"Today, we Tauren will make history for Azeroth."

The Tauren Legion surged out of Mulgore and first attacked the Camp Taurajo, slaughtering all the non- Tauren there and turning their corpses into Tough Jerky rations.

Next, the Tauren Legion marched on the Crossroads, where the Orcs guards who had not been able to escape, as well as the Orcs living in the nearby villages, regardless of age or gender, were all slaughtered and then burned to the ground.

Not satisfied, Cairne Bloodhoof turned his attention to the Tauren army and sent them charging towards Ratchet.

Which race is the richest in Azeroth? The Goblins, of course.

The shrewd Goblins have amassed enormous Wealth, especially in the three coastal Goblin cities of Booty Bay, Gadgetzan, and Ratchet, which control vital maritime trade routes between the two continents.

Generally, Orgrimmar considers Ratchet a reliable trading partner.

The Goblins of Ratchet can help the Orcs procure various urgently needed supplies, such as armor, weapons, and military rations, and then sell the Wealth plundered by the Orcs.

That's why the Goblins of Ratchet are incredibly wealthy.

To defeat the Horde, you must destroy Ratchet, thus cutting off Orgrimmar's supply sources.

Cairne Bloodhoof, as one of the Horde's heroes, clearly understood the importance of Ratchet to Orgrimmar.

The Tauren Legion stormed into Ratchet. The Goblins had long known of the Tauren Legion's threat, but they refused to give up their Wealth, hoping that Orgrimmar could save them. Unfortunately, Orgrimmar's reinforcements never arrived.

Destruction and slaughter descended, and the Ratchet, which had acted as an accomplice to the tyrant, finally paid the price.

After killing off most of the Goblins, the goblin who kept saying that money was more important than Goblin finally couldn't hold on any longer.

In order to survive, the Goblins contributed a large amount of Wealth and opened their secret vault.

Among them were a considerable number of armors and weapons, various siege engines, Catapults, towers, tents, warships, and military rations such as Tough Jerky.

When the Tauren Legion emerged from Ratchet, they left behind only a trail of fire.

The Goblin city that rose to prominence alongside Orgrimmar was reduced to ruins. Cairne Bloodhoof, on the verge of madness, spared no Goblin, turning them into delicious Tough Jerky.

Next, we will face the Orcs Legion.

According to Vol'jin, all they needed to do was defend Orgrimmar. The Orcs weren't good at ranged attacks, but their strong and powerful bodies were enough to defend the walls of Orgrimmar.

With the help of the Darkspear Horde's javelins, Orgrimmar's formidable walls were impregnable.

But the Orcs are a proud race, and they don't take the mere Tauren seriously. In order to ensure that the morale of the Orcs is not dampened, Vol'jin had no choice but to listen to Orcs advice.

Both young generals, Saurfang the Wind Sword Saint and Goldonaz Grin, advocated going out of the city to fight the orcs.

Sagulos Saurfang, eager to usurp his father's position, possessed a stronger physique than Saurfang the Great and was impatient to prove his courage and fearlessness, so he made the boastful suggestion.

"Warchief, the Tauren are merely our food; we need not concern ourselves with them. Give me a thousand wolf riders, and I will take Cairne Bloodhoof's head."

Gordo Nazgrim was not to be outdone. This young Orcs had suffered much ostracism in the past, and now that his day had finally come, he was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity to make a name for himself. He snorted coldly and said:

"Warchief, I only need eight hundred wolf riders to wipe out this herd of stupid bulls."

"I'll pay five hundred."

"I have three hundred."

"I'm an idiot."

"Alright, stop arguing."

Vol'jin looked at the two proud yet young Orcs. The years had tempered him, stripping him of the impulsiveness of his youth. He knew the importance of this battle, and the significance hidden behind it, and said resolutely:

"You have no idea how important this battle is to us, nor do you know how terrifying Cairne is. We cannot afford any losses in this battle. Cairne Bloodhoof is a mad bull; I have a feeling he's up to something. The time has come; we must go all in. It's time for our Horde to show its true strength."

"True strength?"

The two Orcs, who were originally at the very bottom of Orgrimmar, looked at Vol'jin in surprise.

A golden token appeared in Vol'jin's hand.

A golden token imbued with the power of time, its existence known only to a select few within the Horde. It remained in Thrall's possession, and even Warchief Garrosh became Horde, he was not qualified to wield it.

This is the true strength of the Orcs, the capital that Invincible.

When Cairne Bloodhoof led his army to Durotar, he sensed a strange power shrouding Orgrimmar; it was clearly the power of time.

Cairne's team included some mercenaries, not because he required them to fight alongside him, Cairne wanted them to witness the rise of the Tauren and spread Tauren fame.

Upon sensing this power of spacetime, Cairne suddenly recalled some events from his past life.

At that time, the Orcs had just arrived in Kalimdor. Cairne was puzzled by the rapid rise of the Orcs Legion. He couldn't understand why the Orcs, who suffered heavy casualties, were always able to replenish their troops!

The Orcs' fighting style completely violates known military tactics.

They didn't care about logistical supplies, casualties, or even morale. At that time, the Orcs gave Cairne the impression of being a mysterious and invincible race.

"It really is the power of time."

Cairne had suspected it might be related to the Bronze Dragonflight, but he couldn't understand why the Bronze Dragonflight would help the Orcs.

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Cairne ordered the Tauren army to set up camp. He sensed that a fierce battle was about to begin and that the Tauren Legion needed to get plenty of rest.

The next morning, after breakfast, the Tauren Legion set off, their destination: Orgrimmar.

At the forefront were the Kodo riders of the Tauren, fully armored and clad in helmets and armor. They were all the strongest Tauren, and the Kodos they rode were also covered in thick armor, wielding terrifying spears.

Kodo cavalry are considered the most elite unit of the Tauren. Although their speed is a weakness, making them difficult to carry out surprise attacks and outflanking maneuvers, they are different from ordinary cavalry in a different sense.

When the Kodo cavalry form a phalanx, it is like a mobile steel Castle. The strong physique of the Tauren and Kodos allows them to fight continuously.

Cairne Bloodhoof personally led the Kodo Legion and the Tauren Legion slowly across the land of Durotar when he suddenly saw a dark cloud looming ahead.

As the dark clouds gradually dispersed, Cairne saw a vast, green ocean.

"My God, Earth Mother is with us."

Cairne couldn't help but pray to Earth Mother.

This is a great war that will determine the future of the Horde.

Although the Night Elf race had no intention of participating in the war, Tyrande still sent her most reliable Sentinels to scout ahead—her white owl.

Few people know that Tyrande can share vision with owls.

Darnassus let out a bloodcurdling howl when Tyrande saw the overwhelming Orcs army through the owl's eyes.

Tyrande closed her eyes; she began to understand why Elune, held Orcs in such high regard.
