In the direction of Tarren Mill, an army of more than 20,000 people was already ready. South of Thoradin's Wall, there were also 5,000 rangers ready to block the pass.
Due to the special national conditions and special environment, the Kingdom of Alterac has maintained a very high army number in proportion to its population for more than ten years, which has seriously consumed the Barov family's assets while also providing alternative conveniences.
Such as now.
Even in Lordaeron, it is not easy for Carlos' old father-in-law Terenas to mobilize 25,000 people.
After all, in peacetime, the standing army of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, with a population of over two million, was only over 70,000. With the addition of special combat units such as prison guards and tax collectors, the ratio of twenty civilians to one soldier was basically maintained.
Pretty healthy.
But Alterante was different.
Alterac in the Eden era was a typical small country with few people and a self-proclaimed king. Although it has a vast territory, it chose to build its capital in a place with high mountains and mountains that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Then Carlos came on stage.
Carlos must thank his old father, the regent Grand Duke Alex Barov, and by the way praise the backward political inheritance of mankind.
Grand Duke Alex was very political and was able to maintain the Barov family's rule over Alterac even after Carlos had been missing for ten years, and even left the illusory crown in Alterac.
However, such a man with extraordinary skills was unable to find a second way out for the country.
Therefore, everything in the Kingdom of Alterac is advancing steadily under Carlos's vision.
It’s not that Carlos’s charisma can make people miss him for a whole ten years, but it’s that there is no second person in the country who can design the national framework.
The more intense Terenas' pressure became, the more solid Carlos' plan to stay in Alterac became.
When the old father-in-law finally realized this and wanted to be gentle, Carlos came back with a desperate intention.
This has created an established fact - Alterac supports an army of more than 100,000 people, purely human troops, with a population of more than 800,000 and definitely less than 900,000.
If you include the Trolls and Orcs, the number of troops under Carlos' control can even reach 150,000.
This is a terrifying number.
It was the snow-capped mountains of the Alterac Plateau and the deep valleys of Keldaron that concealed this fact, preventing the allies from being surprised.
So 25,000 people were mobilized at home to contain the orcs' possible escape. Carlos didn't even need to be there in person. The generals in Alterac were not so swollen that they thought they could do something with an army of 20,000 people. .
There are still six armies of my size in the country...
In Carlos' script, the orcs were supposed to awaken the people's fear of war.
Although the new generation of young people has grown up, their parents have not yet aged. Under the nagging and sticks of their parents, the entire social atmosphere will change.
Perhaps this is the fate of European and American style. The cohesion of a race must be established under external threats.
To put it another way, there must be an enemy, even an imaginary enemy.
Orcs are undoubtedly useful as slaves.
However, just treating the orcs as slaves, even if they are enslaved for a hundred years, cannot make up for the harm caused to humans by the orc war. As the generation that had not experienced war began to make their voices heard, even the second generation of powerful people like Arthas and Jaina were full of sympathy for the orcs in the detention center, and the social cost of driving orc slaves began to rise.
Moreover, the darkness of human nature has also spawned a series of orc slave industry chains. Human beings are in it, and there is no great honor at all. Behind the interests are only dirty and innocent blood.
Carlos couldn't help but start to reflect on the choice made by the Bronze Dragon, and compared it with the path of the King of Steel, and became more and more eager for Velen's arrival.
Azeroth is huge, but the human world is small. Perhaps only this former king of the eredar can understand his distress.
Giving the orcs freedom and setting up a target was the best way Carlos could think of to increase cohesion while maintaining the current size of the alliance.
But there is a red line that must not be crossed, and that is the alliance's superior armed forces.
If it's intact, let the invaders respect themselves. If it's messed up, they'll be sinners through the ages.
So although Carlos was in Lordaeron, he turned his attention to Hilbrad.
Although Tirion Fordring disagreed with Carlos' plan and thought it was too risky, he still chose to obey when no one objected.
Saidan Dathrohan, as the first person responsible, is always paying attention to the actions of the orcs.
Orgrim's intuition was not wrong. The orcs' current victory was no different from The Truman World.
Although Orgrim didn't know Truman.
"Spartacus, what does your master want?"
After receiving the latest batch of aid, Orgrim couldn't help but wonder.
"Probably, it's an enemy."
The campfire and smoke in the distance made the Iron Masked Sword Master distracted. Even his eyesight was unable to observe the rescued compatriots across such a long distance.
But the strange emotions inside are real.
Orgrim is actually taking action, and Spartacus doesn't hate him so much anymore.
"Why?"
Orgrim couldn't understand. Could it be that humans have become so arrogant?
If it weren't for Gul'dan's betrayal, the humans in Lordaeron would have been imprisoned by the orcs in detention centers as slaves.
Orgrim believed that if he were the winner, he would also make the same decision as Terenas.
Allowing the orcs to rise, the king of Alterac is so confident and arrogant.
"Maybe it's because of loneliness. Carlos Barov's mind and vision are something that even you couldn't match back then."
I felt in my heart that Spartacus's words were a bit redundant and revealed something that should not be revealed.
Orgrim pretended not to understand and was a little annoyed.
After wiping out all the detention centers in the southern part of Hillsbrad Hills, Orgrim gathered more than 20,000 orcs.
However, excluding the old, young, sick and weak, there are less than 5,000 available troops.
Relying on these forces, it is impossible to break away from Carlos' control.
"here."
Orgrim punched the map hard.
"There are at least three thousand orc miners in this mine. Liberating them will increase our military strength by half. If we capture this mine, we will be qualified to challenge Durnholde Castle."
"I'll go with you."
Thrall nodded heavily.
"No, you continue to prepare the team. It's just a mine. You don't need too many troops. Five hundred people are enough."
Orgrim rejected Thrall's offer.
The time given by humans is running out, and Orgrim must hurry up and strengthen himself.
