It didn't take long for word to spread.

Orcs are gathering south of Yew!

Lord British had sent word to the four corners of the realm.

The Knights of the Order prepared for battle, meeting in Yew with the Militia and the Dwarves from Vestland. They would meet the Orcs head-on before they had a chance to march towards a Britannian city.

The first orcs they encountered were Bloodrock Orcs! A small party of them, presumably scouting for the Shadowclan. If there is one thing these two herds of animals can agree upon is their hatred for good, honest people.



The fight then turned to the Shadowclan Fort, where a sizeable orcish horde had amassed along with bombers, lords and all manner of other brutes.



A party of Orcs and Undead emerged from the fort to meet the Britannians and Dwarves in battle. The sounds of bones cracking and flames bursting rang out through the woods, and in the end both sides sustained heavy casualties. Among the Orcs was a figure clad in shadow iron armor and with ashen skin. This brute was significantly stronger than the rest of the horde and cut through the valiant Britannians, forcing them to fall back.





Finally they returned, and seeing the Dark Orc was no longer to be found set siege to the orc's stronghold, managing to breach the wall on a few occasions.



Their assault was relentless, but in the end a large war party of Bloodrock Orcs transported in along with three mojoka, dispersing the force of Britannian fighters.

Scouts later reported that once having rid themselves of Human interference, the brainless Orcs turned against one-another.
