After Fenris returned to Stonard Camp, he received news of Grom's defeat.
When he learned about this, he instinctively didn't believe it, but after getting the details of the battle from the orcs of the Warsong clan, Fenris was speechless. The opponent used a tactic that he had never heard of.
Of course, there was no need for Fenris to imagine Reed's tactics. He soon saw it with his own eyes: Reed would send squadrons to carry out air attacks on Stonard every day.
Since the war, Fenris's mentality has completely changed.
As the most radical hawk at the time, he never looked down upon Azeroth's army, just like he never looked down upon Blackhand and Orgrim.
But after several battles with the Alliance, he already regarded the Alliance as an equal opponent.
"Our new opponent seems to like to use air power... We also need to have our own air power, at least we can't just let others slaughter us."
Fenris reacted very quickly. He did not lose his judgment because of the air raid. Instead, he had the consciousness to catch up and learn from his opponent.
Fenris really had no means of countering the dragon's air attack in a short period of time, and the opponent did not lower its altitude at all to give them a chance to counterattack.
But Fenris still found a way. He chose to abandon Stonard directly and split the armies of the two clans in the military camp into commanders of 500 men, scattered among the dense vegetation of the swamp.
Dozens of small camps were scattered in the Swamp of Sorrows, and the dragon's air raid suddenly lost its target.
Although such a small team dispersed in the swamp would inevitably have conflicts with the indigenous people in the swamp, it was still better than being exposed to attacks from above and being in panic all day long.
"Die! Die! You monsters!"
Grom angrily waved his Gorehowl, splitting a Swamp Walker in half.
"Swamp Rambler" is actually an informal name. After all, the human scholars in the Kingdom Continent have not yet figured out what type of creature this kind of creature with roots wrapped around its body, a huge and fat body, like a walking tree should be classified into.
middle.
Human scholars on the Kingdom Continent don’t know about Swamp Walkers, but the orcs are very familiar with them when they see them.
There are not many green beings with the ability to move in Azeroth. In comparison, there are so many plant predators with the ability to move in the world of the orcs.
Of course, this requires adding "once" as an adjective. After all, after the emergence of the evil power of the warlock, most of the organic green color in the orc world was wiped away.
Although many of the plant predators in the orc world have become extinct, Grom will never forget the shadow these guys brought to him in the Tanaan Jungle when he was young.
Now looking at the swamp walkers with similar life forms, and thinking about this humiliating defeat, Grom could only vent his anger on these swamp creatures with wounds that were not yet healed.
Since the defeat, Grom has spoken a lot less. Fenris has all seen this. Passively avoiding air attacks is not a long-term solution. The orcs must take the initiative to attack.
He was not as impulsive as Grom. He just led a force of warlords and passed through the western part of the swamp very secretly. When passing through the Counterwind Valley, Fenris was also amazed at the harsh environment there.
However, what Grom couldn't do, Fenris couldn't do either. Those two thousand people were finally met with disgrace under the vigil barrier, leaving more than three hundred corpses and retreating miserably.
The Night Watch Barrier is the line of defense built for the First Division under the leadership of Eberlock. The security team in Night Town is called the Night Watch, so in the process of functioning, this line of defense also received the appropriate name of Night Watch Barrier.
name.
In practice, it was confirmed that the Alliance's defense line was indeed impenetrable, and Fenris could only send a messenger to return to the Dark Portal to seek help from Ner'zhul.
In addition to asking Ner'zhul to use powerful magic to destroy the alliance's defense line, there is also the need to urge the orcs' follow-up troops.
After the Horde set out to conquer Azeroth, the orcs still had more than a dozen clans, large and small, left in the original world. Although there were some small clans that together could be as powerful as the Thunder King Clan, it was still not enough to add up to a large number.
The power of neglect.
What Fenris didn't expect was that just as his messenger set out, Ner'zhul's messenger also arrived.
Ner'zhul asked Fenris to return to the Dark Portal, as he had important matters to discuss with him.
This saves you the trouble of paraphrasing, and it is the clearest explanation.
But this time before setting off, Fenris sincerely asked Grom not to be impulsive.
This time Grom rarely listened to Fenris's words. Of course, it would be better to say that Grom's desire for killing and fighting was also satisfied in opening up the living space in the swamp.
"Wow, wow, la, la, la..."
Grom's current targets have changed several times, including swamp walkers, swamp tigers, giant spiders, and crocodiles, and are now targeted at murlocs.
This kind of little guy with a fishy smell all over his body will call out a bunch of friends whenever a fight breaks out.
Grom still likes such excellent qualities, as it saves him from slowly searching for targets one by one.
In fact, Grom was able to suppress his anger so much because Fenris was going to see Ner'zhul. At this time, all the orcs in the Swamp of Sorrows were looking forward to the warchief showing his power again and avenging the orc warriors.
Fenris felt relieved and rode on the warg he regarded as a relative and friend, and embarked on the road back to the cursed land.
The Frostwolf Clan and the Thunder King Clan both have a history of taming giant wolves, but the Frostwolf Clan's skills are more sophisticated.
But if we talk about it now, the Thunder King Clan's level of taming wargs is probably higher than that of the Frostwolf Clan.
After all, as the eldest son of the Fenris Frost Wolf, he brought technology to the Thunder King.
Durotan, who became the orthodox Frostwolf chief, died in Gul'dan's assassination a few years ago. It is said that the Frostwolf clan is living a difficult life now, and it is not clear whether it can still maintain the skills of taming wargs.
Fenris grabbed the thick hair on the warg's neck with both hands and ran wildly on the road. His wolf's name was Fenrir, which was given by Fenris to express his close companionship with the warg.
When he thought of this, Fenris couldn't help but despise the Dragonmaw clan. Even if he didn't say "clan curse" like Grom, he was destined to have nothing good to say.
Even in the most difficult years, no orc from the Frostwolf Clan or the Thunder King Clan would kill and eat their fellow wargs, but it was the people from the Dragonmaw Clan who had no future and dug their own roots.
After entering the Cursed Land, there was a white world for hundreds of miles. The blizzard that determined the alliance's defeat has not yet melted, even though Ner'zhul did not use magic to maintain his existence.
"Fenris, you're here."
Ner'zhul had returned to Tanaan Jungle from Frostfire Ridge, and the two met in the tent of the Orc Tribe Alliance.
"What do you think of the current war?"
Ner'zhul's voice was particularly erratic when he asked questions, making it difficult to hear his emotions and attitude.
"After your spell helped us defeat the main force of the Alliance, our warriors pursued the Alliance commander into the Swamp of Sorrows and once again eliminated the enemy's remnants. Unfortunately, we did not capture the enemy commander, Danath Trollbane."
"Well, the messengers you sent back have already reported. I want to ask you what you think of this war now."
Fenris was analyzing Ner'zhul's attitude in his mind, and kept talking at the same time.
"The new commander of the Alliance has a closer relationship with the red dragon, and he assigned the red dragon to destroy the road to the north.
My point of view is to restore the road and continue the previously planned plan to go north.
But before executing the plan to go north, the military bases established by the new alliance commander in the west must be cleared.
We must not allow it to develop and become a huge threat to us."
Ner'zhul nodded and pondered for a long time before speaking again.
"In other words, our next enemies will mainly come from the west...
I order you to march westward with all your strength, and after destroying the enemies on the western front, complete your plan to capture the human Kingdom of Storm and move north...
