At the end of June, the war entered an anxious state.
The arrival of the rainy season has plunged the advancement of the alliance into a state of stagnation.
You can also call it a retard.
The inventors of engineering equipment obviously underestimated the impact of rain on reliability, just like wanting to go to Gadgetzan to see snow, but only to find out after arriving that there is no snow in Gadgetzan.
After losing the support of artillery fire, the war returned to the familiar state, as if the previous soil work did not exist.
The channel opened by the alliance is not stable. Facing the power of nature and the tenacity of plants, human beings seem so small.
If left alone, those aquatic plants and parasitic vines could destroy the three months of labor of the Union soldiers in one month.
This time, nature is on the side of the Horde orcs.
Another engineering team from the alliance has already dug through the mountains, and more than 20,000 troops have begun to circle back, preparing to assemble secretly to avoid the orcs' eyes. In another month, the personnel and supplies will be in place.
Turalyon's hoard of fire oil could be put to use.
For the sake of concealment, the construction workers gave up on mechanical construction and could only use the primitive method of chopping with knives and axes to clear the passage. Those pre-positioned oil barrels became an important target to lead the army to advance.
All the people involved were inspired by the beautiful words and joined the logging business with great emotions.
"Think about it, when the torch is lit, the thirty-kilometer-long burning zone, the straight road of flames, the glorious passage to victory, can also be seen on the moon."
By seizing the Dark Portal, the Alliance will gain the winning point in this killing contest, and humanity will wash away the humiliation imposed by the orcs.
Although the two events themselves are not directly causal, the entire league believes so.
The high elves were burned to the doorstep of their homes by orcs.
Humanity was wiped out as a country, and the orcs destroyed the land of Lordaeron, killing and injuring millions of people.
The dwarves were trapped in Ironforge by the orcs and almost died.
dwarf……
Everyone has the fear of being dominated by orcs, and this mark of humiliation is imprinted on the bodies and memories of this and the next generation.
Hatred unites everyone.
Revenge unites the alliance.
Under the powerful political propaganda, the entire Alliance Expeditionary Force believed that this would be the last battle.
The final battle of glory.
So even if it rains continuously, even if the road is blocked and difficult, the alliance has no fear.
The plan has reached this point and there is no room for any changes.
This kind of large-scale battle plan involving more than 100,000 people does not allow for any personal improvisation by the generals.
The troops who attacked the Dark Portal have already entered the mountains carrying supplies. The alliance besieging Stonard must put enough pressure to attract more, more, more orcs to the front line.
Because the alliance does not have a second battle plan.
On the contrary, it is the orcs. On the tribe's side, Orgrim has keenly discovered the advantages of the weather for the orcs, and has become more and more proactive in going out to fight.
Without the interference of artillery fire, the orcs regained their psychological advantage.
The grievance of being forced to bow my head is really enough.
The orcs do not lack experience in dealing with artillery. When they besieged Ironforge, the dwarves' artillery fire was no worse than that of the alliance in front of them. However, after the great defeat, the orcs lost almost 90% of their siege equipment, including trebuchets and crossbows. Taiwan Spear, the most important thing is to lose the warlock.
Therefore, Stonard's orcs could only hide behind bunkers and accept the Alliance's unilateral bombing.
However, now, the weather is on the side of the orcs, and the humid air has stalled most of the alliance's artillery. The orcs once again have the opportunity to engage in close combat with humans.
Orgrim would not miss an opportunity like this.
The orcs' proactive attack is exactly in line with the alliance's strategic needs.
As a result, Stonard became a flesh and blood mill. The blood of both warring parties even dyed the swamp red, but even the greediest crocodile did not dare to approach the two parties with red eyes and could only endure the stimulation of the smell of blood.
This battlefield belongs only to the two war beasts, the Alliance and the Horde.
After a dispute, Carlos and Turalyon used a duel to decide who would surprise the Dark Portal.
Carlos believed that this plan was proposed by himself and he should bear the risk of failure.
Turayan believed that Carlos was the supreme commander of the alliance and it would be more appropriate for him to go by himself.
No one on either side could convince the other, and other generals who wanted to take over this heavy responsibility were rebuffed by the two of them.
The final result was that Carlos got the position in a competition in an empty warehouse where outsiders had no way of knowing the process.
The battle on the front line was intense. At the final combat meeting, only a little more than half of the senior generals were present. Carlos issued his last order as marshal.
"After I set off, Turalyon will take over the command of the alliance army. If Turalyon dies in battle, Uther will continue to command the battle. If Uther also dies, Danas will continue to command. If Darnas If Nass also dies in battle, then the situation may be irreversible, and the remaining generals must unconditionally obey the orders of King Magni Bronzebeard of Ironforge."
After Carlos finished speaking, he nodded towards Muradin Bronzebeard, and Muradin responded to Carlos' request.
To the soldiers under his command, these depressing words cannot be said. But since all the people present were senior generals, Carlos didn't pay much attention to his speech skills.
"If this battle is successful, we will completely cut off the threat from the orcs to us. So in order to succeed, we must first consider the consequences of failure. Any extra words are nonsense. In front, the brothers are working hard. After that, I am going too .Everyone, I wish you good luck."
Pulling off the seal from his finger and handing it to Turalyon, Carlos turned and left. Everyone at the meeting saluted him.
In terms of courage and responsibility, Carlos deserves the title of Marshal of the Alliance.
After Carlos left, Turalyon held the marshal's ring and didn't know what he was thinking. After the scene was silent for several minutes, he raised his head.
"To win."
This inexplicable sentence unexpectedly touched everyone.
All for victory.
After assigning the tasks as quickly as possible, as if stimulated by Carlos, every general who had clarified the tasks left the meeting, and there were fewer and fewer people at the meeting.
In the end, only Alleria and Muradin were left.
Muradin looked left and right and felt that it was better for him to leave.
However, faced with such an opportunity, Turalyon had no intention of falling in love.
"Don't die."
"Of course."
Alleria Windrunner was not a jerk, but the first time Turalyon talked to her without flattery, she felt for the first time that the person in front of her was not a child, but a man.
Sure enough, the charm of a man does not lie in his appearance but in the weight he carries on his shoulders.
