Chapter 283 The War of Protection and Survival

Medivh and Lin Xuan did not explain the information they received. After saying goodbye to King Ryan, Medivh hurriedly returned to the Tower of Karazan. He did not reveal too much information. He just said that he needed to go back to the Tower of Karazan to check some information. However, this time Kadga keenly noticed a difference.

In the past, after every return from Medivh went out, he had to soak the magic pool to restore his lost magic power. Taking a person through hundreds of kilometers is nothing for Medivh. But according to his previous habits, he would still reply. This is a mage who is used to keeping himself at the peak. But this time it did not. He locked himself in a secret room very rarely, and it seemed that he had recovered his magic power through meditation.

The magic pool of Karazan Tower contains almost endless magic power, and is the magic object that every mage dreams of. It is only at the bursting point of this magic tide that is twisted in time and space. However, Medivh, who has always been extremely dependent on this, suddenly quit the magic pool.

Kadega didn't know what this meant, but he secretly kept it in his heart. And in the days that followed, Kadega gradually made other abnormal discoveries. For example, the number of times Medivh left the Tower of Kalazan was significantly less. His mental state was better than before. Although his consciousness was still unclear, it had improved.

All these changes came from the trip to Stormwind City. Sometimes Kadega couldn't help but think that something seemed to have happened in Stormwind City that he didn't know, and these things made some changes happen to Medivh. Fortunately, at present, Medivh's many changes are in a kind of benign way, so Kadega just kept it in his heart and did not think deeply.

In Storm City, some major events are also brewing. A large number of ordnance warehouses have been opened, and countless gunpowder and arrows have been transported to special locations. A large number of soldiers have begun to assemble, and they are fully armed and ready for a certain level of war.

"We have gathered an army of more than 30,000 people. This is already more than 30% of the regular army in Stormwind City. If there are less than 300 people in the camp you mentioned, these troops are enough." Luosa was extremely dissatisfied with Lin Xuan's request for Zeng Bing, and believed that he underestimated the army under his command.

"I don't mean to belittle your army, General Lothar. In fact, the current army is enough to wipe out the opponent's vanguard army. But one thing I need to remind you is that the opponent is not an enemy in the conventional sense you encountered before. They are brand new species from another world. They have personal force stronger than your strongest knights. So if you don't want to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of them, be as prepared as possible."

"Okay, I'll send another thousand more people. In addition, some monks from the Holy Light Cathedral will also go out with the army. They have good healing abilities."

"That would be better."

The Dark Gate of Azeroth is located in the easternmost part of the Storm Kingdom. It is already adjacent to the border and is in an undeveloped primitive forest area. However, a large area of ​​clearings have been cut down around the Dark Gate. Rough wooden houses appear here, which is already a camp for the orcs. More than 200 orcs are expanding their camp here, preparing to welcome the next army of orcs.

Orcs are all natural warriors, but as safari races, they only use some war skills more than talent and experience. Azeroth has nurtured the current civilization based on countless wars. In some details, they are still much stronger.

Several beast soldiers on the periphery only felt a pain in their necks. When they reached out and touched them, they felt a very thin bamboo stick pierced into their skin. He didn't even care what was going on. He just looked around in confusion and then continued to doze there. But this dozing made him really sleep. The powerful anesthetic agent prepared by the alchemist in Stormwind City was quite effective. Unfortunately, the cost was extremely high, and only those elite scouts were qualified to use it.

Thousands of human troops slowly approached the camp of the beast tribe from all directions. Most orcs did not notice it, but there were not only orcs in the camp, but also the giant wolf they tamed. The senses of these beasts were much stronger than those of the orcs. A giant wolf suddenly looked up and began to look around with vigilance. The wolf cavalry who tamed him immediately stood up. They were partners, and he knew very well what the movements of the giant wolf meant.

A loud roar came from his mouth. This was also the orcs used to send messages. The entire orcs instantly entered a state of tension. At the same time, the human soldiers who were already close enough issued an order to attack.

In an instant, countless soldiers rushed out from the surrounding Lin. The soldiers holding shields in their left hand and dwarf muskets in their right hand came a wave of volleys before the short-term battles were met. Whether they hit the opponent or not, they would put away the muskets and draw their swords to charge. Overall style is considered an extremely mature military.

The musket did not bring the expected killing effect. Because this time I was facing a real army, not the last light-deployed scout. These beast soldiers all had some simple leather armor on their bodies. At that distance, coupled with the orcs' strong body, the lethality of the musket became extremely limited. Of course, the special version of the musket in Anduinlosa's hand was not necessarily the case. Lin Xuan clearly saw that he shot a hole in the chest of an orc wearing leather armor.

Thousands of human soldiers wearing silver armor collided with hundreds of green-skinned beast soldiers. Looking from a distance, it was like a silver torrent crashing into a green torrent. Although the orcs were small, they were actually not weak at all. They launched a charge at the enemy who was ten times more than ten times more without hesitation.

There was a loud noise, mixed with screams from people, collision of metals, and tearing of limbs. The two sides finally collided. In an instant, flesh and blood flew across the sky, and broken limbs and arms were flying all over the sky. Since most orcs used heavy weapons, maces and giant axes, no matter which one, when they encountered human soldiers, even if they were protected by armor, they would lose part of their bodies. The tragic level of the war made Hermione, a girl who thought she had experienced the battlefield, look pale.

She couldn't help but want to come forward to help, but found that her magic had failed. Because Lin Xuan, who was standing by, stopped her.

"I can protect myself, I can help."

"I know you can help. But I want to ask, which side are you going to help?"

"Of course I'm helping the human side." Hermione looked for granted.

