Unlike the totem-powered steam engines currently used by the Horde, the Dwarves tanks utilize firestone steam engines. They employ a sophisticated device that uses a gem called hellfirestone as a heat source to power the boiler.

In other words, as long as the Dwarves tank's steam engine is equipped with a firestone heat engine, water can be added directly to start it. If the terrain conditions permit, the lifespan of one hellfirestone can allow the tank to travel a distance of 50,000 meters, with a maximum speed of 2,700 meters per hour, or 3,000 yards, and a range of 400 to 500 meters.

The firestone device of the Dwarves tank was the work of Gnomes. Besides this combination of science and magic, although the Dwarves tank was of inferior quality, it could be assembled and disassembled by hand, which was a convenient feature.

The Dwarves used a magical box to transport tank parts. This magical box was made of wood wrapped with magic iron and inlaid with gem fragments. Not only did it have a huge capacity, but it could also float and propel itself like a magic carpet, making it exceptionally convenient.

Although the quality was not ideal, many bright spots were discovered. Zul'ra instructed Gaodier to record the necessary information, even if it could not be used by the Horde, it could still be used in possible future battles with the Alliance.

Taking advantage of her inspection of the troops, Zul'ra not only openly spied on the Dwarves tanks and firearms, but also dealt with a few minor conflicts. Well, after Bolvar decided to crack down on military discipline, racial and factional conflicts that did not exist before began to appear sporadically.

However, this conflict did not lie between the main races of the Horde and the high-ranking generals of the Alliance, but rather between the Goblins mercenaries and the mid-level human generals. The Goblins mercenaries complained about the unfair quality and quantity of their food, while the mid-level human generals of the Alliance criticized the Horde races.

The coalition forces were composed of diverse individuals, and there were indeed some inappropriate aspects, such as their food treatment. Because the Alliance was largely based on a feudal society, the quality of food naturally declined from one rank to the next. Canned fruit and meat were given priority to high-ranking officers and knights, while soldiers could only eat bread, biscuits, and potatoes.

Zul'ra had the quartermaster revise the supplies. Under the condition that conditions were met, the soldiers were given canned food and meat every now and then. As for staple food, every soldier should be fed to their heart's content, but not absolutely egalitarian, because if Shu'halo's portion of food was given to the Goblins, he would not be able to eat it at all.

What needs to be changed must be changed, and what needs to be punished cannot be tolerated. Zul'ra berated the Goblins mercenaries, the officers of the Seventh Legion, and the officers of Kor'kron. Of course, this beating was not an insult to vent anger, but a reprimand with a strong warning meaning that they had not controlled the morale of the army.

Warning officers was paramount, and propaganda among the soldiers was equally crucial. Zul'ra convened a meeting of high priests, Priest, and other religious figures, instructing them to take responsibility for proclaiming the teachings of the gods, the elements, and the Light, explaining to the soldiers the significance of protecting the world and maintaining unity, and describing the kind of adversary the allied forces faced.

With a series of coordinated attacks, the troublemakers were quickly suppressed, and the allied forces entered a quiet and serious atmosphere. All the soldiers knew what kind of enemy they were facing: an entire army of ferocious insectoids, and it was said that there was also a god involved. They were on high alert, but they were also inevitably gripped by panic.

The members of the coalition, whether human, Trolls, or Shu'halo, were mostly superstitious, except for the ignorant Orcs. Even though they knew they were facing an evil god and that a deity stood behind them, they still believed from the bottom of their hearts that mortals could not compare with gods.

Based on their superstition about gods, even if it was an outdated evil god, the allied soldiers inevitably fell into panic amidst their worries, and their morale kept dropping. However, Zul'ra couldn't deal with these issues at this time because Gaodier had captured an Orcs with a very special identity, who could be summarized as Orcs.

Garona, Orcs, was the offspring of Orcs thug and Draenei woman during the Old Horde's conquest of Draenei cities. As Orcs, she should have perished in Orcs society, but she was chosen and promoted by an Orcs —Gul'dan, the Orcs of the Shadow Council and the Blackhand behind the Old Horde.

Gul'dan promoted and appreciated Garona, and Garona served him. After the Dark Portal, she was sent to Karazhan as Gul'dan's envoy to meet Karazhan Medivh. During this time, she met Khadgar, Medivh's apprentice, and gained respect among the humans, which led her to decide to break away from Gul'dan.

Garona helped Lothar and Khadgar deal with the corrupted Medivh, and because of this, she gained the trust of the Stormwind leadership and was able to accompany Lothar to Stormwind. However, she was unaware that her experience was a complete trap.

When the Old Horde first crossed the Dark Portal, their strength was not very high due to the environment and the number of people. Although Stormwind was difficult to attack, its tall and sturdy walls made it relatively easy to defend. However, at this critical moment, King Llane of Stormwind was assassinated.

The assassin who killed the King of Stormwind was Garona, who had gained the trust of the Stormwind Stormwind. Her gain of their trust was a complete trap. Gul'dan used magic to control her, causing her to assassinate Llane unexpectedly and rip out his heart. Stormwind quickly fell.

After the fall of Stormwind, Garona fled in panic, but she was quickly captured by an Orcs Orcs would later become Warchief Orgrim. After capturing Garona, Orgrim tortured her severely, obtaining a list of Shadow Council members from her. With this information, Orgrim successfully challenged the former Warchief Blackhand and eliminated all Shadow Council members except Gul'dan, successfully safeguarding his power.

After the Dark Portal closed during the Second War and the Old Horde was defeated, most of the Orcs were imprisoned in internment camps, while Garona managed to escape and wander to an unknown place. Many years later, she reappeared in the Allied camp and was captured due to her mysterious whereabouts, and handed over to Gaodier.

"Did she say anything?" Zul'ra looked at the disheveled, yellowish-green female Orcs in the tent, her limbs somewhat thin, her fangs barely visible, and her eyes gleaming. After lowering the curtain in her hand, she asked Gaodier beside her.

"No, she infiltrated Kor'kron secretly, but she overlooked Kor'kron organization and was arrested without a legitimate identity. So far, she hasn't said anything except her name, and I haven't interrogated her yet." Gaodier shook his head.
