Chapter 34: The Orcs Emerge
. The regional conflict in the southern part of the continent has always been a boring tug-of-war.
Regardless of whether the crazy Medivh on the human side or the thoughtful Gul'dan on the orc side, both sides have their own little calculations and will not let the situation collapse like this.
During this period, although many forces were paying attention to this regional conflict, they could not see anything worthy of attention.
At most, I feel that the orc warriors are very powerful. They can rely on simple weapons and equipment to fight on par with human heavy infantry.
Behind this poor performance is the large number of orcs arriving from another world every day.
The Black Swamp is vast.
The swamp is rich in resources, enough to support millions of orcs recuperating here.
When they are ready, the entire continent will be shrouded in the shadow of war!
No kingdom fighting alone can resist the invasion of the orcs.
After all, the orcs have too many powerful forces hidden behind the scenes.
The evil demon inside Medivh, the fallen black dragon king Neltharion lurking in the darkness.
These are the backers that ensure that the orcs are absolutely impossible to defeat.
Therefore, the only thing Herad could do was to watch the situation develop.
Whether he knew it or not, he had no better choice.
And Stormwind City is not very interested in thermal weapons.
Expensiveness is only one factor.
The extensive use of thermal weapons has seriously squeezed the living space of warriors and knights.
This will have a great impact on the human kingdom that advocates knight culture.
But when the situation becomes increasingly critical, Herard believes they will change their minds.
The protracted war between Stormwind City and the Orcs continues to provide people with fresh topics.
Today there was a fight between the two sides, a few were killed and a dozen were injured.
Tomorrow there will be another fight between the two sides, with several dead and more than a dozen injured.
The days passed like this day after day, year after year.
No one knows how long this war, which continues to involve bloodletting but with few casualties, will last.
Herard didn't know the specific time of the big event.
But after three years, real changes may be coming.
Finally, at the end of the third year of the orc invasion, Khadgar, who was working as an undercover agent next to Medivh, discovered the shocking news that his mentor was possessed by an evil demon.
Then Khadgar swung his men and led a group of Medivh's relatives and friends to raid the Karazhan mage tower.
He used family and friendship to awaken Medivh's soul, and then hacked him to death.
The evil demon soul was also forced to roll back into the Twisting Nether.
When the news came that Guardian Medivh had been killed, the mages of the Magic Kingdom of Dalaran cheered.
They worked hard to move the books and treasures from the Karazhan Mage Tower.
On the surface, this seems to be a secret war between the mage forces.
However, Herard knew very well that the balance had been broken.
Even if the orcs' great warlock Gul'dan is not attacked at the same time, the real invasion will break out.
The next development of events was indeed as he expected.
When the orc heavy infantry wearing black heavy armor rushed towards the defense line, the human heavy infantry turned green.
Those heavy hammers and wheel axes are all designed to break armor!
Thicker armor, higher attack, how to block this?
Arcane puppets and steam tanks would be smashed to pieces by this group of black-armored orc heavy infantry if they pushed against it.
Seeing this scene for the first time, the dwarf thief dropped the food he was playing with on the ground.
He remembered the countermeasures explained by Herad, packed up his belongings as quickly as possible, and then quietly left the battlefield.
As a non-combat profession, this kind of intense battlefield is not suitable for him.
And bringing out information as quickly as possible is in line with the professional creed of intelligence personnel.
Listening to the screams coming from behind, the dwarf thief felt that the Deadwind Trail had become even more eerie and terrifying.
The frequency of his short legs suddenly increased.
Deadwind Pass has always been an ominous place.
When Medivh settled here, there was no grass growing here.
Medivh's evil magic made the weather on the Deadwind Pass gloomy. Even at noon when the sun is the strongest, it is no different from when the sun goes down in the evening.
While he was immersed in walking, a strange cold wind blew over from time to time, seeming to deliberately embarrass him.
The dwarf thief was extremely regretful at this moment.
He should have bought a mechanical chocobo before.
Now he could only run hard to the Sunshine Forest in the west, rent a carriage in Orchard Town and head to Stormwind City.
The width of the headwind path was very narrow, and the dwarf thief quickly ran out of this area.
However, the sunny forest to the west, which should be sunny, turned out to be as gloomy as the Deadwind Trail.
Fortunately, the Orchard Town below the mountain was brightly lit, dispelling all his uneasiness.
The drunk dwarf thief ran down the mountain as fast as he could.
"Something happened! The defense line on the other side of the mountain has been lost!"
the dwarf thief shouted and ran into the inn, got on the carriage that was going to Stormwind City, and left the town quickly.
The staff at the inn who saw the photo with their own eyes quickly spread the news.
Looking at the town in chaos, the dwarf thief shook his head helplessly.
Whether you are escaping or supporting the front line, you must move faster.
God knows how long the thousands of troops on the front line will be enough to kill the other side?
Thinking of those sledgehammers that could smash him into a piece of meat, the dwarf thief broke into a cold sweat.
A hammer that big must weigh at least two hundred kilograms!
The dwarf thief suddenly felt that the warrior profession was abnormal.
The dwarf race is very weak and cannot produce qualified warriors at all.
Although their allies are the dwarves who are rich in warriors.
However, the weapons of the dwarves are more traditional, with shields and one-handed axes or hammers.
Even if you use a two-handed hammer, it is impossible to make a hammer as big as a bucket.
In fact, the dwarf thief has some misunderstandings about the bucket and sledgehammer.
Those orc heavy infantry wearing black armor and dark skin.
The terrifyingly large buckets and sledgehammers in their hands are not made of metal at all.
The black orcs come from the Blackstone clan and live in geologically active areas with volcanic eruptions all year round.
In addition to being good at forging equipment from metal, they also discovered a light and strong black stone that can be used to make armor and weapons.
Because black stone is a light material, it can be made into armor with a thicker layer.
Of course, when it is made into a weapon, it will be as domineering as it is.
Therefore, that kind of bucket sledgehammer looks very heavy, but it is actually not as heavy as imagined.
Of course, if you hit it with a hammer, it will definitely kill someone.
The stage carriage carried the panicked passengers all the way, leaving the sunny forest where there was no sunshine as quickly as possible.
Such a big thing happened, and the coachman was also very panicked.
Seeing the dwarf thief coming out for air, he chatted with the professional about the battle situation in a depressed mood.
"Sir, do you think we can still stop it?"
The scene of thousands of black orcs charging is really shocking!
Even through the camera lens, you can feel the terrifying momentum.
The optimistic dwarf thief was not too depressed.
He stood up and patted the driver on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, you still have the Knights of the Storm. The knights will definitely be able to stop those savage greenskins."
Hearing the name of the Knights of the Storm, the coachman's depressed mood improved a lot.
The Kingdom of Azeroth is still in the stage where knight culture is prevalent.
The knight's combat power is also the most powerful!
They and their mounts were all covered in thick armor, and they only used lance charges to deal with enemies they encountered.
When the knights gather to charge, it's a roaring steel frenzy!
They are the strongest army in the kingdom and their final trump card.
