With the tribe for a while. Since the end of the war, Thrall has fought for great benefits for the tribe, and the tribe has once again entered its heyday because of the support of minotaurs and more trolls, ogres, and dragons, Kodomons, monitor lizards and other creatures, but Thrall is not satisfied with the status quo, he knows that there are many threats in this world such as natural disasters, and other such and such unstable factors, so he wants to make his tribe more fully prepared before facing the threat, that is, to make the tribe stronger. To this end, while naming Razor Ridge Orgrim and starting to build the city in the orc style, he also gathered the leaders and high-ranking generals of all the tribal races, except for Woking, who had already begun to build the tribal navy in the Echo Islands, to discuss the future of the tribe in a large tent of animal skins...

"I said, what are we going to do next?"

Thrall, who is the chieftain of the tribe, opens with a brownish-black skin, the original color of the orc's skin is very eye-catching in front of the red and green-skinned orcs, but of course that's not the point... Immediately afterwards, the other commanders spoke in order of identity.

"We must first have a stable region, although our tribe occupies most of the center of the Kalimdor continent, but there are many threats on our connection points, there are a large number of centaurs in the barren lands, and their presence cannot allow our tribe to connect with Dulongtaor and other regions, and Mogore, the desolate land, is also entrenched in a large number of centaurs, we must eliminate them in order to ensure our stability. ”

"Not only that, but the birdmen entrenched near Rocktalon Mountain are also a threat to the Wyverns, and if we are guaranteed a sufficient number of air forces as you requested, we must eliminate the human-faced Ornithians there, so as to expand the habitat of the Wyvern and reduce the threat. ”

When the main leaders of the orcs took their seats, Kane, who sat in the position second only to Sal, first answered the question of Chief Thrall, yes, the Minotaur, who is the mortal enemy of the centaurs, first pointed out this, and there is also Sarufar, who did not participate in the battle of Mount Hygar, he has already started the construction of the Orc Wyvern while transporting the orc civilians, yes, since the fall of the Dragonthroat Clan, the air force has always been a great weakness for the Orcs, so they cherish the appearance of the Wyvern allies, so they also follow Kane's intention to say their opinion。

Their opinion was echoed by all the tribesmen and cheered. Their meetings are just that, making no secret of their emotions. Perhaps Thrall, who grew up among humans, didn't like this, but one thing is certain, and that is that he is just as good at hiding his feelings and purposes as humans are, as well as the perceptions and scruples of a human politician.

"If we attack now, will it make others think that our tribe is still militant? Thrall asked Kane, who seemed to him to be kind and wise Minotaur leaders who could still give a lot of advice, and although Kane had already given his opinion, he still wanted to know what the elder knew, so he started a conversation with him.

"We can't hesitate now, if we can't unite the various ethnic groups, so that our scattered distribution throughout the continent will easily be divided by others, and each will be broken. ”

"Who do you think, will attack us. Sal asked respectfully, but Sal's understanding of the minotaur made Sal feel a little extreme, although this realization did not affect the importance he attached to Kane's opinion.

"Our common enemy, Akmund, has been destroyed, and after sharing the fruits of victory, we will have no need for allies, and perhaps it will not be long before more contradictions will arise between us, and if we do not do something, it will be us who will suffer. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Take one step at a time, stabilize our own forces first, and deal with all the threats that arise in the future. ”

Kane's opinion is very clear that he should first stabilize his own field and seek development, although Sal is very supportive, but he always feels that there is something wrong, or where Kane is doing something wrong, such as some contradictions with the alliance...

"I've heard that you've taken some humans captive and made a fuss. Sal changed his words, perhaps everyone thought that Kane would be secretive about these things, but Kane still answered the question very calmly.

"They did something wrong when they crossed our territory, and now that my lieutenant Magaza is in control, I will have all the surviving humans handed over to Arthas, but those who are in the hands of the centaurs are not under my control. ”

"It is said that Admiral Dalin of the Alliance is among them, so what is he doing now?"

