The center trolls began to execute their part of the plan, retreating step by step, just enough to give the illusion of being overwhelmed. They grunted under the weight of orc blows, shields clanging against axes and swords. Their retreat was slow, deliberate, and carefully measured. Orc war cries filled the air as the orc vanguard sensed victory in sight. They surged forward with increasing ferocity, believing that they had found a weak spot in the troll defenses.
The orc commander, seeing the troll center faltering, ordered his warriors to press harder. His confidence grew as his wedge formation drove deeper into the trolls' lines. The orcs, powerful and brutal in their assault, hacked through the troll ranks, creating a widening breach in the center. The orc foot soldiers surged into the gap, believing they could split the troll army in two.
