Chapter 1397 The Inescapable Swamp

Everyone is born to be a foodie.

The life of living like a baby and drinking blood sounds very heroic, but it is hard to live it until you live it.

Without oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, the hunted prey can only be eaten after being roasted. How does this compare to those cumin-laced barbecues from the Alliance?

The tribe suffered a disaster recently, and the alliance still provided food. When traveling across oceans, in order to reduce losses, canned food is of course the top priority.

In the tribal camp, Thrall watched with his own eyes how a newly adult tribal warrior selected his favorite flavor and then skillfully opened the can.

"Look, Orgrim. Now even those half-grown boys have learned to use can knives to open Alliance cans." Thrall sighed.

Orgrim was silent for a moment. Even though he was a dead man, he still felt a heavy sense of mission on his shoulders: "The Horde cannot defeat the Alliance, even if all the orcs in 'our world' are added."

If you fall behind, you will be beaten.

Thrall squeezed out the words through his teeth: "The Alliance is not using force now, but it is gradually doing what Terenas wanted to do but failed to do..."

Turn orcs into slaves.

In other words, completely assimilate the orcs, trolls, tauren and other races into the alliance.

This unstoppable trend is the most terrifying thing.

The Alliance has already led the Horde in all aspects of economy, military, politics and other fields. Coupled with the disparity in population and country size between the two sides, and the fact that the leader of the alliance is an immortal demigod, the tribe would have no chance at all under normal circumstances.

unless……

The two tribe bosses suddenly thought of each other. However, their eyes met for a moment and then immediately moved away from each other.

right! Unless the alliance changes drastically and suffers a disastrous defeat or something, it must be a shocking defeat on the level of Duke's death in battle and the collapse of the alliance.

But neither of them will forget the truth that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold.

If the Alliance suffers such a huge defeat, it will definitely be defeated at the hands of the Burning Legion. Perhaps this is an opportunity for the tribe to rise, but more likely, the tribe will be destroyed along with the alliance.

As long as the tribal leader is not stupid, he will never deliberately promote this ending.

"Oh! Try your best!"

Time enters November 2nd. On this day, good news finally came from the coalition forces.

Varian led half of the Alliance heroes to complete the killing of the Abyss Lord Magtheridon.

Two days later, the main force of the Horde captured the entire Hellfire Fortress.

At this point, the first step of the coalition's goal has been achieved.

There are two general directions before the coalition forces:

The first is to head west into Zangarmarsh. If the swamp can be opened, the coalition's options will become more abundant. They can turn north into the Blade's Edge Mountains, hunt down the traitors who betrayed the tribe, and finally go further north. [Void Storm] to eliminate all unstable factors. You can also go south in the swamp and enter Nagrand, where most of the normal orcs live.

The second is to enter Teroka Forest from the southwest. Completely open up contact with the Draenei, and then use Shattrath City as a base and transit point for supplies.

But the next march is not going to be easy. Because the Oakington area in the southern part of Terokkar Forest is in a state of complete disorder and out of control. There are a large number of undead creatures there, as well as Illidan's lackeys, as well as crows and so on.

Of course, you can directly attack Shadowmoon Valley from Shattrath City to the east, where Illidan's lair, the Dark Temple, is located. But this will run the risk of being copied. Because Vashchi can completely attack the coalition's supply lines.

No army can stand this kind of attack from both front and rear.

Unfortunately, the coalition forces couldn't get around it at all. Duke and his entourage had a smooth journey from the Fort of Glory, through the Thorn Rocks to Shattrath City. That was the premise that Naga didn't take action. Because on the way from Thorn Rock to Shattrath City, not far to the north is Lake Hilmiye. That lake is connected to Zangarmarsh.

The five kilometers by the waterside are absolutely dominated by Nagas.

At the coalition meeting, all the leaders of the alliance and tribe were worried.

"Don't you have Nagas in your alliance? How about letting them go into the swamp to fight with that Vashj?" Orgrim will never forget how the elite Blackstone clan under him twenty years ago were tortured to the point of crying in the sea. Call me mother. This is true in Nanhai Town, and it is also true in Wanghai Cliff in the Hinterlands.

Varian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have already asked. I also asked Duke about the naga."

"Duke refused?" Thrall asked.

"No, the point is, Duke thinks Vashj is probably a demigod. He doesn't have any good advice for us."

Now the big bosses all looked bad.

They are good at land combat, but they are barely good at air combat. When it comes to water battles, they can only be regarded as a group of salted fish shouting 666 from the side.

Even the [Underwater Breathing] magic is of no use. Are you going into the water wearing a tin can? There is no need to fight, it just sinks to the bottom of the water. Once the magic duration is over, you can only hit GG amidst the laughter and laughter of Naga.

"Can we only find a breakthrough from Terokkar?" Orgrim pondered.

Varian let out a breath: "Fandral! In the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Alliance Expeditionary Force, I order you to lead the Cenarion Expeditionary Force to establish an advance base just past the Thorns Territory. You find a way to deal with Gas. Qi’s Naga troops must contain her no matter what.”

Fandral Staghelm grimaced. Ever since Du made a small report before Ysera left, Fandral's position within the Cenarion Circle has become a bit precarious. Tyrande sent him to the Outland with a single order. Under double pressure, he had to give up.

Well, letting the druid deal with underwater creatures is theoretically correct. After all, only druids can transform into seals and have the ability to fight underwater.

Ignoring the constipated Fandral, the Alliance and the Horde began to discuss the defense of Terokkar. The final result of the discussion was that the Alliance should defend Lake Hilmiye in the northern part of the Terokkar Forest, be responsible for the transformation of Shattrath City, and Build a fortress at the entrance to Shadowmoon Valley to prevent Illidan's counterattack.

The Horde focused on attacking the Auchindoun region to open the road to Nagrand so that more orcs could join the coalition.

This plan does not seem fair at all. The alliance will have to divide its forces into multiple directions and the burden will be heavy.

When you lead, you have the responsibility to lead. The alliance is stronger now, that's the only way.

In Karazhan, Duke read the copy of the meeting report sent by Varian, threw it aside, and rubbed his brows.

"I didn't expect Vashj to be such a huge problem."

On the surface, once the road to Nagrand is opened, it is possible to lead a million tribesmen and ignore Vashj and go directly to the Dark Temple.

This is not the case.

In the Outlands, portals are quite unstable. Duke could at best open up a teleportation channel specifically leading to Shattrath City, but he could not guarantee a teleportation channel that would extend to the front line of Shadowmoon Valley.

Supplies are not guaranteed, and there is no hope that the frontline soldiers will have any combat effectiveness.

"We still have to deal with Vashj first!"
