Chapter 222 Gul'dan's Plan
In the dark and solemn meeting hall, Orgrim Doomhammer, the great chieftain of the Orcish tribe, sat on a stone chair covered with ancient animal skins, staring ahead with torch-like eyes.
Around him were the tribe’s top leaders, each of whose faces was filled with anticipation and determination for the upcoming challenges.
Among these leaders, Gul'dan, the warlock in black robes and with a gloomy face, stood out.
"My brothers," Orgrim's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in every corner of the council hall, "the magical barrier of Quel'Thalas is a huge stone in our path. It protects those proud high elves and prevents us from easily reaching their land and wealth. But we must find a way to cross this barrier and let the flag of the Horde fly over Quel'Thalas."
Gul'dan stood up slowly, his eyes flashing with a faint green light, as if he could see through all the secrets of the world.
"Great Chief, I have conducted in-depth research on the barrier. It is not invulnerable, but is woven from powerful arcane energy and has its own operating rules and weaknesses."
Gul'dan's words revealed an unquestionable confidence.
"So, what is your plan?" asked Orgrim, his eyes full of anticipation.
Gul'dan smiled and pointed to the map in the center of the meeting room. "We need an elite team, led by me personally, to sneak into the outskirts of Quel'Thalas and find and destroy the rune stones that maintain the power of the barrier. Once these rune stones are destroyed, the power of the barrier will be greatly weakened, and then we can concentrate all our efforts to break through it in one fell swoop."
"But, Gul'dan," an orc general questioned, "Quel'Thalas is heavily guarded. How can we sneak in quietly and complete the mission?"
Gul'dan sneered, a sly look in his eyes. "We don't need silence, we need speed and surprise. And I have a secret weapon - two-headed ogre mages enhanced by arcane energy. They will be our vanguard, using their power to open a path to the barrier for us."
Orgrim nodded in agreement. "Very good, Gul'dan. Your plan sounds promising. However, remember, we must proceed with caution and not leave any opportunity for the high elves to strike back."
As the warchief's orders were issued, the leaders of the tribe nodded in agreement and began to prepare for the upcoming action. Under Gul'dan's planning, a battle against the magical barrier of Quel'Thalas quietly began.
It turned out that in the crucial operation of conquering Quel'Thalas' magical barrier, Gul'dan demonstrated his cunning and wisdom.
He had long discovered that the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas had erected a powerful magical barrier around it - Bandinorel, which means "Guardian of the Border". It is composed of many huge rune stones connected to each other. These holy objects can prevent the Burning Legion and other outsiders from sensing the arcane magic of the high elves, while also weakening the power of enemies such as the Amani trolls.
Gul'dan discovered the barrier and realized it was a major obstacle to the Horde's advance. In order to weaken the barrier, he formulated a plan.
Gul'dan stared at the front with his eyes flashing with cunning, and muttered to himself: "As long as we destroy those rune stones, we can disrupt that damn barrier and make our powerful tribe even stronger!" After that, he waved his hand violently and led the warlocks and warriors of the tribe, sneaking into the outer area of Quel'Thalas like a ghost.
This mysterious and dangerous land was filled with a strange atmosphere, but Gul'dan and his followers were not afraid. They carefully shuttled through the dense forest, avoiding the patrolling elven guards, and carefully searched every corner where the rune stone might be hidden.
Finally, their efforts paid off and they found the first rune stone. It emitted a faint light, as if warning those who came not to approach easily. But Gul'dan didn't care? He directed his men to act quickly and cast various spells to try to break the defense of the rune stone. After a fierce battle, the rune stone finally shattered in a dazzling light.
In this way, Gul'dan led the crowd to continue moving forward, finding other rune stones one by one, and successfully dismantling them all. When the last rune stone turned into powder, Gul'dan laughed triumphantly: "Haha, now let's see how that barrier can still resist the footsteps of our tribe!"
After successfully dismantling the rune stone, Gul'dan did not stop his ambitious plan.
He collected the precious fragments of the relics and, with the help of the Storm Clan, began to build a huge Storm Altar, which towered into the clouds, surrounded by rolling thunder and lightning, and emitted a frightening energy wave.
Gul'dan then performed an ancient ritual of the Highmaul ogres, a ritual said to be able to infuse raw arcane magic into living things, causing them to undergo wondrous changes.
As Gul'dan muttered something, dazzling rays of magical light shot out from his hands and penetrated into the bodies of ordinary ogres.
The ogres roared in pain and their bodies began to tremble violently. Soon, their originally huge heads split into two, and each head had a pair of sharp eyes and a hideous mouth.
These transformed two-headed ogre mages not only possess intelligence far beyond that of ordinary people, but also master powerful arcane magic abilities.
Soon, these new ogre mages became an important fighting force in the tribe.
They followed Gul'dan into battle and, with their powerful strength, put enormous pressure on the enemy.
However, despite this, the extremely solid barrier still stands, like an insurmountable chasm.
Gul'dan stood in the distance, staring at the barrier with a frown on his face. He knew that it was a pipe dream to try to break through the barrier with only the existing strength.
However, he would never give up, because he knew that once this line of defense was broken, the entire Quel'Thalas would fall into the control of the tribe...
At that moment, without any hesitation, he resolutely embarked on the journey of looking for other possible breakthroughs.
Every step was full of hardships, but his eyes remained firm and persistent. After a long period of exploration and groping, he finally found the hidden and difficult-to-detect weakness of the barrier.
