Gianna and I had just fallen asleep at the moment, but Gianna woke up as soon as she received such a notice, she didn't expect to move so quickly, but without further ado, she immediately woke up and told me about it.

"Ronin said that Crassus was looking for him, and they were waiting for us, so we should go to him too. ”

"Well, I didn't expect it to be this time. I said very reluctantly, apparently not yet refreshed, to which Gianna told me that I had to hurry.

"If they act at this time, maybe the situation is a bit urgent, and we'd better not let them wait that long. ”

"You're right, we have to hurry. "I recognized what Gianna was worried about, and I quickened my dress, and at the same time, I also thought of the most important thing, after all, we are not the same as before, we can just come and go once, "We should explain what we should do before leaving." ”

"You go to Mavi, she'll take care of everything after we're gone, I'll take care of the rest first. ”

"Hmm"

Gianna was doing the simple packing and preparing some simple items, and the task was handed over to me, yes, Gianna knew that Mavi would definitely explain something, and she had better not bother. I understand that...

After dressing, I turned to Mavi's side, to my surprise, she did not sleep, but seemed to be waiting for me, and she has been repairing my armor, or rather, blessing and repairing my armor, yes, this armor was given to me by Sylvanas back then, a light and strong armor, indeed after wearing it, I dodged a lot of fatal wounds, and it has become a lot of holes because of me, especially after Sylvanas left, no one repaired it anymore, and when it came to the fight against Akmund, this armor was also considered scrapped, and now that I think about it, Sylvanas only left me this thing, and the dagger was lost somewhere when it was used by Nefarian, and this armor I thought was reduced to ashes when my World Tree fell, but now it looks like it was here in Mavi, and now it's almost completely repaired...

"Have you kept it all the time? It's hard for you..."

I said heavily, apparently Mavi knew what this armor meant to me. Of course, Mavi knows more than that, but what I'm here for, and more...

"Are you going?"

"That's right," I nodded, of course I didn't expect her to act in such a timely manner. "You've been busy all night. ”

"Maybe longer, I've been repairing it since you left Hyjal, and I'm now perfecting it with a few things in it, so that some sneak attacks may not work, and I don't think even my darts and blades will be able to pierce it, and it will bless you when necessary. This armor is indeed spiritual, and it can be seen that Sylvanas is very attentive. ”

"Yes..."

I said heavily, I really don't know what to say, if it's a memory, but as for the specific memory, I don't know what's wrong, but I can't recall some details. All I can say is, "Thank you." ”

"Nothing, that's all I can do. Mavi sighed. Perhaps the sigh had a lot of meaning, but she didn't say anything. And I'm just pursuing this matter as some narrow-mindedness.

"I think you know I need it... So it's up to you for the time I'm away. ”

"I know I'll arrange it, but I hope it's better for Lisa to do this, and I think it's definitely a good opportunity for her to go back to Filas at this time, and of course I'll make sure we're settled here. ”

"I believe your judgment and choice have always been, as for you to go back to Firas, how long will you stay?"

"I might be able to pick me up when you get back. Mavi said this, and I should have taken it for a short time. "Hopefully you'll be able to tell me about your experience when we come back. ”

"No problem. ”

When I said this, Mavi hugged me tightly, maybe this is the first time I've seen Mavi, although she has been trying to play the role of a little woman in front of me, but only this time I really feel that he doesn't have any pretense but his pure appearance. And I've always wanted her to be like this... Maybe if I had it at another time, I would have thought about cherishing it...

But not now, Luo Ning is still waiting for me, if he is dispatched at this time, the situation must be very urgent. But at this moment, I was suddenly pressed against the abdomen by a dagger with a coat, apparently Mavi indirectly indicated that he had defeated me again, and if this dagger did not have a coat, or I would have been hit.

And I was obviously a little angry about this, though in order to raise my vigilance, so that the priestesses could "do something like this" to me without my knowledge. Because I didn't expect her to keep me alert at this time, after all, I still really wanted to have such a private space with her, but before I could get angry, Mavi's words reminded me again, and hung the dagger on my waist, and simply arranged my clothes.

"Ronin and Crassus are still waiting for you and Gianna, Gianna is also waiting for you outside the door, you go quickly. ”

"If I have an accident... You will take care of our children and rule Lordaeron. ”

I felt her heaviness, so I said it half-jokingly, to which he responded to me with a very serious look.

"No, then you'll be turned into an undead by Gianna, and I don't care what form you are. ”

"Well, hopefully I'll live a little longer..."

I didn't say anything, but put on my armor and went out of the door of her room with Mavi, and at this moment Gianna was already waiting for me at the door, and Mavi also hugged each other, yes, obviously the friendship between them also made them cherish each other, and of course Gianna also knew that she was also taking Mavi's share. In particular, she also gave Gianna the token of a high-ranking priestess. After that, Mavi also gave Gianna a brief wish, apparently she also wanted to go, but the situation really didn't allow it.

"We're leaving..."

So we left straight away, because our destination was near the portal, but because the portal was broken, we could only get there by magic. This is at the other end of the portal at Kul Tiras.

And after arriving there, the guards found out that we were very surprised, but to my surprise, Nasa was waiting for us here, because of the interruption of the portal, Manic was very surprised, so just in case, a priestess of the night was arranged to arrange the guard, and it happened that she was here this time. I didn't ask anything after hearing this, but I wondered if Crassus and Ronin would be able to escape Nassa's vision on the reef two kilometers away.

