We ran into two isolated scouts. So wrote the patriarch of the Broken Hand Clan. There are so many of us, it couldn't be easier to deal with them.
The other letter reads: The Blood Cave Clan proudly reports to Lord Nao Zu that we have strictly followed your lord's order and joined forces with the Mocking Skull Clan, at least doubling our strength. We believe that the Thunder King clan is looking for allies, and tomorrow we will send messengers elsewhere.
"Yes, that's it. Kilgardan smiled, "Do you see how they are united for a righteous cause? And now, they share knowledge, share resources, and fight side by side to defeat the enemy who seeks to destroy you. β
Nao Zu nodded, but something suddenly moved in his heart. It was a glorious experience to finally see a beautiful and powerful Lord, even though he resembled the Draenei whom they hated. However, it had been a long time since Naozu had seen Lukan. He realized that he missed her so much. He wondered why she hadn't come to him.
He hesitated and said, "Lukanβ"
"Lucan has fulfilled her mission, which is to guide you to me. Kilgardan soothed him. "You've met her and know she's nice and happy. Now we don't need her to be the middleman. Because I have seen what you are capable of, because I trust you and trust you to be my voice among your people. β
Naozu's heart was filled with joy again, as it had been every time before. But this time, even though Kil'Gardan's words were as reassuring and encouraging as ever, there was still a touch of tugging in his heart to still hope to talk to his partner.
When Gul'dan brought in that letter. Naozu was mitigating. The apprentice bowed and presented a piece of parchment stained with a solidified blue liquid.
"What is this?" Naozu took the piece of paper. Asked.
"Picked up from a draenei from the south. Gul'dan replied.
"Is it a squad?"
"It's a messenger. Alone, unarmed, not even a mount. That idiot came on foot. The corners of Gul'dan's mouth lifted and he giggled.
Naozu looked down at the parchment in his hand. It appears that those blue marks are the blood of the Messenger. What an idiot. What was it that made him come alone, unarmed, and walk to the territory of the Shadowmoon Clan?
He carefully opened the letter so as not to tear it up. He scanned the text quickly. As his brown eyes scanned the letter, the room was suddenly flooded with light. Two shamans prostrate on the ground at the same time.
"Say it aloud, Lord Naozu. Kil'gardan's mellow voice rang out. "Let me and your faithful apprentice hear it. β
"Yes, please read it, master. Gul'dan said eagerly.
He read it. So, since the first conversation with the beloved Lucan. For the first time, Naozu felt suspicion.
Greetings to Naozu, the chief shaman of the Shadowmoon Clan: Draenei's prophet Viren.
Recently, many of our people have been attacked by orcs. I don't understand why. For many generations, your people and mine have coexisted in peace and mutual tolerance, each taking what he wants. We've never raised a weapon against an orc, and we've saved the lives of two young orcs who were inadvertently in danger.
"Ah," Gul'dan interjected. "I remember those two boys...... Durotan, the current patriarch of the Frostwolf Clan...... and Ogrim's Hammer of Destruction. β
Naozu nodded absentmindedly to Gul'dan. After sorting out the confusion of thoughts, I continued to read the letter.
We can only consider these attacks to be a terrible misunderstanding. We hope to speak with you to ensure that no more lives, whether orcs or draenei, will suffer such a senseless sacrifice.
I know that the mountain that you call Voshugu is the sacred mountain of your people, and the place where the souls of your wise ancestors dwell. In fact, it has always been of great importance to the Draenei, but we always respect your decision to call it your holy place. But, I think, it's time for us to come together and really recognize that we're more similar than different. My people call me a prophet because there are times when I am fortunate enough to be given the wisdom to see into the future...... I want to be a good leader and lead my people to live a peaceful life. I know that you share the same hopes for your people, as well as the leaders of all your clans.
Let's meet peacefully, in a place that means so much to each other. On the third day of the fifth month, I and a small group of Delanees will go on a pilgrimage to the heart of the Holy Mountain. None of us will carry any weapons. I beg you, and anyone who wishes to come, to walk with me into the depths of the cavern of magic and power, to seek wisdom from those who are far wiser than us, and to seek answers to fill the gap between us.
Peace be upon you in the name of Light and Blessings.
Gul'dan was the first to speak. More precisely, laughing out loud.
"How bold! Lord Kil'Gardan, this opportunity must not be missed. Their leader came to the slaughter like a split-hoofed cub, unarmed, foolish enough to think we didn't even know about his evil plans. He also intended to desecrate Voshugu! he didn't even want to get near the Holy Mountain. Before his disgusting blue hooves set foot at the foot of the mountain, he was dead!"
"I love to hear that, Gul'dan. Kil'Gardan's voice rumbled, his tone as soft as watery as ever. "Naozu, your apprentice's words are wise. β
Naozu's words were stuck in his throat, and his mouth opened and closed twice...... When he opened his mouth for the third time, he finally spoke hoarsely.
"I don't deny the danger of the Draenei," he hesitated. "But...... We are not Golon. We do not kill unarmed enemies. β
"The messenger has slain," Gul'dan pointed out, "and the idiot is not armed, he doesn't even have a mount. β
"I regret it!" Nao Zu scolded, "You should catch him on the spot and bring him to me, you shouldn't kill him!"
Kilgardan was silent, a blood-red glow enveloping Naozu's body. The shaman continued, trying to find a solution to the problem.
"I will never allow Viren to defile our holy land," Neozu continued. "You don't have to worry about that, Gul'dan. But I'm not going to let him die without saying a word. Who knows, maybe we can know something from his mouth. β
"Not bad," Kilgardan said, his voice mellow and warm. "When a person is in pain, he will inevitably say everything he knows. β
Nao Zu was taken aback, but wisely did not come out. Did the Great Lord want him to torture Viren? One part of his mind was excited by the thought, and the other part was holding back. No way. He can't do this kind of thing.
"We're going to be ready for it. He assured the Great Lord and his apprentice. "There's no way he'll ever escape. β
"My lord," Guldan said slowly, "may I mention a proposal?"
"Say it. β
"The clan closest to the Holy Mountain is the Frostwolf Clan. "Why don't you send them to capture Viren and his party?" said Gul'dan, "whose leader was once entertained by the Draenei." Now, while he didn't get in our way, I don't think he led a single attack on the Delaney. Sending him to capture Viren kills two birds with one stone: not only will we be able to capture Viren, but we will also allow Durotan of the Frostwolf Clan to prove his loyalty to us. β
Naozu felt two pairs of eyes look at him, the small dark eyes of his apprentice, and the sparkling eyes of his master, Kil'Gardan. Guldan's Jianyì couldn't sound better. But why, why is he so hesitant?
He could hear his own heartbeat and feel the sweat oozing from his brow. Eventually, he spoke, and to his relief, his voice sounded firm and powerful.
"I agree. It's a brilliant plan. Bring pen and paper. I'm going to let Durotan know what his job is.
