Chapter 11: Redemption I

The situation was decided, Claudia breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked up to Grom with the silver hand in her hand and began to purify him.

The white light flashed, and the red light in Grom's eyes had dissipated a lot, although it had not completely dissipated, but his sanity had obviously regained his clarity, and Claudia released a tranquilization spell on him with all her might, which made him completely calm, and several warriors still suppressed him vigilantly, and then Grom raised his head to look at Sal, and said with a remorseful expression on his face:

"Sal, I know I was wrong, I apologize to you."

"Let him go first." Thrall spoke, and several warriors then let go of Grom, and Grom then got up, he was wounded in many places in the battle just now, blood dripped down the wound, and Claudia flashed a holy light in his hand and was about to approach his wound to help him heal, but he was suddenly pushed away by Grom, and almost fell to the ground.

Several warriors were about to draw their weapons again, but they found that Grom did not have that crazy look on his face, but said coldly: "I don't want to accept the help of a human woman, what is the matter between you and humans." ”

"Enough! Grom. Sal was furious again.

"They saved you today, in our ancient tradition, how do you treat those who have helped you?"

Grom was silent, and then said angrily: "I just don't want to owe humanity a favor, we and humanity, the hatred has lasted for too long. ”

"Forget your hatred, Grom, in the long war with humanity, not only did we not gain anything, but we lost almost everything we originally had, so that peace can give us a future again."

"Those demons have come to destroy this world, and now the only way out is to cooperate with humans, do you want our new home to be destroyed as well?"

Grom didn't speak, just shook his head, as the patriarch, he naturally wanted to defend his people's homeland.

Itreg also walked up to him and said, "Grom, just as we did when the tribes put everything together and put aside everything, let go of the old hatreds and traditional prejudices. Humans are also a brave and powerful race, and you have to admit it. ”

Grom was silent for a moment, and Itriege's words reminded him of the scene when the tribes put aside their hatred and cooperated more than a decade ago.

And Grom also has a clear understanding of the power of human beings in the long-term battle with humans, although human warriors are generally weaker than the warriors of the Warsong Tribe, but the tenacity and fighting will of humans in defending their homeland is no worse than that of orcs, not to mention that humans also have the top warriors and other strong people.

He finally nodded and admitted, "Yes, you're right. ”

Seeing that his attitude had changed, Sal turned to Claudia not far away and apologized: "I apologize to you for him, he is a very traditional person, please continue to treat him." ”

"It's alright, Sal."

Claudia was also a little angry in her heart, she was pushed away by the person she had rescued for the first time, but she didn't care when she saw Sal apologize, and continued to walk to Grom's side with her anger, and made up her mind that if the orc attacked her again, she would turn around and flash.

Looking at the human girl with a gloomy face and wary of treating herself, although Grom was a little unaccustomed, he still accepted the girl's treatment, and most of the hatred in his heart disappeared.

After all, Grom didn't have a blood feud with humans like many orcs, he was just angry that the defeated orcs were imprisoned in human shelters, and he kept fighting humans for the survival of his people. And he, like other orc warriors of the older generation, had witnessed the cruelty of the last war, the destruction of the orc homeland, the death of a large number of ordinary orcs in the war either by humans or at the hands of their own clans, and there were few of the once huge clans left.

Regardless of the fact that Thrall was born after the war, Brooke, Wallock, Itreig and others have always reflected on the crimes they committed against unarmed civilians who abandoned ancient traditions, and Brooks was willing to remain an ordinary guard by Thrall's side.

Thrall watched Grom's expression change with satisfaction, the reason why he continued to let Claudia treat Grom was to take this opportunity to make Grom let go of his hatred and ease the relationship between humans, if Grom could let go of his ancient hatred with humans, then so could other orcs.

Thrall has never abandoned the name Sal given by humans, although this name means slave in the common language of mankind, but in addition to the shame, this name also brings Sal warmth, compared to the parents he has never met, the blonde woman who grew up with him and has always cared for him is more like his relatives, he always remembers the promise he made to that woman: never hurt the common people. After the woman's death, she made it her life's goal to hope that orcs and humans could live in peace.

