" Reginald, do you remember how we raided Karazhan and took down Medivh?" Jiang Jie looked at the guard beside him.
Reginald, still a young man at the time, nodded seriously and said, "I know, we were lucky."
Good luck?
Looking at this incredibly honest boy, Jiang Jie thought to himself, "No wonder you can't outmaneuver Bolvar and the Black Dragon Princess. With your straightforward nature, it's quite an anomaly that you've lived for twenty years. Is it Lothar's spirit in heaven protecting you?"
"We must launch a second raid."
Jiang Jie patiently explained, "This is the only way! As long as we can kill Orgrim, the Orcs will fall into chaos due to the struggle for leadership, giving Stormwind City a chance to recover and potentially save the Stormwind City! Even if we can't save Stormwind City, we can buy our people enough time to evacuate, and more people will survive!"
Reginald's eyes lit up, and he turned to leave. "Marshal, the warriors of Stormwind City are fearless! I'll go prepare right away! The Brotherhood of the Iron Horse and the Stormwind Brotherhood of the Horse are ready to go at any time!"
"Stop!"
Jiang Jie reached out to stop him, then said solemnly, "I can't bring you this time."
Reginald was stunned, then his eyes reddened, like an abandoned child. "Marshal, do you think I'm a burden? No, Reginald is absolutely not a burden! I'm willing to sacrifice myself for my country! I'll take a few Orcs down with me even if I die! I will never dishonor the glory of Stormwind City!"
"... It's good to have courage and passion, but you have more important things to do."
Jiang Jie was speechless at the young marshal, thinking to himself that this kid was truly a pure soldier, the kind who would risk his life for his country.
However, he still shook his head and said, "Go find Varian and protect him! From this moment on, you are the King's Defender! Remember, you can die, but Varian cannot die! He is the last heir to this country and this city; he must live! As long as he lives, Stormwind City will never fall!"
Jiang Jie still had one worry.
Although he felt that after King Llane's death, Lothar, as the regent of the Kingdom of Azeroth and the kingdom's supreme commander, should be the true supreme leader of Stormwind City, in reality, Varian, as the sole heir of House Wrynn, also held a very high position.
In theory, Varian's status is even higher than Lothar's.
Who knows how Medivh set the rules? He didn't explain the rules clearly beforehand. Who plays chess without understanding them?
Who knows if humanity would lose if Varian were killed? He can't afford to lose.
But he couldn't personally protect Varian, because if he did, who would kill Orgrim?
Of course, it's impossible to take Varian with you to kill Orgrim. After all, Varian is probably only fourteen or fifteen years old now, and taking him along would just be a burden.
"Marshal!"
Upon hearing Jiang Jie's words, Reginald's eyes reddened, and even his neck turned red. Feeling immensely honored and glorious, he immediately shouted, " Reginald will not fail in his mission! I will protect..."
"Shut up!"
Jiang Jie's face darkened. "You want everyone to know my plan? Do you really think Orcs are brainless? They might have spies in Stormwind City!"
This is not just idle talk.
Orc Warlock are no simpletons; controlling humans with magic isn't that difficult for them.
Reginald's enthusiasm was instantly dampened by half, and he murmured softly, "Understood, Marshal..."
"Alright, go ahead. Call Marcus Gavinrad too. I don't have many people I can trust."
Jiang Jie turned his head and said, " Khadgar, let's go!"
Meryl nodded, then began casting the spell.
Soon, they were teleported to the mountains outside the city.
The Orcs siege wasn't just about surrounding the gates; in fact, there were also many Orcs on the mountains on both sides, ready to break through the walls at any moment.
It's time for the Orcs' all-out offensive; fierce fighting is happening everywhere.
Every moment, Orcs and humans die. Orcs are everywhere, densely packed, countless in number.
As soon as Jiang Jie and his group appeared, they were spotted by the patrolling Orcs. Then they heard the Orcs chattering and yelling, and were greeted by Med'an's barrage of fireballs.
Medivh is truly amazing. The Arcane energy that Med'an's current body can hold is only at the high-level mage level. In other words, Med'an is actually just an ordinary high-level mage right now, really... very weak.
It wasn't just him.
Meryl's current body is the same body that Khadgar just had his life force drained by evil magic. Not only is he incredibly old, equivalent to sixty or seventy years old, but the Arcane energy within him that protects him from the cold is also at the level of an ordinary Archmage, far inferior to Meryl's.
Fortunately, Meryl's spellcasting ability is still intact. If we consider all the details, it's probably equivalent to that of a top-tier Archmage, such as Archmage Modera or Archmage Ansirem.
On the contrary, Anveena, although she now possesses the body of a beautiful woman in her forties and did not bring the high-level Arcane energy she originally possessed, still has the energy intensity of an ordinary Legendary mage due to her Blood of Titans. She can mobilize the omnipresent Arcane energy in the world at any time, making her the most powerful among them.
In fact, Jiang Jie and his group now are far inferior to the real them; they are far too weak!
But what they had to face was the mighty Orgrim.
I really don't know what Medivh was thinking. Was he on the Orcs' side?
The only fortunate thing is that Gul'dan is now in a deep sleep due to the mental backlash from Medivh's death, and Orgrim distrusts the Shadow Council and even wants to eliminate its Shadow Council. The only Warlock the Orcs can currently use are a small number of Shaman, which gives Jiang Jie and his group a glimmer of hope.
"Alright, Med'an, we can't linger. Let's get out of here quickly," Jiang Jie said. "There are endless Orcs! Hundreds of thousands of Orcs, even if they just stood still and let you kill them, you'd be exhausted! Master Meryl, we need to become invisible."
Jiang Jie is now a pure Warrior with no Chi in his body, so he can't simulate a thief's Stealth and can only rely on Meryl.
This feeling is very uncomfortable.
Lothar is already over forty years old, and his physical condition is no longer at its peak; he is nowhere near as good as Jiang Jie was back then.
Jiang Jie doesn't possess the skills of a Legendary Warrior like Lothar, nor does he even have skills at the level of a high-level professional. His only reliance now is the divine sword Strom'kar and the Shadow Phoenix " Pyralis " sealed within Strom'kar.
His current overall strength is less than 30% of what it used to be, so he has no confidence in winning and can only do his best.
This battle will be very difficult.
Meryl's Invisibility is indeed impressive, but his ability to interrogate the soul is even more terrifying.
Meryl is Undead. He has a deep understanding of souls. After killing Orcs, he would imprison and torture their souls to obtain the information he wanted through interrogation.
If the nobles of Stormwind City saw this spell, they would surely condemn Meryl as an evil mage who must be killed. But in reality, spells themselves are neither good nor evil; only the user is.
By interrogating their souls, they easily located the Orcs stronghold.
