The orc who killed Reki was Brox. He was old and his physical strength had declined slightly. As a true orc warrior, he did not want to die in bed, but rather expected an orc-style glorious death. So although he did not belong to the Warsong Tribe, when he heard Thrall talk about today's plan, the usually taciturn Brox also volunteered to join this dangerous assault.
Brooks didn't have time to care about what Reki was thinking before he died. He chopped off Reki's head with an axe again and held it in his hand. The latter's body fell to the ground, and a book with a purple cover slipped out from Reki's robe. Brooks picked up the book and put it away. Then he chopped down several enemies with a few axes and joined Grom. The wolf riders rushed out again.
This breakout was much simpler than expected. All the Scourge soldiers had lost their will to fight and were only fighting on instinct. The wolf riders rescued many injured companions and successfully broke out of the Scourge's position.
The reason why Lei Ji was able to become the commander of the Scourge Army today was not because of his mediocre command and combat ability, but because of his strong mental power and mental connection ability, which allowed him to command all the Scourge Army soldiers on the battlefield. So when he died, the mental connection of the entire Scourge Army was suddenly interrupted. All the Scourge Army soldiers were confused and at a loss for a while. Even the ice dragons that had just taken off from the back landed again after losing their target.
The first to discover Reki's death were a group of necromancers. The necromancers, who were forced to fight on the front line and suffered heavy casualties, had wanted to escape for a long time. Now, after discovering that they had forced their immediate superior to die, the necromancers secretly cheered for Reki's death in their hearts and began to retreat from the front line.
After noticing the Necromancer's departure, the Death Knights commanded their troops to retreat without hesitation. As officers with excellent qualities, they were able to clearly judge the current situation. After losing unified command, the Scourge had lost hope of victory and it was meaningless to continue fighting. Therefore, except for a small number of rearguard troops, the Scourge began to retreat across the board.
Faced with the enemy's retreat, the exhausted tribal warriors were unable to pursue them. After destroying the Scourge's rearguard troops, most of the warriors sat down on the ground, panting, to rest. The few warriors who still had the strength went to encourage their injured companions, or to collect their bodies, collect their weapons, and pull out their fangs to bring back to their companions and their relatives in the rear.
"Jaina, my warriors are almost at their limit, and the enemy will be able to come up again soon. Now we must seize this precious opportunity to retreat." Thrall said to Jaina.
"Thrall, what the Horde has done has far exceeded our expected combat objectives. The remaining enemies can be left to the Alliance first." Jaina said sincerely convinced. In the previous battles, Jaina was very impressed by both the tenacity of the Horde and Thrall's ability to judge the situation.
Thrall ordered the other orcs to retreat: "Quick, prepare to withdraw! Everyone, move! Wait until we retreat to the third line of defense before resting!"
After receiving the order, the exhausted tribal members around insisted on getting up and began to evacuate, putting the injured teammates and the remaining combat supplies on the kodo beasts, and began to retreat in groups either riding on war wolves or on foot. The surviving high-level rangers and druids of the night elves also began to evacuate on their hippogryphs. Some will return to the third line of defense to rest, and some will continue to join the defense of the human line of defense.
Grom and Brox followed the wolf riders and quickly returned to Thrall. Reki's skull had been hung on the Warsong Clan's banner. Brox pulled the purple-covered book from his arms and handed it to Thrall. "Great Warchief, this is what I found on that lich."
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Brooks." Thrall took the book and started flipping through it. Brooks saluted Thrall again and walked towards Valok, intending to check on his brother.
Thrall flipped through the book for a while and discovered that it was actually Reki's notes on magic research. Thrall handed it to Jaina and said, "Jaina, this thing won't be of much use to our tribe. You should take it and study it with the Kirin Tor members."
Jaina opened the book and glanced through a few pages. She was immediately attracted by the content. She then expressed her gratitude to Thrall, "Thank you, Thrall. This notebook will be of great reference value to me and the Kirin Tor. But we will not take your spoils for nothing. We will exchange them with magical items of equal value."
"Thank you for your help, Jaina." Thrall did not refuse. He gave the magic notebook to Jaina and the Kirin Tor in order to establish good relations with both parties. He had discovered the tremendous power of magic in the previous battle, but the relationship between the Kirin Tor and the Horde has always been bad. If he could find the opportunity to communicate and cooperate with the Kirin Tor, he would definitely seize it.
Twenty minutes later, Jaina followed the orderly evacuating members of the Horde through the Alliance camp. At this time, news of the battle situation on the front line had been brought back and spread by some scouts and members who had withdrawn first. The Horde not only held on longer than the expected time, but also dealt a heavy blow to the Scourge. At this time, many Alliance soldiers looked at the scarred figures of the Horde members passing by, singing desolate war songs with complicated eyes.
Jaina came to Varian, Marshal Windsor and other Alliance leaders, and told them the details of the battle, from the initial disadvantage to the persistence of the Horde members and Thrall's calm and composed decision, and finally the killing of Reki in one fell swoop to completely reverse the situation.
