A fight across Tol Barad is going underway as Garithos and his forces started marching through the road until they reach to the bridge, Garithos and his forces have already engaged in battle against Garrosh and his chaos orcs, they come fighting at the front of the bridge pushing back the Alliance but Garithos is getting serious in this fight by fighting in the front lines striking against chaos orcs, hard to kill them but he keeps on going and so does Auric, standing nearby stabbing through an orcs head then swings through to remove his head. Auric looks over to Garithos seeing him sending a shockwave to others, continues to push the attack against the orcs for a while with what he has.
Garrosh was standing at the front of the bridge looking out seeing the orcs being pushed back, seeing some of his orcs running past him. "Unbelievable..." He raises his axe and beheads an Orc that tried to run past him. "Fall back you weak cowards!" Then turns back and started walking back over the bridge.
"The orcs are retreating !" Garithos yells out "Forward!" He charges with the Alliance behind him striking down the orcs when they try to run out of there, retreating back over the bridge to regroup on the other side. "Don't let them breathe!"
The Alliance keeps charging through until Garrosh and his warriors makes it to the other side, there they will be dealing with a large number of chaos orcs waiting for them, five hundred chaos orcs and five hundred Uruks stands there all armed and ready for Garithos and his forces to come rushing over the bridge, giving them a large space for the Alliance to come through to clash against them. Garithos would stop at the end of the bridge causing the Alliance to stand behind him, he stands next to Auric looking out as the orcs stands there waiting for them, Garrosh just got into his position and turns back standing ready with his dual axes.
"It's a large number sir... you think we can take them all?" Auric asked looking at Garithos.
"Yes."
They started running through over the bridge spreading out but instead of charging towards the orcs they bring forth a dwarven tank over the bridge that was behind them, the tank armed with a cannon and a few rockets behind it. The tank comes towards them and then fired its main gun blasting through a few orcs then fires the rest of the rockets towards them all blasting them back, the Alliance charges afterwards towards the orcs and they charge as well, the marines with their rifles jumps on the tank and started shooting out towards them while the tank started driving towards them to run them over. The Alliance comes clashing against the orcs here trying to push them back and if they don't push them back then they will be force to be pulled back on the bridge again, fighting there on a small area.
Garrosh striking through the humans one by one and looks over towards that tank that started driving through a few orcs that can't move out of the way, it fired its main cannon towards one of the towers obliterating the top of it killing four orcs up there. Garithos stabs through another Orc then looks to the side seeing Garrosh, he pulls the sword out of him then hits the ground sending a shockwave towards him but he moved out of the way, taking out a few orcs and two humans in the crossfire. Auric runs through jumping over an Orc and stabbing behind him then swings forward cutting through another orcs neck and clashes against an Uruk on the field, hitting his sword twice before stabbing through the chest and looking back to Garithos who comes charging towards Garrosh.
Garrosh looks back and clashes against Garithos moving back and soon he lost his left axe but he ducks and punches the side of his armour, laying a kick to him to push him back then holds his axe with two hands, charges towards him and clashes against his sword making the two look at one another dead in the face close range. Garithos head buts him then swings upwards to lay a cut to his armour, Garrosh swings at him but missed and Garithos hits his chest with the back end of his sword hitting him hard then swings back cutting his shoulder and swings again, missing Garrosh as he ducks and lays a hit to his chin with the back end of his axe knocking him back and swings at Garithos hitting his shoulder with the axe but didn't go deep enough, Garrosh pushes him back and moves away from him to grab another axe while Garithos tries to get the axe out of his body.
Garrosh grabs another axe from a dead blade master on the ground then turns back to Garithos, he comes swinging that axe down at him but he blocked it with the axe, once they were stuck together Garithos lets go of the axe then holds his sword and stabs through Garrosh to the chest but didn't go right through but he runs forward to make him go backwards until he pulls the sword out of his body but Garrosh wants more action, laying a punch across his face and hitting him again before moving backwards still holding the axe and got the other one on the ground, swinging his axe at Garithos but missed and backs away but Garrosh keeps moving back, signalling one of his orcs to go after Garithos while he moves away. Garithos sends a shockwave at them to send them flying then charges towards him.
All the sudden the moment he swings down at him Garrosh blocks it with this long black spear but suddenly the moment they collide Garrosh was not there, replaced by the Tower of Sauron, looking down at him laughing at Garithos as he scared him when he did that. Garithos moved backwards then gets a stab from his spear and the real Garrosh appears behind Garithos stabbing through his chest with a long sword, twisting the sword and letting it stay in his body.
Auric pushes an Orc out of the way and looks out seeing the Tower and Garrosh killing Garithos, letting him fall to the ground dead and losing the Alliance's leadership and control over the campaign. Auric looks out seeing heavy flaming fireballs from a catapult nearby, firing towards the tank and finally obliterating it, taking out a couple of people in the process and also losing control over the battlefield as the orcs are pushing the Alliance back.
