Although McDonald felt depressed about being successfully prostituted by the elf, he couldn't let Orgrim go and kill Kaizi's father, right?
When the orcs pass by, not a single blade of grass grows.
Anyone who can jump will be eaten clean.
The nomadic race is the walking [Gluttony]!
Macdonald replied so sternly that Vereesa stopped teasing her: "You are just joking, then we sisters will be ashamed of themselves."
McDonald waved his hand, ignored the system's [suspected illegal gift] prompt, and said with a smile: "Kill a few more orcs for me, that's the best reward."
Looking back...
[System, shut up! This is a favor investment, do you understand? Maybe we can bring back some ranger heroes later? 】
System: [Limited to one year, if the host cannot obtain the corresponding guard service from the donor within one year...]
Regardless of McDonald's willingness to use the Black Dragon King's teeth as money and injure all his friends with his heroic spirit, the war has entered its second year, and the most obvious change is...
Orcs have become more pragmatic.
Orgrim's understanding of this war with the Alliance became clearer and clearer.
A big melee in the Hillsbrad Hills had eliminated many weak orc clans, but the cruel situation of food shortage forced Orgrim to attack again and again.
Before the orcs transformed from a nomadic race and fixed their territories, the lack of prey was the biggest reason that prompted them to start wars.
The winter offensive began.
On January 7, reports of attacks were received along the Alliance's entire Hillsbrad Foothills front.
Starting from the west, from the southern part of Silverpine Forest in Gilneas, to the city of Dalaran in the middle, to the foot of Alterac Mountain, and finally to the southern foot of the Eagle's Nest Mountains leading to the Hinterlands.
Each battlefield witnessed over a hundred thousand orcs.
Lots of Lothar's hair fell out, but there was nothing she could do.
Heavy snow has blocked roads, blocking almost all alliance troop movements. Except for the unfrozen Lake of Lordaeron, which allows the city of Lordaeron to maintain contact with Dalaran, other areas are basically inaccessible.
"Where is the enemy's main force?" Looking at the map, Lothar was worried!
Even if they don't want to admit it, almost all staff officers have set their sights on two places - Silverpine Forest and Alterac.
The Silverpine Forest, located at the westernmost tip of the Northern Continent of the Eastern Kingdom, is a long strip from south to north on the map. It is sandwiched between the Endless Sea to the west and Lake Lordamre to the east. It has rich forests and grain-producing areas.
The southern and central parts of the region belong to the Kingdom of Gilneas, and only the northern part belongs to Lordaeron, with a duchy there.
It would be okay if the orcs attacked here. The Duke of Stratholme had long ago proposed that if the orcs really crashed into this area, once the orcs had more troops, they could conduct a landing battle from the east and west to form a pincer attack.
In a sense, the Silverpine Forest area is a pocket formation. Once Gilneas and Lordaeron attack at the same time, they will be surrounded on all sides.
But the problem lies in the Alterac Mountains east of Dalaran.
This poor place directly controlled by the royal family of Alterac has a population of less than 200,000. It is spread all over the mountains. Who knows if there are so many people there, and there is no food production. If it weren't for Alterac
There is also a Barov family involved. This kind of weak chicken is not much stronger than the Marquis, and is not qualified to be included in the ranks of the kingdom.
This place is too big to ignore, but it's also huge and deserted.
At the western foot of the mountain range, there is a lakeside passage about 300 meters wide that can lead directly to Lordaeron. At this time, it had long been blocked by King Terenas and Duke Tirisfal with an army of 20,000.
The problem is that on the east side, the road leading to Andorhal in the north is not wide and is guarded by the Rivendell Army. But in the east-central part, there is a huge gentle slope 15 kilometers wide from east to west, which can lead to Ultra.
Ranke King City...
How can he keep this?
The only dangerous point is the Sophia Highlands northwest of the fallen city of Tarrenmir.
It would be a headache to change the alliance's main force, let alone Alterac, which took McDonald's money and claimed to have "40,000 soldiers."