"I think you can see where Ronin is, right?"

I asked the question curiously, and as I had guessed, Nassa knew it perfectly.

"They're there, Crassus waited for Ronin for half an hour, and what are they waiting for there, I think it's you and Queen Gianna. ”

"That's right, Luo Ning and I have something to do, Luo Ning is gone, and this place will be handed over to you husband and wife. ”

"We're going to live up to our mission. ”

Nassa said firmly, but Gianna seemed to have a problem in mind, since she had never heard him mention the Night Elves from Crassus, and she hadn't seen Crassus since Gianna met the Night Elves, so...

"Wait, you know that man is from Crassus, Nassa?" he asked the priestess, and to Gianna's surprise, Nasa knew Crassus very well.

"In addition to Elune, we Night Elf Druids also have a preference for Isela, and we priestesses are biased towards Alexstrasa, so we have crossed paths before, we were young at the time, and he has always been like this, although he may not remember us..."Nasha explained, without any flaws. "Because I knew that he was Ronin's master, your old friend, and that he hadn't set foot in the territory of Kurtilas, I didn't bother him, and then Ronin appeared, and although they had a quarrel, I thought it was best for us not to disturb them. ”

"You're right. Gianna nodded, maybe she was thinking too much? Or was there nothing at all, she always felt that the night elves including Mavi were hiding something, but maybe, it was just a tendency in her heart, after all, the pressure on Mavi's existence was still indescribable, although she knew very well that Mavi had never thought of replacing herself, let alone harming us, but maintained this royal family, but this time she always felt that something was wrong.

"Maybe you can tell me the story of the Red Dragon Queen in the future..."

It was at this time that Ronin and Crassus arrived, and it was clear that Crassus was angry at my tardiness and procrastination. Of course, there may also be other meanings, such as the fact that we seem to be asking about their queen's story, and he is even more angry at the sudden appearance.

"I think it's best not to say, priestess. Crassus said, and after seeing Nassa take two steps back, she didn't pursue further, but went straight to the point, "We can go now." Crassus said to me impatiently, and the guards looked at his disrespectful appearance and stepped forward to draw their weapons, but Nassa was surprisingly respectful, and Gianna motioned for everyone to let their guard down immediately.

"Of course, my old friend Mistress Crassus, then let's go now. "I was about to turn into a dragon as I spoke, but that's when I was reprimanded by the dragon again.

"I don't want to open a portal big enough for a dragon. Crassus said angrily again, obviously not talking about himself, but about me, that is, not to act on your own, such as turning into a dragon.

"Well, as you wish. "Yes, I don't see him for a long time, I want to catch up with him a little, but obviously he doesn't have that mood, and even inexplicably dislikes me, of course, I take it for granted that I have delayed him for a long time, as for anything else, I really can't think of it.

Crassus quickly completed the portal, and Nasha wanted some soldiers to follow me, but I didn't agree, just a few of us. Of course, this is not to say that it is not necessary for the rest of them to join this trip, but I think it is more convenient for more people to command more sacrifices than to have fewer people. As for the destination of the portal. I also take it for granted that it was there, the legendary maelstrom.

We don't know much about the maelstrom, but we do have a lot of side records. Because many times the eastern continent and the western continent are not navigable and it is also thanks to him, it is very dangerous there, so in order to get there, we often have to sail almost twice the distance between the north and the south to avoid there to ensure the safety of navigation, which also indirectly prevents the connection between our two continents, so that we did not know about the existence of other races such as night elves for a long time.

However, not everyone knows about the Great Maelstrom, when the natural disaster was just starting and the Burning Legion had not yet appeared, the unwitting Thrall transferred the orc tribe through there, and it is said that he almost confessed the entire orc tribe.

As for what Thrall had been through there, some intelligence said it was strange creatures and demons, but I hope it was just that, because after all, there was Sargeras buried, and it wouldn't be fun if his soul was still there. And the Shadow Council of Gul'dan was all buried there, and of course there was a considerable factor in this. At the most critical time, a huge orc red dragon cavalry was dispatched, and at that time, if it wasn't for Dai Lin waiting for work, waiting for the return of these red dragons, he fought an ambush battle with the main force of the dwarven griffin at sea, otherwise, if the dragon's physical strength was abundant, Kurtila might not just be Gianna's brother to explain there, and the powerful dwarven griffin knights of Kudran and Froud would not have been able to kill several dragons by themselves, which can only show that those dragons also consumed a lot of physical strength in the maelstrom。

Of course, now is not the time to reminisce about the past, but it is time to find out. Of course, I took it for granted that I raised my weapon in my hand, and also behind us, Nassa gave us the blessing that the first of them stepped inside...

And so we got inside. It was only when we got there that we found that it was not an island near the maelstrom as I had imagined, but a continent, and the brown land was as desolate as a bleak place, but the limestone formations here had not been fully weathered, and perhaps it was not as bad as the windy sand all day. This shows that this area is not as desolate as it used to be, and it may not have been a very lush place for a long time.

"This..."

Gianna and I were surprised because the chaos was caused near the maelstrom, an island area, but it was a desert-like interior.

