Chapter nine hundred and twentieth: competition for military provisions three
After reading the letter left by Garrison, Kites became furious and yelled in anger.
Many guards were waiting aside. Finally, Kits got tired and sat on the ground, panting and listlessly muttering to himself: "What should we do?"
There is no ship, no food, Northrend is covered in ice and snow outside, Garrosh's orc army is on the road, and there are also red dragons and Dalaran mages to help. It seems that they have fallen into a desperate situation.
Many guards looked at each other. They were the royal guards who had just been promoted by Kites to replace Duke Bolvar. They had only spent too little time with the king, so they did not dare to express their opinions.
Kits seemed to have lost his backbone. After all, he was just a small night watchman and did not have the ability to make arbitrary decisions. Suddenly, he remembered the runes left by Agna.
Perhaps Agna had some tricks up her sleeve, but Kits found it particularly funny. Before meeting Agna, he thought that Agna was in trouble, but he ended up in a desperate situation.
Gently rubbing the runes, Kites' heart was filled with ardent hope.
In a flash of light, a pretty figure appeared in front of Kits. It was not the dreamy female orc Agna, but a fragrant human woman.
Jaina looked at Kits with a smile.
"It's you, Jaina!" Kits took a breath.
Jaina smiled slightly and said with high spirits:
"Your Majesty the King, we meet again. You have fallen into a desperate situation. Now only I can save you. Yes, I instigated Agna to meet you. Without my help, you will be confused by Garrosh.
Tear it into pieces and eat it.”
Kits was full of hatred for Jaina, but now that the matter had come to this, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and said: "Okay, Jaina, you came at the right time, maybe you can help us open a path to
The portal in Stormwind City, damn it, why did I forget to bring a few court mages with me."
Jaina shook her head slightly and said regretfully: "This is impossible. Even I can take away a limited number of people. Your Majesty the King, maybe you want to escape alone and let these 20,000 soldiers become food for the orcs. You
The shame will be remembered forever by future generations."
Kits didn't know much about magic and didn't know whether what Jaina said was right or wrong. He said viciously: "As long as I and the royal guards can escape, all the sacrifices are worth it. Jaina, without further ado,
Hurry up and open the portal."
Jaina looked at Kites in surprise. In fact, she did not expect this result, and smiled sarcastically:
"I'm sorry, I am not your subordinate. You are not qualified to order me, His Majesty the King."
Kits stared at Jaina ferociously, and then said for a long time: "Okay, Jaina, what conditions do you want? For example, half of the Kingdom of Stormwind, plus a large amount of money."
Jaina was taken aback and almost agreed. She was worthy of being the King of the Night's Watch. He just didn't cherish the land he came to for free, but the promise in such a desperate situation didn't count. Kits immediately returned to Stormwind City.
They will not accept the account.
"Your Majesty the King, I have no interest in the territory of the Kingdom of Stormwind. I have great righteousness in my heart, I have the common people in my heart, and it is my duty to save Azeroth. I never care about personal honor, disgrace, or status. Maybe you can listen to my opinion.
"
Kits had no choice but to do anything, now that the situation had come to this point, he could only be at the mercy of Jaina.
"Queen Jaina of Theramore, please speak."
Jaina said calmly:
"The dragon-blooded orc army led by Vol'jin and Eitrigg is approaching the Fearless Fortress. There are still less than two days to go. If your army can set off immediately and move closer to the dragon-blooded orc army at a rapid march, then
Can be saved before Garrosh catches up."
Kits is not stupid. Garrosh wants to use him as military rations, which is enough for him to learn a lesson. He does not trust all orcs in his heart. Kits asked coldly:
"Vol'jin, Eitrigg, what's the difference between them and Garrosh?"
Jaina smiled lightly and said:
"You should trust Eitrigg. After all, Fording praised him as a noble orc who is more kind and merciful than the human paladins. Vol'jin and Eitrigg are both more traditional and deeply influenced by the civilization of Azeroth.
Completely different from the barbarian Garrosh, for example, they will eat your army in a civilized manner."
"hehe!"
Kits sneered and said: "It turns out they want to use us as military rations. Why don't I just wait for Garrosh? We will be eaten anyway."
Jaina shook her head and said seriously:
"I said, that's different. Garrosh is short-sighted and will only eat you up. Eitrigg and Vol'jin have a longer-term view. For example, they will treat you and your guards well, as well as the nobles in the team.
You only need to pay a ransom, about half a million humans."
"Half a million humans, have you gone crazy?" Kits was trembling with anger.
Jaina's eyes were cold: "When a king dies, there is nothing. Your ambitions, your glory and wealth will all turn into dust. Why don't you agree to them? It's just a mere five hundred thousand people.
It can reproduce within a few decades and continue to thrive."
After calming down, Kits fell into thinking. The loss of half a million humans would put the entire Stormwind Kingdom into a tragic situation, but if he didn't agree, he would die immediately.
It's better to agree first and then find a chance to go back on your word when you return to Stormwind City.
Even if it cost half a million humans, Kits felt it was worth it. In the two orc wars, the Kingdom of Stormwind lost far more people than this number.
Just on the day Stormwind City was broken, hundreds of thousands of people died at the hands of the orcs. If the stupid King Lion could do it, why couldn't King Gitus do it?
After thinking about it for a long time, Kites nodded and agreed.
A sinister look appeared on Jaina's face, so, under the king's order, the 20,000-strong army hurriedly set out on the road. This was a tragic forced march. The soldiers generally did not know what was happening, and just kept moving forward, falling behind.
He fell down in the ice and snow.
I thought everything was going well and we could join up with Vol'jin and Eitrigg, but rumors soon spread. Rumors spread among the army that His Majesty the King was going to give them to the orcs as military rations. People were panicked, and a small number of deserters appeared, but Kits didn't take it seriously.
, just supervise the march with all their strength.
In the desolate Borean Tundra, Garrosh's army is on the way. The new Warsong Orcs are not used to this cold weather. Fortunately, they have the help of Dalaran mages and red dragons.
Mages and red dragons can always find the most suitable road and clear obstacles such as ice and snow, allowing the army to pass smoothly.
Garrosh's eyes were shining, his mouth was drooling, and he was getting closer and closer to a pile of delicious military rations.
Unexpectedly, bad news came. A Dalaran mage scout reported that the human army had left the Dauntless Fortress and was fleeing northeast, approaching the dragon-blooded orc army.
Garrosh was furious, grabbed the Dalaran mage, bit his neck off, and tore out his flesh.
The blood elf mage, who had lived for hundreds of years, fell to the snow without saying a word, and was immediately devoured by a large group of orcs, leaving not a single bone left.
"No one can take away my military rations, no one can."
Garrosh's eyes flashed fiercely, and he commanded the army to catch up.
