The Blackrock clan was the most affected by the Beastmen being led astray. Among the three major clans of the Tribe, the core clan that pushed for the interstellar expedition was also the Blackrock clan.
It was also because most of the people of the Blackrock clan came out of the prison camps. Not only were the Blackrock warriors captured, but there were also many Blackrock Beastmen who were born or grew up in the prison camps.
Therefore, they were extremely disgusted with drinking things that belonged to demons or evil gods.
Unfortunately, the flag they raised was regarded as a flag of rebellion. Due to the great disparity in strength between the two sides, including the Frostwolf clan who responded to Thrall's call, many Beastmen who rushed over after hearing the news of the uprising were extinguished before they could reach the trial valley of Durotar where the rebels were located.
The warriors of the Blackrock clan struggled to resist the attacks of the Koucharon Guards.
However, just like how the demigod Cenarius couldn't withstand Grom Hellscream's frenzied attacks and couldn't even use his divine power, the warriors of the Blackrock clan couldn't withstand the baleful aura of the Kroun guards who had been strengthened by the power of Ashoka.
Magatha Grimtotem brought an entire group of Tauren Shamans and more than 500 Warlocks to fight against Thrall.
After a night of fighting, Garrouch announced that his guards had successfully defeated a rebellion and captured the rebel leaders, the former Chieftain Thrall and Warlord Varrock Salufar.
The warriors of the Frostwolf clan who received the news sped towards Ogrimma. Unfortunately, Garrus was already guarding against the Frostwolf clan. He directly sent an army of 100,000 led by the Warsong clan in an attempt to wipe out the Frostwolf clan.
Seeing that the situation wasn't right, the Frostwolf clan broke through the encirclement and hid in the abandoned Razor Swamp.
Originally, Garrouch had planned to hold a grand execution, using the execution of Saar and Varrock as a declaration of his great power.
The Alliance unknowingly launched an all-out attack.
"Woo woo —" A shrill air raid alarm sounded in Ogrimma.
Fifteen years after the Dark Portal, Thrall of West Kalimdor didn't expect that the Alliance's technology would develop to such a terrifying level in just a dozen years.
Ogrimma's location was quite good.
To the west was the turbulent River of Wrath, and upstream was a dangerous canyon, so there was no need to worry about the water source being cut off. It was a full 100 kilometers to the east before they reached the coast. They didn't have to worry about the Alliance landing on land and going straight in or being bombarded by the Alliance's ships.
To the north were towering mountains that even birds could not cross. On the contrary, the beastmen were experts in mountain warfare. The Beastmen's superiority over the humans in mountain warfare had been proven through the two battles at the Dark Portal.
In the tribe's imagination, the real enemy would only come from the south. That was why the main gate of Orgrimmar, which faced the southern plains, was the most majestic and sturdy.
Whether it was Sal or Brainless Roar, no one knew the original history. Under normal circumstances, Azshara would have been taken over by the goblins' Rustwater Consortium. The Horde would open up a narrow and dangerous path from Orgrimmar to Azshara, merging the two areas together and making it even more difficult to attack.
No matter which direction they attacked from, they would receive support from other places.
However, the Horde would never know how many years and how many things Duque had prepared in order to conquer Ogrimma.
After defeating the Burning Legion led by Archimonde in the battle of Mount Hyjal, the Alliance had occupied Azshara first. Even if Azshara and Ogrimma were separated by tens of kilometers of towering mountains, it didn't matter. The key was that the source of the River of Wrath was in Azshara.
Technically, the source was at the junction of Mount Hyjal, the Land of Fire, and Azshara. It didn't matter because all three areas were under the control of the Alliance.
The amount of water in the River of Wrath was shocking. Just blocking it would only turn it into a dammed lake, causing Azshara to flood. If it didn't flood this place, it would destroy some Alliance territory.
Duque had used bulldozers and other engineering teams early in the morning to open up two artificial rivers in Azshara.
One was obvious. It would directly lead into Gray Valley and increase the amount of water in the forest. As long as it was used properly, the conservative Gray Valley could recover faster.
The other one was dark, fifty meters wide, and the deepest one was fifteen meters deep. After this artificial river was built, it had never been used. It was announced that it would be a maintenance plant for the Flying Fleet, but after the plan changed, it was shelved. They even built a series of huge factories on the river.
Apart from the dam that had been secretly built at the mouth of the river, the cement walls and the dry riverbed looked no different from an unfinished construction site.
With Duque's order, the dam opened, and the water level of the entire River of Wrath dropped.
At the same time, the dam built on the River of Wrath began to slowly close. This way, not a single drop of water would flow back into the original River of Wrath.
To prevent the dam from exploding, there were three such dams along the River of Wrath. Every dam was equipped with at least ten thousand special forces that were mixed with different types of troops.
Without food, people could survive for seven days just by drinking water.
If people didn't have water, they would die in three days.
The broken flow of the River of Wrath directly interrupted Garrus' counterattack plan.
As long as it was a living creature, it had to eat, drink, and poop. Even after drinking Yashaji's Blackheart Water, the mutated Beastmen still couldn't lack water.
The entire terrain of Durotar was a relatively flat plain. The broken flow of the River of Wrath also led to another consequence of seawater flowing back. The turbulent seawater poured back into the riverbed of the River of Wrath. The riverbed that seemed to be low had water again, but in fact, the salty seawater was even more destructive to the freshwater ecosystem.
Of course, this was a story for another time.
Originally, after receiving intelligence that the entire Barrenlands was being attacked by the Alliance's Flying Fleet from the west, south, and north, Brainless Roar had prepared an army of hundreds of thousands of mutated Beastmen civilians, led by the Kucaron Guards, ready to counterattack.
With the water cut off, he could only passively change his plan. He would march the army north along the riverbed and go directly to the Kagathia Fortress built in the easternmost part of Gray Valley during the conflict with the elves.
In this life, because the conflict with the Alliance broke out very late, the current Kagathia was not the fortress in history. Now it was just a camp made of wood.
Unfortunately, when the tribe had just stationed the vanguard of 50,000 people in, the entire fortress was immediately attacked by the Alliance's fortress, Tarundis, from the northeast.
The so-called trick was one set after another.
Since Duque thought of this trick of breaking the water, he knew that the tribe would definitely counterattack. Not only did he upgrade Tarundis to a fortress long ago, but he also set the shooting element long ago.
He didn't lack anything, but the tribe came to him.
