"What are we trying to do by going over the mountains to that Darrow County?"
"For the food there."
"How much food is there?"
"Enough to feed local residents for a year."
"Just for this?"
"It's probably enough to feed His Majesty's 100,000 troops for two months."
"Oh, no problem then."
A troll and an orc were conversing in the common language of the Alliance, but the content was not so harmonious.
Darrow County is being invaded by the Scourge, and there is basically no possibility of holding it. Carlos asked Gota Jin to take two thousand trolls and a thousand orcs from Caer Darrow directly over the mountains to Darrow County... Grab food.
To be honest, there may be a lot of food in Darrow County, but it really doesn't mean much to Alterac.
But Carlos could not ask the trolls and orcs to provide unconditional humanitarian relief. This was basically equivalent to using their lives to fill the holes in Darrow County.
Perhaps Gouda Jin would satisfy Carlos if he made such a request, but this would be equivalent to opening an irreparable rift between trolls and humans.
But to put it another way, everyone can accept it.
There is no shame in begging for food.
The Kingdom of Alterac is already a huge behemoth to the current Hinterlands trolls. Zinzaro, which has not yet recovered from the civil war, has only a little over 30,000 trolls in total. Adding in other settlements, it is as big as the sky. Sixty thousand or seventy thousand, not even as many as the orcs imprisoned on the Alterac Plateau.
So when Carlos told Gota Jin that he was now burdened with two million mouths to eat, the troll leader, who had no idea what this was, did not resist Carlos's order to go to Darrow County to grab food.
There is really no shame in begging for food.
And trolls are no stranger to Darrowshire.
Don’t forget the original purpose of the old house of the Barov family, the Lakeside Castle of Keldaron.
Isn't it just to guard against the invasion of northern trolls?
Daron County has been an important part of the Troll Empire since ancient times.
There is food in stock in Dalong County, so Gou Ta Jin is not surprised at all.
The emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers.
The enemy this time was different from before. A thousand people were drawn from the orcs and handed over directly to Gota Jin. Carlos also took the trolls to visit his large handicraft factory and armed them.
Then he kicked into the mountains of Keldaron.
In fact, it was the orcs who held the trolls back.
In terms of physical fitness, orcs and trolls may be comparable, but in terms of endurance, trolls are still stronger.
If the orcs hadn't been unable to hold on and rested for two nights, the trolls would have arrived in Dalon County long ago.
But Gou Ta Jin didn't dare to settle accounts with these fools.
That is a race that can survive in the forest and snow fields of Alterac and actually has a tendency to multiply and grow. This is something that trolls really can't compare to.
Contrary to what many people imagined, after Carlos disappeared, Alex did not follow the example of other kingdoms and use the orcs as serfs. Because the Grand Duke Regent never believed in the orc slave traders’ theory that orcs were harmless.
The targets that Alterac received from the Alliance were imprisoned in the forest and snowy fields, and controlled by the brainwashing program invented by his son. The orc war criminals and descendants of Alterac did not become serfs, but instead embarked on the path of lumberjacks and miners.
This further deepened Grand Duke Alex's fear of orcs.
Because instead of being defeated by the cold, this group of orcs multiplied and grew stronger.
According to some old orcs, although the snowfields of Alterac are not as good as the colorful world below the mountains, they are much better than Draenor.
The Frostwolf clan praised him.
Relying on logging, mining, and working in exchange for work points, beating wild animals to grow potatoes and winter barley, the new generation of orcs did not feel that life was hard, but they just believed that they were responsible for the defeat of their fathers... This was unfair.
Therefore, as long as the war criminals are thoroughly liquidated, it only takes one generation to reform the orcs' thinking.
At least the orcs around Goota Jin are active members of the alliance.
In other words, trolls and orcs are a perfect match. The two races are unexpectedly in harmony.
After crossing the mountains of Keldalon and Daron County, Goota Jin was not in a hurry to grab food.
From Alterac to Keldaron, half a circle around Keldaron Lake and into the mountains, everyone was tired after wandering around in the mountains for so many days.
So Gou Ta Jin thought it would be better to rest for half a day.
And he also had to think about how to complete the task that Carlos assigned him.
In recent years, the information that Alterac had "enslaved" a troll was no longer news. Anyway, the orcs were doing farm work in the fields, and it was not unusual for trolls to run away from caravans.
But Gou Ta Jin didn't think that if he stood in front of the village sage from Dalong County and winked, the other person would treat him as a brother.
How to "grab" food is a bit troublesome.
In fact, Goota Jin made the same mistake as the residents of Daron County at this time, lacking imagination for things he had never seen before.
The troll leader was completely unaware of the horror of the undead scourge.
Just when Gou Ta Jin was still scratching his head and thinking, a scout suddenly came to report that there were signs of fighting in the northwest and that a large number of humans were fleeing towards the mountains to the east.
Gouta Jin immediately ordered that everyone be dressed up and ready for battle.
The dry food had been almost consumed on the march, and there was no extra baggage to place. The trolls and orcs quickly completed preparations for war.
Then, an army of trolls and orcs wearing Alliance-style armor stepped into the sight of the refugees.
Chased by ghouls behind them, and blocked by trolls and orcs in front of them, the refugees in Darrow County were desperate.
The news quickly reached the ears of Dawei Lefal. Gritting his teeth, the Paladin divided the remaining militia into two again and led his own people to meet them.
The neat military appearance and uniform equipment made the panting David Lefal give up the idea of a desperate charge.
If you really rush forward and don't care, it's called committing suicide rather than committing suicide.
And it's a bit strange, why do the fancy paints on those 90% new armor look so much like the emblem of the alliance?
Where did these trolls and orcs come from!
David Lefal put the war hammer on his waist again, signaled the other militiamen to protect the people from moving, and walked up alone.
Even though he heard the awkward troll language, David Lefal opened his arms to show that he had no hostility.
Why does David Lefal know a few troll words?
Of course it is because the Tustin Gou Mercenary Group purchases a large amount of goods from the Stratholme area every year.
"I speak the Common Tongue, my friend."
In David Lefal's surprised eyes, Gota Jin took out the battle flag with the alliance emblem and the Barov family crest from his back and planted it on the ground.
"According to the order of His Majesty Carlos Barov, I am waiting here to collect food."
