Tol Barad is a stronghold for the orcs during the time when Sauron set foot into this world and wondered around the place, Agandaur and the three black captains came here with him before they went to Gilneas and on this place they wanted to use this place as a stronghold for the Blackrock orcs due to finding strong demon monsters trapped inside prison cells and wanted to get their hands on them. Sauron chose to free the prisoners and Agandaur called forth Blackrock orcs to siege the whole island and they succeeded on doing so, they slaughtered everyone and with that Sauron called forth a dragon to watch over this place while they leave and go to Gilneas.
Garrosh and his warriors made it to the place and begin to take a break from running from the humans, seeking shelter at some of the places on Tol Barad while Garrosh himself along with his partner Malkorok comes to the main area in Tol Barad to speak to the Tower of Sauron, living inside Baradin Hold waiting for Garrosh to arrive so they can begin soon.
As Garrosh and Malkorok enter the room they see the Tower of Sauron standing there with his back facing them. Malkorok stands where he was while Garrosh walks forward close to him. "Hey Tower!"
He twitched his head when he said that then slowly turns his body towards Garrosh. "Finally you have arrived." He takes a step forward while Garrosh stands his ground. "Did you know... these humans placed these... beasts inside this place; in the end they didn't do a good job to protect this island from invaders."
"How come were not using them for the battle?" Garrosh asked "I thought your master wants Lordaeron destroyed."
He turns his head down at him "Are you questioning the Dark Lords plan?"
"Just where is he?" He spreads his arms out for a second "He isn't here fighting against the humans!"
"Oh he will come and when he does he will bring the reckoning to Stormwind and Lordaeron." He takes a few steps back as they started to hear loud footsteps coming towards them getting closer. "Speaking of Lordaeron now is the time to show them what you and your orcs are made of."
As Garrosh stands there he notices that a pit lord comes forth from the shadows seeing it is Argaloth who stands behind the Tower when he turns his body back to Garrosh and Malkorok. "Now then it's time for you orcs to get stronger, call forth all the warriors you have and drink from the blood of the pit lord."
Both Garrosh and Malkorok look at one another then look back to the Tower then to the pit lord Argaloth. "Victory is at your grasp." The Tower says to them.
Back in Gilneas outside the Graymane wall almost several thousand troops of both Gilneans and Easterlings stands outside of the place while the rest of them are on the other side of the wall inside Gilneas, standing in this square formation with their forces merged together and both Agandaur and Graymane rides forward through the army towards the front while the Hammer of Sauron stands there already at the front lines waiting for the call to move out.
Agandaur looks at Graymane then to the Hammer "Send in the first wave... take care of the resistance."
"Understood..."
"If we take care of them then we can siege the capital with all we got." Graymane looks at Agandaur "They will call for aid if we siege it."
"Don't worry king Graymane." He turns his head to him "They are already taken care of, they will not get reinforcements. They are about to get blocked."
"Alright then... front wave advance!"
"Advance!" The Hammer moves his mace forward and almost five thousand Gilneans and Easterlings began to march to the north towards the forces of Arthas while the rest of them hold position in the mean time.
As they advance forward the king ordered his forces to advance also just to get the rest of their forces out of Gilneas and out in the open, all five thousand of them will hold position once their over the wall. They just watch as their forces marches towards the enemy and will wait there for a time being, as they march Garrosh and his forces will soon have to take their ships and sail across to make it back to the land along with the dragon as well.
At Silverpine Arthas and his forces are already prepare for war and Sylvanas started to mobilise all her high elves in position while Arthas and his human forces stands ready away from the elves. Everyone else stands ready with Arthas side until Sylvanas gives the word, her elves will give the word to attack when they see the army coming towards them.
"I hope Jaina arrive with those allies of yours." Talion said who stands next to Arthas
"She will come... i know she will."
"Let's hope we survive the battle here." Mehlar said and holds his sword ready; he turns back and looks at the three thousand soldiers standing behind them. "Let's hope we last."
"Alright." Arthas draws his sword and aims his sword in the air and slowly crouches down and so does everyone else behind him, crouching down and waiting for the signal to attack.
