22. The beginning of the Ogre Kingdom of Ogrela
Where there is oppression, there is resistance, this is a principle that is true in any world, especially for races that have mastered wisdom and strength, and unreasonable oppression will always lead to the birth of the fire of resistance.
This is true even for stupid ogres.
According to the incomplete statistics of Ulduar's agents, there are at least nearly 15 ogres living in the entire Blade Mountain, divided into more than a dozen small clans and three large clans.
The Bloodhammer and Dota ogre clans live in Dota Canyon and are barbarian ogres who wholeheartedly revere the rule of Goron, and by the standards of the civilized world, they are uncivilized barbarians, so after the Sons of Grull were wiped out and Grull was lured out of Grull's lair, the elite of the Seven Warbands, the druids from the Cenarion Council, and the forces held by Ulduar's agents were all dispatched.
According to Dick's order, sweeping the entire Dota Canyon, this mission also borrowed a part of the Night's Watch army stationed on the Hellfire Peninsula, led by the mysterious death lord Mishirsa, and good players from all over the world to help them, demanding that all the forces in Dota Canyon be destroyed within 3 days.
This is not a difficult task, especially for the executioners of the warband, who have made killing a daily routine, and after using tyranny as a means of making a living, killing is never a difficult thing to do.
But in addition to these two large, uncivilized ogre tribes, there is one other clan that is quite peculiar.
They are Ogrela, the "Promised Land" in ogre language, and according to the reports of the first spies who came into contact with these ogres, these ogres are clearly civilized, at least to their savage compatriots, these ogres can be called "polite".
Dick sat in the characteristic camp of the Ogrella ogres, a large room like a pavilion, and the ogres were very kind to serve them pressed cactus "juice", and frankly, it was a very interesting thing for anyone who came from Azeroth to watch those five big and three thick ogres greet them in an unusually civilized manner, under their special etiquette.
Of course, in addition to observing the social form of these legendary ogre "wise men", Dick was also observing the special environment of this mountain that hung high above Blade Mountain, and from time to time he reached out and shot out a golden light, flashed into the air and disappeared.
The mountains here are covered with a crystal clear, like a sword inserted in the mountains, but the properties of these crystals are very strange, every minute and every second of sitting here, Dick can feel a special energy fluctuation coming from those crystals, and quietly trying to enter their bodies.
The Paladin didn't come alone, a tall, silent orc man sat beside him, wearing a black bat-like helmet, two sharp one-handed axes at his waist, and a crimson wolf-headed spear on his back.
A blue porcupine covered with spikes lay meekly at his feet, with a comfortable snort from time to time, a huge earthy brown bear lay outside the camp, the ogres brought it some honey and fresh meat, the cute bear was feasting, and above the sky of Ogrera, an eagle with a slight thunder on its body was soaring.
Lexa, this guy is an uninvited companion, of course Dick knows why this guy came, Lexa is a hybrid of ogres and orcs, in the world of Azeroth, his clan has died, but in the world of Draenor, in Blade Mountain, there is still an orc clan on the verge of extinction, Moknassa, this is Lexa's mother's clan.
These orcs did not welcome the arrival of Lexa, but the hunter wanted to integrate into the family, he noticed that these orcs were threatened by ogres, and in the face of the strong blood mallet ogres, the sparsely populated Moknassar orcs were brave but did not have the upper hand, so Lexa definitely helped his own people solve this problem, and with this great achievement, it was no longer difficult to reintegrate into the mother family.
"Your guests have come from afar, but we don't have a worthy enjoyment here, which really makes the whole Ograyla lose face, please forgive me!"
A "skinny" ogre elder sat across from Dick and Lexa, and said to them with great regret, "It's a shame for all of Orgrera." ”
"Don't be out of the way, Elder Mogodog. ”
Dick reached out and picked up the cactus juice in front of him, and brought it to his mouth, the green liquid into his mouth, there was no strange taste as expected, on the contrary, there was a hint of sweetness that went straight to the stomach, this drink was obviously not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
"I'm not just a guest. ”
The paladin looked at the ogre elder in front of him, who was only about 2 meters tall, wearing a special robe made of unknown leather, and holding a staff inlaid with Episis crystals in his hand, and said softly,
"Ever since I arrived in Draenor, I've been hearing about the Ogre's 'Promised Land', the dream of almost all ogres in all of Draenor, and today, after meeting your social system that already has the rudiments of a magical civilization, my interest in Orgrimmar grows day by day. ”
Speaking of this, Dick paused, the ogre elder on the opposite side is the leader of the civilized ogre of the entire Ogrela, and purely from the perspective of energy fluctuations, the obscure magic fluctuations in the body of this emaciated ogre are almost the same as the current archmages of Azeroth, and there are at least 7 ogres like him.
In other words, just such an ogre tribe with less than 500 people, its high-end strength at the magic level is not much different from Dalaran, no wonder Ogrera can use this few hundred people to become a faint "promised land" in the hearts of the ogres of Blade Mountain and even the entire Draenor world.
They have the strength!
"Actually, we are also curious, what do you get by coming to Ogrera, and what we have, we can give it to you with both hands as a symbol of friendship between the two sides. ”
Mogoddog, the ogre who sat across from Dick, replied with a smile, though that smile was enough to frighten any mortal.
