The defense of Lordaeron was over.
It ended with the Alliance's victory.
However, this was not a satisfactory result for either side.
They did not win big when they should, and they did not lose when they should.
Orgrim retreated back to the Alterac Mountains. It was obvious that he would choose to pass through Alterac and return to the Hinterlands. He would then board the ship at the Sea Cliff and return to the Southern Continent to find Gul 'dan.
As for Grom and his Warsong Tribe Beastmen, their whereabouts were a mystery. Grom was no longer as aggressive as before. He purposely avoided all human towns and restrained his subordinates, hiding in the boundless forest.
Everyone knew what kind of damage thirty thousand Beastmen could do. If left alone, they would be able to destroy the only core area of Lordaeron.
It was not a good feeling to have enemies hiding right under their noses.
King Terenas came to find Duque almost as soon as the battle ended.
"Please! We must not let these evil green-skinned beasts go! I need the support of the Elven Rangers! Including Quel 'Thalas, and your direct ranger! If possible, I hope you can personally lead the attack on this tribe. "
"I'm sorry, but I have more important things to do. We must first send people to save the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza. Otherwise, when Taranis comes again, no one will be able to fight him. Your Majesty, that's a real Ancient Red Dragon that can destroy a kingdom all by itself. "
Terenas was shocked. "Didn't you and Sir Antonidas work together to defeat that giant lizard?"
"No! He obviously held back. I can feel that he doesn't want to fight the Alliance. "Antonidas' words helped Duque out of the situation.
Duque suddenly said, "Actually, I used Aurelia's Whisper of the Wind to tell Taranis that the Alliance will save the Red Dragon Queen as soon as possible. I hope he won't attack us with full force."
What an explosive news.
"A real dragon!" Noxus stroked his beard.
In order to maintain morale and deceive the people, they could of course say that the great Alliance hero Antonidas and Duke Marcus worked together to defeat the Red Dragon. But after hearing this inside story, every king and general's face darkened.
That was an existence that violated the rules.
It could render all strategies and tactics useless.
In the face of this level of power, the battle between humans and beastmen was not even worth mentioning. Ever since Duque had crossed over to the World of Azeroth with the identity of a poor college student, he had been prepared to fight all kinds of unscientific non-human monsters in the future after he had gained a foothold.
For example, Dragons, Elemental Kings, Ancient Gods …
Unfortunately, when it came down to it, Duque still felt that he was not ready. After all, in the game before he transmigrated, any giant dragon would be a proper game template. The problem was that he had transmigrated here alone. This was not like the game, where he could gather 25 companions who could revive infinitely and form a party to fight a boss!
The only thing that could make Duque feel at ease was that he now had Aurelia and other strong people who had stepped into the realm of heroes to help him.
Kudran Wildhammer stroked his orange-red, well-combed beard. "Actually, we can also think on the bright side. If we can really save Alexstrasza, maybe the Red Dragon Army will side with the Alliance. After all, these big lizards were forced to fight with the Alliance before. "
King Solas sighed. "The problem is that we don't even know where the Red Dragon Queen is."
"This …" King Laing raised his hand. "According to the intelligence of my subordinates, it is very likely that she is in the wetlands, in the dwarven fortress of Grim Batol."
Duque had been hesitating about whether to reveal the truth. Seeing that the bandits from MI7 in Stormwind were so powerful, he was relieved.
Solas was very excited. If they could deal with the Red Dragon Queen, the pressure on Torrential Fortress would definitely be greatly reduced. "Really? Then can the special ops team from Stormwind …"
Laing smiled bitterly and shook his head. "My people lack funds. They have already done their best to get this information."
"Then leave it to the elite secret forces of Lordaeron to handle this matter." King Terenas was full of confidence.
Duque really did not want to hurt Terenas's confidence.
Regardless of whether Terenas's bandits could deal with the mysterious Demon's Soul, according to the original history, it was the famous Black Dragon King, Neltharion, who was now known as "Wings of Death", who had really tricked Alexstrasza into the hands of the Horde!
Would Wings of Death let Terenas's silly bandits save the Red Dragon Queen before he achieved his goal?
Duque could almost imagine the tragedy that would befall the elite bandits of Lordaeron.
Unfortunately, he could not reveal the truth.
After the leaders of the Alliance thought that they had settled the matter of the Red Dragon Army, the meeting entered the main topic — how to wipe out the Horde.
Under the premise that they were united against a common enemy, the meeting went very smoothly. There was no more wrangling and shoving like when the Alliance was first established.
The main goal was as follows: push the frontline to the Dwarven Kingdom of Khaz Modan as soon as possible before winter, and rescue the besieged Iron Stove Castle.
At this moment, the hundreds of thousands of Alliance troops gathered in Lordaeron were divided into three fronts:
Close to 200,000 Lordaeron troops, with the help of Cuel Salas and Duque's Elven Rangers, tried to wipe out the Horde that had escaped to the Tirisfal Forest. Even if they could not wipe out all of them, they had to reduce the number of Horde in the area to an acceptable range. For example, below 3,000.
Terenas planned to surround and annihilate these Orcs with a large army and a high bounty.
The second route was the Gryphon Legion and the Wildhammer Dwarves' Gryphon Knights from the Hinterlands. There was a total of 50,000 soldiers chasing after the remnants of Orgrim's army to ensure that they were eliminated, or at least to drive them out of Lordaeron permanently.
This route was not difficult. Unless Orgrim gave up on killing Gul 'dan, it was basically an armed parade to send the Horde out of the Lordaeron Continent.
The third route was the armies of the other countries. They would be led by Lothar back to the Wall of Thoradin, hoping to recover the fallen Arathi Highlands within two months, and drive the Horde back to the south bank of Sador Bridge.
After the meeting, Duque rubbed his eyebrows.
The second Battle of the Dark Portal was finally coming to an end.
Back at the state guesthouse, Alleria massaged Duke's shoulders to relax. How did elves grow? Alleria's fingers didn't even have a callus after a long time of drawing a bow and nocking an arrow?
Just as Duque was about to say something, a shocking news came — the Archbishop of the Holy Light, Alonsus Faol, was critically ill.