The Hammer of Sauron stands at the front with his five thousand forces marching towards the area seeing the area is clear but he has the feeling that they are out there waiting, he continues going with his army for a while longer until Sylvanas and her elves spots them coming forth. She started to draw her arrow along with all of her archers, hidden nearby and waiting for the attack but just as the Hammer walks forward with the army he soon decided to raise his fist in the air causing his forces to stop. They hold their ground as he takes a few steps forward looking out at the forest and the view of the place, seeing no trace of them nearby but has the feeling they are nearby.
Sylvanas would take aim at the Hammer making her arrow glow with blue energy and just when she was ready she fired towards him, the moment he turn his head to the side towards the arrow he quickly raise his hand and grabs the arrow before it touched him. She revealed herself and then everyone else comes out of hiding and fired towards them, raining down upon them causing many soldiers to break off and get hit by the arrows while others try to shield up to block the projectiles. Gilneans uses their rifles to shoot towards where the elves are taking some out while others keeps moving while they shoot to make them miss, Sylvanas starts shooting towards the soldiers getting perfect hits until she raise her bow in the air, making her arrow glow blue again and fires in the sky making Arthas and his army to see it.
"That's the signal... to arms my brothers!" He stands up with his sword in the air "For Lordaeron and for your king!"
"For Lordaeron!"
They started charging towards the enemy while Sylvanas and her elves keeps fighting, she signals her elven warriors to come out of hiding and charge as well to join Arthas to attack on both sides of their position, Gilneans and Easterlings fired their rifles and arrows towards the elves killing a few as they charge and when the Hammer of Sauron looks over seeing Arthas and his army he moves back and tries to get his men back into lines.
As they stand their ground looking over to the forces of Lordaeron charging towards them they finally clash against each other hard, smashing their shields together and pushing through fighting one another here. Arthas and Mehlar fights together through striking Gilneans and Easterlings while Sylvanas and her warriors comes fighting, drawing her arrows and keeps shooting towards the enemy taking one by one and Talion using his wraith abilities like him fighting one while using his wraith to appear behind him to clash against an attacker from behind, both killing their foes at the same time.
Talion throws a dagger towards a Gilnean then clashes against another and draws his dagger to strike his neck. He kicks him back and looks towards Sylvanas "Hey Sylvanas... i got six over here!"
"I'm on seventeen."
"What... no way i will let you –" He turns his sword backwards and stabs through an Easterling "Beat me in combat." He turns around and strikes one more.
Sylvanas keeps drawing arrows taking one by one. "Nineteen."
Both forces clash hard on the battlefield especially on the forces of Lordaeron trying to hold out and hoping that they can survive until Jaina arrives with the reinforcements, the Hammer of Sauron may become difficult to deal with since every time he swings that mace of his he keeps sending men flying in the air, laughing at every swing he does like he was playing baseball.
As the battle was going off in the south east Kul Tiras marines started to make land armed with two thousand marines along with the Admiral Proudmoore, Jaina's father comes forth with his sword and his gun standing ready to march towards Gilneas however he needs to wait until the forces of Dalaran to arrive to help him out. Dalaran forces of twenty five hundred infantry with Kael, Telestra, Aethas and Jaina all together marching together towards the forces of Kul Tiras. Kael standing at the front with the others stays together in this rectangular formation however they were force to stop all the sudden.
Garrosh comes forth in between the two armies landing his forces as well on ships, looking over to the forces of Dalaran and raising his two dual axes. "Come forth armies of the Blackrock and Warsong Clan!" He yells out to his warriors "Drown this land with their blood!"
The horn goes off and the redskin orcs began to charge towards the forces of Dalaran, the Admiral spots the orcs charging towards their reinforcements and they are force to charge towards them to assist them. The forces of Dalaran held their position and Kael speaks in elven causing the high elven archers to come at the front to take aim in the sky and fire.
"Those orcs aren't supposed to be here!" Jaina said
"Yeah well now there here..." Telestra said and looks at Kael "My prince!"
He speaks in elven language "Fire!" causing the elves to fire in the sky letting it rain down arrows upon them, hitting their bodies killing only a bit of them while others keeps on charging. "No good... there demon orcs.." He decided to take a few steps forward while the archers prepares to fire again in the sky. Kael raise his hands in the air slowly forming three fireballs above him and slowly making them bigger, he punches forward with both hands sending the fireballs towards them smashing through the orcs at the front but Garrosh and his warriors keeps charging.
