No matter how you look at it now, the orcs are still incredibly powerful.
Three of the seven human kingdoms were destroyed.
Ironforge, Eagle's Nest, Gilneas and Dalaran have been blocked by orcs and besieged every day.
Judging from the griffin knight's message, the city of Lordaeron is about to be blocked.
I heard that the Duke of Tirisfal had gathered an army of 300,000 people, preparing for a decisive battle with the main force of the orcs' Warsong (actually a partial army).
Give it away! It’s a hard gift!
It’s not that Duke Tirisfal wants to play King Terenas to death, but no one wants to see the territory they have managed for thousands of years turned upside down by orcs.
Rather than being turned into a dog, it is better to fight hard.
Not everyone's territory is like Mr. Mai's, where they block two openings and turn it into a formation of iron barrels.
In the great plains suitable for farming, such as Tirisfal Glades and Andorhal, we have enjoyed the millennium dividends brought by fertile soil, but we have not prepared armaments. Now we deserve to be overturned by an orc car.
Now it seems that apart from Kul Tiras, which is isolated overseas, McDonald's is the most comfortable place, but how long can it be defended?
If all the other kingdoms are wiped out, only the Stratholme Kingdom will be left. It will be destroyed, right?
McDonald glanced at the humanoid lazy dragon not far away that was still wearing a tube top and basking in the sun in the middle of winter, and replied with a smile: "According to the current information, orcs do not hibernate. And they only like to eat meat. Question
Come on, how much meat is enough to feed two million orcs?"
Abbendis was stunned: "This, it's quite a lot."
Since Stratholme took in the labor of raising orcs, humans have learned more about the habits of orcs.
As a hunting race, the entire body of the orcs has evolved to be carnivorous. The sharp fangs on their upper and lower jaws are used to tear the meat and tendons of large carnivorous animals. After dissection of their intestines and stomach, it was found that the intestines are quite short.
The total length is only six or seven meters. This is an evolution made over thousands of years in order to adapt to the digestion of meat.
McDonald raised two fingers: "Although an orc hard worker can do a lot of heavy physical labor, to maintain physical strength, he must eat at least 10 kilograms of meat! An orc warrior needs at least 30 kilograms of meat! Where does the Eastern Kingdom come from?
So much meat for them to eat?”
The food chain is always pyramid-shaped.
The carnivores are on the upper level, and the more powerful the carnivores are, the smaller the number will be.
With the same land resources, the herbivorous race, or the farming race, can support a larger population.
"Although it seems that the orcs are going to sweep across the entire Eastern Kingdom continent, they have actually been unable to find enough food for all the orcs from the beginning of the invasion to the present. This is because the entire continent has basically been developed into cultivated land by humans, and they have grown what is most unacceptable to the orcs.
Wheat and other food crops. With more cultivated land, there are fewer wild animals, and there are fewer large prey for the orcs to hunt. So since the war started, the orcs have generally not been comfortable at all."
Hearing this, Abidis was thoughtful.
After all, those who raise pigs, cows and horses are in the minority, and most farmers are exhausted trying to feed their own litter of children.
The few domestic animals are not enough to feed the orc army.
McDonald continued: "They are like locusts, they eat wherever they go. After eating one place, they migrate and continue to attack the next place until there is no more food, and then they have to starve.
They starved to death on the way to migration. Of course, their racial characteristics of being able to eat the weak allow them to always maintain high morale."
You're starving to death, it's your food! You deserve to die!
You can't grab the food, it's your food! You deserve to die!
You can't occupy the hunting ground, you are your clan's favorite, you deserve to be exterminated!
When McDonald analyzed it step by step, Abidis and Serijek and Rivendell who came over to listen felt enlightened.
McDonald's theory was also written into an analysis report and sent to the desks of Lothar and Terenas.
All theories transformed into strategies can be summed up in eight words!
[Strengthen the walls and clear the fields, guard and defend to the death]!
