Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 336: Conspiracy
Chapter 336 - Conspiracy
In fact, Orgrim, unwilling to accept defeat, did another thing: he sent Zuluhed's dragon riders to raid the Sunwell.
Unfortunately, nothing was accomplished.
The battle for Quel'Thalas ended abruptly.
The invading trolls were all wiped out, except for a few chieftain-level guys who escaped with the power of wind obtained from the Storm Altar. Not even a single egg was left. Even the troll chieftain Zul'jin was captured.
Quel'Thalas was even worse, with a preliminary count showing more than 80,000 soldiers and 200,000 civilians killed. One third of the most precious Eversong Forest was burned, but it was only God's help that changed the wind direction, otherwise it is still unknown what would have happened.
On the Alliance side, Duke's human army just carried out an armed march, and with the support of the demon spirits, they did not fight the Horde at all. The Wildhammer dwarves did have a fierce battle with the Red Dragon Knights of the Dragonmaw Clan. Kurdran and his mount Skarre were amazing, and the Wildhammer King killed 9 red dragons alone.
The Northland sentry tower prepared by Duke was not used either.
As the orcs withdrew from the borders of Quel'Thalas, they divided their forces.
The story also originated from the Sunwell.
"We can't get in!" Zuluhed complained to Orgrim. He seemed more annoyed than sorry for his poor performance: "Even the dragons can't do it."
Orgrim narrowed his eyes and listened intently.
Zuluhed emphasized loudly and shook his head vigorously: "I let my dragons spit out the last drop of saliva in their mouths to create dragon breath. Their flames have already covered the entire city. But so what? We are like fools grilling a stone. No matter how fierce the fire outside is, it will never reach the inside. I tried to let them rush in, but their claws were blocked by an invisible barrier."
"That's the Sunwell." Zuluhed was interrupted by Gul'dan: "It is the source of magic for the elves, providing them with endless energy. Fortunately, you didn't really break in, otherwise the elves with their backs to the Sunwell could cast spells almost infinitely and smash a thousand fireballs into your face."
Zuluhed was dumbfounded.
Orgrim fell into deep thought: It seems that I was right not to attack Silvermoon City by force. Even if the Horde gathered 100,000 people, it would not be enough to capture Silvermoon City. It must be after the Alliance is dealt with and all forces are mobilized to capture the fortress.
However, putting aside the tough issue of the elves for now does not mean that we will not have to deal with them in the future.
The endless large-scale magic arrays of the elves gave Orgrim, who was only good at fighting, a lot of headaches, especially after he knew that there was a Sunwell further north of Silvermoon City.
To conquer this world, the elves' Silvermoon City and the Sunwell are always obstacles that cannot be avoided.
"Is there any way to destroy it or drain its energy? Or can we control it instead? Or use the Altar of Storms to destroy their defenses?" Orgrim asked Gul'dan three questions in a row.
Gul'dan showed a sly smile on his face: "I don't know. I am willing to try, but I don't know how the Sunwell will work. The Storm Altar is made up of runestones unique to the elves, and their energy originally comes from the Sunwell. I can try to connect to the source of its energy through them and transfer my mana to it, and then destroy it or counter-control it. But Warchief... this will take time, a lot of time."
If it really succeeds, whether it is destruction or control, Orgrim knows which one Gul'dan will tend to choose even if he uses his toes to think.
Deep down, Doomhammer did not want Gul'dan to control such power, but it would be better to give the power of the Sunwell to Gul'dan than to leave it to the elves who wield mysterious magic beyond the orcs' imagination.
Gul'dan is an orc after all.
It was obvious that if Gul'dan retreated in a hurry, he would not have enough time to do various research.
Seeing Orgrim's hesitation, Gul'dan decided to add fuel to the fire. He bowed his head deeply in humility.
"Respected Warchief, we can't leave like this. I actually have another plan for Storm Altar, which will help the Horde speed up its conquest. I insist that it will be more beneficial to the Horde if my clan and I stay here for a while." Gul'dan tempted Orgrim in a low voice.
Orgrim frowned. He had always distrusted this short, ugly, and evil warlock. But the pressure from the magicians of humans and high elves on the Horde was too great, so he had to use Gul'dan. Without the warlock, the warriors of the Horde would just fall tragically and helplessly under those powerful magics like the trolls.
And he had to admit one thing - the two-headed ogres created by Gul'dan played a crucial role in the Battle of Quel'Thalas. It was the breakthrough of these strengthened ogres and Gronn that completely defeated the elves' huge arcane guards.
According to the latest news, humans have created something that breathes fire. And the fierce Grom Hellscream can't do anything about it.
The two-headed ogre mages were different. They could charge at the same time while using the Ice Shield. It was conceivable that without their help, the Horde would lose the ability to directly defeat the Alliance's defenses.
After thinking it over again and again, Orgrim finally nodded and said, "Do what you must do."
Worried, he added to Gul'dan: "But don't delay too long. We need to concentrate our superior forces to quickly capture Lordaeron."
After the orcs entered Azeroth through the Dark Portal, humans showed great resilience after overcoming the initial discomfort and repeated failures. Various tactics and new weapons against the orcs emerged one after another. If they still used the fierce attack method of Chieftain Blackhand when they first arrived in this world, the orcs would be wiped out in no time.
Humans are progressing, and orcs must also progress.
Arriving at the northern continent of the Eastern Kingdoms, that is, the continent of Lordaeron, Orgrim found that what he had to do had changed a lot. He began to pay more attention to intelligence.
If there was enough intelligence, the Horde would not have foolishly attacked the royal cities one by one, nor would it have foolishly crossed the entire continent to attack the farthest elven royal city just to gain an ally, the trolls.
The eight nations of the alliance have only just taken down Stormwind City. If they continue to attack one city after another, how long will it take?
Orgrim decided to revise the Horde's plan and attack the key point - the capital of Lordaeron.
"I won't be too late," Gul'dan assured Orgrim, grinning, "If that doesn't work, I can build another Storm Altar to strengthen the army and come right up."
