Chapter Ninety-Four: Redemption and Ashes
A sudden event shook the entire Eastern Kingdom continent: the Kingdom of Alterac, which the world thought was about to be annexed by Lordaeron, did not play its cards according to the routine and openly accused Lordaeron of its egregious annexation!
King Terenus was furious, the lord of Davar Presto, who was considered the star of the northern human nobility, the dark horse of the dark horses, the new prince of Lordaeron. After taking control of the kingdom of Alterac, he openly tore up the secret contract with Lordaeron!
The kingdom of Alterac declared absolute neutrality and sought the support of Dalaran. At the same time, they demanded that Lordaeron return the Hillsbrad Hills that had been annexed, and for a time the Northern Alliance was on the brink of civil war.
It seems that turmoil will always come in pairs, and disasters will not go alone. The orcs in the orc shelter in the hills of Hillsbride also began to get agitated, and they were instigated by a mysterious organization during this time, and some of the shelters even fell into orc strongholds. And in the eastern part of the Hillsbrad Hills, in that castle of human nobility called Blackmore, an undercurrent is also surging.
Thrall, who had grown into a sturdy young orc, was fed up with the slave life, and although Blackmore gave him good food and drink, beatings and insults were common. But there were still two rays of light in his heart: on the other side of the sea, there was a home for orcs, a new tribe, and he had to go there, and the second was one of Blackmore's mistresses, Talesha. This kind human woman was like a light shining into his heart, and he was the only time he was so grateful and respectful of a human being.
When Thrall was punished and beaten, or starved, Taresa would secretly bring a hot meatloaf or a large piece of bread to Sal in her arms. Her chest was burned, but her eyes were still bright, and Thrall didn't see any disdain or disgust in her eyes for being an orc.
During the brief exchange, Sal also learns that Taresa is forced to become Blackmore's mistress, otherwise her family will be subjected to all kinds of harassment and danger.
So Thrall confided in her his deepest secret plan: he was going to escape!
Taresa didn't hesitate at all, she was willing to help the orc. In her eyes, this orc was countless times better than those filthy and hypocritical human nobles, and he was honest and upright. It's not that the orcs are murderous and hateful devils, as others say.
Perhaps it was Thrall's faith that moved the gods, and in the middle of the night, a small group of mysterious intruders infiltrated Thrall's cell.
Thrall was alert, and he jerked to his feet, looking warily at the slender figures outside the iron gate. There was a slight thud, and the iron door was opened by someone outside.
"Is this Gouyle?the son of the frostwolf chief?" Sylvanas pursed his lips, glancing at the vigilant green-skinned orc in front of him.
The other, and the thickest figure in the team, took a few steps ahead, lifted the hood on his head, and the face of a brown-skinned orc caught Thrall's eyes.
"That's right, this is Gouyle. The only son of my old friend Durotan. Grom's blood-red eyes stared at Thrall, grinning wide.
Thrall was very smart, and he immediately realized that the caller had no ill intentions, but had heard a lot of information from their simple conversation.
"You are from a new tribe? Do you know my father?"
"The New Tribe... Hehe, so to speak. That's right, I do know your father, Durontan, I'm the patriarch of the Warsong clan, and Grom Hellroar. Grom said, pulling the blood roar out from behind him and swinging it a few times.
Sal was thrilled when he heard this, he was finally going to be saved, but then he thought of something and was stunned for a moment.
"Hell roars? You were not in that war ... I learned about it when I studied before. You... ”
"I'm dead, so to speak. But now is not a good time for small talk, let's go first, and I'll tell you more about it when we get back to the south. ”
"There are other compatriots! They are being held in several shelters nearby, can we... Thrall ran out, looking for the right armor and said eagerly.
"Don't worry, orc brother, we're not the only ones here. Queen Xi teased Thrall, who found out that only Grom was an orc, and the others were female elves!
Although full of doubts, Sal has these things in mind at the moment, and the most important thing is to escape for now.
Meanwhile, the human guards in the shelters throughout the Hillsbrad Hills were all shot and their bodies lay on the ground.
Then they swarmed out, and the confused orc prisoners were surprised to see an orc standing in front of them. Without exception, they were all famous people who died in the war that year, but at the moment they were looking at them vividly. Then, at the same time, a resurrected orc celebrity took in the orc prisoners and then quickly left with them.
Thrall and the group that rescued him rebelled and headed for Talummere, the second largest human town in the Hillsbrad Hills.
There, Talesa was waiting for him.
He wants to rescue Taresa and take her and her family with him.
Hillsbrad Hills, Southsea Town.
Because the operation to liberate the orcs was very secretive, it did not alarm the humans here.
In the largest tavern in town, five paladins gathered around a table, looking wearily at a light crystal floating silently on the table.
"Finally the purification has been successful... I'm going to use this Light Crystal to build a peerless weapon that will sweep away all evil and squalor from the world!" Mograine said excitedly to his four companions.
"Not bad, so what name do you want to give it?" said Tirio Fordin, smiling equally happily, looking at his friend.
Mograine pondered when he heard this, this crystal was born from darkness, and now purified can bring light to the world. It is like a nirvana in the ashes, reborn as a noble being. Any evil and darkness will bow down before it and turn to ashes!
"It... It's going to be a two-handed sword!" Mograini decided, his heart pounding.
"I will use it to spread the virtues of the Paladins and the mercy of the Light!"
"It will sweep away all evil in the world and reduce them to ashes!"
"Its name, I decided to call it ... Mograini paused, as if making a final decision.
"Ember Bringer!"
