The demon invasion and War Horde's raid turned Shattrath City into a real meat grinder. Anti-Demon Crusade was not afraid of the demons and their servants at all. The intensity of the battle between the two sides around the city had already surpassed any war recorded in the short history of civilization in this world.

What's even more frightening is that both sides are still increasing their stakes!

Thanks to the overly successful "military reforms" carried out by the Conqueror Kil'jaeden more than 20,000 years ago, and the conquest history of the Burning Legion for more than 20,000 years, the demons have already formed a complete set of war patterns. Once the first wave of their offensive into a certain world is formed, subsequent troops will land continuously.

Shattrath City is just the front line of the demon invasion, but in Tanaan Jungle, the base camp of War Horde, there are still a large number of demon troops constantly summoned by the Warlocks. Once they advance to join the battlefield, their numbers will definitely overwhelm Shattrath City in a short time.

K'ure Alliance is not lagging behind either.

After Healing God Ring was possessed by the Frostwolf Clan legend Shaman Drek'Thar, the Magic Plague that infected the Warriors had been disintegrated, so in With Shaman and Ogre Shaman transmitting at full speed, the weak Warrior who were placed elsewhere were also sent to Holy Light Dome. They quickly received Healing God Ring's dispersal and healing and then armed resistance on the spot.

Arakkoa's follow-up troops arrived and Old Anzu used all his strength to summon birds from all over the world to join the battle, even allowing these "flying soldiers" to outnumber Burning Legion's magic bats and flying demons.

The arrival of support from Karabor Temple, coupled with the army of plants awakened by Spriggans to serve as cannon fodder, miraculously kept the war evenly matched.

Although there are few Draenei, this group of "big money" has stocked enough weapons and protective equipment in the city, and is even so wealthy that the tigers who join temporarily can have two Crystalcasting swords.

Eredar's father is my father, nothing else. The family has a mountain of gold and silver that can never be spent. As long as it can repel the devil, I can make whatever I want! Don't feel bad.

All races Warrior participating in the war are fighting with all their strength. They know very well that once they fail, these vicious extraterrestrial demons will not give them any chance of survival.

There is no way to reason with the devil.

They don't even bother to take prisoners, they just want to destroy the world!

The real turning point in Shattrath City's offensive and defensive battle occurred when Doom Lord Kazzak was killed by Vigilant. Kazzak's self-destruction before his death almost destroyed it. The terrain of Talador looked mighty, but the killing of the forward general in the invasion sequence of the Burning Legion meant "landing failed", so the demons quickly entered the breakout and evacuation mode.

Burning Legion, the pioneer of the invasion of Draenor, consists of Doom Lord Kazzak, Abyssal General Magtheridon and Eredar Lord Queen Keli'tris is led by three demigods Greater Demon. Now that Doom Lord is dead, according to the Burning Legion's war specifications, the demons need to obey the remaining leaders and continue fighting.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the demons are not fleeing, they are just acting according to the <Burning Legion War Guidelines> formulated by the Conqueror.

But the bad news is that shortly after Kazzak was killed by Diakum, the second-in-command of the Burning Legion, Abyssal General Magtheridon, also ushered in his own end.

Even though the weak "Light Butcher" was knocked unconscious by the mighty Doom Lord with a fierce "Burning Explosion" and left in disgrace, there are four divine ring holders on Shattrath City's side, and their combined power has already exceeded that of a demigod Greater Demon.

Not all Abyssal Lord are called Mannoroth.

Ten minutes after Kazzak died, Magtheridon died from Wizard Head's violent demigod-level Arcane's bombardment. It failed to break Holy Light Dome's defense until its death. Holy Word: Barrier, supported by the old Velen for the second time, persisted until the last second.

Under the protection of Great Prophet, there were no casualties among the tens of thousands of civilians of all ethnic groups in Holy Light Dome.

This is simply the second miracle that Holy Light performed in today's battle.

The demons lost their two leaders, and they could only retreat to Tanaan Jungle, where the last vanguard commander Queen Keli'tris was, which would also be Burning Legion's first stronghold in the world of Draenor.

