Before this day came, the noble boys and girls in Stormwind Fortress had no clear understanding. Originally, their parents had arranged for them to evacuate in advance. But for one reason, no noble dared to take the risk and evacuate their children in advance - the queen did not leave, and as the only legitimate heir to the kingdom, Prince Varian Wrynn did not leave.
The so-called upper-level behavior leads to lower-level behavior.
Even the queen and the prince stayed in Stormwind Fortress, so who would dare to send their children away first? As a result, almost all the nobles sent their female relatives and underage children to Stormwind Fortress. To put it nicely, they lived and died with the country, but to put it bluntly, they were hostages.
Of course, it is another matter if the adult children are entrusted with an important task and sent to Southshore on the other side of the sea to set up an evacuation point.
No one had ever thought that the Storm Fortress, which was supposed to be a safe rear area with solid defenses, would be attacked!
When the shrill alarm bells rang, most people panicked.
"Your Majesty, you should take His Royal Highness the Prince and evacuate first. At least... at least you should hide." The captain of the Royal Guard once said.
"Retreat? Where to? Hold on. Either hold on until His Majesty returns, or be killed by the orcs before then. I am the queen of Stormwind Kingdom. I will never hide in a secret room and then be pulled out and killed by the dirty orcs like a rat from a gutter."
What the queen said was also true. There was nowhere to escape. Stormwind Keep was located in the northeast of Stormwind City, at the innermost part of the entire valley. In the original design, this was the last and last. If they couldn't defend this place, then they would perish.
Although Stormwind Fortress is strategically located, no matter how strong a fortress is, it must have enough soldiers stationed there. Now the defense is empty and the manpower is insufficient, the entire Stormwind Fortress is just a facade.
Now, all the noble women and noble heirs were watching her. If she, as the queen, took the lead in hiding in the secret room, then even if Llane came back in the future, people's hearts would be scattered and the king's authority would be gone. Instead of that, it would be better to stay in the throne room stubbornly.
If they are really invaded, then Stormwind will be doomed!
The queen dressed neatly with the help of the trembling hand maid, and took Varian, who was also elegant, to sit on the throne with the queen and the prince in the hall. Around her and the little prince were hundreds of noble women and children who looked pale.
Everybody was listening attentively.
Outside the fortress, there were extremely clear sounds of orcs roaring and weapons clashing. It was as if the pointer of death was spinning faster and faster, and the sounds representing death and destruction were getting closer, louder, and clearer.
Then, when hundreds of heavy footsteps, completely different from the sound of military boots, were heard, and when the sound of brutal feet rising and falling as if from ancient wilderness was heard, this heart-wrenching fear - had already penetrated the eardrums of all women and children and reached the deepest part of their hearts.
"Wow..." Soft sobbing began to spread in the throne hall.
"Enough! If destruction and death are our fate! Then we should accept it calmly. If we are not destined to die, then we cannot let today's gaffe become our lifelong shame!" The queen stood up proudly, holding the queen's scepter in her left hand, and holding Prince Varian's left hand tightly with her right hand.
The young prince held a gorgeous dagger in his right hand.
Everyone listened nervously to the voices outside and watched the guards arrayed in front of the main door of the throne room. There, the king's most trusted Sir Windsor led the last 12 royal guards. And Sir Windsor was holding the King's Guard that had become famous a few days ago!
The floor of the throne room was shaking, as if a cup of water was being carried by a waiter. Everyone's heart was trembling slightly like the floor.
The sounds of fierce fighting and rough roars were getting closer and closer.
Until a fierce scarlet giant hammer smashed open the fist-thick iron-clad wooden door of the throne room. It was a giant hammer covered with blood, internal organs and body fragments. The giant hammer was shaped like a standard cube, and scarlet blood beads rose and fell from the square surface of the hammer, making Varian feel that it was more like a bloody throne held high.
As the door of the hall collapsed with a terrible wail, a ferocious giant who seemed to come from ancient times appeared at the door of the hall. He had dark red skin, bulging muscles, and four fangs on his protruding jaw. The outermost fangs were long, while the inner ones were slightly shorter.
This horrifying appearance alone made many ladies scream horribly and then faint from fright.
"Kill!" Windsor gave an order and all the guards rushed forward.
Orgrim grinned, a disdainful smile, and raised his right shoulder pauldron decorated with thick fangs slightly, and a black gust of wind had already been stirred up at his elbow.
The guard who first came into contact with Orgrim had just had this thought in his mind when he stared in amazement at the hammer that was getting bigger and bigger, occupying his entire field of vision in less than half a breath.
His movements were correct, extremely standard and concise, he almost reached the limit of a human being. However, in front of such an inhuman strongman, he was completely frightened and could only open his mouth helplessly, watching the opponent's giant hammer reach his face before his sword pierced.
"Bang!" It seemed as if time, which had once stopped, suddenly resumed flowing.
The huge Doomhammer struck the guard's forehead like a whack-a-mole game. With a "puff", the overwhelming force passed through the helmet from top to bottom and penetrated the guard's skull. Then the terrifying impact completely shattered his cervical vertebrae, causing his cervical vertebrae to completely fold into one piece.
The remaining force has not dissipated and is passed straight down.
The next moment, the guard's facial features were distorted, and all the ribs in the chest cavity under the head were piled up into a ball. The brain, eyeballs and other things that had nowhere to drain were spurted out from every hole in the head with a "whoosh" sound at the moment the skull was shattered.
The giant hammer continued to sink, smashing the guard's head into his chest and almost flattening half of his body.
The soldier who had turned from a 1.90-meter-tall man into a dwarf twitched and then collapsed to the ground. The extremely violent blood splashed on the marble floor of the throne room, and a few spots of bright red even sprayed on a 13-year-old girl not far away, who was suffocated by fear.