"This is Silisus, once the territory of the Night Elves, but fought the First Century War, they called it the Battle of the Quicksand, maybe Mavi told you the details. ”

Crassus explained, Gianna and I looked at each other for this statement, not only the destination, not the maelstrom, of course, but also that Mavi didn't tell us this history, and I didn't expect him to know Mavi, it seemed that he had been watching us all along, and it seemed that he knew Mavi all along. But that's a story for later, and I think it's worth asking about it, because she really hasn't said much about her past, because Mavi has always been secretive about the past, and I didn't ask too much about the history of her alliance and its predecessors out of respect for her time as the head of a similar secret service organization of the Night Elves. Naturally, I didn't describe much of the quicksand battle.

But at this point, I seem to remember something, I've heard some priestess say that she used the Spirit of Vengeance for me in my fight against the Horde, which I didn't even use in the Battle of Quicksand... Maybe I should have inquired at the time, because I felt that Crassus didn't have the patience to mention it to me. But it's nothing, let's talk about it later.

"I don't say much, it seems like a terrible war. ”

I asked, and at this moment Crassus became passionate again, as if to rebuke me for my contempt for their efforts in that war, and for thinking that I really knew the details of that war, when in fact I knew nothing.

"That war was devastating for the Night Elves and our dragons, not for the other races... It used to be a camp for the Night Elves, but now you won't see any of them, most of the Night Elves are dead, and they, along with some of our dragons, lure all the Angela Bugs here as bait and seal them off. Crassus said passionately, as if he were concerned about the loss.

"Are bugs scary?" I said, and there happened to be a beetle on the ground, so I picked it up and said, and imagined the spider king named Anubarak before, they were indeed very powerful, but definitely not strong enough to pay so much, at least for Lordaeron in his heyday, they were not a threat at all.

"When they reach hundreds of millions, you don't think like that. They can devour everything they can, and when you destroy dozens of them in one go, you'll find that there are hundreds more waiting to come out. The fire and the flooding are hard to resist their advance and devouring pace, and the mountains are all over the country, and they are even more terrible than the undead, because you only need to kill the necromancer, and for the bugs, you will have to deal with their master, Cthun, who is behind the scenes, and we can't kill them at all, so we must lure them to a sealed place, and such bait will be the best dragons of our younger generation and a considerable number of Night Elves..."

Crassus frightened me as he said that his face had changed to a bug face, and although he was a bug himself, I was sure he meant it.

"Well, maybe that's what Mavi doesn't want to talk to me, I don't really know the details. ”

"Hmph! Looks like she's hiding something from you. Crassus snorted, as if to mock my relationship with her, to which I could only protest with a straight face, but then Crassus recounted the purpose. "We're here because that incident has something to do with the Elder God, so he wants us to come here to investigate, and what is on the Maelstrom side may just be a façade. ”

"Gianna, that's what Nozdorm has put us here. The Bronze Dragon King believes that the Elder God is related to the Elder God, and hopes that we can find out something. ”

Luo Ning also explained, apparently his attitude was much better than that of the red dragon. It's just that I'm weird about the purpose this time.

"Why doesn't the Bronze Dragon King come, and let you have an alien dragon to participate. ”

"He's trapped, didn't Ronin tell you?"

"My... I forgot..."

Ronin couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and compared to the reluctant and angry look just now, he had already switched roles with Crassus at the moment, and he was now the object of discipline, not as he had been training Crassus at the beginning, and this was not the point, the point was:

"What is trapped, is it Nesario, the minion of the Elder Gods?"

"It won't be the Guardian of the Earth, it's someone else. ”

"Guardian of the Earth, you've never called Deathwing like this. Have you been brainwashed by him?"

I'm wary and suspicious of Crassus, yes, if it's a turn of hatred, maybe no one can surpass Crassus, so no matter what, he can't do this, unless the Crassus in front of him is a fake... I gave Gianna and Ronin a look, but she and Ronin just shook their heads at me, apparently convinced that the guy in front of me was Crassus and not someone else in disguise. It's just that the two of them also questioned Crassus's call for Deathwing. Hopefully he will be able to explain, but apparently, Crassus also knows that he should tell us something.

"In order to fulfill his mission, Nesario sealed the ancient god Cthun with his life. "That's what Crassus can think of" Times have changed, I have a friendship with him for nearly 100,000 years, but everything has changed, it has become so fast, I didn't expect him to achieve his own salvation, although he may also be worried that the appearance of the Elder God may destroy everything, but in the end, he got rid of the control of the Elder God, and also took almost all the undead and demons, such an ending is also happy for him. ”

"That's good news!" I was very excited to hear the news, yes, this kind of thing couldn't be better, it is equivalent to solving many of our problems at once, black dragons, demons, undead and... But compared to these, the most difficult problem is in front of us, if it is not for the Ozdom controlled by Nesario, it can only be the more terrifying Elder God. "If it's the Elder God who controls Nozdorm, then how can we possibly fight him?"

"If we can, we can save him, if we can't, we will go and reconnoitre, and bring back information to my queen, and you should know how to deal with it, this is the mission I called you on, and our destination is nearby. "As he spoke, he instilled some kind of magic in Ronin and Gianna to make them clear about their destination, and I didn't know what they were doing because I didn't know how to do magic.

I felt a little depressed, but that didn't stop me from following his plan. For example, under his command, he transforms into dragon form and flies where he wants. That is, let me turn into a dragon to carry them around to investigate, if the range that his queen said is a radius of hundreds of kilometers, then the best way is to become a dragon.

Although I was a little reluctant, Crassus asked, and I really had no reason to refuse his order, after all, I was in their service in such a situation. So we patrolled around, and the sky wasn't yet dawn so the view wasn't very good, maybe it would be better if I brought a Night Elf over, but that's it.