"Were losing control..." He said to himself and pushes an Uruk away then looks at the others "Fall back! Fall back!"
The Alliance retreats back over the bridge while the orcs advance forward, controlling the area again and holding at the bridge, not going after them. The Tower of Sauron stands there with Garrosh who holds his wounds looking out while Auric looks back at them while he retreats back, knowing he has to take them out. The orcs hold position while the Alliance runs over the bridge and started to return to one of the places where they can catch a break and prepare a new strategy.
They retreated to the north over the bridge and finally stopping until Auric started to tell them to hold and catch a break, he looks back to the bridge knowing there not coming then started to organise the army again, taking control of it and replacing Garithos.
Auric Sunchaser finally got everyone all organised and wishes to prepare a secondary attack against Tol Barad, Auric decided to pull the men back a little further and started to try to send out scouts to deliver message to the main land. Auric gets a few birds and sends messages to them, he wants them to go to Dalaran so they could maybe get reinforcements, getting wizards could pose a good asset to them since they only have one tank left.
Garrosh returns to Baradin Garrison to recover while the Tower of Sauron walks in there seeing how he is going, he pushes the orcs back as he doesn't want to get any medical attention. Garrosh looks over to the Tower and stands up. "I don't need any help... i need to be there with my army!"
"They are not going anywhere and neither is the Alliance."
"We are in a stalemate then?"
"Indeed... don't worry we will commence the attack soon, just be ready to head out there. I will send the army out there with or without you."
"I am ready." He gets up and grabs his axes and started walking out of there.
The Tower looks back then he appears in front of him. "Just remember that i control this island, Agandaur controls the orcs and Gilneas in Lordaeron so don't think that you give us orders, we give you and the orcs orders. Without us you would all be destroyed by the Alliance."
He growls a bit then walks past him heading outside while the Tower looks back at him. While they argue and try to prepare for a strike back the forces of the Alliance retreat further to the north, Auric finally got his forces organise and held their position, looking back knowing the orcs won't come anytime soon so it's a good time for him to take command and work on a strategy to strike back against the orcs. He decides to call for help by getting a few hawks to send a message to Dalaran and hope they can call for reinforcements, he even got a few dwarves to run back to their ship so they can sail it towards the land because on the message he asked for some soldiers to join them here and are sending a ship to the land so they can get picked up, all Auric has to do now is wait for the time being until they call for help but they decided to return to the base just in case the orcs attack, knowing that the base is fit and still strong enough to hold against them if they come.
While they wait a while Auric stands with a few Alliance soldiers discussing a plan of action, some started to worry about this since Garithos is dead and they can't break through to Tol Barad. "This mission is a bust... we have to abandon the campaign here!"
"We can't do that..." Said one of the elves with his arms crossed standing next to the marine "We abandon now they will attack Lordaeron; i refuse to let Dalaran fall. These beasts almost killed our prince, i won't abandon this campaign."
"All we have to do is wait and hold out." Auric interferes 'I have sent word to Dalaran to call for help, they will come and i hope they will. The king wants Tol Barad to return to Alliance property and only then we can attack Gilneas."
"I hope we go to Gilneas." One of the humans said "Can't wait to burn that city to the ground."
"When the time is right corporal... when he time is right."
One of the scouts returns from his scouting mission to report to Auric. "Sir we got company, two mages what it seems there both from Dalaran."
Auric walks past his men to see the scout "Show me."
"This way sir." He turns back and leaves the base to show him and his men the mages and reinforcements from the north eastern part of the land.
Two mages that has come to Dalaran to help against the attack on the orcs, one of them is Arcanist Adurin and his partner a Magister named Surdiel. Both Adurin and Surdiel brought an army of three hundred with them, all here from the dwarven ship to help against the enemy, hoping this is enough to attack Tol Barad again. They all return to the base and form a battle plan against Tol Barad but the real problem is the bridge since it's the only way to get across, there isn't much of a strategy there since it's the only way to get through and would have to fight the orcs on the other side, it's going to be a fight of mere strength in order to win the push and to siege Tol Barad with what they have after the victory over the bridge.
They got a plan ready and are ready to move out, all of them started to march back to the bridge where the orcs will be waiting for them. At the front of the bridge the orcs are standing their ground but once they spot the Alliance coming back for some more they retreat back, running back over the bridge to contact the rest of the forces, sending them back into a curve formation away from the bridge, waiting for them to get across. Auric and his two mages stands with him at the front while his armies started walking over the bridge, once they made it to the other side they stand their ground leaving the rest of his forces on the bridge. He just simply looks over to the orcs who stands their ground and so does his forces, he drew his sword and raises it in the air and soon dragonhawks appear from above.
The dragonhawks he got from Dalaran will be good against their ground forces, coming at thirty of them and even gryphons as well coming at ten, they come swooping down upon them, sending their projectiles down at the orcs giving them distracted against them, once they were all looking up the two mages Adurin and Surdiel sends their arcane projectiles at the orcs then Auric charges with the army, clashing against the orcs a second time and pushing them back trying to push them back so his forces can get over the bridge.