"According to reliable sources, he has led their main force to the area near the Dust Swamp. ”

"Hopefully this won't create any gap between us and the Alliance..."

Sal wanted to continue to ask anything specific, yes, he knew that Dalin's position in the Alliance was very important, and he still hoped that the Horde and the Alliance could get along, after all, he still felt that he owed me a lot... Of course, he won't lose the interests of the tribe because of this... Just as Thrall was about to speak again. A young orc figure broke through the back door of the tent, and there were also two guards blocking him, but after the two orc guards were knocked to the ground by him, no orc could stop him from entering. And he said what he wanted to say before the orc chief got angry.

"The alliance only has a few thousand troops now, and it is not worth mentioning at all if you count the humans who are still fighting with the undead on the continent over there. Even if they complain, they can't help us, and if you give me 10,000 elites, I can completely smooth them out. ”

"It's because they've paid a huge price for this Burning Legion invasion, and that's why they're in such a slump, and you'd better remember that. ”

Sal reprimanded, but Garrosh confronted Sal.

"But what about my father. In order to cover us, he and the main force of our Warsong Clan were left behind by the human leader Gianna to defend against Manolos, and the humans are simply trying to consume us! The young orc pointed to the back door, where he came, the human who happened to take care of the young orc, and Taressa, who had been Thrall's sister and accompanied Thrall since she was a child, happened to be at the back door, and the shadow reflected on the wall of the big tent through the light and shadow outside was a human woman, and after the young orc said this, the figure outside couldn't help but show a tearful expression.

"Shut up, Garrosh, this is not the place for you to speak. Angry, Thrall finally couldn't help but get angry at the young orc, yes, at this time he wanted to comfort his human sister, once upon a time they had transcended this status... But now the atmosphere has changed, and I can't do that on my own.

"Chief, although his words are inappropriate, we still have to accept the reality that we may not be able to maintain such a relationship with the Alliance for long, and although we have not yet torn our faces, we do not need to worry about other races at all without touching their interests. Because if we blindly scruples, then it is we who will fail in the end, and such an opportunity will not come again. If the Centaurs join the Alliance, then we are a threat. ”

"Chief Kane is right, then we must first eliminate the men and horses entrenched in the main roads of our various regions, and there are other threats, and we must ensure the security of our tribe's territory in order to successfully develop our power. ”

"Our tribe is unbeatable...."

.....

Commanders of all levels of the tribe, and even almost all orc commanders and generals responded to this approach, and the venue became chaotic like a shouting battlefield, and Thrall, who was a little shaken, did not manage order in the first place. Because once upon a time he wanted to let these powerful centaurs into his own use, but now it seems that the current tribe may have reached a kind of relationship saturation, if the centaurs join again, it may cause the tribe to split, of course, it is a very difficult thing for the centaur to join the tribe itself, so Sal gave up this idea in his heart... And after striking the ground with his hammer of destruction, he spoke again.

"Well, if you don't have any objections, I'll lead the main force to wipe out the barren land... Of course I will do it at the lowest cost. Sal's voice wasn't very loud, but it did silence everyone. However, this does not stop other senior leaders from continuing to make their own suggestions, especially some key messages, and some careerists who have been waiting for the right time to speak...

"Centaurs aren't terrible, but what is really scary is the owner behind them, the stone mother's daughter Thrydes, who gave birth to centaurs and sustained their society. And it is said that the Night Elves Moon Priestess Mavi and Arthas went to find him. "The deputy leader of the Minotaur Magaza continued to explain some of the history of the centaur to Sal, yes, the female Minotaur got to the point, but she obviously didn't just want this purpose, but she just wanted Thrall to kill the gods, she knew that no matter who won or lost, she would benefit, of course, only if she was persuaded to let Thr do so, so she began to question Thrall.

"Don't you minotaurs also believe in Mother Earth, how can you be enemies of her daughters? ”

Thrall was surprised to hear this, but Magatha perfectly explained that Thrall should not be concerned about these relationships.

