The Dark Star falling from the sky not only caused huge casualties to the tribe, but also stalled their offensive against Shattrath.
How heroic the orcs were before they attacked Shattrath, how miserable they are now.
But the Dark Star's damage to the orcs was not limited to the casualties themselves.
Tens of thousands of elite warriors died on the spot, and more than 20,000 warriors lost their combat effectiveness to varying degrees. Coupled with the casualties under Shattrath City, the orc casualties in this war were almost close to 50,000.
You know, even if the orc race is spread all over Draenor, the total population is only a million. Even if all the people are soldiers, most of the orcs are old, weak, women and children or ordinary hard laborers. About one-third of the population can fight, and even fewer of them can be called elites. Therefore, this is an anticlimax. It can be said that the siege war did cause a major blow to the orcs.
But compared to the psychological blow, the direct physical damage is negligible.
Unlike the human kingdom of Azeroth, the orcs' civilization is even more backward. If the humans of Azeroth are in the age of feudal kingdoms, then the orcs are in the age of clans and slaves. And compared to agricultural civilization, they are closer to barbaric nomads.
This resulted in the orc tribe's governance and organization level being much lower than that of humans and draenei, and the entire tribe was nothing more than a loose federation.
Although Warchief Blackhand has laid the foundation of his rule through powerful force and is assisted by the Shadow Council, such a rule still lacks prestige.
You know, in the past, the orc clans also organized tribes, but they were just temporary organizations organized to fight against the ogres, the common enemy of the orcs at that time. After defeating the ogres, they returned to a mess.
The purpose of Blackhand and Gul'dan is to truly establish the tribe's rule over all orcs.
By exaggerating the threat of the draenei, the benefits of conquering the draenei, and the previous victory over the draenei, coupled with the catalysis of"corrupted blood", the tribe finally organized an attack on Shattrath. General attack.
In the planning of Blackhand, Gul'dan and others, the Battle of Shattrath is equivalent to the first stop of the complete establishment of the tribe. The victory of this battle can greatly increase the cohesion of the tribe, help increase the prestige of Blackhand, and will rule the world. continue.
Unfortunately, this first battle failed.
This defeat was a huge blow to Blackhand and the prestige of the tribe. It also fueled the arrogance of those who were skeptical of the tribe, led by Durotan, the chief of the Frostwolf clan.
The most frightening thing is that in order to establish enough prestige in the war, those who took the lead in the attack on Shattrath were basically the elites of the big clans that supported the establishment of the tribe. Now most of these elites have been lost, which is equal to the number of tribe supporters. Power was lost.
Due to the ebb and flow of the situation, the internal situation of the tribe is now very unstable.
Faced with this situation, even Kil'jaeden had a particularly good idea.
It was he who was the mastermind behind the conquest of the draenei. He was the most worried about not being able to capture Shattrath, but the pursuit of the draenei had always been his personal goal as the second-in-command of the Burning Legion - Sargeras. It has always been the"strongest Titan" Azeroth that has not yet been born.
It is precisely because of this that he does not have much power from the Burning Legion and must use the orcs to deal with Delaney.
Faced with the current situation, he could only wait patiently for Blackhand and Gul'dan to appease the current tribe before he could organize a second attack.
But appeasing people is no easy task.
In addition, Gul'dan also sent scouts and warlocks from the Shadow Council to Auchindoun for investigation. They did not dare to attack rashly again until they figured out the source of the"Dark Star".
If they get another"nuclear bomb" by then, where will they go to reason?
This gives the draenei enough buffer time.
In Shattrath City, Velen and the Holy Light faction got a temporary break. They had enough time to prepare more supplies, repair the city walls, strengthen military equipment, and develop ways to deal with the methods displayed by the orcs during the siege.
In Auchindoun, Yrel personally presided over the defense. As for Ye Ting, he had already rushed into the laboratory with Romul and a large number of Draenei technicians.
After seeing the technology of the draenei, Ye Ting was actually very surprised by the situation of the draenei at this time.
As a native of Kyushu, Ye Ting can be regarded as a proper industrialist and farming party. In terms of governance, he advocates rejuvenating the country through science and technology and industry, and builds high walls to accumulate grain. This can be seen from his construction of the Xianqin Empire.
In his heart, the draenei have not fully utilized their technological potential. A large amount of technology that could have greatly enhanced the draenei's productivity and strength was wasted in unknown places. It is really a waste of resources.
What he couldn't stand the most was that the Draenei obviously had so many highly skilled engineers, but their production methods were still limited to the small workshops of craftsmen. It was a huge waste.
Can you imagine a powerful"Guardian" construct, a dense magical creation that is infinitely similar to a large mecha, and every part of it is hand-made by Draenei technicians?
After learning this, Ye Ting's head was filled with thoughts"????"
Able to build mechas with bare hands, are these technicians as good as Tony Stark per capita? But even Tony Stark knows how to mass-produce armor using machines and assembly lines.
In fact, this problem is not unique to the Draenei, such as the mages of Dalaran, the high elves of Silvermoon City, the dwarves of Gnomeregan, and the goblins of Booty Bay... any race with a certain level of technology has Have similar problems.
Too much emphasis on personal abilities.
This may also be a shortcoming of magical civilization compared with technological civilization.
According to Ye Ting's estimation, it would take at least a month for the orcs to recover from this battle.
After delaying the draenei for a month, he would use this month to make an earth-shaking transformation for the draenei.
Within this month, he will significantly adjust the technology tree of the draenei, so that the strength of this group of iron hanhans who are"empty but unable to penetrate" will be even higher.
This idea sounds exaggerated, but it is actually nothing.
Because Ye Ting's transformation is completely based on the current technological level of the draenei people. The specific transformation is only the thinking mode and production mode, and he does not intend to import too many technologies that the draenei people do not understand.
According to Ye Ting's understanding in the past few days, the average level of draenei technicians is completely sufficient. With the cooperation of this group of draenei technicians, the transformation will definitely go smoothly. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
