Volume III Kuroshio 48 The End of Ogaz
I once stood at the foot of Ironforge, looking up at the high, steep, somewhat unspeakable mountain. There are hundreds of thousands of dwarves living in it, or more. I said it was a tomb, and if the dwarves heard it, they would probably fight me, but I didn't care.
It's not that I can make the dwarf's already small nose bone shorter, but it is.
It was an extremely strong fortress, and the dwarves built the city with an entire mountain as a barrier.
I remembered the dead city called Grimbaatar that I had been to with John, wasn't that just a tomb? Undead...... Darkness and ...... Dead. You can never escape, you will always wander here.
I don't know how much food, how much meat, how much fresh water is stored in Ironforge, maybe they can eat for a few years, but every time I think about it, I always feel a kind of depression and depression in my heart.
Perhaps it is the race born underground that does not get tired of this darkness and claustrophobia. I can't stand it anyway.
The orcs blew up the gate for two days, and when they saw that it couldn't be blown up, they began to climb up the cliff wall, where there were dwarve-carved ventilation windows and lookouts. Of course, there are also some places that resemble firing points.
The orcs, who were not afraid of death, began their sending to their deaths.
According to the dwarves' recollections, the orcs did not climb the rock very quickly, first, because there was snow, and secondly, they had to find out slowly where they could be scratched and stepped on. But this gave the dwarves plenty of time to deal with the orc soldiers who were sent to their deaths.
Of course, in order to protect them, the orcs' sharp arrows, hard crossbows, artillery trebuchets are indeed not idle, but this kind of damage is basically an itch for dwarves.
And the dwarves also prepared scorching iron juice for the orcs. Fiery hot iron poured down from above, and the orcs lying on the mountain rolled down like ants doused with hot water.
Poured from the head...... Tut...... Just thinking about it makes me panic.
Unable to capture it, the orc army began a year-long excavation work.
I also admire the perseverance of the orcs, of course, there is also the credit of the goblins, they really have their ability to dig holes through the mountains to the extreme, and now there are still a few holes around the Iron Fort that were dug at that time, but this kind of digging method may be able to dig into the city after a few more years.
It's just that time waits for no one.
The snow was heavy that winter, and the orc forces set up camp around Ironforge, blocking all possibilities of getting out of Ironforge. The dwarves gave up their suicide as leaving the city, and perhaps the Copperbeard King was counting on his people to fight back.
Since then, however, the dwarven resistance has largely become a sporadic guerrilla war.
The thunder spear is not bad, and it has always insisted on resisting the war. This is also the reason why it has received great praise after the war, especially honors.
He's a general now.
Thunderspear's army was constantly disrupting the activities of the orcs around the Gubora quarries, but the orcs were not stupid and soon organized a force to encircle and suppress them.
This guy is quite good at killing people with a knife, and there are some monsters alive in the mountains east of the Gubora Quarry. Where there are dwarves, there's this kind of thing, the kind that John and I met when we walked through the Badlands.
They...... They can't be called humans, at most humanoids. Those things have their own turf, and they're so vindictive that it's not easy to get rid of them if you provoke them.
And our Thunderspear General led the orc troops to the territory of those monsters at that time, and the orcs were probably ecstatic when they saw those things, or they would not have rushed over directly to slash and kill them.
The result was comfortable, and it was a steady stream of monsters coming out of the cave. According to Lei Mao, he felt numb when he looked at it.
The orc cavalry was overwhelmed by the monsters that poured in from all directions. This time, all of them escaped, and all of them were wiped out.
Thunderspear was crazy at the time, and he felt that he had found a good way to save the kingdom. According to him, the discovery made him want to have a drink, huh...... At that time, they were poor and could only drink snow water.
It was a great victory, then, and now, with the only bad thing that the quarry still hasn't been taken back.
They went to harass again, this time sending more wolf cavalry, which also made Thunderspear feel that this could be done, and sure enough, after he and his brothers introduced the wolf cavalry into the canyon of the monsters, few escaped from it.
And the monsters chased and chased to the quarries of Gubora, and then ...... The orcs went crazy. They probably never dreamed that the quarries they had easily taken over would be so easily taken over by a flood of monsters.
Of course, the orcs also wanted to take it back, but failed, and even if the Death Knights killed it, it would have little effect, and they could not stop the group of monsters from emerging from the ground at all.
And the monsters who captured the pit were extremely happy to take the place for themselves. After we've liberated all of Danmoro, I've heard that we don't have the ability to reclaim the pit yet.
The orcs gave up their assault on Ironforge, they couldn't get in, and those inside couldn't get out. So the orcs began to concentrate on how to expand their armaments and continue to advance north. But the two tunnels to the north were the biggest obstacle in front of them.
