LIVE: Azeroth

Chapter 1103 Inevitability Among Chances

The combined fleet of orcs and Darkspear trolls had just landed in Durotar, which has not yet been officially named. The scouts left by the Burning Legion discovered their whereabouts, and immediately informed the news that it was not far to the northwest. Mannoroth in ambush.

Even with the main force of the Burning Legion, it would not be easy to capture the big tree shade guarded by the green dragon. After all, this place is one of the important nodes for the material world to enter the Emerald Dream, and it has always been heavily guarded.

Moreover, when Mannoroth sent out scouts for reconnaissance, he also inquired about another bad news.

Due to the deep bond between the green dragon queen Ysera and the forest demigod Cenarius, once the big tree shade is attacked, Cenarius, who has been wandering in the forest, is likely to lead his own dryads and forest guardians The children rushed to the reinforcements.

As long as nothing happens to Argus, the home of the Burning Legion in the Twisting Nether, the demons fighting outside can be resurrected infinitely.

However, once the demons die, their souls will automatically escape back to Argus and wait to reshape their bodies. It will not be so easy to imagine relying on the power of the Sunwell to enter Azeroth next time.

Mannoroth's mind is not very bright, but at least he knows to save as much troops as possible before the final decisive battle.

Just at this time, the orc who had voluntarily drank the blood of Mannoroth to gain great strength came to the door.

Mannoroth thought about it with his dull brain, and soon came up with a good alternative.

Let the orcs drink their own blood again, and let them go ahead and serve as cannon fodder for the Burning Legion.

The orcs who drink the blood of the demon will be strengthened by the evil energy contained in the blood, but the blood of the demon will also greatly catalyze their negative emotions, making it difficult for these demon orcs to control their behavior and will be manipulated by bloodthirsty impulses own will.

After the preliminary plan was drawn up, Mannoroth was no longer busy attacking. He planned to let the orcs hit a wall in Ashenvale first, and then show up at the right time to give them some "goodwill" hints.

Mannoroth also participated in the War of the Ancients 1 years ago. He knew how to annoy the night elves, and he also understood some of the customs of the orcs.

Unlike the Alliance, which has already used stone materials on a large scale to build city walls and sentry towers, the tribe still maintains a relatively primitive architectural style, building fortifications by cutting down trees.

The orcs who have just landed in Kalimdor will inevitably need a base to settle down, and a lot of wood will be used to build the base.

The red land where the orcs and trolls landed was barren, and the barren land next door was sparsely vegetated.

To obtain a large amount of wood, the orcs can only explore the Azshara region and Ashenvale in the north.

And these two areas are all the territory of the night elves without exception.

Due to the popularity of druid teachings in the night elf society, the night elves have long been accustomed to coexisting with the forest, and they are extremely disgusted with the excessive felling of trees and damaging the environment.

This is an unbridgeable divide between two races with different ideas.

Based on the plan of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, Mannoroth temporarily suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and he deliberately sent some low-level demons to lure the orcs to discover the high-quality logging camp in the Ashenvale Forest.

In fact, he did succeed.

After the orcs and trolls landed in Durotar (not yet named), after some discussions, they came to the conclusion that they should build a base camp on the spot first.

The Darkspear troll took a fancy to an overseas archipelago discovered before landing. Compared with the barren red land with almost no grass under their feet, the island has richer natural resources.

But the disadvantage is that it is not convenient to travel between the overseas islands and the mainland of Kalimdor. Once a war breaks out on the front line, it will take more time to travel.

After sending out scouts to survey the area, Goel didn't intend to run to the south of the red land to huddle with the trolls. He chose a valley closer to the Azshara region in the north.

The main reason for choosing this place is to facilitate water fetching and felling of wood. On the west side of the base is the Nushui River originating from Mount Hyjal.

And judging from the surrounding terrain, this valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it very suitable for building fortifications.

If Sharlayan was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that the valley Goel chose was exactly where Orgrimmar, the future main city of the orcs, was located in the original history.

It can only be said that some things are inevitable by chance. Goyle's choice of this place as a base is the inevitable result of accumulation driven by various needs.

Go'el knew that the alliance and the Horde were deeply enmity, and it was impossible to live in harmony on the same continent.

