Medivh reined in his crazed smile and quietly gazed at his apprentice, who had been transformed into a lich. An inexplicable struggle began to show on his face. "Khad... gar... I'm sorry."
At those halting words, the green soul fire in Khadgar's hollow eye sockets flickered rapidly. "What is this supposed to mean? You turned me into this thing, neither human nor ghost, and now you apologize? Ha! Ha!" Desolation filled Khadgar's soul.
"Teacher, I'm perfectly fine now. You have nothing to apologize for." His icy words carried no hint of emotion.
Medivh straightened, and the struggle on his face vanished in an instant. "Haha! It seems my dear apprentice's transformation was a great success. Good, good. That's exactly how you should be. In the future, the name of the great lich Khadgar will surely spread throughout Azeroth."
Meanwhile, the hundreds of thousands of orcs who had passed through the Dark Portal had already begun eagerly attacking the outlying towns of the Stormwind Kingdom. Massive catapults mercilessly rained their payloads onto the low city walls. With bodies twice the height of humans, the orcs easily crossed those walls and slaughtered without mercy. Any Stormwind soldier who stood in their way was smashed into a bloody pulp by their heavy hammers and battle-axes.
The sudden outbreak of war, the orcs' savage faces, and the fact that even defending with large shields left soldiers with broken bones or severe internal injuries under the orcs' terrifying strength-all of it filled the Stormwind Kingdom's soldiers with unparalleled fear. Worse still, the orcs came in numbers like a green tide.
"Commander Rich, there are too many enemies. The Holy Light Cleric Squad stationed around the Swamp of Sorrows simply can't withstand this tidal wave of attacks."