Although the invasion battle that lasted for several hours ended in failure, if you think about it on the bright side, even if Kazzak was wiped out by the dangerous "Light Butcher", at least Pit Lord got a chance to return to Twisting Nether for resurrection.

For the demons, death is just a part of Legion Path. Magtheridon will return to the Material Star Sea sooner or later. It has eternal time to avenge today's humiliation.

As for the demon who died in Shattrath City?

No!

This is not within the scope of Commander Burning Legion's consideration.

Judging from the speed at which demons are being born from Twisting Nether, the demons that died tonight are probably smaller than the evil ones that were born during this period Mordor.

After the Conqueror reorganized the war system, Burning Legion is no longer a trash can for just any cat or dog. Now Burning Legion, especially Burning Legion directly under the Conqueror, only wants elite demons when Twisting Nether recruits troops.

Those weak demons are only worthy of being cannon fodder and have no organization at all, and they are not worthy of becoming Hands of Destruction of Dark Titan.

Well, as an extra mention, most of the demon servants summoned by Warlock are "off-cut demons" that Burning Legion despises. Only the bold Warlock masters with high skills have the courage to directly enslave the elite demons organized by the Burning Legion, and the probability of them overturning in doing such a thing is almost the same as being killed by catching bullets with their bare hands.

Now you know why Warlock's demon servants are so useless, right?

Unfortunately, today is not the devil's lucky day.

Just when they left the Shattrath City battlefield and retreated to Tanaan Jungle in an orderly manner, this group of unlucky ghosts bumped into Evergreen Father who was leading the Spriggans army to support Talador, and then another war broke out.

At the same time, in a Horde camp of Tanaan Jungle.

Orgrim Doomhammer listened to the roar of war coming from the night. He expressionlessly removed the shackles on his hands that had been chopped off, and then took the Doomhammer that he had taken away while being imprisoned from the hands of a Wolf Spirit Priest next to him.

Several hard workers with Spirit Wolf Tattoo engraved on their bodies came forward and respectfully presented High Overseer with black plate armor that had been washed clean and blessed by the wolf spirit.

High Overseer put on the armor without saying a word and looked at the entire camp.

The Felblood Orcs who were ordered to guard the camp here by Great Chieftain were all brutally killed. It was like an orderly raid that ended the battle in a short time. Several Wolf Spirit Priest were walking back and forth among the corpses holding incense burners that could be used as meteor hammers, comforting the souls of the deceased and guiding their souls to Black Wolf God's Hunting Pack.

Outside the camp, the shadowy Ghost Wolf Pack was resting in the shadows, staring at the camp with pairs of green wolf eyes, making people shudder.

"Where is Eitrigg?"

Orgrim looked at Wolf Spirit High Priest Olu'nok Riftheart, who had been detained for several days, and said:

"You should have saved him too?"

"Eitrigg Warlord has gone to the fortress to take over the defense there. He is a subject of Black Wolf God just like us."

Wolf Spirit High Priest pointed to the wolf god altar that was shaped in the camp and said:

"The demons' invasion failed. Both of their commanders were killed. The battle of Shattrath City has entered the final stage. But the good news is that Great Chieftain Blackhand also led the vanguard army into the urban war.

With the combat power K'ure Alliance showed tonight, once they are encircled, it will be difficult for Great Chieftain to break out.

The wolf god has chosen a new head beast, Orgrim Doomhammer. With the decree of my god Lycantos, you will become the second Great Chieftain!

Go ahead.

Bow down to our God and ask for blessings and then guide us."

"You want me to watch Blackhand die in Shattrath City? I know Fenris Wolfbrother is also imprisoned there. Do we want to sit back and watch them die?"

Orgrim became angry and scolded:

"I have been detained for a few days and I don't know much about the changes outside, but High Priest, isn't this a rebellion? Great Chieftain is not dead yet, he is the leader of War Horde!

I'm going to save him, and now I still have a chance!

