A few days ago, although more and more refugees were flooding into Stormwind City for refugees, they were basically stable. In addition to the large investment in food supply and maintaining public order, there were basically no problems.

But now, the upper class of the kingdom, including those senior generals who were originally confident, nobles, members of the parliament, and even King Varian, have no longer had the calm and calm mind before.

Countless nobles and wealthy merchants and farmers who knew the news in advance or realized that the news was not right, began to transfer their important property and family members, and let them take the mine subway to the safer Danmoro in the north, and take refuge in the iron furnace fort of the Wild Hammer Dwarf...

Of course, some rich ship owners and wealthy businessmen with boats even began to form teams with each other, intending to take a boat to go out to sea with armed forces, venture across the endless sea, and go to the safer Kalimdo, and go to the Theramore, which is said to be very safe in the dust swamp?

Anyway, until now, as long as they have the ability, they basically try every means to run away early! Those who escaped early naturally led to a little chaos and turbulence in the city, forcing the security forces of Stormwind City to draw more troops that were already stretched to join the public security operations that maintain order.

In general, compared with the crowded but not too chaotic Storm City a few days ago, the city has gradually become chaotic... Countless Storm City residents are crowded at the gate of the mine tunnel subway in the Storm City dwarf area, anxiously looking forward to being arranged by others to the next batch of mine tunnel trains to take refuge in Tieluburg...

And all this was caused by the big event that happened three days ago!

Three days ago, in the west of Elvin Forest, the West Spring Fortress, which defended the western wilderness and entered the main road of Elvin Forest, was captured by the Defia bandits... After more than 2,000 soldiers were killed, only the Grand Duke of Bewalfortagen led less than half of the remaining soldiers and emergency evacuated from the secret passage of the fortress with some refugee gates, rushed northward across Mingjing Lake overnight, and fled back to Stormwind on the next day, two days ago, in a panic evening...

As of today, according to information returned by the spies and the Sheriff Marshall Duhan, who was still in the mood to escape and seek merit, the Sheriff had also been captured by the enemy two days ago, with zero soldiers killed... Most of the townsmen have also retreated to Stormwind City safely, and the rest have also retreated to the North County to the north.

The rebels of Defia are said to have passed the Shanjin Town and are sweeping towards Stormwind City in the northwest. It is expected that within the next two days, they will definitely arrive outside the gate of Stormwind City Hero Valley!

“…”

"Everyone! Now the situation in our Stormwind City and our Storm Kingdom has become very critical!"

"I believe you all know... The Defia rebels from the western wilderness are coming towards our Stormwind City! According to the reconnaissance report of our Griffon Knights, according to the speed of the rebels' march, they are expected to arrive outside the first gate outside the Hero Valley of Stormwind City tomorrow evening or the morning after tomorrow!"

"At the beginning, our plan to defend Stormwind City and all the offensive and defensive arrangements were not too big a mistake... but some changes suddenly appeared... But no matter what, now that things have come, don't say much nonsense. You all discuss how to do it to successfully defend our city?"

He glanced at the King's Hall with a calm eyes. The nobles and congressmen, who were whispering, flickering, or had a little unfair look, looked at the nobles and congressmen who looked a little unfair. Finally, after Varian finished speaking, he looked at the Grand Duke of Berval, who was wearing armor covered with burn marks and dirt, and had scabbed wounds on his face.

Varian felt that the other party had fought with the rebels of Difia, so Varian wanted to get specific ways to fight those enemies from the other party.

However, unfortunately, the other party seemed to have no good idea now, so after seeing Varian's gaze, he just shook his head slightly helplessly and wryly.

Boval has indeed experienced the combat effectiveness of the enemy's troops personally...

The combat power of those ogres, Stranglethorn trolls and werewolves is simply a group of mobs. There is nothing comparable to Stormwind's elite city defense garrison and the most powerful Royal Guard!

But those goblin cannons need to be a little careful? But now Stormwind City is condescending and has an absolute defensive advantage. Moreover, various guarding equipment is complete. Big and small catapults and dwarf cannons may not be afraid of those damn goblin siege cannons!

As for the opponent's Diffia Republic's Plate Array troops, although he had never fought, he would not have much combat effectiveness. After all, the opponent's background is too shallow, and Berval would definitely not believe how big the appearance of those guys can have in the battle.

So, apart from the other party's latest variables, he actually had nothing to worry about.

"Dear Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Calculate the time. If I remember correctly, our reinforcements from the Northern Expedition Army should be about to arrive in Stormwind City now, right?"

At this moment, Duke Elroeblock, who was relaxed, smiled and stood up directly with an indifferent attitude when he saw that no one wanted to speak first.

