It is difficult for humans to survive in the cold and lonely Borean tundra and the vast ice fields that can't be seen at a glance. Although rumors are everywhere and people's hearts are floating, most people still choose to follow.
After all, humans are herd creatures, especially in such a harsh natural environment. They can only survive by hugging each other for warmth.
Finally, after a whole day of rapid marching without any food, the city defense troops who had not undergone much training were exhausted and dizzy. Many of them relied on willpower to persevere.
When the king announced that they could rest, the soldiers lay down on the snow desperately, hungry, extremely tired, and their muscles were sore and uncomfortable, making them never want to get up again.
However, when a large group of orcs appeared, everyone's expressions changed.
The orcs also looked quite tired, but they had obviously eaten enough and still retained their physical strength. Their eyes looking at the human soldiers were full of greed and appetite.
"Look, our military rations came here on their own initiative."
Eitrigg, the orc whom Fordring called noble, opened his mouth and looked at the large group of exhausted human soldiers, revealing a cruel smile.
Wo'jin looked at Kites and said proudly:
"Your Majesty the King, you are very punctual. Garrosh's legion is behind, less than half a day away from here. We must seize the time and process this batch of food as quickly as possible. Thank you for your outstanding contribution to the elimination of the Scourge."
contribute."
"Processed food?" Kits asked curiously.
Tirion Fordring came out from behind. Of course, the leader of the Silver Northern Expedition is indispensable for such an occasion. Fordring saluted respectfully and explained: "Your Majesty the King, the so-called processing is to peel off the skin, remove the bones and cut the flesh. We, the Silver Northern Expedition,
If you are the best at this, leave it to us."
Soon, 20,000 human soldiers discovered something was wrong.
The orcs first forcibly took away their weapons and armor, and then forced them to take off their clothes, leaving their bodies naked and shivering in the cold wind.
Seeing the large group of orcs surrounding them, the Silver Crusade led by Fording was preparing various machetes and other tools. Even the dullest soldiers knew what was about to happen.
Unfortunately, they were tired and hungry, and had no strength at all. They could not even make a sound when they cried.
Fording felt that it was necessary to boost morale, so as to ensure the delicious taste of the meat, so he stepped onto the high platform built of ice and gave a loud speech:
"Soldiers of Stormwind City, I am the leader of the Silver Crusade, the spokesperson of the Holy Light, Tirion Fordring. The Scourge is tormenting and conspiring to destroy the world of Azeroth. In order to save Azeroth, the orcs bravely
Fight against the Scourge, and you are just a bunch of useless people
Use of useless humans to provide flesh and blood to the orcs is your only value. Being eaten by the orcs is such a great honor. Don’t resist. I hope you can line up neatly and dedicate your flesh and blood to the orcs.
For Azeroth."
The soldiers were dumbfounded after hearing this. They were so angry that they almost vomited blood. They did not expect that the noble Tirion Fordring in the rumors could actually say such words. The huge sense of loss caused the soldiers to panic. Unfortunately, they did not have the strength to resist, so they could only let it go.
People slaughter.
Wojin patted Fording on the shoulder hard, grinned and said: "Fording is worthy of being the greatest paladin and the spokesperson of the Holy Light. This can ensure that their meat is delicious."
Fording said modestly: "This is what I should do."
Jaina turned to look at Kites, and the king showed a hint of unbearability. Jaina said lightly: "You should be lucky, Your Majesty, because you are the king, you are qualified to choose your own destiny. If you still
That night watchman, that soldier below is you."
Kits bit his lip and said solemnly: "I am Varian, but I am also Lagash."
Jaina smiled and shook her head: "No, no, Varian is much more pure and thorough than you. He has long recognized his destiny, so he took the initiative to betray the Kingdom of Stormwind to the orcs, while you are making useless resistance.
, as a result, we can only be forced to submit, and no one can save the Kingdom of Stormwind."
Before he finished speaking, a sigh was heard.
This faint sigh sounded clearly in everyone's ears, as if they were talking to someone next to them. After the sigh ended, a low and majestic voice sounded:
"People of Stormwind City, your king has betrayed you. Life or death is your own choice. You can either be slaughtered like cattle, or you can become a member of the natural disaster and take revenge on your enemies."
"Kel'Thuzad, that is the Lamenting Ziggurat of the City of Death."
Jaina's voice was cold, and she was brewing a spell in her hand, ready to teleport and escape at any time.
The huge ziggurat floated above the team, and then, a large amount of food fell from the sky, like a shower, all of which were delicious barbecue, cheese and the like, exuding an alluring aroma, but there was a faint green atmosphere covering it.
There is no doubt that this is a plague.
"It's the Scourge. Oops, retreat quickly."
Vol'jin and Eitrigg were taken aback, and hurriedly gathered their troops and retreated to the rear. Fording knew something was wrong when he saw this, and retreated with the Silver Northern Expedition. When they saw that the ziggurat was not chasing them, they hid far away.
wait and see.
Life or death, it's a very easy choice.
Especially the soldiers of the city defense army, who were originally a group of shameless wallflowers with no intention of protecting their home and country, so they picked up delicious food and ate it without hesitation.
After someone took the lead, the soldiers had no worries, grabbed the food and chewed it. As the delicious food entered their stomachs, a strange power surged out.
Hunger, cold, fatigue, injuries, and all the pain disappeared, and the limbs were full of strength. In fact, the plague of the Scourge has been improved, and after eating the plague food, there is no change in appearance.
But at the same time, I also lost a lot of things, such as the enjoyment of delicious food and the love for women.
The orcs and the Silver Crusade fled in a hurry, leaving a large amount of equipment in the camp. This new group of natural disaster soldiers picked up their armors and weapons and were fully armed. There was a strong will in their minds that controlled them, and they lined up neatly.
, board the ziggurat.
After the ziggurat disappeared, Jaina breathed a sigh of relief.
Kits finally understood. Duke Bolvar was right. The orcs were not here to fight the Scourge at all. A ziggurat could scare them into fleeing for their lives.
It's just that the price paid was too high.
Eitrigg was a little disappointed and said helplessly: "We worked hard in vain."
Vol'jin touched his fangs and said with a smile: "It's not without gain. The king of Stormwind City has fallen into our hands and will bring us a steady stream of military rations."
Lamenting the unexpected appearance of the Ziggurat, the information quickly reached Garrosh's ears.
Garrosh frowned fiercely and asked unwillingly: "So our military rations have become inedible natural disaster soldiers?"
The Dalaran mage carefully kept his distance and said respectfully: "General, King Varian, his royal guards, and some nobles are still alive and in Vol'jin's army."
Garrosh thought for a long time and yelled angrily: "The king of Stormwind City must not fall into Thrall's hands. Send the order and move forward at full speed."
