Warcraft Eternal Tree - Chapter 600
c600 Cairne Bloodhoof captured
The orcs’ defeat was doomed when Grom sneaked out of City 13 and tried to attack the blood elf magicians.
If Grom had not done what he did, which led to his own fall at the hands of the blood elves, then even if the blood elf hero could control Cairne Bloodhoof so that he could not cast Echo Slam, Grom, as a swordmaster, could also roll up a blade storm to open up the situation for the orcs.
But now Grom is dead, and Cairne Bloodhoof is trapped under the “care” of Chaos Knights and blood mages. After summoning up the courage to fight the Scarlet Knights for a while, the orcs, who have no strong men and no commanders, still cannot avoid the fate of defeat.
The cooperation of the Scarlet Knights is really tacit. Although the Scarlet Knights seem to be less flexible than the orcs in battle because of their mounts, in actual combat, the Scarlet Knights manipulate the horses as if they were their own bodies. Often when the orc warriors saw an opportunity to attack, the shield cavalry would block them; then the lancers would cast long spears to stab the orc warriors, causing damage to the orc warriors.
The elite Blood Rage Knights and Asylum Knights were stronger than the Tauren, and they were just small bosses in front of ordinary orc warriors. Asylum Knights were so hard that they could not be cut, while Blood Rage Knights killed orc warriors like cutting melons and vegetables. Even if they were injured, they would recover quickly under the effect of life stealing.
Not only ordinary orc warriors, but even Cairne Bloodhoof gradually lost the desire to fight. Being stared at by two blood elf heroes and surrounded by a large number of Asylum Knights to prevent him from escaping, Cairne Bloodhoof could not see the possibility of a comeback.
As soon as the blood mage’s magic sucking cooled down, it would be applied to Cairne Bloodhoof from a distance. The key is that the cooling time of this skill is not long, and Cairne Bloodhoof has been in an awkward situation with no mana available.
The Chaos Knight who was fighting against him became more and more courageous. The chaos arrows that were released as long as they were cooled down and the occasional critical hits made Cain Bloodhoof miserable. The key was that the feeling of being able to passively withstand the enemy’s skills without being able to counterattack was too frustrating.
The final outcome was soon clear. Cain Bloodhoof, who had been unable to release skills, was gradually dragged down by the Chaos Knights who had blood elf priests and blood elf witches constantly replenishing their health and magicians. In the end, he even fought to the point of exhaustion and coma.
The orc troops also turned into a rout in front of the bloody knights who were gradually launching a counterattack. However, City No. 13 has now been plowed several times by blood elf magicians and is no longer a place that can provide cover.
The orc warriors could only step out of their legs, scatter and try their best to escape to the distance. However, the extremely large number of blood elf magicians have not been attacked by the orcs so far, and they are still full of energy and have some magic points left. The fleeing orcs still have to continue to face the baptism of magic.
These orcs are blood and flesh resources, so the blood elves will not let them go easily. In addition to the long-range pursuit of the blood magicians, the blood knights also rode unicorns to pursue them, leaving the orcs no chance to escape.
Under the double pursuit, only a few orcs were able to escape with their lives. The orcs did not know what deep hatred the blood elves had with them, and they wanted to kill them all. Didn’t they say that the blood elves that appeared at the beginning just asked for some living supplies? Although the so-called “some” was a bit much
The orcs naturally didn’t know that in the eyes of the blood elves, they were the nutrients necessary for the growth of new tribesmen, and they were things. When hunters face food, they will naturally not let food escape easily.
However, regardless of whether the relationship between the blood elves and the orcs is the relationship between hunters and food or something else, at least after the battle of City No. 13, the army of the orcs in the Canaan occupation area was emptied. Although there are still some orc defenders in each city, they are not enough in front of the blood elf army.
Before the orcs could react to what happened in the Canaan occupied area, the blood elf troops, led by three heroes, took down ten cities again. This was because the blood elves were now united and did not split up to attack, otherwise the results would have been even more impressive.
As for Cairne Bloodhoof, he was captured instead of being killed directly – this was Yu Fei’s decision. Although after killing Grom and occupying more than 20 cities of the orcs, the blood elves may have been hostile to the orcs and there was no room for easing; but Cairne Bloodhoof was an orc hero, and it was a pity to kill him like this. After repeated consideration, Yu Fei decided to keep him alive for the time being.
