At the same time that Arthas, Xue Huan and others defeated Gul'dan, the main force of the orcs in the Alterac Valley was also defeated by the alliance soldiers. Having lost most of their elite warriors, they had to resist hard while retreating to the south.

In a makeshift fortress built by an orc tribe, many orcs were drooping their heads, depressed, and demoralized.

This massive tribal fortress was built when they destroyed the Stormwind Kingdom and marched into Lordaeron to play a triumphant song. It is ironic that they now have to be used as a shelter for their embarrassment......

Inside the main camp, Chief Orgrim Doomhammer sat on his side, his eyes sunken and his head supported by his hands a little tired. His massive hammer leaned against his seat.

The continuous battle with the Human Alliance over the course of a few days had left Orgrim Doomhammer a little tired and agitated. He wanted to evacuate as soon as possible, but the helpless thing was that the troops were wounded and demoralized, and they couldn't march normally.

"People... Humans are coming!"

A heart-rending sound pulled Orgrim Doomhammer back from thought.

Orgrim looked up to find his deputy, Tarbek, stumbling in from outside the tent. He was annoyed by the fear in Tarbek's voice. When did his brutal deputy become so weak?

"I know they're coming. Orgrim snarled in response.

"What about the Ravaging Clan and the Twilight Hammer Clan, we need their help!" Tabek said to Orgrim in panic, the fear of defeat filling his heart.

"They're not coming. ”

The young orc warrior Tarbek looked up and was taken aback at the sudden utterance of this sentence by his chieftain: "What do you mean?"

Orgrim's face contorted, and he repeated angrily, "The rest of the tribes, they won't come!"

Hearing this, Tarbek's eyes widened, and he could no longer suppress the fear in his heart, and he directly sat down on the ground.

At this moment, another deputy of Orgrim Doomhammer, Torges, stepped into the camp with heavy steps.

"What's wrong?" Orgrim ignored the feeble Tabek and turned his gaze to Torgus.

"Something's wrong, Chief. Torges said bluntly: "The mountain road is cut off. ”

What the?!

Ogrim couldn't believe his ears.

That mountain road was the only way they could retreat south, and it was the one that Perrinord had promised to give up to attack Lordaeron. And just as they were in a rout, his lieutenant told him that their only access was cut off?

He swooped up from his seat, walked up to Torgues, and whispered excitedly, "What's going on?"

"I don't know. Torgus shook his head and replied, "But we won't be able to cross that mountain road again." I sent my fighters to reconnoiter what was going on, but none of them came back!"

"Damn!"

Orgrim gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage. "That human betrayed us, and I knew that the person who would betray his own race could not be trusted!"

But when he calmed down, it occurred to him that the cowardly human in the cloak should not have the courage to turn his head against himself.

Perhaps the Human Alliance had shown more strength, or they had forced him to submit with some pressure stronger than the orc tribes.

Perhaps the humans discovered his betrayal and deprived him of his freedom to take control of the mountain path.

Yes, that's the most likely scenario......

There was no way the man would have betrayed him at this time, especially since there was an army of the orc tribe nearby. He must have been caught and taken away, while the others took control of the mountainous area.

Orgrim Doomhammer was right, just as Arthas and Xue Huan were fighting Gul'dan. Solas Torbain, Lord of Stormgard, led his army to Alterac.

He attacked the palace and held Perinord hostage. He ordered all his soldiers to block the mountain path where the orc forces retreated. The soldiers of Alterac were already dissatisfied with the king's defection to the orcs, and asked for help in Torbane.

In this way, Tolbane's already small army instantly grew several times larger. At the same time, it also dealt a huge blow to the orc troops......

"How many orcs are trapped there?" Orgrim asked.

"It's hard to say," Torges shrugged, the orc was clearly more relaxed than Tarbek, "but at least half a clan, if not more. ”

Torges turned his head and looked outside the tent, where he saw a number of orc warriors patrolling back and forth. He turned his back to Orgrim and said, "We still have a lot of warriors here, and when Gul'dan arrives here, we will have more!"

"Gul'dan, they're not coming!"

The news came as a surprise to Toggs...

"Gul'dan betrayed us. Ogrim gave a difficult account of what had happened.

Upon learning of Gul'dan's betrayal, Torges looked very confused and asked, "But why did he do this? If we lose this war, there will be no place for us, including himself." ”

The Hammer of Doom shook his head, his teeth clucking, "He never cared about this war. The guy seemed to have found something, something unusually powerful. This thing could make that idiot so strong that he didn't need the protection of the tribe. ”

Knowing that asking questions about the matter would not help the current situation, Torges chose to change the subject......

"Then what should we do?" he asked in a low voice, "so we don't have enough troops to take that city!"

Orgrim was clearly reluctant to mention Lordaeron again. The city was stronger than he had imagined, and its defenders were stubborn. The surprise attacks launched by the Human Alliance from their rear also caused their forces to be greatly reduced.

And the Kodo Beast Legion, which he trusted the most, was almost completely wiped out in this war. Even more frustrating is that they can now no longer get reinforcements anywhere.

Besieged by the Human Alliance in the Alterac Valley, they are like trapped beasts, dying and struggling......

At that moment, an orc scout ran in. He gasped and knelt slightly tired in front of Orgrim's knees: "Humans, on our east side!"

Hearing this, unlike Torgus and Tarbek, Orgrim Doomhammer didn't show too much surprise. For him, the bad news of the past few days had completely numbed him.

He waved his hand and motioned for the orc scouts to step back.

"How can there be a human army in the east?" asked Torges as the orc scout left.

"Quel'Thalas!" Orgrim's eyes lit up and he said in a deep voice. He once left behind a clan force on his way to Quel'Thalas, where he misled the human pursuers.

The plan went well, and the humans sent an army to search for the orcs in the forest.

It would have been a clever plan, but now that the human armies were coming in from the east, if he was not careful, he would be flanked by several alliance armies at the same time, thus completely depriving the orc tribe of the last chance to escape......

Thinking of this, a pained expression crossed Orgrim's face.

"You've made a lot of the right choices. ”

At this moment, a loud and high-pitched voice came from not far away. Lost in thought, Orgrim looked up again, looking at the comer.

"Grum?" exclaimed Orgrim.

The source of the sound was Grum Hellroar, who was seriously injured and unconscious after several rounds of fighting Uther.

The orc warrior's physical recovery function was already strong, and the battle with Uther didn't break his bones, but the weakness of the bloodthirsty rage caused him to pass out. At this time, his body had already recovered as before.

Grum Hellroar said as he approached Orgrim, "I know very well how much of an impact Gul'dan's betrayal can have. He uses demonic blood to turn his people into murderous machines. During those days, we were tormented by hatred, hunger, and despair to the point of madness. ”

"No matter what happens in the future, you have restored our people's honor!"

With that, Grum Hellroar was already standing in front of Orgrim, looking at him with a smile.

"Thank you..."

Ogrim had too much emotion in his heart, but in the end it turned into a few short words.

He said no more and walked out of the tent. He still had an order to issue and another way to march. Perhaps, this will be his last march......