While the flyers deal with the ground forces and the Alliance pushing back the orcs Garrosh comes out seeing there under attack again. "Since when did they bring air forces?!"
"They must have called for reinforcements." One of the Uruks said
Garrosh strikes through the Uruk through the head. "Come on!" Then signals the others behind him to join the fight.
Auric and the Alliance held their ground perfectly against the orcs and soon they were force to push back, breaking their lines and fighting hard against the Alliance, Auric strikes his way through fighting through both Uruks and chaos orcs until he stops and spots Garrosh coming with a hundred orcs and Uruks behind him, he moves back and gets the second siege tank to drive on through, getting the men out of the way and driving through the orcs, firing the main cannon sending it over the area and smashing through a building that was further away, then started firing missiles towards Garrosh and his warriors. Garrosh saw it and moved out of the way looking back and seeing his group being destroyed by the rockets, taking them all out with a barrage of missiles. He looks over to that tank and started charging towards the Alliance to help his warriors in battle.
They push on through finally breaking their lines and got half his army over the bridge, fighting through hard with what they have until finally Auric stabs through an Uruk and then clashes against Garrosh, taking a hit across the face and sending him falling back on the ground while Garrosh started walking over to him with his two dual axes.
"You can't break through this fortress... you don't have the power to defeat the horde!"
Auric slowly stands up and grabs his sword. "I bet to differ Warchief." He swings his sword upwards making him move back.
He swings again forward when he moves forward but Garrosh blocks his second swing then moved to the side and elbows him across the face pushing him back, swinging his axes and almost cutting him, making a slight cut on his armour. Auric charges again swinging against his axes blocking his attacks twice until Auric hits Garrosh at the back of his sword, spinning back to strike through one of his axes breaking it then looks forward, jumping at Garrosh to swing his sword down at him cutting his arm and pushing him back.
While Garrosh backs away ignoring his wound he looks back to Auric while he walks closer "Going to be a coward and switch places with the other man?'
That caused him to get madder "I don't need him to kill you!" He swings forward again but Auric moved out of the way and moved to the side then swings upwards removing his arm, removing his right arm.
Garrosh looks at his arm while he was backing away, placing his hand over it to stop the bleeding but that didn't work, Auric swings again at him while he was down removing his other arm in the process, sending him falling to the ground with both arms gone. As he was close to finish him off he swings down at him but suddenly Garrosh was replaced by the Tower once again, pushing Auric back while he stands there looking down at him.
"I knew that fool would destroy all of this... but yet i need him alive." The Tower held his black spear in the middle of it looking at Auric. He was about to take a step forward but he looks to the side seeing a fireball coming at him from Surdiel, vanishing before he takes the hit letting the fireball hit the ground.
"There retreating!" Adurin yelled out "We can attack the main compound!"
"March to Ironclad Garrison!" Auric yells out and started running towards that Garrison in the east, moving to the left entrance with his army behind him.
The Alliance comes charging through the Garrison clashing through the orcs and pushing them inside, some of the Alliance went around to attack at the front while the defenders worry about the ones from the rear, they try to fight them off as much as they can and they do, they fight hard against the Alliance for a while until the Tower returns with a present to give to the Alliance. One of the demons comes with him named Alizabal, wielding six blades and started moving towards the Alliance to join the defence against them, she strikes through one of the mages striking through the Arcanist Adurin.
"How I HATE this place. My captors may be long-dead, but don't think I won't take it all out on you miserable humans!"
Auric tries to move the men back while she started striking through anyone who got in her way. "There my forces too... don't kill everyone!" The Tower shouts to her while she keeps dancing.
"I hate adventurers!"
Auric backs away with his men then quickly grabs one of the dead soldiers rifle to fire at Alizabal, hitting her chest but wasn't enough. "Damn... everyone get back away from that demon!" He shouts to his men then grabs his sword.
While she keeps moving forward striking through alot of people Auric rallies his elves and stands ready, once she stops and looks down at them she was ready to attack. "Get ready to attack it..."
She started to dance again swinging her blades everywhere. "Break off!" Auric yells and causes his elves to scatter and moving back to avoid her swings, evading them but two of his elves took a few hits and fell, Auric and the rest held their position once she stops then they charge at all directions in front of her. "Get her now!"
Two marines fired their weapons at her to weaken her while the rest started striking her, she takes down two of them but she got two of her arms removed, soon Auric ends up with a strike through her chest and two more bullet holes through her chest again. She falls to the ground and the orcs started to retreat back to the main place to Baradin Hold, the Tower stands there looking at Auric then vanishes back to the compound where he will bring forth the other demons into the fight.
"Push them back... we will take Baradin Hold tonight!" Auric shouts to his men then they started charging out to siege the main place of Tol Barad.
(Damn didn't think i would have to do a part three on something like this, woah...)
