While the two of them were talking, the Alterac Kingdom's army had already moved over.

Lothar noticed a problem, "Prince Aidan, your Dragon Knights are indeed impressive, but the strength of the Alterac Legion seems to be too few, and the equipment seems to be average."

Murphy shrugged, "There is no way. Because of the death of my father in battle, the nobles within the kingdom launched a rebellion. The king's main force is in the process of clearing the rebel nobles. These soldiers are already all the troops that can be mobilized."

The veteran on the side showed his sword but was not happy.

"War relies on formation, training and coordination, but good equipment does not guarantee victory."

Lothar nodded: "That's true. Those orcs have crude weapons and broken armor, but they are also difficult to deal with with their bravery. Soldiers from the Kingdom of Storm often need two people to compete with one orc soldier. I heard that Ice

In the Battle of Wolf Plains, the Alterac army defeated an almost equal number of orc troops. It was considered to be an extremely powerful army.

Please don’t pay attention to what I just said.”

Seeing Lothar being so humble, the veteran showed his sword and had nothing to say.

"Haha, you old man has some eyesight. Even though we are dispatched by militia troops, when it comes to tactical use, it is definitely second to none. But then again, you guys are both Dukes and Princes, don't you think so?

Have you thought about who will be the commander-in-chief?

What is important in war is the execution of orders and prohibitions, and the smooth flow of military orders. It is impossible without a leader."

These words made several people look thoughtful.

It is important for people to be self-aware, and Murphy is very clear about his military command capabilities. It is better not to command randomly in such a large-scale war.

Destroying enemy forces by yourself is your strength.

Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Grand Duke Lothar, Prince Trollbane, as well as the violent Master Gandalf, and Master Voldemort, the army must have someone under its control when it goes to war. Although the four of us form a coalition, I

I think there must be a commander with sufficient military experience, and infantry, cavalry, mage troops, and flying troops all need to be commanded by professionals in order to better display their combat effectiveness. Do you think this is the case?"

Lothar nodded, "Does Prince Aidan have any suggestions?"

"I recommend that Duke Lothar serve as the commander-in-chief of the left coalition forces and also command all infantry and long-range troops.

Prince Trollbane commands the cavalry force, the two archmages command the mage force, and I am responsible for commanding the air force.

In this way, the combat effectiveness of each arm can be maximized.”

Prince Trollbane had no objection to this. Duke Lothar participated in the First Orc War and won many victories in the war, and his status was transcendent enough. Lothar was the only direct bloodline inheritance of the Arathi Empire.

From the perspective of noble status, it is not much better than the status of other kings.

The two archmages also nodded.

The position distribution has been decided, and knights are immediately dispatched to inform the entire army.

Trollbane gathered the cavalry together, and the rangers were sent out as scouts to conduct reconnaissance. The heavy cavalry was used as a decisive assault force. Duke Lothar also reorganized the infantry formation and took command personally.

As for Murphy, he gained command of all flying units.

This is exactly what he needs. When fighting, he will definitely transform into a dragon. The infantry and cavalry are not easy to command anyway, so he might as well change into flying troops.

Seeing that he had entered the predetermined battlefield, Mo Fei no longer covered himself up and directly transformed into the Storm Dragon King, letting out a roar, and the dragon knights in the army immediately responded.

Looking at the giant dragon Lothar and Trollbane in front of them, they were dazzled.

Is this the power of the dragon? I am still amazed.

Edandron (Storm Dragon King): "Skywatchers of the Dragonsorrow Knights, giant eagle hunters of the Stromgarde Kingdom, and Storm Griffin Cavalry of the Stormwind Kingdom. Now, listen to my orders and attack!"

With a wave of his wings, he soared into the sky, and the Dragon Sky Patroller, the Giant Eagle Hunter from the Stromgarde Kingdom, and the Griffin Knight from the Stormwind Kingdom also took off.

There were more than a thousand flying troops, and the shadows of their wings almost covered the sky.

The collective action of such a large air force immediately caused a burst of cheers from the soldiers marching below.

Murphy sent dozens of gryphon knights and giant eagle hunters to conduct reconnaissance, while he led the main force to fly over the army.

Soon the scouts brought something unexpected to him. A black dragon appeared in the tribe's army.

This made Murphy a little surprised. Why did the black dragon get involved with the orcs again? Historically, Deathwing did use the orcs to steal the dragon's soul, and then used the dragon's soul to control the Red Dragon Queen and her heirs.

, fight for the tribe.

Could it be that history is repeating itself again? But why the black dragon? Did the orcs use the dragon soul to capture Morpheus?

That kid can't be that good, can he?

Murphy did not rush to launch an attack, but took advantage of the air superiority to observe the situation on the battlefield.

At this moment, the armies of the Alliance and the Horde have entered the vast swamp area of ​​the wetland and are gradually approaching each other.

