Chapter 244: Eat, Sleep, and Fight Sal
Someone said: "People don't have dreams, what's the difference between them and salted fish." ”
Some people also said: "Without salted fish, what difference does it make if people have dreams or not." ”
Gruul belongs to the latter group, and he is a salted fish.
What is the dream?
Is it better than a comfortable night's sleep?
Fortunately, not everyone is a salted fish, there are still people with dreams, and Blackmore is one of them.
In the pockets of the big people in power, there will always be a few people who have real skills but cannot obtain a high position because of their background, but they are deeply trusted by the master's family, and this kind of person is generally called a confidant. Their abilities are admired by the Lord, and their faithfulness reassures the Lord.
Blackmore, in Terenus's pocket, belongs to one such person.
Despite the fact that he was just a small sergeant, Terenus trusted him more than many generals in the kingdom, and if it weren't for his poor background, Blackmore's military position would definitely be more than that.
Seeing that those who are not as good as themselves have been promoted one by one because they have been reincarnated well, but they have always been in the same place, it is unrealistic to say that Blackmore has no resentment in his heart. But the world is like this, what can he do as a little sergeant?
There are only two or three kittens under his hands, and there are few people who can even command, and Blackmore can only cry out in vain no matter how capable he is.
Fortunately, Terenus, the king of Lordaeron, trusted him, and Blackmore thought that he still had hope, after all, Terenus could not promote him because his background limited him. However, this restriction is not absolute, as long as he can seize the opportunity to make a contribution that no one can match, he can break this restriction and rise all the way.
Blackmore is convinced.
So, when the opportunity came, he didn't hesitate to seize it.
Originally the property of a nobleman, Dunhold Castle was in a state of ruin due to an orc invasion.
The castle was dilapidated and dilapidated, but the place was large enough and the location was good, so it was chosen by Terenus as a place to hold orc captives.
In other words, Dunhold Castle became an officially designated prison.
Blackmore was appointed to run the area, as the supreme governor of Dunhold Castle, the warden of the prison.
The official has not been promoted, but the power in his hands has increased.
No matter what the orcs say, they almost overturned the existence of human countries, although such a force was defeated and surrendered, who would dare to despise them?
Dunhold Castle is where the orcs are imprisoned, and it has the function of monitoring and suppressing the orcs, so its military power can be small?
After Blackmore became the warden of Dunhold Castle, he still held the rank of sergeant, and his soldiers were no less than any other powerful general.
Although he didn't get famous, he held real power in his hands, and Blackmore was still happy, walking with the wind.
Satisfied and complacent, Blackmore is not carried away, he knows very well where his power comes from, and he also knows what he can do to gain more power.
In order to climb higher, Blackmore is full of energy. He endured the filth and stench of the captive camp and led the guards around the camp where the orcs were held over and over again.
Blackmore had also participated in the war against the orc invasion, and he remembered the orcs as so violent, so bloodthirsty, so ferocious that they could blow the heads of human soldiers with a single punch, and laugh heartily when blood splattered their heads, like demons coming out of hell. When Terenus gave him the task of taming orcs, Blackmore was tempted to refuse, he didn't think orcs could be tamed, but reason couldn't resist the temptation of power, and his final choice was to accept the task.
But what did he see now?
The bodies of the orcs are still so strong, so powerful, but their spirit is gone. In the eyes of the orcs, Blackmore no longer sees rage and bloodlust, nor fearlessness and unyieldingness, but only decadence, loss, confusion, and overwhelm.
After only one big defeat, the orcs were decadent.
Lost just because he lost to the human orcs.
Just losing to an enemy weaker than oneself is confusing.
The mere fact that the Great Chieftain Orgrimmar was defeated by Uther in a heads-up was overwhelmed by the orcs.
Such orcs also want to compete with humans for territory?
Blackmore's contemptuous gaze swept through the rooms of the captive camp, and in the past, when the orcs were on the battlefield, they would definitely attack him in droves until they tore him to pieces, but now the orcs reacted motionlessly, as if they had not seen it at all, and ignored Blackmore's provocation.
The orcs have lost the faith in their hearts, and without the glory, they are no longer the fearless and terrifying beasts I remember.
Blackmore couldn't help but be secretly anxious, from the moment he laid down his arms and surrendered, the orcs who had lost their pride and glory in their hearts were gone, their bodies were still so strong, but their fighting spirit had become mud.