Anyway, his family and property had been transferred to Iron Fort a few days in advance. In addition, he still had two strong griffins in the courtyard of the house in Stormwind City, so he had already prepared for it, and now he is really not in a hurry at all!

Even if Stormwind City cannot be defended by then, at worst, he will fly to Danmoro with his confidant butler and the subordinates of the griffin administrator of Yese Town. And those nobles who used to mock him, those short-sighted guys, are they still worried about getting a few more subway tickets?

He knew very well...the price of subway tickets to Ironforge is not comparable a few days ago. At this critical moment, King Varian ordered that enough seats be reserved on each train to provide free for the people of Stormwind City to evacuate, so that there are not many tickets left for each train. When rich people want to evacuate in advance, each one can be sold at a sky-high price!

"If you want to talk about the reinforcements that returned..."

"They are indeed coming soon! Our griffin scouts have been in contact with the fleet... Now their fleet has passed through the Strait of Denmorro, and you can almost see the stretching mountains in the north of Stormwind City..."

"But even so, their fleet will take at least four to five days to reach the port of Stormwind City!"

After looking at the Duke of Eberlock, who seemed to be a little gloating, Varian frowned and thought for a while, and finally said truthfully.

In this place, the other party is not the core of the Storm Kingdom, but he is only qualified to stand here with the title of this duke... After all, due to the environment, Twilight Forest has been abandoned from the bottom of their hearts, so the other party was excluded from the core upper circle of the kingdom a long time ago.

"Dear Your Majesty, I don't understand very much..."

"Since our reinforcements will be able to reach Stormwind in four days, what are we going to worry about now? With the excellent fortifications of our Stormwind, it doesn't matter even if the front external gate was captured by the Difia rebels, because... our Valley of Heroes is the most magnificent artificial barrier!"

"I have seen the city defense fortifications these two days. Since the river water of the Thunder Falls was introduced into the Hero Valley in Storm City, any enemy who wants to cross this barrier can only forcibly rush through our narrow ephemeral bridge that only allows ten horses to run in parallel! I believe that no matter who our enemy is, even those crazy and bloodthirsty orcs from that year, they can't rush... Not to mention the miscellaneous army of the Difia rebels who pieced together based on their number of people, various monsters and mercenaries!"

Anyway, his family and property had been transferred safely, so Duke Elroebrock was also willing to speak in a good way, and in addition, he actually thought so.

The rebuilt Stormwind City has no doubt about its defense and can be easily defended for more than a few months. No one can deny this! So now, they only need to hold on for three or five days. At that time, the most elite reinforcements from the return of the Northern Expedition will arrive successfully. So what are they going to worry about?

Or...they are hiding something from themselves?

However, the military intelligence agency reported that Elro himself had seen it, and did not find any special situation in it? What exactly is that it makes these guys suddenly become so worried?

"Duke Eberlock...you may not know that the situation is different now than before!"

After glanced at Duke Elroebrock with a slightly unnaturally, Varian sighed and shook his head helplessly. Some things were not said openly, but many people here had already realized it, and this was the root of the storm of Stormwind City that changed in vain in the past three days.

"I didn't see any difference, and the enemy did not increase their troops. What's the difference?"

"Your Majesty the King... I think there is something you don't need to hide, right? You also know that the enemy will be at the city tomorrow, right? So, I think you should make it clear with openness..."

Duke Elroebrock was a little puzzled, and then he looked at the Grand Duke of Bervalftagen, who was standing first in the king's head, then looked at Marcus Jonathan, the general of Stormwind, the supreme commander of Stormwind's defense force, and then looked at some other people who were closer to the king, and he soon discovered that the real power figures of Stormwind's city were not very good-looking, and they all knew something tacitly, so he understood something.

Then, he asked the king loudly.

Now, this is the case. If King Varian still wants to conceal the news, then what else can I do? After the disbandment, Elro himself will take the griffin to the Iron Fortress to take refuge, so that the bastards who are still hesitating and fight with the enemy!

Anyway, no one would be willing to send troops to snatch his Twilight Forest territory back, right?

"Actually... there is nothing that cannot be said. We just don't want to cause greater confusion..."

"This is the thing: the leader of our MI7, Pasonia Shore... I believe you all know it? She set out three days ago and planned to assassinate the leader of Defia's bandit Vanessa Van Cliff... But unfortunately, she failed... and the person who killed her was said to be the leader of the Fire Alliance, the queen of the Fire Kingdom Anne Hasta!"

"And now, according to our secret spies in the enemy's army, the powerful demigod mage, who is still staying in the enemy's army, will definitely participate in the offensive and defensive battle in Stormwind City... This is not good news for us..."

