Chapter 4: Controversy
When Medivan disappeared, the voice of the Silver Hand sounded directly in Claudia's head: "It's the first time I've seen such a powerful mortal in so many years. ”
Claudia wondered, "Which is stronger than him, the Titan Guardians?" ”
After thinking for a while, the Silver Hand said: "The power in his body is very strong, in terms of energy alone, even Solim and Hodir are not necessarily his opponents, but his body is still mortal after all, even if he has the most majestic power in his body, if his body is weak, he may be easily killed, so it is difficult to judge the strength or weakness." ”
"Hmm." Claudia then asked the Silver Hand, "Do you think Medivan is on the right path?" ”
"According to my judgment, the purpose of these demons should be to pollute the souls of this world and completely distort this world. The grievances of mortals are nothing compared to the survival of the world, and all living beings have no choice but to fight to the end. The Silver Hand said with certainty.
"I see." Claudia replied.
"Now it seems that Odin and I were wrong." The Silver Hand sighed under his breath.
"What?" The girl wondered.
"If we can win this battle, I will have a new task for you, but don't think about it for now."
"Familiarize yourself with the skill that comes with the Silver Hand of Tyr's 'Deliverance', this skill will be crucial for the next battle with the Great Legion of Demons." The Silver Hand admonished.
"Thank you, I'll practice more." Claudia agreed, and the Silver Hand fell silent again.
The Alliance and the Horde were making their way out of the cave, and although the covenant had just been concluded, the personnel of both sides were still cautiously watching each other's every move, and the camps of both sides were kept at a sufficient distance from each other in the choice of locations for camping outside the cave.
After camping, the investigation team of the alliance side found that the number of tribes was far more than that of the alliance, the orcs were originally semi-nomads, and they were also assisted by the local minotaurs, so the pressure on their supply was much lighter than that of the alliance side, and the number was much higher, reaching two or three thousand people.
In the magic tent in the center of the alliance camp, Gianna had already held a high-level meeting of the expedition at this time, and Claudia was also sitting next to Gianna as the person with the highest Holy Light cultivation in the army.
After everyone arrived, Gianna said with mixed emotions: "Before I came here, I never thought that the answer I got would be an alliance with the tribe. ”
A high-ranking warrior, Halver Wimbane, spoke, "I don't mean to question your decision, Your Highness, but His Majesty Daelin will probably not approve of this covenant. ”
Gianna grabbed her hair in some distress when she heard her father's name, of course she knew how much her father hated the orcs, she frowned and replied, "Try not to let my father know about this first, and then I will explain it to him after defeating the Burning Legion." ”
Gianna's warrior captain, Gaylan Vimis, also said disapprovingly: "Your Highness, not only is it a matter of His Majesty Dalin, but many of our soldiers have died at the hands of orcs, and it will be difficult for the soldiers to restrain themselves if they encounter them. ”
The speeches of the two members made Gianna understand that many people did not agree with her decision when she was in the cave, and she was silent for a long time before looking around and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, I have no less hatred with the orcs than any of you, even my own brother died at the hands of the orcs. ”
Most of the members nodded their heads when they heard Gianna talk about it, of course they all knew about it: fourteen years ago, on the island of Mountain Fall, the navy of the Alliance and the Horde broke out in Armageddon. Although the Union Navy was victorious, Gianna's father lost his own son, and Gianna also lost her brother.
"But I still decided to make an alliance with the orcs, not because I forgot my dead brother, but because our living relatives and friends are more worthy of our cherishing than our dead relatives."
"As Medivan said, if this world is destroyed, everything we love will be lost, and that's why I want to let go of my hatred for a while."
There was silence in the tent for a while, and some people were thoughtful, Gianna's assistant, Archmage Tvorsh raised up, glanced at the other mage, and spoke:
"Master Gianna, could this be another plot by Medivan, he has betrayed us, and his relationship with the orcs has always been so unclear that it is difficult for us to trust him."
Gianna shook her head sadly, "He has covered his body with magic, and he has warned us many times, neither King Terenus, nor Arthas, nor my mentor, Master Antonidas, have disagreed with his words, and now we know their fate. ”
Many people's expressions darkened, in just three months, the most powerful kingdoms of the Eastern Continent have fallen one after another, which has caused a huge impact on the hearts of these people, and the reason why they are willing to follow an unknown dream of Gianna to find the prophet is because they have no choice?
