Chapter 7 Galen Trollbane's Declaration

Chapter 7 Declaration of Galen Trollbane

After winning the battle in Deadwood Village, Galen Trollbane found his confidant Lieutenant Varokal and said, "Varokar, send the food stored by the trolls in Deadwood Village to the outside of Hammerfall, and then retreat directly. Don't clash with the orcs."

Over the past ten years, the Deadwood trolls in Deadwood Village have also accumulated a certain amount of food reserves. Of course, they are mainly salted fish produced in the lake outside Deadwood Village. Although they are not delicious, they can definitely meet the needs of the orcs in Hammerfall for several months.

"I don't understand, Prince, why do you want to give food to those orcs for free? Wouldn't they be more likely to gain a foothold in Hammerfall this way?" Lieutenant Varokal rarely questioned Prince Galen Trollbane, but out of loyalty, he still asked Galen Trollbane in confusion why he wanted to give food to the orcs in Hammerfall for free.

Galen Trollbane looked at the confidant in front of him. Loyalty can be guaranteed. Even if he killed the king and seized the throne before, he did not hesitate at all, but his vision was really too narrow.

"Varokar, the orcs in Hammerfall are now short of food. Once the hungry beasts get angry, they will launch a desperate counterattack. They will definitely attack the Geshak Farm in a big way. The Scourge is coming soon. We can't waste time with them here. At the same time, I don't have the spare energy to continue to protect the Geshak Farm. So we must weigh the pros and cons and send food to the orcs in Hammerfall. In this way, the orcs who have solved their worries in a short time will not have the idea of ​​attacking the Geshak Farm in a short time. Do you understand, Varokar?"

The herdsmen of the grassland will never take away all the food of the wolf pack in winter, because if they do so, the hungry wolves will attack the herdsmen. Therefore, even if the herdsmen don't like the wolf pack, they have to maintain a fragile symbiotic relationship.

After understanding the reason, Lieutenant Varokar took the Stromgarde Cavalry to complete Galin Trollbane's mission. Riding highland warhorses, he threw the food stored by the Withered Trolls in Withered Village under the eyes of the orc scouts in Hammerfall, and then quickly retreated.

The orcs of Hammerfall were about to run out of food because of the failure of the mission to attack the G'Shak Farm. When the orcs were thinking about whether to fight to the death, the orc scouts brought back this news.

After confirming again and again that this was not a trap set by the humans of Stromgarde, the orcs of Hammerfall happily moved the food stored by the trolls of Deadwood Village back to Hammerfall. The appetite of the orcs was much bigger than that of the trolls, but it also saved Hammerfall from having to worry about food for a short time.

A few days later, the Scourge from Andorhal in the Western Plaguelands finally appeared on the land of Hillbrad Foothills. The commander of this Scourge was the future Andorhal Lich Summoner Araj.

Summoner Araj was also a mage of the Kirin Tor of Dalaran during his lifetime. He had the strength of the ninth level, but his talent and lifespan would always stop him at the ninth level.

In order to gain more powerful power and eternal life, Araj joined the Scourge. The fallen prince Arthas Menethil personally transformed Araj into a lich. After becoming a lich, Araj got the power of the hero level as he wished and became a loyal dog of the Scourge.

In order to show his loyalty to the Lich King, Summoner Araj led a detachment of the Scourge and decided to conquer the Kingdom of Stormgarde for the Lich King, so that the Scourge could completely conquer the northern continent of the Eastern Kingdoms.

However, it may be that the Lich King did not pay enough attention to the Kingdom of Stormgarde, or because part of the main force of the Scourge was taken to Kalimdor by Archimonde, and the other part was hidden by the Lich King. The detachment of the Scourge of the Lich Summoner Araj was mainly composed of low-level undead and ghouls, with only a small number of abominations, banshees and gargoyles.

Even if it was a detachment, the Scourge still had hundreds of thousands of people, and the mighty sea of ​​undead rushed towards the Wall of Thoradin!

Although the new recruits of the Stromgarde militia had experienced the Geshak Farm, they could not help but lose morale when faced with the seemingly endless Scourge of the Undead and watching these humans who were resurrected as undead.

"Kingdom of Stormgarde! Submit to the control of the Lich King, the Scourge will win!" Araki, the lich summoner who was supported on a platform by the acolyte of the Cursed Cult, wearing a lich robe and with only bones and cold air on his body, shouted arrogantly.

Garlin Trollbane slowly walked to the highest platform of the Thoradin Wall and looked around at the Stromgarde militia on the Thoradin Wall.

"I am Garlin Trollbane, the heir of the Kingdom of Stormgarde, the son of Thoras Trollbane."

"I am your prince, and all of you know this."

Garlin Trollbane's tone was slow and peaceful, but with the blessing of the heroic level, it echoed throughout the huge Thoradin Wall.

"Many of you were just ordinary people in Stromgarde before. You have never participated in a real battle. Since the victory of the Second War, peace has been with us for many years."

"Over the years, we have begun to decline in peace, but the glory of the Kingdom of Stromgarde has never left us!"

All the militias of Stromgarde, including Marshal Oslet, listened quietly.

When mentioning the decline of the Kingdom of Stromgarde, every citizen of Stromgarde showed grief and regret on their faces.

When talking about the glory of the Kingdom of Stromgarde, pride and madness flashed before everyone's eyes.

They clenched their weapons, recalling the glory that the ancestors of the Kingdom of Stormgarde proudly brought them, their breathing began to become heavy, and their eyes became extremely firm.

"But the Scourge broke all this, and the plague of the undead spread across the northern continent. The Scourge ravaged our homes and killed our loved ones. Today, they finally came here."

"They want to turn all of us into slaves of the Lich King. This is the mission the Lich King gave them, to bring death to this world!"

"What should we do in the face of the Scourge?"

The loud questioning made all the militia forces of Stromgarde fall into thought.

Before all the warriors could figure it out, Galen Trollbane roared again, "We fight to the death!"

"We are a whole, the proud people of Stromgarde, the last shield of the Kingdom of Stromgarde! We will win." Then he pointed to the Scourge, "And they and the Lich King behind them will surely fail!"

"If we die today, we will die on the Wall of Thoradin that our ancestors built to resist the trolls. We will die with honor!"

"Today, if we die, it is to protect our children, our parents, our...loved ones."

Finally, Galen Trollbane once again pulled out the Troll Slayer Tokaral, and said in a nearly roaring tone, "For the glory of the Kingdom of Stromgarde!"

The Stromgarde militia on the Wall of Thoradin was silent at first, and then, like the prelude to a storm, a deafening sound and momentum broke out, "For the glory of the Kingdom of Stromgarde!"
