It’s been a while since I’ve experienced such a bloody battle.
Carlos's heart was beating like an imperial engine, and his body, which was slightly stiff due to long-term document work, was trembling with excitement. Every blood vessel was filled with fighting spirit due to his identity and status.
Blood is sacrificed to the blood god, and the skull is sacrificed to the skull throne.
At that moment, Carlos was blessed by Khorne, and the great master of chaos wanted to tell Hakkar that you are worthy of being called the Blood God.
Okay, bullshit.
The situation at that time was that the overpowered troll army rushed out of Stranglethorn Vale regardless of the situation, and the heavily damaged Stormwind army was unable to stop it. Carlos was not guarding the mountain pass to block the road, but wanted to kill the trolls that had spilled into the Dusk Forest. The trolls all drove back.
Not even crazy.
After a long period of dormancy, the trolls of Zul'Gurub finally revealed their ferocious minions, trying to show humans how the troll empire could crush the Aqir and become the first overlord of Azeroth. .
The giant Bat Rider that covered the sky carried flammable and explosive unstable compounds over the mountains, turning the woodland near the mountain pass into a sea of fire; Blood Lord Mandokir led the Velociraptor Riders to launch a fierce attack on the human army; The voodoo spells released by a large number of troll casters are like dark fairy tales, full of bad taste and horror; the chosen warriors blessed by Hakkar are each as strong as two Carloses, and they will explode after death. Deadly poisonous fog.
If it weren't for the Alliance's rapid advancement in technology due to the Undead Scourge, humanity would have fought another battle to defend Stormwind City.
A large number of human heavily armored warriors wore armor so thick that it made chain axes hopeless. They used the clumsiest and thickest array lines to block the impact of the troll cavalry and guarded the road to Night Town. A small number of cavalry successfully bypassed it. In order to survive the troll attack, they successfully blew up the bridge to the Western Wilderness.
When the reorganized artillery rushed to the front line dragging the heavy forty-two-pounder, the Union generalissimo had already replaced the third broken weapon.
Stormwind City is very interested in aerial battleships, but refuses any aerial battleship to approach Stormwind City for thirty kilometers.
So when Carlos waited for air support, the Alliance army had been blown into muggles by Batrider.
Fortunately, the troll's strange behavior touched the sensitive nerves of the Emerald Legion, and the Green Dragon's participation in the battle gave Carlos a chance to breathe.
The trolls' aggression was blind and fanatical, stimulated by victory, without any consideration for the follow-up.
After the most ferocious first wave of offensive failed, Zul'Gurub's army began to retreat.
Carlos was already a little empty-headed at this time.
Who am I, where am I, what the hell did I chop.
The blood god Hakkar does not mind giving a little favor before draining the remaining value of the trolls. The troll vanguards who have taken Hakkar's blood have stronger regeneration capabilities than ordinary trolls, unless they are directly decapitated or Breaking the heart, otherwise fatal injuries to humans and orcs, does not even affect the mobility of these trolls who have shielded themselves from pain.
Carlos really didn't know how he won.
He didn't even know whether he won or not.
The only thing that is certain is that at the campaign level, the alliance failed.
From Lord Gagon of Stormwind City to Carlos Barov, their intelligence and dignity were trampled under the feet of the trolls of Zul'Gurub and the blood god Hakkar on the altar, and they were reduced to rubbish.
But does the league care?
Carlos can blame himself for underestimating the enemy and his mistakes in decision-making, but the alliance's generalissimo and the alliance behind him will never give in.
Strengthen the defense line, deploy additional troops, gather remaining soldiers, and re-plan.
When Alleria told Carlos with a statistical document that the Alliance could confirm that the number of casualties exceeded 120,000, Carlos was speechless for a while.
Of the 100,000 soldiers, less than 20,000 are still organized. The 100,000 civilians have been dispersed due to the long supply lines. Only the construction workers in Stranglethorn Valley suffered heavy casualties.
