The defeat of the Stormwind coalition began.

This war caused Stormwind to suffer heavy losses, with more than 15,000 people killed, captured, and missing. Coupled with the retreat of the Draenei, the Alliance was seriously lacking in high-level combat power and could no longer stop the attack of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

However, Quel'Thalas and the Kingdom of Lordaeron did not press forward step by step, but approached slowly. At the same time, Garithos began to recruit a large number of captives.

After the last undead disaster, Lordaeron had not rested and recuperated, and had several real wars with Stormwind, and the population was seriously scarce.

Now they need a large population to fill all walks of life in Lordaeron.

Therefore, these captives will soon be sent to farms, mines, and workshops in various places. Garithos told them that as long as they worked for five years, they would be pardoned and they would become free people.

At the same time, Quel'Thalas notified Vanessa and asked Vanessa to prepare to besiege Stormwind with them.

Vanessa, who was developing rapidly in the Western Wasteland, had been looking forward to this day. Therefore, after receiving the news, she immediately began to intensify the training of the army.

At the same time, the defeat of the Stormwind Alliance army also made the entire Stormwind Kingdom precarious. Except for the areas around Stormwind, other places have begun to be unstable.

In particular, Vanessa has been exporting revolutions to the outside world. More and more people know about the Western Wasteland, and many poor people at the bottom have begun to awaken.

Over the years, the nobles of Stormwind have never stopped exploiting the surrounding poor. If it weren't for these nobles controlling powerful military forces, the entire kingdom would have collapsed long ago.

Even so, the situation in various places is still very turbulent.

This time Stormwind was defeated and the army retreated, and the Kingdom of Quel'Danas did not pursue them. Richard asked them to let those troops go back.

At that time, both Lor'themar and Kael'thas were very surprised. They all thought that they should take advantage of the defeat of Stormwind and attack directly now to solve them in one go.

But Richard smiled and said, "Stormwind Kingdom is not at the end of its rope now."

"Once our army approaches, the nobles of Stormwind will definitely unite to survive, and they have allies, whether it is the dwarves or the night elves, they will rescue them."

"At that time, we will have to face the united Stormwind."

"Even if we can capture Stormwind, how many people will we lose? How many resources?"

Although Quel'Danas has prospered and the population has multiplied rapidly after Richard's blood transformation experiment, the population is still in short supply for them.

The High Elf Kingdom must have at least one million High Elves to be stable. This is the conclusion discussed by Kael'thas, Lor'themar, Sylvanas and others.

You know, those human kingdoms have a population of millions, and even more than 10 million in their heyday. Now they don't want the elves to suffer any losses.

"But Godfather, if we let those troops go back, won't this strengthen the power of Stormwind?" Kael'thas said.

"Haha, Kael'thas, you still don't understand humans!" Richard said with a smile: "The internal fighting between humans is even more intense than the war between countries."

"Reginald was defeated this time and suffered heavy losses. He will definitely be liquidated after returning, but is Reginald alone? Behind him are a large number of nobles who depend on him. They will definitely not be willing to be liquidated."

"There will definitely be a fight at that time. If our army advances, then the two sides of Stormwind will see our army approaching, and under the situation of life and death, they will inevitably reconcile temporarily and unite to face the outside world."

"So we can't press step by step, we have to pretend to suffer heavy losses and lack of supplies, so that those people in Stormwind will feel at ease to fight internally!"

"And Stormwind is short of food now. Reginald brought back 30,000 troops at once. Do you think there is enough food in the city?" Richard sneered.

"It's definitely not enough!" Kael'thas' eyes lit up, and then he said, "Even if we borrow food from the dwarves and the night elves, it won't be solved in a short time."

"Now the food is controlled by the nobles of Stormwind, and the army is in the hands of Reginald. There will definitely be a dispute between the two sides!"

Richard nodded slightly. Now Kael'thas is finally no longer a political novice. Looking at the heroic Kael'thas in front of him, Richard actually felt that his son had finally grown up.

"In addition to these, there is another reason. After this failure, the human nobles will definitely exploit the lower-class people vigorously."

"Over the years, you should be very clear about the extent to which the nobles have exploited the lower-class poor. Those poor people have been deprived of almost everything. If they continue to be exploited like this, those people will either die or rise up in rebellion."

