How strong were the Orcs?
Before this day came, all the noble boys and girls in Storm Fortress did not have a clear understanding. Their parents had arranged for them to evacuate early. However, because of one reason, none of the nobles dared to evacuate their children early. The queen did not leave. As the only legitimate heir of the kingdom, Prince Varian Wrynn did not leave.
As the saying goes, follow the example of their superiors.
Even the queen and the prince stayed in Storm Fortress. Who would dare to send their children away first? As a result, almost all the nobles sent their womenfolk and underage children to Storm Fortress. To put it nicely, they would live and die with the kingdom. To put it bluntly, they were hostages.
Of course, adult children were entrusted with important tasks and sent to Southshore on the other side of the sea to set up an evacuation point. That was an entirely different matter.
No one thought that Storm Fortress, which was supposed to be safe and had a strong defense, would be ambushed!
When the mournful alarm bell rang, most people panicked and lost their heads.
"Honorable Queen, you should evacuate with His Highness. At least … at least hide, "the captain of the royal guards once said.
"Evacuate? Evacuate to where? Just defend. Either you defend until His Majesty returns, or you get killed by the Orcs. I am the Queen of Stormwind. I will not hide in a secret room and be killed by the filthy Orcs like a mouse in a sewer. "
The queen was speaking the truth. There was nowhere to run. Storm Fortress was located in the northeast of Stormwind City, in the innermost part of the valley. In the original design, this was the last resort. If they could not defend this place, then they would perish.
Storm Fortress was dangerous, but no matter how strong it was, there must be a sufficient number of soldiers stationed there. Now, the defense was empty and there was a lack of manpower. The entire Storm Fortress was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Now, a group of noble women and children were looking at her. If she, as the queen, took the lead and hid in a secret room, then even if Laing rushed back in the future, the people would be scattered, and the king's authority would be gone. Instead of that, it was better to stay in the throne room.
Stormwind's fate would be sealed if he was attacked!
The Queen dressed herself neatly with the help of the palace maids whose hands were trembling. William, who looked just as luxuriously dressed, sat on the throne of the Queen and the Prince in the hall. Around her and the little prince were hundreds of female nobles and their heirs, who had already turned ghastly pale.
Everyone was listening attentively.
Outside the fortress, the roars of orcs and the clashing of weapons could be heard clearly. Just like the needle of death, the sound of death and destruction was getting closer and closer, louder and clearer.
Then, when hundreds and thousands of heavy footsteps that were completely different from the sound of military boots rang out, when they heard the brutal footsteps that seemed to have come from ancient times being lifted and landed, this shocking fear had already penetrated the eardrums of all the women and children, reaching the deepest part of their hearts.
"Wu wu …" Soft sobs began to spread in the throne room.
"Enough! If destruction and death are our destiny! Then we should accept it calmly. If we are not fated to die, then we can't let today's loss of composure become the shame of our lives! " The Queen stood up proudly, holding the Queen's Scepter in her left hand, while her right hand held Prince William's left hand tightly.
The young prince's right hand held a gorgeous dagger tightly.
Everyone listened nervously to the sounds outside and looked at the group of guards in front of the door of the throne room. There stood the king's most trusted Sir Windsor, leading the last 12 royal guards. The weapon in Sir Windsor's hand was the famous [King's Protector]!
The floor of the throne room trembled as if a waiter was carrying a cup of water. Everyone's heart trembled slightly, just like the floor.
The fierce fighting and rough roars were getting closer and closer.
Until a ferocious scarlet hammer smashed open the door of the throne room that was as thick as a fist. It was a hammer that was stained with blood, internal organs, and broken limbs. The hammer was shaped like a standard cube. Scarlet blood dripped from the surface of the square hammer, making William feel that it was more like a bloody throne that was raised high up in the air.
As the door of the throne room let out a tragic cry and collapsed, a ferocious giant that seemed to have come from ancient times appeared at the door of the throne room. He had dark red skin and bulging muscles. On his protruding jaw, four fangs lined up on both sides. The outermost one was longer, while the innermost one was slightly shorter.
"Ahhhh —"
Just this terrifying appearance caused many noble ladies to let out terrifying screams before fainting from fright.
"Kill!" Under Windsor's command, all of the Imperial Guards charged forward.
Orgrim grinned. It was a disdainful smile. His right pauldron, which was decorated with thick fangs, lifted slightly, and a black gust of wind rose from his elbow.
So fast!
This thought flashed in the mind of the guard who first came into contact with Orgrim. He was dumbfounded as the hammer in his field of vision grew larger and larger. In less than half a breath's time, it occupied his entire field of vision.
His movements were not wrong. They were incomparably precise and concise. He had almost reached the limits of a human. However, in front of such an inhuman powerhouse, he could only be completely terrified. He could only helplessly open his mouth wide and watch as the opponent's giant hammer reached his face before his sword pierced it.
* Bam! * It was as if time had suddenly returned to normal.
The huge [Hammer of Destruction] hit the guard's head like a game of whack-a-mole. With a "pu" sound, the unstoppable force passed through the helmet and penetrated the Forbidden Guard's skull. Then, the terrifying force completely shattered his cervical vertebrae, causing his cervical vertebrae to completely fold into a single piece.
The force did not dissipate, and it continued to pass down.
In the next moment, the Royal Guard's facial features contorted. All the ribs in the chest cavity below his skull were stacked together. His brain juice, eyeballs, and other things, which had nowhere to go, spurted out from every hole in his skull the moment his skull was crushed.
The hammer continued to descend, and after it smashed the guard's head into his chest, half of his body was flattened.
The 1.9-meter-tall man turned into a "dwarf" soldier twitched for a moment before collapsing to the ground. The violent blood splattered on the marble floor of the throne room. A few drops of red even landed on a thirteen year old girl not far away. She was suffocating from fear.