With no other choice, Lothar could only hope that the orcs could not find this snow-covered passage, or that the Alterac people would be more powerful.
Unfortunately, Lothar is destined to be disappointed.
Just when he was forced by reality and had to take chances, a strong wind howled rhythmically in a snow-covered hill near where he expected.
The sound of the wind is easily reminiscent of the music of empty ears and ghosts.
It's like someone is shouting at the top of his lungs, "You know Billy, you are a crook"!
In the mountain col, a burly figure with his upper body bare, revealing brown-red muscles, was wrestling with an ugly super humanoid monster with yellow-white skin, a round belly, and a height of four meters.
"Oh oh - drink -" Orgrim roared loudly, and in front of thousands of orcs and hundreds of Broken Ridge ogres, he knocked out the ogre in front of him who was more than half a body taller than him and more burly.
The demon was thrown to the ground violently, then he aimed a cross neck lock at the opponent's neck, blocking the opponent's breath.
Finally, the ogre made the agreed gesture, which represented his surrender.
"Ohhhhh!"
"Lok'tar!"
Surprisingly, not only the orcs cheered, but also the ogres on the opposite side!
It has to be said that barbaric races always have wonderful things in common. Even though they don't understand the language, the ogre's IQ is not much higher, but the two sides who are both fighting muscle tyrants have reached a py deal, uh, perfect communication.
.
In front of all the orc warriors, the taller ogre leader led a group of ogres to swear allegiance to Warchief Orgrim.
This is a victory for muscles!
This is a barbaric consensus!
King Aiden Perenold never expected that the Broken Hill ogres, which had been suppressed for many years by the Alterac Kingdom, would actually fall into the arms of the orcs under such circumstances.
When he received a secret report that more than 100,000 orcs and thousands of Broken Ridge ogres were joining forces and marching towards Alterac, he was completely panicked.
The tallest city wall in Alterac King City is only 8 meters, and most of the city walls are built against mountains. The mountains on both sides are not particularly steep. It is okay to resist human attacks, but it can resist the more burly orcs who are good at attacking cities.
Isn’t this a food delivery!?
Aiden secretly summoned his palace minister and the general he relied on most, the 38-year-old Haas.
When the two of them heard the king's proposal, they were frightened.
The palace minister's lips trembled: "What? Your Majesty, did I hear you correctly? You want to betray the alliance and surrender to those green-skinned monsters? Can those monsters communicate?"
Every beard on General Haas's face was trembling with anger: "Oh my God! Those green-skinned demons have killed so many of our compatriots, Your Majesty, you actually said that you want Alterac to join them?"
Aiden was furious: "What can I do? There are 100,000 people on the other side! We only have less than 10,000!"
Haas puffed up his chest: "Alterac warriors will protect His Majesty until the last soldier is killed!"
Unexpectedly, his oath was ruthlessly trampled on, and King Aiden smashed a glass full of red wine on his forehead.
My forehead hurts, and Haas’s heart hurts even more!
"Can you save Alterac if all of you die? The Alliance is only willing to send Darnath Trollbane's lost dog over. They have no sincerity in saving Alterac."
"That's also 20,000 soldiers."
"Yes, they are all trapped at the foot of the western foothills. When they come in spring, they will only be able to pick up my blackened bones that have been gnawed clean by wargs!"
"And Rivendell..."
"The total is less than 20,000 people!" Aiden yelled: "Besides, Haas, have you forgotten? The knight's loyalty is absolute!"
Haas was extremely sad, his breath was stuck in his chest, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
After ten seconds of silence, he finally lowered his head. The resolute face that was once full of glory could only face the gorgeous floor tiles: "Yes, Your Majesty, I am absolutely loyal to you."
"Send a secret emissary to Warchief Orgrim!"
"yes……"
Old thief Aiden did not notice that outside a glass window in the palace hall, there was a top thief who was in the [Stealth] state and made himself almost completely transparent.