"Now, Medivan is our only hope, and since we have all believed that he has come here, we might as well continue to believe in him, who can allow us to save this world!"
Tvosh had been listening quietly to Gianna's words and thinking, he had been thinking about the current situation for many days, but he had not yet found a way to resist the demon, and he finally sighed and agreed:
"You're right, no matter what, Medivan is already the most powerful human we've ever seen, and if anyone has a way to fight demons at the moment, it's probably him."
There was silence again, and Gianna looked around at the crowd in front of her, her gaze swept over Claudia, the knight maiden looked at her with encouragement and support, and she looked at the others, though reluctantly, most of them had accepted her words.
"Archmage." Another voice spoke, it was Gianna's enchantment, Lisa Speverik.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Lisa asked the doubts in her heart: "Even if we are willing to put aside our hatred and cooperate with the tribe, how do we know if they are sincere in cooperating with us?" ”
Just as Gianna was about to answer, a scout stepped into the tent: "Your Highness, there is a tribal soldier who insists on coming to you with a weapon, and he claims to have come on the orders of the tribal leader. ”
Gianna immediately summoned the orc soldier, this is a very ordinary orc soldier, wearing rudimentary leather armor, carrying a huge battle axe on his back, blood-red tattoos can be seen on his exposed skin, and he has a faint spell effect on his body, and the mages immediately recognize the effect of this spell, which allows the recipient to have the ability to communicate with most races in a day.
Although it had been decided to cooperate with the tribe, most of them were still staring at this orc with unkind eyes, his movements were rude and rude, and the princess of Kul Tiras in front of him was still the same, but the orc did not care about the surrounding eyes, strode forward and spoke:
"I'm Mogolin, and I'm here to convey the wishes of Chief Thrall to your leader to go and discuss military affairs with our chief."
Gianna spoke: "I already know your intentions, please go out and wait for a while, and we will give you an answer after we have finished discussing." ”
The orc warrior looked at Gianna, although he already knew in the cave that this woman was the leader of this group, but it was still a little strange in the eyes of the orcs, most of the women in their clan were of low status, although there were a small number of female warriors, but few could become leaders, let alone leaders.
The orc warrior obediently bowed his head and walked out, his chief had repeatedly told him not to disgrace the face of the tribe before he came, but also not to take the initiative to cause trouble.
After the orc warrior walked out, Gianna spoke to the others, "It seems that we will soon know the sincerity of the tribe, and I have decided to go to the tribe myself." ”
"Claudia, it's up to you to accompany the two of us on a trip." Gianna turned her gaze to the knight maiden and spoke.
Why me?
Claudia was a little surprised, but she immediately agreed without hesitation: "Obey, Your Highness, I will protect you." ”
The high-ranking warrior Halver hurriedly objected: "Your Highness, there are too few people, so I'll take a few brothers to accompany you." ”
The others objected, arguing that the number of people in the group was too small to guarantee Gianna's safety, and that the Knight Maiden, although she had proven herself to be a powerful paladin, was more likely to show off her healing abilities and magical talents, and they were suspicious of the girl's abilities in other areas.
Gianna retorted, "Even if we all go, the tribe will still have an absolute advantage in numbers, and it will only be the tribe to despise our courage." ”
"And don't underestimate Claudia, as far as I know, her combat power is no worse than other heroes, and in terms of her age, it will be a great advantage for us in the meeting."
Many people immediately turned their heads to look at Claudia, and it was hard for them to imagine that this beautiful girl, who was many years younger than Gianna, would be able to fight against a hero-level powerhouse.
Faced with everyone's surprised or admiring gazes, Claudia lowered her head, her white face flushed a little embarrassed, she had never liked to show off her strength.
Captain Gailan was still a little worried, and asked many people's thoughts: "But Your Highness, what if this group of orcs is really bad for you?" ”
Gianna looked at the archmage Twash next to her and said, "Don't worry, if we really get to that point, we will use magic to teleport back, Tworthh, please draw a teleportation rune here with the other mages in a while." ”
Twash nodded in agreement, and the others stopped persuading, and then the group walked out of the tent, Gianna and Claudia walked to the front, Gianna said to the orc soldiers, "Lead the way, we two will accompany you to your leader." ”
Just two women in total?
The orc warrior had already admired their courage, and he didn't say much, but turned his head and led the two towards the tribe's camp.