An hour later, we headed south according to Crassus, but on the way we spotted something unusual, some minotaurs

"It's the Horde! Looks like they've got their forces trying to infiltrate here. ”

I said with some unhappiness that although we have made peace with the Horde, it does not mean that we are allies, and their infiltration of this place makes me feel that it is an invasion, after all, this is a neutral area, and if they occupy this place, then we will lose the opportunity, and as far as I know, the south Garkison is a relatively concentrated stronghold of the goblins, if they are connected, then our alliance will be trapped in the existing territory. But Crassus seemed to have misunderstood what I meant.

"If you want to start a war, I hope to wait until after this incident. I'm not here to help you fight the tribe. ”

"But we're going to help you fight the Elder Gods. ”

I was very angry when I heard this, after all, his tone reminded me of the fact that I had hoped for his help when I was fighting against the tribe a few months ago, because according to the meaning of this sentence, even if I was hacked to death by the orcs, I am afraid that the red dragon would not shed tears made me very unhappy, and he asked us to help for his own reasons.

"The Elder Gods are our common enemy, and this has nothing to do with your so-called faction. Crassus said, obviously even more impatient, I don't understand how Crassus could answer so shamelessly, but he certainly won't tell me that this is his queen's meaning, but what can I do, should I break with him and throw him out, but obviously I won't do it, after all, he is right, if it is a real threat from this world, then we still have to face it, but we are more angry. What can I say about such a situation? This operation is not a war, nor is it a politics of production, so they have the final say, and I am only responsible for protecting them, and it has nothing to do with identity...

It wasn't very difficult to find that place, but Crassus didn't seem to want to go there, or rather to go there first, but to another place, a place that shocked me...

A few hours later, we arrived at a place with a large castle complex standing in it, and I could hardly imagine what it was here. Tall and straight, a very strong and magnificent fortress complex, as I could tell that the foundations of this fortress were very deep. The area is very large, but this is not the Night Elf building, because the fortress and decoration placed by the boulders are not very suitable for their style, and more importantly, such a fortress is too huge for them, even for the ogre, but this is not the point, the point is that if we can occupy this place, we can build this place into a central fortress in stages, and then rule the area....

I was so fascinated by the sight of such a place that I didn't even respond to Crassus's cries, and even he launched a magical attack on me to interrupt my distraction.

Although such an attack did not cause any harm, I was still very angry at my friend's attack, but Crassus seemed to have his reasons for my anger and Gianna Ronin's incomprehension.

"This is the prison where some ancient god is trapped. You must have been confused by the Old Gods just now. ”

"I'm not that easily confused!" I snapped, but I didn't think he was doing too much, especially for dragons. "I'm just amazed that such a fortress is more majestic than Stormwind. ”

"No one wants to stay here but you. This is the battle of quicksand, the place where the bugs are trapped, and we still think that one day we can open this fortress and completely destroy the bugs trapped inside, but now..."

"Then why did you bring me here?"

"Let's see if there's anyone messing around here. Crassus motioned for us to go down, surveyed the surroundings, and then began to speak to himself. "But it's good to look at the seal now, could it be that Nozdorm guessed wrong..."

In addition to Crassus, Gianna and Ronin also tried to discover something, and although they were in different directions, they noticed something unusual and warned Crassus

"But there are traces of large-scale activity here!"

"They're the undead... Humans, trolls, dwarves, orcs, everything?" Ronin also carefully observed the situation here, and he also noticed something strange, yes, I can also see any traces of life here not long ago. Still, it surprised me when he said that these racial creatures appeared, because I didn't believe that there were so many races here, but that there should be a single faction, such as those of the tribe or the Night Elves, but he must be wrong to say that, but before I could question him, Crassus said something even more shocking.

"There are also some fallen bugs and powerful black dragons, but not Deathwing himself. Crassus muttered to himself, staring carefully at the magnificent fortress. "Maybe someone escaped!"

Crassus said that he was about to turn into a dragon, which I objected to, because it seemed to me that such a thing could not be detected overnight, and more importantly, it deviated from our main line.

"Maybe we should go back to our original mission and find the Bronze Dragon King, there is no time to delay. ”

I rebuked Crassus, and was ready to argue with him, but the red dragon had followed my advice this time

"You're right. As he spoke, he jumped on my back and urged us on.

We have made some calculations on the way to the other races that have appeared here, and the result is that some escaped zergmen took advantage of the invasion of the Burning Legion to kidnap our other races, including the black dragons, and then performed some kind of ritual here in a vain attempt to free their masters. Of course, as for the real answer, it is obviously not something we can guess. After all, the extent of the development has long exceeded our expectations...

A few hours later, we found the location, and we were able to find this dark mountain that was different from the surroundings, but compared to us I found that we were not the first to arrive, an army of dozens of minotaurs had already arrived and had been camped for some time, and we were very surprised by this phenomenon, because there was no reason to say why the tribe had arrived here. And it happens to be stationed here.

And it can be seen that the minotaurs here are absolutely elite. This doesn't mean that this team poses any threat to us, but it just shows how much the tribe cares about this place

"Did they arrive before us, or did they come here early, and why did they trap Nozdorm? or did they come to save him?"

I asked so many questions in a row, to which Crassus did not answer, but questioned one thing

"Nozdorm didn't mark the existence of the tribe in the place I gave me, and the queen didn't say it. But why!"

In this regard, Luo Ning and Gianna also expressed their understanding.

