Jiang Jie was taken aback:
Llane is dead?
Are the Orcs besieging the city?
So, Stormwind City is now in its final moments, on the verge of falling and its kingdom destroyed?
Medivh, are you suggesting I organize a mass evacuation from Stormwind City?
No, no, absolutely not.
Jiang Jie remembered it clearly: the only condition for winning in the Chess Hall was to kill the opponent's leader.
Now that Llane is dead, the leader of the human side is actually Lothar, whom I am impersonating, and the leader of the Orcs is probably no longer Blackhand, but Orgrim Doomhammer.
According to the timeline, at this point, Orgrim had already killed his good friends Durotan and his wife because of Blackhand, and Gul'dan was mentally traumatized and fell into a deep sleep because of Medivh's death. Blackhand had lost his most powerful support, so Orgrim challenged Blackhand, killed Blackhand, and became the new Warchief of the Orcs.
Whether in terms of strength or intelligence, Orgrim is superior to Blackhand.
Perhaps the Blackhand was powerful in the past, but Orgrim is even more powerful now, having reached his peak and becoming a true Legendary Warrior.
Most importantly, Orgrim was known for his "cunning and treacherous" nature, and even had a nickname, "the one who stabs in the back," making him a unique Orcs sage.
A Legendary powerhouse, who also has a brain—how are others supposed to survive?
Under Blackhand's rule and with the help of Gul'dan's Shadow Council, the Horde failed to breach Stormwind City. However, under Orgrim's rule, they conquered Stormwind City in a single all-out attack. This Warchief's intelligence is definitely on par with Lothar's.
Even in the final battle at Blackrock Mountain, Lothar was killed by Orgrim.
Where are the others?
Jiang Jie looked around and noticed that besides the guards, there was also a mage beside him. The mage seemed to be around twenty years old, but his hair was completely white, making him appear incredibly old. This immediately reminded Jiang Jie of someone:
Archmage Khadgar.
However, Jiang Jie quickly noticed that Khadgar was probably not the same Khadgar as before.
He was moving his body around, as if getting used to it, and from the way he held the staff, Jiang Jie quickly deduced:
He is Meryl!
So, what about the others?
Jiang Jie then saw a graceful and elegant noblewoman standing behind him on his left, looking at him with a peculiar gaze.
"Brother," Anveena's voice rang out, charming and melodious.
"Madam, you are the Marshal's wife, how can you call the Marshal 'brother'?" Reginald looked puzzled, thinking to himself, "So this is how the aristocratic world is? Wives calling their husbands 'brother'? Sir, you really know how to play games."
wife?
What the heck is going on?
During World War I, I never heard of Lothar having a wife. It seems he was already all alone; even his only son had died, so his wife must have died long ago.
Medivh, what kind of plot did you come up with?
Anveena's face seemed a little red, and she looked to be in her forties, about the same age as me.
Yes, in his forties, Jiang Jie's body was already in his forties, not at its peak. The real Lothar was indeed in his forties at this time, about the same age as King Llane and Medivh.
Based on his age, Medivh was probably born around 45 years before the Dark Portal, while the Orcs siege took place 4 years Dark Portal. Medivh was almost 49 years old when he died.
Even if Medivh is the oldest and Lothar is the youngest, they'd probably be around 45 years old, right? If there's such a big age difference, how can they play together?
What made Jiang Jie even more devastated was that there was a young male mage next to Anveena, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.
The young mage was looking around, his eyes shining, and muttering to himself, "So this is the human world! So this is how lively the human world is! So this is Stormwind City!"
Without a doubt, this little mage is Med'an.
But what exactly is his role now? The apprentice of the Archmage of the Palace?
Okay, everyone is here except for the Maiden of Virtue and Garona.
The Maiden of Virtue is Stone Giants; it's unknown whether Medivh brought her here.
As for Garona, where is she now?
Jiang Jie looked at Meryl, Meryl fingers were making continuous tracing patterns, clearly using magic to search for Garona, but he quickly shook his head.
Jiang Jie was somewhat disappointed.
Has Garona really disappeared?
Didn't Medivh bring her here?
Or is it...?
She's playing herself right now!
By this time, Garona was probably already heading to Gul'dan with King Llane's heart.
I wonder if Orgrim has captured him and interrogated him about the secrets of the Shadow Council.
The question now is, how can we defeat Orgrim and achieve victory?
Jiang Jie looked down at the city walls.
Stormwind City is completely besieged by Orcs. There are countless Orcs, hundreds of thousands of Orcs, which Stormwind City simply cannot stop. It is impossible.
Let alone Jiang Jie, even if we threw the entire Order of the Silver Hand, all ten thousand strong, into the fray, it would be futile. The Orcs ' fighting power is terrifying; Stormwind City is doomed to fall.
He led his soldiers to defend Stormwind City to the death, while simultaneously ordering a massive evacuation by requisitioning ships. Then, following the course of history, he went to Lordaeron to form the Alliance, ultimately facing off in a fateful showdown at Blackrock Mountain?
No, no, no, that ending wasn't good; in the end, Lothar died.
Who knows if dying here will actually mean death!
Moreover, various unforeseen events are bound to occur along the way.
Furthermore, Jiang Jie suspected that although Medivh was powerful, it was still unknown whether the magic in the Chess Hall could support them in leaving Stormwind City and heading to Lordaeron.
No matter how powerful Medivh, he can't create a completely new world, a completely new Eastern Kingdoms.
" Xiao Feng, is this the real world or a fake world?" Jiang Jie asked.
This is important; it relates to the next action plan.
"The real is the illusion, the illusion is the reality." Xiao Feng's voice echoed in my mind, "Host, if you die here, you really die!"
Jiang Jie took a deep breath.
He knew his own capabilities.
Organize the Stormwind City evacuation?
He is not Lothar; he simply doesn't have that ability.
Lead Stormwind City to defend against the Orcs invasion?
He's not Medivh; he doesn't have that ability.
What can he do now?
He had no choice but to abandon Stormwind City, find a way to kill Orgrim, complete the quest, and leave.
Perhaps this is even the only way to save Stormwind City.
Because once Orgrim dies, the Orcs army will lose its Warchief and supreme commander, and it is very likely to fall into chaos. At that time, Stormwind City may be able to hold on.
Maybe.
This is not the real world, but a "real-illusion world" created by Medivh. Jiang Jie has no burden no matter what he does; he only needs to complete his task.
He is not a savior; he can only save himself.