Before the demons completely withdraw from the battlefield, we can take advantage of the chaos of the battle to respond to Great Chieftain."

Wolf Spirit High Priest is silent.

He didn't explain much. After Orgrim made a decision and would never give up, he nodded and said:

"Then, Black Wolf God's herd is with you, Orgrim, lead them there, but Black Wolf God has sent an oracle, and Blackhand's leadership of Horde has proven to be a failure. He cannot make the Wolf God's herd prosper, so you must shoulder your responsibility.

After Blackhand is brought back to this jungle, you can persuade him or complete a Mak'gora game with him. This is your freedom. Horde needs a more powerful commander!

In this current situation, only a more fierce and powerful leader can lead us out of this predicament."

Orgrim is somewhat unable to accept the choice in front of him.

He leaned on Doomhammer and glared at Wolf Spirit Priest, and scolded:

"But Great Chieftain Blackhand is the first Warrior to be blessed by Annihilator. It had an agreement with Great Chieftain. Why did it give up on him? Is this what your god teaches you? Praise betrayal?"

""Annihilator" is the name given to my god by the Burning Legion. It is a symbol of shame. My god has been freed! Now Black Wolf God is the savior of Felblood Orcs and the owner of the cursed soul."

Olu'nok Riftheart spread his hands and said to Orgrim frankly:

"We have become the cursed after drinking the demonic blood. Ancestral Spirit will no longer accept us. Without the guidance and protection of Black Wolf God, our souls after death will return to Twisting Nether under the constraints of Fel. Even Realm of Death will no longer be opened for us.

After we die, we will become real demons!

So, tell me, Orgrim, given this choice, are you going to follow Black Wolf God's Hunting Pack to hunt in the sea of stars? Or are you going to reject this gift and protection and mix with the servants of the Burning Legion as a Fel freak?

After the collective corruption that Gul'dan brought to us, do we really have a choice?

Black Wolf God didn't give up Blackhand!

It kindly gave Great Chieftain Blackhand a chance.

If he dies in battle tonight, he will become Black Wolf God's first soul attendant. The most important thing is, after Blackhand acquiesces to Gul'dan's use of plague to win, do you think that with Black Wolf God's character, he will accept such a person as his "God Chosen"?

Remember!

Orgrim, we have lost all our glory and fallen into the most miserable the Butcher scum! But Black Wolf God still hopes that we can regain those brave qualities.

It is not a good god, but it is definitely not an evil god.

Go ahead, kneel down and offer your faith to it, and then lead the hunting pack of the Wolf God with an open heart.

Do what you want to do and what you should do.

The era of conquest that Blackhand wanted has ended before it even started. Next, we have to live through the "era of exile" that is destined to be sad and desolate. You must be prepared."

"Huh? What preparations?"

Orgrim asked doubtfully, Wolf Spirit High Priest glanced at him and said:

"Do you really think that the demon blood we drank has no side effects? Do you really think that the devil will be so kind as to give us power? Oh, the most difficult moment is yet to come. Whether you can lead us out of the inevitable era of despair is your duty and mission, Great Chieftain.

There won't be any blessing left for you, you have to shoulder the redemption of the entire fallen Horde!"

After saying that, the high priest turned and left. Since the wolf God Chosen chose Great Chieftain and insisted on saving the person who had to be sacrificed, he, the leader of the herd, also had to be ready to fight.

Orgrim came to the wolf spirit altar alone, hesitating whether to kneel down and pray.

"Actually, there is no need to kneel, the wolf spirit doesn't care about those rituals."

A cold voice sounded from the side. Orgrim turned around and saw Kargath appearing in the shadows, leaning against the tree trunk next to him. Shattered Hand Clan's Chieftain's chic long black hair was blowing in the wind.

He polished the ferocious fist blade on his wrist and said to Orgrim:

"Lycantos is a very pragmatic god. It does not require the worship of believers and only expects us to honor its herd."

"So, you, the abuser, are also a believer of Black Wolf God?"

