WARCRAFT IV -- CHAPTER 2 - United under One Banner (Horde Campaign)

Fall of the Fel Horde

Upon reassembling their troops once more, the leaders of the Horde ready themselves for their last war battle against the forces of the Legion on the Black Citadel. They marshal an army that consists of grunts, taurens, raiders, troll berserkers, shamans, witch doctors, spirit walkers, ogre magi, ogre maulers, kodo beast drummers, and demolishers. Wasting no time, the leaders of the Horde destroy the gate that was guarded by Tagar, and lead their forces to charge towards the innermost chambers of the citadel. The Horde army is now more than ready to fight the last demon and fel orc defenders.

Within the innermost chambers lies the last and most fortified demonic camp on the Black Citadel. Built with very strong defenses, the base within the innermost chamber is protected by a huge force of demons and fel orcs that consists of fel orc grunts, fel orc raiders, fel orc warlocks, doom guards, infernals, fel ravagers, eredar warlocks, voidwalkers, overlords, and infernal juggernauts. Standing behind the huge demonic camp is the Shattered Hand Clan Chieftain and Warchief of the Fel Horde himself, Kargath Bladefist, who holds the magical Shadowkeys and is guarding the entrance to the throne chamber of the citadel. Kargath Bladefist is the mightiest fel orc blademaster upon Outland.

Dranosh: "Warchief, those demons and fel orcs there are all commanded by Bladefist himself. This will be our toughest battle here! All our remaining foes have gathered for their last line of defense!"

Thrall: "Kargath Bladefist. We will finally meet the warchief of the fel orcs. Brace yourselves, my warriors! This is their final holdout in this citadel! We all came this far, and it is time that we finish all the rest of the demonic forces here! Lok-tar ogar! Strike now! Let none survive! For the Horde!"

Wasting no time, the Horde armies led by Thrall, Dranosh, Rexxar, Rokhan, and Cairne launch an aggressive charge against the demonic base on the innermost chambers of the citadel. A final heavy war battle occurs between the Horde army and the forces of the Legion. For a one last time; Thrall, Dranosh, Rexxar, Rokhan, and Cairne make use of all their skills and powers in leading their troops to battle against the demons and fel orcs. The great leadership and the combination of the powerful abilities of Thrall, Dranosh, Rexxar, Rokhan, and Cairne give the Horde armies the advantage they need on the battle. Many warriors from both the opposing sides are falling on the battlefield as the Horde makes a fiercely effective siege against the fortified demonic encampment. After a while of bloody relentless battling, the Horde eventually claimed the victory by destroying the last demonic camp on the Black Citadel. The Horde lost a considerable amount of warriors during the war battle, but they had slain all of the demons and fel orcs within the innermost chamber of the citadel. After razing the demonic base, the Horde leaders brace themselves upon finally facing Kargath Bladefist.

Thrall: "Lok-tar, my warriors! We finally did it! Their defenses are broken! Victory is nearly ours!"

Dranosh: "Warchief, we had almost secured the citadel! The downfall of the Legion is inevitable!"

Kargath: "It is not wise to celebrate your victory too early, pup! It is not yet over until it is over!"

Thrall: "Kargath Bladefist of the Shattered Hand! So we meet at last!"

Kargath: "Ah so the new Horde had finally come. My masters told me everything about all of you, most especially you, son of Durotan! The human slave orcling that had become the new warchief."

Thrall: "Then, I suppose there is no need for any introductions here, Bladefist. I have already heard much about you from Hellscream. Once a proud warlord and mighty warrior for the Horde, it is a shame to see what you have become. There is no hope left for you! You foolishly gave yourself to the Legion! Now, you are only a shadow of your former self! You are just a lapdog of the demons!"

Kargath: "You know nothing, little warchief? Quite ironic that you should mention Grom when he and I once both willingly gave ourselves to the Legion! Together, we were unstoppable! Grom and I are not so different! Now, I have become something greater and stronger than I ever was before!"

Thrall: "Grom have done the same mistake before, but he redeemed himself! He had given his own life to undo his sins and free us all from the demonic curse while you have damned our people on these lands! You have forced your own kin into becoming a vile cursed wretch like you, Bladefist!"

Kargath: "Fools! I have given them a new chance for greatness under the Legion! By receiving the gift of power from Lord Azgoth, they will receive a new strength that they never even knew before! Garm, Jorin, and even Garrosh, the son of Grom himself! He shall follow in the steps of his father! They shall become vessels of destruction as the next mighty agents of the Legion just like we did!"

Thrall: "We shall not let them become like you! Where are they?! What have you done to them?!"

Kargath: "Do you really want to know?! They are behind this gate with Lord Azgoth himself! You cannot do anything to rescue them now, son of Durotan! For you will have to go through me first!"

Thrall: "We had already defeated your forces, Bladefist! Now, it is time that we put an end to you!"

Dranosh: "Warchief! Grant me this chance to challenge Kargath myself! I shall show him the folly of his pathetic faith to the Legion by showing him the great strength of a true warrior of the Horde!"

Thrall: "Very well, Dranosh! I will let you fight him! Bring honor for your clan and for the Horde!"

Kargath: "So, the young Saurfang is challenging me?! Let us see what you can do, pup! I just hope that you are half as strong as your father for you to be truly called chieftain of the Blackrock Clan!"

The vicious one-on-one fight between Dranosh Saurfang and Kargath Bladefist starts with the both of them engaging against one another and their weapons fiercely clashing. Both great warriors use their deadly blademaster abilities that nearly mirrors one another. Kargath is an old veteran warrior who has many of battle experiences on past wars while Dranosh is a young strong warrior that had risen to chieftainship with his natural leadership and great skills upon battle. The veteran Shattered Hand Clan Chieftain, and the young Blackrock Clan Chieftain are evenly matched warriors against each other, but somehow, Dranosh was able get the upper hand in their battle. Having been trained in battle by Dharl of the Thrice-Bloodied Blade, Dranosh make use of everything he learned in his training from the oldest blademaster of the Burning Blade Clan. Despite being the strongest fel orc blademaster in Outland and a veteran warlord, Kargath is outmatched by the skills of Dranosh who had learned from the oldest blademaster of the Horde. After a little while of fierce battling, Dranosh got the better of Kargath, and was able to overwhelm him on their battle. Kargath stands weak and defenseless when Dranosh fiercely strikes him with his axe as a last killing blow. Dranosh Saurfang has defeated Kargath Bladefist. Dranosh has successfully beaten one of the fiercest warriors known to the Horde. Kargath leaves out his some of his final words before passing away from his wounds.

Kargath: "You are strong after all... young Saurfang... So, this is the strength of the new Horde..."

Dranosh: "I have beaten you, Bladefist! Your reign of terror with the demons on Outland is over!"

Thrall: "Your faith for your demon masters have failed you, and your entire Fel Horde is destroyed! Our Horde is the only true Horde now! You were a fool to give yourself for the Legion, Bladefist!"

Kargath: "There was no other choice... son of Durotan... I did what I had to... But now, I can see clearly... Yes... The blood curse that has long consumed me... is lifted... I... am finally... free..."

Thrall: "I wish you could have done things differently. At least now, you are free just like Grom."

Dranosh: "At last, we have defeated Bladefist and his minions! We have breached the defenses of this citadel! Our victory in this war draws near! Only the Pit Lord Azgoth stands before our might!"

Thrall: "Yes! It is time that we face that mongrel, and put an end to his terrible reign over Outland!"
