Chapter 242: The Breaking of the City is Tomorrow
Just when Arthas had the idea of not offending the "Psycho Queen" behind her before he was completely sure that the red dragons were raging and slaughtering the orcs in the cottage, the combined forces of humans and dwarves in the fortress of Dammod once again lowered the heavy gate of the fortress.
With a loud "boom", dozens of the vanguard of the War Song Clan were once again locked up in the city. Outside the Dammod Fortress, Grom Hell Roar stood in the ranks of the Warsong Clan, took one last look at the stronghold that was still strong and tall in the moonlight, and ordered, "Warriors of the Warsong Clan, go back to the woods and rest, this is the end of today's battle." ”
After saying that, Grom took the lead and turned around and walked towards the woods in the distance, on his left arm, a scar like a red earthworm was attached to the green skin, the blood roar was still carried by him on his shoulder, and the axe blade that still emitted cold light in the moonlight was faintly a few more notches than before.
The thousands of warriors of the Warsong Clan quickly carried out Grom's order and quickly retreated into the woods; No one has a haunt for their fellow citizens who were locked up in the Dammod Fortress - in the Warsong Clan's tradition, death in battle is the eternal destination of a warrior - even though this is only a "tradition" established after Grom Hellroar came to power.
In the red willow forest outside the fortress of Dammod, Red gloated at the soldiers of the Warsong Clan who slowly retreated into the woods, and whispered, "You deserve it...... I knew that it was impossible to take that strong fortress, but I still had to send it to my death...... What a bunch of idiots! ”
Maim nodded repeatedly, but Zuhd had a sad look on his face - unlike Red, Zuheard had always considered himself the wisest of the orcs, unlike his compatriot like Grom, who only knew how to do brute things.
Although he resented Orgrim for killing his friend Blackhan, Zuhd had to admit that the new orc Great Chief was indeed cunning enough.
If Orgrim's plan had been carried out, the Dammod Fortress would now be under the control of the orcs, and the brave warriors of the Warsong Clan would be storming the human army garrison across the Sadol Bridge.
But now, the whole perfect plan has been completely disrupted, and for some reason, the fortress of Dammod, which should have been ungarrisoned, has suddenly been incorporated into the defense line of the human army.
Although the onslaught lasted for a day, and the human army inside the fortress of Dammod suffered heavy casualties, they did not stop the orc onslaught; Moreover, Zuhd also had a feeling that he was hooked by the bait - if the humans just lowered the floodgates and concentrated on defending the city, then Grom, who could not see any hope of breaking the city, would soon give up attacking the fortress out of boredom.
But in the fortress opposite, the dwarven warrior who was supposed to be in Ironforge jumped out inexplicably, arousing Grom's desire to fight; Then the commander on the opposite side has been using a frontal and hard resistance, and the orcs are hand-to-hand.
In this case, Zuhd had no way of convincing Grom to abandon the fortress and return to the orc camp in Palatine Bay to report back to Orgrim.
If it weren't for the wound in his left arm in that duel, which had not fully recovered by now, Grom would have personally charged the gates of the fortress of Dammod, and because of his injuries, the number one warrior of the orc clan postponed this plan until tomorrow.
And that's all he could do - after thinking about it, Zuhd felt that this was an opportunity - although there was a dwarf in the opposite fortress who could confront Grom head-on, but Zuhd had seen it with his own eyes, and the fellow was severely injured by Grom and almost beheaded.
Zuhd knew that Grom's ability to recover was amazing, and that the scars on his left arm, which had been visible to the bone, were now healed. Zuhd didn't think that the dwarven warrior had the same speed.
In this way, as long as the human army adopts this defensive method tomorrow, Grom will definitely be able to fight into the city; As long as this is done, even if the human army immediately lowers the steel gates, it will not be able to stop the massacre of Grom in the city.
It's not that Grom alone can kill thousands of human troops in the city, but as long as Grom can lead his Warsong Clan team and hold on to the city for a while, the other orcs can climb the head of the fortress of Dammod through the guò rope.
In that case, the fortress would fall into the hands of the orcs, and although the process was a little tortuous and the price of blood was paid, at least Orgrim's plan was completed, only a little later. - Zuhd thought so, dispelling the idea of sending a messenger to the base camp to report the situation to Orgrim.
Now, Zuhd was more worried about the situation on the other side - he had already sent a message to Grimbaatar's people, hoping that they would come to their aid with the Red Dragon; But now that a few hours have passed, and there is still no trace of the red dragon in the sky, could it be that something has happened to Grimbaatar?
No, it can't be - Zuhd shook his head, rejecting the idea - in Grimbaatar, there are not only dragons like Taran, but also higher beings, there should be no force that can threaten the safety there, the only explanation is that Tahran has other ideas, and Necruz certainly can't say anything about it sending its people.
Since there is no help from the red dragon, we can only wait for Grom's amazing watch tomorrow - Zuhd looked at the Blackhan brothers, who were still gloating, and fell into thought again - what did Orgrim want to do?
In Zuhed's opinion, since he could easily take the fortress of Danmod, wouldn't it be better to simply press all the orc armies and crush the human garrison at the northern end of the Sadol Bridge?
But now, Orgrim has only sent a part of the orc army to do such a thing, and left the main force of the Blackstone Clan in the base camp, what is the reason? What exactly does he want to do with these troops?
Despite his self-proclaimed wisdom, Zuhd knew that the gap between himself and Orgrim was still wide—and he could never guess what was going on in Orgrim's mind.
For example...... Why is this war going on? What did Orgrim want in the end? For some reason, Zuhd remembered Naozu, the great shaman who had been worshipped by the entire orc tribe before Gul'dan.
Neozu did not come to the world of Azeroth, and before the orcs coalesced into a unified tribe and even encompassed his former nemesis, the ogres.
Like the other orcs, Zuhd taunted and despised Naozu when he was down—he had felt that the orc's spiritual leader was too weak. But now, Zuhd suddenly wanted to be able to get Neozu's guidance—at least, the old orc would be able to guess what Orgrim really was thinking.
