounced on the old shaman.
Most environments in the Swamp of Sorrows are not suitable for cavalry charges, but wargs have the ability to hunt alone.
Facing the warg's attack, Drek'Thar did not panic at all, and an earthy yellow light flowed in his palm.
Then the ground shook violently, and a large piece of semi-wet soil stood up from the ground, swatting towards Fenrir like a giant fly swatter!
"Whoop!!!"
"Ouch!!!"
The huge clay tablet shattered into pieces. The warg howled in pain and ran far away with its tail between its legs before looking back and staring at the old shaman with lingering fear, but it did not dare to pounce on him easily again.
"What did you just use?!"
Fenris shouted in horror, the power Drek'Thar showed just now made him almost cry.
This is the purest shamanic power belonging to the orcs!
"During the craziest years of the tribe, when the Frostwolves were pushed out of the orcs, where were you as Durotan's brother?
We restored our shamanic traditions, but when we called on the orcs to give up their fel powers, no one paid any attention to the Frostwolves!
Our sense of responsibility towards the orcs was rewarded with the shameful assassination of Durotan! His bloodline is still missing!
Where were you when Frostwolf was going through this?! The orcs are at a fork in the road again today, do you still think what you insist on is correct?!"
Drek'Thar's rebuke made Fenris feel confused. Respect for shamans is an ideological stamp engraved in the bones of the orcs. In the era when warlocks were rampant, the social order of the orcs collapsed. Now the shamans have returned again. Fenris, as a military strongman
It's a bit timid.
At this time, Fenris looked at the battlefield again. With the support of flying troops and caster troops, Lothar led the alliance army to continuously occupy the tribal positions.
Fenris knew clearly at this time that the Alliance had won the first battle from defense to attack, and the Horde had no choice but to retreat.
What surprised him was that when he decided to lead his people to retreat, Drek'Thar did not stop him.
"Fenris, when you go back, think carefully about whether Ner'zhul is worth following you!"
"Bah! I won't be a traitor like you!"
On the surface, Fenris doesn't value the old shaman, but in fact, how could he not weigh it?
In fact, he had long suspected the authenticity of Ner'zhul's retrieval of the elemental spirits. At the ks Hag Festival, Ner'zhul used shocking magic to overwhelm him, Grom and Kargath.
People feared Ner'zhul's power and surrendered to him, but everyone remained silent as to whether what Ner'zhul displayed was the power of the elements.
After Ner'zhul defeated the Alliance with a heavy snowstorm that stretched for hundreds of miles, his prestige reached its peak. As long as Ner'zhul can lead the tribe to victory, who cares whether the power he controls is the power of the elements.
?
But this way, Ner'zhul's rule over the tribe has another huge drawback. If he can lead the tribe to rule victoriously, it will be safe.
But now, in full view of everyone, Ner'zhul's magic failed, and he escaped from the Deadwind Valley in a very embarrassed manner.
It can be said that among the current tribes, people's hearts are very unstable.
