Finally, Lancer and Lothar did not follow the main force but returned to Stormwind City on Gryphons. Before this, a moving scene of 'master and servant reunion' naturally played out again. Lothar's Gryphon rubbed against him for a long time before gradually returning to normal, but what Lancer found strange was that it actually 'greeted' Lancer with a cry, and Lancer was naturally happy to pet its head in response.
However, after the moving reunion, it was a non-stop journey. The group rode on the backs of Gryphons, and perhaps because of the previous experience, Lancer rode a Gryphon alone this time, and Lothar also piloted one solo, but Khadgar was tied to the back of a Stormwind City guard with a rope.
Khadgar was naturally extremely opposed to this. According to his statement, 'I am a glorious mage, how can I do such a shameful thing?'
Facing Khadgar's stern refusal, Lothar and the others naturally said 'yes, yes, yes' in their mouths, and at the same time had someone tie him up with a rope.
Normally, this would naturally not be done, but everyone had seen Khadgar's condition before. Who knew if he would shake off the Gryphon's back while sitting on it? If that really happened, it would be embarrassing. To finally evacuate from the Dark Portal only to fall to his death halfway.
And the weak Khadgar naturally couldn't resist a group of muscular men. In the end, he had to accept the restraint with a face full of sadness. Undoubtedly, this experience of riding a Gryphon became a dark history of his life.

When Gul'dan finally woke up, what he saw was a chaotic camp.
His first reaction was —————— what happened while I was unconscious?
Just as he was looking confused, he saw a group of people walking towards him.
'Blackhand? Orgrim? What are they coming to see me for?'
"Pa~!"
Before the two sides could formally meet, Orgrim, standing next to Blackhand, waved his hand and threw an Orc in a long robe at Gul'dan's feet.
Gul'dan, who didn't know what had happened at all, was instantly furious when he saw the corpse at his feet.
'I was only unconscious for a little while, and you killed my subordinate?!'
"Orgrim! What do you want to do?!"
Although Orgrim was Blackhand's deputy, and Gul'dan had to at least ostensibly give Blackhand face, he was utterly unafraid of Orgrim. After all, most of the Blackrock Clan were battle maniacs, and after being turned into green skins by the demon blood, they also became violent, irritable, and easily incited. The rational Orgrim was clearly not as popular as the 'newcomer' Gul'dan.
But this time, before Orgrim could speak, Blackhand, who was standing next to him, walked up to him with a face full of anger.
"Gul'dan! Now it should be me asking you —————— what do you want to do?"
What do I want to do? I want powerful strength.
Of course, Gul'dan couldn't answer the other party like that, so his face looked confused as if he didn't know what had happened, and seeing Gul'dan's reaction, the displeasure on Blackhand's face intensified even more.
"Still want to pretend?! When I was engaging in 'Mak'gora' with that human warrior, didn't you let your subordinate use 'magic' to sneak attack the opponent?"
Mak'gora? Human warrior? MDZZ (Madan Zhizhang - 'damn idiot'), what kind of stupid thing did this guy do while I was unconscious? Does he have nothing but muscles in his head?
But what confused him even more was how he could give orders when he was unconscious?
But it was obvious that neither Blackhand, whom Gul'dan called full of muscles in his mind, nor Orgrim, who had disliked him for a long time on the other side, would believe what he said.
It could be said that these few days were simply the unluckiest days for Gul'dan.
First, his ally suddenly 'woke up' and surrendered, and when he tried to get something from the other party's consciousness, he was dragged directly underwater by the other party and remained unconscious for several days. After waking up, a direct blame was pinned on his face.
However, Gul'dan clearly didn't know that his 'legend' had just begun, for example, the warlock artifact being held in the hands of a demon hunter (lol).
But no matter how confused Gul'dan was, since Blackhand determined it was done by him, it was impossible for him to change his mind. However, the good news was that he didn't personally take action, otherwise, there would probably be no chance for reconciliation between the two, but even so, a bottomless rift still appeared between Blackhand and Gul'dan...
And Gul'dan's plan, which he had strongly suggested to 'continue waiting for troops,' was naturally directly rejected by Blackhand.
At this time, he only desired to completely crush the 'weak' kingdom blocking their path, and then continue to conquer this land. Of course, before that, he still had to do one thing, which was to fulfill his oath and personally defeat that human man!

Lancer and the others' speed in returning to Stormwind City was certainly not slow, but the Orcs' speed was even faster. Almost at the same time Lothar suggested to Llane to evacuate the commoners and let them temporarily reside in Stormwind City, the main force of the Orcs had already rushed out of the Black Morass.
And subsequently, the Orc army's momentum could be said to have swept through and defeated several towns.
"According to the messages sent by the scouts, if the Orc army is not stopped soon, they will arrive at the gates of Stormwind City in 3 days at the latest."
When a general of the Kingdom of Stormwind said these words, everyone present looked at Lothar, who was sitting in the vice-hand position of the meeting, after all, he was the overall commander for dealing with the Orcs this time, but unlike most situations, the people present did not blame him, because they were very clear about the kind of existence they were facing as enemies.
Lothar personally 'punished' the fallen Archmage Medivh, and this matter could be said to have shocked everyone for a long time, but even such a Lothar still retreated in a state of disarray from the Orcs' main camp, and on the other side, the High Elves and Dwarves who went to provide assistance also confirmed Lothar's words, and besides that, they even personally went to check the battle situation, and the final answer they received was even more terrifying.
No one was confident in their ability to stop those mad beasts, except for one person —————— Lothar.
The defensive line he set up still managed to stop the group of mad Orcs for no short period even in his absence, and the subsequent several interception battles were also organized by him, but at this time, Lothar looked at everyone present with a serious expression and then looked at Llane nearby.
Neither of them spoke, but they had already communicated with their eyes.
"Gentlemen, please step outside first."
Everyone knew that Lothar intended to have a private talk with their King. Everyone said nothing more and left the hall in sequence, and when only the two of them were left in the room, Llane looked at Lothar with a solemn expression.
"Are there no other options left, Lothar?"
