Chapter 148 Orc Camp

After talking about personal matters, now it’s time to talk about business.

Lothar sat upright and said, "In the second half of this year, the orcs have been active on the border quite frequently. Half a month ago, I had a direct battle with an orc from the Broken Hand Clan. Their individual combat strength was higher than ours. I barely managed to repel them by using a three-person cooperative formation!"

"The orcs are stronger than our soldiers. Except for high-ranking knights, our soldiers are no match for them in a one-on-one battle."

Garin recalled the big G in the game, that is, the orc infantry. Their health points were 700 points, while the human infantry, the largest number under Garin's command, had an initial health value of only 420 points, and they could not win in a one-on-one fight.

"But I found that this group of orcs don't seem to understand how to fight in a large group. They are disorganized and undisciplined, and they only charge forward in a swarm when a battle begins!"

Lothar directly pointed out the shortcomings of the orcs. At least during the period when Blackhand Blackhand was the chief, the orcs' fighting style had always been like this. The Stormwind Kingdom also barely remained undefeated because of the good coordination of its soldiers.

Just after Orgrim overthrew Blackhand and became the Warchief, the orcs, under the leadership of Orgrim, the excellent commander, broke through Stormwind City, and then marched all the way to occupy the dwarf kingdom and overwhelm the northern countries.

"This is a good breakthrough point. My scouts discovered that there is a large orc camp in the northeast of the Swamp of Sorrows. There are at least 5,000 orcs in it. This time I brought more than 10,000 elite troops from Stormwind City, ready to destroy this orc outpost camp in one fell swoop!"

The war is about to begin!

After all, no one can tolerate an enemy forward base that is only a few days away from the border of one's own country. No matter how many orcs there are and how strong they are, it is always right to destroy this camp.

In September of the first year after the Dark Portal, the spring wheat in Stormwind Kingdom had been harvested. The country had a strong army and sufficient food and grass. Sir Lothar organized more than 10,000 elite troops and more than 3,000 private armies of nobles, plus more than 600 elite troops from Stromgarde in the north and Lordaeron, and marched into the Deadwind Valley in a mighty manner. They would cross this mountainous area from west to east and reach the Swamp of Sorrows in the east.

The border of Stormwind Kingdom has been harassed by orcs for more than half a year, and villages are often attacked by unknown creatures. Every time some villagers are captured, Lothar is busy running around to put out fires.

Now that we know the location of the orc outpost, how can we tolerate this?

Fuck you!

For this siege, Lothar was well prepared. The grain had just been harvested, and the vast farmland in the fertile west meant that Lothar did not have to worry about logistical supplies. Also, this was a home battle, and the assassin leader of Stormwind Kingdom, Bretonnia Shaw, had already fully discovered the deployment of the orc camp, the guard force, and the surrounding terrain.

Fourteen thousand versus five thousand!

With logistical advantages, numerical advantages and intelligence advantages, Losa was filled with pride and felt that victory seemed to have arrived.

It is very difficult for an army of more than 10,000 people to hide their whereabouts, so Losa had no intention of hiding. He just reorganized the troops and advanced along the road.

If you think Lothar is fearless, you are wrong. He takes the threat of orcs more seriously than anyone else. That is why Bretonnia Shaw leads the royal spies of Stormwind Kingdom to open the way ahead and clear out the orc scouts. Once the orc scouts are cleared out, they will become blind and deaf.

On the evening of the third day, they arrived at a high slope five kilometers away from the orc base.

The orcs were very arrogant. According to Bretonnia Shaw, they basically did not encounter many scouts and shadow professionals along the way. She even guessed that these beasts did not have the profession of scouts.

Garen did not agree with this point. At least he knew that there was a group of assassins under the Shadow Council led by Gul'dan, the most famous of whom was the orc Garona.

But it’s a good thing to have no danger along the way.

Garin followed Lothar and Medivh and stood on a high place looking at the orc camp. At this moment, puffs of green smoke were rising in the camp, and it seemed that they were boiling water and cooking to prepare breakfast.

With the help of Garin's engineering telescope, the three carefully observed the details of the orc camp.

“Nice creation!”

This is a compliment to the telescope.

"The perfect war creature!"

This is about orcs.

When Jialin heard the second sentence, a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Oh my god, could it be that Sargeras' soul was controlling Medivh's body just now?

Should I take a leak?

"Maddie, don't boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige. This time, all the orcs in this camp must die!"

Over the past six months, the tragic deaths of people in villages and towns across the border made Lothar hate the orcs so much that he wanted to kill them immediately.

Garin breathed a sigh of relief, then used a telescope to carefully search the flags in the camp. Fortunately, although the markings on many flags looked like scribbles, at least none of them looked familiar to him.

It looks like the camps of several small clans. As long as they are not the seven major tribes of orcs, this battle will be much easier to fight. After all, the Seven Heroes of Draenor are not made of paper.

After a while, orcs returned to the camp from the depths of the Sad Swamp one after another. They were carrying crocodiles and swamp tigers unique to the swamp. They were a hunting team, and it seemed that they had returned with a full load. The orcs in the tents also woke up and began to appear in the camp.

The estimated number of orcs is around 5,000, which is consistent with the information from the scouts.

Lothar turned around and asked the herald to prepare the main force to launch an attack at any time.

Garen also returned to his team. Uther, Dathrohan and Tirion were already waiting for him here. The mission of their more than 400 knights and more than 50 paladins was to raid the enemy's right wing.

The Iron Horse Brotherhood, led by Gavinrad, attacked from the left wing.

Lothar leads a large army to fight head-on!
