Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 489: Duke the Duke
Chapter 489 - Duke the Duke
Inside the stone pillar was the portal itself, glowing green and black, brimming with energy.
To mages like Antonidas, it was still a huge vortex, emitting energy and some strange feelings in a large space. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"I can feel the gate extending, embedding deeply into the earth, absorbing the energy from the underground magic network." Antonidas reminded Lothar.
There were over ten thousand orcs gathered in front of the gate, but they didn't seem to know what to do.
They no longer lived in clans, perhaps because of the continuous defeats and the capture of the chief, they lost trust in each other. They no longer trusted each other, but became families or hunting parties.
This is not an army, but a bunch of squads.
"We don't have much supplies, prepare for the attack! Destroy them with all your strength." Lothar did not hesitate, intending to directly press the entire front army and destroy these orcs with simple and violent means.
"Hey, Anduin, wait." Duke suddenly stopped Lothar.
"Hmm?" As a commander, it was embarrassing to have his decision stopped by his subordinates. Duke was different. Duke and Lothar were absolutely close friends. Lothar didn't mind.
Duke walked up to Lothar and whispered quietly, "Did you notice that Lordaeron is very embarrassed this time?"
"So what?" Lothar was a pure warrior and was not very good at such political things.
"Our supplies have been reduced. It's not because the supply lines are too long." The people of Lordaeron reduced supplies to the front line, arguing that the supply lines were too long. It sounded like there was nothing wrong with it, because Lordaeron, located in the north of the northern continent, was farther away from any other country except Quel'Thalas, the farthest country.
In the final analysis, because he couldn't get any benefits and lost face, Terenas was in a bad mood.
The result was an army attacking the Dark Portal, and much of the supply was borne by the devastated Stormwind Kingdom. Even after regaining the territory of Stormwind Kingdom, Duke immediately used cement to build a road starting from Stormwind City and running from west to east through the entire Elwynn Forest, but there were still many problems.
Because Redridge Mountains was recently recaptured, the remaining road conditions from Redridge Mountains through the Swamp of Sorrows to the Cursed Lands are still life-threatening. Redridge Mountains are mountainous and narrow. The Swamp of Sorrows is a bad road. If you are not careful, the wheels will get stuck in the dirt and can't get out.
Lothar frowned, savoring Duke's words.
"What do you think is the best way to fight?"
"Didn't Duke Chamas mention this a while ago when chatting about why not let some orcs go mining?"
As everyone knows, Duke Chamas is the confidant of King Terenas, and his opinions are actually the opinions of King Terenas. King Terenas is too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he is the one to test the attitudes of various countries.
In this life, history has changed a lot.
In the original history, on the one hand, Lordaeron did not suffer such a heavy loss. The Alliance captured many orc prisoners. In order to drag down other allied countries, Terenas proposed to set up orc prisons in various countries.
Due to Duke's involvement, Lordaeron suffered a huge loss. It was very satisfying when trying to win military merit, but the loss of population made even Terenas, a wealthy man, feel the pain.
In the Battle of Blackrock Spire, more than 60,000 people of Lordaeron were killed or injured. It can be predicted that in the next few years, many fields in the territory will be uncultivated, not to mention the already high-risk industries such as mining.
Terenas has some evil intentions. Is he planning to recruit some orcs to work as miners?
If all else fails, bring more orc captives and parade them around Lordaeron to calm the public anger!
Lothar was a noble man, he was disgusted with the slaughter of captives and women, even the orcs who committed the massacre. But he had no objection to pulling orcs to work as miners.
And it has been proven time and again that Duke's foresight is far superior to his and Llane's. Lothar smiled: "Then, you will come to this battle?"
"I'll do it if you want!" Duke agreed and waved to Magni: "Magni, get to work!"
"Okay!" Seeing Magni moving his big dwarf butt and rushing to Duke's side happily, the Alliance bosses were a little speechless.
The Alliance Commander has the power to command those big guys who are written as generals and read as kings. That's only on paper. You are a king, but you are so obedient. It's really...
Magni doesn't care about that.
The secret of blitzkrieg that Duke taught him made the dwarf proud in the final battle.
Don't you humans always brag that humans are the main force of the alliance?
Who launched a surprise attack in the final battle and turned the tide?
Dwarf Tank Corps.
Who killed the most orcs?
The Dwarf Tank Legion!
Now seeing those human idiots looking at the Tank Corps' lightning flag with envy, Magni felt so proud. The only thing that made him depressed was why when he asked Duke to draw the Tank Corps' battle flag, the pattern was a sloth with a lightning symbol on its back?
"Aren't dwarves always ridiculed for their short legs? Now, as long as you drive a tank and fly the lighting flag, which is recognized as slow, to overtake, who would dare to laugh at you dwarves for running slowly?"
This is the truth, but I always feel that it is not majestic enough.
Never mind. In the Battle of Blackrock Spire, the Lightning Tank Corps killed more than 150,000 orcs. This feat was enough for the boastful dwarves to brag about in the tavern for a thousand or eight hundred years.
Then, there was a loud bang from the cannon and the tanks appeared on the scene.
Sitting on the front tank's roof, Duke held the girl in each hand, projecting a huge blue phantom storm flag onto the tank.
The exact same storm flag of Edmund Duke.
It once pierced Stormwind City, killing hundreds of thousands of orcs in the fire.
It was once planted in Southshore, trapping 100,000 orcs on the beach.
It was once inserted outside Silvermoon City, preventing 100,000 tribes from advancing.
It also once hovered above a group of steam tanks in the Battle of the Burning Gorge, witnessing the death of hundreds of thousands of orcs in that devastating bombardment.
It is the nightmare of the Horde, and it symbolizes the god of death of mankind - Edmund Duke!
The mere appearance of this flag made tens of thousands of orcs unable to control their bodies and tremble like sieves.
Duke's voice was amplified by magic and rang out throughout the battlefield. It was a broadcast in Orcish.
"I am Edmund Duke, the Grand Duke of Stormwind. I declare for the last time that all orcs will not be killed if they surrender. Otherwise... cry! Shout! And then die - hahahaha!"
The evil declaration was filled with arrogance and terror. Without Duke's achievements, it would just be the barking of a mad dog. But this was the declaration of Edmund Duke!
One, two... countless.
The orcs dropped their weapons with a thud, knelt down before Duke as if they were making a pilgrimage, lowered their proud heads that they had once thought they would never lower, and prostrated themselves on the ground.
Many years later, on that day every year, countless old orcs still recall the horror of having the entire battlefield dominated by the great demon Duke, and the shame of being helpless in front of the demon Duke and having to surrender.
