Old Shatter Bone's War Gang had retreated—druids confirmed that at least ten War Gangs had retreated from the line of Zaporozhye-Vasylivka-Melitopol.
Durin did not hesitate—since Old Shatter Bone had shown his hand, Durin felt obliged to reciprocate.
Leading his own warband, Durin took the initiative to strike out, catching the Green-skinned Orcs completely off guard. They had never imagined that the humans would dare to leave the city and engage in field combat, and they were taken by surprise by Durin's warband.
Compared with Durin's warband, these War Gangs of Green-skinned Orcs were outclassed in both number and elite troops—subpar equipment made them easy targets, and amongst the powerful, they were being beaten at every turn.
Thus, the seven remaining War States quickly crumbled, and their commanders—one of whom was a Warlord—lost their heads to Durin.
Durin's side would hand the heads over to the black market.
