Chapter 20: Kargas Blade Fist
The red hills stretch as far as the eye can see, the yellow sand flies, and there is not a trace of life here.
Naintus: "My lord, where is this desperate place, and why is it so desolate?"
"This is the home of the orcs, the planet Draenor. Illidan looked into the distance, "Through Guldan's memory, this should have been a beautiful land, but ...... Their gods, the Burning Legion, betrayed them, and everything was shattered. ”
"Are we going to settle down in this desolate place?"
"Yes, but it's not for nothing, and from the memory of the skull, it's not far from here a well-watered place for your family to live. But before you can find that place, you will have to endure the dry climate. ”
"But my lord, there are still some of our compatriots who have stayed on the former continent, and I hope they can come with them. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I've told the mages in the army about the code to open the portal, and you can take them through the portal. ”
"Thank you, sir!"
"Naintus, you are a capable man, but now we have to separate for a moment, and you take the family west to find the water source. ”
"Won't you go with us?"
"I'm going to have to scout this area first, and since I'm bringing you here, I'm going to find all kinds of threats to keep you safe. ”
With that, he spread his wings and jumped down from this high ground.
Seeing that the leader was missing, Naintus gathered his team and said, "Let's do as the eldest brother says, and find shelter first." ”
Illidan's skull suddenly glowed red, and a strong consciousness entered his mind like a conversation close at hand.
"Ahh Demon Elf, I can't interfere with your consciousness anymore, but I'm glad you can bring me back. "The skull flashed and it seemed really happy.
"I want to thank you for the power you have given me, but now that I have offended Sargeras's men, they will not let me go, so I came here through your subconscious. Illidan said.
"Unfortunately, this place is a world away from the memories I pass on to you. ”
"But I don't have a choice, there is no place for me in Azeroth. ”
"This planet has been leveled by the Burning Legion, and it's a shame that Azeroth hasn't become like this. ”
"Well, let's work together and tell me how to establish myself here, and I'll help you find a new soul lodge for you to regenerate. ”
"Really? I'm willing to cooperate. You can go to an old friend of mine who is entrenched in the Hellfire Fortress named Kargas Bladefist, and now he is supposed to be an orc lord, and with his support, the Hellfire Peninsula can become our domain. ”
Illidan put away his skull and walked on the hot sand as he remembered.
However, it wasn't entirely lifeless, and it didn't take long for him to find the shadows of demons everywhere, and all kinds of dreadlords, hellfires, female succubi, and demon engineers were entrenched here, as if they were carrying out some ulterior plans. Not far from here is a dark portal, a portal created by a historical orc leader named Neozu, from which demons continue to pour out.
However, when they met Illidan, they turned a deaf ear, perhaps mistaking him for their own kind, knowing that they had long been accustomed to the fact that the region was not a threat.
Ignoring them, Illidan continued as planned, but questions grew in his mind about how the orcs would survive if it was all taken over by the Burning Legion.
He quickly got used to the dry air, and gradually enjoyed the feeling of the hot ground, and his spirits were more energetic, so he quickened his pace.
After climbing several hills, he finally found a complex of traditional orc buildings, located in the middle of a sunken valley, with several suspension bridges scattered in the middle of the buildings, connecting to the high ground above the valley floor. There was a large army of blood-red, well-armed orcs deployed around it.
"Why are these orcs red, are they cursed?" Illidan asked, hiding behind a mound and picking up the skull.
"Hahahaha! You just got it wrong, the green-skinned orcs of Azeroth are cursed, the true color of the orcs should be red, and here are the purest orcs. ”
"But I always felt that something was wrong, could it be that the orcs and the Burning Army were united?"
"I don't rule out this possibility, this plan is a bit risky. ”
"It's a risk worth taking. Illidan made up his mind and walked out.
"Stop, Demon, this area is under the rule of Lord Kargas, and your demon's territory is over there. An orc soldier stopped him, but did not show much hostility, as if only to remind him that he had gone to the wrong door.
"I want to see your leader, Kargas Bladefist. ”
"Who sent you?"
"It's Gul'dan. ”
"What do you say, who is Gul'dan?"
"No, you heard me wrong, it's Kilgardan. ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm just asking for a routine inquiry, so please do that. ”
The blood-red orc stopped his unstoppable attitude, bowed obediently, and then walked ahead to lead him forward.
As expected, it's all under the rule of the Burning Legion, but it will take a moment to see what the orc leader is. Illidan thought.
Walking through section after section of spiky watchtowers, the orc guards led him to a tall building.
The orc soldiers here were taller than the outer ones, and they wore heavy black metal armor, patrolling back and forth, and the orcs all glanced at this strange visitor, but soon returned to their posts and adhered to discipline. Continue patrolling.
There was also a group of naked orcs fighting in the sunken dirt pit, although they were bare-handed, as if they were on a real battlefield, without mercy, and the surrounding orcs were roaring.
Illidan saw that the orcs here were a little strange, although the natural color of the orcs was red, but the orcs here were a little unusually red, a bit like raging demons, and what they saw from their eyes was endless madness. Even more strange was the fact that the outer layer of each orc's left hand was protected by a cylinder, and then a scimitar was extended from it.
"Their colors are a little different from ours, but you don't have to be surprised by their left hand. Kargas once lost his left hand in a battle, which he later replaced with a scimitar gauntlet. His men, in order to declare their loyalty to him, also cut off their left hand and replaced it with a scimitar. Gul'dan said to Illidan through consciousness.
"It's crazy, I'm a little desperate to meet this crazy orc. ”