"Maybe we should question what they're here for, or go incognito. ”

"Can't we just ask us? We have a lot of relief now. ”

"But only if they're really a tribe and no one else. I continued, and Crassus continued to reply to me

"Who do you think they are? Aren't the Minotaurs all tribes? Or are they stupid enough to disguise themselves as Minotaurs in this place, and it's really better to disguise themselves as Night Elves or Goblins."

"So let's go down and ask, I'll see what happens with Ronin, Gianna and Crassus, or sneak in, and if Nozdorm lets us get here, it's definitely going to be thinking of going in, isn't it. ”

I said this, to which Crassus did not oppose me, but made a gesture to me:

"Good luck then. ”

"You're welcome!" we didn't ramble, but landed nearby, Crassus and Gianna went into hiding, Ronin and I entered, and for the wary orcs, they had already spotted us when we had just flown here, and based on their experience of fighting us and fighting alongside us, they had guessed that I had arrived.

"I didn't expect the leader of the alliance to come here, disrespectful!"

"I want to know how you got here, why, and I'm not the leader of the Alliance anymore, just the king of one of the Alliance's confederates. ”

"I'm sorry, but we arrived here on orders from our superiors, and everyone is not allowed to enter. ”

The guard said this, apparently only holding a weapon in his hand, and he knew that his words would not allow us to turn back, so we would most likely use coercion, and they obviously had a way of dealing with it. But to be honest, I don't want to start a war with them, after all, as a tribe adjacent to the tribe on three sides, we don't want to be a bridgehead on the battlefield of the alliance, and it's also because of the dragons' affairs, especially Crassus, who may not intervene, but I still want to solve this problem, such as using peaceful means, of course, if peace fails, we can also use force.

"I think it would be more helpful for us to exchange information with each other, can I talk to your captain. ”

I asked, yes, I was thinking of having their captain come out, because if it was necessary to kill him first, it would help me completely wipe out the entire Minotaur team here. But at this moment a deep voice came out, I knew who was coming, but I didn't expect that the tribe would also send him, Deputy Chief Kane, the leader of the Minotaurs.

"Of course, Arthas, I really wanted to talk to you, I thought about it a long time ago, I thought about it when I first saw you alone facing Akmund, so I want to know the purpose of your coming here, I don't think you're here to talk to me, so tell me what you're here for, okay!"

Looking at her appearance, I felt that things might have been more complicated than I did, and it was precisely because he also made me cut off the idea of forcing my way in, after all, killing the enemy's number two is no different from going to war, and now is not the time for war.

Go back a few months to Orgrim...

The war of the Horde Alliance had just ended, and after the Horde had lost quite a bit of strength, the war was finally settled peacefully. Although it was peaceful, for the tribe, the loss of this war was not only that its own tribe had crossed the status of the alliance, but also that the tribe's already weak economy was instantly revealed. And hindering the thriving military build-up, of course, is far more than that.

Some lord-level tribesmen such as Thrall and Kane have summed up some lessons, and he doesn't think that he is taking it lightly, because he has already gathered the absolute power of the tribe to attack the alliance before the war, except for Zulgin's navy, so he believes that the alliance's powerful mages, powerful priestesses of the night, and the alliance is far more united than he thought is the main reason for the defeat of this war. Of course, compared to these main reasons, he is still the most distressed or the mage, now think about Gianna and Ronin can lead some deadly priestesses to intersperse various battlefields, this war will definitely not end like this, and about the mage's super combat strength, he also thought of her death, that powerful dark magic death finger made Sal can't help but crush his own wooden cup, yes, this is not known how many, but the tribal steward has prepared a lot for him since he found out that Sal has this habit, although Sal has repeatedly said that he doesn't need so much, but the orcs who purchased it don't think soThis is especially true when all the tribes learn that they have raised a large amount of gold to buy food in preparation for trade with the Night Elves, and the alliance has already snatched up those food and other daily necessities, and uses the gold coins that have been accumulated by the plundered goblins for hundreds of years...

Although the current decline has appeared, it is obviously not the first time that the tribe has encountered such a crisis, and it is really nothing compared to the last time when the tribe was almost wiped out, and Thrall has already taken precautions. At the beginning of the war, Saar adopted his own reform plan, which was to increase agricultural inputs, and as for food, the use of harpy corpses was used extensively, and indeed the cold winter gathering prevented the corpses from decomposing, and the natural air-dried wind tunnel in Stonetalon Mountain made this work not very difficult, and the craft of ham-drying itself was a tribal skill, and at the same time increased the cultivation of winter wheat in the Durotan and Barren River basins, and at the same time planted rice in the Nushui River valley to alleviate the food crisis. As for the other threats, Thrall used the Great Satan method, that is, he put all his troops into production. Because he believes that the Alliance and the Night Elves will not make trouble for themselves, as for the threat of Deathwing, Thrall also thinks that such a thing should not be something that the tribe can consider now, and he knows very well according to the history he has mastered that compared to other races, they have no contradiction with this black dragon, and even when Naozu was in power, he also did a lot of win-win business, if he really destroyed the world, the Night Elves and the Alliance would definitely bear the brunt. However, just in case, he still sent Lockhan to deal with the investigation alone, after all, as the head, he must have a macro understanding.

