Orgrim knew very well that the orcs were already at a huge disadvantage.
From the very beginning, a few orcs were able to massacre a village, and a human army of ten thousand people could not withstand a charge from a second-rate orc clan, to the stalemate during the attack on Stormwind City, to the emergence of human crossbows, and then
It's the gryphon bombing flow and the mortar flow.
The alliance composed of humans, dwarves and elves came up with new things almost every now and then, beating the orcs until they couldn't take care of themselves.
After the Warsong branch was crippled in Silverpine Forest and the main force of the orcs was stuck in Quel'Thalas, Orgrim knew very well that it would be great to be able to maintain the territory of the southern continent, especially in Gul'dan.
After the traitors fled, the Dark Portal lost its host, and the orcs also lost the means to continue to receive reinforcements from their homeland.
Seeing Derek earnestly proposing to block the coastline, Orgrim braced himself: "Your proposal is good, but how are we going to defend it?"
Derek had a headache for a while: "The most standard approach is, of course, to build large-scale coastal defenses in deep-water harbors where large ships may be berthed, and to place large-caliber artillery in bunkers on the seaside..."
As the most knowledgeable among the orcs, Orgrim said: "We orcs don't have so many artillery to form a coastal defense fort or something. Maybe we can ask the Dark Iron dwarves to do it, but it can't be done in the short term. I heard that we can do it as a human
The cannons will take months.”
Derek was embarrassed, he was not a playboy who didn't understand anything.
"To make a cannon, you first need a steel mill, and then you need an arms factory with a full set of equipment... If the Dark Iron dwarves start from scratch, they have to make clay molds from scratch, and slowly adjust them. It may take half a year, and then start from scratch.
Transfer over from Darkhearth City..."
Upon hearing this, Orgrim's brown-red face almost turned green like his compatriots.
"That's in the future. Is there any way to make up for it?"
"You can look for city defense cannons in the ruins of Stromgarde and move them to the wetlands. Then do the same thing in the ruins of Stormwind City, and then move them to the Western Wilds area..."
"Next question, on such a long coastline, how many cannons do you plan to place and where?"
Derek's head was blown. The two small areas on the map actually had more than 100 kilometers of coastline. If he really followed his layout, it wouldn't be possible without thousands of cannons.
He sighed: "Okay, War Chief, I take back my coastal defense artillery plan. The only good thing here is that there are no deep-water harbors in these two areas that can park large ships? If the Alliance wants to land successfully? It can only be done by me.
Stop the ship in Stormwind City under the control of the Party. Or in other areas, with extremely poor efficiency, use small sampans with no more than 10 people to go back and forth between the ship and the coast, and slowly land."
Orgrim still appreciates Derek's knowledge? At least this plan is feasible: "After we get ashore, I will send more troops to these two areas. By the way? When can we get to the Swamp of Sorrows."
Derek had a headache again: "We have to wait until the wind blows..."
The main force of the Blackstone clan in Orgrim? has been crawling on the sea for more than a month.
The people of Kul Tiran are unwilling to sail to the east of the Eastern Kingdom continent. This is of course for a reason. There is no wind here.
Nowadays, sailing boats dominate the world. No wind or low wind speed is a very serious matter.
If it's windy? Even if it's a headwind? You can rely on the spinnaker and take an S-shaped route on the sea to maintain the basic speed.
That level 1 or 2 breeze or headwind is very torturous.
Is this why McDonald's has returned to the army, and the main force of Orgrim is still drifting at sea? The worst thing is that many Blackstone orcs can't stand the torture of taking a boat? They suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, and the sanitary conditions are rapidly deteriorating.
Fortunately, most of the sailors are already immortal? Otherwise it would be worse.
Orgrim sighed and waved his hand helplessly: "Let's wait until we get ashore."
Three days later? Thoradin's Wall? After seeing the glittering [Holy Grail Battle Flag] appear on this day? Grom felt a pain in his balls.
That demon army is here again.
If it were other troops, Grom would have counterattacked no matter what, but the battle flag of the Silver Hand made him extinguish this small thought.
"Have you not been able to contact the warchief yet?" Grom asked the orc beside him.
"No! Will the Great Chief..." The other orcs murmured in their hearts.
The huge [Blood Roar] hit the ground, and the shocking sound silenced the entire audience.
"Idiot! If the Alliance really kills the warchief, we will see his head! If we don't see it, then it's okay! We have an obligation to defend this front for the orcs. However, there are only a few peons left on the guard tower.
Bar."
I have been abused so much that I have been left with a psychological shadow.
As expected, soon after the strange sound of "bang bang bang" was heard in the distance, a large number of mortar shells fell on the top of Thoradin's Wall.
In order to facilitate defense, Grom once asked the hard workers to build two rows of arrow towers at the top of the city. Amidst the terrible explosions, these arrow towers, which took a lot of time to build, did not play their due role and easily turned into pieces.
The huge torch exploded, and the wood chips exploded all over the sky.
However, the orc defenders were unharmed.
Thoradin's Wall is not a completely solid wall. After 2800 years of expansion by the Arathi Highlanders, the inside of the wall also has a structure similar to a hidden soldier cave.
That time, Lothar did not expect the appearance of a buggy creature like the red dragon. Most of the main forces were deployed at the top of the city, which led to the tragedy of destroying the city in one day.
Now that we know that humans have ferocious long-range firepower, Grom's arrangement is very stupid. Unless a large number of humans attack the city, the main force of the orcs in the hiding cave will never come out.
When it comes to close range melee combat, the orcs are really not afraid of anyone.
This cautious approach made the human mortars unable to gain much.
I originally thought that the human artillery would stop soon and the infantry would come up.
Grom was stunned and didn't wait.
On the human side, hundreds of mortars were deployed in four shifts, one every two hours. The number of shells was not large, but they continued continuously without stopping for a moment.
The orcs are frustrated!
It's like the cooking squad in an artillery company, wearing green helmets and watching others fire!
For several days, the war between the Alliance and the orcs seemed to be at a stalemate as the humans refused to send infantry to attack the city.
Being frustrated is one thing, but Grom is generally satisfied with the situation.
"Just hold on until the chief comes back!"
He didn't know that that night, in the wetlands hundreds of kilometers to the south, huge warships silently approached the deep-water harbor where Menethil Port was planned to be built.
Alleria shouted: "Brothers and sisters! It's time for us to prove our worth!"
"yes--"
The boats were lowered one by one, and the ranger troops headed by the three Windrunner sisters were full of energy and headed towards the extremely clear outline of the shore in [Dark Vision].
