Chapter 202: Guldan's Expedition (2-in-1)
Gul'dan was a very decisive orc.
This decisiveness was constantly reflected in the major turning points of his life.
At that time, Gul'dan realized that he was not the material to be a shaman, and decisively took refuge in the Burning Legion.
Later, Medivan approached him to open the Dark Gate, and Gul'dan found that he could not defeat the human mage, so he resolutely confessed and tried his best to encourage the orcs to build the Dark Gate.
Now that he found that Orgrim did not want to see him, and learned the approximate location of the tomb of Sargeras, Gul'dan thought for a while, and then decisively prepared to slip away.
Of course, you can't run blindly.
He needs enough of his men (cannon fodder) to find the Tomb of Sargeras and obtain the artifacts and mysterious powers buried inside, and he knows very well what terrible enemies he will encounter in the Tomb of Sargeras.
So the first thing he did after making up his mind was to gather his power as much as possible so that he could go with him.
Guldan has been in the tribe for so many years, and he has saved a lot of money.
The first is the Shadow Council, a powerful team of dozens of high-level orc warlocks, and hundreds of low-level warlock apprentices, who are his most loyal followers and the most reliable helpers.
The Evil Orc Wargroup is composed of hundreds of powerful orcs who have drunk the blood of demons many times, and the distribution power of the demon's blood is in the hands of Gul'dan, and the orcs are eager for the blood of demons, so Gul'dan will naturally use this to recruit a group of elite dead soldiers for himself.
The Shadow Assassins, a killer organization affiliated with the Shadow Council, are composed of dozens of elite orc assassins, and they are led by the legendary thief Galona, who was not sent to assassinate Medivan due to the change of history, and is still by his side.
The Tyranny Clan, the leader of the Talon Blood Demon, this is a clan created by him, although the population is not large, only five or six thousand, but it is loyal to him.
The Twilight Hammer Clan, a clan led by his apprentice, the two-headed ogre magician Gugar, is composed of ogres, orcs, and white ghost orcs, and the Twilight clan has always been unpopular within the tribe, because it worships neither evil nor shamans, but void magic, a strange spell that even Gul'dan is afraid of.
After considering the power at his disposal, Gul'dan suddenly became confident in his plan, with such a powerful army, there was absolutely no problem in taking the tomb of Sargeras.
But immediately another crucial question arose before his eyes.
How to get to the Tomb of Sargeras.
Gul'dan had only been in Azeroth for a few days, and he had no idea how to get to the tomb of Sargeras.
Fortunately, the warlock apprentice named Poison Jia Xu surprised Gul'dan to come up with a very suitable plan for him.
"Teacher, look here, this is the Cursed Land, located in the south of the Eastern Continent, and next to it is the Valley of Thorns, in the southernmost part of the Valley of Thorns, there is a city ruled by goblins - Treasure Bay, goblins are a very greedy race, they like money very much, as long as they give money they are willing to sell anything, we can go there to buy a fleet, and then set off for the Broken Isles."
This made Guldan's eyes light up.
"Well done apprentice, I'll consider this plan." Gul'dan immediately calculated the feasibility of this plan, not to mention, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a spectrum.
However, it is also a question of what reason to go to the Valley of Thorns, Gul'dan still knows Ogrim well, and unlike the big black hand, Ogrim has a stoic personality, and will never tolerate betrayal.
Once you find yourself running away, you will definitely send someone to chase you down as soon as possible.
So you have to find a suitable excuse.
While sending his men to inquire about the news, Gul'dan instructed the orc laborers to build the Demon Altar, and after a few days, he finally got good news.
Kilrog Deatheye led the Bloodring Orcs to conquer the Valley of Thorns and suffered a great defeat, and was lured deeper by the local troll coalition, losing more than 3,000 losses.
Although it did not hurt the muscles and bones, it was undoubtedly a big setback for the tribe's current strategic arrangement.
Gul'dan suddenly felt that he had seized the opportunity and hurried to the fortress.
As soon as he entered the chieftain's hall, he heard Orgrim's angry roar.
