The death of Duke Andorhal in battle was definitely beyond McDonald's expectation. As long as this guy had some backbone and died in the city, he would at least gain a good reputation after his death.
You ran away until you were hacked to death right in front of the king's eyes. What does that mean?
If he had no backbone at all, he might have left Rivendell to carry him to death, or he might have broken the city and led the way towards Stratholme.
Brother, I even shoveled the snow for you. On the 50-kilometer national highway, if you ride a horse and run with all your strength, you will reach the safe zone in two hours at most. I will humiliate you, it is better than feeding the wargs!
God damn it, the whole family will die.
The Duke of Andorhal, together with his descendants, a total of 107 nobles, big and small, were all wrapped up by Father Hou, and they were considered completely extinct.
Sitting in the newly built Sodoril Fortress, looking at the long queue of refugees who had crossed the river and headed towards the depths of Stratholme Territory, Count Abidis sighed with emotion: "Duke Stratholme... I didn't expect you.
The fortress complex that was built in advance was actually used. How did you calculate that Stromgard, Alterac, and Andorhal in front of you couldn't withstand it?"
A certain time-traveler has a lot of embarrassment in his heart.
McDonald looked up at the starry sky in the west, with a calm expression on his face: "From the moment the Redridge Mountain Church was massacred by orcs, I paid attention. Priests are the most upright profession in the world. Their sacrifices
, it deeply stimulated me.”
Well, I know that Dark Priest has something to say, but it’s not your time to show up now.
Abidis was in awe: "Is it Master Fa'ao?"
As a second-generation Paladin, even if Abidis becomes a monk and escapes to the Gate of Holy Light, he still has to call Fao his master. After all, it was Fao who personally guided him to the power of the Holy Light.
"Yes! Godfather knows Sir Lothar's commanding strength very well. Even Stormwind City fell so easily. I don't think Stromgard, Alterac and Andorhal can do better."
Seeing the torches in the refugees' hands stretching from the front to the eastern horizon, Abedis fell silent.
On the other hand, Orgrim's approach after capturing the city of Andorhal that night was correct in a sense, because once he sent troops east, he would encounter the Serijek Division that was assisting the refugees.
Five thousand elite soldiers, equipped similarly to the Rivendell Legion, including a carriage equipped with a ballista turret, a large number of flares, and plenty of hand crossbows.
They arrived at a place 20 kilometers west of the river. If the orcs had pursued them regardless, they would have been killed by the arrow net.
The entire territory of Andorhal fell completely in just three days.
The shape of the entire territory is like a spindle from south to north. Once the city of Andorhal, which is the gateway to the south, is opened, the orc wolf troops can gallop through the entire territory.
After the first day, all the farms fell, and probably less than 50,000 refugees escaped the orc blockade and fled to the Sodorir River defense line.
Seeing the orcs coming from the south, a large number of refugees instinctively ran north and hid in Hearthglen, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Those who were lucky enough to enter the valley should be able to escape.
Three days later, not a single human remnant or refugee was seen on the Sodorir River defense line.
"How many refugees have we taken in?" McDonald asked.
"About 250,000." Archivist Galford answered with a low hand.
"The Duke of Andorhal's family is extinct. Arrange civil officials to issue these people free citizenship certificates from Stratholme."
"clear!"
Regarding refugees, McDonald didn't dare to think about it.
The Hearth Valley in this parallel world is very large, covering 30 to 50 square kilometers.
Cramming millions of refugees?
No, perhaps, not that many refugees entered Hearthglen alive at all.
War aimed at genocide is too cruel.
Here, Orgrim's head is as big as a bucket.
After the capture of the territory of Andorhal, the food problem that plagued the orc army was finally solved. The orcs don't like to eat barley products, but at least they can eat them. Meat in units of "ten thousand tons" was also found in a large number of farms in Andorhal.
.
Andorhal is so rich!
Another piece of information was placed in front of the war chief. The enemy east of Andorhal had arranged for defense as early as the beginning of last year and had built a brand new fortress at a critical juncture.
"We Andorhal people all thought that Duke Stratholme was crazy. He built thousands of bunkers throughout the territory. He has been training troops like crazy since the fall of Stormwind City. All adults have undergone military training." More than one human farmer was captured.
Say similar words.
"That Duke of Stratholme!" Orgrim was extremely impressed by Rivendell's legion that had an iron will and was skilled in fighting and retreating.
From the flying dragon being trapped, to defending Thoradin's Wall, to the ambush of the Warsong Orcs in the Alterac Mountains...
More than once, his complete victory was disrupted by this army.
Now that he was meeting the real owner of McDonald's, it was impossible for Orgrim not to feel a little confused.
When he led a hundred thousand orc forwards to the west side of the Sodoril River, he was dumbfounded.
No turtle shell or iron wall is enough to describe the ferocity of this fortress.
Ahead is the extremely fast-flowing Sodoril, with the river flowing twice as fast as south of Andorhal. The plan to cross the river on ice was abandoned at the beginning.
The river flowed too fast and was washed away as soon as it froze.
Put down the raft, and in just ten seconds, the raft can go from the left end to the right end of an orc's vision by the river.
The huge Sodoril Stone Bridge is completely fortified, with four huge bunkers on each side. The fortress guns and ballistas above are enough to cover the surrounding three kilometers.
The fortress on the other side of the river, with three floors outside and three floors inside, a total of seven walls tens of meters high, is ridiculous.
Yes, taking advantage of winter, McDonald's had people build an ice wall on the outermost circle.
Over the mountain?
Looking at the cliff, which was more than a thousand meters high and looked slippery under the winter ice, Orgrim had no idea at all.
Frontal attack?
Could it be that the lives of millions of orcs are going to be filled here?
McDonald's full of defensive talents made the Chief's scalp numb.
"Tch, it would be great if there were still dragoons."
When he found a prisoner again, no matter how he asked, he could only get an answer that made Orgrim very frustrated. It was just an unsolvable turtle shell!
The entire territory is on the plateau, with only two entrances and exits, the southwest and northeast.
There are ample water sources, farmland and minerals in the territory. Unless your soldier can fly, he can defend it until the end of the world.
The army of one hundred thousand was like an armed parade. After being stationed on the west side of Sodoril Fortress for three days, one hundred thousand was exchanged for one hundred thousand. A bunch of third-rate orc clans replaced the Blackstone clan and other main forces.
This scene made the nervous Stratholme people breathe a sigh of relief, but also felt a punch hit the cotton.
Abedis: "I suddenly want the orcs to attack again."
McDonald was extremely calm: "It's okay. The orcs are dying. We just lack an opportunity."
