Chapter 227: Dun Morogh under the flames of war

Chapter 227 Dun Morogh under the flames of war

Orgrim originally planned to quickly wipe out the resistance in this new world, so that the orcs could get a relatively stable new home.

It is precisely because of this that he led his troops northward immediately after initially consolidating the Stormwind Kingdom's territory, trying to take advantage of the lack of preparation of the various races in Azeroth to beat them all.

However, just as he discussed with his friend Durotan, the fel magic of the warlocks is eroding the surrounding land all the time. The same as the original hometown.

Angry from the heart, Orgrim immediately launched the holy Mak'gora to the puppet warchief Blackhand after Gul'dan was unconscious.

Once this traditional heads-up ceremony initiated by orcs for glory and status is proposed, the challenged person has no right to refuse, otherwise he will be expelled from the tribe as a contempt for glory.

During the duel, the two parties cannot wear armor, and can only carry a weapon for one-on-one fighting. During the process, no spells can be used, otherwise it will be regarded as a blasphemy against tradition (the final duel between Thrall and Garrosh was Makgoll used the power of the elements in violation of the rules and was gradually abandoned by the elements).

The Black Hand, who was originally stronger than Orgrim under the infusion of Gul'dan's fel energy, was greatly reduced after Gul'dan was in a coma, and was finally defeated by Orgrim in Mak'Gora. The orcs willingly respected Orgrim is the new warchief.

Orgrim, who became the great chief, immediately obtained information from the torture of Garona, and almost killed all the hidden shadow council warlocks. Considering that Gul'dan's help may be needed in this strange world Knowing that, he temporarily held back his friend's hatred and left him with his life.

Orgrim was born in the Blackrock clan, which has always been one of the most powerful clans among the orcs due to its powerful forging skills and large number of people.

Because he has also participated in forging in the Blackstone Foundry many times in his hometown of Gorgrond, Orgrim knows the importance of ore supply and weapon quality.

When they went north and passed the Black Rock Mountain, the orcs accidentally met a dark-skinned short race under the introduction of Gugall. In the subsequent communication, they called themselves black iron dwarves.

He still doesn't know the purpose of these dwarves, but it is said that the great master behind them is willing to provide some assistance to the orcs. Although Orgrim is still vigilant, the forward base of Blackstone Abyss provided by the dwarves is indeed very important. Taking advantage of the situation, he agreed to the kindness of this group of black iron dwarves.

Under the malicious guidance of the Dark Iron Dwarf King Dagran Thaurissan, he learned that Dun Morogh, a snow-capped mountain, was rich in mineral resources, which was just in line with Orgrim's plan.

So he continued to lead the tribe all the way north into the Daxue Mountain area, and attacked the city all the way to attack all the outer territories of the copperbeard dwarves and dwarves.

"Huh! Although I don't know what the group of black iron dwarves are planning, it seems that the information they gave is true."

Seeing the high-quality iron ore in his hand, Orgrim opened his mouth and laughed, then he turned his head and ordered, "Continue to attack! Try to take down the capital of the copperbeard dwarves. According to the black iron king, these The forging skills of the copperbeard dwarves are quite good, we want to enslave them to produce weapons for the tribe!"

"Roar!"

However, Orgrim's confident attack encountered a huge setback outside the gate of Ironforge. The orcs were helpless in the face of the gray fortifications erected in front of the gate of Ironforge. The reinforcements that were transferred—the ogre had nothing to do with that kind of solid stone pier.

Muradin Bronzebeard sniffed at the greenskins who temporarily stopped attacking in the distance, then turned to his third brother Brian and said, "The new building material that Charlemagne asked us to fire is really useful. It's a pity that the output is not high due to time constraints."

Brian happily patted the gray stone pier in front of him and laughed loudly, "That's right! But it's enough to block the orcs here and prevent them from entering the city."

Brian, who was originally stationed in Uldaman, withdrew to Ironforge not long after Charlemagne left, and the group of black iron dwarves fled back to Blackstone Mountain in embarrassment for some unknown reason.

However, according to Brian's observations before he left, it seemed that he had vaguely seen some flying black dragons above the scorching canyon.

The gray new building material that Muradin and Bryan mentioned is naturally the cement that the traverser Charlemagne only thought of making under the threat of the orc invasion last year.

It is actually not difficult to fire this high-quality building material. You only need to use limestone, clay and hematite, and burn lime at a high temperature of 1,000 degrees Celsius.

The dwarves who have been dealing with various mineral resources all year round obviously will not lack these materials. Although they were a little dubious at first, King Magni believed that Charlemagne would not be indiscriminate, so he specially asked his third brother Brian to guard the burning lime.

After many attempts, this new building material came out in Azeroth. Subsequent tests proved that this material, which is easy to carry, solidifies quickly, and extremely strong, is extremely versatile.

Out of the protection of the Quel'Thalas environment and the delivery of materials, Charlemagne handed over the firing work to the dwarves, and the two sides have also transported this material many times in the official trade routes that have been opened.

Bryan touched the rough structure of the stone pier with some regret and sighed, "It's a pity...the orcs came too fast, otherwise we can try the steel bars that Charlemagne said...what kind of soil?"

Muradin slapped the third brother on the head funnyly, "It's reinforced concrete. According to Charlemagne, the use of this structure will be stronger than simply using cement and bricks."

It is also not difficult to make advanced products of this kind of cement. The method has been taught to the dwarves by Charlemagne, and he has also started to use reinforced concrete structures to strengthen the walls of his own distant travel village in China.

Due to the high performance of cement, the dwarves did not immediately invest in better reinforced concrete structures. They did not expect the orcs to leave the Stormwind Kingdom they had just occupied so quickly and continue northward.

Coincidentally, the Thunder King clan sent by Orgrim to attack the dwarf capital city Gnomeregan also suffered setbacks. These little men also used cement to build a very strong defense line, hiding behind the defense line, they can calmly invent themselves. Many of the long-range weapons in the field were tested on the orcs one by one.

It also includes the artillery tank that Charlemagne once mentioned... But today's artillery steam tank looks quite strange. The lower body still looks like the weird steam tank before, but a cannon is rigidly installed on the upper half.

Although it is not bad to use, the recoil generated by each shot of the unstable artillery made Mekkatorque feel a little scared. It seems that the dwarf's research and development of this tank still needs time to perfect.
