32. The Great Chieftain's Wisdom: What Era Is This? Why Are We Still Fighting Classical Wars?
Redridge Mountains has quieted down.
Thunderlord Clan's Wolf Rider completely occupied this place. Humanity's escape was too hasty. As a result, they only had time to blow up the armaments, but did not have time to destroy the remaining necessary materials. Therefore, when Orgrim Doomhammer When and his trusted Eitrigg Warlord rode the magic dragon to the front line for inspection, they saw a large group of hard workers carrying various supplies from Lakeshire.
This is not an easy job.
Because Zuluhed released the power of Blue Dragon, the entire town was blocked by ice. Peons needed to use chisels to cut through the ice in order to search.
But because Lakeshire is on the border of the kingdom and is responsible for supporting the local garrison, several warehouses here are filled with various military supplies. When Eitrigg saw the list that Wolf Spirit Priest had simply compiled, his frown from worrying about supplies finally relaxed a little.
"These materials, plus the food sent by Goblin, are enough for us to arm a powerful vanguard. At least Thunderlord Clan and Stormreaver Clan can get enough supplies to allow them to continue this Stormwind Kingdom conquest."
Under the renovated city wall of Stonewall Keep, Eitrigg reported to Orgrim:
"The remaining clans can accompany us, but I checked the map and found that the battlefield at Elwynn Forest is only so wide. It would be useless to send more people. The most important thing is that humans have a very strong will to resist. The attack on the Redridge Mountains will cause more casualties than predicted.
If we follow this intensity, the closer we get to Stormwind, the more intense the resistance we will encounter.
Chieftain Azuka personally investigated Brightwood, and she brought back bad news.
The terrain of that place is not suitable for the passage of large armies, and the human marshal Lothar also plans to build it into a strong wall, so Brightwood can be used as a flank attack, and the main battlefield must be on Elwynn Forest's side."
"Well, I trust your judgment."
Orgrim has just recovered from a serious illness and is still a little weak. He is wearing Wolf Pelt Cloak and reaching out to touch the city wall that was burned by the flames. Even though the hard workers have cleaned up the place, Great Chieftain still seems to be able to smell the smell of blood here.
Frankly speaking, this made him feel uncomfortable.
But he did not show it, but asked:
"Have you finished the things I asked you to count before?"
Eitrigg nodded, looked around, and whispered:
"Each clan has Warlord and Warrior who actively seek war, and the number is quite alarming. Although the Wolf Spirit Priests have tried their best to restrain them, the rage brought by the demon blood is not so easy to eliminate. The lower the rank, the harder it is for Warrior to control their anger.
During this period of time, they were allowed to build a fortress and all kinds of fights were fought, and bloodshed was common.
You are right, Orgrim, these "unstable factors" must find a channel to release them.
I selected a group of the most violent ones, about 20,000 to 30,000 people, who can be replenished to the front line at any time. It just so happened that Fenris Wolfbrother also concluded that Wolf Rider has insufficient lethality when facing human heavy cavalry. He needs a powerful heavy infantry to coordinate with Wolf Rider to command ground battles."
"Then meet the requirements of Chieftain Fenris."
Great Chieftain said in a deep voice:
"Fenris Wolfbrother conquered Redridge Mountains with his outstanding ability. He proved that he is absolutely qualified to be the vanguard general of War Horde. I think it is left to him and Zuluhed to conquer Stormwind. Let Azuka lead Sword Saint to cooperate with him."
"Let's go to Brightwood, Great Chieftain."
Orgrim Wolf Spirit High Priest Olu'nok Riftheart beside took the initiative and said:
"That forest guarded by wolves will be Black Wolf God's hunting ground."
"Huh?"
Orgrim looked at him doubtfully and said:
"Are you so proactive in asking for a fight?"
"It's all because Black Wolf God's enemies have appeared, and Chieftain Azuka was attacked by a Graymane Worgen when he returned."
The high priest said in a deep voice:
"Rebellious Moon has also chosen its own electorate. The war in the Heart of the Wolf has begun. The current battlefield is at Brightwood. Please don't let other clans come to interfere with our confrontation!"
"Well, then I grant you the authority to form the "Wolfmane" clan."
Great Chieftain said:
"Since this is related to Black Wolf God's wish, then your Wolf Mane Clan will be responsible for the flank war, but a part of Wolf Spirit Priest will still have to be allocated to assist the three Chieftain in fighting Elwynn Forest.
