《History of the Orcs According to, The Beginning: Breath Of War》History of the Orcs - The Honor Blades
Advertisement
While Warlord Magrobark solidified his hold on the Red Lands and crushed the remaining rebellious elements. High Shaman Karsog appointed Warlord Darkoza to take command of the seven WarHordes that poured back into Caldasher, where they were greeted by allied tribes, his armies bolstered by thousands of goblin warriors.
Employing a similar strategy used in the early years of the war with Caldasher, Warlord Darkoza sent out WarHordes in all directions to quell the unrest and wipe clean any rebellious goblin factions from the face of Coroleya simultaneously.
The first battle to take place in Caldasher, began near the goblin City of Aroy'sika'lorie south-west of the Mountains of Kalswan. Warlord Riyrok with 21,000 Orcs and 18,000 goblins marched his forces towards the City, where they encountered an immense goblin host. (Estimates vary between 2.1 million to 2.6 million). Sending word to nearby WarHordes of this imposing threat, Riyrok attempted to pull his forces back to the safety of the Mountains, when scouts brought him news of a Minotaur force landing right behind them with roughly 58,000 troops. Having never foreseen the possibility of an alliance between the Land of Dreams and the Goblins of Caldasher, Warlord Ryrok was forced to divide his forces in two. The Unblooded( 2,300 Orcs) along with the Orc Shields(1,700 Orcs) and goblin forces would be arrayed against the advances of the goblin host from the south, while the bulk of the Orc armies would meet the Minotaurs in the north.
Lord Tragor commander of the Minotaur army in charge of of 18,000 Honor Blades (elite warriors of the highest caliber) and backed by a dozen companies of Fae'lonic Archers from the Isles of Neeven (6,500 Fae'lon), along with a small complement of Werewolf warriors (1,300 Werewolves). After capturing and securing the Orcish stronghold Bal'Tier (A breeding ground for goblins). They set to work building a strong defensive position at the base of the Mountains of Kalswan, using the stronghold as the anchor point for the left side of their army, while their right side was protected by the Minotaur Warfleet. Making any approach to attack the well-entrenched Minotaurs extremely difficult if not treacherous.

Warlord Riyrok having received detailed reports of the Minotaur's battle plans, halted his march forward and was considering waiting for additional Warhordes to provide support for his beleaguered forces, when the Aroy'sika'lorie goblins struck. Sweeping across the field like a tidal wave they hammered their goblin allies and drove the Unblooded back. Fearing his rear guard would collapse under the weight of so many enemies, he sent out a 3rd of the Iron Skins to stem the tide and slow their push. This move, while slowing the advance of the goblin war host, left their right flank vulnerable to attack and Lord Tragor sensing an opportunity to strike, quickly brought 54,000 troops to bear down upon the stalled Orcish army catching them completely off guard.
With the goblin host closing rapidly on their rear and their frontlines taking heavy losses from the Honor Blades that hacked deep into their ranks. Riyrok commanded the Berserkers to reinforce the flanks of his army and break the Minotaur army, which Lord Tragor immediately countered by sending in the Werewolves and Fae'lon.
The battle raged back and forth with the allied forces refusing to give up any ground against the Berserkers that tore at their ranks. Until finally cracks began to appear in the Orcish battle lines. Warlord Riyrok having yet to commit the remaining Iron Skins watched the unfolding battle with dismay, before launching the Iron Skins in a wide swing to attack the enemy rear in the hopes of ending the fight. That should have been the end of the Allied armies, however the Iron Skin force was too few and the goblin war host had finally broken through the rear guard to swamp the Orcish army from behind. Battered and surrounded from all sides by enemies. The Warhorde fought even harder to break free, but it was not enough. In the end only a few bands of Orcs managed to rip free of the chaotic battle to escape.

Shadows in the Dawn Mist
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - Winner November 2020 When a young woman is lured back to her homeland for the opportunity of a life time, she must face old fears. But never would she think that facing up to her past would change everything. Is History written by the victors, or by someone or something else...? *** I started writing this a few years ago and eventually fell out of love with it. I never finished it and my newer books are being written in different writing style, and genre with a more planned process. I decided to revisit it for the writathon and found that it wasn't as hopeless as I'd come to think. Hopefully, I've improved as a writer since them so the consistency may vary. Its been good to revisit and analyse my writing which I feel used to have some clunky and obvious dialogue which I'm trying to fix. This will always be my first novel and I hope, with a little exposure, I may come to like it again. Thanks for reading!
