In the first and second War of the Dark Portal, the Horde was arrogant and seemed to have an endless number of troops. It was largely because of the worsening natural environment of Draenor.
The reason why Gul 'dan was able to lure so many Beastmen to their deaths was very simple: since they were all fighting and killing each other, rather than letting so many fierce Beastman tribes fight each other for a smaller and smaller piece of cake, it was better for everyone to go to another planet and fight for a bigger piece of cake.
However, with the defeat of the Horde and the fall of the strongest clans in Azeroth, the lack of resources in Draenor seemed to have become less scarce.
The Blackrock Clan, which was originally the number one clan, claimed to have 500,000 Warriors at their peak. Of course, this was an exaggeration, but there were definitely 300,000 adult Orc Warriors, and most of them were absolute elites who had experienced the war with the Draenei.
Unfortunately, they were weakened by Duque's many tricks, and even the last seed was lost in the sea in the southeast of the Lordaeron Continent. The only remaining clan was the Blacktooth Clan, which was split from Blackhand's two sons, Rend Blackhand and Maim Blackhand. After chasing after Gul 'dan, they directly left Orgrim's control.
It could be said that the absence of the Blackrock Clan had freed up the living space of at least three first-rate clans for the entire Horde.
Then there was the Warsong Clan, which was second only to the Blackrock Clan. Unlike the original history, the Warsong Clan was thrown into Azeroth early in this war. Now, after Southshore and Silverpine Forest suffered a series of heavy losses, the entire clan was trapped in the Tirisfal Glades.
Then there was the Frostwolf Clan, which was also one of the first-rate clans. They were not much different from the original history, and were directly banished to the Alterac Mountains before the official start of the first War of the Dark Portal.
Then there was the Storm Predators and the Blackscar Clan, which were at the bottom of the first-rate clans.
Finally, there was the Blood Ring Clan, the Shattered Palm Clan, and the Dragonmaw Clan. These were the three first-rate clans that suffered heavy losses, but still returned to Draenor. Unfortunately, due to the significant decline in population and Warriors, they had become second-rate clans.
All in all, the first-rate clans had nearly a million people empty, and this did not include the losses of the second-rate and third-rate clans.
If the Orc labourers, who had always been ignored by the chiefs, were included. In the two Wars of the Dark Portal, the Horde had lost more than two million people.
If anyone checked carefully, they would find that more than one-third of the Warriors had drowned in the sea. The Alliance had to give Duque a thumbs up.
In the tribe, population and warriors were synonymous with territory. Without population and warriors, there would be no territory.
There were more vacancies than in history, which led to a new round of reshuffling of power.
When Orgrim was still around, none of the clans that stayed in Draenor dared to make a move even though they knew that the chief was still alive.
The Orgrim captured, and the Clans, of the Wolf Clan, Of Dragon Clan, and Wolf Clan.
For example, the White Claw Clan was exterminated because they sympathized with Durotan and the Frostwolf Clan's misfortune.
The Thor, Thunderblade, Mockingskull, Crimsonwalker and Chewbboneater, who had stayed in Draenor for various reasons and had yet to be sent to Azeroth, gained the greatest advantage in this shuffle.
Before winter, they had more than doubled their territory.
If it wasn't for the cold of winter, and if they had a little foresight, they might have been able to make Kilrogg Deadeye and Kargath Bladefist suffer a grievance.
While Draenor was busy fighting, on the Eastern Kingdoms of Azeroth, the revival of the countries continued.
Obviously, the revival of the Southern Continent was faster than that of the Lordaeron Continent.
In the North, whether it was the Silverpine Forest that had been burned to the ground or the Warsong Orcs in the Tirisfal Woodlands, Terenas could not do anything. He could only hope for the harvest of the fields near Stratholme this year. After all, it was away from the forest, and the Orcs would not dare to come out and face the Knights of Lordaeron.
Barnil, Felstone, and Maris, these famous grain-producing areas were Lordaeron's last hope.
He even hoped that if Deathwing became the king of Alterac, at least Alterac's ten thousand acres of fertile land in Hillsbrad could be temporarily given to Lordaeron.
The nearby Dalajan and Stormgard were finally on the right track.
But no one could compare to the prosperity of the South.
Even if Terenas did not want to admit it, he had to admit that there was no other genius in the world like Duque, who could create an independent economic system out of thin air and revive the whole kingdom without spending a single gold coin.
"Hell, if Kaliya was here, I would marry Kaliya to Duque even if it was embarrassing. The only good thing is … Daelin didn't seem to benefit from it. "
Terenas had thought of imprisoning Kaliya for life because she had embarrassed the Menethil royal family. But when there was a greater benefit, Terenas hoped that his dead daughter would crawl out of her grave so that he could sell her again.
This was the despicable politics of the royal family.
When everyone's attention was on Stormwind, one day in mid-May, Antonidas suddenly received a request for a meeting from Duque. It was not an urgent request, but one that went through diplomatic procedures. The former Dalajan Mage, Lady Illucia Barov, personally submitted it to the foreign affairs department of the Kirin Tor Parliament.
Even though Antonidas was obsessed with magic experiments, he still received Duque the next day.
"Oh, my dear Duque, I thought you had the blood of dwarves in your veins. Railways? Trains? Looks like you're better at dealing with dwarves than you are at being a mage. Alright, what brings you here? "
Antonidas hugged Duque with a hint of dissatisfaction and a hint of mockery.
"I'm so happy to see you in such good health, Master Antonidas." Duque said politely, then went straight to the point, "Actually, I came this time because I received some unconfirmed news. But this news is too important, so I had to come personally. "
"What kind of news?" Antonidas pondered.
He knew Duque very well. Even though this young man's plans seemed wild and unconstrained, he had never failed before.
From the war with the Horde to the victory ceremony of Lordaeron with the four Dragon Kings. Duque's actions always had an obvious purpose. If you ignored his actions, you would be tricked like Terenas, and don't blame him for not informing you in advance.
"The Warlock King Gul 'dan's master, Ner' zhul, has his eyes on the [Dalajan Eye]!"
