The Alliance knows nothing about the changes in the orcs.
Beginning in July, Elwynn Forest has entered the hottest and humid summer climate with frequent rains. Under the conditions of high temperature, humidity and low visibility, the griffon's reconnaissance becomes inefficient.
The top leaders of the alliance are quite satisfied with the shrinkage of the orcs, which is definitely in line with all the characteristics of a declining force.
By capturing and interrogating prisoners, it was not difficult for the Alliance to learn that all orcs came through a huge [Gate]. Then through the prisoners' descriptions of the surrounding scenes, it was not difficult for them to learn that this special portal is south of the Swamp of Sorrows.
place.
Now, the alliance has unified the name of the dead land contaminated by the terrible curse [Cursed Land].
"The orcs are dead! They are gathering their last troops for a desperate fight." The massive number of orc corpses cannot be faked. Lothar drew this conclusion based on intelligence from various sources: "We only need to kill the place where Warchief Orgrim is.
The main force of the Blackstone clan led by him will fight all the way to the Cursed Land and destroy that damn portal to end this war."
In fact, when a war reaches this level, no one will feel comfortable.
In the past year's war, except for Kul Tiras, Stratholme Territory and the Hinterlands where the Eagle's Nest Mountain is located, the flames of war have burned through almost every territory in the entire alliance.
The tragic loss of human lives and the decline in food production have brought the internal affairs of various countries to the brink of collapse.
But if you don't kill all the orcs, the countries will not simply collapse, but will fast forward to the destruction of the country.
Nowadays, all countries are tightening their belts and gritting their teeth to support this staggeringly expensive cross-continental expedition.
No matter how rich the wheat tycoons are, money cannot be exchanged for food without loss.
The only good thing is that McDonald's has laid a solid foundation in the Western Wilderness, with various bunkers and numerous granaries, and has shipped winter grain from Andorhal and Stratholme in advance.
The Alliance only needs to ship over the large army.
The newly built Menethil Harbor and the Golden Coast Dock in West Wilds have become the busiest docks, followed by the newly rebuilt Stormwind Harbor.
On July 25, Lothar and others rushed to the newly built Jason Fortress next to Jason's farm and met with McDonald.
In the frontline castle, the tool man Turalyon looked at the military map and explained it to the big bosses who arrived.
"First of all, in the northeast, the dwarf mechanized troops led by Muradin Bronzebeard are attacking the Redridge Mountain fortress group. However, the effect is not good. The orc city walls are stronger than expected. The dwarf howitzers cannot effectively damage the city walls.
We are trying to mobilize cannons with stronger penetrating power. But this will take time." Turalyon first placed three metal dwarf tank models over the Redridge Mountains.
"Due to the severe damage to Stormwind City, once the offensive is frustrated, it will not be able to withstand the counterattack of the orcs, so we decided that the Stormwind City Front Army will be a northern branch. Only the second and third legions of the original Stormwind Kingdom will be used as a containment." Turalyon willed the two.
A small metal figure representing ten thousand people is placed at the location of Stormwind City on the map.
"The South Route Army has set off. They are a guerrilla force led by Brigadier General Alleria Windrunner, with the elf rangers as the core and supplemented by professional hunters. A total of 8,000 people. They have carried a large amount of supplies and river crossing boats, and they are just waiting for our signal.
Just cross the river and attack the southern flank of the orcs' defense zone in Goldsmith Town. But they don't carry heavy weapons? They can only be used as harassment."
Turalyon continued: "To the west is our main force. There are the First, Second, and Third Legions of Lordaeron, the Scarlet Cross Legion of Mograine and Abbendis, and a mix of the First and Second Legions of Dalaran.
The Magic Infantry Regiment, the Knights of the Arathi Highlands, the First Legion of the Storm, the First Armored Division of Ironforge, and the Stratholme Army, a total of 360,000 soldiers!"
At this point, a low commotion sounded in the military doctor's hall? This was the excited whisper of the soldiers.
This battle brings together the essence of the entire alliance!
This is based on streamlining most of the miscellaneous soldiers. If we insist on cramming them in, we are afraid that the number of troops will increase to 800,000.
After all, at this point in time, except for the autistic Gilneas and Quel'Thalas, the recruiting stations in various countries are filled with people every day. Even if the Alliance has stopped recruiting? People still spontaneously ask to join the army.
Simple militia training can no longer satisfy the people's willingness to participate in the war!
It’s a pity that the food can’t sustain it!
Can it support so many soldiers on a cross-continental expedition? It all depends on a certain rich man’s advance arrangements.
Even so, the seemingly vast Elwynn Forest still cannot accommodate such a large army to be deployed at once.
After a brief introduction, the big guys from all walks of life began to clamor and request to fight.
In their opinion, this is the last chance to compete for merit.
On the contrary, in the first battle of the battle, few people fought for the recovery of the old site of Xiquan Fortress.
Everyone is thinking that if we take Xiquan Fortress, we will be in charge of logistics. After all, this advance base is too close to the newly built orc camp in Jinjin Town. Whoever goes there will not be able to change defenses in a short time, and will have no chance to make the final contribution.
"Well, since no one has taken the initiative to apply to go to Xiquan Fortress, let me go." McDonald said casually.
Big bosses from all walks of life looked envious. They were not grateful for McDonken's generosity, but because McDonken was the only one who didn't need to take credit anymore. His achievements have long been unparalleled in the League of Lordaeron.
Dust. Let Terenas save face.
No matter how many dukes were killed in Lordaeron, just one Macdonken could earn back all the dignity.
There is nothing much to say about this battle. McDonald's didn't even use the two elite troops of Rivendell and Serijek. He just asked the guest worker Kurtaz to charge with 10,000 people. Two charges
They captured this fortress guarded by a third-line clan.
The Western Springs Fortress, located southwest of Stormwind City, was not seriously damaged when it fell last year. This was because Bolvar withdrew most of his troops back to Stormwind City when the defenses of Goldshire were defeated.
The Xiquan Fortress symbolically left 3,000 people behind to slow down the progress of the orcs and prevent them from rushing into the fertile wilderness of the west so quickly.
After a fierce hand-to-hand battle, all the human defenders were killed, but the main building of the fortress was still intact.
A four-story hard stone bunker with eight passable arrow towers, this is the Xiquan Fortress.
To be honest, McDonald's doesn't like this place.
As always, wherever King of the Bunkers MacDonald goes, he always builds something big.
Of course, what is more important is the forward movement of the supply depot. Almost at the same time that he captured the Xiquan Fortress, the 300,000 Alliance army had already deployed.
MacDonald was so bored that he sat on the top of the fortress and casually looked at the orcs' camp layout with a telescope.
In the fertile Elwynn Forest, many trees begin to grow back in just one year. You can see lush saplings everywhere.
But when McDonald looked at it, he felt something was wrong.
"Wait a minute! The distance between these camps is too wide."
This kind of open layout looks like a goblin racing track, and it looks like it is used for large-scale troops to attack.
