82 Murray's decision
The gate was opened, but the crowd outside did not enter, and the orcs and minotaurs stood still waiting for Marlowe's arrival.
"Go ahead and talk to them. James said calmly.
Marlowe smiled gratefully at the other and walked out of the gate, followed by three orcs who had taken off their cloaks.
Standing by the door, Ethan looked at the three tall and burly orcs in surprise, and he realized that he had been with these savage orcs for so long.
"Holy Light forbid, they didn't eat me!" Ethan quickly prayed to the heavens, and the other humans in the station did the same, although they didn't know what was going on, but they didn't have doubts about James, a high-ranking paladin.
Seeing Marlowe walk in front of him, Lei Jie, who had a simple expression on his face, slammed his fist on his chest and said, "Chief, I brought everyone back." ”
However, the young chief ignored him, and just stared at the crowd behind him.
Lei Jie knew that his silent disappearance had worried everyone, so he explained with some trepidation: "Chief, I was knocked unconscious by my father and brother at that time, so I didn't have time to inform everyone, you know, I ......"
Marlowe interrupted the other party's explanation and smiled: "My warrior, I don't need to explain, at least now it seems that our worries are worth it, shouldn't you introduce me to everyone?"
"Oh, yes. Ledger immediately stepped out of the way so Marlowe could see the man behind him.
"Murray Whitehoof, the leader of the Whitehoof tribe who participated in the Battle of the Winter. The minotaur behind Lei Jie saluted.
Marlowe also returned the salute solemnly and seriously, saying, "Marlo Vivia Warcry Durotan, the current chief of the Warcry Tribe. ”
The attitude of both sides is neither humble nor arrogant. Murray hadn't decided to swear allegiance to Marlowe, but he didn't have a weapon to ask Marlowe why he had annexed his tribe, and apparently Regier had told him what had happened to the tribe.
The lack of a fight bodes well, and at least proves that Murray was considering whether the tribesmen were making the right decision.
"Are you Tunak's son?" asked Murray, looking down.
The height of the minotaur is generally more than two and a half meters, Lei Jie's father is even more terrifying, he is already close to three meters, and Marlowe thinks that he is not short, but in front of Murray, he can only tilt his head and talk to each other.
"Yes. Marlowe was not intimidated by the other party's momentum, he looked directly into the other party's eyes and said.
"Yes, Tunak has a good son. Murray glared at the bull's eye but didn't deter the other party, and couldn't help but nod in praise, as for whether the other party was a half-breed or not, he didn't care. "I think we need to talk to each other. ”
That's exactly what I mean. ”
Murray glanced at the wooden wall not far away, on which stood the high-ranking paladin who made him a little jealous, but he didn't plan to change places. Since Regjay says that humans are willing to help, let's see if the other party can really tolerate their swaggering conversations in front of them.
With a bang, the one-meter-five-long, two-arm-thick torch in Murray's hand was easily inserted into the ground by him, and then he sat cross-legged on the ground. The other minotaurs and orcs surrounded the two men in the middle, guarding against a possible human attack at any moment.
"Alright, now let's talk. Murray said, placing the thick totem poles on his legs. "Rejay has told me everything, although the elders of the clan have sworn allegiance to you, I have not agreed, you must give me a reason to convince me. ”
Marlowe looked at Ray Jay, who sat on the side with a smile on his face. After thinking about it for a while, Marlowe took out a wooden locket, opened the lid of the box, and a black stone tablet the size of a gold coin appeared in front of Murray, only to see that the stone tablet was carved with hideous patterns and strange words.
Murray felt the evil power carried in the stone tablets with just one glance, which made him very uneasy.
"What is this?" The Minotaur was a native inhabitant of the steppes and had not experienced the suffering of orcs, so he knew nothing about it.
Marlowe quickly closed the lid, then put the box with him, and then said: "This is a sacrificial stone, through which anyone can sacrifice their soul to the demon king Sargeras, and thus become a demon with incomparably powerful powers, I think you must have heard the name Sargeras." ”
"I'm not an orc, but I know your history. Where did this thing come from?" asked Murray, frowning.
Although he had sent the traitor Barrow to hell, Marlowe still hated this man because he had killed too many of his fellow tribesmen. Marlowe gritted his teeth and said, "A traitor who took refuge in the Redskin Orc, who sacrificed himself to Sargeras after his identity was revealed, and then raised the butcher's knife to his tribesmen, so we killed him. ”
Murray understood what Marlowe meant, and although Marlowe wasn't sure it came from the red-skinned orcs, the corrupt and depraved ones couldn't get away with it.
"Why didn't you ruin it?"
"I've tried a lot of things, but it didn't work, the shaman of the tribe said that only the hell volcano of Sattar can destroy it, Sattar is the territory of Sattath, and we can't go there at will. ”
Marlowe didn't want to take this dangerous thing with him, but after finding out that he couldn't destroy the sacrificial stone, he had to take it with him, and he didn't feel safe about handing it over to others, and other people would become short-tempered and irritable when they held it, but he seemed to have a mysterious power that could suppress the evil power above.
Because Ray didn't take part in the battle in Warcry Town, he didn't tell Murray about Barrow.
Now that Murray knew that Marlowe's decision to rebel against the Redskin Orcs was not only due to the brutality of the Great Chief, not only to give the tribesmen a stable living environment, but also to rescue his father, the sacrificial stone had proved that a great storm was brewing on the grasslands, and that this storm could destroy everyone on the grasslands.
"Are humans trustworthy?" asked Murray, with a solemn expression.
"Yes, their prince is my brother, and has helped us resist the wolf cavalry of the red-skinned orcs at the Eagle's Beak Pass. ”
Murray decided not to hesitate any longer, he stood up with the totem pole and said to the crowd around him, "I have decided to join the Warcry Tribe, and those who don't want to stay can leave now." ”
After he finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee in front of Marlowe, and the minotaurs around him knelt down and saluted like Murray, and most of the remaining orcs were old people and children, almost all of them were abandoned by their own tribes, if it weren't for Murray's rescue, they would have starved to death in the wilderness, and when they saw Murray's decision, they also knelt down.
Seeing this, Marlowe finally breathed a sigh of relief, and this mission to Victor Province had finally been completed.