Originally, Lao Taizi was very unwilling to do so. Lordaeron, the strongest country in mankind, should respond to the call and command all the kingdoms, annihilate the main force of the orcs, and then hunt down the orcs for three thousand miles and drive them out.
Unfortunately, the tragic scene of the 300,000 'army' being wiped out in smoke outside the city of Lordaeron made Lao Taizi realize the truth.
This army formed by the traditional nobles of Lordaeron, at least in terms of size and equipment, reached the first-class level in Lordaeron.
For every 10,000 people, there are as many as 5,000 professional and semi-professional soldiers. Even the other half of the militiamen have received a month-long closed training. At least they can listen to orders and perform spear thrusts collectively.
In addition to long guns, militiamen are also equipped with simple leather breastplates and leather helmets.
The Duke of Tirisfal really didn't hack the money donated by someone, but everything was so fragile in front of the drugged and violent army of green-skinned demons on the opposite side.
The spear thrust out and hit the opponent. These orcs could be transformed into hedgehogs, but they still rushed up crazily, hacking at them with tomahawks, and killed several humans before dying.
Professional soldiers can't handle it, let alone peasant soldiers who have no courage.
Almost as soon as they met, the shield wall composed of heavy infantry at the front was forcibly torn apart by the Warsong Orcs with brute force, entering a chaotic stage of fighting.
At this point in time, no race is better at chaos than the orcs.
The glorious battle flag of Tirisfal was just submerged in the sea of green.
In the vast land north of the city of Lordaeron, there are tragic scenes everywhere of human soldiers crying for their fathers and mothers, being overtaken by orcs riding wargs, and either hacked to death or directly eaten by wargs.
Lao Taizi finally realized
It's tough, it can't be tougher!
Fortunately, this old man listened to McDonald's advice and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a huge moat with a width of more than 50 meters in the north of Lordaeron City in advance. The river water is connected to Lake Lordaemir, so there is no need to worry about being cut off.
water source.
The entire city of Lordaeron is like an island in the middle of a lake.
Grom*Hellscream imitated Orgrim's tactics and asked a large number of orcs to carry sandbags to fill the river. Who knew that this trick would not work.
Regardless of how many hard workers were killed by the rain of arrows on this beautiful white city, those sandbags thrown into the river were washed away to nowhere at once, which made Hou Daddy feel headache.
Seeing that he had defended, Terenas thoughtfully asked the gryphon knight to reply to you, McDonald! It's our last hope, Sao Nian, don't be impulsive and don't rush out to send it to us.
Waiting for the opportunity, attack from the front and back to kill the orcs.
Mai, who was preparing to live out his life forever: Meow, meow, meow? I made up so many reasons why the tribe is short of food, just to survive until Gul'dan rebels and trap the orcs to death. You'd better give me a legal one to survive.
Wang Ling. Thank you so much!
It didn't take long for Houdi to usher in the main force of Orgrim. After destroying the Barrier of Andorhal (later the Barrier of the Undead) from both sides, the orcs successfully reunited.
But until the end of February, the orc army was in a situation where there was no way to capture it.
The food shortage situation among the orcs has become more and more serious. It is the end of winter, and a large number of prey are hibernating, which is not suitable for hunting in the first place...
Unable to find prey, the orcs refused to eat the black bread and rye that the human farmers had hoarded for the winter.
After hearing that there was a country of long-eared elves at the northernmost tip of the continent, the chiefs were excited!
Maybe that's the hunting ground they dream of?
But how to get there? The only land passage is blocked by McDonald's.
So, at Gul'dan's suggestion, the magical death knight transformed into a water ghost who didn't need to breathe. On a dark and windy night, he attacked a man who stayed less than two hundred meters away from the coast in the north of Lotirisfal Woodland.
Kul Tiran Third Fleet.
History took a turn here. The eldest son of King Daelin smashed Prince Derek. He did not die under the breath of the red dragon as in history, but died at the hands of a death knight. He even became a death knight himself.
