Crossing Azeroth, starting with the Heroes of Might and Magic system

The orc soldiers wielded huge hammers, battle axes, maces and other heavy weapons, making deafening roars, as if they wanted to tear into pieces all enemies that stood in their way.

The two armies met, and there was a flash of swords and blood flying everywhere. The human soldiers tried to resist the fierce attack of the orc soldiers with their superb martial arts and strict formations. The orc soldiers, on the other hand, relied on brute force and violence to continuously attack the human soldiers' defense line, trying to defeat them in one fell swoop.

The swords of the human soldiers weaved through the orc soldiers, leaving fatal wounds. The roars and shouts of the orc soldiers continued, and each of their attacks was enough to scare the human soldiers.

In order to observe the fighting strength and fighting styles of the orcs and ogres, Sir Lothar did not go out into the battle this time. He only stayed behind and carefully observed these creatures that had never fought before.

Griselda and Tulloch did not participate in the battle themselves, but watched nervously from behind.

Because in terms of numbers, the number of human soldiers is simply too large, almost three or four times that of orcs and ogres.

And they had never fought with human soldiers before, so they didn't know how strong human soldiers were.

Griselda and Tulloch were watching the situation closely in the rear, and had already made plans in their minds to retreat immediately if something went wrong.

Sure enough, as the battle continued, the human soldiers gradually gained the upper hand due to their overwhelming numbers and the support of the Griffin Knights' air forces.

Hundreds of griffin riders were seen flying around in the sky above the battlefield, constantly searching for valuable targets to attack and finishing off the wounded orc and ogre soldiers.

This caused a great loss to the orc army, because the orc soldiers led by Griselda and the ogre soldiers led by Tulock had no air forces.

Occasionally, some Griffin Riders fly too low and are attacked by Orc Warlocks and Orc Shamans.

On the human side, there were as many as 800 griffin riders. They attacked recklessly in the air, and the orcs were helpless.

Under the fierce attack of the human soldiers, about three to four thousand orc and ogre soldiers fell, and the catapults were almost all destroyed.

There were also many casualties among human soldiers, with a total of six to seven thousand soldiers killed from all branches of the military.

Griselda saw that the situation was not good. If the fighting continued, all the soldiers would be killed here, so she asked the messenger to blow the retreat horn.

A low retreat horn sounded. The orc soldiers and ogre soldiers were stunned for a moment, then they pushed back the human soldiers with force and ran towards the flag next to Griselda.

Griselda and Tulloch took the lead and led the soldiers to escape towards the fertile plains in the west.

Sir Lothar saw the orcs retreating and was about to chase them, but when he looked at the injured soldiers, he hesitated and did not give the order.

Because six or seven thousand human soldiers fell and several thousand were injured, the losses can be said to be very heavy!

This time, I underestimated the fighting power of the orc soldiers and ogre soldiers! If I had brought another 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers, the casualties might not have been so great.

Now is not the time to pursue or reflect. The most urgent task is to send the injured soldiers back for treatment.

After all, the battle with the orcs is not a matter of one day or one night.

What's more, the orcs would not be able to escape to the Western Plains. There was no place for them to hide in the Western Plains.

At most, you can hide in a mine, but that is also a dead end.

After I go back and regroup, I can continue to increase my soldiers and go into the fertile western plains to pursue the enemy.

It would be even better if the orcs went to Moonbrook or Daggerridge Fortress, allowing these orcs to experience how powerful Prince Varian's troops are.

So Sir Lothar ordered the messenger to blow the horn of retreat.

The human soldiers who received the order also breathed a sigh of relief and gathered in the direction of Sir Lothar.

Sir Lothar thought for a moment and asked the soldiers to load the bodies of the orcs and ogres into the carts and take them back to Stormwind City.

He wanted to use these corpses to boost morale and inspire people. After all, they were the corpses of thousands of orcs and ogres, which could be considered a fruitful result of the battle.

Because there were too many orc and ogre corpses, there were not enough supply carts, so Lothar ordered his soldiers to find a lot of wheelbarrows and two-wheeled carts from Goldshire.

These orc and ogre corpses filled dozens of carts.

Then he saw the orcs throwing food all over the ground, so he ordered the soldiers to load the food thrown by the orcs onto the carts and take it away.

Fortunately, Goldshire is a populous town with enough vehicles of all kinds. Although the residents have retreated to Stormwind City, these vehicles are still in Goldshire. Otherwise, it would be a problem how to deal with all the food.

On the other side, Griselda and Tulock led the remaining 3,000 soldiers and ran all the way to the vicinity of Mirror Lake, panting.

The two men breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the human soldiers behind them did not chase them.

After the continuous running around these days and a great battle, the orc soldiers and ogre soldiers were a little tired.

Griselda asked the soldiers to rest for a while, and then asked the orc shaman to try his best to heal the injured soldiers.

After fighting a battle, not only did they lose many soldiers and generals, but they also lost the food they brought from the Northshire Monastery, which made Griselda a little worried.

Seeing this, Tulok volunteered, "Don't worry, I'll take some soldiers and look for food nearby."

This not only touched Griselda, but also showed that a friend in need is a friend indeed. Tulloch was someone she could rely on.

Sure enough, not long after, Tulock and his ogre soldiers found an orchard northeast of Mirror Lake.

The fruit trees in the orchard are full of fresh fruits, and many of them are ripe.

Tulok picked a fruit, took a bite, and found it so sweet and juicy that he couldn't help but cheer.

After a while, under the leadership of Turok, Griselda and the orc soldiers and ogre soldiers all came to the orchard and began to pick fruits to satisfy their hunger.

Tulloch picked a large and ripe fruit, brought it to Griselda, and said, "This is the largest and ripest fruit in the orchard. You should enjoy it."

Griselda picked up the fruit and took a bite. It was indeed sweet and delicious.

At this moment, her heart felt as if she had eaten honey and felt extremely sweet.

After the soldiers had eaten their fill, Tulock asked them to pick some more fruits. These fruits can usually be stored for a few days. If they picked more and took them on the road, they wouldn't have to worry about food in the next few days.
