Grand Arcanist of Azeroth

Chapter 62 Siege of Eagle's Nest Mountain

The huge forest in the Hinterlands is similar to the Silvermoon Forest in the south of Quel'Thalas.

Surrounded by mountains, the forest coverage rate is close to [-]%.

Neither the Wildhammer dwarves nor the forest trolls have much need for wood.

When the orcs entered this area full of tall trees, it felt like entering a treasure trove.

Because it is a nomadic and hunting race.

During the long migration career, felling trees to build houses was frequent.

And many of their daily necessities are made of wood.

Logging has been carved into the bones of orcs.

Fortunately, these guys still have battles to fight.

Otherwise, they will soon start a daily routine of heavy logging.

The main city of the Wildhammer dwarves is not far from the exit of the hidden path.

Their main city is called the Eagle's Nest.

The origin of the name is that they carved a mountain to look like a squatting griffin.

The real main part of the main city, like Ironforge, goes deep into the mountain.

Ground troops wanting to attack the entrance to the city had to pass through the hillside guarded by a large number of pillboxes.

In addition to making friends with Griffins, the Wildhammer Dwarves also have a high level of firearms.

Although they are models of blind development behind closed doors.

The caliber of those old-fashioned artillery is quite amazing!

In order to deal with the elusive forest trolls, the Wildhammer dwarves equipped the bunker with old-fashioned cannons with a caliber of more than [-]mm.

Although the short-barreled artillery can't hit far, the shells fly two or three kilometers away.

But if a shell of this caliber explodes, it can flatten at least half a football field.

Every time the forest trolls attack the main city of the Wildhammer dwarves, they will collapse under the bombardment of cannons and the precise strikes of Griffin Riders.

They really don't know how to deal with this air-ground integrated attack.

The forest trolls in the Hinterlands forest, they were crushed and beaten by the Wildhammer dwarves in their home court.

This is something that frustrates them very much.

Zul'jin, who was resurrected under the arrangement of the god of death Bwonsamdi, came to this reserve base where a large number of forest trolls lived.

As the king of forest trolls, Zul'jin has a very strong appeal!
It only took a few days to gather an army of forest trolls with a strength of more than [-].

Then it took the initiative to form an alliance with the orcs, and suggested that the desperate orcs come to the Hinterland Forest to develop.

Both Orgrim and Gul'dan were fine with the suggestion.

The reason why the tribe lost so badly was mainly due to the bad things of the Griffin Knight of the Wildhammer dwarves.

Otherwise, the tribal army that displayed its true strength would certainly be able to easily destroy the human army.

Destroying the main city of the Wildhammer dwarves can deal a heavy blow to those Griffin Knights who are in the way!
The tribe that had gathered all their strength resolutely gave up the doomed South Sea Town, leaving behind the resurrected corpse of the first generation of death knights to block the coalition forces.

The undead army resurrected by the first generation of death knights has achieved the strategic goal of delaying the pace of the coalition forces.

Moreover, the marching speed of the coalition army is not as good as that of the hard-working orcs.

While the coalition forces were trekking hard on the road, the tribe's army had already reached the outskirts of Eagle's Nest Mountain.

Even the Griffin Rider hasn't rushed over yet.

The Horde army has plenty of time to attack the city.

Looking at the bunkers on Eagle's Nest Mountain, Orgrim felt a little tricky.

The huge artillery in the bunker is so big that an orc can be stuffed into it.

Orgrim knew a little about artillery, and could vaguely guess their power.

If the ground troops launch an intensive charge.

It's no problem to kill hundreds of people with one shot!

Thinking of the scene where the shells exploded in the crowd, Orgrim didn't dare to let his men go down to die.

"Pass down the order and let the red dragon burn those bunkers down!"

Hearing the chief's order, the herald in charge of communicating with the orc driver blew a horn to summon the orc driver to come down and explain the situation.

The orc driver waited here with the group of red dragons for a long time.

After receiving the order to destroy the bunker, the orc driver commanded the red dragon to launch a surprise attack without hesitation.

Gryphon Rider wants to stop these rogue swooping red dragons.

However, these brainless red dragons don't care about their own safety at all, and are determined to destroy the bunker.

The Griffin Knights who tried to stop them could only watch as these guys swooped down forcefully and spewed dragon fire that had been brewing for a long time at the bunker.

Blazing dragonfire poured into the bunker, charring the Wildhammer dwarven artillery and igniting the ammunition magazines that stored shells and gunpowder.

The violent explosion from the ammunition depot literally blew up the bunker to the sky!

The red dragon, which hadn't had time to leave, was swallowed by a huge fireball rising two 300 meters high.

Burned by flames for a short period of time, it has no effect on red dragons.

However, the shock wave generated by the explosion of the ammunition depot is very powerful!
Those red dragons that had just been engulfed by the flames were blown away by the shock wave in an instant, and then fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Due to the ultra-low-altitude flight, the red dragons with rough skin and thick flesh will not be seriously injured.

Although the Griffin Knights took the opportunity to attack fiercely, the probability of killing them was still very small.

The vitality of the parallel red dragon is also very strong!

When they recover, they can fly into the sky again and join other red dragons.

For these heavy tank-level air overlords, Griffon Knights who take the route of dexterity and magic attack are really a headache.

These parallel red dragons have the characteristic of magic immunity.

Magic attacks have no effect on them.

Although the stabbing and thunderbolt can hurt them, the damage caused is only flesh and blood wounds.

Unless a large number of Griffin Riders are besieging them, they cannot be killed smoothly.

Only a particularly strong griffin like Scarlet can pose a fatal threat to parallel red dragons.

But this particularly strong mutant griffin is very rare.

There is no second one to be found in the entire Hinterlands forest.

In the end, all the red dragons that destroyed the bunkers flew up smoothly.

Flat flak guns on the top of the mountain, trying to shoot down the red dragons that come into range.

However, several red dragons fled at full speed, and soon flew out of the effective range of the anti-aircraft guns.

The wildhammer dwarves are not ideally positioned to place their flak guns.

It's too late for them to regret it now!
The bunker on the hillside was destroyed by the red dragon, and the tribe's ground troops could attack in large scale.

Orcs who drank magic blood are green, and so are forest trolls.

These two green armies converged in a destructive green frenzy that stormed the gates of the Eagle's Nest.

All dwarves have big hearts.

The gate of the main city of the Wildhammer dwarves also did not close the gate in advance because of the enemy's attack.

When they feel the power of that green frenzy, they want to close the gate again.

How could those two thick rock gates more than ten meters high be easily closed?

Orgrim's air-to-ground raids were successful.

The Wildhammer dwarf had little time to react before being dragged into a gruesome ground-based hand-to-hand combat.

The orc warriors who fought hand-to-hand with the enemy finally showed their true strength.

The violent and bloodthirsty roar, the hideous and ugly big green face, are like a ghost running out of hell!

The orc warrior's big ax with a rough shape hit the big round shield with great force.

Those Wildhammer dwarven heavy infantry who were like iron cans were also a little unstable after being hacked by them.

However, the armor of orc warriors is not excellent.

The armor of troll warriors is even more crude.

The weapon of the Wildhammer dwarven heavy infantry, blessed with flame attack by the shaman, can effectively kill troll warriors.

Fire damage is also useful against orc warriors.

The strength of the spellcasters on both sides competed, and the Wildhammer dwarves, who had a large number of shaman priests, had an absolute advantage!
Even if the tribe has more troops, the tribe as a whole still suffers.