"But she is not Mother Earth, and the other Centaurs have done great damage to the Earth itself, and the Barren and Desolate Lands were not as desolate as they are now, and before the Centaurs appeared, they were all lush forests like Mogaolei. They are Mother Earth sinners. ”

Magazar retorted to Sal, and although it was a bit embarrassing to the tribal leader, when it came to the matter of faith, Sal was not arguing about anything, but accepted everything she said.

"Do we really need to destroy Thrydes?" Sal still hesitated a little and asked Kane, and at this time the Minotaur Chief did not make a clear statement, but nodded helplessly, so Sal also reluctantly continued to ask the female Minotaur ..."That means that if we are enemies of the centaurs, we must deal with Thrydes?

At this time, Magatha took out a military map for Thrall, and used the opportunity to propose a series of methods to solve the entire race of centaurs.

"Thrydes is stronger than most demigods, so to kill her, we must concentrate our forces, first send troops to encircle and suppress Maradon to lure all the centaurs of the Desolate Lands here, then cut off their food routes, force them to shrink in this valley area, we will destroy their villages in other regions while cutting off their food routes with our own fortifications, and force them to attack our fortifications, and then when Thrydes appears, we will destroy them. ”

"It's easier said than done to kill her, her smaller body is only a threat to her with spells, melee attacks and bows and artillery won't work, but spells aren't our forte. ”

Kane asked, but she immediately dismissed it.

"Do you think she's still as petite and cute as the Night Elves are said to be, she's as fat as a hill now, and I'm afraid it's a problem to walk, so we can use our firepower advantage to get closer to her. The female minotaur explained to Kane, who questioned her, yes, the news made Kane a little shocked, but he never doubted that this female minotaur who was second only to him would harm his own race, so he believed her information and said nothing. And she didn't finish speaking, because she had already calculated to completely wipe out the Centaur race..."As for the centaurs entrenched in the barren land, we had better attract them to us, because the Nushui River valley to the west of Razor Ridge, then we block the river, and then we will be condescending on the peak of Razor Ridge, taking advantage of the unfavorable and lack of air resistance of the mountain centaurs, who are not good at mountain warfare, and do not have the characteristics of tactical literacy to fight with them. When the ogre clears the way, the trolls and other ranged troops will follow, and with our air and magic superiority, we will be able to wipe them all out. As for those human-faced eagles, when we have packed up all the men and horses, in another month or so, it will be almost their breeding season, as long as they destroy their habitat with land forces, they will definitely take the initiative to engage us in close combat, so that they will not be able to take advantage of their aerial guerrilla warfare, and then use the big bird nets to quickly destroy them, as long as we act fast enough, I think we can destroy all the habitats of the birdmen within three days, and the Night Elves and their air force horned eagles are also very hostile to the birdsmen, so we don't have to worry about any diplomatic troubles。 Even if they oppose us, if we move fast enough, the Night Elves won't have time to gather their strength to stop us. ”

Margasa's words were watertight, leaving the tribal pacifists, with nothing to say, and even more so for most of the radical rightism to boil over quickly, yes, it was indeed a very good idea. And Sal recognized that his advice was a good one. As the leader of the tribe, he also knew very well what it meant for the orc tribe to destroy the centaurs and those birdmen, yes, if he wanted a stable home, he had to do so.

"Just do as she says. Thrall agreed with her, but not as agitated as the other tribesmen. "Kane, you lead most of the orc troops and the minotaurs to prepare the fortifications in the Bleak Lands. Here, I will personally lead the elites of all races to personally destroy the centaurs of the Barren Lands..."

"How do you attract people to us?"

At this time, Drake, the representative of the tribe's left who had not spoken, asked, yes, this oldest, even a generation older than Sal's father Durontan, he still felt the fluctuations in Sal's heart, yes, he didn't want war like the character of Fordin in our alliance, but the difference was that he knew that he couldn't change anything.

His words calmed the scene down for a while, because even the militants couldn't think of what they could do to attract their men and horses to concentrate their forces and rush into the Fury River. But at this time Magassa spoke again, and it was obvious that she would refute any opposition to the war, and that everything had already been planned.

