Of course Illidan has no intention of attacking Nethergarde Keep. Apart from being more interested in strength and his sister-in-law, he only wants to fight against the Burning Legion. Otherwise, he would be sorry for the suffering he has suffered for so many years. But now, he regards Hellfire Citadel as his first stop to take over Outland.
In Illidan's opinion, Orcs is a very good soldier. If possible, he must recruit him, not to mention that this fortress blocks his way. Illidan does not intend to take a detour. First, it will take a long time. Second, it will be very dangerous to leave the only remaining main road in this broken world. No one knows what he will encounter.
Now that Illidan had made a decision and his men had no objections, such a large army marched directly towards Hellfire Citadel. Under Illidan's signal, this army made no secret and made it clear that it was going to attack Hellfire Citadel.
Orcs of Hellfire Citadel naturally discovered this. The soldiers on the city wall immediately blew the horns. The distant and majestic horn sound echoed in Hellfire Peninsula. Along with the horn sound, a large number of Orcs appeared.
Although the environment of Hellfire Peninsula is harsh, there are still many Orcs gathered here, at least accounting for a small half of the remaining Orcs in the entire Outland, and most of these Orcs are gathered in this dilapidated fortress.
Since Dark Portal closed, Hellfire Citadel has lost its role. Kargath who took over the place later was not a craftsman who was good at repairing the fortress. Orcs who drank Demon Blood did not pay attention to his living environment, so the fortress became more and more dilapidated.
However, the most important city wall outside the fortress still maintains basic integrity. Even Orcs, who has burned out his brain in Demon Blood, also knows the importance of protecting himself. Other things do not need to be maintained, but the city wall must be protected.
"Speaking of which, we haven't seen Kargath and his Orcs plundering everywhere for a long time. If our Gryphon Rider hadn't come here occasionally to check on the situation, I would have thought they were dead." Danath followed Aaron on an old horse and said to him.
"There is no need for you to come." Aaron glanced at Danath and asked in confusion, "Haven't you and Hellfire Citadel been coexisting peacefully for a long time?"
"Peaceful coexistence is forced by the environment. If I have a choice, I actually want to kill all Orcs." Underneath the smile on Danath's face is a murderous intention to do what he said. His expression immediately changed, he looked in the direction of Hellfire Citadel and sighed, "I came here this time because I actually wanted to see the end of my old rival. After all, everyone has been in this ghost place with no grass for so long..."
Aaron guesses that Danath is talking about Kargath·Bladefist. Even among Orcs, this one can be regarded as one It's weird. Kargath was originally a gladiator controlled by Ogre. He later gained freedom at the cost of cutting off his own hands. Later, he tied a pair of blades to his arms. This is also the origin of his surname.
Later, Kargath led a group of enslaved Orcs gladiators to resist the rule of Ogre, and eventually not only overthrew the Ogre empire, but also formed a famous Orcs tribe: Shattered Hand Clan.
When Orcs invaded Azeroth, Kargath did not go but was responsible for staying behind Hellfire Citadel. Later, Horde was defeated. Ner'zhul wanted to find a new way out for Orcs, Kargath also responded to Ner'zhul and joined the self-rescue operation of Orcs. As a result, the operation failed, resulting in a big explosion that completely disintegrated Draenor. After that, Kargath finally returned to Hellfire Citadel and regarded this place as its own territory.
"What a mess." Illidan commented on this fortress, and then ordered the Naga witches to give these Orcs a meeting gift: a Lightning storm of unprecedented scale.
Originally there were spellcasters among Orcs. It was Shaman at the beginning. After Gul'dan became the first Orc Warlock, a large number of Shaman turned to. Fel road, but most of these spell casters have left Draenor, Hellfire Citadel There are not zero Warlock left here, but not enough, at least they cannot compete with this Lightning storm cast by outsiders.
So the Orcss on the city wall were in bad luck. They were hit by Lightning one after another without any cover or obstruction. Even the most rough-skinned and thick-skinned Ogre couldn't withstand it. This spell bombing forced the Orcss to leave the city wall and take the initiative to attack.
As the door of Hellfire Citadel opened, groups of Orcs walked out. These muscular Orcs waved their weapons, their eyes were full of Bloodlust's desire. The most important thing is that their skin was dark red.
"Fel Orcs?" Aaron stared hard, turned to look at Danath, and found that Danath also had a look of surprise on his face. He didn't know when his old rival had changed his skin color again.
The power of Fel Orcs is stronger than that of the green-skinned Orcs, but the level of chaos has also become higher. These Fel Orcss rushing out in a chaotic manner are disorderly at all. One Fel Orcs will often lead dozens of companions around him to rush out together with a shout.
In comparison, the formations of the Nagas are much stricter. These guys who have been fighting various races on land and sea for ten thousand years have developed an excellent wartime command system under the training of frequent wars.
Moreover, the physical fitness of Naga barbarians is much stronger than that of Fel Orcs. In front of these big men, the personal force that Orcs is proud of is nothing, not to mention that Naga witches can also cast spells to assist in the battle.
The Fel Orcs who rushed out in a swarm were quickly defeated. Even Murloc, who was not good at land combat, was able to bully Orcs by relying on their numerical advantage. At this time, the battle had completely lost its suspense. In the end, the few Fel Orcs who still had some brains withdrew to the castle in time and closed the door tightly.
As for the remaining Fel Orcs, some became prisoners of Illidan, and those who completely lost their minds as the battle progressed were buried here.
After appreciating the results of his men's battle with satisfaction, Illidan nodded, walked to the Hellfire Citadel gate, and took out a head-sized green orb under the trembling eyes of a small number of Orcs on the city wall.
I saw Illidan holding the orb in one hand and Skull of Gul'dan in the other, summoning a thick green beam of light that hit Hellfire Citadel's city gate.
The spells cast by Eye of Sargeras are naturally extremely powerful, not to mention that the gate of the fortress is in a state of disrepair, and the Orcss, who lack excellent craftsmen, just nailed some wooden boards to the door to cope with the problem.
With Illidan's blow, the door fell to the ground, and even the passage behind the door was shattered by the beam of light. The Orcs who were hiding inside were so frightened that they couldn't help but flee inside. However, this did not change their fate. The enemy who had just defeated them outside the door had already rushed in. Even if the Orcss who had mustered up their fighting spirit still wanted to fight the intruders, they could not escape the fate of being killed or captured.
"This battle is very easy." Illidan played with Eye of Sargeras, standing on the high wall and watching the battle below.
Aaron did not pay attention to the proud Illidan, but was waiting for Vereesa to find traces of Kargath, not only because Danath wanted to see the ending of his old rival with his own eyes, but also because Aaron had a different feeling about the big names in this kind of game, and naturally wanted to see the real person if he had the chance.