Such orcs are worse than salted fish, and expect them to take up arms and fight, for fear that they will scatter and flee before the enemy can attack them. His Majesty Terenus has asked me to be the administrator of Dunhold in order to train him an invincible army, and to help him, or the Prince of Arthas, sweep through the human kingdoms one day, and let the surname Minethil replace Lothar as the new king of the race. Now the orcs have become this dying, and there is no hope of completing the mission.
What to do.
Blackmore's hair turned gray with sorrow.
His power comes from Terenus, and if he doesn't serve this master well, he'll have nothing.
"I'm so worried, I'm so worried."
Blackmore didn't want to lose everything he had now, but he couldn't think of a way, so he could only circle around Dunhold, trying to find some turnaround.
Not to mention, he really made a discovery.
He discovered that there was a child among the orc captives, and when he tried to get close to the child, the orcs around him changed their lifeless appearance, and Blackmore even saw the muscles of an orc crumble violently, which was a prelude to an attack.
I provoked you earlier, but you were indifferent, and as soon as I approached this child, you reacted.
What does this mean?
This shows that the identity of this child is not simple, he can make the orc captives nervous, and the orc captives value him very much.
Blackmore, who had found out, was in a good mood, and in order to prevent the orcs from really going out and killing, he stopped and stopped stimulating them.
"Go get some goat's milk, such a young child shouldn't be roughed up."
Under the bewildered gaze of the guards, Blackmore laughed like a fox stealing a chicken.
Nervous about that kid?
yes, that's great. I thought you were going to be a salted fish for the rest of your life, but now I've caught the weakness. As long as I can control the child, I will be able to control Dunhold's orc captives through him, and let them take up arms and fight again. Perhaps such orcs are not as good as before, but their combat effectiveness is definitely not negligible. In this way, I will be ...... by the command of His Majesty Terenus Wait a minute!
Blackmore suddenly had a thought in his heart, the orcs used to be so powerful, if they didn't have enough brains and backward combat thinking, even if they would be defeated, they would not have been defeated so badly. With the strength of the orcs, what would happen if they had a good commander who had the mind to keep up with the situation?
Such orcs have the strength to defeat the alliance of human nations!
Blackmore's heart skipped a beat, and reason told him to stop a dangerous thought at once, but that's how the human brain is, and the more you force yourself to think about something, the more it will come out.
The orc Blackmore can't command, can he command directly or indirectly?
As long as you control the little orc that makes the orc captives pay a lot of attention, can't you control the orc army of Dunhold?
With the terrifying combat power of the orc army, do you still need to look at Terenus's face?
At that time, even if you can't destroy the alliance of human nations with a large army, you can always do it if you have a territory large enough to be crowned king.
"Go to your Terenus, go to your royal family of Minethir, instead of being a slave all your life, looking at people's faces, and calling people as dogs, it is better to play a big game and be the king yourself."
A voice echoed in his ears, as if it was a whisper from a demon, and as if it was his own heart, Blackmore was in a trance for a while. He knew that such thoughts were too crazy, and that it was too risky for him to do so, and he should not turn them into practical actions, but the voice from the bottom of his heart kept echoing in his ears, whispering in his heart, and echoing in his head.
"Let's do it!"
"This is your chance to change your fate, what are you waiting for?"
"You will never encounter such an opportunity again in your life, don't you want to change your fate?"
"Don't hesitate, go ahead."
"Come on, what are you waiting for?"
Blackmore felt that a demon had broken into his heart, and the temptation from the demon would lead him to the abyss of destruction, but why did he want to try?
It will be years before the little orcs grow up, and I have plenty of time to make a decision.
Blackmore made up his mind.
Maybe you can give it a try, and if it doesn't work out, report the situation of the little orcs to Terenus, and if it does, ...... Haha, that's a big deal.
Blackmore's eyes fell on the little orc, who was the key figure, and whether he could achieve his ambitions was up to him to control the little one.
Adult orcs are strong, Blackmore thinks that even if he is fully armed, he may not be their opponent, but the orcs who have not learned to walk are so weak that he can kill them with one finger.
"The best time to train a beast is from the juvenile stage, and from that time on, the idea that you are stronger than him is planted in the beast's heart, and this idea is implanted in the beast's soul through repeated beatings, so that even if the beast is an adult and has enough power to kill you, it will not dare to resist you because of the idea planted in childhood."
Blackmore's eyes were tinged with cruelty, and he had already planned his life for the next ten years - eating, sleeping, and beating Sal.
As for who Sal is?
The name of the little orc, of course.
Don't you know that the word Sal in the lingua franca is a slave.
