Chapter 148 The Danger of Stormwind City (Part 1)

Is the Kingdom of Stormwind dying?

This is something that every citizen of Stormwind Kingdom has been discussing in private for the past few months.

The orcs are terrible, and every survivor who survived the catastrophe is pouring out his fears to others.

If it weren't for the shadow of King Llane in dazzling golden armor, who patrols the walls of Stormwind three times a day, perhaps this anxiety would spread endlessly.

Ryan Wrynn, Anduin Lothar, and Bolvar Fordragon, at some point, the three of them have become the backbone of the nation. And looking at the ever-increasing and thickening city walls, seeing the huge and strangely shaped arrow towers and catapult towers that almost grow one layer higher every day, the hearts of the people are finally a little comforted.

Standing on the outer city wall of Stormwind City and looking at the dense forest in the distance for a while, Ryan turned his gaze closer. The original outer walls of Stormwind City have been transformed beyond recognition.

After Leng Shi nearly doubled the thickness of the outer wall with that magical 'cement', the height of the city wall also increased by half. Not only that, there are two more city walls that increase in height on the outside of the outer wall, and two huge hunting spaces are created between the city walls. According to the drawings, this is called the 'urn city'.

The three walls are connected by relatively narrow passages, and only a large iron plate is placed at the key point. There is also a peg next to the iron plate, which is tied to a small pass. As long as a soldier pulls out the peg, or the city wall If someone pulls the chain connecting the peg, the iron plate will fall.

Not only that, but the newly built city walls are also different from the traditional city walls. From the outside it looks like a lot of enigmatic rhombuses.

For this prismatic structure, whether it is Lothar or Bolvar, all officers who have been to the front line say that it can effectively resist the rough but powerful catapults of the orcs.

Behind the three-story outer city wall, there is a huge hexagonal arrow tower rising from the ground. The pointed side faces the outside, and the arrow tower becomes narrower as it goes up. If it weren't for the emergence of a craft called 'inversion molding', this would be incredible.

In addition to the arrow tower, there is a larger turret that can hold several ballistas or a large catapult.

There are so many war machines, just seeing them makes one's heart shudder, and all of these were started after the orcs invaded Elwynn Forest.

"Edwin, are these all Duke's drawings?" Ryan was very satisfied, but still asked the young man next to him with some doubts.

Edwin VanCleef, 28, senior foreman of the Brotherhood of Masons. But now he is employed by Duke, and serves as an engineering supervisor sent by Duke to accompany the king.

"Yes, Your Majesty." At this moment, Van Cleef is far from the later generation who was alienated by a despicable black dragon, persecuted by the nobles of Stormwind, and then rose up to form the "Defias Brotherhood" to occupy the town of Moonbrook in the Westfall, and turn the mines there Transform into the Deadmines and raid any Stormwind citizen against the evil faction bosses of Stormwind's regime.

At this time, Edwin Van Cleef was at his most passionate and upright age.

He was flattered when Macaro found him with Duke's orders.

Marcaro is the 'big steward' of Duke of the Sea!

Duke Marcus—the most dazzling star in the kingdom, a rapidly rising business tycoon, a rising star in the magic world, and the owner of another new force in the Stormwind Kingdom.

And he is just a craftsman who is completely looked down upon by the upper class.

Unexpectedly, Duke's agent Marcaro actually found him in person. When Marcaro explained his purpose of coming, saying that Duke wanted to accept him as a direct follower, he agreed to the invitation from Duke almost without hesitation.

Even though he never had the chance to meet the master, what happened afterwards further strengthened Edwin's loyalty.

Duke asked him to build a large number of fortresses for the kingdom to slow down the advance speed of the orc army. And rebuild the defense system of Stormwind City.

Well paid. Duke paid all wages in advance: or gold coins, or good white bread, or delicious sea fish. When those options were presented to Van Cleef, he almost shed tears on the spot. Due to the influx of a large number of refugees into the Stormwind Kingdom, the supply of daily necessities has become difficult, and these three things are urgently needed by the members of the Mason Brotherhood who are trapped in poverty.

Coupled with the national crisis, the craftsmen burst out with 200% enthusiasm and worked almost selflessly. I don't know how many people passed out on the construction site, but no one complained.

Moreover, Duke also fulfilled his promise, sending special ships in advance to send away the families of the craftsmen. You must know that generally speaking, the first batch to leave is the treatment only for noble lords.

After sending away his beloved daughter Vanessa, Edwin is even more devoted to Duke.

King Lane didn't know about these little things, but he was also very relieved to see Edwin's almost fanatical loyalty. He patted Edwin on the shoulder: "You did a good job. The outer city wall is done, you go to work The inner city walls. The orcs are coming, and the next is the domain of the warriors."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After a while, a strong wind mixed with a stench gushed out of the woods as if suddenly produced. The turbulent air current swirled non-stop, carrying dust and weeds into the air, and they gathered together to form a huge gust of wind and air waves.

The gust of wind passed through the flat forest, and rushed towards the outer wall of Stormwind City. The leaves and sand and stones blown up almost made the soldiers unable to lift their heads.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but slightly blocked their eyes with their hands. They let their hair sway in the gap between the helmet and their heads, and they were surprised to see the green color appearing in the woods with the strong wind.

Surging green, green with thunderous footsteps, countless strange greens filled the entire forest, like army ants all over the mountains, converging into rivers, and the rivers turned into oceans, pouring out from the forest.

The thick green tide rolled endlessly, and the beastmen's tide squeezed out from every gap in the forest like a frenzied tide. Every corner of the entire forest surged, and this ominous green was reflected in the eyes of every soldier.

What followed was the sound of war drums and horns like rolling thunder.

In order to fight, the trees within a kilometer of the city wall have been cut down.

However, the green orc tide squeezed the 800-meter open space in the distant field of vision tightly.

In front of him was a tall green-skinned orc, carrying two huge animal skeletons on his shoulders. He rode a wolf that was the largest, even among the pack. This wolf is three points more majestic than the biggest cow that humans have ever seen.

The alpha wolf raised half of its body and raised its trombone to the sky, its pure black mane stretched out in the wind, showing awe-inspiring majesty.

"Ah woo woo woo—"
