Ultimately, only two hundred thousand people had retreated back to Dun Morogh.
But what the Horde did next made things difficult for the Alliance.
The Horde used goblin bombs to destroy several tunnels in the Loch Modan mountain range.
It's worth noting that towering mountains lie between Dun Morogh and the Wetlands, and one must go through these Dwarf-built tunnels to reach them.
Now that these tunnels were destroyed, it was nearly impossible for the army to launch a direct attack.
They would either have to take the sea route or make a massive detour via the Searing Gorge-Burning Steppes route.
Gedwyn hastily convened the Alliance leaders to discuss the next steps of the campaign, even worrying that the Horde might take the opportunity to attack Ironforge.
To his surprise, the Horde then abandoned Kaz Modan as well, retreating directly to Stormwind City after joining forces with the Bleeding Hollow Clan's besieging Legion.
