The city hall in Theramore was noisy and noisy, like a vegetable market. Only when Regen walked into the hall quickly did all the officials, big and small, come forward as if they had a backbone.
"Your Excellency, General, something bad has happened!" Archon Mori squeezed through the crowd, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a panic, "The magic transmitter connected to Stormwind City just now suddenly opened, Mr. Ditas from the Mage Association
Issued a warning to us, saying that both Stormwind City and Ironforge were suddenly attacked by undead! He is afraid that Theramore will also become a target, so let us prepare preventive measures in advance!"
"Stormwind City was attacked?" Regan was shocked when he heard this, "Did he say when it happened?"
"Of course, General," Morrie nodded. "According to Mr. Ditus, the undead attacked Ironforge at noon yesterday, and Stormwind City suffered a sneak attack from the Floating City earlier today.
Fortunately, the city defense military at that time noticed the anomaly first, and the two sneak attacks did not cause serious damage or casualties."
Regan breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately...then Theramore's defense force has been mobilized?"
"Not yet, General," Morrie replied honestly. "Although I have informed Captain Vimys, who is in charge of defense work, of this matter, he only has part of the standing army at hand, and the other troops are stationed.
Among the many sentries outside the city, we haven’t had time to send people to notify..."
Lei Gen frowned when he heard this and said: "How can that be done? We have to inform them as soon as possible to prepare..."
"What happened, Morrie?" Before the knight could finish speaking, Jaina, wearing a dark purple mage robe, hurried into the hall, with a hint of worry on her tired brows.
"Lord!" The noble officials present all owed their respects.
"No courtesy," Jaina obviously came all the way in a hurry, and her breath seemed a little uncomfortable when she spoke. She paused for a moment, looked at the white-haired consul and said, "What happened? Why did the sound suddenly ring?
Meeting bell?”
Morrie lowered his head and said: "My lord, please forgive me...it is actually a warning from Stormwind City. The undead spirit raided Ironforge and Stormwind City respectively within two days. It seems that they have the intention to continue to wreak havoc, so the Mage Association's
Mr. Ditas, on the order of His Majesty Varian, sent a message to inform us to prepare for defense."
"Stormwind City was attacked?" Jaina's reaction was exactly the same as Ragen's, but she seemed more surprised. The female mage opened her eyes in disbelief, and then frowned deeply.
"Where's Vimys? Hasn't he heard the news yet?" Jaina's tone at this time was obviously that of a superior, which was completely different from the charming and sweet voice of the female lying under the knight at night.
"Captain Vimes is already gathering the troops," Morrie replied, "but you also know that more than half of our soldiers are stationed at various posts outside the city. It will obviously take a long time to pass the news one by one.
…”
"Have you sent someone out to inform?" Jaina rubbed her forehead and asked rather troubledly.
"Not yet, sir..." Mori and the other officials looked at each other and said carefully, "We only received the news not long ago, so we haven't made corresponding arrangements yet."
Jaina frowned slightly when she heard this. Although there is no doubt about Mori's ability to do things, sometimes he is too rigid and inflexible. In the situation at hand, defense is naturally the first priority, so there is no need to discuss it more.
?
"I'll go," Regan pondered for a moment and said, "At this time, Chenwu Town is also unprepared. I just happened to inform White and Bai Ye about this incident and let them take defensive measures."
Jaina nodded: "Okay, go back as quickly as possible. Sophie and I will deal with the city's defense immediately. When everything is ready, we will meet up with you and go to Stormwind City to check out what happened."
"Well, be careful!" Regan smiled at the female mage, then walked straight out of the city hall, climbed on the black war horse and galloped towards Chenwu Town.
——————————————————At the same time, Stormwind City thousands of miles away
There are no civilians in the usually bustling streets. Only the heavily armed Stormwind City defense troops are patrolling. In the corner of the street, the summoned magicians are carrying the remains of humans or undead who died in the previous battle, preparing to
Then burn them intensively to avoid leaving ready-made materials for the summoners of natural disasters.
"What are the casualties, Marcus?" Accompanied by the city defense general, Storm King Varian appeared in the most severely attacked trading area, coming to condolences to those soldiers who were loyal to their country.
"We're still optimistic, Your Majesty," Marcus replied respectfully. "The undead seem to be just trying to harass us, and they haven't sent out main troops such as abhorrence and frost dragons, so they haven't caused us many casualties."
