"Dear Gianna. Lady Prodmore, three months have passed since the Angela Zerg War, and with the combined efforts of the Horde and the Alliance, the Karimdor coalition has defeated the Zerg and killed the evil ancient god Cthun. I deeply regret the death of your father, who was an excellent Alliance Commander. And I also believe that you will also be a good leader, a qualified and good leader, a leader who believes in peace. As a sign of friendship between our two countries, I hereby solemnly invite you to visit Orgrimmar, where I and the chiefs are waiting for you. ”

Three months after the end of the Angela Zerg War, and a month after the cremation of Darin's body, Saar sent an emissary to send a letter of friendly exchange. Since the Horde had also suffered heavy losses in the war, and they were leading the way, and no fewer soldiers were killed or wounded than the Confederate side, Thrall decided to continue this state of peace between the two sides. The messenger sent this time was obviously much friendlier and kinder than the one last time, and delivered the letter from the Great Chief to Gianna himself.

However, after sending off the envoy, there was also a debate about how to deal with the invitation.

Many Alliance officers felt that the orcs would not be so friendly, and uniting the Alliance to fight the Zerg together was already the limit of what this group of beasts could do.

"This is not a friendly visit, Thrall and his group of orcs may have been in the city ready for an ambush, Chief, if you go by yourself, you will inevitably fall into their ambush. Once the alliance does not have you, the orcs will definitely attack Alpine City in a big way, which is the ultimate purpose of their invitation. ”

Gianna's lieutenant, Blanche, expressed his opinion and opinion after the Horde emissary left. Although they had only fought alongside the Horde three months earlier, many of the Alliance's officers and soldiers still disliked the orcs from the bottom of their hearts. Peace between two different ethnic groups is often fragile. Especially after there is no common enemy.

"You have a point, but if you don't go, it's not enough to express our friendliness and kindness, my father has just died in battle, there are many things that need to be taken care of, the lack of support from the nobles of Kul Tiras, all kinds of factors...... In fact, we have a lot more trouble than the tribes. At this time, if the peace agreement breaks down, there will be another war of tribal alliances, which will be a fatal blow to us. ”

After Blanche finished speaking, Gianna retorted with a melancholy voice. Ares knew that in Gianna's heart, she had actually made a decision as early as the moment she received the letter. This invitation, she must go......

"But orcs can't be trusted......"

Blanche still expressed his concerns.

"Don't worry, my trust, I'll come back safe and sound. In case of danger, I'll take care of everything and teleport back intact. Also, Ares and Egwene will be accompanying me. With Ares here, I'm sure the tribe wouldn't dare what about us. As far as I know, orcs are also an honor-worthy race, even if they are usually bloodthirsty. ”

Gianna continued, winking at Ares. What can Ares say...... His own woman bravely entered the tiger's den, as a man, how can there be a reason not to accompany him......

……

In two weeks aboard the Breaking Waves, Ares and Gianna arrived at Bladefist Bay outside Orgrimmar, a red land and the second time Ares came to Orgrimmar, the main city of the Horde. The last time I arrived here, it was to reach a cooperation agreement with the tribe and fight against the Angela Zerg together. At that time, I was an enemy of the tribe, and I could even say that I was a mortal enemy. And now, he has become the most honored guest of the tribe. The killing of the Twin Emperors, the ancient god of the blade, and the fame of the battle, raised the orcs' understanding of this human paladin to another level. That's a symbol of glory.

Above Orgrimmar's walls, the orc guards paid their respects with weapons in one hand and beat their chests in the other. Tens of thousands of orcs collectively made this action above the city tower, and the movements were neat and consistent, and the powerful rhythm couldn't help but make people's blood boil again.

"Blood and glory."

The path into the Chieftain's Hall was now the Road of Glory, and at the end of the road, Thrall was already sitting in the hall, waiting for a long time.

For a moment, Ares and Gianna were reminded of a city at about the same time—Lordaeron.

It was probably the same scene when Arthas, Prince of Lordaeron, returned from Northrend, where the crowd reciprocated with adoration and admiration, and the cries resounded in every corner of the city, and red petals sprinkled from above the towers, like a feast of flowers. The hymn of holiness resounded in the king's hall. At this moment, the scene of Orgrimmar made the two of them feel a little stunned.

Holding Gianna's hand, Ares strode into Thrall's Hall of Chiefs.

As expected, there were no other guards, just a few familiar faces and a full feast.

Obviously, this is the beginning of a real feast, an expression of peace and sincerity. Despite Thrall's next plans, Ares and Gianna don't know what to expect. But the sincerity in front of me is real.

"We must be honest with each other, friend, I have seen countless humans, but you are the bravest and most sane humans I have ever met."

As soon as they met, Sal got straight to the point and talked about his opinion. Maybe he was ready for these words, or maybe he just played on the spot and sighed. But no matter what, it was not easy for the tribes and alliances to get to where they are today. Although peace is still fragile and is based on the fact that neither side is able to crush the other, however, no matter what, Alpine City and Orgrimmar did usher in a brief peace.

Ares understood what Thrall's words were expressing. As an orc child who grew up in a human castle, he was used as a tool, learned human language, learned human thoughts, and learned everything in human society, so he saw the essence of human beings - pride, greed, and evil...... But there is also a kind and brave side. In fact, as the Great Chief of the Orcs, Thrall knows more about humans and this so-called alliance than his companions. Humans are not terrible, but it is impossible to completely eliminate them. Because in order to defend their homeland, human beings are often the most terrible in the case of not wanting to die. With the current strength of the orcs, it is impossible to completely wipe out the human race.

"Thank you for your reputation, Great Chief, and over the past few months I have also seen the spirit of the orcs, the faith of fighting for glory and freedom."

And so began the polite conversation.
