Chapter 461：

Sabek shook his head.

"I don't know." He replied. "But we can't cross that mountain road anymore. I send soldiers every day to guard another mountain road besides Broken Ridge, but none of the soldiers sent there today came back."

His meaning is clear, those people should have returned long ago.

"Damn it." Doomhammer gritted his teeth. "It must be another coalition army occupying there."

He also thought of the warrior Mograine who was blocking the kingdom of Lordaeron and Alterac with just a few hundred people.

Perhaps Lordaeron's reinforcements also came, and the soldier who had not died in their hands chased after them with reinforcements.

Yes, this is the most likely scenario.

Lothar set out from the Hillsbrad Hills. He and his army were walking the way the Horde came, so Lordaeron's army may have taken the road to the north and controlled the mountain area.

In any case, none of these can change the current dilemma.

"He got here from that mountain road, when will they arrive?" he asked.

Thabek shrugged.

"It's hard to tell." He mentioned. "But it should be at least half a day, or even further away."

He looked around.

"We still have a lot of fighters here." Sabek said. "We can have more when Gul'dan returns here, and we will definitely be able to capture this town before these chasers arrive."

Doomhammer smiled bitterly, he was still thinking.

"Others? Others won't come!"

Thabek looked very surprised at this.

"Gul'dan betrayed us." Doomhammer told his assistant, describing what happened with difficulty. "He took an army away, and halfway after chasing the cavalry, he took the opportunity to escape."

"But why did he do this?" Thabek asked, very confused. "If we lose this war, we will have no place, including himself."

Doomhammer shook his head.

"He never cared about this war." He recalled the scene when he saw the warlock in Stormwind.

"He seems to have found something, something very powerful." He remembered vaguely. "This thing can make him so strong that he doesn't need the protection of the tribe."

"Then what should we do?" Sabek asked, and he looked back at the city.

"So we won't have enough troops to attack here." He mentioned.

Doomhammer didn't want to look over there, he knew his assistant was right.

The city was much stronger than he thought, and its defenders were also very tenacious.

The coalition's surprise attack from their rear also caused their troops to be attritions a lot.

Moreover, none of them can fight the wizard in the city now.

This was not the only thing weighing on his heart. Gul'dan's betrayal was extremely sinister, and he took other orcs away. They regard their personal purpose more importantly than the entire tribe, and they put their own desires above the needs of their people.

And this was what drove Doomhammer to kill the black hand in order to gain control of the tribe. He wanted to end this fall and let his people regain the honor.

This betrayal will never be forgiven, no matter what price it will cost the Horde and Doomhammer himself.

But now, Orgrim had to find a way to keep his team alive.

Item 0598

I have to admit that, as the warchief of the tribe, Orgrim is indeed a very decisive leader.

After realizing that his army was not strong enough to break through the town in front of him, Orgrim did not hesitate to give up and continue to attack the city. Even if the Keldaron in front of him was almost crumbling, he did not receive any temptation.

He deeply knew that without Gul'dan's constraints, no matter how brave his soldiers were, they couldn't resist the powerful human mage in the city.

The power of magic is always beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Since it was impossible to return to the Arathi Highlands through the road of Keldaron County, and the road was blocked by the Alliance army, Orgrim had only one road left.

That is mountain climbing.

It is not a detour around the rugged mountain road, but a real climb and walk out from a place where there is no road.

If they stay and confront the Alliance head-on, Orgrim clearly knows that there is only one ending for them, and that is all destruction.

Entering the mountains of Alterac and finding a way from a place where there is no way, it is possible to retain their vitality to the greatest extent.

If the road in Keldaron County was immediately opened in front of them, 90% of this army could return to the Arathi Highlands alive.

Then, in order to circumvent the obstacles of the Alliance and forcibly find a way, perhaps less than 50% of the orcs can return smoothly.

Although as a warchief, Doomhammer is quite reluctant to face such a loss.

However, even he had to admit that this was the best result, and otherwise, they had no choice.

In the town of Keldaron County, the soldiers looked at the orcs receding like a tide and couldn't help but sighed in relief, and they all sat down on the ground.

The continuous attacks from the orcs just now made them almost unbearable.

If it hadn't been for the will to defend their homeland and the assistance of Ye Ting and a kind of strong man, they could hardly sustain it.

Now, after the orcs left and their breath vented, they felt the soreness and exhaustion all over their bodies.

Some soldiers even fell asleep on the wall just holding their weapons.

The departure of the orc also caused Ye Ting to interrupt the magic that had been condensing.

Seeing Orgrim's departure direction, Ye Ting thought for a while and understood where they were going.

Just as I said before.

The orcs had no choice, not only Doomhammer knew this, even Ye Ting could see it.

However, the Alterac mountains were so big that even he couldn't accurately grasp the whereabouts of the orcs, so he didn't even think about tracking them.

Anyway, Orgrim will always return to the main tribe of Arathigao, and he has no worries about finding this goal in the future.

As for now, maybe Keldaron County doesn't need him to do anything anymore. At this time, don't take the opportunity to be lazy and wait.

...

Soon after these orcs left, the cavalry led by Lothar and Alleria appeared under the town of Keldaron County. They seemed to want to kill a carbine and inflict heavy damage on the tribe. Unfortunately, the tribe had long since escaped. After searching to no avail, they could only go to the city and take a break.