Subsequently, the guards from Night Town and Lakeside Town were constantly transferred to the mountain pass, almost as a tactic to add fuel to the fire. Nearly 30,000 people died one after another.
In addition to forcing the trolls back to Stranglethorn Vale, the Alliance was defeated no matter how you looked at it.
This defeat almost shook Carlos' authority.
The high walls of Stormwind City are filled with turmoil.
However, the first batch of 30,000 troops that retreated from Pandaria finally told the men of Stormwind City that your uncle Carlos is still the Grand Marshal of the Alliance.
The Trolls of Zinzaro, who had finally reversed their reputation, were ostracized by the locals of Stormwind City because of Zul'Gurub's old cousins who believed in the Blood God.
But they didn't care. After the organized Zinzaro trolls entered the jungle of Stranglethorn Valley, the Alliance's map vision, suppressed by Zul'Gurub's forces, was re-lit.
The situation is not so bad that it is irreversible.
Because Zul'Gurub was not ready to conquer the mainland, their war material reserves were seriously insufficient.
Therefore, Carlos drew a line along the river on the map and strictly ordered the army not to cross the line.
At the same time, Ironforge responded to the Alliance's call, and a large amount of heavy equipment was withdrawn from the warehouse and sent to the south. Since the Second Orc War, the dwarves once again issued a general mobilization order.
In the Lordaeron region, a full twenty standard legions were mobilized to assemble towards Southsea Town, preparing to go to Stormwind City. After weighing the pros and cons, Carlos asked Turayan to once again call back troops from Pandaria.
Carlos did not completely believe in the resurrected Lord Lothar. It was impossible for him to transfer all the main alliance forces in the north to the south.
So Stormwind must fight for itself.
If not, the alliance can also start a civil war.
Because unlike our northern compatriots who faced the undead natural disaster, for our compatriots in the Lordaeron region, it had only been a year and a half since that unprecedented war that killed at least four million people. Although the death of 100,000 people was shocking, it was not It will shake the will to fight.
And the humans in the south...
It’s hard to describe in one word.
Most of the brave ones died in Stranglethorn Vale.
As the troops gathered in Stormwind City one after another, Carlos re-stabilized the situation, but the resistance of Stormwind City itself made it difficult for the alliance to perform.
No confrontation, no cooperation, no opposition, and no support either.
In the Elwynn region, Stormwind City is the absolute political, economic, cultural and military hub.
Stormwind City wants to hinder the front line. No matter how many troops Carlos gathers, it is impossible to win this war.
Countless times, Carlos was so angry that he wanted to issue an extermination order.
However, just when things reached a stalemate, Mark Shore welcomed back King Varian Wrynn of Stormwind City from an island about three hundred nautical miles away from Theramore.
Well, except for postpartum depression, which is about to catch all the diseases, the Kingdom of Storms, who has never been missing, is the leader.
Although the Varian in front of him looked sluggish and cowardly, and when he saw Carlos, he immediately hugged Varian and shouted that his cousin was crying, something seemed wrong, but he was indeed the king of Stormwind City.
With Varian's public appearance and the return of key MI7 agents, the situation in Stormwind City has stabilized again.
While the noble men were busy competing with Mark Shore, no one could stop Carlos, who had Varian's support.
Soon, another 100,000 soldiers and 100,000 civilians were recruited.
The Wrynn royal family is indeed miserable, but the Alliance is really not short of money now.
But even though more than 200,000 troops had been assembled, Carlos still did not dare to launch an attack easily.
The combat effectiveness of an army that has not experienced the baptism of war is really questionable.
Carlos hoped to recruit another hundred thousand men, at least equal to the strength of Zul'Gurub's troll army.
However, the theoretical population of the entire Stormwind Kingdom is 2.6 million, and the actual population is only about 3 million. A total of 400,000 young people have been transferred, which is already a bit strained.
How to fill the gap of one hundred thousand troops?
At the critical moment, Genn Greymane said that I have something to say, please listen to the alliance.
