The orc tribe continued to attack Ironforge, but almost every dwarf who retreated to Ironforge took up arms and put up a stubborn resistance, including old men and young children.

In addition, Ironforge Castle has a unique terrain advantage, so the orc army is still helpless against this impregnable mountain city in the end, and can only return in vain.

In addition to attacking the Dwarves' main city, Ironforge, the Orc tribe also waged war against the "Gnomes", another intelligent race living in Danmoro.

The dwarves are a race of dwarves that originated from another Titan creation: the mechanical gnomes.

After Loken betrayed the Guardians, Guardian Azadas and the Giantess Elonnaya led a group of mechanical gnomes and earth spirits to Uldaman in the south, where they kept the Nogannon Disc where all the data was recorded.

Later, both the Earth Spirits and the Mechanical Gnomes were infected with the Elder Gods' Flesh Curse, and the Earth Spirits chose to enter the Eternal Sleep in order to isolate the curse, while the Mechanical Gnomes heroically chose to continue the operation of Uldaman.

Eventually, these cursed-infected mechanical gnomes completely degenerated into flesh creatures, later known as gnomes.

Weakened physically and mentally, these gnomes forgot their mission, so they left Uldaman and began a new life in the snow-capped mountains of Dammoro in the west.

More than 2,000 years ago, when the dwarves who had woken up from their slumber came to Danmoro to dig the mountains, they found these gnomes who had already settled here.

Although the dwarves and gnomes have forgotten their past experiences, they have a natural affinity because they both originated from the Titans and Uldaman.

The dwarves then passed on their knowledge of construction and masonry to the gnomes, and helped them establish their own city west of Danmoro, which would later become Nomorigen.

In return for their help, the gnomes also taught the dwarves about engineering and technology, and an unbreakable alliance was forged between the two races.

When the dwarves were attacked by the orc tribe, they also called for help from the gnomes.

The gnomes soon sent their army to the aid of the dwarves, but they were no match for the orcs either.

After the orc tribe defeated the gnomes, they divided a part of their forces to continue the attack westward, attacking the gnomes' main city, Nomorigen.

But Nomorigan, like the Dwarven main city, Ironforge, was built in the middle of a mountain.

Moreover, the engineering-proficient gnomes also built a large number of war machines, and constantly used explosives and other means of attack to stop the orc army from attacking the city.

Orc's Grand Chieftain Orgrim Doomhammer found it difficult for his forces to defeat the cities of Nomorigen and Ironforge in a short period of time, so he abandoned any plans to continue the siege.

Orgrim sent the Bloodring Clan's chief, Kirrog Deadeye, and his clan to camp in Danmoro to keep an eye on the dwarves in Ironforge and the gnomes of Nomorigan.

At the same time, Orgrim also ordered the Blackstone Clan to start extracting various resources such as oil and ore from Kazmodan, which were used to keep the tribe's army in war.

The orcs who had been replenished with mineral resources replaced their broken weapons and armor, and their combat power was also improved.

According to MI7, the now growing orc army has breached the dwarven town of Dan Ogaz, which connects the wetlands to Lokmodan, and it won't be long before they are ready to continue north.

After reading the information, Varian resealed the scroll and said to Madias, "The content of this information is very important, and it should be seen by Marshal Lothar as soon as possible. Come with me, and we will now go to Marshal Lothar's tent to find him. ”

Varian thought to himself as he walked towards Lothar's tent: "The dwarves and gnomes have been blocked by the orcs, and according to the speed at which the information reaches me, the orcs should be about to completely occupy the wetlands...... So, which route will Orgrim choose? Will he still choose to march from the sea as he did in the original timeline? ”

……

The Tribe's Grand Chief, Orgrim, is now wrestling with the question: Which way should they go next?

If the orc army wants to continue north from land, it has to cross the Saldo Bridge, which connects the wetlands to the Arathi Highlands.

However, Ogrim learned from his spies that the north and south ends of the Saldo Bridge were heavily guarded by dwarves and humans, and it was not easy to attack it.

The Horde army will need to capture the dwarven town of Dammod, at the southern end of the Saldo Bridge, which is guarded by descendants of the descendants of the Anwemar family, the King of the Mountains, and then they will face the elite Stormgard army at the northern end of the bridge.

After Varian and Lothar first met with the kings in Lordaeron, they privately contacted King Solas of Stormgard. This, of course, was something that Varian worked so hard to promote.

Once again, Varian and Lothar solemnly told Solas about the orc tribe, hoping that he would get enough attention.

Because if the orc armies really want to wage war north from land, Stormgard will be the first to be invaded by them.

After returning to Fort Riptide, Solas consulted with his ministers and decided to trust Varian and Lothar, so he decisively transferred nearly half of Stormgard's elite troops to the north side of the Saldo Bridge.

Later, the Lordaeron Alliance was formed, and Solas led the few remaining Kingdom troops to the Lordaeron Alliance camp in the Hillsbrad Hills, after leaving behind enough soldiers to keep Fort Riptide safe. It was to make up for the lack of troops he brought with him that Solas had Danas accompanied by the Fort Riptide militia.

Moreover, as the commander-in-chief of the Alliance, Lothar also attaches great importance to the strategic location of the Saldo Bridge, so the Alliance will continue to increase troops here in the future to prevent the orc army from breaking through here.

With the overland march in the way, Orgrim decided to build troop carriers to transport the Horde's army to Lordaeron by sea.

This decision of his made several clan leaders under his command suspicious, because none of the orcs knew how to fight at sea, and if they were attacked by the human navy at sea, wouldn't the warriors of these tribes die in vain?

Only the patriarch of the Tyranny Clan, Gul'dan, expressed strong support for Orgrim's decision.

In fact, Gul'dan also has his own selfish intentions, he also wants to go to the Broken Islands of the Endless Sea to find the tomb of Sargeras, if there is no ship, how can he go?