"Or it can be said that the Queen of Fire, she is a huge threat to our Stormwind City! Even... is far stronger than those Defia rebels!"

This is why most of the Storm's senior officials, including King Varian, are worried! A powerful mage should be as powerful as the former guardian of Tiris. In the upcoming Storm City offensive and defensive battle, the threat to them is too great!

Otherwise, those who received the news would not go crazy and want to leave Stormwind City as soon as possible! Now, this news is just some people already know it, but they have not disclosed it to the public that is not a secret.

"Your Majesty the King, the other party is just a more powerful mage. Isn't it like this?"

Duke Elroeblock has been tossing this in the Twilight Forest and Night Town over the years. It is obviously too much behind Stormwind City, and he doesn't know the specific information about the Fire Queen.

In fact, most people here don’t know much. They only know that a few years ago, when the undead natural disasters raged on the Lordaeron continent, the other party forced the entire Lordaeron continent with the help of those powerful fire elements, drove away Alsace, and created the huge flame alliance...

There are also rumors that the other party had run away the big demon Archmond, the polluter of the Burning Legion. Of course, many people don’t believe this nonsense!

After all, in this era when going out basically depends on walking and communication basically depends on yelling, rumors and other things are actually just like that!

For example, the Varian King on their throne, the other party had the titles of "Logosh", the Storm Son, the Supreme King of the Alliance, the Ghostbuster, etc. on their heads... There are also rumors that the other party had fought against a hundred in the arena, killing the enemy with blood, and then returned to Storm City after burying the corpse in the wild. But in fact, these statements are not very reliable. Their King is just a slightly more powerful hero-level warrior?

If someone wants to deal with their King Varian, as long as they take advantage of the other party’s solo and come with a team of high-level warriors or paladins, they can basically teach their King how to be a human being!

Otherwise, he would not have been sent by the Black Dragon Princess Onyxia to plot against him and was captured and disappeared for such a long time!

"well……"

"Anyway, the opponent will be at the city the morning after tomorrow, so I don't need to hide it anymore... Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the fact that the Death Knight Alsace led the Scourge to invade and capture the original Silver Moon City of Quelthalas a few years ago. I believe everyone must have heard of it?"

"Apart from those high elves, no one knows what happened at that time... Anyway, we only know: the undead army in Arthas captured Silver Moon City, and that city was destroyed! Then, the executioner of Arthas fled back to the old Lordaeron City in a mess..."

"In order to confirm this, we also specially sent people from MI7 to inspect the field... That Silver Moon City, the giant city that is not inferior to our Stormwind City, was indeed razed to the ground by a terrifying spell... So, in the rumors of the high elves, the fire queen destroyed the hundreds of thousands of undead troops with one spell, and there should be no fake..."

When Varian thought of this bad thing, he felt even more worried!

Who knows if the Queen of Fire, will the other party come to their Storm City so cruelly? It is precisely because of this that he will order in the past two days: to start organizing citizens to take the subway to Tielu Fort, and let others go to sea to hide... Because what they are worried about is actually that little girl, that's all!

"this……"

"how so?"

"Are all those rumors true?"

"Oh... I'm afraid it's... It's so scary..."

"Then, what should we do? How should we defend this Stormwind City? We don't seem to have strong men of that level, nor can we target that kind of existence..."

"What else can I defend? I can't find a way to suppress the flame queen. No matter how many reinforcements I come, it will be useless..."

"Maybe, her spell must have these limitations? Otherwise, more than a month ago, wouldn't she have blown up our alliance camp directly on the Tyronmere front?"

"This seems to make some sense..."

"Hmph! She didn't explode at that time! But she directly summoned a huge flame demon and a Holy Light Titan! Until now, that Holy Light Titan has forced our Northern Expedition Alliance to hide in Nanhai Town and dare not act rashly, causing the entire Northern Expedition plan to end in such a terrible way!"

"Yes, yes! General Marcus is right!"

"Also, I also heard that the other party released a super-large rain of flames at that time, covering a large area. In addition to killing many of our soldiers, they also directly forced thousands of soldiers from the Northern Expedition Alliance!"

"That Rain of Fire? If... she throws one in Stormwind City then..."

“…”

The nobles and congressmen who were discussing fiercely said this, and then, the king's hall suddenly became unhappy. The people looked at each other tacitly, and although they didn't say anything, the inexplicable eyes conveyed some ideas that they knew well.

“…”

"Well, Mr. Mirren, I know you still have a lot of subway tickets, why don't you... give me two secretly? I want tonight's or before tomorrow night..."

"Do you want a ticket? It's not bad to give you a few... But you should also know that the market is different now..."

"Of course, I understand, I understand..."

"My Excellency Mirren, I want some too..."

“…”
To be continued...