So the orcs organized a campaign against the two tunnel fortresses near the town of Ugaz.
The severity is self-evident, not only for dwarves, but also for orcs. It's just that the real takedown started with the orcs building a military port in the wetland.
I don't know exactly who came up with the plan for the ocean, but a large number of orcs climbed the mountains to the seashore and then built improvised rafts of boats, and floated along the coastline all the way to what is now the port of Minahir.
It is now an important port city, from Southsea to Torbarad in the north, and from Gilneth to Kurtilas, the closest port to the dwarven trade.
But at that time, it was the place where goblins helped the beasts build warships. When the orcs set foot on that land, they built docks, harbors, and dockyards there. Soon the orcs who came out of the Elwyn Forest, and the orcs near Stormwind City could quickly reach here by boat. That's why ...... The fortress of Ogaz has completely fallen.
Hum...... The first time I passed through this, I felt that this was the strongest fortress in the world, with winding mountain roads and tunnels so deep that it was impossible to conquer them little by little.
But the flying dragons in the sky have detected clearly, Dan Morro's reinforcements have been too busy to take care of themselves, and the hundreds of thousands of defenders here can only rely on themselves.
In fact, after the dwarf has an accident, why not report it to the humans as soon as possible? I really can't imagine how the thousands of defenders on the Saldo Bridge have such a big heart and haven't been in contact with Ironforge for so long?
The answer is really.
After the orcs finished reorganizing the harbor, they drove towards the north gate of the fortress of Ogaz. At this time, the fortress of Ogaz transferred a large number of troops in order to defend against the orc troops at the south gate. After learning that Ironforge Fort was besieged, he wanted to send troops through the North Gate Tunnel to the west of Ogaz Town to King Qin many times. As a result, he was intercepted by the orcs many times, and there were many casualties.
The last part of the troops that went to King Qin were blocked in the North Gate Tunnel and never returned.
And the fall of the north gate of the Ogaz Fortress was purely the credit of the Heavenly Dragoons. It is recorded that one night the warm breeze in the wetlands, which was as peaceful as ever, kept the defenders drowsy.
It was also the orc troops that were ambushed in the forest near the north gate that quickly attacked after receiving information from the Wyvern. And this group of dragon-riding guys fell from the sky!
As you should recall, the section of the north gate of the Ogaz fortress is not long, it can be said to be a bit short. The dragon that fell from the sky watered the entire North Gate barracks with flames.
It's that simple!
The North Gate is lost!
Now I'm going to tell you in such plain words, do you think about what you had in mind when you walked through there?
The walls of that tunnel are still black, not only because the lighting there is really bad, but because it is blackened by the dragon flames.
I still remember that the defenders of the North Gate should have had more than 200 people at that time, and if it was really an orc knocking on the door with his head, these 200 people would be like playing against a few thousand orcs. The door wasn't as big or sturdy as the one in Ironforge, but it wasn't easy to break through.
But that night, more than a dozen dragoons landed inside the north gate, and then ......
Bang......
After the fall of the North Gate, the orcs did the same, and captured the mountain tunnels of the two mountains one after another. Later, according to the defenders at the time, they watched the orcs fall from the sky, and the flames instantly covered most of the surrounding area.
They also want to resist, but they are really powerless.
The orcs, who had conquered the two mountains, halted their advance, and when more orc troops landed in the port of Minethir, the death knell was sounded in the world's strongest fortress.
It was probably around March that the fortress fell completely,
Hordes of dwarves came out of the fortress, and they wanted to survive, so they went to the town of Ogaz and the North Gate Tunnel.
The orcs sent a large number of elites to intercept them, but our dwarven brothers have already killed the red eyes at this time, and now they don't care about anything for the sake of temporary survival, which is why more dwarves survived this time, which is why in the end the North Gate Tunnel lasted until we recovered the fortress of Ogaz and the whole of Lockmodan.
This is the story of the dwarves, the stories of the dwarves I heard.
This may not be the same as the dwarves you remember, perhaps their broad palms, thick arms, thick body hair, and especially the beard make you think they may be wilder and more ferocious than humans.
Hum...... Sometimes yes, but when the orcs conquered all of Kazmodan, the dwarves were even worse than the gnomes, and the cuties were trapped beneath Nomorigan but ready to reclaim the lost ground.
The guns they make are average, but the extension and support of firearms are unmatched. Their planes, transporters...... And so on and so forth. I admire the gnomes even more......
And the Overwatch incident in the past two years, if it weren't for the invention of the gnomes, maybe Stormwind might have fallen again.
