"You all understand, whether the Warsong Clan wants us to help or not, we all have to find a way to benefit from this war, the Warsong Clan basically doesn't have to worry about us, as long as the ogre dies, the more comfortable we will be able to live in the future. ”

The high-level Broken Hand executives present at Izzy told the main purpose of this battle, waiting for the reply of the Warsong Clan, but based on Izzy's impression of the Warsong Clan during this time, Izzy estimated that nine times out of ten they would refuse the help of the Broken Hand Orcs.

"As the saying goes: if a soldier bears, there will be a nest of bears. ”

Izzy could feel some traces of the roar of their leader, Gromash Hell, from the Warsong orcs he came into contact with.

It was a clan chief who was confident enough to act recklessly, but had a strong personality.

The death of Grommash's father, Golmash Hellroar, spread among the orc clans, everyone felt that Golmash's death was strange, and the famous "Giant Butcher" suddenly encountered a giant Golon during an outing, and finally both died together, and the biggest beneficiary of this matter was obviously Grommash.

But despite this, the Warsong Orcs never doubted their new leader, which is probably the best expression of his charisma.

A few hours later, the herald returned to Havalor, and as Izzy had expected, the Warsong Clan had refused the Broken Hand Clan's help, and in fact there had been no movement from the Warsong Clan's side since the last time the messenger came.

Izzy began to wonder if the Warsong Orcs were holding the idea that if the ogre broke the hand orcs, they would take advantage of them and fight themselves.

If that's the case, Izzy really doesn't know what to say, maybe the ogre picked the winter solstice to raid the Broken Hand Orcs, and helped them, even if the Warsong clan noticed it at that time, the elite army of five hundred people could only stare dryly, and the cold weather was not suitable for an expedition.

"The troops continue to assemble and get ready, and we must not let our guard down and keep an eye on the movements of this ogre force. ”

Since the ogre is not looking for trouble with the Broken Hand Clan, and the Warsong Clan doesn't want us to interfere, the Broken Hand Clan will respond to all changes with the same to ensure their own safety, and find a way to benefit from it by the way.

Countless pieces of information began to return to Havalo one after another, and the Warsong Clan, as usual, took advantage of the mobility of the wolf cavalry to fight guerrilla warfare with the ogre's troops, gradually eating away at the ogre's living force.

"Lord Priest, the scouts report that their estimate of the number of ogre armies has been wrong, and the number of soldiers fighting against the Orcs of War Song is only about two thousand seven hundred, and the first three thousand, which they believe is a false alarm.

Izzy's face darkened when he heard this, can this kind of thing be a false alarm?

As for the accuracy of the information, Izzy has emphasized to the scouts countless times that it must be detailed and accurate, otherwise, it may determine the outcome of the battle.

Izzy suddenly felt that something was wrong, no matter how blind the scout he chose, there were three hundred people missing, he should have noticed something, so he turned to the herald and said:

"Find out, if the ogre's troops were three thousand at the beginning, and suddenly there were three hundred, or if it was really a false positive, let the scouts confirm this matter, let them think clearly before reporting, unless they want to try the punishment of lying about the military situation!"

Izzy felt strange in his heart, even if the troops of three hundred people really disappeared, such a small number of people should not be able to do anything big.

A herald ran into the council hall and reported:

"The Ogre's army and the Warsong Clan's troops began to fight, the Warsong Clan gathered two thousand troops, including five hundred wolf cavalry, while the Ogre army remained on the defensive, stalemate with the Warsong Clan in the rocky canyon. ”

Listening to this situation, Izzy thought of the three hundred people who disappeared, the ogre's intentions were too obvious, the frontal feint attack attracted the attention of the large army of the Warsong Clan, and the missing three hundred ogre troops were the real killer feature.

It's clear that there must be something wrong with those 300 people, and although he doesn't understand how those 300 people disappeared and what they can do, the ogre is clearly ready to rely on that team to make some big news.

With this in mind, Izzy summoned the heralds.

"Contact the Warsong Clan and tell them that the ogres have a small army of about three hundred people, and they may want to be in their rear, sabotage, and let them be more careful. ”

"What are we going to do?" Kargas asked Izzy:

"The ogres have unknown means, hiding a small army, I speculate that this small army must be waiting for trouble in the rear of the Warsong Clan, they can't come to Havalo to trouble us, if they want to fight us, they won't provoke the Warsong Orcs in the first place. ”

Izzy pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then spoke:

"We have already reminded the War Song Clan, if they can destroy that small army, the ogre will definitely lose, we will lead the troops to cut off the back road of the ogre, or the location of the last ambush, the ogre can only take two bridges if they want to retreat back to the Hanging Hammer Castle, take the bridge in the lower reaches of the Tiange River Basin, they will be eaten away by the wolf cavalry of the War Song Clan, so they have a great chance of retreating from the bridge under the Tiansong Lake. ”

"There is no need to ambush this time, just block the bridge and don't let the ogres pass, the Warsong clan chasing behind them will give them a taste of power. ”

Izzy's choice is actually very helpless, the Broken Hand Clan has few soldiers, although all of them are well-equipped and excellent warriors who have experienced life and death, but sometimes the battle is the number of people, even if the Broken Hand Orc can fight ten ogres alone, they can't beat twenty or thirty.