Orgrim said:

"No wonder you wanted to save me at Frostfire Ridge. At that time, I thought this was just a personal grudge between you and Gul'dan, but why? You don't look like a pious person. You said personally that you would not find a master for yourself."

"Lycantos is not my master! I just hunt with it. The wolf pack has no master, only a leader! Black Wolf God also promised me that I will have a chance to fight God Chosen in the war with Goldrinn in the future!"

Kargath bared his teeth and said:

"The Wolf God knows what I desire, it knows what I want! It restrained my boiling anger caused by demon blood and returned my precious sanity to me. Didn't you notice?

Those Felblood Orcs who have Spirit Wolf Tattoo on them are violent but can still think rationally. Black Wolf God has long given us his blessing.

I'm not religious or even a believer, Orgrim.

But compared to the devil who wants to enslave us, of course I will choose to follow Lycantos.

The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!

You know, Shattered Hand Clan will never have a master. However, if you become Great Chieftain, I will obey you. You are much more qualified than Blackhand in all aspects, just because of that untimely loyalty that binds you!

Blackhand was kind to you in the past, then go and save him, exchange one life for another, and then do what you should do!

I rescued you, and you owe me a life. Now I want you to become Great Chieftain, leading us to continue to pursue victory and eternal freedom! You are unwilling to live up to your own character, and you cannot live up to your responsibility to us."

"You guys really hurt me"

Orgrim cursed helplessly.

He knew that the current situation was no longer up to him. Kargath made it clear that he would not obey. Blackhand, Fenris was imprisoned in Shattrath City, Zuluhed is a Warlock who adapts to the changing circumstances. Eitrigg went to the fortress in the jungle to take over Horde's military power. All the powerful clans have already stood on his side.

Orgrim has no choice but to be Great Chieftain.

"You come with me Shattrath City! Let Dragonmaw Clan prepare the flying dragon."

He reached out and patted the wolf spirit altar in front of him as if he had completed his prayer, and said:

"I will save Blackhand, you go and save Fenris! Now that the demon has invaded, K'ure Alliance will not let go of Green Skins who drank the demon blood. If you don't want to be exterminated, then prepare for the worst."

"On this point, I have news that you will definitely be interested in. Gul'dan is building a door that is said to be able to go to another world! This is such a coincidence, right? Too coincidental to be an accident."

"Huh?"

"Great Chieftain! Go quickly! We will block the enemy for you!"

Outside Shattrath City, just in the area where Magtheridon was bombarded to ashes by the Draenor guardians, Great Chieftain Blackhand, who was breaking out, heard the shouts of the guards beside him. He turned around and saw the loyal Warriors behind him, led by the captain, turning towards the K'ure Alliance's pursuers.

Those brave Orcs shouted war cries and used suicidal Charge to buy time for their Great Chieftain.

The battlefield is still chaotic, but the defeat of the demons has become a foregone conclusion. There is not much time left for the Blackhand and Horde vanguards to break out, but it is not that easy for them to escape under the overwhelming siege of the K'ure Alliance Warrior. Just the Arakkoa flying down from the sky to assassinate them is a big trouble.

"Bang"

The harsh sound of gunfire reverberated, causing Blackhand to stumble under his crotch Dire Wolf and throw Great Chieftain out. However, Blackhand rolled to the ground and saw an Mag'har Orcs rushing out in front of him.

The leader is none other than Garrosh·Hellscream.

They had just fought their way out of the demon pile and were about to join the larger army, when they came face to face with Great Chieftain.

"Blackhand!"

Garrosh is very tired.

Even though he was strengthened by the divine ring, he hardly rested at all in the few hours after joining the battlefield. When he saw Blackhand, he rushed over with a battle axe. However, after several fights, he was hit in the chest with a hammer by Blackhand.

"Bah"

Great Chieftain, who was seriously injured, spat out a mouthful of blood and said to Garrosh:

"You arrogant brat is far worse than your father! Get out!"

Great Chieftain kicked Garrosh to the pursuers in the rear. He held the war hammer and roared, calling for the wolves to protect him, and charged forward with bloody courage.