Besides, Cairne Bloodhoof has the skill of rebirth. If you really want to execute this guy, you have to kill him twice, which is really strange.
When the blood elf army captured the city in the orc Canaan occupied area like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, the orc high-level officials finally realized what happened there.
In fact, the orcs’ leaders have been paying attention to the situation in the Canaan occupied area. In their decision, this is related to whether to launch a full-scale attack on the human world. However, under the pursuit of the blood elves, too few orcs escaped from City 13, so the orcs’ leaders were unable to get the news in time.
After learning the details of what happened in the Canaan occupied area from an orc warrior who had personally experienced the battle in City 13, the orc leaders felt a chill in their hearts.
Originally, they were expecting Cairne Bloodhoof and Grom to defeat the blood elves and come back to participate in the full-scale attack on the human world. Even if the blood elves were difficult to deal with for a while, at least they should be able to entangle them so that they can attack humans with peace of mind.
However, the orc leaders never expected that Cairne Bloodhoof and Grom would lose so miserably. Although Grom was missing, he was probably dead according to the situation at the time. Cairne Bloodhoof was directly captured, and 200,000 orc recruits and part of the original orc troops in the Canaan occupied area were almost wiped out. This situation was too tragic.
The key point was that in this way, the orcs could not take advantage of the chaos in the human world to take more territory or even directly destroy the human race. This made the orc leaders very entangled.
In the Royal City of Baori, the meeting of the orcs’ high-level officials was held again. However, this time, there were two fewer orcs in the hall, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
During the discussion, the orcs’ high-level officials were obviously divided into two factions. Some of the orcs’ high-level officials felt that the current opportunity was rare, and they would not be able to attack the humans when they were in chaos, and it would be difficult to fight them when they stabilized; some of them felt that if they did not deal with the blood elves, even if they conquered some new territories, it would still be a loss.
The high-level officials of the two factions of orcs argued endlessly, and Vol’jin, the most prestigious witch doctor, watched the two factions of orcs’ red-faced and thick-necked arguments calmly. But in his heart, a deep sorrow surged.
The focus of the debate between the high-level officials of the two factions of orcs was how to choose the next war. No orc high-level official proposed how to rescue Cairne Bloodhoof, and no one remembered Grom.
Vol’jin witch doctor knew that this situation was inevitable. The orcs have always lived in the form of divided tribes, and their sense of belonging to the orcs as a large race is not strong. Fortunately, with the emergence of God-given power, most of the orcs were barely united by the division of the new and ancient orcs.
These powerful orcs, although they have a sense of familiarity with each other because of the God-given soul, the relationship between them is not very harmonious. There are not many orcs, and one more person will give a few more powers. If there are fewer people present, the power held by the orcs will increase. Therefore, they tacitly did not mention the matter of Cairne Bloodhoof and Grom.
But Vol’jin Witch Doctor is different. The reason why the orcs are willing to accept the leadership of Vol’jin Witch Doctor to a certain extent is that all the orcs who have mastered the healing ability among the new orcs are under the jurisdiction of Vol’jin Witch Doctor. With this power, it is natural for Vol’jin Witch Doctor to have a higher status.
And Vol’jin Witch Doctor himself also takes it as his responsibility to safeguard the interests of the orcs. Although he is a little sad about the capture of Cairne Bloodhoof and the fall of Grom, his reason tells him that the more beneficial choice is to continue the plan to attack the human world.
After a difficult weighing, Witch Doctor Vol’jin finally chose to support the attack on the human world. As for the Canaan occupied area, let them mess around for now. Send some troops to guard the Everburning Trail to ensure the smooth flow of traffic with the original territory of the orcs. After the victory in the human world, it will not be too late to go back and deal with the blood elves.
With the addition of Witch Doctor Vol’jin, the orc leaders who attacked the human world gained the upper hand. Finally, under the persuasion of Witch Doctor Vol’jin, other orc leaders also reluctantly agreed to attack the human world, after all, the opportunity was rare.
It was just like the last time they made the decision to attack the human world, there was news from Cyril; this time, after the orc leaders reluctantly agreed to agree, new unfavorable news came.
“Report!!! The ancient orcs launched an attack on our remaining troops, many tribes were defeated, and the old, weak, women and children were looted!”
The orc leaders who had just walked out of the hall listened to the news brought by the messenger who came all the way from the original territory of the orcs with a dazed look.
