Caddgar mage shook his head—the old orc was talking about rather obscure orc words, and though Khadgar could make out the pronunciation of Drektar, it was hard to discern the meaning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Mograini had no choice but to raise his vigilance and move his feet to block Artace.

However, Drektar didn't have any intention of attacking, and after a while, he opened his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said, "If you want to communicate with elemental spirits, you must be a person who purely believes in elemental spirits. You humans seem to have other beliefs, and it is difficult for you humans to learn the way of shamanism. ”

Arthas understood what Drektar meant—that not everyone among humans could become a priest or paladin, but the vast majority of humans believed in the Light. If you want to relearn the art of shamanism, you can't do it unless you have serious doubts about the existence of the Light, or a newborn baby, the former is hard to find and difficult to control even if you do, and the latter is too slow to immediately jump into the fight against the orc invaders.

Drektar really wanted humans to learn the way of shamanism, because then he could use it as a condition in exchange for the peace of his people. However, the result of communicating with the elemental spirits disappointed the old orc, and he hung his head in despair, waiting for the moment of the end of the clan - if it were not for the immobility, the old orc would have even killed himself on the snow dune right now - after Durontan's disappearance, Drektar had been the chief for four years, and now, he could not save his clan from extinction; Drektar's powerlessness and guilt were hard to put into words—if Durotan was still around, he would have a way.

Just when everyone thought that this battle, or rather massacre, was inevitable, Arthas actually spoke again: "Chief, are you still a devout believer in elemental spirits?" Drektar nodded in confusion as he didn't understand what Arthas meant.

Arthas asked, "Do you believe that elemental spirits can save your people?" Drektar thought Arthas was mocking the shaman's beliefs, and remained silent. Arthas's next words stunned the old orc: "I can give you a chance to use the elemental spirits to save your people." ”

Drektar hurriedly asked, "What chance?" Arthas said, "You know, I don't want to slaughter your clan. So, despite the fact that you rejected all our conditions and even held me hostage, I decided to give you a chance. However, it is up to you whether you can save your people. ”

Arthas paused, pointed at Mograine, and said to Drektar, "As far as I know, the toxin of the Pterodactyl Spike is not permanent. We'll imprison your people first, and once you've recovered, you'll have to fight the paladin in a duel. If you win, I'll release you, and as long as you don't pose a threat to humanity, humans won't attack you, and if you lose......" Arthas didn't continue, believing the old orc understood what he meant.

On the snow dunes, Tirio Fording listened to Arthas's words and felt very strange in his heart - even he had always insisted on negotiating with the orcs and gave up the possibility of living in peace with the orcs, why did the prince of Arthas still insist on it? Khadgar mage was also a little puzzled, but he attributed Arthas's actions to the demon's demagoguery - maybe that Sartre had some conspiracy, and these orcs must be able to achieve it - Khadgar mage secretly resolved that when the matter here was over, he must report the anomaly on Arthas to King Terenus.

Drektar twisted his neck slightly, looked at Mograine, who was still blocking half of Arthas's body, nodded heavily and said, "I see." Human Prince, no matter how I win or lose this duel, as long as the Frostwolf Clan survives, I will not forget your kindness. But I don't need to imprison my people, I can start a duel now. ”

Now?—everyone on the snow dunes, including Arthas, was a little surprised—the poison on Drektar's body had not yet been dissolved, so could he keep this stiff posture and duel Mograini? Mograini even felt insulted. Drektar then said, "I need the clansman who came with me to help me get some things from the camp." ”

Arthas nodded, motioning for Mograine to let the Cracktooth come up. Mograine waved his hand to the paladins under the snow mound, and the two paladins put away their two-handed greatswords, dragged Split Fang up from the ground, and hurried them to the snow mound. As soon as Splittooth climbed the snow hill, he saw Drektar frozen to the ground like a stone sculpture, though he did not understand what was happening, and knew that the old chief was in a bad situation.

Splittooth didn't know where a force came from his body, but he broke free from the hands of the two paladins, rushed to Drektar, knelt in front of Drektar, and said angrily, "Chief, how did you become like this, what did they do to you?" (orc)

Instead of answering Splittooth's question, Drektar ordered, "Splittooth, go back to my lodgings and bring me the package I hung on the wall." Splittooth hesitated and said, "But, Patriarch, you ......" Drektar interrupted Splittooth's words and said sternly: "Go! This is a matter of life and death for our clansmen, don't waste any more time!" Splittooth had no choice but to stand up and run down the snow hill.

Madgar mage didn't translate the conversation between Drektar and Splitfang, and the two paladins who were escorting Splittooth escaped from Splitfang's men, losing face and trying to get in Splitfang's way. However, Mograine knew that Splittooth was supposed to fetch what the old orc needed, so he stopped the two paladins and let Splittooth go back. Mograine stared at Drektar and thought to himself - I hope the old orc wasn't lying, and that he really had some way to transform himself back from the stone carving. Otherwise, a duel with such an enemy would be an insult to Mograine's honor.

Uther watched Cracktooth descend the snow hill, approached Arthas and said, "Arthas, I don't understand, these actions of yours ...... What's the point?" Arthas said with a smile, "Nothing, Mr. Uther. You were just a kid's amusement trick at the time!, however, take advantage of this opportunity to see how powerful the strongest of the orcs really is. ”

Uther did not take Arthas's words seriously, and felt in his heart that a military operation like this should not be decided by the willfulness of a child. However, Uther knew that although he was the head of the Knights of the Silver Hand, he was still far inferior to Arthas when it came to controlling these paladins who were most of the original royal guards of Lordaeron. Since it was not a matter of principle, Uther did not want to clash with Arthas, so he waited and saw what happened.