Mogodog knew the weight of the guest in front of him, the mysterious Episis Crystal is a treasure left by the great Raven Empire civilization of Draenor in the last era, and their existence has made the originally rude ogres evolve rapidly, especially in terms of intelligence, ordinary ogres here are similar to the wise men of the human world.
Although the Illidaret envoy who arrived a few days ago did not explain the identity of the "distinguished guest", the comment that "on par with Lord Illidan" was enough to make the Ogrela's ogre elder group led by Mogodorg report 20 points of respect and vigilance to Dick.
They knew very well that the reason why the King of the Outlands, who had already bagged the entire Draenor Shattered World, let go of Blade Mountain was definitely not only out of fear of the ogre king Gruel, but also because of the unremarkable human in front of him.
Dick was pleased to see Mogodog's humble attitude, the Episis Crystal brought unimaginable benefits to these ogres, it transformed the ogre's body day after day, stuffed the spark called wisdom into their originally stupid brains, gave them a powerful talent for manipulating magic, and even those crystals that voluntarily fell off can be used to craft magical items and even weapons.
It can be said that the "Promised Land" Ogrela, which all ogres dream, is actually a civilization built on the crystal of Episis, and these civilizations are surprising to the point of ogres, except for their physical brutal appearance, they are actually not much different from humans.
This would be a very good partner, Dick thought, and then said in a deep voice,
"I hope Orgrimmar can establish a true order in the chaotic ogre community, you know, when Draenor was not destroyed, the Ogre Empire of the Hanging Fort was the most powerful force in the entire Draenor world, and I will fully support Ogrilla to rebuild the Ogre Empire, using Blade's Edge Mountain as the base territory of the Empire. ”
Dick paused, he spread his arms,
"My army is sweeping through the other ogre forces across Bladeblade Mountain, and when the dust settles, I will hand over all my captives to you as the first people of the Ogrella Ogre Kingdom. ”
"Oh... Great imagination, this is also Ogrera's long-cherished wish!"
As a very intelligent creature, Mogordoge is definitely very welcome to the expansion of the population, hearing Dick's description, this slightly gloomy ogre elder's bright eyes also flashed a glimmer of ambition, you know, from the day Ogrera was born, they were extremely disgusted with Goron's brutal rule, and they played the sign of "Promised Land" to fight against this rough enslavement of their compatriots, and more importantly, they had enough strength to deal with those sons of Grull.
If it weren't for the Black Dragon of Deathwing to stir up the situation, the rebellion launched by Ogrera is estimated to have started long ago, and the war between the Black Dragon and Goron was naturally secretly supported by Ogrera, and Agent Ulduar and Baron Sabermaine both mentioned one point, that is, when the Black Dragons who suffered heavy casualties chose to hide, they were secretly helped by Ogrella.
Obviously, these clever ogres are fighting the idea of "praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind", and according to the latest news from Senxia, not only the blood mallet and the dota, but even those small clans that can't be strung up, there are Ogrella's powers.
These intelligently armed ogres were clearly ready to launch a rebellion that would spread across Blade's Edge Mountain.
However, they obviously have their own worries, such as now, in the face of the bait thrown by Dick, Mogodog hesitated for a moment, and whispered,
"The other sons of Grull are not worth mentioning, but Gruul... We are not sure of the victory of this beast that can control the earth. ”
Dick smiled casually, "Gruul, I'll take care of it, even the old black dragon hidden in your area, I can help you do it!"
Mogodog's eyes widened, he was silent for a moment, and put the staff in his hand aside,
"And what is the price?
This question made Dick and Lexa both nod, and being able to ask this question proved that the ogre elder in front of him really deserved the title of "wise man", at least he knew that there was no free lunch in this world.
Faced with this problem, of course, Dick had already prepared a good draft,
"Illidan's war in the Outlands cannot be concealed from you, and the chaos of the world of Draenor will end in the next 1 or 2 years, and from then on, this will exist as the source of a protracted war, and since there is a war, it will inevitably require soldiers. ”
"So after the kingdom of Ogrera has collected all the ogres in the whole of Draenor, in every war, I would like to see enough, elite, obedient ogre warriors join it!"
Mogodog nodded,
"This request is very reasonable, as long as Ogrera can really complete the unification of the Draenor ogre, as long as the guests need it, we will send no less than 5,000 ogre warriors to fight in every war!"
Dick stretched out a finger and shook it,
“1!”
Mogodogh almost didn't hesitate, and immediately nodded in agreement, not that he didn't take the ogre's life seriously, but the speed of the ogre race itself is very fast, and the population can almost double in 10 years, and the Hanging Fort Ogre Empire at that time had to wage war almost every year, in addition to showing off its strength, a large amount of consumption of the rapidly growing population is also one of the important reasons.
Blade Mountain's resources are scarce and its output is limited, and it is impossible to supply so many ogres to live.
"Good... Second, I need to recruit a group of cannibals to go to Voidstorm as workers for a secret job. ”
Dick's gaze swept around Ogrera's camp and his voice deepened, "Must be selected from the Ogrilla clan, I need 170 skilled spellcasters!
"This..."
Compared to the first request, this request was a bit nerve-wracking, there were less than 500 people in the whole of Ogrera, including only 300 mages, and half of it was taken out at once, but when Mogordogr thought of what Dick had promised, he gritted his teeth.
"Yes, but I want to see Gruul's funeral first!"
"Deal!"
