First, kill all the orcs. If a sanctimonious hypocrite comes out and accuses King Terenas of being cruel, Medivh is willing to take all responsibility.
Second, continue to keep the orc shelter, and Medivh promises to solve the problem of orc weakness.
King Terenas was dominated by his own ambition and chose the latter.
Medivh was not surprised after hearing this. He had long seen through the old king's ambitions and pointed at King Terenas' face and laughed loudly:
"Old King, what kind of ambition makes you think that you can control a group of ferocious beasts? Look, Lordaeron will pay a heavy price for your decision today."
Terenas' choice put the country in a state of panic, fearing the invasion of the orcs.
The high elves of Quel'Thalas quickly repaired secretly with Zul'Aman. The trolls of Zul'Aman were also afraid of the orcs, and the two sides signed a secret agreement to jointly resist the orcs.
After the protest was ineffective, the Kingdom of Gilneas decisively withdrew from the Alliance, took the initiative to cede the territory in the southern part of Silverpine Forest, and built the Greymane Wall to resist the orc attack.
As this was not enough, King Genn Greymane allowed Arugal to conduct his dangerous experiment, turning half of the country into werewolves, hoping to use the strong physique of werewolves to resist the orcs.
Even Stormwind City, which is far away from Lordaeron, has been deeply affected. The Kingdom of Stormwind, which was once destroyed by the orcs, is worried about the comeback of the orcs. The nobles refused to pay the wages of the Stonemason Brotherhood and used the money as military expenses to resist the orc attack. Black Dragon
The princess secretly coordinated and handed over the western wilderness to the brotherhood.
Facts have proved that they all thought too much.
Medivh quickly fulfilled his promise. He mobilized the mages of Dalaran, and finally solved the problem of the weakness of the orcs through the accidental discovery of a mage apprentice. The solution to the problem was simple. The orcs needed to eat meat.
The court mage Kilwinter made a simple calculation. The orcs needed to eat meat, and one orc required thirty-seven human farmers to support it.
In fact, Lordaeron is mainly based on farming, and meat is scarce. It is difficult for even the nobles to eat meat for three meals a day.
This means that Lordaeron suddenly has tens of thousands more nobles to support.
This is simply impossible to achieve.
King Terenas originally wanted the orcs to work and support himself.
But this is not realistic. Take farming as an example. Orcs are so good at eating that even if they work 24 hours a day without rest, it will not be enough for them to eat. Herding is also impossible. First of all, Lordaeron is not vast enough.
In fact, the orcs are so majestic in the pasture that any cattle, sheep, or horses will be frightened and run away in front of them.
Finally, the court mage Kilwinter came to a conclusion.
"Dear King Terenas, you have raised a group of real beasts. Their huge physical consumption has forced them to survive by hunting. In Draenor, the orcs are scattered throughout the country in the form of clans. Hunt a wild boar in the morning, and the whole family
Eat for three days, and then go hunt a wild boar, this is their daily life. We don’t have that many wild boars in Lordaeron for them to kill, they will eat us all.”
"The orcs are a war race. Without war and plunder, they cannot survive. The orcs destroyed the draenei and invaded Azeroth. They were helpless choices. It was their natural nature and the need for survival. They became extinct.
For most species on the planet Draenor, without the opening of the Dark Portal, the orcs can only kill each other or wait to starve to death."
"The orcs are a violent race. If they don't fight, they would rather die. King Terenas, your insistence has brought great disaster to Azeroth. It can be foreseen that Azeroth will inevitably be in constant war in the near future. Now.
It's still too late, hurry up and destroy this group of orcs, the poison I gave you last time will come in handy."
It's a pity that King Terenas still doesn't want to give up his ambition. He wants to divert the disaster to the east, transfer the suffering of the orcs to other countries, consume the strength of neighboring countries and achieve the purpose of weakening the orcs.
This was originally a solution that had the best of both worlds, but unfortunately a shocking thunderbolt came.
The orcs, whom King Terenas thought were invincible, were actually defeated by humans.
The person who defeated the orcs was none other than the legendary general of Stratholme, Baron Rivendell.
Baron Rivendell is a general who is accustomed to fighting. His family has been stationed in Stratholme for generations. In the long and hard battles with trolls, he has accumulated countless war experiences and developed good military qualities.
The trolls of Zul'Aman would rather go north to attack Quel'Thalas than become enemies of Baron Rivendell.
During the Second Orc War, the commander of the human coalition was Army Lieutenant General Edras Proudmoore. Baron Rivendell, who came from the rear to support him, cursed the Lieutenant General as a fatuous and incompetent rat who would only make bravery worse.
The soldiers went to the front line and died in vain. If he was in charge of the war, he would only need half the army to completely wipe out the orcs.
Baron Rivendell has carefully studied the orcs' battles, and he discovered the weakness of the orcs. They have no logistical supplies, and basically eat wherever they go, eating all the meat they can see.
The plan put forward by Baron Rivendell was very simple. It was to lure the enemy deep and clear the field. The orcs were very explosive, but they had poor patience and were not suitable for long-distance attacks. Their overly strong bodies also caused their marching speed not to be fast enough.
Uther raised a question: "The people are not evacuating very fast. Will the elderly and children become a drag?"
Baron Rivendell said calmly:
"This war is different from the past. It is a life-and-death elimination battle between races. Necessary trade-offs need to be made. If someone cannot keep up with the retreat speed, they can only kill and burn the body. No meat can be left to the orcs.
."
"It only takes a week at most. The orcs who can't find meat to eat will inevitably have their combat effectiveness greatly reduced due to hunger. They can only kill each other to satisfy their hunger, thus losing morale. It will be easy to eliminate them by then."
Everyone knows that this is the best strategy.
However, it is inconsistent with the concept of the Paladin, and adopting this strategy will definitely be reviled by future generations.
For the so-called paladin faith, for the so-called light and justice, the generals of the alliance rejected Baron Rivendell's proposal.
They would rather see Paoze killed and eaten by orcs, and would rather see the people behind him slaughtered than kill the old, weak, sick and disabled with their own hands and commit war crimes against their will.
Facts have proved that Baron Rivendell was right. If it weren't for the orcs' rebellion, Lordaeron would have ceased to exist long ago. Edras Proudmoore, a mediocre general, has become unknown because of the tragic sacrifice of the Alliance.
After the war, the Warsong Clan, led by Grom Hellscream, has been operating in the wilderness of Lordaeron, refusing to succumb to humans. Baron Rivendell was ordered to go to conquer, and they fought well in the first year.
The battle loss ratio.
Starting from the second year, Baron Rivendell, who was familiar with the rhythm of the orc war, used a much smaller army than the orcs, and adopted the tactics of harassing the enemy when the enemy is tired, and retreating when the enemy advances.
, the fight made the Zhange clan flee after hearing the news.
No general had ever defeated the orcs in one-on-one numbers before, and Baron Rivendell did it.
Although King Terenas tried his best to conceal it, the news spread to the eastern countries with wings.
The myth of the orcs' invincibility was shattered.
King Terenas's ambitions were completely ruined.
At this time, it was too late for him to regret it. Medivh, without the constraints of Deathwing, showed his true nature.
........
Standing on the balcony of the palace, looking up at the dim sky of Lordaeron, the past was like smoke, and scenes passed before his eyes. King Terenas' eyes were filled with darkness.
Kingship has no eternity!
There is no hope anymore.
The king took a pot of black tulips and placed them on the balcony.
This is a little habit of the old king. (To be continued)
