The calmness of the Dark Portal is unreasonable.
Carlos knew it, Turalyon knew it, every Alliance general who didn't have a sarcoid in his brain knew it.
But the soldiers longed for peace, longed for rest, longed for a quiet front.
These veterans with honors on their chests are still willing to risk their lives for the alliance, but the generals dare not actually send them to die.
Therefore, on both sides of the Dark Portal, the alliance, which had already grasped the situation, chose to defend with turtle shell style.
Build a bunker, build a parapet, dig trenches, and use the least amount of troops to defend.
The Trolls' Tustin Gogo mercenary group has penetrated deep into the Tanarion Jungle to explore a practical way forward for the Alliance.
After entrusting the task of defending the Dark Portal to Danath Trollbane and Khadgar, Carlos embarked on his return journey.
In fact, it’s not difficult to understand if you think about it.
After all, the rise of the orcs is too fast, and the foundation is not strong. The other races on the planet Draenor are not good people. Don't you see, Gromsh Hellscream is still fighting with the Gorian Empire in Nagrand.
Kilrogg and his Blood Hollow clan, as the local snakes of the Tanarion Jungle, gave up the defense of the Dark Portal on the Draenor side. It seemed unreasonable, but if you think about it carefully, it is not so difficult to understand.
I have done meritorious service for the tribe, and I have shed blood for the orcs. Great Shaman, you can't do this to me!
It's nothing more than the feud between Kilrogg and Ner'zhul.
Draenor is an unfamiliar world to the Alliance. Relying solely on the orc captives' eloquent speeches, if the Alliance army suddenly rushes in, even if they lose troops and generals, the whole army may be annihilated at any time.
So Carlos let the trolls out and kept the mages.
In war, there is never any complete preparation, but you have to know where you are and who the enemy is, right?
Preliminary investigation preparation is necessary.
Behind the old saying that it is better to chase the poor bandits with only one left behind, there is also the adage that there is no chance of entering the forest.
Fighting on the Orcs' home court, the Alliance cannot waste time.
Therefore, Carlos's planned plan is to return to Lordaeron and attend the alliance spoils sharing meeting first, conduct some proper quarrels, reach a consensus with the interest alliances, heighten the atmosphere first, stir up public opinion, and then carry out moral kidnapping and promote The counterattack on Draenor.
If you want to add a deadline to this plan.
Then Carlos hopes it will be three months.
The change of defense of troops, the adjustment of personnel, the preparation of supplies, and the collection of intelligence.
Carlos didn't know how long the orcs had been preparing to invade Azeroth.
But if the Alliance wants to counterattack Draenor, the current preparations are not enough.
Counterattack on Draenor out of revenge?
Just a slogan.
If there is no profit, the life and death of the orcs has nothing to do with humans, and the rise and fall of the tribe has nothing to do with the alliance.
Carlos has his own ideas about Delano, but he will not put these ideas above the entire human society.
There are specialties in magic, and even though Carlos has spells like the mage's arcane vision, he still looked confused after staring at the Dark Portal for so long.
It's too fantasy, not magical at all. The principle of the Dark Portal is unknown and the technology is unknown. Apart from screaming coooooooooooooool, I have no idea how this thing works.
With Medivh lying dead, it was impossible for Carlos to obtain the control orb of the Dark Portal from Ner'zhul.
Therefore, it is obviously a mature and rational choice to wait for the mages to figure out something before embarking on the Draenor adventure of the Knight King.
Yes, Carlos never considered Chromie as an option from the beginning.
To others, Chromie is a mysterious and powerful bronze dragon boss.
But Carlos stubbornly believed that these girls were unreliable.
Let's leave it to Khadgar.
Carlos calculated that by the time he was freed from Lordaeron's affairs, the preliminary preparations would be almost complete.
Leaving aside the incident of pressing the Dark Portal, there were quite a few people returning with Carlos.
Including Turalyon, the returning regiment composed of a large number of senior generals kept joking and laughing along the way. A large number of soldiers also had to go back to their respective homes. These soldiers who had fought for the alliance for several years should breathe a sigh of relief.
Alleria stubbornly wanted to stay, but after being persuaded by Carlos and Turalyon in turn, she also figured it out and planned to return to Quel'Thalas to report on her work, while also fooling some fans.
More than half of the top generals of the entire alliance left the front line and embarked on their return home.
At this time, not even Silver Moon City, not even the Grand Mage of the High Elves, dared to claim that his teleportation spell was 100% reliable. It is a joke that so many key members of the Alliance take the portal to return to Lordaeron.
Even if the safety and reliability are 99%, if there is an accident, everyone will be dead.
Taking into account the high cost, the large army marched all the way north along the passage they came from, which was really spectacular.
After more than a month of stop and go, they finally arrived at Ironforge. The triumphant Alliance army was warmly entertained by the Bronzebeard dwarves.
The residents of Ironforge, who had basically resumed production and life, warmly entertained the heroes with barbecue and beer.
The party lasted for a whole week.
Just as everyone was saying goodbye, a piece of news came, which shattered the festive atmosphere.
"The tribe is back."
The trolls of Tastingo are indeed more adaptable to jungle combat than humans, which even the rangers of the high elves cannot compare to.
To be honest, the troll's exaggerated physical abilities make many snakes, ants, and poisonous insects that are deadly to humans and even high elves just snacks in front of the troll.
These badmoss trolls who have returned to civilized society are equipped with sophisticated armor, use reliable weapons, and have sufficient supplies.
In one month, a terrain survey with a radius of one hundred miles around the Dark Portal in the world of Draenor has been completed, which is extremely efficient.
During this period, the trolls encountered the orc scouts of the Blood Cave Clan more than once, and both sides suffered casualties.
After Gotajin raided a small orc stronghold, he captured an important piece of information. He did not dare to delay and quickly reported it to Danaus Trollbane.
Danaus Trollbane immediately organized a capable reconnaissance force to cooperate with the trolls to confirm.
Now, the intelligence, backed by ample evidence, has been confirmed.
The orcs did not give up on themselves and gave up on the Dark Portal.
Kilrogg and Ner'zhul did not give up on themselves.
The orcs, or tribes, have conquered several ogre clans in the past few months when the alliance has been studying the Dark Portal, and formed an army with ogres as the main force. This ogre army is marching towards the darkness. The door opens.
"Ogre?"
After Magni learned this information, he was a little confused.
After all, in the Orgrim era, in the orc tribe that ravaged Azeroth, ogres were just slaves, death squads, useful cranes and porters, and they were few in number.
However, the war has been going on for so many years, and the orcs who stayed in Draenor have not been idle. The ogres who once used the orcs as slaves have been defeated steadily by the tribe's counterattack.
"How many are there?"
After Turalyon carefully read the brief information, he asked Carlos.
"I don't know more than you. But if the information is correct, the number will be... all over the mountains and plains."
Carlos couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose.
"Everyone, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back for the time being."
Carlos sighed.
