"Die, dog offal!" With a roar of rage, Danas's two-handed sword slashed at the orc vanguard who had rushed into the city gate first. The sharp blade sliced through the orc's shoulder armor without hindrance, and a green arm fell to the ground, and a nail-headed warhammer was held in the thick claws.

Blood splattered from the orc's shoulder, but the prince marshal couldn't even wipe off the red liquid that obscured his vision. The infantry on the left and right of Danas raised their shields to protect their commanders as they stabbed their one-handed swords into the stomach of the orc striker who was still holding on to the reluctance to fall.

There was a thudding thud, and as the leading orc striker was crushed and collapsed to the ground, dozens of orcs screamed and rushed into the city gate, colliding with the human sword and shield infantry in the first row. "Hold on! Don't back down! The glory of Stormgard is with us! Danas shouted to his men as he picked up his two-handed sword and beheaded another orc.

From the first day the orcs came to the world of Azeroth...... Humanity is fighting these green-skinned monsters in the Cursed Lands. It is true that human warriors are on the weak side in the face of these invaders, and one orc warrior can fight three human warriors in a row without defeat. ,…,

But this does not mean that humanity is in a weak state in this war, in fact, if it were not for the frequent accidents, first the betrayal of Medivan, and then the assassination of King Ryan Ureon, the Stormwind army would have defeated these green-skinned monsters under the leadership of Anduin Lothar.

Maybe it's because of inadequate preparation, maybe it's because of internal contradictions; In short, in the course of their battle with the orcs, the Stormwind army found that as long as they formed a phalanx and maintained a tenacious and unyielding fighting spirit at all times, the orcs were no match for humans in large-scale engagements.

This valuable experience gained at the cost of the fall of Stormwind was the reason why Danas dared to arrange such a hand-to-hand tactic. The gates of the Dammod Fortress are indeed wide enough. But dozens of people side by side were too crowded to move. As long as the human phalanx in the cave of the city gate insists on not retreating, the orcs can squeeze in at most a few dozen warriors at a time.

Similarly, when fighting orcs, the weapons of human soldiers are mainly swords and shields, which is also a strategic policy proposed by Anduin Lothar. In addition to being physically strong, the orcs also run faster than humans, making it difficult to defend against the human phalanx. Therefore, in addition to protecting the bodies of human soldiers with a half-sized giant shield, the arc-shaped shield can effectively cushion the impact of the orcs' bodies, not to mention the stainless steel shield on the shield surface, which can effortlessly pierce the orcs' slightly soft iron armor. ,…,

Of course, good equipment, tenacious fighting spirit, and well-trained queues can't completely eliminate the physical gap between humans and orcs. The so-called advantages. In fact, it was more like a close match - in the war with the orcs, Danas was already very satisfied to achieve a one-to-one battle loss ratio.

"Shhh...... Yes! Danas howled, and before he could pull his two-handed greatsword out of the shoulder blades of one of the orc vanguards, a strong orc vanguard, leaping high from the gates of the city, with a few notched battle axes in his hands, slashed at Danas fiercely.

The Riptide Fort militia on Danas's right was quick and jerked his prince inward, which saved Danas from his brain-bursting. Still, the tomahawk scraped at his chest, and the standard plate armor was cut open, leaving a wound in the prince's marshal.

However, the orc vanguard missed the opportunity to take the head of the human commander, and several Riptide Burgers, enraged by their own prince's injury, roared and stabbed their blades into the orc vanguard's body, stabbing several holes in its chest and abdomen. Afterwards, these brave warriors escorted Danas to the courtyard of the city, and the gap they left was filled by their long-waiting companions. …,

,…,

Danas was helped to the middle of the courtyard by several of his men, and with the support of the two militiamen of Fort Riptide, Danas pressed his wounds, but his eyes were focused on the battle at the city gates. It wasn't until he relaxed now that Danas felt the tiredness of his body, and his two-handed greatsword had been lost to the orc he had finally slain.

At the gate of the city, with Danas down the city, only half of the Thousand Whitewater Militia of the first wave of the battle was left. From Danas's vantage point, he couldn't see the battle in the cave of the city gate, but he was the one who had just crawled out of the meat grinder...... The sight of flesh and blood, stumps and severed arms was still deeply imprinted in his mind.

At this end of the courtyard of the city gate hole, the thousand-man team that had already broken out half of it, and the remaining militiamen were still standing at the back of the team with their heads held high, waiting for the comrades in the front row to fall, and they were filling in the deep alley hole that could be described as a meat grinder. The commander of the two thousand-man detachment, who had been sent by Ricks to line up in the courtyard, saw Danas retreating from the front line, and at this time also ran to him and asked the prince marshal how to arrange the next battle.

Danas groaned for a moment, not pretentiously saying anything like "minor injuries are not in the line of fire". The reason why he was in the front row before. Just to vent the hatred for those orcs in my heart and boost morale. A warrior like him, who is accustomed to using two-handed swords, cannot exert his full strength in such a battle formation. ,…,

"You stand by here, and I'll go to the city." Danas gave his own order, and then, with the support of several of his subordinates, walked towards a gondola, a facility capable of vertical take-off and landing, in addition to widening the channels for the movement of troops between the head and bottom of the city, also played an important role. It's about transporting the wounded.

At the head of the Dammod Fortress, the archers still insisted on pouring arrows at the orcs crowded at the gates, but the frequency and strength of the bows were much weaker than before. There are many archers who even have their fingers cut by the bowstring because they draw their bows too often, and they can only retreat to the back for simple treatment.

Arthas was not idle, and with the help of Winlesa, he organized the archers whose fingers were cut and bleeding to line up in front of him and Mograine to be treated by the Light. Although Mograini was amazed that His Royal Highness Prince Arthas was able to use the Holy Light, with his personality and current form, the paladin did not think much about it, and just seriously treated the wounds on the hands of those archers.
