The orcish alliance was also planning to ensure everything went smoothly.

After crossing St. Petersburg, the armies of the four clans had to traverse the narrow strip of land between the Gulf of Finland and Lake Ladoga before heading north to confront the Elven army. At this point, Arthas made a strange decision: the four clans would march north in batches, and as dispersed as possible.

"Your Majesty, the five fingers are strongest when clenched together. If we split up and head north, it will be like an open palm, making it easy for the enemy to break our fingers!"

"Garrosh, if you want your warriors to meet the same fate as the ghosts of Ra'ij, then disregard my orders."

"...Your Majesty means...the sea creatures will also come to attack us?"

Not only Garrosh, but the other high priests also became worried. The land between the Gulf of Finland and Lake Ladoga is very narrow. If the sea creatures were to repeat the tsunami event that happened in Rai, the orcs would have nowhere to turn for help.

"Those elves are truly hateful; they hide in the north and refuse to come over. They're all cowards!"

The elven army halted its advance west of Lake Radoga, holding its ground at the northern end of the narrow landmass. The two sides had been locked in a stalemate for several days before the orcs, left with no other option, decided to move north.

Because they feared a second wave of elven reinforcements, and all the high priests had already gathered here, the orcs would suffer heavy losses if the temple suddenly launched a full-scale attack. Therefore, this battle had to be won quickly.

The Dragonmaw Clan was the first to cross the narrow land passage, followed by the Shadowmoon Clan, and then the Shatterhand Clan also safely passed through the narrow land passage.

Garrosh finally led his warriors northward, faithfully following Arthas's advice to spread his people out widely, with the column stretching for dozens of miles.

After the previous clans' probing, Garrosh thought the sea creatures wouldn't appear, but... a wave tens of meters high suddenly appeared.

Moreover, the suddenly appearing waves were dozens of miles wide, sweeping across the entire Warsong Clan's army. Except for a few powerful orcs, the rest of the warriors were swept away without a trace.

"Arthas...why is this happening? Aaaaaah!" Garrosh's screams shook the heavens and the earth, filled with extreme grief.

"There are quite a lot of sea creatures coming this time!" Arthas's voice was still hoarse, dull, and lifeless.
