Horde High Warlord Dranosh Saurfang had taken the initiative not merely out of anger, but also for the sake of the war.
Although the Glory Warband had reached Stonard through the portal, they faced a formidable enemy that occupied all of Draenor.
Thus, blindly defending Stonard would only leave them in a more passive position. The road connecting the Swamp of Sorrows and the Blasted Lands was extremely narrow. As long as they seized control of it beforehand, they could limit the Lightbound Army of the Light's numerical advantage.
"Warlord Zog, I entrust the task of constructing the fortifications to you. Let those lunatics who worship the Light witness the Glory Warband's strength." No sentry post or bulwark had ever been built along the road connecting the Swamp of Sorrows and the Blasted Lands, because the road belonged to both sides and held little defensive value. But now, facing the Lightbound invasion, they needed a bulwark as a defensive fortification to ensure the Glory Warband could hold its ground.