Yes, he knew what he had lost in this war, that is, his prestige, and the fact that some optimistic people seemed to lack faith in honor, such as the things that Magatha did to Murosa during the raid on Theramore, coupled with the rumors of Dalin's death, and the destruction of the entire Lexa clan, made him a little suspicious that this female minotaur might be unscrupulous in some things. Of course, Thrall doesn't think that this minotaur has any other identity, after all, Sal sees that she is an existence that does not consider honor and is extremely concerned about the interests of the tribe, which is very important to Sal, and more importantly, this female minotaur does not seem to care about personal gains and losses and does not pursue higher status, so she does not pursue some things she may do, such as the possible slaughter of the Lexar clan and the assassination of Dalein.

And Thrall hopes that Lok Khan will distract the two powerful generals, Lexa and Murosa, and focus on their work rather than infighting or answering questions. Fortunately, Lockhan knew what to do, and tried to distract Lexa and Musaro, instead focusing on the answer he was looking for, an answer that he didn't even know how to deal with, and he always felt that something was interfering with the world. And it just so happened that Lockhan also found something at this moment, such as some people of various races seemed to gather in unison to the south and turned back the same way, that is, he had discovered the existence of the Twilight cult. Because no force can unite the existence of all racial forces, but at this time Lockhan did not tell Thrall this information.

In addition to Lockhan, Thrall had other loyal warriors, the Sarufar and Broxs brothers of Kukaron, but he had high hopes in this battle, but their performance made him extremely disappointed, and he was stopped by a night elf from Mavi until the end of the war, and the most ridiculous thing is that Mavi was able to return to command the main force of the alliance to stop the final war of the Horde. They arrived at the end of the war to lead Kukaron. In response, he had no choice but to remove Brooks from all positions and replace the dead Berks as captain of the guard. As for Sarufar, because he was not the commander-in-chief of the Kukaron at the time, he survived and continued to lead the force. For such a punishment, Brooks knew that this was already Thrall's great mercy, but the more such mercy, the more remorseful Brooks became. Although he didn't know how to understand this remorse, he was sure that if the enemy was a cruel demon, he would definitely kill them all. But what he felt in this war was an enemy like the Alliance, and there was no reason for him to be angry...

As for the other Zurkin and Gary Vickers, they still complained a lot about this war, because the war destroyed their homeland, but they did not compensate them, and they also had to work to build for the tribe, but they also knew that only the tribe could fight against the alliance, and they could only continue to support Sal and the policy of reconciliation with the alliance. Because Gary Vickers wants to defeat the Alliance through trade, and as for Zulkin, as an experienced troll, he knows that he must make this choice first, after all, now is not the time to turn against the Alliance. However, he still made a condition to Thrall, or a thing that must be done for the tribe, which is to restore the navy and train the existence of powerful warlocks or mages, and must be able to use portals and powerful destructive magic, otherwise the tribe will have no way out.

For this reason, he took out an object to his chieftain, a head, which was the head of Annathron, the former second leader of the Dreadlord that Zulkin sent to the territory of the Night Elves, to which Thrall did not take the head but asked the shamans to gather here, and referred to the opinions of other trusted shamans such as Drexar and Regal Shamans, but the answer he got made Thrall very embarrassed, because these old shamans were very disgusted with such behavior. In this regard, Zulkin and the shamans almost got into it. Because he did this for an absolute reason, that is, these shamans were indifferent when the warlocks of Zurud Necrus were playing with the more terrible demon souls at that time, and in terms of effect, how crucial it was for Orgrim to trust these warlocks at that time, and on the battlefield, the dark magic of the blood demon Tyrone was more loyal and practical than these so-called tribes, but now they actually rose up to stop themselves. Of course, the real reason why they almost fought was that there was a shaman who said that at the most critical time, that is, after the defeat of Lordaeron, Zurkin did not help Orgrim break the back, causing the tribe to be defeated and tightly bitten by the alliance.

Although Thrall stopped the conflict, Zurkin continued to curse. Scolding them for their shamans for being unsuccessful in the war, being crushed by the mages and paladins of the alliance mages and the priestess of the moon in all kinds of ways in front of their healing and spell abilities, they don't know that shame is over, and they also prevent the development of warlocks. The shaman was furious at this, but they had nothing to argue with, after all, they did not play any role in the war, and they had deceived Zulkin's navy in disguise, but they thought that one yard was one yard, and such a dangerous act was not advisable, after all, the Dreadlord had a very powerful ability to deceive people. In such a situation, Thrall, as the chief, still decided to take such measures, but as his most trusted shaman, Thrall still decided to let Drexal act as an envoy to supervise Zulkin's actions to prevent any accidents from happening.

Zulkin had no obvious objection to this, after all, in his opinion, the existence of a shaman was very necessary. And the hard work paid off, in a few months of exploration, they sought a lot of magic that the Dreadlord could use, such as simple teleportation spells, but at this time Drexal and Zulkin had a disagreement, Zulkin wanted to get the demon's highest mastery death finger, but Drexal insisted on studying teleportation and consolidating it. However, Sal did not say anything about the attitude of the two men, because in his opinion, such a competition would help him gain more power, after all, these forces are indispensable.

Unlike Drexal, Rhaegar trains new shamans, and as for some shapeshifting powers, Rhaegar finds that minotaurs are very talented in this area, and it is said that some minotaurs themselves are similar to Druids and possess Druid powers. Rhaegal and some shamans discuss how to introduce this power into the rest of the tribe, and then combine some of the light and shamanic power to become a new being. Saar is also very supportive of this.

