In the Battle of Tirisfal Glades, Tirion Fordring achieved a great victory, successfully capturing King Varian.
Because it affected Tirion Fordring's reputation, there is no historical record of this war.
Unfortunately, Tirion Fordring's 10,000 Argent Crusade suffered heavy losses and were unable to attack Undercity. They could only set up camp in Tirisfal Glades and send representatives to negotiate with Sylvanas.
Upon learning that Sylvanas had lost Thrall and his party, Tirion Fordring felt extremely regretful and could only report the truth to Garrosh.
When the news reached the Allied camp in Northrend, Garrosh was furious and complained to the Emissary:
"Damn Sylvanas, I will breach Undercity and turn her head into a drinking vessel. The lowly Forsaken have no right to be a member of the Horde."
Enraged, Garrosh was about to launch an attack on Undercity when he was stopped by the Emissary calmly said:
"Garrosh, put away your bad temper. Sylvanas still has a great use. You have become the Warchief of the Horde, and Sylvanas is willing to submit to you. Now it's time to get down to business and destroy the Evil Scourge."
Knowing he had to eliminate the threat completely, Garrosh gave up and loudly explained:
"I can't do that. Thrall is still alive. Only by reducing Thrall to ashes can I secure my position as Warchief. And Sylvanas, I have a feeling she'll ruin everything."
"Emissary, please give me some time. I have two hundred thousand Orcs. In just six months, I can turn the Eastern Kingdoms into scorched earth. After I have wiped out Undercity, destroyed the Blood Elves, and ruined Stormwind City and Ironforge, all of Azeroth will belong to the Orcs. At that time, the Scourge will be no threat, Arthas will kneel before me and beg for forgiveness."
From the Orcs' perspective, Garrosh's actions were not wrong. However, the wisdom of Elune, is unfathomable; how could she place all her hopes on Garrosh?
Emissary the Orcs were unruly and difficult to tame, reasoning with them was useless; only force could be used. After a moment's thought, the Emissary suddenly struck, slapping Garrosh far away.
"Garrosh, have you forgotten the lesson you learned in Dalaran?"
The Emissary blows on Garrosh, Hamstring his bones and causing him to cough up blood. Garrosh tried to beg for mercy, but the Emissary quickly knocked out a mouthful of his teeth.
"Garrosh Hellscream, remember this: you are merely a dog kept by Elune. A dog's only duty is to obey commands."
The valiant Orcs guards, seeing Garrosh being tortured, all turned their backs and pretended not to see. Garrosh was beaten beyond Emissary, his flesh and blood mangled.
The Emissary then released Garrosh, speaking in an uncompromising tone:
"Attack Icecrown Citadel immediately, Warchief Garrosh of the Horde! This is a command from the gods. The gods can bestow upon you endless glory, or they can bring you utter destruction."
The next day, Garrosh, fully recovered from his injuries, had no choice but to lead his Scourge.
With the Primordial Emissary at its core, Icecrown Citadel has become a colossal Forge of Souls.
The Orcs have brought in an army of 200,000, which is exactly what Robbie needs, but to ensure that all these Orcs perish at Icecrown Citadel and have their souls branded, they need to be lured deep into their territory.
Kel'Thuzad was confident about this and said to Robbie:
"Orcs are a savage and cruel race. Once you back down, they will take advantage of you until they wipe you out, just like the Draenei back then. Velen's concession only brought the Draenei to the brink of extinction, which is exactly what we can use."
To lure Garrosh into a trap, Kel'Thuzad mobilized a large number of Scourge soldiers and built five lines of defense outside Icecrown Citadel.
Garrosh personally went to the front lines to carefully observe these defensive lines.
Because of the time constraints, the Scourge's fortifications were mainly made of wood, which was then soaked in water and frozen solid. Garrosh had learned this the hard way and knew how to counter it.
The horror of the Scourge left an indelible mark on Garrosh's heart, a wound that would never heal. After hesitating for a long time, Garrosh cautiously sent out the Argent Crusade to probe their defenses.
The two sides fought fiercely for a day and a night, suffering losses on both sides, with the casualty ratio remaining roughly one to one. The Argent Crusade briefly broke through the defenses, but was unfortunately driven back.
Even the untrained, pale-faced, and poorly equipped Argent Crusade could achieve such results, which gave Garrosh confidence.
That night, Garrosh led his elite Orcs in a surprise attack under the cover of darkness.
Garrosh built a large number of Catapults, and boulders rained down from the sky, smashing the Scourge's fortifications and causing extremely heavy losses to the Scourge soldiers.
The Orcs sounded the Charge, and tens of thousands of Orcs, shouting "For the Warchief!" launched their attack.
When the Orcs army broke through the defenses, although the Scourge soldiers fought bravely, the difference in strength was too great; one Orcs could easily take on ten Ghouls.
Faced with the fully armed Orcs, the Ghouls ' minions were utterly powerless and quickly descended into a one-sided slaughter, leaving Ghoul remains scattered throughout the fortifications.
A tall Death Knight charged out; this was the Scourge commander of the first line of defense.
Garrosh ordered ten Orcs to surround and attack, expecting a fierce battle, but before long, the Orcs' sharp Battle Axes cleaved the Death Knight and his horse into pieces.
The Scourge had weakened to such an extent that its subordinates delivered the head of Scourge general, making Garrosh extremely smug.
After the first line of defense was breached, Garrosh counted the number of men and found that he had only lost a few dozen Orcs. For an army of ten thousand, such a loss was negligible.
The Orcs, riding high on their morale, launched another attack. Overnight, Garrosh swept through the Scourge's three lines of defense with overwhelming force, killing over 50,000 Scourge soldiers.
Realizing the overwhelming power of the Orcs army, the Scourge soldiers on the other two lines of defense quickly retreated to Icecrown Citadel.
Upon receiving the news, Garrosh laughed heartily. His fear of the Scourge vanished, replaced only by merciless mockery and contempt. Now, the Scourge was reduced to its last stronghold.
Overnight, they breached three of the Scourge's defensive lines, causing the Scourge to retreat without a fight. The news spread throughout Azeroth, sparking countless discussions.
Under the auspices of the Big Candle Gagg Garrosh, there was extensive media coverage of the new Warchief, with rumors circulating that Garrosh was 1,000 meters tall and could shatter Icecrown Citadel with a single punch.
Some have drawn comparisons to him with the Savior Thrall.
The final conclusion is that Garrosh could crush Thrall with a single finger.
However, some commentators have analyzed that Thrall once stormed Icecrown Citadel, while Garrosh remained outside. Only by defeating the Scourge Icecrown Citadel Garrosh be proven to be greater.
Upon seeing this comment, Garrosh merely sneered. Blinded by victory, Garrosh considered the Scourge to be nothing more than a threat and no longer took them seriously.
Icecrown Citadel remained wide open, like a dark, gaping abyss.
Undeterred, Garrosh personally led ten thousand elite Orcs in an attack on Icecrown Citadel.
In Garrosh's view, this will be the final battle against the Scourge, and he will hold a victory celebration on the Frozen Throne.