"Use the Kukaron wolf ride, harass their villages and force them to invade the Nushui River!"

"But the wolf riders are not well trained. If you are surrounded and suppressed..."Sarufar objected, but before he could finish speaking, he was directly denied by the female minotaur

"It's better than us fighting them on the plains... There will always be sacrifices in war. ”

She said to Sal, yes, this sentence is the key to impressing Sal, and Thrall, as the chief of the entire tribe, knows this very well.

Sal said no more, no one questioned it, and the war was the subject of the meeting, and Sal knew that as for construction, diplomacy and anything else, I am afraid that it would have to wait until after the war.

After the meeting, Thrall left behind the elite troops of trolls and ogres, as well as the Wyverns, Kukaron's elite and wolf riders, and mages totaling tens of thousands of troops. They remained under the command of Thrall, and the commanders who remained were orc generals such as Sarufar, Regal, and Burks. The other leaders and troops had rallied to the Bleak Lands to launch a general assault on Thrydes. And the war of the new race life and death level in this continent did not die down because of the death of the Burning Legion Akmund. After just a few days of peace, new wars followed......

Kane led most of the tribal army to the Bleak Lands as planned, and got rid of the Stone Mother Princess, and on the way, in order not to be discovered by the horses, they followed the road they had come, that is, along the muddy baths of the Northern Barren Lands to the Mogaure region, and reached Maladon through most of the Bleak Lands. Maradon is a basin terrain with only a few pathways, so it is very topographical advantage for Kane to build a defensive wall. And that's not all. He was on the left side of Thrall's opinion on the establishment of the capital, and he hoped that the capital of the tribe would be established deep in the land, away from other races such as the Night Elves. And if you take this opportunity to use the power of the entire tribe to build a facility in the Maradon region and build a full-fledged urban area, you may be able to convince Thrall and most of the tribal leaders to change their minds. Of course, this is all after defeating Princess Shimu...

On the other hand, in fact, before this operation, Kane himself was very skeptical about whether it was necessary, although they and the centaurs were mortal enemies, but because of his belief in Mother Earth, he still felt that doing so might be retaliated by the earth, however, since no one explicitly objected, and this opinion was still put forward by his own people, plus he really wanted to get this place, so Kane still abandoned this thinking and strengthened his determination to kill Thrydes, after all, he knew very well that if there was a little hesitation that caused him not to kill Thrydes, then they might be facing more than just a simple matter as a stone mother princess and a centaur race。

On the other hand, what happened here in the remaining tribes after Thrall and Kane parted...

For a long time, since the death of Orgrim and the entry of Tirioferdin into the orc tribe, Taresa has gone from behind the scenes to the front of the scenes, especially since the humans have united against the Burning Legion. But with the separation of the Horde and the Alliance, and the outbreak of the Dalin affair, Taresa seems to sense that the diplomatic relations between the Horde and the Alliance are drifting apart, and as a direct result of this, she doesn't seem to have any place in the tribe except for a few leftists such as Itreig, Sarufar, and Rhaegal to communicate with. Especially in the big tent meeting just now, as the teacher of Garrosh appointed by Sal, she was even more ridiculed by the students. But the good thing is that no matter how much she changes, her position in Sal's heart has always remained the same.

After the meeting, Sal and Taresa met first, and Sal comforted Taressa, especially after seeing that her arm was probably caused by Garrosh. But compared to this, Taresa is more concerned about another problem. And when the question was asked, Sal couldn't help but leak wrinkles that didn't match his age.

"Is there another war?"

"Yes, for the sake of the Horde, we must destroy the centaurs in the areas adjacent to our territory, so as to ensure the stability of our territory. ”

"Maybe someday, you'll be in trouble with the Alliance. ”

"No, we will keep our promises, but it will force us to resist if the Compression Alliance insists on encroaching on our territory and threatening us. Sal said, though perhaps this firm statement was not as firm as before....

