Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

Priscim's scouts have been searching for the whereabouts of the Frostwolf clan for several years, but the harsh weather and endless mountains in Alterac Snow Mountains have made little progress for the scouts.

The Frostwolf clan has been living in seclusion since they broke away from the main force of the tribe. Except for occasionally taking their tamed snow wolves into the forest for low-key hunting, they have never left this snow-capped mountain range.

At the beginning of this year, Prism reported the good news that the scouts finally found some footprints clearly from the orcs in the snow.

Looking at it now, the Frostwolf orcs were ready to leave the mountain at that time, and it was too late to discover their traces.

"Let the Frostwolf Clan go first."

Andrea didn't intend to continue to blame Prism, and quickly changed the subject, "Let's talk about the Warsong clan. When did they sneak into the Arathi Highlands from the south?"

After the Dark Portal closed, the Warsong Clan and Thunder King Clan were unfortunately locked on the side of Azeroth.

The leader of the Thunder King clan was named Fenris, who was originally born in the Frostwolf clan and was the eldest brother of the former chieftain Durotan.

Because he was dissatisfied with his father Galad's idea of ​​uniting all clans, he left the Frostwolf clan and joined the Thunder King clan, which respected personal force and took a tough stand, and relied on his own struggle to become the chief of the Thunder King clan.

The Blasted Lands where the Dark Portal is located is an area that the Alliance focuses on defending. Fenris, who is more intelligent, did not leave the Blasted Lands like the Warsong Clan, but faced the difficulties in a small swamp forest west of the Blasted Lands settle down.

The purpose of Fenris is to monitor the situation of the Dark Portal at any time, so that he can return to Draenor to check the situation as soon as the portal opens again.

When the Alliance closed the Dark Portal, they brought back the sad news that Draenor was torn apart by countless space rifts, but the Thunder King clan in Fenris still did not want to believe that Draenor had been destroyed. They wanted to witness the real situation in their hometown with their own eyes .

Unlike the Warsong clan, Grom basically had nothing else on his mind except fighting.

He left the cursed land and went to the Swamp of Sorrows not to avoid the battle, but to get closer to the core area of ​​the Stormwind Kingdom and vent his grief and indignation on these humans.

Grom's only son, Garrosh, was unfortunately infected with a disease called the Red Scourge in Draenor. He was isolated in Nagrand with other sick people and did not participate in the tribe's military operations.

The Red Scourge is a long-standing disease unique to Draenor. It is said to originate from the spread of plant germs from spore organisms such as forest elves and thorn beasts. It is highly contagious and will appear in orc society every few generations. A big explosion.

Durotan's father, Galad, also contracted the disease during the worst outbreak of the orcs' red natural disaster, and was ordered to be isolated in Nagrand by the then orc spiritual leader Ner'zhul.

Galad died of illness soon, but his calmness in commanding the patients won the respect of most of them. To commemorate the Frostwolf chief, the surviving patients named the isolated town Galadar .

Grom's only son, Garrosh, was also one of those unfortunately infected with the red plague. Grom originally planned to win a new living space for the tribe and return to Nagrand to visit his son.

Priscim still lowered her head and reported respectfully, "A few years ago, when the Stormwind Kingdom was relatively weak, the Warsong clan could barely survive in the Swamp of Sorrows."

"However, with the completion of the rebuilding of the Stormwind Kingdom and its growing strength, the space for the Warsong clan's activities has been compressed to the limit. Chief Grom had to take his clansman to venture north to find a new hiding place."

"After the war, the defenses of all countries against the wandering orcs have weakened. The Kingdom of Stormgard, which guards the Arathi Highlands, did not investigate for a while, and was sneaked into the Arathi Highlands by the Warsong Clan across the Sador Bridge."

Although the terrain of Arathi Heights is relatively high, this plateau area with relatively flat terrain is actually very suitable for planting various crops. Otherwise, Emperor Thoradin would not have established his capital here.

Warsong orcs entering the Arathi Highlands are like rats entering a granary. Several grain storage warehouses in the Kingdom of Stormgard were raided, and the losses were not small.

"King Solas is currently busy clearing the orcs in the vast highlands, but with the mobility of the Warsong clan... I'm afraid the encirclement and suppression operation will not be so smooth."

The Warsong clan has always had a tradition of domesticating war wolves. During the period when their brains were burned by the blood of demons, they slaughtered their mounts to wrap their stomachs because of lack of food.

After coming to Azeroth, because the effect of the demon blood faded, Grom's sanity improved greatly, and he ordered to tame a new wolf mount in this brand new world.

The reason why the Warsong Clan was able to cross the Sador Bridge and enter the Arathi Highlands was due to the mobility brought by riding a war wolf.

The Arathi Highlands are also rich in mounts, and the highland warhorses with excellent endurance have always been respected by all human countries.

However, the Highland Warhorse has a shortcoming, strong durability but insufficient explosive power, and explosive power is precisely the advantage of the war wolf.

The war wolves tamed by the Warsong Clan still maintain their original wildness to a large extent, and they can explode at terrifying speeds at the moment of hunting.

Moreover, wolves are inherently deterrent to gentle herbivores like horses. The process of the highland cavalry in Stormgard's elimination of orcs was very difficult, and they were led by the Warsong clan to walk around.

"Arathi Highlands..."

Andrea rested his chin on one hand and muttered, "Hillsbrad, where the Frostwolf orcs are active, is next door to the Arathi Highlands. If the two groups of orcs join together, their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved. All are likely to be compromised one by one.”

"Plissim."

"exist."

"Send a message to Solas, asking him to pay attention to defend Thoradin's Wall and prevent the Warsong orcs from entering Hillsbrad."

"yes."

...

On the second day after Andrea's order was issued, the Warsong orcs rushed all the way and broke through a small agricultural village in the northeast corner of the Arathi Highlands.

Before Stormgard's highland cavalry came after them, they quickly changed direction and fled westward before the human army began to encircle them.

Solas, who was sitting in Stromgarde, was so annoyed by these orcs running around that his brain throbbed. When he received a warning from the scouts sent by Andrea, his originally messed up mind suddenly cleared up.

"Snapped!"

He patted the armrest of the throne heavily, and Solas, who was already full of hair, gritted his teeth and said excitedly, "I see, their ultimate goal is to join forces with the Frostwolf orcs in Hillsbrad, so that will be easy."

Now that he knew the opponent's target, Solas quickly came up with an ambush strategy.

He quietly sent people to strengthen the defense of Thoradin's Wall, and planted a large number of heavy infantry at the Northford Farm in the west of the Arathi Highlands, and the highland cavalry continued to follow behind the Warsong orcs to exert pressure.

As Andrea said, the Warsong orcs heard about Hillsbrad's situation from the local human farmers, and Grom was planning to take advantage of the unsuspecting humans to forcibly pass through Thoradin's Wall, where the city gate had not yet been closed.

When Dan Grom led a large number of warsong wolf cavalry to the majestic Wall of Thoradin, the gate had already been lowered, and thousands of archers with strong bows stood on the wall and drew their bowstrings.

"Let the arrow!"

Solas, who personally came to command Thoradin's Wall, yelled loudly, and arrows rained down on the Warsong orcs below.

At the same time, the heavy infantry ambushing at Northford Farm merged with the highland cavalry, encircling the back of the Warsong orcs.

Although Grom likes to think with his muscles instead of his brain most of the time, he is not completely ignorant of soldiers after many years of fighting.

The current desperation made the hairs on his body stand on end. There was an extremely strong city wall blocking the road in front of him, and an army of humans waiting to work slowly advanced behind him. Even as strong as Grom, he felt the approach of death.
