TheWoWDBThere's a known bug concerning one of the worms not spawning. You can work around it by standing on top of the worm's spawn site and waiting for it to appear.

Looks like this is 4 months hold as of typing? That's just disappointing.

In what way are we in command of the forces? I didn't know until I watched a video that showed a special action button that did not appear when I stayed far back, like a good caster should. You need to get close enough for the Summon button to show.
Several years later and the Naxa bug is still present.
Standing on spawn point thankfully works.

Description
Snowmane Village behind us was caught completely off guard by the scale of this attack. I will hold the drogbar line here so the civilians have time to prepare their evacuation. The drogbar are using worms to burrow their way to the surface and deploy their troops. I am giving you command of our forces. Use them to slay these worms and cut off enemy reinforcements.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Battle of Snowblind Mesa
Your timing is fortunate. Our forces at Snowblind Mesa report seeing the Underking above ground. What is more, he is lightly guarded, and has the hammer with him. Thanks to your efforts, we can meet them in battle. Meet us at Snowblind Mesa and let us take the fight to Dargrul together.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Siegebrul
Worms do not like battle or the surface. They only go where their master tells them. So, when in war, kill the master. Siegebrul Olgrul is the master of worms for the Mightstone drogbar who attack us from the north. Slay him.