"Now Vanessa is doing well in the Western Wasteland. What do you think they will choose?"

Richard sneered: "Those nobles will be afraid that the poor will follow Vanessa in the uprising, and they will definitely oppress them more severely."

"Even if King Va wants to reconcile and give the people a rest, he can't do it. The nobles will never agree."

"By then, the Stormwind Kingdom will be in chaos. We don't need to attack at all. Stormwind will probably fight on its own!"

"When that time comes, we can lead the army to attack. We only need to bring some food and tell the civilians that we will redistribute the land for them and exempt all kinds of taxes. Then the people will welcome us!"

After hearing Richard's words, everyone nodded and finally decided to let go of the remnants of Stormwind and let them retreat safely.

On the other hand, when Reginald led the army to retreat, he was always worried about being chased, so he deliberately left a part of the army to block, but soon he found that neither Lordaeron nor Quel'Danas pursued.

When he was wondering, the deputy general next to him said, "Have they reached their limit and have no extra strength to pursue us?"

When Reginald heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense. You know, the North suffered heavy losses under the ravages of the Undead Scourge and has not recovered in these years. There is a shortage of various resources, and now there must be no strength to pursue.

Thinking of this, Reginald felt regretful again. He should have been tougher at that time. As long as he could hold on for a while longer, the Northern Alliance would definitely not be able to hold on. Then they would be able to win and not become the lost dog now.

If Richard knew what Reginald was thinking at this time, he would probably laugh his teeth off.

But for Reginald, this was a life-saving straw. Even if he knew it was just a guess, he still chose to believe it because he didn't want to accept failure.

Soon, 30,000 remnants of the defeated army returned to Stormwind City, and Stormwind City was packed with people. At the beginning, Stormwind City was very nervous and actively prepared for war. At the same time, it sent messengers to ask the night elves and dwarves for help.

But after discovering that a week had passed and the Northern Alliance had not sent troops to them, the nobles immediately became active.

After finding that the Northern Alliance had no signs of moving south, these nobles immediately showed their top internal fighting ability. The first to attack was the Duke, Duke Lescova.

The Duke directly accused Reginald of underestimating the enemy and a series of major mistakes, which caused unbearable losses to the Storm Kingdom and must be punished.

The king was asked to cancel all Reginald's positions and imprison him pending trial.

Reginald naturally refused to surrender, and the two sides argued fiercely in the meeting hall and almost fought. At the same time, the other Duke Bolvar was also implicated, and both sides were trying to win his support.

King Varian was not a firm and decisive person, otherwise he would not have been influenced by the parliament below.

The entire Stormwind City was caught in internal fighting as Richard expected, and the 30,000 troops brought back by Reginald began to split. This army originally had children of various nobles.

After this disastrous defeat, Reginald's reputation plummeted and he was no longer able to command the army. Those nobles who were unwilling to support Reginald naturally used their influence to disintegrate the army.

Soon, the 30,000-strong army was broken up into pieces. The entire army nominally obeyed the orders of His Majesty the Kingdom, but in fact it had become a loose sand.

After all, the king could not afford all the money and food to supply the army. The problem of food shortage in Stormwind City became more and more serious. Many lower-class people were almost cut off from food supply. Fortunately, His Majesty the King sent the navy to fish every day to supply the people in the city.

King Varian can be said to be a good man, but he is not a good king.

The disputes among the nobles made the entire Stormwind City very chaotic. Both sides fought for power and profit, but soon they found that the most important thing now was food. After all, 30,000 troops needed to eat.

So both sides began to compete for food at the same time. At the same time, in order to cope with the shortage of food, Stormwind City asked the night elves and dwarves for help, but the dwarves were not good at farming, so there was not much food, and they could only produce part of the food, and the night elves had even less.

You should know that the night elves hardly grow food. They have a small population and often eat fruits or hunt.

They can't supply enough food for Stormwind City. They can only supply them with some shriveled bananas.

Some druids among the night elves said that they could help ripen some food to solve the urgent problem.

However, the druids' spells to ripen food consume a lot of energy, and there are few druids, so the food they ripen is just a drop in the bucket.

Stormwind City is now in a food crisis.