"But now we are all in a new period, we are all entering this new continent, we are all carving up this colony, you are thinking about expanding the power of the Horde, and Arthas is also thinking about recovering the Alliance. Therefore, it is natural that he will also expand his power here, although his current strength has almost completely withered. ”

"A dust swamp is enough for the Alliance. Sal said, though he knew it was impossible, and he knew that my character was consistent with his determination of his own race... It's just that he still lets the reality appear, that is, the withering status quo of the alliance now, to paralyze his rational understanding of the alliance, after all, we are gracious to him. "He should cherish what is left of his people and not start anything against himself. ”

"Maybe..."

Talesa also nodded as much as she could, yes, she really didn't want to have a war after too many stories, especially between the Alliance and Thrall, maybe she was also familiar with me, and like Thrall, she also wanted to use this answer to numb her own understanding. Or maybe she suspected that Sal had already taken into account that I couldn't just settle for the status quo, so she jumped out of these three sentences, but it was at this time that Sal unconsciously asked Taresa a question from the bottom of his heart, and this question also made her already somewhat unsettled heart set off even more waves.

"If we do go to war with the Alliance, will you be on our side?"

"I..." Taresa was stunned, she couldn't answer the question at all, yes, he didn't think Sal would ask him such a question, but she already had a choice in her heart, he should have gone back with Tirioferdin when he returned to the Alliance, but she had already made this choice at that time, because she had long since treated Sal as more than just her own brother...

"You don't have to answer..."Sal said calmly, and turned his head, yes, he still has a lot of military affairs to deal with now, and now he has abandoned the responsibility of a leader to talk with her first, which is indeed very gossipy, but at this time, a movement of Taresa still made Sal's heart fluctuate instantly.

"If you break the peace, as you say, I will defend the tribe to the death. Taresa said, and hugged Sal on the back with her hands that are very slender compared to humans, yes, although their identity as a couple has been tacitly accepted by the tribe and everyone else, but Sal has never had time to have children for the sake of the tribe, but now Taresa's choice makes Sal feel very gratified, if she can give up her country and her race for herself, then her heart belongs to Sal alone.

On the other hand, because of the chaotic entry into the venue, the reprimanded Garrosh saw this scene in the dark, although Taresa was appointed by Thrall as his teacher very early, but obviously an orc with extremely strong self-esteem, plus his father died because of a broken mission of Gianna at that time, which made him hate humans extremely much, especially Taresa looks so much like Gianna, plus he respects Thrall very much, so he doesn't want to see this scene happen at all. Of course, Garrosh is no ordinary orc, and he also learned patience from Taresha. He is also prepared to sever their relationship in any way, of course, the best way is to kill them with one blow.... In the same way, everything he was spying on Thrall was also noticed by Thrall's scout Lockhan, and as the best scout, he was assigned a task by Thrall to report, but now it seems that he has to wait. And he was hesitant to report to his chief when it was time to report to Sal about what was going on in Garrosh in front of him.

After all this, Clauhan told Thrall the news of the Alliance, yes, this troll is different from other trolls, he was also there when Orgrim was imprisoned in the dungeon of Lordaeron, and survived, and he did a lot of key things at some critical moments, but unlike those positive heroes of Sarufar, he is more suitable for reconnaissance and other work, plus his loyalty is used as a special use by Sal. And all along, even since Thrall became the Orc Chieftain, he saw me as the biggest potential threat, or the most noteworthy place, so he sent his most trusted and capable scout, Rock Khan, to participate in these matters alone.

Lockhan recounted the fact that Locke Khan had given us prisoners and supplies free of charge, as well as the death of Admiral Dalin and the beginning of my massacre of goblins, as well as the fact that Dalin might have died at the hands of the Minotaurs, to which Thrall was worried. Yes, he didn't expect this to happen, because all the major events reported by Lockhan were not the same as Thrall had predicted, for example, he thought that I would now have a conflict with the centaurs over the captives, or even war. And the death of Dalin, if it was really at the hands of the Minotaurs, and the imposition of the crime on the goblins and the slaughter of the goblins under the pretext of doing so... The politically astute Thrall had a vague sense that things might not be as simple as he thought, or that Thrall thought that the relationship between the Alliance and the Horde was starting to turn in a somewhat unfavorable direction.

