Chapter 183 Bite Off a Piece of Meat
On the Horde side, Orgrim was also troubled.
Because a very important fulcrum in his plan, he couldn't open the gap for a long time.
The fulcrum is Garona, the female half-orc who was accidentally captured by Orgrim, who has a hard bone beyond Orgrim's expectations. Perhaps it has something to do with Garona's slave life since she was a child. Garona has an unimaginable endurance for pain.
The straightforward orcs are not good at torture, and all their torture methods are still above the simplest violence.
If Orgrim wanted to find out the location of the Shadow Council from Garona, he couldn't really kill Garona. The unborn Garona is not only surprisingly tough, but also seems to have a mysterious power in her body. Once Garona's vitality drops to a certain level, it will completely wrap Garona, even if Orgrim uses the [Doom Hammer] to hit her. Can't beat it.
When the mysterious half-orc's vitality and physical strength recovered to a certain level, Garona became the captive again.
The situation drove Orgrim mad.
He was indeed eager to overthrow the fucking Great Chief Black Hand to avenge his friend Durotan, but unfortunately, if he couldn't catch the Shadow Council and Gul'dan, even if he defeated the Great Chief, it would still be a typical symptom, not the root cause.
Once the Shadow Council, which hides in the dark like a poisonous snake, is activated, Orgrim's scalp will feel numb just thinking about the mysterious and strange power of the curse.
The only good news is that humans are beginning to lose their hold. Every day, more than a wave of orc commandos broke through the moat, and even crossed the urn and rushed up the city wall. If the humans hadn't formed a very elite emergency force to suppress the orcs' attacks with counter-charges and a large number of long-range attacks, the city might have been destroyed.
Orgrim is still struggling. As the first large alien kingdom encountered after crossing the portal, Stormwind Kingdom is definitely a supreme honor to capture its capital. If this honor was done by the current great chief, even if Orgrim succeeds in the challenge afterwards, most of the orcs in the tribe will still remember the former great chief.
Even if he came to power and achieved more brilliant victories in the future, the simple-minded orcs would still feel that he just stole the achievements of the black hand and followed the victory set by the black hand.
So many things, think about it for a while.
As the great chief of the 'later generations', apart from his overwhelming personal combat power, Orgrim's biggest feature is his brain. He is a rare great chief among the orcs, who is farsighted and ruthless to the point of utilitarianism.
When he is not absolutely sure to control everything, he will choose to endure.
However, on the twenty-fifth day of the siege, Orgrim was still sensitively aware that the human combat power had finally reached a critical point.
"You said that there are no more than 100,000 humans in Stormwind City?" Orgrim had a complicated reaction to the scout's report.
"Yes, when the wind and waves are calm, humans can probably evacuate 10,000 people a day. But a few days ago, there were heavy winds and heavy rains, and the evacuation of humans has almost stalled." The scout captain reported this.
Orgrim was in pain. If humans didn't have so many tricks, just relying on that low city wall, the tribe would be able to break through the city in two or three days. At that time, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were arrested. Instead of less than 100,000 now. The tribe doesn't have to take the lives of more than 20,000 warriors and 70,000 to 80,000 orcs during this period.
Thinking of this, Orgrim was extremely heartbroken.
From the very beginning, human beings were helpless to fight back, but now they are full of tricks in every attack and defense, causing the tribe's losses to continue to expand. Although those simple-minded guys in the tribe still think that humans are vulnerable waste, Orgrim is very clear that if too many humans are released here, the tribe may pay more than double the price for eliminating these humans in the future .
Can't wait!
No matter how much the price is paid, this army in the rear of the other party must be wiped out here. If the vitality of human beings cannot be eliminated in a true sense, this army that has experienced the flames of war will become the biggest trouble for the tribe in the future.
Thinking of this, Orgrim has no hesitation, he wants to give advice to the chief, and launch a general attack tonight.
At the same time, in Stormwind Fortress.
The few people who controlled the fate of the Stormwind Kingdom gathered together.
Duke said softly: "The tribal attack will be tonight."
Ryan looked up suddenly: "Are you sure?"
"The tribe touched my line of defense to observe the scouts in Stormwind Harbor. I let them go on purpose." Duke's understatement gave people a strong feeling that everything was under Duke's control.
Lothar took a deep breath: "Indeed, the last 50,000 people are already the minimum number of troops needed to defend the walls of Stormwind City."
Bovar suddenly raised his head, looked at Duke, and then at Ryan: "Your Majesty, I still strongly recommend that you evacuate with the last batch of ships this evening! You are the king of the Stormwind Kingdom, you..."
"Enough! Bolvar!" King Ryan suddenly stopped the loyal Bolvar: "Since Duke said that he is sure to send us away at the last moment, why should we hesitate! I can't accept that I look like a coward Leave the people who trusted me and flee! Varian has been sent to Southshore if you want to secure a king in Stormwind."
This kind of remark is already very serious, and it is almost heart-wrenching. Bovar almost risked his life to remonstrate. His words are undoubtedly a vote of no confidence in Duke who has been reluctant to come up with the final plan.
"Sorry, Duke, Bolvar, he just..." Ryan scolded Bolvar, and immediately turned to apologize to Duke.
"No, this is my problem, and I shouldn't have made your majesty part of the plan."
"No——Duke, you are right! You have fully explained to me the risks I will encounter. The big deal is that I, the king of mourning, will die for my country. No, it should be said that if this plan does not succeed, I would rather die To die for my country, I really don't have the face to beg for alms from those guys like a bereaved dog."
Ryan suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the most loyal courtiers including Bovar. Everyone saw the will to die in Ryan's eyes.
Wise and great, this has always been Ryan's label.
But few people would have thought that Ryan would be so stubborn as to be unyielding.
Many people may think that losing to a powerful orc is not such a shameful thing, but they ignore the feelings of a king who is determined to make great achievements but has to give up his capital and the thousand-year foundation of his ancestors.
Duke also lamented that in "history", Lothar was forced to take the little prince Varian into exile because of Ryan's assassination and the fall of Stormwind City.
Now the "history" has changed slightly, but the strength of the orcs has not changed. If it weren't for him, Duke, maybe Ryan would still die here.
"Well, as long as you listen to me, I can guarantee that even if Stormwind falls, I can still bite off a piece of flesh from those green-skinned monsters."