In addition to directing production, Kane also recommended his son to serve as an envoy to the tribe to trade with the Alliance, and after dealing with the planting task he was in charge of, he still offered his opinion to Thrall. That is, he doesn't think the land lost in the confrontation with the Alliance is too important, after all, the Alliance has no power to fully use it now. Therefore, they should take advantage of the Alliance's weakness in Kalimdor to preemptively move south into the Silisus region, and then control the primeval forest of Angolo and Tanaris to the east, and then connect with the goblins of Angolo and Tanaris, so that the Alliance can completely trap the possibility of developing in all directions. For such a long-term plan. Thrall was supportive and asked him to mobilize Magatha's troops to assist him in his actions, yes, for the Maghasa group, after suspecting some of their actions, Thrall thought it would be better for them to stay away from here. So Kane arrived here after dozens of days of arduous marching.

But it was also after arriving here, that is, in the northern region of Silisus, that he seemed to remember some rumors of the Battle of Quicksand, so he did not continue south in Silisus, but turned to the east of Angolo, which was rich in living resources, after all, the barren Silisus was obviously unable to supply so many warriors of Kane. This is not the case with Angolo, which is also rich in fruit and vegetation, despite its dangers. This is important for the establishment of a permanent base.

As for Magatha, she could only go down after not receiving the order of the black dragon for a long time, and completed the task of rooting in Angolo without dishonoring her mission, and relying on their powerful domestication ability, she domesticated some of the fierce beasts here into the companions of the tribal warriors. And it is the addition of these animal companions that the tribe has more and more room for development in the Angolo region. Coupled with the connection with Garkison, Kane's plan was successfully completed without the Alliance's knowledge.

Yes, these forces entrenched in the south are not just symbolic, because the addition of wild beasts, and the complex terrain here, if the Alliance and the Horde clash again, it will be a great problem for the Alliance. However, Kane did not forget about Silisus because of Angolo's richness, and he still traveled back and forth between the two places, thinking about how to plan the future construction of this large base area...

It is also in this way, under Thrall's leadership, that the tribe has continued to recover after the war and still maintain its strength against the alliance, but when the maelstrom is unusual, it seems that something new has happened.

The night before Gianna and Ronin Crassus set out, Sal, as a shaman, noticed something unusual, and although he had felt a lot before, this time he could not be wrong, he strongly felt that a very powerful threat was already disturbing the world. Unable to sleep, he decided to go to Drexal, and yes, the old shaman always gave him a satisfactory answer and warning whenever he felt something unusual. This time, however, this was not the case, as many doubts arose with Drexall, and when he discovered Annathron's memories, he realized something that made him unthinkable. Although Zurkin, who was opposite him, laughed at him for being bewitched by what he feared, Drexal was sure that he was not bewitched in any way, and that such a thing was incredible, and that his memory seemed to foreshadow the coming of the storm, although the details varied greatly, and of course there was more to it than that.

Just when he was wondering, Thrall came to him, looking at the head of the dead Dreadlord, Thrall didn't like it at all, but he knew that this head was indeed very necessary for the tribe now. And for Sal's sudden appearance, Drexal couldn't help but be taken aback. This made Thrall more alert, and made him look closely at the older orc, he didn't want him to be the second of the orcs to be bewitched by the demons, but it was clear that Drexar was just too focused.

"Is this dead Dreadlord still trying to control us?"

Sal asked with concern, his eyes full of wariness, yes, it was the first time Sal had such a look at this elder, but it was clear that he was overly concerned.

"Probably not, but to my surprise, he seems to have known us orcs for a long time. ”

"This is not surprising, they all have tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years of experience, at that time we orcs did not have a historical record, maybe the Burning Legion knew us and our habits for tens of thousands of years. ”

Sal said it for granted, but what Drexal said next made Sal question.

"I'd love to learn about our past through them, but in his memory we first appeared in the world of Azeroth, not our planet Draenor. ”

"How is this possible, maybe he has a misremembered memory after his death. ”

However, he was very accurate about this catastrophe, 10,000 years after the Burning Legion's first invasion of Azeroth, there will be a huge change, and it will be the Elder Gods who are playing tricks! This Dreadlord knew about this 10,000 years ago, although he didn't know that they were defeated 10,000 years later. ”

"What does that mean?"

Sal continued to ask, apparently approaching the subject somewhat of their conversation.

"If this is the Elder God, who is making trouble, then we may be facing more than just something as simple as encountering the Burning Legion this time, I always feel that this threat to the entire world has exceeded the moment before the appearance of the Burning Legion, in the middle of the Endless Sea, something must have happened. ”

Sal nodded

"I found out too, so, what are we going to do now?"

Thrall asked Drexal, but just as the old shaman was about to shake his head, suddenly a raven next to him suddenly appeared in front of them in human form, and Thrall knew this figure, this figure was Medivan, the birdman who had tricked him into coming here to let the Horde and the Alliance fight against the Burning Legion, but he was not directly involved in the war. And like the last time we met, he went straight to the point.

"You have to do something, Grand Chief of the Tribe!"

"What do you want to do? Prophet, or Archmage Medivan, I heard that your mother was working for the Alliance, and so are you, can our tribe do something for your Alliance in this possible disaster?"

"I'm not going to join you in the boring political struggle with the Alliance, I'm here only to reveal an unknown prophecy. ”

"What prophecy is it?"

Sal wondered, he knew that this guy didn't show up easily, and if he did, something would definitely happen.

