Looking at the alliance army swarming out of the castle, the expression on Orgrim's face gradually became solemn.

Looking at the situation on this battlefield, perhaps he is about to suffer his first defeat since taking power over the tribe......

"What about the red dragon of Zuluhid?" Orgrim asked in a loud voice, "Why haven't they joined the fray yet?" ”

The adjutants next to him glanced at each other, not knowing how to answer...... They all knew that the Hammer of Doom regarded the Red Dragons as a killer weapon, and this battle of Fort Torrent was supposed to be the moment for him to throw out his killer weapon.

"Looks like something went wrong on the way!" Itreg walked over and explained, "I just got the word that they'll be arriving in ten minutes. ”

Orgrim nodded, then shook his head again, "Let them not have to go to war, return to Grimbaatar first." ”

"Great Chief......" Several adjutants hurriedly surrounded him.

"Even if the red dragons participate in the war now, they can only turn the tide of the battle at most, and they can't completely teach these humans an unforgettable lesson!" Orgrim said calmly, without any angry look on his face: "The first time these enemies in the air are the most helpless for these humans, we must grasp this!" ”

"I'm going to inform Zaira and them......" Itreg nodded.

"Hmm!" Orgrim's expression turned to the scorching battlefield in front of him again: "Let the warriors of the tribe retreat first, let's retreat to the Valley of Refuge, and leave this castle on the high mountain to these humans!" ”

"Understood!"

……

With the defeat at Fort Riptide, the morale of the tribe was slightly affected.

Since the capture of Stormwind, the Horde's war has been almost a successive, and it is difficult for dwarves, gnomes, or humans to even resist the Horde for a few days......

Now, though, the myth of "undefeated" has been shattered.

Many of the chiefs of the tribe had some opinions about Orgrim's final retreat order...... For example, the Gromash of the Warsong Clan believed that if they were not retreating but almost attacking, it would not be difficult to capture the human fortress known as "Riptide Fortress".

Orgrim didn't explain anything else, either, because he seemed to have something else going on.

……

In the forests on the edge of the Arathi Highlands, the orcs encounter a strange creature.

Forest Trolls!

These trolls are taller and more agile than orcs, making them very dangerous in some places, especially in the forest; Because their skin is green, like the color of the surrounding trees, they can easily hide in the woods......

Kilrog's vanguard scouts have had some conflicts with these trolls...... There were even some casualties, but the conflict did not last long.

Because soon, they discover that the trolls have the same enemies as them: the humans!

In this case, reconciliation is a simple matter...... With the help of the forest trolls, Kilrog quickly swept away the few remaining human villages around him, and formed a good relationship with the leader of the self-proclaimed "Dakara" troll.

Dakara tells Kilrog that they are just an offshoot of the forest trolls...... Amani is a troll, and their leader is the great "Zurkin"!

With the two commanders in charge, Orgrim was invited by the "Zurkin" to meet with each other.

……

"I am Orgrim - the hammer of destruction, leader of the tribe!" Doomhammer looked at the leader of the forest trolls in front of him and said in a loud voice.

"I've heard your name, Hammer of Doom, I'm Zulkin!" Zurgin's muscles were strong, tall and thin, not clumsy at all, and he had a cunning expression on his face, but he had only one eye and the other blind.

"I don't know what you're doing, King Amani?" Ogrim's voice was calm.

"Are you enemies of humanity?" Zurkin asked in a low voice.

"Yes...... Never die......" Orgrim nodded.

"But my scouts tell me that your army seems to be in trouble at the front!" A strange smile appeared on the corner of the green-skinned troll's mouth.

"Of course!" Orgrim didn't deny it, in fact it was hard to see the slightest emotion on Zurkin's face: "Are you mocking me for this?" Zurgin? ”

"No, Hammer of Doom!" Zulkin shook his head: "I'm just here to give you advice...... Because I know a path that will allow you to cross our forests. After passing through the territory of a few dwarves, we will arrive in the hinterland of those human kingdoms......"

Orgrimmar's expression quickly became solemn, and he quickly took out a map from his pocket that he had captured from humans a long time ago and spread it on the ground.

"Here!" Zulkin's slender finger pointed to the location of Eastern Lordaeron: "From this plain to the city of Lordaeron, the most important city of mankind, there is no dangerous terrain along the way, nor any human fortress, not even many garrisons......"

"Nice plan!" Orgrim mused, "But, what are your conditions? ”

A hint of hatred flashed in the corner of Zurgin's eyes: "Humans are the enemies of our Amani trolls, but there is an even more hateful enemy, those elves...... If your army of sworn armies follow us through the forest to destroy the elven realm, Amani Trolls will swear allegiance to the Horde as well! ”

"Quel'Salas!" Orgrim saw the elven kingdom in the far north of the map.

He had also encountered elves in those human armies before; It's not a lot, but it's very difficult......

"What is the strength of this elven kingdom?" Orgrim continued.

"Are you scared?" Zurkin stared into Orgrim's eyes.

And a hint of anger flashed in the corner of Orgrim's eyes: "The tribe is never afraid, but I must know the current situation of the enemy!" ”

"Very good......" a strange smile appeared on the corner of Zurgin's mouth, "They used to be powerful...... But after thousands of years of peace, they have long since become a foreign power...... If your army can follow me and launch a surprise attack on those elven towns, I guarantee they will be vulnerable. ”

Now it was Orgrim's turn to stare into Zulkin's eyes, pondering the truth of his words......

"I agree!" After a long time, he spoke: "But there is one condition......

"On what terms?" Zurkin frowned.

"Join the Horde!" Orgrim shouted, "Let your forest trolls become part of the tribe." ”

Zurkin blinked and lowered his head: "I agree...... And we're honored too! ”
