Chapter 59: The Battle of Black Rock Mountain (Part 2)
After crossing the hills, Orgrim found that he was not as happy as he had imagined.
Everything went so smoothly that it was almost unreal. And Orgrim discovered that after crossing the nameless hills, he still didn't seem to have escaped from the encirclement!
The tribe still encountered many enemies during the march, but they were only some stragglers, ranging from dozens to hundreds.
These enemies were almost defeated at the first touch, and they did not engage in much entanglement. They only harassed them from a distance with bows and arrows or muskets on the flanks. Almost every time they harassed them, a part of the orc army would be allocated to pursue them.
There was really nothing Orgrim could do to stop some soldiers from leaving the team without permission. Such annoying harassment would anger the bloodthirsty orcs the most. Even the warchief could not stop the orcs from tearing the enemy apart.
Although such continuous harassment could not cause harm to the troops, it could completely weaken the orcs' fighting will. Orgrim finally realized at this time that he might have fallen into the alliance's trap, and he was afraid that there would be more in the front.
There are more enemies waiting for you.
This feeling of being calculated made Orgrim extremely aggrieved. He really wanted to find a place where no one was around and yell wildly. But he knew very well that he couldn't. If even he, the great chief, collapsed,
, the orcs following him will all die on this gray-black scorched earth.
Thinking of this, Orgrim couldn't help but feel guilty for the people behind him. Most of the orcs had not yet realized that they had fallen into the alliance's trap, and they were still looking forward to the land of Redridge Mountain.
'Okay! I want to see what kind of enemies are waiting for me ahead. Even if I die, I have to keep some of the orcs to successfully break through! Even if there are only a few orcs who can start a new life, I won't count.
Completely lost!'
After thinking through all this, Orgrim became calm and chose to die calmly, as long as he could leave a little fire for the orcs.
…
"Commander-in-Chief, the orcs have accelerated their march and completely ignored the flanking attacks..."
Having said this, the scout who reported to Turalyon calculated the time.
"It is expected that in another hour, they will arrive at the Coke Canyon and make contact with Marshal Lothar."
"The orcs have probably seen through our intentions. The whole army must speed up immediately, and the two wings must complete the outflank as soon as possible! The marshal only has more than 2,000 troops. Every time we are slower, the marshal will be more dangerous!"
Coke Canyon is the long canyon that enters the Burning Plains from the Redridge Mountains. Later, it was named Blackstone Canyon by the remnant of the Blacktooth Laughing Clan who lived here. But now, it is only Coke Canyon named after the landform.
Because of the long and narrow terrain here, even if more troops were invested, the width of the battlefield could not be increased, so Lothar only brought 2,000 people from the Iron Horse Brotherhood and more than 200 people from Li De.
However, the scouts still underestimated the orcs' marching speed. Orgrim drew a beautiful vision for the orcs, using the land of Redridge Mountain to inspire the orcs to march quickly.
It only took half an hour for four thousand orcs to enter the Coke Canyon. As long as they passed through this canyon, they could reach Redridge Mountain!
Compared with the excitement of other orcs, Orgrim's heart became tense. He had already guessed that the orcs would encounter the fiercest resistance here.
Sure enough, just three hundred meters into the canyon, the orcs saw the Alliance army in front. Flying high in the center of the army was the Alliance's "seven-star dl flag". What surprised them even more was that next to the Alliance flag
There is also a slightly shorter flagpole, and hanging on it is the lion flag symbolizing the Kingdom of Stormwind!
Commander Lothar stood at the front of the team, shouting loudly.
"Orgrim! I have been waiting here for a long time! Did you see that flag?! I will not let any orc's feet set foot on the land of Stormwind Kingdom again!"
The territory of the Kingdom of Stormwind includes Elwynn Forest, Westfall, Sunshine Forest and Redridge Mountains. At this time, Lothar is leading almost all soldiers of the Kingdom of Stormwind. The flag flying above their heads is also the flag of the Kingdom of Stormwind. Lothar's
This sentence is like throwing a spark into an oil barrel, instantly igniting everyone's will to fight!
Even the trolls under Li De were infected by this high fighting spirit, shouting wildly and making provocative moves towards the orcs opposite.
"Lotha!!!"
Orgrim roared angrily, but felt a little relieved in his heart. Sure enough, it was this old rival who accompanied him to the last stop.
