Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 358: Withdraw

The main force of the Horde spent two days crossing the snow-covered mountains, heading west down the mountain and into the hilly area. So far, the orcs have not seen a single human. Some warriors even grumbled that they had lost the opportunity to kill. But the conquerors of the Kingdom of Alterac who caught up from behind irritated their nerves.

Their Warchief assured them that this opportunity would come soon.

Yes, they have a chance.

As early as three days ago, after the news of the destruction of Alterac broke out, fierce quarrels broke out in Lordaeron and even the entire Alliance.

In the Lordaeron Front command tent between Silverpine Forest and Tirisfal Glades.

A general of noble birth roared like crazy: "The guy sitting in the deputy commander's position is a fool. We gave him 50,000 troops, but he still let the Horde get under our noses!"

Mograine, who knew Duke best, sneered at him with clear contempt: "If you lead the team, you will only deliver 50,000 battle merits to the savage green monster you call it."

"Retreat! Failure! Lost the capital! This is the second one in the Alliance to lose its capital!? Who will be next? Will it be Lordaeron? Will it be Ironforge or Stromgarde? Are we competing to see who will fall faster? No, we must keep the initiative in the hands of us Lordaeron. Your Majesty Menethil, you should use your influence to take back the positions of Alliance commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief!" Another duke jumped out and slammed the table hard, attracting everyone's attention. His proposal was immediately echoed by many nobles.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He slammed the table, and Mograine slammed the table too. As a rare great lord with explosive strength among the nobles, Mograine was definitely not inferior to anyone in making noise.

"Watch your mouth! Duke Sandos! Changing commanders in the middle of a battle will only create greater chaos!" The veins on Mograine's exposed muscles were bulging like whiskers. "The two commanders you mentioned have done a great job. Under their leadership, we killed 500,000 orcs. The only reason for the current situation is that there are too many damn greenskins."

The guy named Santos was still unwilling to give up: "If it were His Majesty Menethil who led us, we could kill 1 million orcs!" freewёbnoνel.com

Admittedly, this is a very skillful flattery.

At any other time, King Terenas would have accepted it with a smile. Unfortunately, this was a time when the allies needed help the most. The King of Lordaeron, sitting on the highest throne, said calmly: "If I were the commander, there would be no alliance."

The guys below immediately shut up.

The white-haired King Terenas rubbed his temple and turned to look at his most capable commander, High Lord Mograine.

"What is your opinion, my Mograine?"

"We have no choice but to retreat. We have transferred all the best soldiers from Lordaeron here. The remaining city guards cannot possibly deal with the elite core of the Horde... If the fighting power of this group of tribes is as terrible as Deputy Commander Edmund described..."

Several nobles immediately stood up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, but Terenas raised his hand and made a gesture to silence them, so those guys had to hold it in.

Terenas added, "Even at the cost of all of Tirisfal Glades?"

Ignoring the murderous looks of the upper nobles whose fiefdoms were in Tirisfal Glades, Mograine gritted his teeth and said, "We do not have enough troops to fight on two fronts, so my answer is: 'Yes! My Lord. Lordaeron must not be lost.'"

Everyone knows the truth, but it is another matter when it comes to individuals. Everyone knows that the Horde is a group of locusts, consuming all the resources wherever they go. the Horde is a hunting nation at heart, so it has no concept of sustainable development.

All the wild animals in the forest were hunted down and all the trees were cut down. When absolutely necessary, the orcs would be forced to feed the livestock with plants at will. For example, the pigs seized from humans were very much to their liking.

After fighting for so long in Silverpine Forest, the forest was almost completely destroyed. It was summer, but it was hard to find a tree with green leaves. Once the defense line was retreated, Silverpine Forest would become the template for Tirisfal Glades.

Now seeing the bitter faces of the lords of Tirisfal Glades, the lords of Silverpine Forest, who had suffered for a long time, suddenly felt a sense of gloating.

However, retreating to Lordaeron City is also a painful option. After being surrounded by the Horde from both sides, it is conceivable that Lordaeron City will cut off all ties with its own territory. To obtain supplies, they can only rely on Lake Lordamere.

To the east of the lake are mountains, to the west is the destroyed Silverpine Forest, and to the south is Dalaran, which has never been famous for its food production. Ironically, the food production areas controlled by the Stormwind Kingdom refugees who were hiding in Hillsbrad as refugees became the food pillar of the Alliance a year later.

"Okay, next topic. Now that we have decided to withdraw, how do we do it?"

the Hordes in Silverpine Forest had apparently received the message, and their exploratory attacks had become more frequent in the past two days.

"If we withdraw from our position without permission, we will all be wiped out if the Horde catches up with us." Mograine warned solemnly: "In principle, we must leave troops behind to cover our retreat."

Upon hearing that they were cut off, many lords' facial muscles twitched and they lowered their heads. Some lords even took small steps back quietly, fearing that their king would take a fancy to them.

Terenas looked unhappy. He raised his hand and immediately a servant handed a note to Mograine.

"I'm not very proficient in military affairs. This is the idea Duke gave me through magic. What do you think?"

Mograine's eyes lit up immediately when he saw it, and he said excitedly: "He is indeed a military genius!"

Grom Hellscream once again led his army to attack the northern defense line of Silverpine Forest. As a pure warrior, he didn't know much about strategy. Since Orgrim sent a letter asking him to lead the army to bite the troops in the north, he continued to send small-scale troops to attack.

The performance of humans in a solid position is more than one level lower than that in a field battle. If these guys are allowed to return to Lordaeron City, it will definitely make the attack more difficult.

In the past few days, there has always been continuous drumbeats from the northern positions, as if telling the Horde that "we are prepared." This is indeed the case. Once the Horde's troops approach, the drumbeats will become more frequent, and more human troops will emerge from the camp according to the scale of the Horde's attack.

The annoying group of paladins disappeared for two days, and then came back. The Silver Knights even personally killed a small group of troops.

This situation lasted for three days, and then Grom suddenly realized that something was wrong!

"Oh no! The humans are trying to escape!"