Whether it is the size of the troops or the quality of the troops, this battle will surpass the first and second Battle of Black Gate. It can be said to be an unprecedented battle.

Even compared to the battle between the Centaur Empire and the Night Elves, it was more grand.

But unlike the two battles of Black Gate and the Battle of Ashvale, due to the complex terrain of the wetlands, the armies of both sides were separated by rivers, swamps, and hills, and were scattered over a huge cross-section of hundreds of kilometers.

superior.

The armies of different kingdoms and clans were sparsely connected, forming a long and uneven battle line.

As the two fronts continued to approach, fighting also broke out.

First, there was a small-scale conflict between the flying units of both sides, then the cavalry units acting as scouts launched a series of chases, and then, the infantry units that advanced the fastest also encountered each other's opponents.

The long-range troops of both sides began to project firepower on each other, and the spellcasters blasted all kinds of destructive magic towards the opponent's dense military formation.

The infantry launched a charge, but it was limited to the muddy swamp and could not break through quickly. Instead, it became the target of the enemy's long-range firepower.

Even if you defeat the opponent, it will be difficult to pursue them. The constant appearance of muddy areas and rivers makes the battle become encounters in small areas.

Murphy originally thought that this battle would be an extremely heroic battle, but to everyone's surprise, the war began to unfold in a slow and struggling way.

Since the swampy area was inconvenient for rapid advancement, and the dense rivers made pursuit after the confrontation even more difficult, the battle lasted for more than an hour, and neither side was able to make any substantial progress.

It's just that the battle lines have become closer.

Looking down from high in the sky, a sparse army of one million soldiers formed two huge groups of troops, squeezing each other.

Murphy couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at it. He had originally planned to send a wave of divine soldiers from the sky when the battle between the two sides was at its fiercest, but now there was no chance.

——————

At this moment - the army in the tribe -

Saurfang (high-ranking warlord): "Warchief! Those Alliance scum are in trouble. Three attacks launched by our left wing were repelled again. The muddy ground makes it impossible for the Wolf Knight to run."

Orgrim was not surprised by this situation, "It doesn't matter, I had expected all this. The war with the Alliance will never end so easily. I have already prepared Ner'zhul to become the Balrog."

The moment the lord is summoned is the time for our counterattack, but before that, all we have to do is hold back the momentum."

This is Orgrim's real ultimate move. Ragnaros was successfully summoned when he attacked Stormwind City. With the experience last time, it should be possible this time. Even if it can only exist for a few minutes, it will be enough.

It changed the dynamics of the war.

"Have you seen that hill? Ner'zhul and his shaman are performing rituals there. You must protect this key point - by the way, let the chiefs of those clans climb up for me. If I do it again this time

If they dare to be too timid to move forward, they will be chopped down and fed to the wolves."

Saurfang immediately sent someone to convey the order.

Soon the messenger came to several troops ready to go.

The Wolf Clan, the Saber Clan, the Warhammer Clan, the Beast Blood Clan...these were all deliberately selected by Orgrim. In previous battles, each of them preferred to preserve their strength. Today, they had to make some efforts and sell some blood.

Several chiefs were gathering together and discussing something in whispers, which made the orc captain who was responsible for delivering the order very unhappy. The orcs didn't like the feeling of secretly whispering behind their backs.

"Hey, you guys, the chief has issued an order to lead the soldiers to the front line immediately. If you dare to be cowardly, we will kill them all and feed them to the wolves."

These chiefs were very straightforward. After hearing this, without saying a word, they immediately shouted and led the soldiers to the front line and joined the front-line battle.

Orgrim was a little surprised when he heard the news brought back by the messenger. Didn't he expect that these chiefs were also quite brave?

He was not completely reassured and continued to pay attention to the battlefield. At this time, battles between the Alliance and the Horde were happening all the time, and battle reports continued to come from the front line.

Orgrim will allocate troops and deploy troops based on battle reports.

On the huge sand table, five or six flags representing the clan have been placed.

In the sky, Murphy also noticed the movements of those clans.

The large-scale mobilization of 30,000 troops was obviously preparing to launch a wave of fierce attacks.

Murphy judged the location of their attack and immediately prepared to lead troops there to add more troops.

However, when he was leading his flying troops to hover over that position, ready to join the battle at any time, a strange private message suddenly appeared in his address book.

Lawrence: I said brother Aidan, don’t grab monsters.

Murphy was speechless. What the hell was going on in his mind? I came here to help out of my kindness, but why am I trying to snatch monsters? This isn't killing monsters in the wild, this is fighting.

The opposite side is full of elite soldiers and generals of the orcs. What you said is a bit of a joke.

Aidan: A large force of orcs is attacking your position. Let me support you.

Lawrence: No, we are responsible for the defense here. We don’t need any help. Please let me know. Thank you.

Murphy was almost angry, he was really desperate for his life.
