There are many countries and races involved in this battle to defend the world.
First of all, the newly reorganized Alliance is led by the Kingdom of Stormwind, which is closest to the Dark Portal. The Six Human Nations, Quel'Thalas, Khaz Modan and Gnomeregan all sent reinforcements without exception. It's just that there are more and less troops.
On the way to Nethergarde Keep in a hail of bullets, Sarlayan saw the Lordaeron infantry led by Mograine, the Highland cavalry of Stormgard, the mixed regiment of Gilneas and the Alterac army. Mountain Legion.
In addition to the Dalaran mages standing on the city wall casting spells and the Kul Tiran sailors manipulating the city's defense artillery to counterattack, the seven human kingdoms arrived very neatly.
Sharlayan was not surprised that Lordaeron's ace Knights of the Silver Hand did not come.
After all, there are still many problems in Lordaeron that need to be dealt with, and the first to bear the brunt is to eliminate those demon spies who are infiltrating guerrillas everywhere.
Sharlayan had to sigh when he thought about the major difficulties Lordaeron was about to face.
Sometimes, luck is also an indispensable unexpected factor in determining the direction of a war.
With the Knights of the Silver Hand, commanded by Uther, staying at home, it may not be easy for the Scourge to break through the defenses behind Lordaeron.
In addition to the armies of the seven human kingdoms, the three dwarves of Khaz Modan who had just reunited also sent some additional reinforcements, and the dwarves who had always been inseparable from the dwarves also followed closely behind.
However, for the dwarves, who still have many internal conflicts that need to be resolved, this war led by the Kingdom of Stormwind is more about training troops and trying to build a tacit understanding between the three long-divided dwarf armies.
In addition, Sarlayan also saw a small number of Draenei troops on the battlefield.
It's not that the Draini don't want to send more troops to hand in this belated certificate of surrender, it's that they are indeed overwhelmed now.
Pursued by the Burning Legion for tens of thousands of years, the population of the fleeing Draenei became smaller and smaller, and they tragically encountered a wave of massacres by orc tribes in Draenor.
After finally escaping from Draenor, a part of the army led by Vindicator Maraad volunteered to stay in that dying world and built a barrier for Azeroth with the Alliance expeditionary force, hoping to do their best for Draenor. Nigerians seek time to recuperate.
Unfortunately, the Draini are also immortals, so their fertility rate is not that high.
A few years are still far from being able to significantly increase the population of Delaney. It can only be said that the overall situation is improving, and more time is needed to rest.
Even so, this war is necessary to allow the Draenei to fully integrate into Azeroth.
The Council of Bishops gritted their teeth and sent over most of the troops that could be used at this stage, under the personal command of Ranger Archbishop Nellie.
Only a very small number of second-line troops were left on the mainland of Mystic Blue Island and Mystic Blood Island to maintain law and order. In order to participate in this war, the Draini, who were short of major generals, had already tried their best.
As he sprinted all the way to the barrier of Watchfort, Sarlayan also saw several night elves on the city wall.
After all, the Eastern Kingdom is not the home of the night elves, and transporting troops across the sea on a large scale is very troublesome. These few night elves should be the bodyguards who came with Jarod and Maiev to check on the battle situation on the front line.
Although under the constant airborne operations of Hellfire, huge fel stone men can be seen everywhere in the Cursed Land, the main direction of attack of the demonic army of the Burning Legion is still the south gate of Watchfort facing the Dark Portal.
However, the four Sarlayans who crushed the wandering Hellfire all the way approached from the east gate of the Keep, and their appearance was completely different from the grotesque demons.
The Alliance soldiers responsible for guarding the east gate soon noticed these suspected friendly forces approaching at high speed.
Now is the time of war. In order to prevent the Dread Lord from transforming into his own people and infiltrating the city, the soldiers on the city wall dutifully shouted loudly and asked about the identity and purpose of Sarlayan and others.
"etc!"
The mountain legion of the Kingdom of Alterac is responsible for commanding the East Gate garrison. During the Alterac Independence War a few years ago, although Sarlayan remained hidden behind the scenes, he was still somewhat related to the Alterac army. contacted.
The general of the Alterac garrison obviously recognized Sarlayan. As he was responsible for his duties, he asked several important questions related to the Alterac War of Independence. After confirming that the visitor was the Duke of Deep Shadow himself, he immediately ordered The mage opens the barrier to release.
The giant barrier that enveloped the entire fortress opened a small door that only allowed one person to pass through. After the four people from Sarlayan filed in, the tiny entrance quickly closed again.
The war situation is urgent, and now is not the time to reminisce about the past.
Sarlayan went straight to the point and asked the slightly familiar bald middle-aged officer about the location of the headquarters.
The Alterac officer who knew Sarlayan's identity was also very straightforward. Without saying a word, he sent a herald to lead the four Sarlayans towards the fortress in the corner of the castle.
"Boom!"
Just when a group of people were about to enter the fortress, another ball of hellfire hit directly above the barrier. The huge impact made the entire castle shake slightly.
Fortunately, the barrier prepared by the mages in advance was quite strong, and the surface of the barrier only flickered slightly before returning to normal.
This Alterac herald was still a new recruit, and the fel energy explosion that exploded on his head caused his whole body to tremble with a stiff expression.
Sarlayan, who looked normal, reached out and patted the young soldier on the shoulder: "Just send us here. We should be able to find the next way."
"No!"
Sarlayan's kindness actually aroused the young soldier's fighting spirit. He gritted his teeth and slapped his still shaking legs hard.
"Thanks to the help of Duke Deep Shadow, the people of Alterac can stand tall again and proudly announce the name of their country."
"I am just an insignificant recruit, and I can only repay your kindness to the Alterac people in this way."
Sarlayan was silent for a moment before nodding and saying: "Okay, recruit, cheer up and carry out the mission assigned to you by the commander to the end!"
"yes!"
This Alterac recruit's situation is not unique on the battlefield.
Azeroth has been at peace for a long time, and many of the newly recruited young soldiers have never participated in actual combat. Fighting against difficult enemies like the Burning Legion is a great test for their psychological quality.
However, most soldiers can maintain the most basic fighting spirit under the orders of their respective commanders, because this war is not a territorial dispute with neighboring countries, but to protect the homeland that everyone depends on for their livelihood.
At least at this moment, the soldiers stationed at Nethergarde have no clear distinctions between nationalities and camps. They have only one common identity - the defenders of Azeroth.
A smile appeared on Onyxia's lips: "You can see the big from the small, and your military spirit can be used."
"Um."
Seeing the recruit's slightly staggering steps, Sarlayan's face flashed with a smile, but he quickly calmed down his expression.
On such a serious battlefield, this is no time for a playful expression.
Following the messenger to the command room on the second floor of the fortress, Sarlayan and his party finally met several senior generals of the Azeroth coalition after a simple handover.
Standing in the center was an old human man with white hair and beard, but still strong in spirit. Duke Bolvar Fordragon, who was known as the leader of the new generation of the Stormwind Kingdom's military, stood respectfully beside him. .
Needless to say, Sarlayan recognized the veteran's identity at a glance.
One of the five first-generation paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Gavinrad Doom returned to his hometown with King Varian after the war.