Wolf Spirit Priest is already War Horde's most important spellcasting force. To deal with humans, Priest and mages are indispensable.
To be honest, although those Warlock also contributed, I don't trust them!"
"Hmm."
Wolf Spirit High Priest responded with usual silence.
Eitrigg asked again:
"You gave the front battlefield to the Thunderlord Clan, Dragonmaw Clan and Ravager clans, but left the most powerful Blackrock Clan and Warsong Clan in the rear. I'm worried that this will arouse the dissatisfaction of the Warriors, and they will think that you have deprived them of their glory."
"Bullshit glory! Stop messing with that word."
Orgrim scolded disdainfully:
"What kind of glory is there for Warrior, who can't even control his own anger, and whose mind is filled with slaughter and destruction? Besides, we have captured Redridge Mountains, and the direction we can move forward is no longer just Stormwind Kingdom.
Our Goblin partner gave us advice. If we want to quickly obtain high-quality military equipment, we must start with Dark Iron Dwarves located in Blackrock Mountain.
Those evil guys who worship fire are the best forging race in the world. Azuka herself said that when faced with Azeroth's magic armor, the Blademaster's Blade in her hand was no longer sharp.
Our armaments are urgently needed to be upgraded, otherwise our Warriors can only fight with flesh and blood in the face of human artillery and guns. Dark Iron Dwarvess are very good at using engineering gunpowder, and that is the war power of this world."
Great Chieftain waved his hand and said:
"Ignore the complaints of idiots who only have fists and axes in their minds, Chieftain all have brains to figure out what is the most important thing.
When our vanguard conquers Elwynn Forest, I will personally lead Blackrock Clan and Warsong Clan to Burning Steppes to complete diplomacy and business with Dark Iron Dwarf Emperor. It is said that it is the most dangerous place on this continent, and naturally it requires the strongest Orcs to conquer.
We can't always stay in Black Morass's fortress, that place is too far away from the battlefield.
If a fortress can be opened at Burning Steppes, it will be conducive to gathering and commanding. During my absence, Eitrigg, you will be in charge of our rear area and be responsible for trade with Goblin.
I grant you all the powers you need. During my absence, you must re-integrate our Horde and eliminate all those "unqualified"!
You and I both know that humans are not our ultimate enemy. Black Wolf God shows us the future. When "Felblood Calamity" arrives, I need my Horde to maintain the most perfect war state.
Nazgrel and the Black Scar Clan he formed will serve as your bodyguard."
"Well! I will never let you down."
Eitrigg glanced at Stonewall Keep who was being repaired and said:
"I will use this place as my big account and build the airship platform in the Redridge Mountains that Goblin people need to transport food. The fish caught by Lakeshire can also supplement military rations. I will gradually bring Warrior people out of Black Morass.
That place is not suitable for living.
But our Ogres war slaves and those Fel Arakkoa can continue to stay there, they like it very much."
"Well, then let Fenris and Zuluhed come to see me."
Great Chieftain glanced at the magic box carried by the guards behind him and said:
"For someone who has made such a great contribution, it makes no sense not to reward him."
A few minutes later, Fenris Wolfbrother and Zuluhed Chieftain were invited over.
The former was expressionless, while the latter was smiling. In the command room of Stonewall Keep, Orgrim Doomhammer was sitting on the main seat with a golden sword. Without talking nonsense, he pointed to the box and said in a deep voice:
"We have obtained a batch of "artifacts" from our allies. This is the last support we can get. Wolf Spirit Priest have checked it out. They are all very powerful magic weapons and can only be awarded to those warriors and heroes who have made significant contributions to Horde.
The two of you played a major role in the battle to capture Redridge Mountains, and you are qualified to choose the weapons you need from them.
Come on, accept War Horde's award, you're welcome!"
"Hey, you're welcome, Great Chieftain, who has clear rewards and punishments, we love you!"
Zuluhed strode forward and opened the treasure chest.
It was an exquisite dwarf magic treasure chest. After opening it, the internal structure stretched, revealing the artifact hidden in it to everyone. The "jewelry" shone for a while, making the chieftain's guards couldn't help but look back.
There are many weapons and protective equipment in the box, all of which are treasures collected by Medivh when he was "top numbered" by Dark Titan and sent his "Black Knights" servants around the world.
