Chapter 129 Close the door and beat the dog (2 more)
256 adult griffons are all.
It may not seem like a lot, but it accounts for 80% of the total number of griffons in the human kingdom in the alliance.
If Alleria wanted to take her ranger troops back as quickly as possible, griffins were the only choice.
Be careful, it is not impossible for a gryphon to carry four people. The upper limit of the gryphon's load is generally 500 kilograms, while elves are generally thin and light in weight.
Even with the equipment, it is still possible to carry three elf rangers.
However, don't forget that humans and elves only have a symbolic alliance, and Quel'Thalas has not joined the Alliance of Lordaeron.
McDonough had no obligation to lend the gryphon, which was his private property. Especially after the gryphon temporarily became the alliance's most important and scarce strategic resource, he had no reason to lend it out.
Anyone with a bit of strategic vision knows that borrowing a griffon at this time is more like beating a dog with a meat bag. If you borrow it, don't expect to get it back. Regardless of whether the Windrunner family intends to or not, it is impossible for anyone to take over the griffon in a short time.
The eagle sent it back.
A griffon is a bird of prey, not a homing pigeon. Even if it undergoes rigorous training, without its rider, it may go to the forest somewhere and never come back.
Facing the expectant and anxious eyes of the Windrunner sisters, Mai's face felt as if it was being burned by fire.
After pondering for a while, McDonald nodded: "I can ask the [Barbatos Air Combat Regiment] to send a squadron to accompany you so that you can bring the griffons back, and even [Barbatos] can help you in the name of the volunteer army.
Fighting, but that's all. Before Quel'Thalas officially joins the Alliance, the army of the Alliance of Lordaeron will not step into the territory of Quel'Thalas."
Public is public, private is private!
The Windrunner sisters were filled with gratitude that McDonald could do this, and Vereesa even blinked her beautiful eyes, her squirming red lips but hesitated to speak.
There are about two hundred griffons, which can basically bring back the best rangers.
As for how they fought, and whether anyone will come to ask for help when the time comes, that is another matter.
After seeing off the anxious Windrunner sisters, a certain bored red dragon was playing 'human observation' again.
"Oh, you are so willing!"
"For the alliance to win, money is not an issue." McDonald's eyes were firm: "It's you, is it appropriate for you to be so idle? There is no need to monitor me to this extent."
"It's not what I thought." Sister Long Yu stretched lazily.
That arc...
Hey, you can't be a dragon, at least you shouldn't be!
Poor monk [Wu Nian], hereby declares that the mighty heavenly dragon will frighten all the monsters in the sky!
"You really don't want to see me. You can find a way to unbind [Devil's Soul]! We at the Dragon Mourning Temple didn't force you, which is very reasonable. If you change to an evil dragon, you are already a snack."
What you said makes sense!
Too bad it’s useless!
McDonald walked to the window next to the headquarters and turned his gaze to the west.
On the other side of the river, a mess of tents filled the entire field of view.
The filthiness of the orcs was always unacceptable to McDonald. Even in the main city of Orgrimmar in later generations, the rough painting style still left McDonald unimpressed.
"Orgrim get out, it's time to take action."
The Fortress of Sodoril, which had been silent for nearly a month, suddenly became bustling with people.
"The Duke of Stratholme has given an order - start the [Trial of Blood and Fire]! Next, there will be actual combat training!"
"Kill one orc and you become an Alliance sergeant! Kill five and you become a second lieutenant!"
"Think about your homeland that was ravaged by orcs. You have been trained for so long. It's time to raise your weapons-"
Officers at all levels read out new orders loudly to boost the morale of the soldiers.
The tribunes, internal affairs officers and other officials at all levels loudly repeated Stratholme's various policies.
Now that the war has reached this point, there is little need for mobilization.
Whether they are refugees from the Kingdom of Stormwind, friendly neighbors who have fled from Alterac, or compatriots who have escaped from Andorhal, humans already have too much hatred for the orcs.
Either you die or I die!
Although McDonald repeatedly informed the officers not to go deep into the enemy lines, he was still worried about the soldiers who had lost their homes.
It is easy to rouse their morale and fight out of the fortress, but you are afraid that they will become hot-blooded and refuse to come back.
In the end, McDonald's first sent his most trusted general, the experienced Rivendell.
Unlike other compatriots whose eyes are as red as rabbits, the soldiers of Rivendell Legion who have experienced the grueling battle at Thoradin's Wall generally have a calm aura.
Not timid, not panicked, not impulsive, they carefully checked their equipment, and amid the cheers of other legions, wearing tattered equipment that they had deliberately put on, they stepped onto the Sodoril Bridge, shouting slogans, and marched towards the orc camp.
Launched a charge.
"Come on -"
"Lok'Tar!"
From a distance, two torrents of different colors were about to meet on the earth. When they collided fiercely, the silver torrent of humanity suddenly stopped.
"Wow! How scary!"
"Mom, I want to go home!"
"No, we can't beat it! We will die——"
Well, the above lines are very blunt, and a bunch of guys shouted them out in a complimentary tone.
The leader, Rivendell, was extremely embarrassed.
This acting is not up to par!
I can't blame him. After all, most of the soldiers these days are rough people. Those who are really knowledgeable and educated are all recruited to be internal affairs officers.
Rivendell raised his sword high and shouted loudly: "According to the plan, the front army will become the rear army, run away——"
ah?
Run away!
We are familiar with this!
Rivendell's soldier skills were not good, but his discipline was excellent. He threw away his spare sword, broken leather armor and other things with a loud bang, yelled and ran away.
Well, the only thing you can never lose is your shield. Just hang it on your back - it's safe!
If no one dies in a single charge, that would be too fake.
Here, [Junchen Tianya] showed off his might and rushed forward and stabbed an orc to death. Just as he raised his sword to kill the second one, he suddenly found that the human soldiers behind him started to run away.
He suddenly realized: "Damn it - no one told us that this was actually a feint!?"
[Junchen Tianya], [Tulip God], [Jun Muqi], [Xuanhu Shou], [Theyuxuan] and other operators who have long-term influence on the city appearance and have the [Quick Resurrection] entry are unfortunately killed by their teammates.
Sold!
These hundred or so men were indeed able to kill twice as many orc warriors, but they were overwhelmed by the angry green tide not long after.
If Orgrim were here, he would definitely not fall for such a crude trick to lure the enemy.
Even if a second-rate chief comes, such as Red*Blackhand or something, he may not be able to fall into the trap.
This group of third-rate chiefs all had their brains damaged by drinking the blood of demons. The blood rushed to their foreheads and they shouted for the army to crush them.
They followed the city gate that was closed by the defeated human army "too late", fought their way onto the majestic Sodoril Bridge, fought through the undefended bridge, stepped over the mess on the ground, and entered the second level of the city wall in one breath.
It wasn't until they saw that the 500-meter-long open space between the two walls inside the city wall was densely packed with human soldiers who were waiting in full formation that they realized something was wrong.
It's too late!
There were four thousand kilograms behind him, and the [Thousand Jin Gate] made of fine steel fell instantly...
