Horde turn back Undercity assaults and press Hillsbrad while Alliance take Crossroads

Good evening, Azeroth, or good morning, I'm told. I'm Ron Burgundoom, and my moustache has asked to be addressed as Sir. I stand in Undercity, where the Horde turned back the Alliance in the Undercity Repulse, and again in the Undercity Stand, and again in the Defense of Undercity. Three defenses. The capital did not fall. I am moved. Mhureth Theolia led the Horde's killers, and Beef Frosty kept them standing.

The front moved through Hillsbrad Foothills like a mighty tide, or a... a warm casserole. In the Darrow Hill Onslaught, the Horde pushed toward Southshore. In the Southshore Stranglehold, they held it at the enemy's doorstep. Revenant led the guilds. I had tuna for lunch. It was a peach.

The Alliance had its say. In the Siege of Crossroads, they won decisively in the Barrens, and Mikey Lebowski led their killers, with Panda Moniumm healing. They also took the skirmish at the Dagger Hills in Westfall. THE HORDE LED. The Horde won the narrow skirmish at Webwinder Path and holds more fronts. The Alliance holds Westfall.

Stay classy, Azeroth.
