News of the great changes in the city of Lordaeron spread quickly as a large number of refugees fled.
If you think about it carefully, the Lich King was slowed down by the Argent Dawn after all.
This year is a famine year, and the entire south has a bad harvest.
A year earlier or later, the plague food spread out of Lordaeron alone would have been enough to support an army of hundreds of thousands.
Unfortunately there is no if.
In the face of famine, Lordaeron's big grain merchants cut back on their grain sources, and Carlos spent a lot of energy to clear the channels to ensure that the dwarves and gnomes would not suffer from famine.
When the supply cannot increase and countless people are watching, the cost of doing things is too high.
Therefore, years of famine are not conducive to the spread of the plague, because everyone takes food too seriously.
Can't fight without the Plague Scourge?
If you don’t have this argument, just give it a hard fight.
The fall of Lordaeron provided hundreds of thousands of troops for the Scourge.
This is a huge force.
Under the watchful eye of their master, Arthas and the other death knights prepared their equipment for battle, using the quickest way to expand their combat power.
Just for Dalaran across Lake Lordamre.
Unlike Kil'jaeden the Deceiver, Archimonde the Defiler, although violent, has a first-rate reputation.
After escaping Draenor and falling into Kil'jaeden's trap, Ner'zhul's soul was tortured for a long time.
It was also this period of torture by the Burning Legion that gave Ner'zhul the most intuitive understanding of the Legion.
It was also an unbearable experience that made the Lich King naturally betray his "master" Kil'jaeden and throw himself into the arms of his "new master" Archimonde without hesitation.
Open the gate to greet Archimonde.
It is far more important than hunting down civilians and massacring Lordaeron.
In other words, more Scourge soldiers are created just to better serve the polluters.
From this point of view, although Kil'jaeden does things similar to Archimonde, he is too failed as a person.
At least Ner'zhul had never shown such great initiative when doing things for the Deceiver.
Now that the strategy is formulated, all that remains is execution.
It will take at least three days to digest the results of Lordaeron City.
It will take at least half a month to repair the Naxxramas power furnace destroyed by Carlos Barov.
So what do you rely on to attack Dalaran?
Of course it's Kel'Thuzad.
The purpose was not to attack Dalaran, but to seize the magic items that were looted by the Kirin Tor for various reasons during the Second Orc War.
Such as the Book of Medivh.
The guardian Medivh, who was originally controlled by the soul fragment of the fallen titan Sargeras, used this magical item to open the Dark Portal connecting Azeroth and Draenor.
Likewise, the Lich King can also use the Book of Medivh to open a way for Archimonde to come to Azeroth.
For this reason, even chasing the old enemy Carlos Barov is not that important anymore.
As long as Archimonde comes to Azeroth again, all the struggles of this planet will be in vain.
Time is running out.
Although he used an ingenious plan to hide the truth, he mobilized all the power accumulated by the Undead Scourge in Northrend to attack the city of Lordaeron in one fell swoop.
But the Lich King does not believe that the Scourge can fully confront the Alliance in the Eastern Kingdoms.
The Kingdom of Alterac is still there, and Carlos Barov's army is encircling the orcs in Arathi, and there is no need for more war mobilization.
The main force of the Kingdom of Lordaeron still exists. Warmaster Uther Lightbringer and his main force of the Knights of the Silver Hand are fighting the orcs in the Burning Plains.
Although War King Magni Bronzebeard has never wielded his war hammer since the Second Orc War, Ironforge, which has been recuperating for more than 20 years, cannot be ignored.
Even because of Carlos, the dwarves still owed him a favor for the food crisis.
As for Stormwind City being too far away, there is no need to consider it for the time being.
If the Alliance comes around, hundreds of thousands of skeleton soldiers really won't be enough to kill them.
It can only be said that Carlos's efforts over the years have not been in vain. The alliance he worked hard for may have the strongest confidence among all world lines when it is persecuted by the undead natural disaster.
That's assuming the league comes around.
Because of Arthas' betrayal, Lordaeron's domestic military system has essentially collapsed, and the largest kingdom in the Alliance has fallen into disorder and chaos.
Even many people in Lordaeron simply did not believe that such a huge change had occurred in the city of Lordaeron, thinking it was a cheap and malicious joke.
But the flight of hundreds of thousands of refugees cannot be faked.
The city of Lordaeron must have indeed suffered.
When Uther got the news, it was already five days after the great changes in Lordaeron.
After destroying a Blackstone Orc fortress, Lightbringer sat on the Orc sandbox and blocked urgent letters over and over again.
again and again.
"grown ups?"
Uther's lieutenant noticed something strange in his expression and asked in a low voice.
"Gather the personnel, send orders to the entire army, and prepare to retreat."
"yes."
Uther calmed down and added.
"Send people to draft the document and send it to Menethil Port quickly, so that they can prepare ships. Lordaeron needs us."
"As commanded."
It was not that he doubted the loyalty of the Knights of the Silver Hand, but Uther decided to hide the news for the time being.
The choice of the Warmaster cannot be said to be right or wrong. After all, the threat of the Blackstone Orcs has not been eliminated. It is not a good choice to shake the morale of the army.
The War King's rage is much more straightforward.
After all, he is the biggest otaku in Ironforge, and the speed of magical communication is far faster than that of griffins.
Magni Bronzebeard was extremely sad and angry after learning that Carlos's own life or death was uncertain against the enemy.
"When Ironforge was in trouble, it was Lordaeron, Alterac, Stromgarde, Gilneas, Dalaran, and the comrades of the Alliance who stood up to support us. Now you actually want me to calm down? What is far away is not the distance, but the hearts of the people! Today, something happened in the city of Lordaeron, and we dwarves did not move because we were too far away. So when we dwarves also have problems, who will support us?"
The great craftsman responded to the dwarf king's call immediately.
The truth is so right.
Although the comfortable life has weakened the Bronzebeard clan's will to fight, dwarves are dwarves, and the War King is still the War King.
Under Magni's insistence, Ironforge's reaction efficiency was even faster than Uther's.
It's just that these are distant waters and cannot relieve the near fire.
When Antonidas was under siege in Dalaran, he reluctantly deployed an arcane barrier to seal the city.
The main force of Alterac and Thrall's orc tribe are still facing off in Arathi.
Times make heroes. At this time, the largest mobile force on the continent of Lordaeron was actually the Brill garrison led by Garithos.
Brill, the source of conflict between House Barov and House Menethil.
Brill, Carlos's betrothal gift for making peace with his old father-in-law.
Brill is the largest town east of Lordaeron.
Brill, Carlos Barov's lucky place.
After storming the city wall to open a way of survival for the people of the East City District, Carlos fell into a coma from exhaustion.
While the other Lordaeron defenders were waiting to die, Brill's defenders came upstream and snatched Kalos from the Scourge.
Because the general of this garrison was named Garisses, who was once a soldier under Carlos.
This is probably karma.
