Crossing Azeroth, starting with the Heroes of Might and Magic system
Chapter 198 The New Direction of the Orcs
In the chieftain's tent in the wetland orc camp, the atmosphere was solemn and tense. The light of the torches cast swaying shadows on the wall, as if foreshadowing the upcoming major decision.
Orgrim, the leader of the orc warriors, stood at the head of the conference table, his eyes revealing firmness and determination. Behind him was a huge map with various important locations on the continent of Azeroth marked on it, and Southshore, a small port town on the edge of human territory, was being pointed at by a huge finger.
"Everyone!" Orgrim's deep and powerful voice echoed in the empty tent, like a thunder, making the eardrums of every orc present buzz. His burly body was like an unshakable mountain, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
"We orcs have fought countless fierce battles with those cunning humans on this vast land. However, despite our bravery and fearlessness, we have never been able to achieve a great victory of decisive significance." Orgrim's eyes burning with anger swept across the many orc warriors in front of him. He gripped the huge battle axe in his hand, and the axe blade flashed with cold light.
"Now, we must break this deadlock and find a new strategic breakthrough. After careful consideration, I think it's time to change the direction of our attack - starting from the turbulent sea, launch a fierce attack on Southsea Town!" Orgrim's words were like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirring up a thousand waves.
For a moment, the orcs looked at each other with different expressions. Some stared with eyes wide open, showing incredible surprise; some frowned, lost in deep thought; and some couldn't help but start discussing in a low voice.
After all, for these orc warriors who are used to charging and fighting on solid ground, fighting at sea is undoubtedly a completely unfamiliar and extremely challenging field.
An experienced orc general frowned and raised his doubts in a heavy tone, "Great Chieftain, we orcs have always charged into battle on land, and we have no experience in sea battles! Besides, the human guards in Nanhai Town must have been on high alert and made full preparations. Isn't it too risky to launch an attack rashly under such circumstances?"
After hearing this, Orgrim nodded slightly. His sharp eyes stared into the distance. He nodded thoughtfully and said, "You are right, General. Indeed, fighting at sea is undoubtedly a completely unfamiliar territory for us. However, precisely because of this, it has become a rare opportunity for us. You know, those self-righteous humans may not even dream that we have the courage to launch a surprise attack on them from the sea. And this is precisely the key to our victory by surprise."
When Orgrim's words reached the ears of every orc present, their tense expressions gradually relaxed, replaced by a look of conviction after sudden enlightenment. Because they knew very well that with the human mindset, they would never expect the orcs to choose to launch an attack from the rough sea.
Another orc general added: "Moreover, as an important seaport for humans, Nanhai Town's strategic position is self-evident. If we can successfully occupy it, we can not only cut off humans' sea supply lines, but also provide strong support for our land offensive."
After intense discussions and weighing the pros and cons, the orcs finally reached a consensus. They decided to send an elite force led by Orgrim to launch a surprise attack on Southshore Town from the sea on various ships. At the same time, they also made a careful plan, including training for sea combat, camouflage of ships, and selection of raid routes.
"Everyone," Orgrim stood up again, his voice full of power, "Let us meet this challenge together. For the glory of the orcs and our future, we must move forward bravely!"
The orcs stood up one after another and shouted in unison: "For the glory of the orcs!" Their voices echoed in the conference room, as if foreshadowing the coming victory and glory.
In order to solve the problem of ships needed for the sea attack, the next day, in the chief's tent, the flickering candlelight illuminated the determined and serious faces. The air was filled with tension and anticipation, because today they were going to discuss a major decision about the orcs' future maritime power - buying ships from the goblins.
Orgrim, the best of the orc warriors, stood in the center of the hall, his voice resounding throughout the space like thunder: "Everyone, we orcs have long been fighting mainly on land, but in today's diversified era, mastering naval power is also crucial. I recently contacted the goblin merchant Gallywix, who has excellent ships that can help us sail the sea."
The orcs' eyes were like torches, all looking at Orgrim, and their sights intertwined like an invisible net. Many of them looked puzzled, with frowns on their faces, as if they were thinking about something; some orcs were full of curiosity, with their eyes wide open, wanting to hear more about the ship from Orgrim; however, the eyes of most orcs looking at Orgrim showed a firm trust, which came from the outstanding leadership and fearless courage that Orgrim had shown for a long time.
At this time, an old orc shaman with a hunched body and wrinkled face took a few trembling steps forward with a cane, and then slowly said: "Great Chief, the ships you mentioned are indeed what we urgently need right now. However, those goblins are notoriously cunning! The goods they sell are not only ridiculously expensive, but also often accompanied by various unpredictable risks."
After hearing this, Orgrim nodded slightly to show his agreement. "You are right, old man. However, I have already had preliminary negotiations with the goblin leader named Gallywix. Although the conditions he proposed are very harsh, they are not completely without room for negotiation. After some discussion, I think we can take out some precious minerals and rare treasures to exchange with them. You know, these resources are not particularly scarce in the territory where we orcs live. In contrast, those high-performance ships can open up a new strategic direction for us and bring unprecedented opportunities and possibilities."
