Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 583: Retry

During the first and second Dark Gate Wars, the reason why the Horde was so powerful and seemed to have endless troops was largely due to the increasingly worse natural environment in Draenor.

The reason why Gul'dan was able to persuading so many orcs to die was very simple: it was all fighting and killing anyway, and instead of letting so many ferocious orc clans fight each other to divide a smaller and smaller piece of cake, it would be better for everyone to go to other planets together to grab a bigger piece of cake.

However, with the defeat of the Horde and the demise of several of the strongest clans in Azeroth, Draenor's scarce resources seemed to be less scarce again.

The Blackrock Clan, which was originally the number one clan in the Horde, was said to have 500,000 soldiers at its peak. Of course, this was an exaggeration, but the number of adult orc warriors was definitely 300,000, and most of these 300,000 were absolutely elite warriors who had experienced the war with the Draenei.

Unfortunately, Duke used many tricks to weaken them, and even the last seed was lost in the sea opposite the Seawatch Cliff in the southeast of Lordaeron. The only one left was the Blackfang Clan, which was split from Blackhand's two sons Rend Blackhand and Maim Blackhand. After hunting down Gul'dan, they left Orgrim's control directly.

It can be said that the absence of the Blackrock Clan alone has created living space for at least three first-class clans in the entire tribe.

Then there is the Warsong Clan, which is second only to the Blackrock Clan. Unlike the original history, the Warsong Clan was thrown into Azeroth early in this war. Now, after suffering heavy losses in Southshore and Silverpine Forest, the entire clan, young and old, is trapped in Tirisfal Glades.

Next is the Frostwolf Clan, which is also among the first-class clans. Their history is not much different from the original. They were directly exiled to the Alterac Mountains before the first battle of the Dark Gate officially began.

Next came the Storm Predators and the Black Scar Clan. These two clans at the bottom of the first-rate clans all fell to their knees.

Finally, there are the Bleeding Hollow Clan, the Shattered Hand Clan, and the Dragonmaw Clan. These three were first-rate clans that suffered heavy losses but still returned to Draenor. Unfortunately, due to a significant decline in population and combat troops, they have become second-tier clans.

If you make a rough calculation, even the first-rate clans have lost nearly 1 million people, not to mention the losses of the second-rate and third-rate clans.

If the orc laborers who were always ignored by the chieftains were also counted, the two Dark Gate Wars caused the loss of more than 2 million people in the Horde.

If anyone had checked carefully, they would have found that more than one-third of the Horde's soldiers had drowned in the sea. The Alliance had to give Duke a thumbs up.

In a tribe, population and warriors are synonymous with territory. Without population and warriors, there will be no territory.

More vacancies than in history have brought about a new round of power reshuffle.

When Orgrim was still alive, no clan that remained in Draenor dared to move, even if they just knew that the Warchief was still alive.

When the news of Orgrim's capture came, all the major clans immediately took action to grab the fat meat around them.

For various reasons, such as the White Claw clan was exterminated because they sympathized with Durotan and his Frostwolf clan.

Thunderblade, Laughing Skull, Red Walker, and Bonechewer, the clans that had originally stayed in Draenor for various reasons and had not yet been sent to Azeroth, instead gained the greatest advantage in this reshuffle.

Before winter, they generally more than doubled their territory.

If the winter had not been so cold, if they had had a little foresight, they might have been able to make Kilrogg Deadeye and Kargath Bladefist, who had returned with their armies, suffer a bitter defeat.

While Draenor was in the midst of a fierce battle, the countries on the Eastern Kingdoms of Azeroth were still on the road to revival.

It is obvious that the revival of the southern continent is faster than that of the northern continent of Lordaeron.

In the north, Terenas had no good solution for the scorched Silverpine Forest or the Warsong orcs that haunted Tirisfal Glades. He could only hope for the harvest of the fields near Stratholme this year. After all, without the forest, the orcs did not dare to come out to face the superior cavalry of Lordaeron.

Barnil, Felstone, and Maris, these famous grain-producing areas, are Lordaeron's last resort.

He now even has some hope that if Deathwing really becomes the king of Alterac, at least Alterac's thousands of acres of fertile land in Hillsbrad can be temporarily given to Lordaeron for use.

Nearby Dalaran and Stromgarde are finally starting to get back on track.

But no one can compare to the prosperity of the South.

Even if Terenas didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it - there was no other genius in the world like Duke, who could create an independent economic system out of thin air and revive the entire kingdom without spending a single gold coin.

"Damn it, if Calia was here, I would marry her to Duke even if it would be embarrassing. The only good thing is... Daelin doesn't seem to have gained anything."

Terenas had thought of imprisoning Calia for life because he had lost face for the Menethil royal family. But when greater benefits emerged, Terenas wished that his dead daughter could crawl out of the grave so that he could sell her again.

This is despicable royal politics.

When everyone's eyes were on Stormwind Kingdom, one day in mid-May, Antonidas suddenly received a request for a meeting from Duke. It was not an emergency request, but a very diplomatic one, submitted by Miss Ilucia Barov, a former Dalaran mage, to the foreign affairs department of the Kirin Tor Council.

Even though Antonidas was obsessed with magical experiments, he still met Duke the next day. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"Why, dear Duke, I thought you had dwarven blood in your veins. Railroads? Trains? Looks like you're better at dwarven things than you are at being a wizard. Well, what brings you here?"

With a little dissatisfaction and a little teasing, Antonidas had complicated emotions towards Duke's hug.

"I'm glad to see you so healthy, Master Antonidas." Duke said politely, and then got straight to the point: "Actually, I came here because I received an unconfirmed message. But the news is so important that I had to come here in person."

"What kind of news?" Antonidas pondered.

He knew Duke well. Although the young man's plans often seemed far-fetched, they never failed.

From the war with the Horde to taking the four dragon kings to Lordaeron to participate in the triumphal ceremony, Duke's actions are often purposeful. If you ignore his actions, then you will be tricked like Terenas. Don't blame him for not notifying you in advance.

"Ner'zhul, the master of Warlock Gul'dan, has set his sights on the Eye of Dalaran!"
