The Orcs of the Iron Tribe's siege of Shattrath continues.

This is normal, and so far, the orcs are still in an advantageous position on this battlefield. Although the main force of the Iron Tribe is gathered in the Tanaan jungle area, which has a magic gate connecting another world, the army of tens of thousands of orcs is enough to suppress the Draenei. If it weren't for the defense of Shattrath, the largest city of the Draenei, they would have been finished.

Fortunately, despite the defeat of the Draenei by the vanguard of the orcs, they still persevered, or rather, had to hold on. This vanguard has completed the encirclement of this city by the sea, and the so-called follow-up force of the orcs is a powerful fleet.

Fortunately, the main force of this force is still at the docks of the steel port, and has not yet made a full attack, but has only sent a small advance fleet of destroyers and transport ships to complete the early blockade of this sea area, and is replenishing the land troops with armaments, soldiers and supplies by sea in batches.

However, it is conceivable that when this fleet of large number of battleships escorted a large number of orc troops to land at Shattrath, it would probably be the day the city fell.

But they had to fight for it. The Draenei have lost too many cities and settlements, and if they retreat again, where will they go? This time it's Shattrath, what about the next time the orcs besiege the Temple of Carapo (the most important temple of the Draenei) or Oakington (the resting place of the Delaney's dead)?

So, a large number of Draenei warriors gathered in the city. Before the Draenei fleet and the orcs fought a decisive battle at sea, both of them were defeated and nearly wiped out, they sent the civilians and refugees in Shattrath to other safe Draenei settlements, and sent warriors from all over the country who were willing to defend Shattrath.

It's just that the development of things is still beyond the expectations of these people. The defenders of the Draenei Holy City have been mentally prepared for hard battles and have a sense of sacrifice, but things have turned out beyond most people's expectations.

In fact, as time passed, optimists such as Samara still had the heart to say this and that, and in Shattrath City, most of the Draenei were no longer in the mood to speak.

It's only been two months, just two months into the war. If it weren't for the prophet Viren and the dying Naru and others who would have taken action at any cost, the Draenei would have been crushed on the battlefield.

Even so, the atmosphere in Shattrath City is getting sluggish day by day. They had already lost four people at the top, including a candidate for archbishop (under the prophet Vilen, the highest position in the Delaney's regime was the Council of Bishops), and about twenty-five senior commanders, more than one hundred mid-level commanders, and more than five hundred low-level commanders. As for the casualties below, there are countless ones.

Any Draenei who sat down and thought about it for a moment would know that the situation was not good, unless they immediately abandoned the city and concentrated their forces to break through to avoid the fate of total annihilation.

In fact, before the Draenei army could be concentrated, some of them had already been crushed individually. The forces assembled in the land of Talador - except for the defenders defending Oakington, as well as the original villages and towns, were broken by the orcs, and the remnants of the defeated generals and refugees were driven towards Shattrath from before the siege began.

- The commander of the orc vanguard is a complete brute. But the military capabilities are still remarkable. Even, some of the more insidious tactics, such as driving civilians to attack the city, driving civilians into the city, and consuming the opponent's reserve of grain and grass. These are all basic skills that can be self-taught.

Shattrath City is in trouble. Speaking of which, the city is big and strong. The city is high and the pond is deep, and the geographical location is superior. When the Draenei came to the world of Draenor, the first large city they established was Shattrath.

This centuries-old city has endured and has been renovated and rebuilt several times to become one of the world's premier cities in Draenor. At the same time, despite the fact that Chengping was still in peace, at the insistence of some of the Draenei who were prepared for danger in times of peace, they did not hesitate to fortify this holy city.

At the same time, at the beginning, Shattrath's guards, together with the remnants of the defeated army, reinforcements from all over the country, and civilians who were reluctant to leave to take up arms, totaled nearly 40,000 men. Supposedly, these men were numerically sufficient to assume garrison duties.

It's a pity that war is not a simple numbers game.

Two months after the war reached Tarador, the city of Shattrath was nearing the end of the world.

There were more than 30,000 troops left in the garrison, and although there were quite a few, they lacked medical care, supplies, morale, and even equipment...... They lack everything.

So the orc commander from the Warsong clan made this assertion: It will be a month before the arrival of the large army, but it will only take half a month, and he will definitely break through Shattrath City in half a month. And after the city is broken, it is natural to burn and kill and rob it all ......

If Samara hadn't come forward, that would have happened.

The scorching air carried the roar of battle and the howls of the Gorons and the wolves, who stormed the streets of the city, followed by the wolf cavalry. Prior to this attack, the orcs had actually controlled about a fifth of Shattrath City.

A large number of Draenei defenders have been cut down, and the white pavement has been stained blue with flowing blood, but the defenders still insist on fighting back and defending.

Unfortunately, the first wave of the orcs' long-brewing onslaught flooded the city, and the orc tide poured in through the gaps in the inner city, and then split into small streams, pouring into the large circular buildings lining the main street, spilling up the wide stone steps. Outside, they were supported by a large number of artillery pieces, and siege tanks were trying to create another gap in the walls of the inner city.

The warriors on Goron and the wolf rushed into one building after another, blood flowing down the steps as they walked, and then into the next building, and then the next.

The Draenei chose to resist stubbornly, the garrisons rushed desperately, the rangers shot arrows desperately, and all the magical defenses of Shattrath City were activated. Like a meat grinder, a group of people is in a group, and the number of draenei and orcs is decreasing, but the former is decreasing much faster than the latter. Despite being a well-positioned defender, the exchange ratio between the two sides is maintained at 6 to 1.

As a result, one by one, the reserves were also thrown into this area and consumed. The Prophet did not dare and could not mobilize the rest of the forces on the walls that were defending against the orc attack, and he and Naru were not strong enough to change the tide of battle. So even if the members of the reserve were either tired or still able to fight, they were thrown in, repeatedly fighting over the neighborhoods and walls, trying to drive the orcs out.

Samara, on the other hand, was one of those last reserves.
