Volume 7: Battle for Azeroth Chapter 371: Siege
In the next few days, Stormwind City became extremely lively inside and outside.
All the clan chiefs perked up, because this time it was time to dispatch troops.
The orc society is made up of many large and small clans, so dispatching troops actually means assigning different clans to different clans.
However, there are huge differences between clans, so whether or not a sufficiently strong legion can be established depends on the strength of the clan to which you are assigned.
Orgrim attached great importance to this division of troops and personally participated in the whole process of assigning clan combinations.
As the head of the Abyss Legion, Ner'zhul was assigned to two medium-sized clans, the Laughing Skull Clan and the Bone Chewing Clan. Both clans were large in size and were the backbone of the tribe, but there was nothing special about their strength. Ner'zhul didn't care about these. For him, as long as they were obedient, that was enough.
As the leader of the evil orc army, Grog Evil Eye got the Howling Clan and the Black Scar Clan. These two clans were also not very famous, but they had a large number of people.
Grog Evil Eye didn't care too much about this. The absence of powerful characters meant that it would be easier to recruit and absorb them. His goal was to be the guide of the Burning Legion, so it was appropriate for the orc clan assigned to him to be a weaker one.
Next was Kilrogg Deadeye of the Blood God's Legion. Since the Bleeding Hollow clan itself was well preserved, Orgrim did not assign too many troops to him and only assigned the remnants of the Shattered Hand clan to him. Kilrogg Deadeye complained about this, but there was nothing he could do because the siege of Ironforge was not fought well and he had no credit, so it was difficult to say anything.
Next was Rend Blackhand of the Iron Legion. Orgrim was quite generous to him and assigned half of the Blackrock Clan's troops to him, and also assigned the White Claw Clan to Rend Blackhand.
Rend Blackhand was so overjoyed that he was almost crying for joy.
Next, it’s the highlight.
Orgrim was surprisingly generous this time and allocated troops to the leader of the dragon army, the Dragonmaw Chieftain Nekros, including the Thunderlord Clan, the Fireblade Clan, the Bladewind Clan, and the Thunderblade Clan.
Four clans were assigned to Nekros at once.
These four clans are not very large in scale, but they are almost all powerful clans among the orcs. The Thunderlord Clan is the most powerful hunter among the orcs, and the Saurfang brothers are from this clan.
Not to mention the Fire Blade Clan, the inheritance of the earliest orc swordmaster came from here.
The Bladewind clan are all fearless warriors.
The Thunderblade Clan is also very legendary. The Thunderblade Clan's glory ceremony requires that orc warriors must be struck by lightning more than three times in a thunderstorm at the highest peak of the Blade Blade Mountains to obtain the title of Sword Master.
The addition of these four clans instantly increased the strength of the Dragon Legion.
This made the leaders of other legions wonder whether Orgrim had some unspeakable secret with Nekros.
Finally, there is the Draenor Legion led by Ruthless Tyrant. Since the Ruthless Tyrant Clan is the weakest, it receives the most support. Not only do more than a dozen clans, large and small, join in (almost all of them are small clans established by players), but also a portion of the Gurabus Trolls, Stonemaul Ogres, and Rustwater Goblins are sent to Ruthless Tyrant.
This made Badao Wuqing overjoyed. You know, there are several standards to become an official faction. The faction must be [very powerful], have three or more main cities, and at least four affiliated races.
Before, Badao Wuqing was worried that there would not be enough allied races when he went to Draenor, which would cause problems in inheriting the position of the chief. Now, this problem has been solved in one go.
This time, Badao Wuqing almost knelt down to Orgrim - Great Chief, you are so righteous.
As the six legions gradually completed their work, it was time to set off.
Six armies of nearly 300,000 people left Stormwind City and headed for the territories they wanted to develop.
Standing on the top of Stormwind City, watching the mighty army leaving, Orgrim also let out a long sigh.
The next step is the final step of the plan. The alliance’s army will surely be arriving soon.
…
Orgrim's guess was correct.
While the troops were being divided inside Stormwind, the Alliance continued to gather more troops and began to march southward by sea.
Relying on the Kul Tiras Navy Fleet and the Lordaeron Royal Navy Fleet, the two powerful fleets transported the Alliance army from the Menethil Port in the Wetlands, across the vast ocean, and landed directly at the Wind Island Port in the Western Wilds.
Although the Western Wilderness was previously occupied by tribes, there have always been a large number of guerrillas active in the wilderness, mines, and mountains.
Even during the war, there were several medium-scale battles with the local orc garrisons.
At this time, as the alliance fleet landed at Fengyu Port, various rebel forces came to join in and assisted the coalition forces to immediately launch a counterattack.
What surprised Duke Lothar, who was commanding the landing operation, was that the local orc garrison was extremely weak and had no intention of stopping their actions.
After only a few scouting-scale engagements, the landing was successful.
As more Alliance troops arrived, hundreds of thousands of troops were quickly assembled in the Western Wilderness and marched towards Stormwind City in a mighty force.
Marshal Lothar was prepared for a fierce battle, but to his surprise he did not encounter any orc army along the way and arrived at Stormwind City smoothly.
It was not until the army arrived at Stormwind City and saw the densely packed orc defenders on the city walls that they finally felt they had found the enemy.
What surprised everyone was that the Horde actually took a defensive stance, with 200,000 orcs all crowded in Stormwind City, with no intention of leaving the city to fight in the field.
Duke Lothar was not in a hurry to attack the city. He waited until the various legions arrived one after another and the Alliance army surrounded Stormwind City.
On the sea, there were the Kul Tiras naval fleet and the Lordaeron fleet, and on land, there were 500,000 troops from various countries. This force directly surrounded the main force of the tribe .
The orcs in Stormwind still did not react.
This really surprised the alliance leaders.
The tribe’s strategy is too rigid . Hundreds of thousands of troops are crowded in a city waiting to be surrounded.
Murphy had already learned about the orcs' large-scale division from the Internet, and was speechless about Orgrim's strategic arrangement.
He actually wanted to defend Stormwind City for a whole year and then wait for the six armies to come back to rescue. This idea is unique. It is even more unbelievable that Orgrim arranged for Ruthless to be the successor to the chieftain.
But if you can't figure it out, forget it. Anyway, this is good news for the Alliance. It's a good opportunity to wipe out the main force of the tribe in one battle.
It's good news for him too.
The Alliance players were excited when they thought that the Horde Chieftain Orgrim was in this city.
If he could kill Orgrim with his own hands, it would be an absolute achievement.
In this enthusiastic atmosphere, the siege began.