"Why?"

"Why?" Hermione didn't expect Lin Xuan to ask this, but she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Do you know why orcs attack this world?"

"Because their world is going to be destroyed." Hermione was stunned after saying that. Yes, according to this statement, orcs are actually those who should be sympathized with, after all, they are just a group of exiles.

"But you have always been on the side of humans before. And we are also humans." It seems that Lin Xuan's previous actions made Hermione have a wrong understanding.

"Do you think I'm on the side of human beings? Wrong, I'm just standing opposite to something. In fact, I don't like to see the fight between humans and beasts. Because you and I know what the war between them is for? Finally, there is another thing you have to remember that we are humans, but we are even more outsiders."

"Then let's tell them. Let them join forces to deal with those..." Hermione did not say that name. Because Lin Xuan had long told them not to say those related names under any circumstances.

"Why join forces? Based on the stories I told them? This is a race war. Orcs must expand to the outside world in order to survive. Humans must fight to the end for their own homes. This is an irreconcilable contradiction in itself. In fact, once the war begins, neither side will sit down and listen to my story. The inertia of war will drive the two sides to fight continuously and never end. This is a war of protection and survival. At least for each other now."

"But there are so many no-man's land here, just give up a piece of land. The Storm Kingdom never thought about developing these lands."

"This is indeed the ideal solution. But you have to know that this is not a communication between two people, or even two countries, but two races. Do you know what will happen after the collision of two different races? There is only one answer, that is, only one can survive. If you can't figure it out, think about the examples on earth." Lin Xuan paused for a moment and continued.

"I have been to many worlds, whether humans, orcs, or even gods, all intelligent life groups have one common characteristic. That is, they will completely destroy their competitors and then monopolize all resources. At the beginning of human birth, more than one Homo sapiens appeared. But in the end, only one continued and finally became a modern human. The rest were destroyed by this wise race. This is even a battle that only saw the same race."

"But they have a common enemy?"

"Who knows?"

"Teacher, you can tell King Ryan that he is a wise monarch and will understand you."

"Maybe, but war cannot be stopped unilaterally. King Ryan can order the attack to stop, but the orcs will not think so. As that said, not everyone was bewitched. Someone among the orcs must have noticed something. But under such a general trend, the sober one is the most dangerous."

"Then do nothing, are we watching them fight each other?"

"Yes, we just stand here and watch them fight. You must know that war requires bloodshed. When there is enough bloodshed, there will always be people who can't bear it. At that time, maybe they can sit down and listen to my story."

Although the Orcs were extremely brave, they could not fight against ten in the elite troops of Stormwind City. The balance of war quickly turned to the side of humans.

As the number of beast soldiers continues to decrease, the human encirclement is also constantly compressing. The only remaining orcs know that they have been defeated and start to try to break through. You must know that once the encirclement shrinks to a certain level, they will even lose the chance of breaking through.

Losa was an excellent commander, and he could not have expected his opponent's breakthrough.

Dozens of orc warriors broke through the gap. The human soldiers around did not pursue them, because they knew that the cavalry behind would encircle them. But this time the cavalry was disappointing. Because the dozens of orc soldiers suddenly became extremely brave, not like wounded soldiers after a fierce battle. And the most important thing is that all the entire cavalry regiment had a series of problems. First, a cavalry did not control their own war horses, which led to the shouts of the war horses exposing their position in advance.

You should know that this is a dense forest and mountainous area. It is not friendly to the cavalry. Therefore, they did not participate in the war head-on, but only supported the situation on the periphery. However, due to the early exposure, they failed to play a surprise attack. During the pursuit, several war horses were injured by the rugged mountains, which greatly hindered the pursuit process. In the end, they watched more than a dozen orcs run into the depths of the dense forest and disappear.

There was already a place where war horses could not set foot. In fact, even infantrymen were difficult to penetrate into the primitive jungle. The infantry in Stormwind City was not as proficient in jungle warfare. On the contrary, the orcs were all top hunters, and they were like fish in water in the jungle, and they disappeared in a short while.

But in the hurry, the human soldiers did not notice that the orcs who escaped were all flesh-colored skins, not those green-skinned guys. Moreover, there was a simple sign on the skins on their bodies, a white wolf head. This meant that they belonged to a special tribe, the Frost Wolf clan.

A small-scale battle ended. But the follow-up problems really began to appear in piles. The first is the Dark Gate. There is no good way to destroy the Dark Gate at this stage.

The entire Dark Gate contains endless huge green energy. Everyone who tries to destroy it will be eroded by it. And according to Medivh, if the forbidden spell-level magic is used to forcibly destroy the Dark Gate, the evil energy in it will explode unstoppably. At that time, the entire Storm Kingdom will face the danger of being completely eroded.

It is impossible to destroy it, so you can only station troops to control it. But this faces a very complicated problem. It is too far from Stormwind City. It takes more than three days for the cavalry scouts to return to Stormwind City. In this way, it will cause a huge burden on the logistics.

You should know that if you want to completely control the Dark Gate, you need at least the guards of thousands of soldiers. In fact, once the orcs invade in full, tens of thousands of people are not necessarily enough. Although Stormwind City is rich, it is impossible to let thousands of elite soldiers drawn from all over the place be stationed here, which is always in a state of war.

Now is not the era of alliances. Although the Storm Kingdom is rich, this burden is still a bit too heavy. Unless the entire Storm Kingdom enters a state of full preparation for war and implements wartime regulations. However, in that case, you cannot explain to your own people. Because you have no idea when the opponent will appear next. Wartime regulations cannot be implemented without restrictions.
