As almost the northernmost point of the Eastern Kingdom continent, the weather at the end of February was still bitingly cold.
The entire Kul Tiran Third Fleet is waiting here, bored.
There is no way, since the first naval battle, the orcs have shrunk and no longer send their inferior so-called warships and transport ships to die. After all, the orcs still have a stable land passage like the Sador Bridge, so there is no need
Forced to deliver food to the alliance.
Derek complained more than once that his father beat the orcs so badly that he could not earn a single penny in bonuses.
As a result, since that battle, the expanded Kul Tiras fleet has been reduced to the captain of the transport fleet, floating on the sea all winter, enjoying an extremely bad 'hibernation'.
It’s either that there’s no rotation, or it’s just boring and waiting.
The war inland would be nothing without sailors.
There are no enemies and no work to do.
Listening to the griffins flying on the shore bringing all kinds of bad news, the worst-case scenario is to prepare to pick up the King of Lordaeron and his family who may have fallen...
In this state, it is normal for sailors to become lazy and tired.
In fact, this night, every ship still had a lookout.
It's just that in the cold and windy dark night, people can easily become numb when looking at the undulating coastline that seems to remain unchanged forever. This is not a night scene in a big city. There is no light on the shore. In the slight snow, the blurry scenery is really
It has no ornamental value.
It was under this situation that the Death Knight came into contact.
Ignoring the cold and biting water, they walked on the bottom of the water, then hooked the first one to the side of the ship and rushed to the surface like torpedoes.
In reality, there are not as many restrictions as there are in the game. As the power to "control all things", the death knight's only worry is that when he uses the negative energy of the death system, he will be discovered by the priests such as the Holy Light Priest on the ship.
Obviously, they were lucky. After boarding the ship, they found that there was no one on the deck and the sailors had all gone to sleep in the cabin.
At a signal, a large number of orcs began to launch into the water carrying sampans prepared in advance.
To be fair, given the generally poor water quality of this group of orcs who just came from Draenor, it is not unusual for half of them to drown in a mere 200 meters of water.
Orgrim has the 'Ice-Crossing True Monarch'. These Alterac snow monsters can easily breathe ice and connect several ships with ice blocks to form huge ice floes.
The death knight used amazing arm strength that no mortal could imagine, throwing the iron hook tied with the rope and pulling the ice floes over.
When the Orks succeeded in turning the naval battle into a land battle, it was all over.
The Kul Tirans, who were attacked in their sleep, panicked and fought. Unfortunately, everyone who was boarded suffered the same fate.
How could a sailor with thin clothes and no protection be a match for orc warriors and death knights?
Almost half of the entire fleet was caught in the first wave of raids. Later, because they were too panicked and slow to react, the warships that had no time to lift anchor and run away were attacked by the second wave of raids.
In the end, only less than 40 large and small warships escaped, and 173 warships of various types fell into the control of the orcs, including Derek Proudmoore, the great prince of Kul Tiras.
Different from the past practice of stuffing the corpses of human generals into the Shadow Warlock, this time Gul'dan directly used soul punishment to force him to surrender. After endless torture for most of the night, the orcs gained for the first time a man who was skilled in water warfare.
Important generals.
There happened to be no griffins or mages on the fleeing fleet. At this time, the Tirisfal Territory was almost entirely under the control of the orcs. When the remaining ships headed west, they found Dai Dai, who was located in the open sea to the west of Tirisfal Glades.
When Lin's First Fleet broke the news, it was already the fifth day.
"Are you sure you can no longer see the battle flags of the core clans such as Blackstone, War Song, and Shattered Palm on the battlefield?" McDonald asked the griffon knight who sent the message.
"Sure, but we can't be sure of the movement of the main force of the orcs. Your Majesty suspects this is a trap." The messenger replied.
"Whether it's a trap or not, inform Mograine to train his troops. Remember not to let the soldiers go more than five miles away from the city wall."
"clear!"
McDonald quickly wrote down his judgment on the parchment, stamped it with a wax seal, and handed it to the messenger.
After a little struggle, McDonald's invited two special guests.
Not long after, the beautiful elf sisters came to McDonald at the fortress headquarters.
When the Rivendell Legion defended Thoradin's Wall, the Windrunner sisters and their ranger troops followed Rivendell to fight, fighting and retreating all the way to Alterac, and finally retreated to Thoril Fortress.
Although McDonald had a personal relationship with them, everyone still conducted business on the battlefield and strictly followed the alliance's rules.
He calmly handed Alleria the latest battle report.
At first, the two sisters didn't react, but as McDonald's fingers moved on the military map, the Windrunner sisters' faces suddenly turned extremely pale.
On the map of the Eastern Kingdom continent, especially the Northern Continent, if there is any area that has not been affected by the war, then only Quel'Thalas is left.
McDonald's finger drew an arc from west to east from the northern shore of Tirisfal, where the Third Fleet was attacked. The end point of the arc is nothing more than the western shore of Quel'Thalas: Quel'Thalas, located northwest of Silvermoon City.
Er'danath Island...and a place that the two sisters are extremely familiar with is the Windrunner's Tower in the southwest of Silvermoon City!
"No." Vereesa collapsed on the spot and cried out, "Oh my god! Father, mother, and Liras are all there!"
Liras is the younger brother of the three sisters and the only male of this generation's Windrunner. It can be said that except for the second sister Sylvanas who serves in Silvermoon City, the entire Windrunner family is there.
McDonald was silent.
It's not that he doesn't know history, he's also wronged. Who knows that the orcs have such clear thinking. After he blocked the Stratholme territory, he was stunned to grab the ship by himself and still walked north without hesitation.
In an instant, thousands of thoughts flowed through Alleria's mind, sad, desperate, painful, but in the end everything turned into duty, her duty as the eldest daughter of the Windrunner.
Striding forward, Alleria bowed deeply to McDonald. When she raised her head, her beautiful eyes were full of perseverance and sadness: "I know our next request is excessive, but
For the sake of our fighting side by side, please be sure to lend us the gryphon..."
After a pause, she emphasized: "All the griffons in Stratholme territory!"
After the tragic aerial battle at Hillsbrad, griffons have become a scarce resource in the entire alliance. It is generally believed that even the Wildhammer dwarves have a griffin brigade of two hundred griffons.
Not many people know that a certain rich man still left 100 million hands.
