Menethil Harbor, the sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear.
Daelin put on his clothes and walked out of his residence. Ever since the allied forces of elves and humans returned to Menethil Port to garrison, Daelin had been worried that the orc army that had just entered the wetlands would attack Menethil City. However, the situation in the previous paragraph did not happen.
At that time, he received a battle report from the Allied Command on the northern front of Arassi.
The situation on the battlefield in Arasi is really bad. According to intelligence, the entire kingdom of Arasi has now completely fallen and has become a huge battlefield. The horse farms, mines, lumberyards, and farms are all completely occupied by orcs. Only Arasi
There is still a part of the alliance army in the northern half of the castle that is resisting tenaciously and hard. The orcs are almost in an uninhabited land across thousands of miles in Arasi.
The only thing that can show that the Allies have not completely failed is that despite many fierce attacks by the orcs, the Allies finally defended the Valley of Refuge, the last safe foothold of Arathi.
In many battles to defend the Valley of Refuge, the elven mages of the elven magician team led by Lor'themar played a very prominent role. The powerful group covered the attack magic, and successfully and effectively defeated a large number of orcs in the defensive battle of the Valley of Refuge.
The army was blocked from advancing beyond the Valley of Refuge.
The analysis of the Allied Forces Command believes that the orc army will leave some troops behind to continue to put pressure on the only remaining alliance resistance forces in Arathi, but most of the troops will cross Arathi and advance towards the northern part of the continent. Hillsbrad
The area will be the first to be attacked.
However, due to the current chaos in the command system of the Alliance army, it is no longer possible to gather troops in a timely and effective manner to build a defense line in the area. Therefore, the Alliance headquarters was forced to decide to trade space for time and give up part of Hillsbrad.
They will take a month to reintegrate their command and assemble the main alliance forces in Nanhai Town and Tarren Mill, where they will establish a new defensive front.
At the same time, a large number of refugees from Southsea Town and Tarren Mill were also mobilized to build fortifications at the entrance to Silverpine Forest and the Alterac Valley as a second defensive front.
Behind the content of this battlefield report, the Allied High Command also attached the request for Daelin. The Allied High Command hopes that Proudmoore will attract as much attention as possible from the Orc army to relieve the Allied forces' northern front.
pressure.
At the same time, due to the outstanding performance of the Elven Mage Force in the Valley of Refuge, the Allied High Command hopes that Daelin can persuade General Alleria to lead the Elven Expeditionary Army northward to fight in the northern Arathi battlefield or to build a new building in the South Sea town of Tarren Mill.
Come to the defense line.
This battle report was written more than ten years ago, but because the large area between Menethil City and the northern front has been completely occupied and controlled by the orcs, it has become very difficult to transmit the message. This battle report is still
The messenger was brought back to Menethil City from Nanhai Town by sea and land to Daelin.
Dai Lin's mood was quite complicated when he received this battle report. The severity of the northern front had exceeded his imagination. However, Dai Lin simply could not express his anger in words for the requirements put forward by the Allied High Command at the end of the battle report.
What does it mean to attract as much of the attention of the orc army as possible? Isn't Proudmoore attracting enough orc troops now? How many more orcs need to be attracted? Do they have to be willing to destroy the Kingdom of Proudmoore before they are willing to do so?
What Proudmoore needs most today is not to attract the attention of the orcs, but to avoid the attention of the orcs, so as to gain more time to repair and improve the dilapidated defenses in the last battle, and to recruit more people to form a new one.
's army.
He believed that Proudmoore was facing a life-and-death moment. There were two fully formed orc troops in the southwest of the wetland, more than 12,000 people, and there were also remaining orc troops guarding the high ground in the northwest.
Just for the two orc legions that have recently entered the wetlands, if they attack Menethil City, it is still a question whether Menethil City can be defended. This is still the result of the elven expeditionary legion assisting in the defense.
If Alleria leads the Elven Expeditionary Corps to withdraw to the northern front, with Proudmoore's current strength alone, it would be a luxury to hold on to Menethil, Proudmoore's last city.
In fact, before Daelin received this battle report, he was still thinking about how to transfer the legions of the Kingdom of Proudmoore on the northern front back to Menethil City. But now it seems that even if there is a way, he can
Even if they were transported back to Menethil City, the Allied High Command would not agree to let them go.
Some time ago, he sent a special battle report to the headquarters about the victory in the defense of Menethil City. He thought that this victory report would boost the morale of the Allied forces in the battle, but he did not.
Thinking about it, in the blink of an eye, the main force of the Allied forces on the Arathi defense line in the north collapsed thousands of miles away. Therefore, the role that his victory report was supposed to play was instantly submerged under such a frenzy of defeat, without even a bubble popping up.
The defeat in the defense of Arathi on the northern front made Daelin very disappointed. Therefore, on the night when Daelin received the battle report, he immediately wrote a stern reply with strong objections and asked the messenger to take it back to the Allied Command.
Strictly refusing to implement the high command's request, he also clearly expressed his opposition to the request of the Elven Expeditionary Corps to leave Proudmoore and fight in the northern battlefield.
He kept this battle report and did not send any news to the Elven Expeditionary Army. Because he did not want Alleria to lead the Elven Expeditionary Army to leave Proudmoore, and he did not want Proudmoore to completely fall to the orcs like the Kingdom of Stormwind.
Under the iron heel, he could only take the remaining troops and people into exile and live a life of dependence on others.
Therefore, for a long period of time recently, he did not go to the base of the Elven Expeditionary Corps, nor did he meet with General Alleria, the commander of the Elven Expeditionary Corps, because he felt guilty. On the contrary, the Elven Expeditionary Corps
The legion always sent people from time to time to convey to him the real-time information on the movements of the two orc armies to the southwest and northwest of the wetland.
This made Daelin feel even more guilty, but he did not regret hiding the battle report, nor did he intend to give the battle report to the elves. He admitted that he had selfish motives, but the Kingdom of Proudmoore was his kingdom and the city of Menethil was his.
He will never allow the city of Menethil to become another Stormwind City, nor will he allow the Kingdom of Proudmoore to become another Kingdom of Stormwind.
But today he couldn't help it anymore. He had to go to the Elven Expeditionary Army headquarters to find General Alleria. Because this morning, there was a considerable mobilization of the Elven Expeditionary Army, almost one-third of the Elven Expeditionary Army.
The soldiers boarded the elves' warships, and those elves' warships were about to set sail.
