Chapter 30 The Problem of Hammerfall

Arathi Highlands is a relatively closed area, and there are only three ways to reach this highland. The Wall of Thoradin, the Faldir Bay, and the Sardor Bridge built by the dwarves in the south of Arathi Highlands.

Today, these three places are firmly controlled by the Kingdom of Stormgard, and it is difficult for foreign enemies to invade Arathi Highlands.

After obtaining the surrender of Duke Falcurest, Galen Trollbane turned his attention to the land outside Arathi Highlands, that is, the area where Stormgard Kingdom can expand - Hillsbrad Foothills.

The alliance between the Syndicate and the Stonefist Ogres made Galen Trollbane decide that before expanding, the last hidden danger in Arathi Highlands must be solved, that is, the orc outpost, Hammerfall.

Hammerfall, formerly the only orc internment camp in Arathi Highlands, is the fifth internment camp liberated by the new tribe. Here, the old tribe chieftain Orgrim died in battle. Before his death, he gave the Hammer of Destruction and the black plate armor to Thrall, heralding the birth of the new tribe.

It can be said that Hammerfall has an incomparable significance for the new tribe, and they will never give it up easily.

Before, the Kingdom of Stormgarde was troubled by internal and external troubles, and its own strength was insufficient. In addition, there was the threat of the Scourge, so Galen Trollbane would send the food of the Witherwood Trolls in Witherwood Village to the orcs in Hammerfall to prevent the other party from attacking the Gorshak Farm again due to food shortage.

This time, Galen Trollbane directly mobilized 30,000 Stromgarde militia troops and brought engineering facilities. If the orcs in Hammerfall were unwilling to leave Arathi Highlands, they could only risk offending the new tribe and forcibly take down Hammerfall.

Anyway, the new tribe will need a few years to develop again.

Hammerfall has 50,000 orcs, which is more in number than the 30,000 Stromgarde militia troops. However, among the 50,000 orcs, there are only more than 10,000 real warriors. Although the remaining orcs are strong, their combat effectiveness is not particularly strong.

With more than 10,000 orc warriors and more than 30,000 mature orcs, the elite 30,000 Stromgarde militia can still conquer the city, not to mention that they have the heroic warrior Galen Trollbane, the paladin Rex Doom and the archmage Ansrem Ruinwivor, two ninth-level warriors. According to the previous intelligence on Hammerfall, there is only one ninth-level warrior at most.

Hammerfall is located in the northeast of Arathi Highlands. It used to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, otherwise the tribe would not have paid such a high price to capture it.

However, since the orcs changed the shelter to Hammerfall, they have not had time to repair the defense facilities of Hammerfall. They just used the dock to roughly block the previous gap.

Without complete defense facilities, even with the advantage of the high ground, it is difficult to resist the well-prepared 30,000 Stromgarde militia.

Thirty thousand Stromgarde militia surrounded Hammerfall, but did not launch an attack immediately. Relying on his heroic warrior strength, Galen Trollbane rode to the gate of Hammerfall alone.

The orcs of Hammerfall did not shoot arrows when Galen Trollbane was alone. Orcs value honor in battle, and they would not do that.

However, with his eyesight, Galen Trollbane could still see the angry eyes of the orcs on the wall of Hammerfall, wishing to tear him into pieces.

"I am Galen Trollbane, the prince of the Kingdom of Stormgarde and the ruler of Arathi Highlands. I have only one purpose for coming here today, which is to hope that you can leave Arathi Highlands and move away from Hammerfall. If possible, I don't want to be your enemy. The orc warriors of Hammerfall have 30,000 elite Stromgarde militias behind me. We have fought countless times as early as 20 years ago. I think you should understand that if you refuse, we will be the only ones who will win in the end.

I understand the tradition of the orcs. I am willing to launch Mak'gora and fight a fair battle with the orcs of Hammerfall!

If I win, the orcs will move out of Hammerfall and immediately go to Arathi Highlands. I will not embarrass you.

If you win, then I swear by the honor of the Trollbane family that Hammerfall will always be the territory of the tribe from now on."

Galen Trollbane's words made the orcs of Hammerfall obviously stunned. They didn't expect that Galen Trollbane, a human, would know Mak'gora.

On the surface, Galen Trollbane respects the tradition of the orcs and tries to avoid bloody battles between the two tribes as much as possible. He is a human who attaches great importance to honor.

However, only Galen Trollbane knows that he dares to say this because he knows that all the powerful orcs of the tribe are now in Kalimdor. Otherwise, any powerful orc hero-level warrior is not something that Galen Trollbane, who has just broken through to the hero level, can deal with.

The new tribe is now at its strongest. The chief of the Warsong clan, the powerful god-killer Grommash Hellscream, is still alive, and the Saurfang brothers are also there. Any of these three can easily crush Galen Trollbane.

However, the one who came out of Hammerfall was not the strong ninth-level orc warrior, but a blind old orc with white hair and beard.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Galen Trollbane trembled directly. He knew this blind old orc, that is Drek'Thar, the great shaman of the Frostwolf clan, a real hero-level warrior.

This shouldn't happen. Drek'Thar should have followed the new Horde Warchief Thrall to Kalimdor. He stayed in Kalimdor until the Battle of Durotar. Why is he appearing in Hammerfall now?

Don't look at Drek'Thar's old age, and he is an elemental shaman. You must know that this is a strong man who has been addicted to the heroic level for decades, and the elements of Arathi Highlands are extremely active. Garin Trollbane is really no match for him.

The only good thing is that Drek'Thar had no intention of taking action. Instead, he raised his head and said to Garin Trollbane, "Prince Garin Trollbane, I am the prophet of the Frostwolf clan. Rek'tar, since you know Mac'gora, you must know the history of our orcs. Hammerfell is the place where our former warchief Orgrim Doomhammer fell, and so does my Frostwolf Sharp Ears. Died here, there are countless orc souls under this land, we must not give up here easily. "

"Of course I understand, but Prophet Drek'Thar should also understand that the Arathi Highlands are the territory of the Kingdom of Stromgard. How can we allow others to snore in this place? Hammerfell is a thorn pierced into Stromgard. I must pull out the spikes in the body of the German Kingdom. I think you also understand. "Shaman priests are the wisest group of orcs among the orcs, not to mention Drektar is one of the few shamans called prophets. Of course he can understand this.

Prophet Drek'Thar understands that Garin Trollbane will never retreat at all. If the Kingdom of Stromgarde wants to revitalize, it must completely control the Arathi Highlands.

If he were a strong orc hero-level warrior, he would probably be defeated by Garlin Trollbane, but the prophet Drek'Thar believed that the 50,000 orcs in Hammerfell were more important.
