Chapter 60 Cut scenes in seconds?

The Kingdom of Lordaeron, the most powerful human country in terms of overall national strength, is also the leader of the alliance.

The Alliance and the Horde have been coming and going in the Hillsbrad area since the Second Orc War.

There are three ways to get from Hillsbrad to Lordaeron.

One is to break out from the Silver Pine Forest.

However, Silverpine Forest is the key defense area of ​​the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and it is very difficult to break through it head-on.

The second is to take a long way from Icewind Hill to the hinterland of East Tirisfal, and then go west to the capital of Lordaeron.

However, this path has been proven to be unworkable.

At the beginning, Orgrim also planned to attack from behind, trying to go straight into Lordaeron from the Hinterlands.

However, Orgrim's army failed to break through the tight defenses behind the alliance under the attack of two forces from Hearthglen and Caer Darrow.

In the end, he could only adopt Zul'jin's suggestion to continue northward and capture Quel'Thalas to obtain the full support of the forest trolls.

As for the third path, it has been agreed by both sides since the beginning of the war that it is the least likely path to pass.

It's the Alterac Trail.

This path sandwiched between Alterac Snow Mountain and Lordamere Lake is very narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and only a small amount of troops are needed to garrison it to completely block the passage.

Terenas Menethil, King of Lordaeron today, never dreamed that the Horde would reach his doorstep by this seemingly impossible trail.

The Alterac Trail was originally guarded by Haas, the famous general of the Alterac Kingdom.

But just before Orgrim's army returned to Hillsbrad, Haas suddenly received an order from Alterac City.

King Aiden Perenold asked him to lead his troops south into the hilly area to assist the Alliance Grand Marshal Lothar to wipe out the remaining troops of the tribe that were in decline.

Confirming that the order came from Aiden himself, Haas had no doubt that he had completed the handover with the new defenders, and hurried all the way to the main battlefield.

But when he led the army to merge with Lothar, Lothar was not surprised at all, but surprised.

As the military leader with the highest authority in the alliance, Lothar has never given this order.

When the two realized that something was wrong, Orgrim's army had already passed through the open Alterac trail, and surrounded the royal city of Lordaeron with only a few defenders.

When reinforcements from Quel'Thalas departed, the raid, which the Alliance hadn't expected, was just reaching its climax.

Orgrim's troops traveled lightly all the way, and only after reaching the city of Lordaeron did they start to cut down the forest to make catapults.

The three roads leading to Lordaeron were heavily guarded. Neither Terenas nor Lothar expected the Horde to find a gap. The defense of Lordaeron's royal city was very weak.

Although there is a solid city wall, the huge disadvantage of the total number of troops made the defense of the city gate shaky.

At the critical moment, Terenas, who was in his prime, climbed onto the city wall himself, and drew out his long-unsheathed sword to boost the morale of the soldiers defending the city.

Relying on this wave of chicken blood, Lordaeron's defenders struggled to repel the Horde's attacks time and time again.

This race for time made both sides very anxious.

Terenas was awaiting reinforcements from Lothar and Turalyon, and Orgrim was awaiting reinforcements promised by Gul'dan.

But a few days later, the two armies of Lothar and Turalyon were already in sight, and there was still no news from Gul'dan and the forest trolls who stayed in Quel'Thalas.

The Dragonmaw Knight, who wandered around somewhere, finally arrived late, and told Orgrim the important information about Gul'dan's betrayal of the Horde.

The overall plan was disrupted, Orgrim was frightened and angry, and the Horde's best chance to make a comeback was ruined in the hands of a shameful traitor.

Realizing that the general situation was over, Orgrim regretted that he had trusted Gul'dan credulously, while gathering the siege troops to retreat to Hillsbrad.

Six years have passed since the Horde entered Azeroth, and the orc army has been relying on the surplus food plundered from the Stormwind Kingdom to support the army's supplies.

The aftermath of the First World War destroyed most of the food-producing areas of the Stormwind Kingdom, and the tribes with limited supplies could not afford it. This was the main reason why Orgrim decided to make a desperate attack on the Alliance headquarters.

However, with Gul'dan's betrayal, Orgrim's plan completely fell through.

