The quickest way to make a person mature quickly is to let him face the darkness of human nature and experience the sinister ways of the world. As long as he can get through it, he can get rid of his naivety and move towards maturity. There is a certain price to pay in this process, but what Gianna didn't expect was that the price of her maturity would be so painful.

As Ainan said, when Dailen Prodmore's Kurtilas fleet caught up with the orcs, even Thrall was unable to turn the tide due to the huge disparity in strength, and all the orcs who had just landed on the continent of Kalimdor became prisoners.

At this time, Gianna did something stupid.

Because of her friendship with Thrall, she secretly released the orcs.

Originally, Gianna imagined that after saving Thrall and his people, the orcs took advantage of the fact that Kultiras's army did not notice that Thrall led them to sneak away. But Gianna thought so, and the orcs didn't do that.

Since the soldiers of Kurtilas did not find out that they had been released, why not sneak up on them while they were unprepared, and inflict heavy damage on them if they could not destroy them all.

That's what the orcs think, and that's what they do. As they expected, Kul Tiras's soldiers suffered heavy losses, and the human army was defeated by Thrall and another orc leader, Lexa. Although Gianna begged Sal and Lexa not to hurt her father, her wish ultimately fell through.

On the one hand, Thrall, who is politically nimble, promised that he would not harm Admiral Dai Lin and stabilize this powerful human female mage, but on the other hand, he sat back and watched Lexa press forward on the army of Kul Tiras, who was overwhelmed, and finally killed Admiral Dai Lin.

At this time, Gianna was still naïve to prove to her father after the war that orcs were no longer bloodthirsty monsters who only knew how to kill, and that it was possible for humans and orcs to reconcile.

After the war, Gianna was disheartened to death when she learned the result. Thrall then appeared to her as a friend, thanking her for her loyalty to the tribe and agreeing on behalf of the orcs for Gianna to lead the remaining Kul Tiras soldiers out safely.

Throughout the whole incident, it is a great irony for Gianna that the identities of orcs and humans, prisoners and victors, are so reversed. She paid a heavy price for her youth and gullibility.

Swallowing the bitter fruit of her own brew, Gianna lifted her broken heart and led the surviving Kurtilas sailors to withdraw from the orc-held city of Durotal, and finally stopped on the island of Seramo, which is separated by a strait from the mud swamps in the southern part of the Kalimdor continent.

Gianna, who had made a terrible mistake, returned to the kingdom of Kurtilas, and she led her loyal soldiers to build a dock and castle on the island, intending to turn it into a war fortress.

Although Gianna and Sal are still in touch and are still friends on the surface, they both know that their relationship has actually broken down. The reason why Gianna didn't immediately fight each other was because the defeated Kurtilas sailors were greatly weakened, and they were no longer the opponents of the orcs. And because the orcs are new to Kalimdor, they are not familiar with the place, and Durotar is poor in resources, so it is very difficult to fill their stomachs, so how can they have extra supplies to start a war.

Not to mention that the defeat of Theramore would require crossing the barren lands, and through the treacherous swamps of sediment, long supply lines would have dragged the orcs to their death. The strait in front of Theramore alone was intimidating to the orcs. Even though the strength of the Kurtilas sailors is greatly reduced, they can still torture the orcs to the death in naval battles.

Seeing that neither side could help anyone for the time being, the orcs simply and generously declared that Theramore was the city they would never attack, and the orcs would not take the initiative to attack Theramore.

Hearing this, the Kurtilas sailors on the island cursed.

What won't take the initiative to attack, if you want to attack, you have to be able to attack, you don't have the ability to pretend to be generous, and it's so disgusting that people can't eat.

The agitated soldiers did not notice that Gianna reacted completely differently from them after hearing the news. She didn't scold, she didn't show any excitement, she just let out a long sigh, and the little good feeling she had for Sal disappeared with this sigh.

The soldiers didn't understand that the orcs had released Theramore as their purpose in never attacking the city, and only thought that the orcs were disgusting them, but Gianna could see that Thrall was doing it for nothing other than to pull her into the water.

People who don't know the inside story will definitely think when they hear the orc's claim, why don't the orcs attack the city you built by Gianna, there must be something wrong here. And her relationship with Sal is not too secretive, and someone with a heart can find out as soon as they look it up. In this way, Gianna's collusion with the orcs was confirmed, and this basin of dirty water was splashed, and she Gianna was speechless.

Gianna was once a disciple of Antonidas and the royal daughter of Kurtilas, and is regarded by countless people as one of the leading figures of the younger generation of mankind. With her in the middle, others will have some scruples when they want to take action against the orcs, and this scruples will make them hesitate, and if they hesitate, they will delay time, and this is exactly what the orcs who are still building a city with an unstable foothold need.

"Saar, Saar......"

Gianna looked at the sea, stunned. It feels bad to be taken advantage of, especially if this person is still a friend that he used to recognize.

"The dirtiest thing is the human heart, after going through this, you should understand."

Egwene didn't know when she came to the island of Theramore, and with her strength, Gianna could only find out when she opened her mouth.

Seeing Egwen, Gianna felt a sense of grievance in her heart, and her eyes were full of mist, but she held back, because Gianna knew that she was not qualified to say grievances. Ever since he came into contact with her, Egwyn had been warning her not to trust the orcs, to be wary of these foreign invaders, and to remember the pain and calamity that the orcs had brought to humanity. It's a pity that Gianna took all this as a deaf ear, and she had to eat the bitter fruit she brewed with tears.

Stroking Gianna's long hair, Egwen didn't say words of comfort, but solemnly admonished: "You are a rare genius mage among human beings, you were not mature enough before, and now I hope you can grow up as soon as possible." You have chosen this place very well, it can not only monitor the orcs, keep abreast of the movements of the orcs, but also monitor every move of the Kalimdor continent, and serve as an outpost for us to enter this continent in the future. ”

After all, Gianna is an adult, not a child, and she understands that only when she is strong can she really get through difficulties. Hearing this, she put away the tears that had not yet flowed and replied solemnly: "I will do it." ”

Egwen smiled approvingly, "I'm sure you can do it." You have to be vigilant with the orcs, that guy asked me to bring you a word: if you are not of my race, your heart will be different. He asked me to tell you that no one can fail to pay our Terran debts, and you must learn to endure before that. ”
