Volume 5 The Return of the King 125 Woking
I'm not one of those people who do something for someone else and keep it in mind, and I didn't really think about asking them to reciprocate anything when I did those things for them, at least it was very simple.
However, this situation now reminds me of the past, and a strange thought came to my mind.
I remember a question that said...... When you encounter a problem that is difficult to solve, do you go to the people you have helped or the people who have helped you?
I know the answer to this question, but now I don't really want to recall it.
I'm afraid of being disappointed.
I frowned and looked at the guy in front of me, then shook my head slightly. Suddenly he looked at me in surprise: "Are you Bill?" ”
"I remember mentioning my name to you when I saw you that day."
He shook his head incredulously, "Oh my God! Is it really you? ”
"You've forgotten what I look like." I snorted.
"Your physiognomy has changed...... Somewhat...... Big! He got up from his seat.
"Really? Your appearance has also changed a lot. I said.
"Why didn't you stop me that day?"
"I thought you'd recognize me."
He shook his head a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, brother! It was my mistake! As he spoke, he hurriedly called for the servants who were by the side to bring me food and drink. I glanced at the two minotaurs beside me, and their faces were even more surprised.
"How do you ...... Got here? He poured me a glass of wine and handed it to me.
"I ...... Now the Forsaken. I said.
He looked at me, blinked, and said in disbelief, "You...... Are you dead? ”
I nodded, "Yes." ”
He looked at me for a moment, "What about in the Valley of Thorns?" ”
"I was alive then." I say.
"When are you...... Became like this? ”
"Before the Burning Legion invaded here." I say.
"You say...... Over here? ”
"I was there when you joined forces with the Night Elves against the Burning Legion."
"What?" He cried out in surprise. His state at this time did not seem to be very ...... from the impression of the chief's majestic and undisturbed steadiness Accord with.
"They controlled me." I said, "So I went to war." ”
"I ...... I thought those humans from last time were ......"
"That's right, that's it, I'm there too." I nodded. "Isn't it hard to imagine?" I smiled at the incredulous look on his face, "I didn't expect to see you again in this situation one day." ”
"Then you ...... now"
"I'm free, the Burning Legion has failed, and the leader of the undead scourge who controls us can no longer control us." I said, "Now I am free, and I have come to ask for help on behalf of the free dead." ”
Woking suddenly realized. "But I didn't hear from Sal about it."
"He didn't talk to you about it?"
"Yes." He said.
I looked at the two minotaurs behind me, who were also confused.
"Saar refused to help us." I say.
"What difficulties are you experiencing?"
"The Scourge is back, we are losing the homes and lands we depend on, and the only remaining forsaken are dying."
He frowned, "Sal has made it clear that he doesn't want to help you?" ”
"That's pretty much it." I said, "I went to him that day and waited at the door, but I waited all day and didn't see him." ”
"That's ......," he muttered, "you need ...... Army? ”
"No, not for now, but the situation is getting more and more dangerous, and our leader needs to be ready for the future."
He nodded, "That means you're not going to start a military operation right now, are you?" ”
"Yes, we don't want to make that kind of unnecessary sacrifice, but we don't want to be lambs to the slaughter when we need to fight." I say.
He nodded.
"Are there any difficulties on this side now?" I asked.
"What...... Difficulty? ”
"I mean, what's going on on the tribe's side or ...... Is it troublesome that you don't want to ally with us? ”
"It's a bit troublesome, but the orc race will take revenge, and the hatred between you humans and them is not a day or two, and you should know that there was a lot of unpleasantness some time ago, so the orcs are full of resistance to you like this, and there are some internal problems here."
"What is an internal problem?"
"In addition to humans, orcs have to face harpies, boar men, and centaurs." He said and looked at the two minotaurs behind me, "Master Lin Feng should know very well what I'm talking about. ”
"It's not calm on the continent right now." He said: "There is a reason why the orcs are reluctant to lend a helping hand to you who are far away in this situation. ”
"We don't need your troops for the time being."
"But once the alliance is formed...... It's only a matter of time before you send troops, and now the strength of the tribe is not as strong as you think. He said. And...... Now the tribe is not monolithic, and the orcs are not a single tribe like us. He said and glanced at the minotaur behind me: "There are several tribes of the orcs, and these tribes are not so harmonious now, although Thrall is the big chief of the tribe, but the leaders of these tribes also have weight to speak. He only has the right to make suggestions on this matter, and does not have the right to make complete decisions. ”
"I thought he was up to him."
"No, of course not." Woking shook his head, "We ......" he suddenly looked up at me, "Do you remember Zarazane?" ”
"Remember!"
