Volume 7: Battle for Azeroth Chapter 369 Orgrim's Grand Strategy
In the end, only 200,000 people retreated to Dun Morogh.
But what the tribe did next made the Alliance feel uncomfortable.
The Horde simply destroyed several tunnels in the Loch Modan Mountains with goblin bombs.
You have to know that there are towering mountains between Dun Morogh and the Wetlands, and you can only get there through the tunnels built by the dwarves.
Now that these tunnels have been blown up, it will be almost impossible for the army to attack directly through them.
You can either go by sea, or take a huge detour and take the Scorching Plains - Burning Canyon route.
Godwin hurriedly convened the leaders of the Alliance to discuss how to advance next, and even worried that the Horde would take the opportunity to attack Ironforge.
Unexpectedly, the Horde soon gave up on Khaz Modan and retreated directly to Stormwind City after joining forces with the siege army of the Bleeding Hollow Clan.
Most of the fortresses and castles that had been captured previously had been abandoned.
This time the alliance really couldn’t understand it.
Are the orcs so cowardly in war? They just lost a few battles, so they gave up?
You should know that the Alliance has suffered heavy casualties in the war during this period, losing more than 100,000 troops. After all, the individual combat power of orcs is stronger than that of humans, and it is all thanks to the advanced arms and various strategic advantages that the orcs were killed in large numbers.
If the fight really gets serious, I can't say that I will definitely win.
As a result, the tribe just ran away. What the hell is this?
In fact, not only the Alliance was confused, but the chiefs of various clans in the tribe were also bewildered, and they had many complaints about the chief's strategy of continuous retreat.
Orcs respect the strong and value strength. In the past, Orgrim was able to lead the Horde to victory after victory, break out of the Dark Portal, capture Stormwind City, and sweep across Dun Morogh. Naturally, his reputation soared and he was the one who made it.
Now that he has been beaten into such a state by the alliance army, how can he convince the people?
At this moment, a major military meeting was being held in Stormwind City, and all the tribal leaders were summoned.
Even some clan chieftains responsible for opening up the Stranglethorn Vale battlefield and the Swamp of Sorrows were summoned .
Orgrim sat on the throne of the great chief (actually the throne of King Llane), glancing at the surrounding tribal leaders.
Orgrim (Chief): "The Alliance's army is about to arrive at Stormwind City. We must make arrangements for the tribe's next strategy. I have to admit that these humans are more difficult to deal with than I expected, as evidenced by the previous battles.
Despite the bravery of our tribe's warriors, we still suffered some setbacks.
But I have thought of a brilliant tactic that will catch them all in one fell swoop and completely destroy the Alliance's army."
Hearing Orgrim's words, the orc chieftains immediately began to discuss excitedly.
That's right. The Great Chief is indeed the Great Chief and he will definitely lead us to victory.
Orgrim (Chief): "Master Ner'zhul, you claimed before that you wanted to seek the power of the Old Gods so that you could completely defeat the humans, right?"
Ner'zhul was immediately delighted, thinking that the great chief had finally made a decision.
Ner'zhul (Shadowmoon Chieftain): "Yes, Chieftain. The orc warriors transformed by the power of the abyss will be extremely powerful. However, the power of the abyss that I possess is not enough to complete the transformation of all orcs. But if the Chieftain can support me and mobilize the army of the tribe, we will be able to dig out the ancient gods, lift the ancient seal, and release the power buried in it. The orcs will gain endless power of the abyss, which is more powerful than the blood of demons.
I have communicated with the Ancient Gods and have learned about several locations where they are sealed. As long as we gather all the forces of the tribe to attack, we will surely succeed..."
Before he could finish his words, several high-level warlocks suddenly became anxious.
"Nonsense, what the hell are the Old Gods? Those evil creatures will completely corrupt the orcs' souls, control our minds, and destroy our sanity. At that time, the orcs will become slaves of the Old Gods."
Grog Evil Eye shouted angrily, "Only the Burning Legion is the master truly worthy of service. I have contacted the great demon lord Archimonde. As long as we can offer enough sacrifices, we can summon the support of the demon lords from the Burning Legion. The power of demon blood is obvious to all. Drinking demon blood again and awakening the wildness in the orcs is the key for the orcs to conquer this world."
Kilrogg Deadeye couldn't help but stand up at this time. "Great Chief, our Bleeding Hollow clan recently found a god named Blood God Hakkar in the jungle of Stranglethorn Vale. He is an ancient evil god worshipped by the trolls. The trolls have always recorded the ritual of summoning Blood God Hakkar. Perhaps we can use the power of the god to defeat the Alliance."
As soon as he said this, he was immediately despised by both Ner'zhul and Grog the Evil Eye.