Of course, old man Sargeras must not look down on these things. The reason why there are so many treasures is purely because of the accessories of the curse he casually imposed on those unlucky people Black Knights.
Well, when it comes to those Black Knightss, they are also miserable. Their existence and fate completely prove that when Azeroth World does not abide by "business reputation" and the scammers have bad eyesight, they will suffer terrible consequences.
But now, Dark Titan Mortal realm has been "sold" by Hanging Bro, and these "good things" are cheaper for Orcs.
"Oh my god, there are so many artifacts! Gul'dan dreams of getting them, but in the end it is us loyal people who share the power. Sure enough, only loyalty is the virtue of the One! And loyalty itself is a reward!"
Zuluhed rubbed his hands in surprise. While flattering him, he said in an exaggerated tone:
"Everything here was a legend in Draenor, but now it is available to me like a street stall. The potential of this world is too exaggerated."
"Too many words."
Fenris Wolfbrother glanced at Warlock, looked up and down in the box, and finally settled on two pirate-style golden Plunder Blade. He touched them and felt the power flowing in them. Then he took them off and wore them around his waist. He nodded to Great Chieftain and said:
"This pair of Marauder Warblades is very suitable for me. Thank you for your award, Great Chieftain. I will definitely get glory for Black Wolf God and War Horde."
"Hmm."
Orgrim nodded, he had no interest in these "artifacts".
Black Wolf God told him that every powerful item in this box has some kind of powerful curse attached to it.
This is why Medivh must lock them in the Karazhan cellar under normal circumstances. No reasonable Warrior should access them.
"I want this powerful Magic Warscythe!"
Zuluhed After repeated selections, he took out a black staff and a dark sickle with a sinister wind and held it in his hand. He said:
"This thing is Fel's artifact. It is most suitable for Warlock like me. Thank you for your commendation, Great Chieftain. I will definitely give everything for Horde's victory. However, it is not that I am greedy, but I also need another weapon in this box."
He pointed at the two-handed magic blade that exuded a cold aura at the bottom of the box and said to Orgrim:
"This Demon Sword contains the power of necromancy, and I am shaping the powerful Death Knight and the powerful Undead bone dragon for your Horde. Strong destructive power, the lack of Necromantic Power like Shadowmoon Clan in our hands has caused the slow progress of this plan. However, this Demon Sword can be used as a perfect medium for psychic rituals.
Yes!
With it, I'm sure I can create an army of death for you in a short time!
What's even better is that there are many human warriors who died in the Redridge Mountains, and we can use their remains as the first batch of consumables."
This evil method made Orgrim feel disgusted for a while, but he waved his hand and did not refuse. Then amidst Warlock's surprised laughter, he heard Fenris Wolfbrother say in an indifferent tone:
"Humans blew up the Lakeshire bridge, which delayed our progress, but Wolf Rider found another one that passed through the local Gnoll territory. I wanted to kill all the weak lycanthropes, but the Wolf Spirit Priests stopped me.
They said Black Wolf God had other plans for Gnoll's fate."
"Huh?"
Orgrim looked at Wolf Spirit High Priest next to him in surprise. Oroonok bent down and whispered a few words in Great Chieftain's ear. Orgrim nodded after thinking for a moment and said to Chieftain Fenris:
"You don't have to worry about Gnoll, Fenris, let your Wolf Rider rest for a few days, and I will deal with their problems. Before we arrived, Gnoll was the biggest threat and hidden danger to the Stormwind Kingdom. Although these beastmen are not strong, they are widely distributed in the Stormwind Kingdom and even the entire world.
Black Wolf God believes that we should make good use of their advantages.
War Horde cannot always let our Warriors exchange their flesh and blood for victory, we also need to make good use of the power of the servant army."
"I don't think these weak bastards are qualified to hunt with us."
The cold Fenris curled his lips in disdain.
But he did not reject Great Chieftain's proposal, but left the castle with his new weapon and a spear in his hands, staggeringly.
Not long after, under the escort of a Wolf Spirit Priest, the local Gnoll leader, Darkhide Chieftain Van'gol, and his servant Warrior Yowler were brought into Stonewall Keep.
The two Gnoll were trembling, obviously frightened by the murderous aura of the powerful Orcs Blood Guard next to Orgrim.