Kael and the others along with the archers started to move back inside their armies and let their infantry units to stand forward and raise their shields ready, as they get closer they stand ready and just when they were just about to clash Garrosh lays the first attack by taking a leap towards them and smashing through, making his orcs to smash through their defences. They smash them hard through destroying the first row of soldiers and half the second row, clashing against one another while the Admiral and his marines keeps marching to quickly get them in time to help flank them.
As they fight against the orcs back on the side against the Gilneans and Easterlings, they clash across the area with the forces of humans and elves fighting across the field as the Hammer of Sauron continues swinging his mace, swinging through them and striking them down one by one until he spots the captain, captain Falric. He was shield bashing a Gilnean before he strikes through him then clashes against an Easterling three times to the shield before striking through the shoulder, Arthas stabs through another soldier and looks over seeing the Hammer coming towards Falric he tries to warn him but the moment he looked back he took a hit by the mace, sending him flying across the field and smashing against two elven archers, snapping his neck before he hit the ground.
The Hammer turns his attention towards Arthas who comes towards him. "The prince... here at last." He moved his arms away from his body "You cannot stop the shadows of Middle-Earth."
"As light by my side we shall prevail!" He charges towards him with his sword two hands to it, the blade glows with golden light and swings down towards the Hammer making him swing his mace upwards to clash against his sword, hitting one another and bouncing off each other for the moment.
Arthas swings again and so does the Hammer, hitting each other again with their weapons and bouncing off, Arthas swinging forward quickly and hitting his arm but didn't go deep enough and the Hammer lays a punch across his face to push him back. He swings to the side sending an elf flying back and swinging to the side sending three men flying, Arthas charges again and when he swings his mace at him he ducks and lays an uppercut swing striking his chest plate then strikes again to the side making an + on his armour but not deep enough to pierce his skin. Talion was nearby and pushes one of the men out of the way before looking over seeing the Hammer fighting Arthas, he tries to fight his way through to join the fight while Mehlar keeps fighting and using his divine energy to make this chain of healing through some of the men who stands with him to make them stronger again to fight some more.
Talion comes running towards them and charges towards an Easterling who was crouching with his shield, he jumps on the shield to make a leap in the air to swing down at him. The Hammer hits Arthas out of the way and looks over seeing Talion and didn't have enough time to avoid it he takes a hit on his left arm finally piercing through his skin, he keeps swinging at his armour until finally the Hammer grabs his blade and makes him lean close to him.
"The Ranger..." He pushes him close to him "You will die the same way your mother and son died... this time i will make sure you stay dead." He pushes him back and stands ready for round two against Talion.
Arthas got back up and stands next to Talion holding his sword with one hand "Ready again?"
"He is mine... take care of your men." He charges towards them and starts swinging his sword against the Hammer, rolling to the side to avoid his swing so he can strike the side of his left.
Back at the front of Gilneas a rider come riding towards Agandaur and Graymane to tell them the situation in the east. "Milord... forces of Dalaran and Kul Tiras has engaged against the orcs of the east."
"I told you this is working." Agandaur said to Graymane "Now then send in the next wave."
"I don't take orders from you Agandaur remember that!" He said to him and looks to the east "Can those orcs hold them?"
"Yes."
"Then we march to the capital." He raise his sword in the air then swings forward and started riding forward with Agandaur causing both forces together to march towards the north towards the battlefield sending the five thousand of them while the two thousand on standby will be on hold, they will be standing outside the Graymane wall just to make sure that they don't get attack from behind.
Back on the battle with the orcs the forces of Dalaran and elves try to hold them back, using their magic to hold them off until Kul Tiras arrives. Garrosh looks back seeing the forces of Kul Tiras coming towards them, he gets Malkorok and gets him to charge towards the humans with a force of orcs and causing Kul Tiras to hold position to stand ready. They let their rifleman's take the front and begin to fire towards them along with the Admiral as well shooting them down as they charge however there was one more force that has not joined the fight yet and it's just about time it does.
The black dragon the Darkblaze come flying towards them causing the Admiral to turn his attention towards the dragon and breaking his forces in pieces, sending the infantry towards the orcs to clash against them while he gets his men with rifles to reload and take aim at the dragon. The dragon is just about to breathe down fire but the forces of Kul Tiras open fired first hitting the chest a face, the dragon didn't like it and send forth flames upon the ground burning a quarter of his men alive while the rest of them scatter to break off. The dragon turns back and lands on the ground between the two forces and begins attacking the humans, using its tail to whip them back or crush them with its feet or eats them alive to make them scream.