Although they were very reluctant, they could only temporarily withdraw their troops and retreat all the way back to the original territory of the Stormwind Kingdom.

Afterwards, Orgrim intends to take a defensive position temporarily to ensure food output in the rear, and prepare for a long-term tug-of-war with the alliance.

...

When Sylvanas led Quel'Thalas' reinforcements into Tirisfal Glades, the battle for Lordaeron was over, leaving only the devastation in the forest.

In order to use local materials to manufacture catapults, the tribe cut down the forest wantonly, and the lush Tirisfal woodland was forcibly cut bare. When Sharlayan and others came, they could still see a large number of wooden piles left here.

"???"

"Fuck! What's going on? Change the map in a second?"

"Where is this? It doesn't look like Eversong Forest."

Since entering the state of high-speed marching, Sharlayan hadn't seen the barrage of bullets flying by for a long time, which made him feel a little unaccustomed.

The barrage that had been missing for a while did not reappear until entering the Tirisfal Glade.

"Ah... I probably understand what's going on."

After communicating with Sarlayan, who was also unclear, someone in the barrage gradually clarified the status quo.

"Although we don't know why, we can understand this vacant experience as a scene change in a film and television drama."

"The time on Sharlayan's side is still flowing normally, but the boss who made this system has reduced this part of the boring marching process. In our opinion, it is like changing scenes every second."

"So, it looks like the Battle of Lordaeron is over?"

Looking up at the dilapidated city walls of Lordaeron, Sharlayan nodded silently.

Sharlayan: "Sylvanas and Rommath have already gone to the city to understand the situation. It is said that the battle was fierce. The soldiers defending the city suffered heavy casualties, and the Horde's loss was several times that of the Alliance."

Red horned triple speed: "It's normal. Facing a fortified city of this level, the attacking party is already at a disadvantage. If they want to break through the city, they can only rely on numbers."

Although the marching speed had been accelerated as much as possible, the Quel'Thalas reinforcements set off more than a week late after all, and ultimately failed to catch up with the turning point that led to the reversal of the offensive and defensive positions of the two sides.

Having just gone through a great battle, Lordaeron is in a state of waste, and Terenas has many things to do.

Cirvanas and Rommath didn't stay in the city for long, they hurried out of the severely damaged city gate, and joined the large army waiting near the city gate.

"The Horde is retreating at full speed. King Terenas hopes that we will rush to the front line as soon as possible to join the Alliance's pursuit forces."

"Go in the direction of Hillsbrad Hills first, and I will explain slowly on the way."

Noticing the stares of Sharlayan and the others seeking knowledge, Cirvanas waved his hand to signal the army to move first.

Entering Hillsbrad through the Alterac trail on the shore of Lake Lordamere, Sharlayan and others encountered the aftermath troops left by the Alliance.

This army was led by Uther Lightbringer, one of the five first-generation paladins. They just broke through the Alterac Royal City full of rage, and captured all Alterac high-level officials, including King Aiden.

While the eloquent Rommath was exchanging information with Uther's lieutenant Saidan Dathrohan, Salayan and Valeera found Sylvanas in private and expressed their intention to leave the team.

"Act alone?"

Cirvanas raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Give me a reliable reason."

Without saying a word, Valeera took out a badge from her chest and showed it to Cirvanas.

A flying firebird is engraved on the front of the badge, which is the phoenix crest of the Sunstrider family, representing the bearer's special mission entrusted by the royal family.

"Royal coat of arms..."

Cirvanas lowered her head and thought for a while, she seemed to have guessed something, turned her head and glanced in the direction of the south bank of Lake Lordamere.

"Okay, it is approved to leave the team, I hope your mission can be successfully completed."

"Hey~"

Seeing off Cirvanas leading the large army to set off again, Sharlayan sighed regretfully.

"I thought I would encounter a big battle as soon as I came out, but unfortunately it was a step too late."

Valeera rolled her eyes angrily: "It's not good to be able to touch fish? Only you, a warlike madman, would think so."

Finally able to be alone with Sharlayan, Valeera was in a good mood at this moment, and grabbed Sarlayan's wrist and ran forward bouncingly.

"Come on, it's time to go to Dalaran to find Prince Kael'thas, I hope he didn't go out with the Kirin Tor council."