Ner'zhul was simply rejecting his competitors, but Grog Evil Eye really looked down on the Blood God Hakkar. He was an Old God or the Burning Legion, but how could a mere Blood God like you come out to seek attention? How shameless of you!
"Great Chief, please tell me when the time comes. Will you choose to seek the power of the devil or the power of the ancient gods?"
Orgrim waved his hand proudly, "Why should I choose? I want all these powers."
"Master Ner'zhul, I will give you 50,000 orc troops to join your Shadowmoon Clan. Go and seek and tap into the power of the Ancient Gods, and use the power of the Abyss to create a powerful Abyss Orc Legion."
Master Grog, the Evil Eye, I will also give you an army of 50,000 orcs to join your Evil Fire Clan, as well as all the captured indigenous creatures. Use them as sacrifices to summon the power of the Burning Legion and use the blood of demons to create an army of evil orcs.
Kilrogg Deadeye, your Bleeding Hollow clan already has a large force, so I will not give you any additional reinforcements. Lead your Bleeding Hollow clan to Stranglethorn Vale, unite the trolls there, and summon the Blood God Hakkar. Facing the powerful enemy of the Alliance, we need any allies we can find.
Nekros, didn't you say before that you wanted to find the Dragon Islands, hunt more dragon beasts, and build a powerful dragon knight army? I will also give you an army of 50,000 orcs to strengthen your Dragonmaw Clan.
Rend Blackhand, Maim Blackhand, you are both sons of Blackhand and warriors of the tribe. You have always wanted to establish your own clan, right? To wash away the shame of your father.
Now I will give you this opportunity. I will give you the command of 50,000 Blackrock Orcs to conquer the Blackrock Mountains for me, seize Blackrock Spire, and use the metal resources in Blackrock Mountain to build an iron army for me.
Badao Wuqing, you have fought very well in the recent battles. The Badao clan has behaved very bravely. You are worthy of being the warriors of the tribe. Therefore, I have an important task for you.
Lead your clan, and I'll give you another 50,000 orcs, back to Draenor.
Draenor should not be abandoned. Although the environment there is harsh, it is the home of the orcs after all. I guess there must be many orc adventurers there. I want you to rebuild Hellfire Citadel, recruit more orc troops there, and train an unprecedentedly large army..."
Everyone was stunned after listening to the strategy arranged by Orgrim.
The great chief is crazy! Although the tribe has a large army, the territory they occupied before was too large, so many troops were stationed in various places for defense.
Then he fought several big defeats and lost three or four hundred thousand troops. Now there are more than five hundred thousand orc troops assembled in Stormwind. According to his method of division, three hundred thousand will be taken away directly. Can Stormwind still be defended?
"Captain, are you going to give up Stormwind City?"
"No, of course not. I will personally lead the army to defend Stormwind City."
"But the Alliance's army is about to attack."
Orgrim smiled slightly, "This is the subtlety of my plan. Stormwind is a solid city, a powerful fortress that is difficult to conquer. I will lead my army to firmly defend this place. The Alliance army will definitely attack Stormwind with all their might and try to take back the city that belongs to them.
This way you can complete your plans with peace of mind.
I will give you one year. As long as I defend Stormwind City for a year, the Alliance's army will be exhausted by the siege and lose their fighting spirit. And after a year, all six of your troops will have completed their respective tasks.
The Abyss Legion of Ner'zhul, the Fel Orc Legion of Grog Evil Eye, the Blood God Legion of Kilrogg Deadeye, the Dragon Rider Legion of Nekros, the Draenor Legion of the Ruthless Blade, and the Blackrock Iron Legion of Rend Blackhand.
The six armies surrounded Stormwind City, and the Alliance's army would be completely annihilated here. Without this coalition force, the world would no longer have the power to resist the tribe.
Everyone was confused after hearing this.
This plan sounds reasonable at first, but the question is how can it be sustained for a year? Can Stormwind really hold out for a year?
It's terrible no matter how you look at it.
Ner'zhul asked tentatively, "Great Chief, what if, I mean what if, Stormwind City falls within this year?"
"Humph, how can we fight a war without taking some risks?"
"But if you are gone, who will succeed you as the Warchief?" Ner'zhul said, raising his head proudly. As the spiritual leader of the orcs, he felt that the position of Warchief belonged to him.
"If I unfortunately die in battle--" Orgrim's eyes swept across the faces of the chiefs and generals one by one. Every orc chief held his head high. Although the orcs respect the strong, who will be the chief will still be determined by strength. However, if they can get the direct recognition of the great chief, they will gain more supporters legally.
"Ba Dao Wu Qing, you will be the new chieftain."
I am the chief? Ba Dao Wu Qing was stunned.
After being stunned for a few seconds, he slapped his thigh and said, "Fuck, the chief is wise. I think this plan is very feasible."