A few days later, Thrall prepared his tactics, and while sending wolf horsemen to raid them, he also prepared a defensive line himself, including of course a natural stone dam in the upper reaches of the Nushui River to the north, knowing that if the battle was unfavorable or the centaurs noticed the situation, he could also annihilate the entire army of men and horses in this way...

After more than ten days, the centaurs of the Barren Lands, unable to endure the harassment of the tribes, finally gathered together and prepared to charge the Nushui River region at the border (continued from the previous chapter).

Although I was better hidden in the clouds, Sal quickly realized my presence, he didn't expect me to be here, but since I did, he had to know my purpose, and of course the best way was to let me go. So he informed one of the dragon knights in the clouds to determine my purpose and tried to drive me away, but unlike what he expected, the dragon knight ate a closed door.

Sal was very angry about this, and of course secretly refused my request to see him. Because now is not the time, the counteroffensive is about to begin..... However, Thrall was still convinced that I would not make a move, and just thought that I had come to him, and I just happened to see this scene, but when my flames sprayed on the orc troops, his understanding changed instantly....

The Horde's ranged units and wyverns focused their attacks on me. But the mages of the tribe are generally weak, and they can't pose a threat to me who is protected by Luo Ning, in this regard, he also unconsciously raised his hand, ready to cast a spell on me, yes, with Thrall's strength, if it is a sneak attack in the dark, it is impossible for Luo Ning, who is concentrating on other places, to defend against this lightning attack on me.

But at this time, Taressa, who also couldn't believe all this, quickly pressed Sal's arm.

"No, you can't do that. ”

"But he opened fire on our troops, and you promised me that if Arthas he violated our alliance, you would break with it. ”

"But he didn't want to slaughter our people, just to cover their escape, and he probably didn't want this massacre. ”

"Taresha, does it matter, there are already orcs dead in his flames. ”

"Let them go, I beg you, just this once, this time after I promise you, promise you to break with the alliance completely. ”

Talesa cried at Thrall, yes, they still owe me a lot anyway. If Taresa says that she is now breaking with the Alliance, then she also acquiesces in that decision.

"Yes, we have now completely broken with the Alliance!" Thrall lowered his arm, of course, missing the best time, at this time, I had already retreated out of his attack range when covering the centaurs, and the helpless Thrall turned to another way, a way that was not a threat to me in the air, that is, he used his earth power to destroy the dam in the upper reaches of the Nushui River, and the flood immediately poured out, almost engulfing the entire centaurs... Yes, Thrall still wanted to try not to destroy the dam, but now he had to do so in order to destroy the people.

Thrall was surrounded by only the three high-ranking generals of Sarufar, Regal and Burks, and they looked at each other, and they didn't say anything, pretending to be okay and avoided it, but compared to the real embarrassment of the other two, Berks was very excited in his heart, because he knew that his master's purpose was to achieve the break between the tribe and the alliance, but he felt that it was not enough. He still wanted to spread out such a thing, that is, Talesa's stop from Thrall, so as to dispel Thrall's status in the tribe. And at this time, he noticed that Garrosh was secretly in the dark, and after watching him leak an evil smile, Berks also did the same in his heart, of course, not only that, but at this time, a troll scout from Woking came to Thrall, which further complicated the situation.

"Chief Woking reports that a large number of Coalition naval air force transporting tens of thousands of people is massing towards the Dust Swamp region. ”

"Got it. Thrall didn't say anything, just answered these three words, but his hammer was already tightly gripped. Yes, perhaps he guessed that a war might have begun to rehearse, and of course it also strengthened his determination to solve the current thorny problems of the tribe as soon as possible, because tens of thousands of alliance troops are not a threat to Thrall, and the real threat is that the centaurs and the alliance are combined, relying on the strength and number of centaurs and the cunning of humans, the tribe is simply difficult to resist. "Hurry up and give me an airship to go to the Badlands, and I'll personally direct the battle to destroy Thrydes. ”

To be continued.....