This guy really has two skills, Warriors can't stop him at all.

But General Jayde in the distance saw Blackhand, and War Shaman called for the elemental power to trap him to death. At this moment of despair, several Arakkoa corpses fell from the air, hitting Blackhand right in front of him.

Great Chieftain raised his head and saw a Two-Headed Wyvern whizzing down. Orgrim was riding a flying dragon to kill him and threw out the rope. Great Chieftain immediately caught it and was carried off the ground by the flying dragon.

The shooters opened fire wildly in an attempt to keep these two guys behind, but a large number of Ghost Wolf appeared at this moment and dispersed the pursuers during the attack.

"Orgrim! Don't leave, stay!"

The shouts from the Frostwolf Clan Chieftain on the ground below echoed in Orgrim's ears. He looked back at the ground and stretched out his hand to retain his sworn brother.

The two looked at each other.

Although there was no verbal communication, when Orgrim finally turned around and pulled up the reins, Durotan knew that his brother had chosen another path, just like the previous farewell to Frostfire Ridge.

"Watch out for those Arakkoa! Great Chieftain."

Orgrim grabbed the reins of the flying dragon and flew quickly away from the battlefield. He said to Blackhand:

"There are bows and arrows nearby. You come for air defense. We have to fight out. Don't worry, Kargath has gone to rescue Fenris. Wolf Rider's Chieftain has also returned to Horde."

His response was silence.

In the tacit silence of the two Orcs, they narrowly escaped from Shattrath City, which had become a furnace of war. When the flying dragon finally landed, Orgrim jumped off the saddle, and Blackhand also climbed down.

He was covered in blood, but he still held on to the weapon.

He looked at Orgrim, looked at High Overseer, whom he once trusted the most, and said hoarsely:

"They chose you. This is a mutiny! Has your loyalty been fed to the dogs?"

"This is the will of the Wolf God."

Orgrim took off the battle helmet with an arrow stuck in it and threw it on the ground.

He grabbed his Doomhammer, in the package Gleam of element Thunder, and said:

"I will spare your life to repay your kindness, but Great Chieftain, the fate of my tribe and compatriots has fallen on my shoulders. I can't just watch them rush to hell with you! The next time will be very difficult, and such an exile should not happen to you.

You are Great Chieftain, you are the conquering king of Draenor, how can you be buried in a foreign land?

Sorry!

I betrayed you just to give you my last dignity, just to seize our last chance."

"Oh, look at how stupid I Great Chieftain is. Even my daughter looks down on me, and even Durotan can laugh at me. What a failure."

Orgrim thought Blackhand would be furious.

But to his surprise, Blackhand just cursed a few times at this moment, and then clenched the burning war hammer in his hand. He stared at High Overseer, whom he trusted most, and remembered the glorious war that night when all Blackrock Orc shouted his name and followed him towards Ogres.

In Blackhand's memory, the person who shouted loudest behind him was Orgrim. At that time, he was just a young man who felt guilty.

He believed that the "betrayal" of Orgrim, whose eyes were full of pain at this time, was out of helplessness.

This Blackrock Clan, the most powerful Warlord, must have had no choice but to resort to this trick. Look what his stupidity has done to the most outstanding Orcs.

Blackhand took a step forward and said loudly:

"Blackrock Clan's rules have always been like this. Only the strongest can lead the clan. But after witnessing the battle between the K'ure Alliance and the demon, I realized that the alliance that Draenei Saint worked so hard to build was not prepared for us at all.

Orgrim, the imaginary enemy of Vigilant has always been Burning Legion!

Diakum can defeat us all by himself! He does not regard us as enemies at all, we are not worthy!

Look at their victory, how glorious it was. It's a pity that I launched this wrong war at the wrong time for the wrong reasons. I failed. I caused you to lose your own glory. Losers are not qualified to rule Horde!

Come and fight, Orgrim.

Take away my title and become Great Chieftain who is more qualified than me."