"As Drexar said, he peeked into the memories of the Dreadlord, and I have almost all of Sargeras's memories, but the orcs are in Azeroth 10,000 years ago, not Draenor, but I'm pretty sure that the time I saw the first orc was decades after Sargeras's death...

"So this could be a mistake made by the Burning Legion en masse?"

"Demons, especially the upper ones, aren't stupid!" said Medivan to reply to Sal, though he wasn't here to quarrel with Sal. "As for some of Sargeras's memories, I seem to have forgotten them too quickly, and it's not magic at all, but Sargeras's memories have been getting more and more blurry, just recently. ”

"Are you here to explore our origins?"

Thrall didn't want to listen to the prophet's babbling and was so sarcastic about the mage. Medivan seems to be angry about this

"Of course not, but this disaster, and the strangeness that Drexar saw about this disaster 10,000 years ago, the leader of the Burning Legion seems to have known about this disaster for a long time, but the memory of this is quite vague, and I also used the power of Zurkin to secretly observe the head of this Dreadlord King, I found that in addition to some of the same knowledge as Sargeras, the most terrible thing is that their memories are collapsing, that is, memories are blurring like us, and even the dead Dreadlord and Sargeras have almost the same frequency of memory loss in my place。 ”

"What do you want to say? Or do you want us to do something, and are you going to let the Alliance help with this?"

"I'm not here to get involved in your strife, and the Alliance has done it. The Red Dragon Crassus has already called out to the humans he trusts, Arthas, and his party to intervene in this matter, but I think it would be better for you to investigate, because in my memory, this crisis is something you must deal with with the Night Elves and the Alliance. ”

"Why are we going, the alliance has already intervened in this matter, what else do we need to do?"

"You haven't thought about how far this threat will be? This war still needs your unity to deal with, as for what happened, maybe your people should have their own knowledge and understanding, and should not passively get feedback from the alliance, because only after you really realize the horror of this disaster, you are not in the mood to consider who you or the alliance will contribute more and who will less. ”

As Medivan said this, Sal couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and only spoke for a long time.

"So tell me what is really terrible about this crisis, and who our enemy is, or who it might be?"

"Our enemy is the Elder Gods, and Akmund is nothing in comparison. And what's even more terrifying is that he is interfering with our world in his own way, and the loss of memory may just be a trick of his. ”

"But my memory has not been lost. I can remember everything I did after I kept time. ”

"This is just the beginning, and this loss of memory has already begun, and while I find it hard to imagine that the Elder God had such power, he does exist. ”

"But I need you to teleport our people to their destination, and that place you know is not a good place. Thrall remembered there, it was true that he led his people to almost capsize there, and he met Naga, and he was even captured, of course, about that memory, Thrall definitely didn't want to share with anyone...

"I will, but our destination is not in the maelstrom, but here. As he spoke, Medivan took out a crystal ball and looked at it, and surprisingly, this peak, yes, was exactly the same as the place Nozdorm showed to Crassus, but it was different, because the address given by Medivan was based on Nozdorm, which meant that it was a microcosm of the current place, not the image that Nozdorm gave to Crassus, the image that no tribe existed.

"Is Kane stationed there?" Sal touched his mouth. "Maybe I'll tell Kane to go and scout there. Sal swore by it, and of course he was questioning why Kane was stationed there. Or maybe he found something or some conspiracy. But Medivan shook his head.

"Perhaps you'd better not alarm the minotaur chieftain, who won't notice anything unusual there. ”

"So what do we do, and who can detect the anomaly, you need to follow them, put on this cloak of your invisibility, go after Crassus, and when you know what information they get, you will know what to do. ”

"I see, I hope the place they go is really there, but how do you know. ”

"Sargeras's body was misappropriated, so I went there. But there I found out that the Elder God seemed to be trapping the Dragon King of Time, Nozdorm, but Nozdorm didn't let me save it, but let me pass the news on to your tribe. He wants your people to follow Crassus and see the threat of the world, or he wants your involvement. And I think so, so I'm here to give you this message and get your Scouts there. ”

"I know who's going to be the right one, but my best Scout isn't here, and I don't know where he is, so maybe I'll need some time. "Thrall was talking about Rock Khan, but Medivan wasn't patient

"No, the Alliance has already moved, and if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to catch up. ”

At this moment, Brooks and his team arrived just in time, because they sensed that their chief had left the big tent, and the captain of the guard had just noticed that their chief might be a threat during the argument with Medivan, so he rushed over. And Thrall signaled that the human being was not a threat. And continued the conversation with him

"So you meant to send my people there?"

"I'll help you, but I want you to find the right people soon, they'll be there soon. ”

Madivin found out that we had flown around there, and said eagerly, and Brooks, who was bent on making amends, said that he and his team were intent on completing the mission

"Leave it to me, what to do, we will be able to do it, and I will prove that I am better than Rock Khan!"

Hearing this, Sal nodded, yes, in terms of this ability, Blox is indeed the best choice.

"Well, you go, then I'll tell you how to do it..."

Just as Thrall was about to tell him about the mission, Medivan took his hand over Blocks' head, although he wanted to resist, but apparently Medivan had cast a spell, and just when Thrall wanted to question Medivan's actions, his action was over, and Blox seemed to understand what he was going to do, and confirmed it with Sal. Sal nodded again.

"You have to act on the opportunity and come back as soon as possible to report the situation. ”

With a nod, Brooks arrives with Medivan's help and observes what is happening on our side...