In the fight Garrosh swings his axes striking humans and elves while Telestra with Kael firing off fireballs across the area taking out many orcs and sending them flying back, when an Orc comes towards Telestra Kael helped her out to take him out while she channels a stronger destruction spell. Telestra stands there channelling that energy while Kael had his back facing her, creating three fireballs from above him to send them firing on three directions but he wasn't looking over to Telestra, an Orc comes from the side the moment she fires, taking a hit to the side of her chest with a strong blade from a demon Orc causing her to fall on one knee and when Kael looks back it was too late to save her, when she looks up at the Orc that Orc swings his sword upwards striking her face in and making her spin back and fall to the ground dead with her eyes opened, looking over to Kael.
Kael stood there for the moment then sends forth two fireballs towards that Orc obliterating that creature, he moves back in an open area away from his allies and began to summon forth the great phoenix that comes out of his cape, summoning forth into the sky above him and sends that phoenix on a course to three areas. That phoenix went towards a band of orcs going right through them instantly and killing them, and then he looks over towards Malkorok and sends the phoenix towards him as he was fighting the Admiral and lays a kick to his chest before turning his attention back to the phoenix. That phoenix simply went right through him and blasting from the back to be free, killing Malkorok for Garrosh to see but before Kael would end it here he turns his attention towards the dragon that is burning the marines of Kul Tiras. The phoenix returns to Kael circling around him and sends it towards the dragon, letting the phoenix come towards it like a homing missile like it always does but this time its sacrifice.
The Admiral strikes down one Orc and takes a dead man's rifle and fired towards another one before turning its attention towards the dragon seeing it looking towards him, he stands his ground and looks to the side seeing the phoenix coming towards it, the dragon was about to look towards the phoenix but it was too late it took a hit to the neck hard causing an explosion of the phoenix and causes the dragon to fall to the ground. The Admiral held his sword with two hands to it and charges towards the dragon before it starts to get back up, the dragon turns his head to him and was about to take a bite of him however he ducked and strikes his sword through the bottom of its neck and once running to the other side he turns back and strikes the neck causing the dragon to scream out loud before hitting its head to the ground for the Admiral to finish it, coming towards the dragon to stab his sword through the head of the beast to finally end its wrath.
Kael laughs along with the people cheering, giving them a fighting chance to fight back with the dragon dead. Garrosh comes forth and strikes down two elves and looks over to Kael when he looks back to him. "You're going to pay for killing my pet!"
"This is war Orc... we all have to deal with the losses... especially those who wish to fight for you." Kael looks towards Telestra then quickly looks back to Garrosh, sending a fireball towards him.
"Stupid prince!" He swings his axes forward striking the fireball and charges towards Kael.
"Don't mess with me!" He raise both hands up causing a symbol to appear underneath Garrosh that lasted for a second, once that symbol vanish a combust of flames blasted out of the ground consuming Garrosh in the flames.
Kael stood there and smirks as the flames consumes the area however all the sudden an axe comes out of the smoke and hits him right in the chest, causing him to take a few steps back then falls to the ground. Garrosh comes out of the flames like nothing happened but was had an angry look, walking towards Kael who is still alive trying to slowly get up seeing Garrosh coming towards him.
"Prince Kael'Thas!" Jaina yelled out and swings the lower part of her staff at the ground, causing this water to suddenly appear out of the ground sending this tsunami wave towards Garrosh causing him to fall back and go sliding back along with any other person who gets consumed by the spell. She started running towards Kael to help him up along with Aethas as well.
Aethas and another elf come to help Kael up off the ground. "We have to pull back!" Aethas said to Jaina.
"We can't pull back we have to regroup with Arthas!"
"The way things are going... we can't hold much longer."
Jaina looks back seeing many of their people falling to the ground one by one striking down by the orcs and seeing they may have the numbers but the orcs have the stronger strength and the strong skin, killing them all and nearly wiping out the whole force of Dalaran.
Jaina looks out to the location of Gilneas and towards Kul Tiras marines trying to push back the orcs. "I am sorry my love..." She looks back to the others "Pull everyone back... fall back!"
