The Dominion Force commanded by Matt Horner, the Protoss Golden Armada led by Selendis, the elves led by Glorfindel, and Gloin reached the Ettenmoors. "In days of old, the Ettenmoors were held by the Witch-king of Angmar. Now the new goblin leader has taken these lands for his own," said an elf.
"We'll first have to clear a goblin encampment," said Selendis.
"Johnny, we'll need heavier units for this assault," Horner told Johnny as siege tanks were used. They were heavy tanks that could switch to long-range artillery in siege mode.
"I never thought you can have such powerful machines," said Glorfindel.
"These will help us in the upcoming siege," said Johnny.
When the combined forces reached a poorly defended goblin settlement, the siege tanks took siege mode that instantly slew the cave trolls while the colossi handled the goblin infantry easily. The elven archers, Protoss dragoons, and marines fired took down the other goblin infantry. The siege tanks had a longer attack range and could instantly destroy a goblin structure.
"Area is secured, we can set up encampments," said Johnny.
The combined forces established encampments near clusters of mineral fields and vespene geysers. A man-made factory landed so that the hellions, vulture bikes, goliath combat walkers, diamondback hover tanks, and siege tanks could be manufactured. A number of siege tanks remained to defend the encampment when combined with bunkers, battle towers, and photon cannons. Selendis had some of the Protoss high Templar merged to become archons that were powerful psionic entities in which their psionic shockwaves could deal more damage against biological foes. She assembled a force of zealots, dragoons, archons, and colossi. Johnny prepared an attack force consisting of marines, vulture bikes, hellions, goliaths, diamondbacks, and siege tanks.
The combined forces began moving towards the main goblin encampment. The siege tanks demolished the goblin tunnels and the sentry towers. The goblin army also had spiderlings that had venom sacs and pike-wielding half-troll marauders. The hellions caught hordes of goblin infantry, goblin spider riders, spiderlings, and half-troll marauders on fire causing them to run around then collapsed to the ground motionlessly. The vulture bikes picked off the infantry and cavalry opponents with their grenade launchers despite they were not efficient. The elven lancers trampled the goblin infantry, knocked the goblins off from their spiders, and speared the spiders. The elven warriors helped out slashing the half-troll marauders while the elven archers picked off the spiderlings. The spiderlings, goblin spider riders, and half-troll marauders were no match to marines, goliaths, diamondbacks, dragoons, and colossi. A single goliath could gun down two goblins and two spiderlings with its twin autocannons. However a single goliath could only take down one half-troll marauder or a spider rider with its dual guns. The goblin archers attempted to fire at the armored vehicles and the colossi but the arrows all bounced off. The Protoss zealots sliced the spiderlings, goblin infantry, and half-troll marauders into pieces. The Protoss archons handled any opponent in the goblin army easily and their plasma shields appeared to be harder than the goblins could think.
When they approached the main goblin encampment, the siege tanks demolished the walls in siege mode. "I smell the flesh of the Eldar. Wait, what? What are they?" it was the goblin king riding a giant scorpion. He could not believe his eyes seeing strange creatures and things he had never seen before. "Kill all the intruders," he ordered.
Glorfindel clashed blades with the goblin king distracting him so that Gloin could kill the giant scorpion. This caused the goblin king to fell off before the elf in silver armor decapitated the goblin king, "The goblin king is dead. The lands can be safer again."
"Now we have to mop out the main goblin encampment," said Johnny.
The diamondbacks handled the remaining cave trolls and the mountain giant easily with their anti-armor railguns. Those hover tanks had the advantage of moving and attacking simultaneously. The tanks laid waste to the other structures and the goblin king's fortress.
When the tanks did so, a lone dwarf prisoner was liberated. He requested aid from the combined forces as his clan in the Blue Mountain was attacked by a dragon.
