Outside Stormwind, a massive Horde army had gathered. The legion was clad primarily in black plate armor, exceptionally well-equipped and radiating an overwhelming presence. Though its composition was diverse, every member was a battle-hardened veteran.
There was only one such legion in all of Azeroth: the Trifarix Legion.
Since Rend had founded it, the legion had fought across north and south, always active at the forefront of the Horde. The warriors it had lost numbered more than a hundred thousand.
The Centaur, the Scourge, the First Legion, the Burning Legion, and the Army of the Light—every one of these formidable enemies had fought the Trifarix Legion. It was through such brutal warfare that this strongest legion of mortals had been forged.
When attacking the Crossroads Outpost and Westbrook Garrison earlier, Rend had not deployed the Trifarix Legion. Instead, he had left the task to the Kor'kron and the Glory Warband, all to save them for an even harsher battle: the frontal assault on Stormwind.
Originally, Garrosh Hellscream and Dranosh Saurfang had both competed for the role of leading the main assault on Stormwind. Yet Rend merely smiled and pointed out that the Kor'kron and the Glory Warband had already suffered heavy losses in the earlier battles, making them unsuitable to continue as the main attacking force. This difficult task would be left to the Trifarix Legion.
Garrosh Hellscream and Dranosh Saurfang were both dumbfounded upon hearing Rend's words. Only Jorin Deadeye calmly accepted the order, as though he had expected it all along.
Only then did the two understand why Jorin Deadeye had not been in the least anxious to send the Trifarix Legion against the Crossroads Outpost and Westbrook Garrison. Jorin Deadeye had long known that Rend would reserve the crucial main assault on Stormwind for the Trifarix Legion.