"Kilrog this waste, I asked him to go to the Valley of Thorns to expand the territory in order to expand the strategic space of the tribe, but this bastard got mixed up with the trolls there, and even lost, it really makes sense! Even a bunch of trolls can't handle it, how can you conquer this world! ”
Orgrim does have a reason to be angry, it is not easy to unify the tribes, each clan does its own thing, basically has its own little abacus, he sent the Blood Ring Clan to open up the Valley of Thorns, the value is that the Blood Ring Clan grows in the Tanaan jungle and is very good at jungle warfare.
As long as they can open up a territory in the jungle of Thorn Valley and build a stronghold, the tribe will have a peripheral strategic fulcrum, but unexpectedly, when Kilrog Deatheye saw the environment of Thorn Valley, he immediately had the idea of enclosing himself, and directly fought with the local trolls, wanting to take the troll's territory down as a new home for the bloodring orcs.
If you win, forget it, but you lose.
He could tolerate the departure of the Frostwolf Clan, and that was because Durotan was his friend, and Kilrog was the oldest......
While he was thinking about how to punish Kilrog to make sure he knew what to do and not get out of his way, Gul'dan walked in.
"Ah, Great Chief, what's wrong with you, what's going on?" Gul'dan asked with a look of surprise.
Looking at Gul'dan's fake care, a hint of disgust flashed in Orgrim's eyes.
"Hmph, it's not a big deal, that Kirrog waste is in a bit of trouble in the Valley of Thorns - how is the Demon Altar built."
"I'm afraid it's going to take a little time, the number of hard laborers is too small, and I can't do anything - why don't you let me go to Kilrog's aid, my Raider Clan and Twilight Clan are small in number, but very sacrificial, they have been in the camp for too long and have begun to become restless."
A hint of suspicion flashed in Orgrim's eyes, and he stared at Gul'dan for a while: "Gul'dan, what tricks are you playing, you are not very enthusiastic about conquest and war, why did you take the initiative to ask for war this time?" ”
"Ah, Great Chief, what you say makes me feel so sad, I, Gul'dan, am loyal to the tribe, in the past, it took too much energy just to study evil spells and portal technology, and now the tribe has arrived in the new world, and the Demon Altar section can't be built in fact, of course I have to try to do what I can for the tribe, otherwise, the big chief can also send me to the front line, I heard that the Red Ridge Mountain has encountered stubborn resistance from humans......"
"No need." Orgrim interrupted Gul'dan, "I have my own strategy for Red Ridge Mountain. ”
Orgrim's plan was to use the confrontation on the battlefield of Red Ridge Mountain to attract the main human force, so that the large-scale roundabout battle of Hell's Roar could work wonders, so he was not in a hurry to divide the winner.
After thinking about it for a while, I said in my heart, after all, Guldan still has some strength, if he can consume some of his subordinates, it will be much more convenient to deal with him in the future, so let him go to the Valley of Thorns and toss with those troll barbarians.
Orgrim (Grand Chief): "Okay, then this task is up to you, go to the Valley of Thorns and tell Kilrog, don't challenge my patience anymore, complete my mission immediately, set up a camp in the Valley of Thorns, of course, those trolls also need to beat it, and use your evil magic to corrupt their land, aren't you the best at this, let them understand that the glory of the tribe is not to be offended, but don't waste too much time, our main enemy at the moment is humans, don't disappoint me." ”
Guldan hurriedly agreed, and when he walked out of the camp, Guldan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Gul'dan (Demon Summoner): "Haha, stupid Orgrim, fuck the glory of the tribe, what does it matter to me if the tribe can win or not.
You short-sighted, stupid chieftains, who only know how to fight for territory, to wage war, to fight like wild dogs for land and wealth, hum, but only power is the eternal truth, and look, when I have the power of Sargeras, you will all surrender at my feet. ”
Back at the camp, Gul'dan immediately ordered his men to be gathered.
Gul'dan did not take all his troops with him, and in order to confuse Orgrim, he deliberately left a few thousand old and weak orcs plus a hundred or so orc warlocks to guard the camp and continue to build the demon altar.
He led his elite 10,000 followers on the road to the Valley of Thorns.
Instead of meeting up with the Orcs of the Bloodring or fighting the troll tribes in the jungle, Gul'dan went straight to the Treasure Bay.