"The land is ahead, kill them!"
There was no redundant nonsense. Orgrim waved the hammer of destruction and rushed to the front. The orcs were moved by the benefits and followed closely.
The two sides launched the final decisive battle in this long and narrow valley.
Lothar's student, Gavin Rad, who was also one of the original five paladins, led several of his students to charge forward and bravely faced the orc army.
As the Second Orc War progressed, the first five Paladins also began to share the Way of the Holy Light with other warriors. Now there are nearly twenty Paladins in the entire alliance army. Following Gavin Rad
Next to him were several paladins he had trained.
The two sides met on a narrow road, with no one to retreat and no room to dodge. The battle was surprisingly fierce. Orgrim discovered that his own troops were superior and fought harder, trying to break through the bottom of the bag.
"Anggagagu, you lead the hunter troops to climb up the rock walls on both sides and provide us with cover!"
Although the number of troops was small, Li De was definitely not here to make a fool of himself. After giving the order for special units to cover, Li De put on his helmet and led his centurion into the battlefield.
The flagellant's energy storm was raging, and almost every slash could take away the life of an orc. A gap was quickly cleared among the orcs, and hundreds of elite soldiers followed closely behind, waving their long knives to form a circle.
Array.
Everyone moved in unison, like a monster covered in sharp teeth, rolling back and forth in the middle of the battlefield, which also caused more orcs to focus on Li De and the others.
Lothar was surprised by the combat effectiveness of Li De's team, but he also realized that Li De was in danger as he penetrated deep into the enemy's army, so Lothar did not hesitate to lead his troops to assist Li De!
The battle in the valley became increasingly fierce, and many orcs who remained outside the valley also poured into the valley one after another, adding new lives to this flesh and blood mill.
This high-intensity battle lasted for more than half an hour, and neither side knew how many casualties there were.
At this moment, Turalyon finally arrived with the main force, and he immediately ordered both sides to complete the outflanking. The orcs surrounded outside the valley suddenly panicked, but at the same time launched a crazy counterattack.
"Don't rush to annihilate the enemy. Order both sides to attack the entrance of the valley with all their strength and interrupt the connection between the outside and inside of the valley!"
Turalyon knew that Lothar would be in danger if the orcs were allowed to continue to add troops to the valley. So after completing the encirclement, the first thing he did was to cut off the orc troops.
Leave the two thousand orcs behind outside the valley and eat them one by one. At the same time, send additional troops into the valley to attack the orcs in the valley from both front and rear.
"Great Chief! Enemies have appeared in our rear! The troops outside the valley are also surrounded!"
Orgrim, who was fighting, was stunned when he heard the report from his subordinates. He wiped the blood from his face and looked at the decreasing number of soldiers in the valley. How could he not know that the situation was over?
He fought with all his strength regardless, but he was still 200 meters away from breaking through the alliance's position. But this short 200 meters became the gap between life and death!
No matter what, he couldn't break through, and there were less than thirty people who could follow him to break through. It seemed that even if only a small number of orcs completed the breakout, this goal would not be achieved.
Orgrim was in a desperate situation, with a fierce look on his face. Even if he died, he would take away the alliance's commander-in-chief!
Orgrim immediately turned around and fought towards the center of the battlefield, where Lothar was fighting the orcs like the most ordinary soldier, waving his sword.
"Lotha!!! Come on! Don't be a coward!!!"
Orgrim's shouts covered up all the shouts of killing, and his invitation to Lothar could be heard almost in the entire battlefield. The soldiers along the way also subconsciously moved out of the way. It seemed that this decisive battle would
It will end with a duel between the commanders of both sides.
The Orc Warchief is like a cannonball, and the Doomhammer flashes with violent elemental power. Since the tribe abandoned the shaman tradition, the elements also abandoned the orcs. This weapon full of elemental magic has never received the power of the elements.
Response. But at this moment, under Orgrim's sacrifice of life and death, the elements seem to have returned.
Lothar also roared, and the anger that filled his body caused a vague blood-red halo to appear around Lothar, and in this halo, there was a trace of golden light! Lothar is a warrior, he has never
He has never studied the Holy Light, but at this moment, his bravery and justice also gained the favor of the Holy Light.
"Qiang!!!"
