Under the leadership of the Naaru A'dal and the demon lord Mannoroth, Thrall led the Horde into the Battle of Tempest Keep.

The Blood Elves got what they wanted and took the opportunity to join the Horde.

The Battle of Tempest Keep has officially begun.

Thrall was furious and decided to vent his anger on Tempest Keep, sending out an army of 50,000 Orcs.

To demonstrate their sincerity, the Blood Elves dispatched 30,000 men, led by Countess Liadrin and Archmage Rommath.

Thunder Bluff deployed 20,000 Tauren as an advance force and food reserves.

The Trolls dispatched a thousand Chef, primarily responsible for the meals of the great Savior Thrall, along with approximately five hundred scouts.

In Undercity, Sylvanas dispatched ten Ghouls and one Gargoyle to join the battle.

The Horde's massive army marched into Outland, and Shattrath City was not to be outdone.

The Scryers came out in droves, including about 10,000 Blood Elves and around 30,000 well-trained adventurers.

The Aldor dispatched three thousand Draenei priests and around twenty thousand Aldor adventurers.

Given that the Void Fortress was floating in the air, and that air superiority was essential, the Sha'tar Skyguard dispatched all of its Nether Ray Knights.

Without a doubt, the leader of the allied forces was none other than the great Savior Thrall.

Upon hearing the news, the Goblins of the Netherstorm Area 52 were the first to mobilize, building a forward base called Pliers Town in the eastern part of the Netherstorm, the area closest to Tempest Keep.

The main Orcs army was the first to leave Shattrath City, and through the pre-prepared Portals, they gradually made their way to Pliers Town.

The Prophet Voren'thal stood atop the city wall, gazing at the orderly army, and chuckled:

"Such a powerful army, I truly feel sorry for Prince Kael'thas."

Countess Liadrin raised her eyebrows, clearly indignant, and said, "Kael'thas only has ten thousand men. Silvermoon City and the Scryers working together are more than enough to handle him. Why should the credit be given to Thrall?"

Archmage Rommath smiled and said, "Thrall is the Savior; he deserves it."

Voren'thal said solemnly, "Although the Orcs are the main force of the allied forces, we cannot rely on them. We need to rely on us Blood Elves. This battle concerns the life and death of the Blood Elves. Everyone must be cautious and absolutely cannot be negligent."

Liadrin smiled faintly, "Lor'themar is on her way with M'uru, and we'll launch a full-scale attack as soon as he arrives."

Voren'thal asked in surprise, "M'uru's strength is beyond question, after all, he is a Naaru. But we are already strong enough, why bother with a Naaru?"

Rommath explained, "Tempest Keep abundant energy and food reserves, and its outer shell is incredibly sturdy. Lor'themar's biggest concern is that Kael'thas will remain inside. M'uru can help us open the gates of Tempest Keep, leaving Kael'thas nowhere to hide."

Voren'thal nodded. "The Regent has considered everything very thoroughly. Good. Once M'uru arrives, we can capture Tempest Keep within three days."

Liadrin asked coldly, "Aren't you worried? Our alliance with the Orcs will inevitably lead to conflict."

Voren'thal was prepared. "I have already given orders that we must be tolerant of the Orcs, and not retaliate when attacked or insulted. This war will end soon, and there will be no major chaos."

Away from A'dal's glory, Thrall immediately revealed his true nature.

The Sha'tar transported a large amount of war supplies, including military rations, armor, weapons, siege equipment, and more, through Portal to the warehouse in Pliers Town.

Fifty thousand Orcs crossed the Portal first and immediately took up residence in Pliers Town, where all four gates were tightly closed.

After passing through the Portal, the Blood Elves and the Sha'tar allied forces looked at the impregnable defenses of Pliers Town and were at a loss for what to do.

They had no armor, no weapons, no food, and not even a tent to set up camp.

Thrall was too domineering; he ordered the Orcs to climb the city walls, and anyone who dared to approach was to be killed without mercy.

Upon receiving the news, Voren'thal personally went to Pliers Town to negotiate, but he couldn't even get in the door.

Even more outrageous, Thrall ordered mages to open Portal to Orgrimmar, blatantly transporting war materials from Sha'tar to Orgrimmar.

Voren'thal was so angry he almost fainted, but there was nothing he could do.

The leader of the Aldor, the High Priestess Ishanah, scoffed, "Is this the help you need?"

Voren'thal was always a master strategist, but he never expected this situation. He had no choice but to rush back to Shattrath City and beg A'dal for help.

A'dal, not wanting to interfere, ordered Voren'thal to handle the situation himself.

Voren'thal had no choice but to lead his troops to loot the Lower City, plundering a small amount of food and weapons. Fortunately, there were enough poor people to sustain the army's food supply for a few days.

The Shattrath Alliance and the Blood Elves of Silvermoon City could only set up camp in the wild, with a severe shortage of tents, and many people had to sleep in the open.

Voren'thal encouraged everyone loudly:

"This is the most difficult moment. To eradicate the Evil Kael'thas, everyone must exert their efforts, overcome all difficulties, and strive for final victory."

Later that evening, Lor'themar and M'uru arrived at the camp.

Voren'thal was overjoyed; with insufficient military rations and logistical supplies, this war had to be won quickly.

Under the cover of night, Voren'thal convened a military meeting with his generals, but Thrall excused himself from attending.

Voren'thal laid out the battle plan.

"Tempest Keep is situated in mid-air, with an Abyss below. Kael'thas has nowhere to escape. First, the Sha'tar Skyguard will gain air superiority, then the mage forces will land, establish Portal, and the main force will ascend Tempest Keep. Finally, M'uru will help us open a secret portal and Tempest Keep."

M'uru added, "Besides the main gate, Tempest Keep has thirty-nine other portals. If we can get me up there, we've won."

No one objected; the allied forces were overwhelmingly powerful and could win no matter what.

At Tempest Keep, Kael'thas used the cover of night to scout out enemy positions; the campfires near Pliers Town stretched as far as the eye could see.

"I never thought I'd die here," Kael'thas sighed helplessly.

"Do you think we'll lose?" Robbie asked.

Kael'thas smiled wryly, "The allied forces outnumber us tenfold; I have no hope of victory."

Robbie said, "This war mainly depends on the air force. As long as they can't get onto Tempest Keep, you've already won."

Kael'thas pointed to the countless Nether Rays outside Pliers Town:

"Tempest Keep has fewer than a hundred Dragonhawks, while Shattrath City has more than ten times that number of Nether Rays Dragonhawk. I can summon a Phoenix, but it's no use."

Robbie carefully surveyed the Allied camp. "Voren'thal made a mistake by deploying the Nether Rays outside Pliers Town."

Kael'thas said strangely, "The Nether Rays are the most important aerial units. Placing them in the center of the camp to prevent surprise attacks is correct. I would have done the same."

Robbie pointed out seriously, "The Nether Ray is too close to the Orcs."

Having said that, Robbie took out a silver disc and handed it to Kael'thas:

"Have your Phoenix carry this disc and fly around the Pliers Town once. Research has found that Orcs and Worgen have many similar habits."

Kael'thas was confused, but he trusted Robbie completely.

At night, Kael'thas's Phoenix circled around the Pliers Town, but Voren'thal paid it no heed because it was flying too high.

The next morning, Voren'thal got up early, full of energy, ready for a big battle.

Air Force Captain Dur'in the Skyguard came running with red eyes, crying as he said:

"Prophet, something terrible has happened!"