After the treatment, Thrall communicated to Grom in detail about what had happened these days, and Claudia got up and walked away and rescued several other soldiers brought by Grom, and other guards brought by both sides also appeared from the woods, they were originally used as preparations for storming the stronghold, and later after successfully luring the enemy, because they were too far away from Grom in this level of battle, not only could they not play much role, but were prone to heavy casualties, so they did not appear.

After healing the last soldier, Claudia stood up, sweat from her hair mixed with blood, making her look a little embarrassed, Gianna went to her side, took out a white silk handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to the knight maiden, and looked at her with concern:

"Are you alright, how are you feeling?"

Claudia did not refuse Gianna's kindness, wiped her face a little with a handkerchief and put it away, planning to return it to Gianna after washing it when she had time, and thanked her: "Thank you, Your Highness, don't worry about me, I have already treated myself, but the loss of energy is a bit large, just rest after going back in a while." ”

When Gianna heard this, she immediately took out a bottle of mental recovery potion and handed it to Claudia: "I forgot to prepare it for you before, and I will ask the quartermaster to fill you with mental recovery potions in time in the future." ”

Claudia thanked her again and picked up a bottle and drank it, although the potion was of great value, she was still in the field at this time, and she needed to be in enough condition to prepare for battle, so she did not save it.

Then the knight girl remembered the figure of Gianna blocking in front of her to protect herself just now, and her heart warmed and said gratefully: "Just now, Your Highness, you saved me, and at that time there was pain in all parts of my body, and it was not necessarily his opponent." ”

Gianna laughed and said, "You are seven years younger than me, just an adult, I will definitely take care of you." ”

The knight maiden immediately felt a burst of warmth, and Gianna then joked, "What's more, I borrowed you from Varian, and I must return you to him properly, otherwise he won't let me go." ”

Claudia laughed too, Gianna's words reminded her of Stormwind, her family, friends, and King Varian from afar, and she didn't know how they were doing.

Suddenly, Claudia noticed the approach of the troll matriarch, and under the gaze of the knight maiden, Woking walked up to the two women and thanked Claudia: "Thank you for saving your life, woman, you will be a good friend of the Darkspear tribe from now on." ”

"You're welcome, it's my duty to protect my teammates." Claudia hurriedly replied.

Wojin then took out a short black dagger engraved with the troll's head and handed it to the knight girl: "This is my token, if you need help in the future, my people will know your identity when they see this dagger, and they will try their best to help you." ”

Soon after Claudia politely took the dagger, a vision suddenly appeared in the black sky, and green meteors fell in the distance, even if they were far away, everyone could feel the evil aura emitted by those meteors, and understood what those meteors were.

Then the vanguard of the Burning Legion, Hellfire, the Demon Legion is not far from everyone at this moment.

After communicating with Grom for a while, Sal gathered the crowd with a grim expression and said:

"The situation is urgent, the Warsong Tribe is still under the control of Manolos, and when they find out that the Patriarch is missing after dawn, they are likely to attack us, and it will be a huge loss for us whether we win or lose."

"According to Grom, Manolos is staying in a nearby canyon right now, and there aren't many demons around, so without further ado, I suggest we go and kill Manolos now."

Sal looked at Kane, Woking, Gianna, and Claudia and said, "Thank you for your help, allies, and I hope we can continue to act together if we can." ”

Kane and Wojin agreed without hesitation, they had been friends with Sal for a long time, and they would say yes whenever their allies spoke.

Claudia looked at Gianna, who hesitated for a moment and agreed, for her, she had already helped with this at the moment, and it was not the last step, and as mages and healers in the rear, the probability of them being injured was very low.

After determining the action, Grom walked ahead to lead the way, and the group followed Grom's action, and two hours later, the group was outside the canyon.

From afar, Claudia had sensed the powerful evil aura in the canyon, and as a paladin representing order and light, she was sensitive to demons.

The others had also noticed the abnormality here, in the forest, the closer to the canyon as the center, the less and less life breath became, and it was obvious that something was extracting the life energy from the vicinity. The water in the nearby waterhole was already abnormally green, glowing with evil energy, and many small animals had died on the edge of the canyon.