After the last battle, the Broken Hand Clan has expanded its army slightly, not counting the high-end combat power of the Broken Hand Clan, they now have four hundred warriors, including fifty wolf cavalry, leaving a hundred people to guard the house, one hundred scouts to continue to investigate intelligence, and it is more than enough to bring two hundred elite soldiers to block the bridge that is not too wide, that kind of terrain is just suitable for an elite army like the Broken Hand Clan.

Leading the troops along the main road, in fact, the two bridges are not far from the rock wall canyon, Izzy stood on the canyon and looked down secretly, the ogre relied on the terrain of the canyon so that they did not have to be attacked on all sides, and the war song orcs had no good way to break through their formation, even if the Broken Hand Clan came, it would not help much, they still began to build fortifications at the bridge where the winter solstice was ambushed according to the original plan.

The battle was stalemate for several days, and the 300-strong ogre force was never found, which made Izzy very uneasy, and he even considered retreating directly to Havaroi City to defend it, abandoning the operation.

It was another herald running frantically, and Izzy felt a chill in his heart.

"Lord Priest, the scouts have sent information that the Warsong Clan has lost!"

Kargas and Izzy. Hearing this, his eyes widened, this was a possibility he had never imagined, the Zhan Song clan was almost inherently invincible, they could fight if they wanted to, and retreat if they wanted to, how could they lose?

Izzy hurriedly opened the report and looked at it carefully, and the intelligence showed that the Warsong Orcs suddenly lost morale, besieged the Ogre's troops for a few days, and suddenly began to evacuate, and the Ogre immediately fought back, and the Warsong Clan returned defeated.

Izzy looked at Kargas and said calmly:

"It must have been the small army that disappeared that caused great damage in the rear of the Warsong Clan, I don't know how they did it, but it can only be explained if something goes wrong in the Warsong Clan's home. ”

Kargas thought for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Then there is no point in us continuing to block the bridge here, the ogres will not retreat at all, we must return to Havalo at once. ”

Izzy nodded, he really didn't think that the Warsong Clan would lose, the ogre would run out of food after being besieged for a few more days, and he sent someone to remind the Warsong Clan.

Originally, Izzy thought that in a few days, the ogres would riot due to hunger, the War Song Clan took advantage of the situation to break through the Ogre's defense line, and the Ogre fled, and the Broken Hand Clan had cut off the last way for the ogre to live, and after the War Song Orcs annihilated the Ogre in one fell swoop, the Broken Hand Clan could develop at will in this grassland.

Two days later, they returned to Havalor, and the ogre didn't care about the Broken Hand Orcs, who were more comfortable killing than the tiny Broken Hand and Warsong, a longtime enemy.

The Warsong clan stabilized the situation, Gromash led the army to make the ogre realize the reality, no one on the steppe could defeat the Warsong wolf cavalry, and the ogre tasted the sweetness and prepared to withdraw the army.

It wasn't until a few days later that Izzy finally learned the whole story, when the ogres created a new class, the Arcane Destroyers, who were not all mages, but still possessed some magical abilities and were able to hide themselves, and they attacked the Warsong Clan's home in the Tara Mountains, Gromashr.

The warriors left behind by the Warsong Clan were almost slaughtered, and only a small number of the old and sick escaped from the camp, and even Gromache's companion, Gokar, died in the attack.

Izzy looked at this information at the time, and his head was full of cold sweat, he had seen this plot in the official history of the game, and it was in the promotional video of the new version at that time, but Izzy didn't expect this to happen to him.

If the plot of the trailer develops, then Gromash is probably captured by the Ogre Overseers by now, just like in the promo, the Ogre Overseers will imprison Gromash, the wind and the sun, starvation, and try to break Grommash's will in this way, and the Gromash will bite the Overseers to death when the Ogre Overseers let their guard down and approach them.

It's a pity that these memories are useless to him now, he doesn't know where Gromash is imprisoned, and naturally he doesn't have to think about saving him, not to mention that the Broken Hand Clan is now unable to protect itself.

The thought of the ogre having a unit about the size of the Broken Hand but with some spell-casting ability kept him awake at night.

"This force is too dangerous!

This army is like a "sword of Damox" hanging over the heads of everyone in the Shattered Hand Clan, and he is determined to find an opportunity to destroy them.

It's a pity that in a short time, Izzy doesn't have any good way, and the people can't come out of the Hanging Hammer Fort now, and no one can do anything with them, so Izzy has to expand the scout force and strengthen the vigilance.

Thankfully, Havalo's fortifications had been built over this time, and Izzy was confident that he would use the fortified walls to defend himself against any attack by the ogre forces.

Izzy suddenly noticed the herald walking slowly at the gate, and thought to himself:

"It seems that the news of the herald is not urgent, and I hope it is good news. ”
