Duque wanted to curse out loud.
Isn't this bullsh * t? To hell with the North Stream Coast. Historically, Orgrim's army did not even travel there.
Laing could tell that Duque was unhappy, so he put his hand on Duque's shoulder and walked to the Alliance's headquarters in Southshore. It was a stone bunker that was about four stories high. This blockhouse had been built at the end of last month. Not only could it overlook the seaside, but it was also far enough away from the seaside. More importantly, if they didn't take down the two hills that surrounded Southshore, they wouldn't be able to threaten this place.
As for those two hills, they had long since been melted by Fort Duke.
Laing looked at the map and said in one breath.
"Actually, our forces here are already very strong. Most of the army will still be gathered here. After all, the Alliance chose to station here because this place is in the center of the Eastern Kingdom, and we can quickly use ships to travel to any corner of the continent. "
"We have 50,000 veterans, 50,000 new soldiers, and nearly 100,000 militia who have undergone basic military training. Of course, this is all we have. If we use it all, there are almost no men left in Stormwind. "
"What we lack are cavalry and archers. Fortunately, in three days, the Highland Knights and the 3rd Infantry will arrive. That way, we will have 1,000 cavalry and 6,000 light infantry. Almost at the same time, Alterac's Eagle Knights and the 2nd Mountain Infantry will also arrive. "
"Four days later, the 2nd Dalajan Mage Division and the 1st and 2nd Infantry will arrive. And Lordaeron's Grand Duke Mograine and General Abbendis's Scarlet Cross will only arrive in at least 10 days. "
After listening to Laing's narration, Duque sighed.
According to the military mobilization capabilities of this era, this was already a very impressive speed.
Do not think that the Highland Knights of the Highland Knights were stationed next to the Saladin Wall between the Arathi Highlands and the Hillsbrad Hills. It was less than a day's journey from the east to the west to Southshore.
In fact, when the army set off, there were as many things to do as the stars in the sky. And this was because of the invasion of the Orcs. The various countries had already entered a state of war. If it was during peaceful times, it would probably take even longer.
Similarly, the Dalajan to the northwest of Southshore and Alterac to the north weren't too far away. Both of them could be reached within a day on a fast horse. Duque was already burning incense for being able to arrive so quickly. These standing armies were also the foundation of the various countries. If Duque easily wiped them out, it would not be so easy when he wanted them again.
On November 5th, when the last batch of soldiers arrived at the huge barracks outside Southshore, there were already two commanders-in-chief, seven kings, and more than 30 generals gathered in the hilltop command post.
Everyone was full of praise for the barracks that Duque had set up in advance.
They had built a large circle of wooden walls in advance, as well as well-positioned arrow towers. Furthermore, every military camp was close to the river, making it easy to obtain water. At the same time, for the sake of the army's attack, several spacious roads were planned in advance. With this arrangement, the generals of the various countries almost thought that they were leading an army on a long journey to train.
As Lothar's adjutant, Turalyon reported to the kings.
"First is the information from the Copper-Bearded Dwarves. The Iron Furnace Fort is still besieged by nearly 100,000 orcs. According to the battle flags, the main force of the siege should be the tribe's Blood Ring clan. "Turalyon first placed ten statues of ten thousand orcs on top of the Iron Furnace Fort.
"Then there is the Sador Bridge. After repeated investigations by Stromgard's Griffin Knights, the number of orcs here will not be less than 50,000." Turalyon then placed five orcs on the bridge.
"Finally, there is the wetland. According to the investigation of Deputy Commander Marcus' Naga and Fishmen, at the edge of the wetland on the south coast of the sea, more than 200,000 orcs have built at least 20,000 transport ships. This kind of transport ship can carry about 30 orc warriors, and the medium can carry about 100 people. For the time being, there is no large enemy ship. "
"Then we have confirmed the banners of the big clans in the wetland camp. They are Blackstone, Warsong, Fireblade, Dragonmaw, Storm Reaver (Storm Reaver), Twilight Hammer, and Scar. Including the orcs, a conservative estimate of the tribe's total population is more than 600,000. "
Fortunately, the map was large enough, a full three meters by three meters. Otherwise, the wetland area would not be able to accommodate 60 orc statues.
"Wow!" Although they knew that the orcs were powerful, after knowing the number of the enemy, the big bosses could not help but exclaim, "The entire Southshore army added up to more than 200,000."
"What are you afraid of! If all the ships are of this quality, even if there are ten times more of them, I, Kurtiras, can destroy them all without the need for an alliance. "Dahlin said confidently.
Indeed, even though Southshore's dock had been expanded by Duque again and again, there were five stone docks that stretched nearly 150 meters away from the coast, but it still could not accommodate all the ships.
Through the window of the fort, the kings looked at the sea in front of them. Not only did Proudmoore's ships dock at the head of the dock, but they were also docked along the entire coastline. From small fast scout ships to standard destroyers, to huge warships that were more than 100 meters long, the waves rose and fell, forming a forest of warships that rose and fell on the surface of the sea.
This was only Kurtiras's first and third fleets, as well as the Storm Fleet, which only had 100 warships. There was also a second fleet on the other side of the Northstream coast, and Kurtiras's home defense fleet had not been deployed yet.
Every king felt a sense of pride, and suddenly they were filled with confidence. How could there be someone or something that could resist such a powerful fleet?
No, it wasn't just the fleet!
After being caught off guard and unable to adapt to the situation, both sides began to form tactics, and the human side's casualties began to plummet. At the beginning, it was one orc warrior for ten human soldiers, but now it was one for two or three. If it was a well-organized formation of human soldiers, even on the plains, 100 human soldiers with a complete set of soldiers could easily defeat 100 Orc Warriors.
But then, Lothar could not help but imagine the scene of the Horde taking down the Redridge Mountains, sweeping through the Elven Forest, and bathing the entire Stormwind in blood.
It was a green sea that no one could truly stop!
Lothar took a deep breath, and his expression became determined again. In the past, the Stormwind army was weak, but now the Alliance army was many times stronger than the Stormwind army. No matter what, they could stop the Horde's attack.
