If the plague is spread among refugees and then deliberately allowed to escape, wouldn't it cause greater harm to humanity?
The Lich King understands the truth, but it refuses to do so.
Because it's too slow.
My Scourge is already so powerful, why waste time doing these inefficient things.
ten thousand years is too long, fight for now.
In just five days, the city of Lordaeron, the pearl of the human world, has become like a purgatory.
The dead were called back to the world by necromancy, and the souls imprisoned in the broken bodies were in agony. Even the freedom of thought was restricted by the power of shadow.
The 400,000-strong Scourge Legion was quickly formed, and subsequent replenishments were endless.
The materials accumulated by the city of Lordaeron over the past century have all become the tonic for the undead natural disaster to strengthen its force.
After a brief silence, the Scourge Legion launched a full-scale attack.
It's a weird orgy.
The Lich King fulfilled its promise, and those humans who surrendered to the Scourge gained "immortal" life. In their twisted posture, they raised their butcher's knives against their former compatriots like evil ghosts who were scheming for the tiger.
We will do things that the Lich King disdains to do, and we will do things that the Death Knights will not do. We know ourselves and our enemies, and are experts in civil war. This is the Cult of the Damned.
With a huge strength advantage, the Scourge Legion attacked on two fronts and advanced east and west.
This time, micromanager Ner'zhul gave up full line control because there were more important things taking its attention.
Summon Archimonde.
After obtaining the Book of Medivh, Ner'zhul immediately contacted Kel'Thuzad and carefully studied the summoning ritual.
The results were less than promising.
If you want to bring a strong man like Archimonde to Azeroth, even if you have an artifact like the Book of Medivh as a key to open the door, the amount of magic required is still astronomical.
In response, Kel'Thuzad proposed a plan - to use the power of the Sunwell to summon Archimonde.
The existence of the Sunwell was a secret that the high elves of Quel'Thalas had hidden for centuries, but to a wizard like Kel'Thuzad, it was no secret at all.
In ancient times, Queen Azshara used the power of the Well of Eternity to summon Sargeras to come, so now it seems natural to use the power of the Sunwell to summon Archimonde.
It is true that the power of the Sunwell is far from comparable to that of the Well of Eternity.
But Archimonde is not Sargeras after all, so there seems to be no problem if the ranks are matched.
The principle of the summoning ritual seems to be clear, but its implementation is extremely cumbersome and complicated.
This requires a lot of time and effort.
It is precisely because the Scourge Legion has a more important mission of summoning Archimonde.
The refugees in Lordaeron were able to survive.
The tribe led by Thrall was keenly aware of the anomalies in the Alterac army. After a beautiful counterattack, the orcs escaped from the encirclement, attacked Tol Barad, robbed a large number of ships, and headed for the unknown ocean. .
Stromgarde was full of complaints about the defeat of the Alterac army, but Carlos's subordinates silently endured the criticism and withdrew their troops in disgrace.
The upper-level officers got the hint before Carlos left, but for the majority of the grassroots soldiers, the defeat in the battle against the orcs was a huge blow to morale.
The 70,000-strong army of the Kingdom of Alterac retreated very slowly.
After all, the front line was spread too far before. On the one hand, gathering troops to recover supplies, but also on the one hand, the deterioration of relations with Stromgarde, and the interruption of supplies in Lordaeron, all hindered the withdrawal.
Moreover, Carlos has no way to mobilize troops from Alterac by exchanging coins.
For example, 70,000 people were first mobilized from Alterac, and then the 70,000 people stranded in Arathi Highlands were brought back to the country to fill the vacancies.
Because pure numbers are meaningless, Alterac's elite soldiers and generals are all in the Arathi Highlands, and they are all deployed together to fight the orcs.
Right now, this army with low morale is Alterac's strongest military force.
It cannot be compared by just recruiting the same amount of militiamen.
Without them, Carlos did not have the confidence to go head-on with the Scourge.
At the same time, Thrall's attack on the port to seize ships indirectly tricked Uther.
It is impossible to take the Saldo Bridge. The long land maneuver and the supply environment of the wetland can drag down the expeditionary force alive.
Don't forget, there is a food shortage in the south.
Uther wanted to go back but couldn't, Carlos's army couldn't move quickly, and Stromgarde's cavalry didn't like anyone.
If Gilneas hadn't been there, the Hillblade region would have suffered badly.
If Ner'zhul had been micromanaging it himself, he would most likely have ignored Gilneas's seclusion and directly ordered the undead army to march westward into Silverpine Forest and then go south to wreak havoc on Hillbrad.
However, the Lich King, who has delegated power, is now only responsible for the general strategy and devotes all his energy to the complex magical rituals to summon Archimonde.
So the Undead Scourge ran headlong into Greymane's Wall.
Greymane Wall was a politically humiliating defeat as a sign of Gilneas' withdrawal from the Alliance and its isolation.
But as a permanent fortification to protect Gilneas, Greymane Wall actually played its role.
The solid and towering city walls combined with the steep mountains made the overwhelming numerical advantage of the Scourge legions marching westward seem cumbersome and useless.
But without the personal command of Ner'zhul, the undead army is essentially mindless and unhappy.
Fight, just fight hard.
The army gathered in Silverpine Forest to fight against the Greymane Wall. The stupid strategic choice of the Scourge's westward marching force gave the humans of Hillsbrad precious time to respond.
As the main battlefield during the Second Orc War, Hillsbrad was the Alliance region that suffered the most damage.
Correspondingly, the residents of Hillsbrad are also the most bloody Alliance people who are most wary of war disasters.
While other places were still confused and doubtful about the great changes in Lordaeron, the people of Hillsbrad had responded to Tarren Mir's call and began to transform into militiamen.
By the time Ner'zhul discovered that the Scourge was wasting too much time at Greymane Wall, and directly ordered the Legion to give up attacking Gilneas and turn south, the best opportunity for invasion had been missed.
This series of events preserved a great deal of human energy.
After all, if Hillsbrad is lost, Alterac will just die.
Compared with the decadent situation of the Scourge Legion that marched westward due to the wrong choice of strategic targets, the eastward marching troops led by Arthas were like ruthless razors, completing the vast area east of Lordaeron in a very short period of time. The killing purge.
Next, there is Chen Bing Barrier Pass.
Dalaran has lost the ability to take the initiative and dispatch a force to take the water route to bypass the barrier pass and attack from both sides. The defenders of the barrier pass will be defeated.
Alsace understood the truth, but the undead natural disasters were so powerful, why did they do all these fancy things?
Alsace chose face A and went up.