As early as when he promised Medivh to come to Kalimdor to expel the Burning Legion, Goel made up his mind to find a new home suitable for orcs to settle on the other side of the endless sea.

After initially settling in the red land temporarily named Durotar, Goyle sent two groups of scouts to explore west and north respectively.

The scouts heading west crossed the River of Wrath and entered the Barrens. The Tauren, who were gathering troops to outflank the back of the demons, soon discovered these green-skinned creatures that had never been seen before.

Because they did not understand the habits and purpose of the orcs, the tauren did not rush to contact the orc scouts under the order of Kane Bloodhoof, but quietly followed them to observe and monitor.

Another scout heading north soon discovered the low-level demons that Mannoroth had deliberately sent to seduce, and tracked these demons all the way into the Ashenvale Forest on the west bank of the upper reaches of the Rage River.

Compared with the meager Durotar, Ashenvale Forest is rich in natural resources.

Goyle's plan to build the base originally required a lot of wood, and the scouts immediately cheered and returned to the canyon base that had not yet started construction, and told the good news to Great Chief Goyle in the center of the town.

Since landing in Kalimdor, perhaps due to the influence of the evil energy emanating from the demons close at hand, the orcs who drank the blood of the demons were a little restless. for the most.

Recently, the warriors of the Warsong clan often fought uncontrollably with their compatriots from other clans, which seriously affected the unity atmosphere within the tribe.

As a last resort, Goel drove the Warsong clan headed by Grom Hellscream to the border of the Ashenvale forest to log for the collection of building materials.

Mannoroth, who was hiding in the dark and observing the development of the situation, was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect the orcs to be so cooperative and took the initiative to send the Warsong clan that was most likely to be tempted by him to his mouth.

The silly and happy Mannoroth continued to monitor the Warsong clan who was temporarily sent to the frontier with full expectation.

The Warsong clan has always valued glory on the battlefield, and in their view, it is an insult to have a great Warsong warrior do such drudgery and responsibility as logging.

However, the chief's orders must be strictly implemented, which is what Warsong Chief Grom meant, and the Warsong orcs could only vent their anger on the trees indignantly.

Not to mention, driven by emotions, the Warsong orcs felled wood very efficiently.

This is indeed a good thing for the tribe who desperately needs wood to build fortifications, but it doesn't hurt at all to stand on the side of the night elves from another angle.

Due to Sharlayan's advance notice, Cenarius did not actually appear near Ashenvale, but retreated to Mount Hyjal early to wait for Archimonde's arrival.

Left behind in the eastern part of Ashenvale is a partial division of the Sentinels, who patrol the border between Ashenvale and Azshara as a guerrilla force.

After discovering that a group of greenskins of unknown origin were cutting down the trees in Ashenvale, the nature-loving night elf sentinels naturally tried to stop their atrocities.

However...

First of all, there was a language barrier, and secondly, the reckless Warsong clan was worried that there was nothing to fight, and the night elf patrol happened to hit the muzzle of their guns.

In terms of individual combat effectiveness, a strong night elf is no worse than an orc without the blessing of demon blood, not to mention that the Warsong orcs are still at a low ebb after the demon blood subsides.

Although the number of night elves is small, the Warsong orcs, who have always been confident in their own strength, always feel aggrieved when fighting these tall purple elves. This is the first time they have been so suppressed by the enemy on the frontal battlefield. awful.

Many Warsong orcs even began to miss the "glorious" history of following the old tribe to destroy the Gorian Empire in Draenor and killing the Draenei wantonly.

Seeing that the Warsong orcs were still unable to gain the upper hand in the conflict with the night elves, and the progress of the logging task was seriously delayed by the harassment, Mannoroth, who felt that the time was ripe, finally came from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

Just when Mannoroth saw Grom and other Warsong orcs appearing in anger to lure them, the upheaval in Northrend on the Arctic continent officially kicked off.

At the same time, Sharlayan just finished his interview with Malfurion, and just received the first-hand information from Valeera from Felwood Forest.

"Anceron?"

Sharlayan rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "It's not unexpected. Next... we'll see how Illidan, who has heard the news, performs."

　Gan, there are a lot of things going on before the Spring Festival. The word count of the latest chapters may not be stable. I will try to write as much as possible.