"He has now betrayed me, betrayed the Darkspear Clan." He said: "Now they occupy our land, and now our Darkspear tribe has been divided. ”
"How so?" I feigned surprise.
"So it's not like you can join here if you want to, there are still a lot of problems."
"But if we have problems with the Horde, we are also a force to be reckoned with, if Thrall can accept us...... This kindness will not be forgotten by those who have been forgotten. I said.
Woking nodded, the troll who had gradually entered middle age showed no signs of old age on his face. "I hope so, but ...... This thing ......"
"I implore you to support us." I said, "The leaders of the Minotaur have promised to support us in joining the tribe, and if we can get your support, I think it will be done!" ”
More than once I longed for a gift for fast-forwarding when I encountered something I didn't want to experience.
It's like listening to a story or watching a video, I don't like to fast-forward or skip it. I thought that this would ease my anxiety and reduce my sin, even if it was enough for me to endure all the discomfort in the process after this was done.
But this whimsical is only a kind of psychological comfort in my heart when I am faced with difficult things, and it is of no use except for a brief diversion of attention. My mouth was parched, and I was in a frustrated mood wandering around the yard.
Now that this is the case, I have had a long talk with Woking for half a night, and with the two minotaurs present, I have the support of the two pillars of the tribe, so I can say that there is a great possibility that this matter should be done. But from Woking's mouth, it still seemed a bit hanging.
I also know that there is hope, but I also know that there is hope, but I also know that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. But I don't want to do the slightest bit about this in case I really don't succeed. I can only win!
So this tangled emotion made me feel uneasy, but I didn't seem to have anything to do.
I even plan to talk to Sal directly, as long as I support us to join the tribe, I am willing to help him do some shady things within the tribe. Whether it's assassination or burying me alive, it's no problem. But if such words come out of my mouth, I don't know what he can think.
But now the situation is like this, Wojin has analyzed it clearly for me, now the tribe is in internal and external difficulties, and Thrall, as the chief of the big chief, is not able to act arbitrarily. Although both the trolls and the minotaurs expressed their support for joining the tribe, the initiative of discourse was still in the hands of the orcs at the core of the tribe.
Although I have been kind to the Darkspear tribe before, it is unrealistic to let Wojin fully support us at the expense of his own tribe now, and support us recklessly, after all, the orcs are also kind to the Darkspear tribe.
Now I can't calm down my emotions at all, even if I comfort myself that I am now in a hurry, how it will happen, and it will not change in the slightest because I am in a hurry to turn around, but I really can't find a better way to vent my inner anguish now.
The next morning, Woking promised me to go to Sal to talk about it, and I was even more restless after not sleeping all night, and Golm advised me to rest after a night last night, but how could I sit down? That's all I can do to get rid of my anxiety. The Minotaur also saw my uneasiness, but his reassurance was only to keep me from losing my temper in front of him.
At the end of the day, an orc came to the embassy and said that he had invited us over. Golm looked at me, and I looked at him in some surprise, but I suddenly had a hunch that it might turn out well.
When I walked into the hall again, there weren't many people in the hall, except for Woking and Thrall, there were a few tall orcs next to them, and judging by their attire and size, they were all warriors.
Seeing the two of us walk in, Sal changed his attitude from the other day and politely let me sit in the seat next to him.
"Let me introduce you." Thrall stood up, and he pointed to a tall orc beside him and said, "This is Lord Warok Sarufar, the first warrior of the tribe. Next to him was his son, Dranosh Sarufar. He pointed to an old man next to him, the same old man who had been asking me questions that day, "This is the high priest of our clan, Drektar. ”
Only then did I realize that the old man's eyeballs seemed to be a little wrong, was it a cataract?
He introduced a few more people, and the guys looked at me with a noticeably friendlier look at me than they did last time.
"I brought you here today to find out if you forsaken are in a position to join the Horde." Sal looked at me.
"What conditions can you mention?" I nodded.
"What's going on with Lordaeron now?" Sal asked me, "You tell me the truth." ”
"The kingdom of Lordaeron has died in name only."
"In name only? Or is it falling apart? Sal asked.
"It's all the same thing, and now this kingdom no longer exists." I say.
"What about the surrounding kingdoms?"
"Queen Sylvanas is resisting harassment from the Kingdom of Stormgard and is now ...... Much of the North is borderless. ”
"What about the elves?"
"The elves were wiped out by the crown prince of Lordaeron, and now the elves are in a state of collapse." I say.
Thrall looked at the orc next to him, "What do you think?" ”
At this time, the old orc tapped the ground with his cane, "Venerable Great Chief, I prayed to Mother Earth last night, and she gave me some revelation that the time for our revenge has come. ”
