Chapter 427 Soldiers Arrive at Lordaeron City

The kingdom of Alterac is destroyed.

Orgrim cleverly restrained the number of orcs who invaded.

Three thousand people, half elite and half soldiers, more than two thousand are orcs, there are many trolls and dozens of ogres.

This is a number that tests Duke's psychological level.

Duke has been effectively carrying out a lethal strategy with a high exchange ratio, and Orgrim has also seen this, so in Broken Ridge, Orgrim attacked with troops that almost molested Duke.

Alterac's alpine terrain is a natural hazard for humans, but not for the Horde. Duke just sent the Knights of the Silver Hand and the Windrunner Sisters to break off, and did not stick to it.

Facts have proved that Duke's decision is correct.

General Haas, who stayed not far from Duke, saw many trolls with skin colors between white and blue climbing up the cliffs around Broken Ridge that Haas had always considered as cliffs with a livid face. Throw the spear at the paladin below.

"They are Frostmane Trolls, a branch of Frost Trolls, who have been active on Dun Morogh of the Bronzebeard Dwarves before. Now they seem to be recruited by the Horde." Duke said lightly.

Haas could almost imagine that the paladin might still be able to withstand it if he defended himself, but ordinary human fighters would definitely collapse under such a three-dimensional blow.

Alterac in the summer was not protected by snow, and after the paladins of the Silver Hand withdrew, the entire king quickly ignited a fire.

The warriors of the tribe roared loudly, celebrating destruction and conquest.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Duke's face muscles twitched a little, because he saw the orcs pulling out a large amount of food such as frozen meat from the cellar.

In the cold Alterac, you can dig two meters underground to get frozen soil, which is perfect for making an ice cellar.

Most of the tribes are unscrupulous guys, and this batch of meat will obviously become a strong support for the tribe to attack Lordaeron.

Duke couldn't help sighing, Orgrim still succeeded.

While the situation isn't as bad as it used to be, it's not much better.

In the original timeline, the Second Dark Portal War completely changed the kingdom of Alterac and the fate of the Barov family. The treacherous King Aiden surrendered to the orc army and launched a counterattack to the Alliance army. They continued to incite peasant riots in the Alliance-controlled area. The rebels repeatedly harassed the Dalaran Kingdom's forces around Hillsbrad, preventing them from supporting Alliance forces fighting on other fronts.

Soon, the actions of the Alterac Kingdom aroused the anger of the Dalaran mages. Dalaran quickly and decisively sent troops to completely destroy the Alterac Kingdom and razed the entire Alterac Kingdom to Flat land. This is the ruins of Alterac in later generations.

Ten minutes later, Duke saw the Knights of the Silver Hand with not many scars, and the sisters of the Windrunner covered in sweat.

Uther seemed a little dissatisfied: "Deputy commander, why did you send the signal to retreat so early, we can kill more tribes."

In Duke's view, Uther was not a qualified commander. His dominance is limited, and his overall view is not enough. He is like the most perfect saint, spurring everyone forward with almost strict beliefs. Uther is indeed the most perfect banner, but it does not mean that everyone is willing to live a life that is more Puritan than Puritan. More often, Duke only used Uther as a fierce general.

Duke smiled lightly: "This is not a good place for a decisive battle. Suppose in other places, you can kill 100 tribal warriors in an hour, but here you can only kill 40. Save your strength, and the battle will continue." You have to fight. Pack up, we will set off for Lordaeron City immediately, if you don’t leave, the Horde will rush to your hometown before us."

Not only Uther, but Saidan and Tirion, the paladins from Lordaeron, all twitched their eyebrows.

Regardless of the paladins, Duke turned to General Haas and said, "Take the Eagle Knights and all the infantry you can muster and follow me."

Haas was stunned. He turned his head and looked at the Alterac refugees who were winding towards the distance on the long and winding mountain road: "What about the people of Alterac?"

"Give it to the local garrison."

"What if the Horde attacked them?" Haas and several Alterac generals were anxious.

Duke's eyes sharpened, and Haas's sharp eyes reminded Haas of a mountain eagle soaring on the snow-capped mountains, about to pounce on the snow to hunt for rabbits: "I have been fighting with Orgrim for so long, I don't know what he is going to do ?Believe me, Orgrim headed straight for Lordaeron with his army long before he divided his forces against Broken Ridge. Maybe they'll get there sooner than we all think."

Ilucia's eyes were red, and she silently stood in the line behind Duke. She knew best what Duke meant. Her two goddamn younger brothers are now leading the way for the tribe. With the two of them leading the way, the main force of the tribe will pass through the Alterac Mountains at an even more terrifying speed.

Duke guessed right.

Except for Orgrim's 5,000 rear team, all the main forces have already marched in a hurry since the afternoon.

As the Barov brothers said, these roads were abandoned by the Alterac army.

Even if there were occasionally some bunkers stuck in the main road, when the Barov brothers took the contract they got from King Aiden and yelled a few times, the defenders in the bunkers quickly retreated.

This is an age of silence. Except for the commanders, kings and generals of the alliance, no one is eligible to enjoy magical communication. Most of the news is still delivered by stage horses.

The subordinates of those minor nobles didn't know that their lord had died, but after seeing the lord's signature and seal, they quickly evacuated the bunker.

Orgrim was able to lead his warriors quickly through these narrow levels.

He thought the Barov Brothers would be of some use, and he was pleased to find that he was right.

The road ahead is still very dangerous.

Orcs and trolls don't mind climbing mountains, but ogres are a lot more trouble, and without Cho'gall, their movements are much more sluggish. A stony path like this, with a few soldiers blocking the way, would be impassable in any form to the ogre once the corpses piled up.

Orgrim was not willing to give up the ogres, especially those two-headed ogre warriors. So he hastened his army forward swiftly. He knew that when his army passed through the mountains, there would be no stopping the Horde's great ax from cutting into the heart of the Alliance.

Once he succeeds, Grom Hellscream's stalker trapped in Silverpine Forest will be free. Based on his understanding of humans, most of them would rather give up large tracts of land in order to mobilize all forces to protect their capital.
