Description

Uther Lightbringer and Arthas Menethil move against the Blackrock clan of orcs, who have recently captured citizens from Strahnbrad. Though they quickly build a base and recruit riflemen from smith and enchanter Feranor Steeltoe, Uther and Arthas arrive too late to save the villagers who were just sacrificed to the Burning Legion by orcs who have re-embraced their demon worshiping.

Arthas leads an assault against the Blackrock encampment, slaying every orc there. His vengeful fury foreshadows his coming descent into madness. After destroying the encampment, he defeated Blademaster.

Tactics

First you must build a barracks and two farms, create 6 footmen, and Uther will be defending the base from orc grunts and troll headhunters (it is recommended that you upgrade the towers to help). When you complete this, go to the east road from the base and you will find a blacksmith, Feanor Steeljoe and 4 riflemen. Feanor will give you the access to the riflemen training in the barracks and the 4 riflemen. You will have more damage from them if you give them a heart of a black drake in the closer cave; to obtain it go there and kill the black drake boss (which is guarded by baby black drakes and skeleton warriors). Now you must begin attacking Blackrock Camp and its leader, Blademaster. When you kill him you finished the battle.
