This is the Reforged version of what would be the campaign mode of Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos.

Chapter Five of the Invasion of Kalimdor Campaign.

The interlude shows the Pitlord Mannoroth and Tichondrius the Dreadlord commander of the Scourge appearing in Ashenvale Forest. A pack of Furbolgs are gathered nearby but disperse quickly when Mannoroth savagely cuts one of them down.

Mannoroth reminisces about the past and how even after 10,000 years he has not forgotten the battles fought here. Tichondrius informs Mannoroth that Archimonde wishes for the powerful night elven demigod Cenarius be dealt with before the Burning Legion begins the final phase of their invasion. Though Mannoroth is eager to face his ancient nemesis, he realizes it would be difficult as Cenarius rarely showed himself.

Tichondrius suggests that Mannoroth use the Orcs, who were bound to serve Mannoroth by a blood pact, to deal with Cenarius instead. Grom's destruction of the forest had summoned the fury of Cenarius and removed any need to seek out the cunning demigod. Though the plan seemed quite convenient and Mannoroth is not the brightest of demons, he knew the orcs were not powerful enough to take on a demigod he himself considered formidable in battle. But Tichondrius reminds Mannoroth of the blood pact he made, and that he simply needed to spill some of his blood into a fountain and wait for the orcs, who would be lured to it by its corrupting energies, to drink from it to renew the pact that would grant them the powerful energies of Mannoroth himself, making them more than a match for the demigod.

Some time later the story shifts to Grom Hellscream who has established new bases with the lumber he had collected in the previous battle. But the desecration of Ashenvale's forest has caught the attention of the night elves demigod Cenarius. Seeking to punish the Orcs for the destruction of the forest, Cenarius uses his powers to regrow the forest and moves his forces to slay any of the Horde that occupied it.

Pressed against a seemingly impossible opponent, Grom retreats his forces across the river holds one last stronghold against a wave of night elven forces. Cenarius chose to sit back and let his forces handle the last base.

After fending off the first wave of attacks by the night elven defenders, troll witchdoctors speak to Grom about a strange source of energy emanating elsewhere in the woods nearby, though they know not what it could be. Desperate for a solution to his problems, Grom follows the lead and discovers a fountain that had been tainted by the Pitlord Mannoroth's blood. Recalling the contract that bound the Orcs to the Demons in exchange for power, Grom drank from the pool without any hesitation, and bid his troops follow suit. Grom had no reason to believe demons would be around and that drinking the from the blood-tainted fountain would come with a price to be paid.

Now strengthened by the blood pact, the Fel Orcs under Grom launched their counterattack against Cenarius and handily slew the demigod. However, their victory was shortlived as Mannoroth soon appeared to claim his control over the Fel Orcs after they foolishly renewed the blood pact that bound them to his command.

The game is far from fixed both in being playable and its reputation, but I'd like to share how the state of things are in late 2022.
