Chapter Eighty-Eight: Ambition
"The greater Edras Blackmore's ambitions, the more helpful it will be to our plans, we have obtained a lot of resources through him to form our own cavalry, and now it is time for him to help us deal with the orcs, and we will take the opportunity to capture the thief." Owen said with some nonchalant.
"You're trying to help Edras Blackmore, right? It seems that you have benefited a lot from Dunhold during this time. Gu Xin glanced at Owen coldly, as if he could see through his heart.
Owen suddenly showed embarrassment, and sneered: "This is also to help each other, I am absolutely loyal to the master, anyway, isn't the master's ultimate plan to subvert Lordaeron and even control the entire human kingdom, we are responsible for making this world more chaotic." ”
But he quickly added, "And there is no other way to get the crystal bottle back, we can't really run and fight the orcs, who are said to value coolies and slaves very much." ”
Gusin frowned, although he didn't have a good impression of that Edras Blackmore, but after hearing the crystal bottle, he finally nodded: "Okay, then you can contact Edras Blackmore, by the way...... Contact Aiden Pirenod again and ask him to send some more powerful syndicate thieves over, these are not fighting at all. ”
"Well, those orcs will definitely not dare to take the main road, we can only take a detour to the west of the jungle, we can go directly to the avenue of Tarummere, we will definitely be able to reach Dunhold before them, and then set up a trap and wait for those orcs to come, this time we are sure that the thief will not return." Owen said.
"I hope so......" Gu Xin rubbed his forehead, he was already very tired at this time, but the plan had been accidental, and he didn't get any results.
……
Despite repeated surprises in the plan, Owen's guess this time was not wrong, the orcs did not dare to appear openly on the avenue, and indeed had to take a detour through the jungle.
However, although he has been walking through the mountains and forests, because there is a frost wolf to ride, Song Zheng does not feel any fatigue.
What made him depressed was that the long time spent with his peers made him feel that he had become a little numb to the aesthetics of female orcs, which made him a little worried about his future sexual orientation......
The only thing to be happy about is that he finally co-opted a little frost wolf with a few fleshy bones.
"This little guy looks more like a Samoyed...... Or I'll help you choose a name, and it's Wangcai. Holding the little frost wolf covered in snow, Song Zheng immediately became interested.
The orcs didn't stop him from reaching the little frostwolves.
It's just that the old orc, who is not low-status, glanced at him from time to time on the way, which made Song Zheng always feel like a pinprick.
"That human seems to have something in mind about those frost wolves......" Orgrim Hammer of Destruction immediately whispered to the old orc beside him as he watched Song Zheng hug the little frostwolf.
"Well, it can be seen from his gaze, but the frostwolves are very smart, they know who their true friends are, and if that person exudes malice, those frostwolves will teach him a profound lesson, you must know that even the little frostwolves have great power." The old orc cracked his mouth and smiled, revealing his teeth that were already badly worn.
"You don't have to worry, Song Zheng saved me, he is definitely not a bad person, it's just that his words are sometimes a little incomprehensible, but we are ashamed of us for forcibly involving him in the next battle, then I am afraid it will make it difficult for him to integrate into the human race." Sal next to him whispered, looking at Song Zheng with some guilt in his eyes.
"If he wants to save people, he should naturally pay something, you must know that heroes are not so easy to be, sometimes they even need to pay for their lives, and he just pays a little reputation." Orgrim Doomhammer snorted.
"Let's hope he can really help us open the door to Dunhold, and based on the information we've gotten over the years, Dunhold isn't easy to attack." The old orc sighed slightly.
……
Dunhold.
This is not just a lonely castle as Song Zheng thought.
To be precise, this is a castle complex.
Large and small fortresses were scattered in the surrounding hills, forming a very tight defensive network, and at the center of the territory was the largest of the castles, Dunhold, through which the true extent of its control could reach hundreds of miles.
After the end of the Orc War, after more than ten years of development, Dunhold is now an independent kingdom, and because of the large number of orc slaves, various resources are obviously cheaper than other cities, as for those farms, they are completely cultivated by orc captives, and there is almost no cost.
With its many advantages, Dunhold attracted many humans to settle here, and now the overall size of Dunhold in terms of population and resources has even surpassed that of the former kingdom of Alterac.
As the population of the territory grew, so did the ambitions of Edras Blackmore, who was already a lieutenant general.
But what about Aiden? Unlike Pirenord, who successfully established the kingdom of Alterac on top of the desolate Snow Mountain, Dunhold's location was too important for either Lordaeron or Riptide to allow an independent kingdom to emerge here.
Although Dunhold has developed rapidly in recent years, it is too far behind the strength of Fort Riptide, let alone the incomparably powerful Lordaeron.
Edras Blackmore originally set his mind on the orc captives under his command, and spent more than ten years cultivating an orc elite, hoping to indirectly control these orc captives through him at that time, so as to form an orc army to counter Lordaeron.
However, this plan, which had been planned for more than a decade, failed due to the escape of the orc he named Thrall, much to his anger.
What made Edras Blackmore even more depressed was that he had recently received news from Lordaeron...... Orgrim Doomhammer has escaped from Lordaeron's prison!
Outsiders thought that the orc was very cunning, or too lucky, to escape from Lordaeron.
However, Edras Blackmore didn't think that Orgrim Doomhammer would have escaped on his own, considering that it was the chief of the orcs, and it was at the hands of Lothar, the commander of the Alliance army, that had died!
For this kind of vicious orc leader, even if he is not killed on the spot, he should be thrown into the most heavily fortified prison for life, and he will never be given a chance to escape, not to mention that Lordaeron has the most powerful troops in the human kingdom, and it also has the most heavily guarded prison full of magic traps, and it is completely impossible for the prisoner to escape from the prison under the royal capital of Lordaeron.
As a result, Edras Blackmore believes that it is likely that Lordaeron is deliberately trying to make trouble for him...... Once the orc chief escapes from prison, he will definitely try to save Dunhold's orc captives, which will make Dunhold never rest, and it will continue to weaken the power in his hands.