These local species, which were suppressed and beaten by humans, saw with their own eyes how Orcs conquered Redridge Mountains. They couldn't even defeat humans, let alone fight against the more powerful Orcs.
"How many of you are there?"
Orgrim has a strong learning ability. He has already mastered human language and asked questions.
Faced with Great Chieftain's inquiry, Darkhide Gnoll Chieftain immediately replied:
"Many, many! The entire valley is ours!"
"I asked you for details. Forget it."
Orgrim didn't bother with Gnoll's annoying mathematical ability. He stared at Fan Gaolei and said:
"We are at war with humans, and we lack local people as guides. You have been fighting humans for hundreds of years, and you must have deep hatred. So, are you willing to bring your clan to join War Horde?"
"Yes, yes!"
Fan Gaolei is not just a Gnoll Warrior, this guy also knows some superficial Shadowfiend methods. He rolled his eyes and said:
"But the powerful humans in the tower control my people, help me kill him! Darkhide Clan will obey you, the powerful Great Chieftain. Not only Darkhide Clan, but also Riverpaw Clan!"
My friend "boss" Hogger is very powerful!
We can form an alliance!
Riverpaw Clan has clansmen in Elwynn Forest and Westfall, you will need us, Black Wolf God. Yes, Black Wolf God needs us too! Gnoll is also a wolf! Gnoll can also join the wolf pack!
Hunting! Ouch!
Powerful hunting and endless bones!"
This guy started howling as he spoke, which made Great Chieftain confused. He turned back to look at Wolf Spirit High Priest, who explained:
"There is a mage "Morgus" expelled by Stormwind who is hiding in an abandoned tower in the territory of Gnoll. He uses evil spells to control some Gnoll. That guy should be a self-taught Warlock.
It is said that the mastermind behind the series of mysterious murders and tomb robberies that occurred at the Redridge Mountains is that evil guy, and we are preparing to kill him."
"Wait!"
Zuluhed, who was stroking his new weapon, suddenly came to his senses when he heard the word "Warlock". He said loudly:
"Since he is Warlock, he is a fellow man! He is still self-taught, how can he kill such a good young talent casually? Leave it to me, Great Chieftain, and I will persuade him to surrender and serve Black Wolf God's Hunting Pack."
"Humph."
Orgrim glanced at him and said:
"Then leave it to you, Zuluhed, take care of your Warlock, don't become the second Gul'dan!"
"Are you two ready?"
In the Redridge Mountains's Lumber Mill, Warrior Nazgrel, which had been rebuilt from the Black Scar Clan, was riding on Dire Wolf. Looking at the two somewhat similar young Orcs in front of him, he said:
"Great Chieftain allows you to recruit Warrior in the Blackrock Clan and establish your own "Black Tooth Grin" clan. You are also allowed to choose Choose where to go. Should you follow Fenris Wolfbrother and Zuluhed to attack Stormwind, or follow Great Chieftain to Burning Steppes?"
"Can that traitor be so kind?"
Rend Blackhand spat on the ground and cursed:
"I don't believe it. He must have some conspiracy."
"It doesn't have to be so extreme, brother."
Maim Blackhand suppressed his irritable brother from saying more dirty words in front of the "Great Chieftain die-hard" in front of him. He whispered:
"Orgrim is not that kind of person. He said he would give us a chance to challenge him, and he would definitely not break his promise. Having his own clan is also a good thing. We continue to serve War Horde, but what's the use of just having clan members?
At least give us a batch of supplies and weapons, right?
Moreover, we are a small clan and will not be of use on the battlefield. Are there any other important tasks for us to do?"
"Well, there is indeed one thing that needs help."
Nazgrel is quite friendly to brothers Blackhand. The life experience of these two guys reminded him of his past self, so he re-armed them with his spare weapons and said:
"Goblin of Venture Company is transporting grain to us, but they lack guards. Warlord Varok is recruiting Warrior. If you want to do something for War Horde, then go and guard the grain road.
I serve as your recommender to Eitrigg Warlord, but you have to do your job well and don't think about what you have or don't have!"
"You are a good person, Nazgrel."
Rend Blackhand grabbed a Burning Blade Clan sword and waved it, he whispered:
"Thank you, we Brotherhood remember this friendship, guard the grain road, right? Okay! That's what we'll do."