The Admiral looks over seeing Jaina signalling the retreat. "Damn these red skins..." He looks at one of his marines "Fall back to Hillsbrad!"
The forces of Dalaran and what is left of the elves began to signal the retreat, causing what is left of their forces to return back to Dalaran giving Garrosh control over this land but his orcs keeps killing until he is force to leave them be. Garrosh looks back seeing the marines of Kul Tiras to retreat back to Hillsbrad, he has a choice right now but the only thing for him to do is control the area but he will attack and he will go after the forces of Kul Tiras since he can't really siege Dalaran with what he has.
"Rally to me warriors!" He yells out to his warriors "Looks like we're going to pillage a town after all."
What's left of the orcs started to charge after the humans and leave the forces of Dalaran be, as they go after them Jaina looks back seeing the battlefield a terrible loss and all she could do is retreat back to Dalaran with what is left of their forces. The east did not come to aid the forces of Lordaeron they were left on their own.
On the battlefield the forces continues fighting striking down one by one but they can't hold out as they were getting pushed back, they can't take on the strength of both Gilneas and Easterlings together not to mention that Hammer of Sauron is still fighting Talion while Arthas tries to heal some of his men and keeps on fighting. Arthas striking three more men before looking out seeing the second wave advancing forward, walking to the battlefield and threatening them with their strength, giving them a chance to retreat or they will lose this opportunity to do so.
Talion falls to the ground but still held his sword ready while the Hammer walks forward "I remember when i was one of the first who made it to the top of that white city... i was one of the ones who burned down the white tree..." The Hammer held his mace ready as Talion looks up at him. "I will be the one to destroy the capital!" He swung his mace down at Talion.
The wraith Celebrimbor appears out of Talion and swings his sword upwards at the Hammer, missing his mace he lays a strike to his hand and sending this force push to push him back. Sylvanas comes with three arrows ready and firing towards the Hammer hitting his back three times while Mehlar comes striking down removing his arm and losing his mace. The wraith returns to Talion when he got up and takes a charge towards the Hammer swinging his sword over and over again hitting his chest.
Talion keeps going while the others watch until finally Talion stabs his sword through his mouth to end this. "For my family... you son of a bitch." He pulls the sword out of his mouth letting him fall to the ground.
Mehlar looks back seeing the armies of Gilneas and Easterlings coming. "There's too many of them... we have to pull back."
Arthas strikes down another human and looks over hearing what Mehlar said "Jaina should have been here..." He looks back and hears the horn of Lordaeron calling out as finally reinforcements arrive "Finally."
A force of two thousand knights come riding towards them to help aid against the enemy with Lord Garithos leading the force who stands on his horse holding this black sword with gold lines in the middle, black armour with gold lines around and wearing a black helmet with wings on both sides of it. He looks out at the view and began to signal the knights to ride down to help them out, riding towards them while Arthas and his forces retreat back and try to get out of the way before they get crushed by the hordes, the attackers continues coming and rides out towards them. Garithos and his knights rides past Arthas and his forces and clashes against the infantry to wrap up what is left of this force, ending this fight before the second wave comes forth. The knight's strikes through them instantly striking them down one by one as they didn't have time for a shield defence or the strength to repel against the reinforcements causing the few survivors to retreat and Garithos was about to signal the advance to take care of the rest.
"Signal the charge no –"
"Hold!" Arthas comes on a horse riding towards Garithos before he had a chance to reform the line "Pull the men back."
"Are you serious prince Arthas we have them on the ru –"
"Pull them back now... we can't hold them out here..." He looks out still seeing them marching forward like they don't care "We have to fall back, we don't have the strength to win this fight."
Garithos sighs under his helmet and remains silent for the moment "As you wish... prince Arthas... fall back to the capital now!"
With their infantry retreating back to the capital the knights started to turn back and flee as well as they done what they could have done, removing the first wave but they cannot defeat the second wave they have to obey prince Arthas and retreat as this was their only choice.
Agandaur notices that the first wave is pretty much all destroyed and the forces of Lordaeron started to pull back from this fight. "You see great king... Lordaeron can't survive strength we have done; everything is going according as planned."
"They still have their force." Graymane said "That means they will hold the capital well against our forces."
"It's best to send what we got." He looks at him "Prepare the siege and the forces on standby, we attack with what we have and if we win Sauron will reward you greatly."