Although there are no gold and silver treasures, the orcs also have their own good things - special metals from Draenor, magic iron, constant gold, krypton, magic iron This metal is extremely hard, although the orc army lacks armor, but most of the weapons are not bad, not weak in the slightest, relying on weapons made of this special metal ore.
And Hengjin and Krypton are both superb magical metals, which are priceless, and Gul'dan sent someone to contact the goblins to sell a batch of rare metals, which really made the goblins smile.
After selling dozens of large ships to him in one go, as well as a large amount of supplies, Gul'dan immediately took his more than 10,000 orcs on board the ship and set off in the direction of the tomb of Sargeras.
At the same time - the Wild West - Fort Shield
The castle was a fief of an earl, located at the southernmost point of the Western Wilderness, and is now also a gathering place for large armies.
In the castle's conference hall, Murphy is discussing an ambush plan with Varian, Arthas, and other heroes.
For this big war, the three brothers can be said to have done their best.
Murphy pulled Dara into the fold, and Sigrid pulled them in.
Arthas also brought in Muradine Copperbeard, Morgan Lisa, and Tianxiu.
And Varian even used his personal charm to call his four brothers to help, plus a few from Tianluo Studio, it can be said that they are all together.
Aidan (Prince Alterac): "Leonardo da Vinci, where is the wolf cavalry army of orcs?" ”
Leonardo da Vinci (Grand Architect): "They have arrived near the Sodom River, they are about to cross the river, and they are expected to attack the western wilderness tomorrow, and the plan of the orcs is to go all the way north, bypassing castles and cities, burning farms and wheat fields, killing all the living, and completely destroying the food production areas of the Stormwind Kingdom." ”
Varian (Prince of the Storm): "No, they don't have a chance, I'll stop them and wipe out this orc cavalry!" ”
Varian said, a resolute look on his face.
He looked at his brothers behind him, "How's the gathering of soldiers and horses?" ”
Despite Varian's arguments, King Lane was unable to fully agree to the plan, and King Stormwind's army was now facing off against the horde army in the Red Ridge Mountains, and it was impossible to draw it.
However, King Lane also attached great importance to the theft of his home in the rear, so he sent half of the knights of the Stormwind Order to Varian, and appointed him as the marshal of the Western Wilderness Military District, with the power to mobilize the local militia and noble private soldiers to fight.
Just three days ago, Varian had issued a call for all the human towns in the Western Wilderness, and troops from all over the country were arriving from afar.
James Wryon (Prince of the Storm): "Two thousand from Mooncreek, three thousand from Sentinel Ridge, three thousand from Fort Leidan, three thousand from the Gold Coast, four thousand from Fengyu Harbor, and five thousand from Lion Lake......
Listening to the fifth brother's report, Varian carefully estimated the number of troops.
It's not enough, it's far from enough, and it only adds up to more than 40,000 troops, and the 3,000 knights of the Storm Knights are only 45,000.
Compared with the strength of the orc cavalry, it is 1.5:1, although it seems that there is a certain advantage in strength, but the orcs are pure cavalry troops, and the wolves can also fight, and the individual combat effectiveness of the orcs is much higher than that of humans, and most of these assembled troops are militiamen, and they are not superior in combat power at all.
If you hit it head-on, you will even be at a disadvantage.
Varian (Prince of the Storm): "Why don't I gather adventurers, as long as I give the order, I can gather tens of thousands of adventurers to fight in a day!" ”
Aidan (Prince Alterac): "No, as long as we gather the adventurers, our plans will be exposed immediately, the orcs are pure cavalry troops, and we will be at a disadvantage once we lose the first move." ”
Mo Fei knows the player's urine too well, as long as this thing is poked out, the Internet will immediately turn upside down, and the players on the tribe side will definitely know about it, and then there will be an ambush for a yarn.
This plan must be known as little as possible.
He looked at Leonardo da Vinci, and Leonardo da Vinci immediately understood.
"Don't worry about Prince Varian, our studio won't collect money in vain, don't worry about the number of troops, we have already chosen the location of the ambush, right here - Dagger Ridge!"
It seems that I have been hit, but the symptoms are not very obvious, and I am not completely sure.
In order to avoid serious interruptions, for the sake of insurance, the big sniper plans to leave some manuscripts, so it will be updated every day according to the full attendance line of 4,000 words.
The number of words is a bit small, please forgive me.