Varian waved his hand to the soldiers who were deeply excited by seeing him, and turned around and said, "Don't be careless. I think the intention of the undead is not just to leave us a pile of corpses. In some of their abnormal behaviors,
Behind the scenes, there are often more serious conspiracies hidden!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Marcus nodded with deep understanding, "Use harassment to demoralize our troops, and then attack again when we are relaxed after repelling them... Although the strategy is crude, I have to say,
It’s really hard for the undead to come up with such a trick with their rotten brains.”
"Then are you ready to defend against their general attack, my general?" Varian smiled slightly.
"Of course, Your Majesty!" Marcus raised his head proudly and said, "The residents of North County and Goldsmith Town have all moved into the city at this moment, and in front of the gate and in the Valley of Heroes, I have set up dragnets just waiting for those stupid rotten meats
Sound the attack horn, and my boys and I will defeat them in one fell swoop!"
Varian nodded approvingly: "I look forward to your victory, General!"
"You will not be disappointed, my lord!" Marcus gave the king a military salute.
Seeing this, Varian smiled with satisfaction and continued to lead the way: "The war situation in Northrend is now calming down. Neither the Scourge nor we can launch a larger-scale battle and the Scarlet Cross... Oh, it should be called
"The Scarlet Vanguard Army," the Storm King changed his words, "together with the tribe's vanguard army, they have become two pawns full of variables in the battle. So judging from the complex distribution of forces in the North, no matter what, one family cannot break the existing
situation"
"Perhaps... now is the time for us to blow the counterattack horn?" Marcus said thoughtfully, "The war in Draenor has ended perfectly, and all our main armies have returned, so Wei Chen believes that now is the time to do so.
Send troops to support the Northland frontline and break the stalemate between the natural disaster and us!"
Varian stopped suddenly and asked with a strange expression: "Do you really think so?"
"Of course, my majesty!" Marcus puffed up his chest, "The traitor Arthas has been roaming free in Northrend for too long, and it's time for us to make him pay for all his sins!"
"Well..." Varian nodded thoughtfully, "To tell you the truth, I actually have the same idea. But the day before yesterday, the Royal Council just rejected my proposal to increase next year's military budget, and said that the smoke from the outer world has just cleared, and our
It is really not appropriate for the army to continue fighting with a tired body. The most important thing right now is to recover from the trauma caused by the war..."
Marcus chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, I think that although all the civil servants in the parliament are pillars of the country, they are still a bit unprofessional when it comes to military affairs... It should be noted that a strong army is achieved through battles again and again.
Those who have been trained and can survive a hundred battles are the elites of a strong army! If the army is allowed to roam Nanshan all year round, I am afraid that this country will not be far away from destruction..."
"Be careful, Marcus." Varian could naturally hear the sarcasm in the other party's words. Although he had no fondness for the fat-minded aristocratic officials in the parliament, the country still needed them for its internal affairs and diplomacy, so
The King of Storms should not let his subordinates in the military attache system be too showy.
"I'm sorry," Marcus bowed slightly and said in a different tone, "But no matter what, this is an excellent opportunity for the Northern Expedition. If we miss it, we will definitely miss changing the stalemate situation in Northrend.
The best time”
Varian nodded and didn't speak. After a long time, he patted his shoulder and said, "Don't mention it in advance. We will definitely discuss it later. But right now, what you have to pay attention to is the sudden attack of the undead. It's hard to tell.
From which..."
"Boom~"
At this moment, a deafening explosion interrupted the conversation between the monarch and his ministers. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound with mixed expressions - it was the mage area located at the southwest end of Stormwind City. Black smoke billowed from near the towering Magic Academy.
Rising up, covering almost half of the area
"Damn it, it's an air raid!" a soldier yelled in shock and anger. People who had not recovered from the explosion looked up and saw an extremely huge floating city floating above their heads. The black hatch was like the god of death.
The eyes are like eyes, exuding an aura that makes the hair on the whole body stand up.
"Mortals, your doom is approaching! Under the shadow of death, no one can escape the gaze of the Lich King!" On the top of Naxxramas Fortress, a lich is looking down at all the creatures in Stormwind City
, shouted loudly in their frightened or frightened eyes, "And I am just the messenger who brings this message! And... spread His Majesty the Lich King's grace throughout the entire continent!"
With a loud noise, the hatches of the floating fortress opened one after another, and countless zombies and ghouls fell into Stormwind City like dumplings. At the same time, at the Valley of Heroes and the gate of Stormwind City, giant abominations and frost dragons suddenly appeared.
Launched the most violent attack on the defenders!
