Sabek shook his head.

"I don't know," he replied. "But we can't cross that mountain road anymore. I sent soldiers every day to guard the other mountain road besides Broken Ridge, but none of the soldiers sent there today came back."

What he meant was very clear, those people should have returned long ago.

"Damn." Doomhammer gritted his teeth. "It must be the army of the other Alliance that has taken it there."

He thought again of the warrior who had blocked them between Lordaeron and Alterac with only a few hundred men—Mograine.

Perhaps reinforcements from Lordaeron also came, and the warrior who had not died in their hands chased after them with reinforcements.

Yes, this is the most likely scenario.

Lothar set out from the Hillsbrad Hills, and he and his army took the road when the Horde came, so Lordaeron's army may have taken the road to the north and controlled the mountain.

In any case, these cannot change the current predicament.

"He got here from that mountain road, when will they arrive?" he asked.

Sabek shrugged.

"It's hard to say," he mentioned. "But it should take at least half a day, or even further."

He looked around.

"We still have a lot of fighters here," Sabek said. "We'll have more when Gul'dan gets back here, and we'll be able to capture the town before these pursuers get there."

Doomhammer smiled wryly, still thinking.

"Others? Others won't come!"

Sabek looked very surprised at this.

"Gul'dan betrayed us," Doomhammer told his assistant, describing what had happened with difficulty. "He took an army and ran away halfway after the cavalry."

"However, why did he do this?" Sabek asked, looking very confused. "If we lose this war, we will have no place, including himself."

Doomhammer shook his head.

"He never cared about the war." He remembered seeing the warlock in Stormwind.

"He seems to have found something, something very powerful," he recalled vaguely. "This thing can make him so powerful that he doesn't need the protection of the tribe."

"Then what should we do," Sabek demanded, looking back at the city.

"That way we won't have enough troops to take this place," he said.

Doomhammer didn't want to look over there, he knew his assistant was right.

The city is much stronger than he imagined, and its defenders are also very tenacious.

The Alliance's surprise attack from their rear also resulted in massive attrition of their troops.

Moreover, none of them can fight against the mages in the city now.

It wasn't the only thing that weighed on his heart, Gul'dan's betrayal was so heinous that he took other orcs with him.They put personal ends above the tribe as a whole, and they put their own selfish desires above the needs of their own people.

And that was what drove Doomhammer to kill Blackhand in order to gain control of the Horde, to end that corruption and restore honor to his people.

This treachery will never be forgiven, no matter what it will cost the Horde and Doomhammer themselves.

But now, Orgrim had to figure out a way to keep his team alive.

Chapter 0598 The Great Chief Escaped Again

I have to admit that, as the great chief of the tribe, Orgrim is indeed a rather decisive leader.

After realizing that the strength of his army was not enough to break through the town in front of him, Orgrim gave up without hesitation to continue the siege. Even if the Keldaron in front of him was almost crumbling, he was not tempted.

He deeply knew that without Gul'dan's constraints, no matter how brave his warriors were, they would not be able to resist the powerful human mage in the city.

The power of magic is always beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Since there was no way to get back to Arathi Heights through the road of Keldaron County, and the back road was blocked by the army of the Alliance, Orgrim had only one road left.

That is mountain climbing.

Not detouring the rugged mountain road, but actually climbing the mountain and getting out of the way where there is no road.

If they stay and confront the Alliance head-on, Orgrim knows clearly that there is only one outcome for them, and that is total annihilation.

And entering the mountains of Alterac, finding a way from the place where there is no way, it is possible to retain their vitality to the greatest extent.

If the road to Keldaron County was immediately opened in front of them, [-]% of this army would be able to return to Arathi Highlands alive.

Then, in order to forcibly find a way to bypass the alliance's obstruction, the orcs who can return smoothly may be less than [-]%.

Despite being Warchief, Doomhammer was rather reluctant to face such a loss.

However, even he had to admit that this was the best outcome, and they had no other choice.

In the town of Keldaron County, the soldiers looked at the orcs receding like a tide, and couldn't help but sighed in relief and sat down on the ground one after another.

The continuous attacks from the orcs just now made them almost unbearable.

If it weren't for the will to defend their homeland, and the assistance of Ye Ting and a strong man, they could hardly last.

Now that the orcs left, and their breath was let out, only then did they feel the pain and exhaustion all over their bodies.
