Chapter 53: The Sea Route

If the Great Chief of the Tribe, the goblins would not have escaped the fate of being enslaved by the Horde, but luckily they met the new High Chief, Orgrim.

Orgrim treats the dwarf goblins as equals, believing that these small green-skinned men can help the orcs.

As for the reward, the tribe had previously grabbed a lot of gold from Stormwind, and Orgrim only needed to take out a portion of it to make the goblins work hard for the tribe with all their might.

Orgrim didn't care about the gold, in his eyes it was worthless, as long as the army of the orc tribe could land on the Lordaeron subcontinent, even if all the gold was handed over to the goblins, he wouldn't feel sorry at all.

Orgrim had no intention of fighting a naval battle with humans at sea, and his requirements for ships were simple, as long as they could fit the soldiers of the Horde's army, and the faster they could be built, the better, because he didn't want to waste his time waiting for ships to be shipped.

Stimulated by the gold, the goblins were soon in working order, and they began to build large troop carriers according to Orgrim's needs.

Under Orgrim's command, a large amount of ore and oil from the dwarven territory was extracted and transported from Danmoro to this port.

In addition, in order to speed up the construction of ships, Orgrim also asked the able-bodied ogres to give hands to the goblins.

The level of technology of goblins is indeed very high, and only the gnomes in the whole of Azeroth can compete with them in this field.

It's just that the safety of the products made by goblins is slightly ...... Belch......

Although they occasionally explode out of control, this is perfectly normal for goblins.

One of the goblins once said, "I advise you not to get so close to that boiler, because it hasn't exploded today." ”

With the help of the goblins, the orc tribe soon had enough ships to transport their troops.

Pleased with the speed and number of ships the goblins built, Orgrim paid the agreed amount and rewarded the goblins with more gold.

The goblins were also delighted, so they generously offered an additional service: Ogrim was provided with detailed charts.

Of course, the shrewd goblins only provided a nautical chart of the sea route from the wetlands to the Hillsbrad Hills.

However, it was also enough for Orgrim's horde army.

When everything was ready, hundreds of troop carriers left the harbor of the wetlands and began to sail north to the Lordaeron subcontinent with countless orc warriors on board.

……

When Varian received news from MI7 agents again, Aurelia's rangers who were inquiring about the Horde returned to camp.

This time, the news they brought back was the same, that is, the orc tribe had built a ship, and they had begun to prepare to board the ship and go north.

After reading this information, Lothar hurriedly summoned the kings of various countries to discuss the alliance's next battle plan.

In the commander's tent, located in the center of the barracks, several important figures of the alliance gathered here.

"So the fleet of the orc tribe should have departed from the port of the wetlands by now?" King Terenus asked solemnly, staring at the intelligence scroll that Varian handed him.

Lothar nodded and said, "Yes, guys, we have to prepare in advance, I think it won't be long before they cross the sea to get here." ”

"Looks like they've chosen to march by sea...... Solas breathed a sigh of relief, which at least means that the Horde's army won't storm the Saldo Bridge.

After receiving the news that the tribe was marching in the southwest direction of the wetland, Lothar and the others judged that the orc tribe should choose to take the sea route, and now this judgment has finally been confirmed.

And Solas was the most likely of these people to have the orcs go by sea, because if the orcs really marched by land, their kingdom of Stormgard would be the first to face the orc army.

Solas can't be blamed for being selfish, after all, no one wants war to happen in their own country.

Although Solas has a lot of confidence in his kingdom army, his confidence will inevitably be greatly reduced by the thought that the once equally powerful kingdom of Azeroth has been destroyed at the hands of the orc tribe.

Moreover, the current army stationed on the Saldo Bridge is only nearly half of the strength of the Kingdom Army in Stormgard, although it seems to be a lot, but it is still a lot different from the entire army of the tribe, even if it occupies the geographical advantage of the Saldo Bridge, it may not be able to stop the footsteps of the orc tribe.

And if the orcs take the sea route, they will face the army group of the Lordaeron Alliance, which is enough to compete with the army of the orc tribe.

"By sea...... Admiral Prodmore, has your fleet found anything? Varian, who was on Solas' side, asked, looking at Admiral Dalin.

Dai Lin shook his head and said, "I have entrusted the task of long-range reconnaissance at sea to the fleet of the High Elves, after all, their ships are lighter and faster. They haven't returned yet, but they should be back soon. ”

The High Elves' fleet is now part of the Alliance's navy, and they are temporarily under the leadership of Admiral Dai Lin.

"From what I've heard, it doesn't seem like there are many seafaring professionals among the orcs, and even their ships are built with the help of the goblins. I think that if our navy intercepts them at sea, it should cause them a lot of trouble. ”

Lothar listened to Varian's suggestion, nodded and said to Dai Lin: "General, please keep your fleet on standby, as soon as we receive the news of the tribal fleet, we will attack immediately, we will try to leave as many orcs as possible in the sea." ”

Varian added, "It's also important to find out exactly where the orcs will land as soon as possible so that we can respond early." ”

"Yes, that's really important." Jean agreed with Varian's words, and the question did concern him a lot.

Although the coastline of the Kingdom of Gilneth is full of biting reefs, what if the orcs don't know the situation and have to land from there? Even if most of the ships run aground, what if they slip through the net?

It's certainly good for the league, but it's not so good for Gilnis.

Dai Lin patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, I will find the orc fleet in time and confirm their landing location." ”
