Chapter 1684 The Aftermath of Betrayal (Fourth Update)

To the northwest, the battle where Malygos taught Kalecgos how to be a dragon ended before Alexstrasza arrived. Today's dracolich can torture his own younger brother, but he would never dare to go one-on-one with his former eldest sister.

This time the battle is over.

It's hard to say who is the real winner.

The Icecrown Glacier defense line run by Lich King Arthas was completely broken. Although the west and northwest sides were not invaded, on the east defense line, the Alliance still gained the important city of Scourge City on the plateau. strategic pivot.

Originally, the Scourge Legion could take advantage of the terrain and form a terrifying strangulation formation with the Death Gate as the center. Now, once the coalition forces attack, they have to fight a war of attrition with the alliance on a relatively narrow bridge.

On the other hand, the strength of the Scourge Legion did not decrease but increased.

In addition to the loss of many flesh and blood giants in the direction of the Iron Wall Dam, during the battle in Scourge City, when the new type of plague jointly developed by Malygos and Professor Putricide spread, except for the tanks that were destroyed by mechanical gnomes, From those destroyed, the Scourge gained a total of 50,000 elites. Most of them are low-level professionals.

Even for the Scourge Legion, which has a big family and a big business, this is a big improvement in strength.

Originally, before Alsace left, he removed the ice wall surrounding the Scourge City, hoping to further pollute the surrounding environment.

Duke, who was well prepared, quickly mobilized the Red Dragon Legion and burned the entire Scourge City to ashes along with the plague.

The battle ended on March 15.

The aftermath is still brewing.

"What? You said that the Alliance seemed to be well prepared and only sent mechanical gnomes who were not susceptible to the plague into the Scourge City, and then everyone on our side discovered that the Alliance had dropped the package?" In Orgrimmar, a report was received Thrall clenched his fists hard.

anger?

Maybe.

What’s more, there is uneasiness and doubt!

As soon as he turned around, Thrall's tall body had already moved towards the magic mirror, where a giant magician who was responsible for contacting the alliance headquarters immediately bowed his head to Thrall.

Trolls also have mages. As the ancestors of night elves, trolls also have mage qualifications. It's just that among the Darkspear trolls where Wo'jin is, there aren't many trolls with mage qualifications. Coupled with the lack of magical civilization, giant magicians are even rarer.

However, with the destruction of the Forsaken army, and the announcement of the Dreadlord Varimathras, who now effectively controls the New Undercity, to join the Scourge, the Forgotten Mage has actually been forced to be separated from the tribe's battle order. .

The Horde actually has less than a thousand Forsaken left.

Giant magicians are generally not strong, and there is not even a named Huiyue Mage.

Now I can only make do with it.

Thrall sighed and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Vol'jin's voice coming from behind.

"Great Chief, do you want to confront Duke?"

Thrall did not turn his head, but faced Vol'jin with his majestic back: "Yes! That's right! I just can't swallow this breath. I want to ask Duke why he did this. Since he discovered that the tribe had hidden Plague weapons, he can definitely tell me!"

Vol'jin's voice was low, and it was obvious that he was in a very low mood: "Don't ask. So what if you ask? It will only further widen the rift that has finally begun to be healed between the Alliance and the Horde. Warchief, there is only one reason for him to do this. ——The Alliance is the Alliance, and the Horde is the Horde.”

Thrall seemed to be struck by thunder, his whole body froze, and soon his big mouth full of sharp teeth was filled with bitterness.

Wo'jin is indeed a man of great wisdom.

He pointed out the key point in one sentence.

Even after ten years of relatively friendly and peaceful cooperation, the barriers between each other cannot be completely eliminated.

The Alliance and Horde are now allies. But these two behemoths are also two multi-racial coalitions that have fought brutal wars and have different interests.

The Alliance has made too many concessions, so much so that even the great chief, Thrall, is a little paralyzed. He often forgets the hatred and unhappiness of the past, wishful thinking that this peace and cooperation can last forever.

Needless to say, this time, the Alliance must be guarding the Horde, which is why Duke suddenly ordered the withdrawal of Varian's Eastern Army and replaced it with Mimiron's Mechanical Gnomes.

Thinking about it on the other hand, why aren't the tribes guarding against the alliance?

Among the tribes, the clamor for war against the Alliance has never stopped. Recently, as problems such as lack of land resources have emerged, this voice has not diminished, but has become more and more intense.

As a dove, Sarr went around putting out fires, but the more he put out the fires, the more he started to put out more fires.

Sal was simply exhausted.

Wo'jin pointed out the key points of the problem, but knowing where the problem is does not mean that it can be solved.

It is completely foreseeable that conflicts will become even greater in the future.

Looking at the history of orcs, it is not difficult to find that orcs are also good at giving birth to babies. When the population increases, expand outwards and beat the foreigners first. If there is really no room for expansion, there will be civil war. Throughout the ages, many clans have disappeared in the long river of history.

The orcs don't care, it's been this way for hundreds of millions of years.

Sal, who is sober-minded, knows that this way of survival is extremely dangerous.

The Alliance is already a behemoth whose strength far exceeds that of the Horde. Since the Second Dark Portal War, the Alliance has not launched a war against the Horde, not because it does not want to, but because there are stronger foreign enemies and Duke. Wise leaders suppress the opposition.

Once the war is ignited, the Alliance will probably not be burned to death, but the Horde will definitely be destroyed.

Thrall is trying his best to maintain this fragile balance and try to maintain peace with the Alliance. If the traditional orcs below continue to cause trouble without thinking, then...

Sal didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Thoughts were swirling in his mind, and Thrall finally became discouraged: "Wo'jin, notify Duke for me. It's just that the Horde Expeditionary Force has been severely damaged and needs a long period of rest in place. I hope that supplies can be provided."

"Understood." Vol'jin put one hand on his chest humbly and bowed to Thrall.

However, when he saw the figure of the great chief, he became extremely lonely.

"well!"

At the same moment, in front of the Frozen Throne.

One burly, one skinny, two figures exuding terrifying dark energy fluctuations, just prostrate in front of the tall white throne.

The Lich King's supreme voice floated down from the top of the throne: "Anastrian, are you dissatisfied?"

The former Sun King's body shook violently, and finally he choked out a sentence between his teeth: "I don't dare."

"Haha, you just don't dare?" With the cold voice, the slap mark imprinted on the Sun King's right face suddenly turned as black as ink. It was obviously a deep black color, but it emitted an extremely hot soul-burning pain that made Anastrian roll on the ground in pain.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