The long sword collided with the warhammer. In just one round, the Alliance soldiers were heartbroken: they could clearly feel that Lothar was at a disadvantage. Medivh's magic still caused irreparable damage to Lothar. Faced with the same
The powerful heroic warrior Orgrim and Lothar were frightened.
At the same time, Li De was the only one on the battlefield who felt confused. He chopped down two orc soldiers who were entangled with him and roared angrily.
"What are you looking at? Centuries, follow me, protect the marshal, and capture Orgrim alive!!!"
The first military rule of the Centurion is to obey the command, and they followed Li De's footsteps and rushed forward without hesitation.
This kind of interference in the duel confused everyone. After losing the first round and taking a few steps back, Lothar wanted to charge forward again but was stopped by Li De!
"Orgrim, using legendary weapons to bully standard equipment, can you give me some face?"
While he was yelling angrily, the whipper, who was as wide as a door panel, smashed down.
Caught off guard, Orgrim held the hammer with one hand and withstood the heavy blow. He was stunned by the power of the dragon. After struggling to get rid of the breath, he cursed angrily.
"Who are you, a despicable fellow?! Interfering with a warrior's duel is an insult to me! Do you have the honor of being a warrior?!"
Why does Li De care about this? If he hadn't caught this guy's shadow in the previous melee, he would have wanted to capture the thief first.
Orgrim can be said to be the most powerful opponent Li De has encountered so far. He can withstand the power of the dragon even with one hand. If he fights alone, Li De will probably not be able to defeat the opponent.
But the question is, can Li De fight him alone? Hundreds of troops surrounded him, and in an instant, the swords were filled with light, as if they had smashed a silver basin.
If it weren't for Orgrim, anyone else would probably be chopped into pieces.
Orgrim, who was surrounded in the middle, struggled to survive. Lothar, who was blocked from the battle circle, was hesitant at first because the duel was interrupted. But looking at Orgrim's appearance, he finally sighed.
Decided to give this old rival a decent ending.
"Lotha! Are you going to be a despicable person too?!"
Seeing Lothar also participating in the siege, Orgrim became even more angry. Lothar was speechless, and this behavior really made him feel ashamed. He could only bite the bullet and make the sword sharper.
In the end, Lothar scratched Orgrim's arm with his sword. Li De saw the opportunity and knocked away the war hammer with his sword.
Orgrim, who had lost his weapon, closed his eyes, unwilling to suffer such a humiliating death. However, Lothar immediately put the sword on the side of his neck and shouted at the same time.
"He has been captured, please stop!"
Although the Centurions only obeyed Li De's orders, they had also been under Lothar's command. They really hesitated this time. They placed the long knife on Orgrim's head and looked at Li De hesitantly, not knowing whether to cut it down.
.
"Everyone, stop it."
Li De waved his hand, and then looked around. The orcs in the valley had also given up resistance. It turned out that Turalyon personally led the team to support. Under the general trend, the orcs had no choice but to surrender and accept the tragic fact of defeat.
When Orgrim was tied up, he couldn't help cursing Lothar and Lid for being despicable people who had lost their honor as warriors.
When he was guarding Kilrogg before, that guy had the same behavior. At that time, Li De ignored Kilrogg, but now he couldn't help it anymore.
He walked up to Orgrim and said with disdain that he wished he could eat his own fierce glare.
"You seem to have forgotten your identity. You are an invader and a war criminal. You are not qualified to talk about honor. At least you are still alive and have the strength to shout. But King Ryan, those comrades, and the countless people of Stormwind Kingdom, I
Their voices will never be heard again."
Orgrim was speechless by these words, and finally stopped talking. He just let the soldiers push him away with a cold face.
The decisive battle with the orcs finally resulted in a complete victory, but when the casualties were counted, no one was happy. The Iron Horse Brotherhood lost more than 800 people, and Li De's Hundreds suffered 30 casualties!
Li De sadly asked Madin Lei if these brothers who had died had any family members. If they still had family members alive, they should do their best to find them and receive the best care from the Hanhai Protector.
Lothar watched all this silently. After a long time, he walked to Li De and sighed.
"You handled it the right way."
As for whether Li De was referring to the family members of the sacrificed soldiers or his previous interference in the duel, only Lothar himself knew.
But Li De did not continue what Lothar said. He suddenly said something, which caught Lothar off guard.
"Marshal, were you planning to let yourself die in this battle?"
