Chapter 171: The Future of Orcs
Full of wine and food, the chiefs of many clans gathered in this tent in Izzy to roast the fire, which has almost become the practice of the annual Kshhag Festival, they drink a little bitter Chinese herbal tea, with a satisfied look, chatting about all kinds of anecdotes, the tent is warm and lively, the festive atmosphere makes people feel very comfortable.
To tell the truth, Izzy really didn't want to tell them the worst news at such a beautiful moment, but only at this time would the chiefs of the various clans put aside their grievances and burdens and gather together, so he had to say.
"Chiefs, I'm sorry I have bad news for you at times like this......"
Izzy said everything that should be said, and the chiefs of the various clans fell silent and did not say a word, they repeatedly watched the report compiled by Izzy, looking a little difficult to accept, Izzy knew that they needed time to digest this information, after all, the end of the world is by no means something that can be fully accepted in a short time.
"Is there a way to stop this from happening?" asked Durotan first.
Izzy immediately replied, "Unfortunately, even with the level of Draenei's knowledge, we have not found a way to stop the evil power or close the rift, and escaping our world may be the only way to survive now." β
Everyone fell silent again, and when Izy saw that the situation was really not optimistic, he hurriedly said:
"I mean, we haven't found a way yet, but it's a possibility, and in five or ten years, maybe the Draenei scholars will be able to find a good solution. β
"Chiefs, I know that we don't want to give up the world we've lived in for generations, and so do I, but sometimes we have to make difficult choices for the sake of our people, maybe in five to ten years, the Draenei can find a way out of our world, or maybe they can't, but if we build a portal, at least that will leave a way out for our race, that's the key. β
Izzy looked at the lost people, hoping to lift their spirits, after all, Izzy is still different from them, although he has lived in this world for twenty years, but in his memory he was born and raised in the place where he was born and raised on Earth, he can't fully appreciate the sadness of this kind of homeland that has survived for generations, and entered the countdown to destruction.
But Izzy's words still played a little role, hometown is important, but more important is people, the chiefs of the various clans still have a hope in their hearts, Draenor may be swallowed by evil energy, but one day, the rift will also be closed, as long as the people are still there, they will always come back one day.
Warsong Chief Grommash was the first to ask, "So what's going on with that new world you're talking about?"
Izzy thought for a moment and spoke, "It's a world called Azeroth, it's bigger and richer than ours, but there's also a world where there are all sorts of humanoid races and powerful beings who can be enemies or allies, because the Burning Legion threatens that world as well. β
Izzy looked at the expressions of the crowd, and it looked like he was eager to try, as if a sentence was written on his face.
"Is the race of that world easy to bully, are there any strong warriors?"
Izzy is a little helpless, this is the nature of the orcs, the glory is like life, and the tradition of respecting the strong is deeply engraved into their bones, Izzy said:
"With the strength of our race and the Draenei, it won't be difficult to build a portal, but the first batch of people to send it is very limited, so only the best orcs can pass through, and I must make this clear in advance. β
Izzy glanced around and said solemnly, "I don't want us orcs to become invaders like demons, but I will never let our people perish, so if I don't have a dispute with the natives of Azeroth, I won't look for this trouble." β
Gromash sneered and said sarcastically, "I really didn't expect you to be so naΓ―ve, Izzy, you have to understand that we are going to take possession of their land and resources, and no one will willingly hand them over unless they are all fools." β
Izzy's face did not change when he heard this, and he said: "Yes, Chief Warsong, I know this, I don't need you to remind me, but don't forget, there is a group of powerful enemies, they have destroyed our world, and we have only seen a part of this enemy so far, even their lackeys, have caused such a tragedy, if we don't make good use of all our strength, we will only end up with one end, that is, death!"
Gromash snorted and spoke, "Those are just alarmist words from the Draenei, demons also have flesh, and axes can split like that!"
"It's only the first time we've encountered demons, but according to the Draenei's literature, the physical death of demons is meaningless, and their souls have fled back to the Twisted Void, the next time you see a demon with the same face, can you talk about it as easily as you do now?"
Izzy didn't wait for Gromash to refute and continued: "Yes, you may say that this is also Draenei's alarmism, but as long as there is a one percent, one thousand, or even one in ten thousand chances, I will never let our orcs face such an enemy alone, as the chief of the tribe, I judge that the orcs need more allies to fight against a powerful enemy, if what Draenei said is true, and only in this way is the only possibility for our race to survive!"
Grommash suddenly fell silent, staring carefully into Izzy's eyes, Izzy also stared at Gromash without flinching, and Chief Warsong saw the determination in Izzy's eyes, lowered his head, and no longer objected.
Seeing this, Izzy said: "Of course, it is undeniable that there is still some truth in the words of Chief Warsong, we went to that world to seek a place to live, if the race over there is willing to help, we orcs will return more things, if they are unwilling, I will never let our genocide go, those who want to exterminate us are the enemies of our orcs, and I have never been merciful to the enemy, you know this." β
With Izzy's words, everyone nodded, if it was for the benefit of the orcs, no one here could compare to Izzy, which is why they elected Izzy as the chief.
"Okay, now that the information has been told to you, please don't spread this bad news yet, I don't want to cause panic among the orc civilians, after this Keshhag Festival, I am going to gather people to build a portal, all the clan workers, as well as the Draenei technicians, will assemble in the Tanaan jungle, we will re-establish the door of hope for our orcs on the ruins of that dark gate, I believe you will have no objections now, right?"
The chiefs got up and left, and they had to go back to digest the terrible news, but Durotan and Orgrim stayed, and when they were almost gone, they walked towards Izzy with worried expressions on their faces.
Durotan hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "You know, I have learned a lot about the Draenei after the alliance between the Draenei and our orcs, and I also know a little about this kind of portal. β
Durotan asked with a serious face: "Tell me, friend, who told you the information of that world, and who will be in that world to receive us into that world?"
Izzy sighed deeply and asked Garoka to join the little secret meeting before he spoke: "That's what I'm worried about, Durotan, it's a human mage from Azeroth who told me this, I know your concerns, you're afraid that someone will use us orcs as pawns, but that's the only way for us to survive." β
"What I'm going to say now, only a few of us can know, and this is also an insurance ...... I have set up for the future of the orcs."
After a few secret conversations, Durotan did not show any happiness on his face carrying his strengthened inheritance battle axe, he and Orgrim left with heavy faces, while Galoka looked at Izzy with tears in his eyes, Izzy smiled and patted Galoka on the shoulder, and walked out of the tent, blending into the festive atmosphere of Voshugu, dancing side by side with the orc warriors, as if nothing had happened.
