Blood spatters erupted on the dwarves' iron shields.
Though outnumbered by the orc elites, the dwarves' unmatched strength and their vast shields, forged by their clan's Blacksmiths, offered a surprisingly robust defense.
Hundreds of dwarf warriors quickly formed into three square formations.
The foremost formation, composed of one hundred and fifty dwarves, bravely met the onslaught of the orcs head-on.
Their strength rivaled the orc elites, yet their defense was even more formidable.
Any orc blade that met their shields would either ricochet off or shatter on impact.
The second formation, also comprising one hundred and fifty dwarves, swiftly flanked the orc elites from the sides, launching a surprise attack.
These dwarves, coordinating seamlessly and possessing tremendous strength, wielded massive hammers and battle-axes.
Each of their blows sent an orc flying.
