Volume 5 The Return of the King 279 Pagans
I remember telling Varian some time ago about the Tribal Camp in Thorn Valley, and the Tribal news that Stormwind got here was also because of the Tribal Camp in Thorn Valley.
A ship docked in Treasure Bay at the southernmost tip of the Valley of Thorns, but the people who disembarked from the ship were not simple fellows. If it is a human being, especially a human pretending to be a beggar or something, it can still deceive the clever goblin, but no matter how hidden the appearance and momentum of the orc, people will pay attention to it and find out the problem.
In particular, the hidden spies in Treasure Bay are not blind, they are all the elite of MI7, these people are authorized by the king, they are doing illegal things but can send the king the latest information in the first time.
This is what they discovered, although there are often ships coming here from the Western world, and it is true that more and more orcs and minotaurs are coming here, but their whereabouts can basically be grasped, and the people on this ship left there immediately after arriving at the orc camp in the Valley of Thorns, headed north and then turned northeast, burrowed into the forest, and finally came out of the headwind canyon.
Tail followed them, and immediately after the news reached Stormwind, the Overwatch men were notified to step up patrols. In the end, I found out that the orcs came to see the reopened Dark Portal.
However, there is no answer to how the orcs know about this matter, some say that Gianna leaked the news, and some say that the orcs have actually had spies active in the human world all the time, and they discovered it by accident. It is said that the orcs who escaped from the Dark Gate found the tribe and told them the news.
But no matter how you know about it, the orcs have already started to act, which is definitely not good news. During my time in Stormwind, Varian has been very concerned about this matter, and his concern is not exaggerated, and if you don't get it right, it will have serious consequences.
After much consideration, Varian told Gianna and the Night Elves about it, and alerted the dwarves of the north.
Then the dwarven king also sent a reply, that is, don't act rashly for the time being, as long as the tribe has not made a threatening move, stay concerned and continue to strengthen the defense. Varian agreed with King Magni, but the news from the west was not very good. Although Field Marshal Gavinrad had personally supervised the battle, the battle did not go well, and General Andorov was wounded and lost an eye in the battle.
Varian approached me that day, meaning he wanted me to go west and see what was going on. It's not a few days to get here from Kalimdor, and it's been a long time since I was able to get the news back, and now it's probably getting better or better.
What I mean by this is that I don't want to go. And those big nobles in the Stormwind Kingdom, such as Duke Grayson and Duke Leoric, are idle at home, these are all generals who have been tempered by orc wars, and they will go if they want to go.
I didn't say that, but instead put it another way, reminding Varian that the nobles should do something for the kingdom, and Varian heard what I meant, so he didn't force it anymore.
But after telling Egwen about it, she didn't object to me or support my idea, she just said that she respected my decision, and she surprised me a little. But it was also because of this that I decided to accompany her back to Salamo.
She was a Guardian, and even if she was, she was a Guardian. Actually, it doesn't matter if I go or not, she didn't ask me but I was willing to do something for her.
He didn't say anything else when he said goodbye to Varian, he just told me to take care. I wish him eternal prosperity for generations to come. I don't know if I'll ever be able to come back, but every parting between people is a life-and-death parting, so it's not too much to say that, and I don't mean to be sarcastic.
In the end, he didn't ask me for this or that, but the more I did, the more willing I was to reach out. That's the kind of person I am.
Returning to Theramore, Gianna was met by a sorceress who had become a mature woman with an unconcealed look of surprise on her face. She said she didn't expect me to come along, and I scoffed at that. But this woman's attitude towards me is indeed slightly better than before.
She told us something that Varian didn't tell us, and after listening to her tell us, I felt that it was right not to say it, and that this kind of thing can only be handled by people like them, and Varian was blind when he knew. That is, there is a very serious division within the elves.
This disagreement was not something Varian could control, and he had absolutely no way to do it, not even qualified to speak. It's not that Varian is young, it's that there's a lot of pollution within the Night Elves.
The original words in Gianna's mouth are serious pollution. I'm not talking nonsense. It was also this pollution that caused the Alliance and the Horde to be unable to trust each other at all, and since they could not believe it, the joint operation was in vain.
And it came to pass that the supreme leader of the Night Elves was their priest, the High Priestess Tyrande Featherwind, and Tyrande had a good match, who could only be called a good person, and at most a lover, whose name was Malfurion Fury. Malfurion is the leader of all the Druids now, but not the absolute leader, and there are many Great Druids among the Night Elves, who are more or less dislike each other.
And among all the great druids, there's a guy named Vandal Deerhelm who doesn't quite deal with Malfurion. Malfurion's personality is not so impatient, but Vandall's personality is notoriously tyrannical.
There is no exaggeration in the word tyranny, although this man is a great druid, but because of the death of his son in the battle 10,000 years ago, his original irascible personality has become more and more irritable.
But although his temperament and personality are indeed not accepted by most Night Elves, he still occupies the position of the Great Druid with his very, very strong strength.
But this guy also has an advantage, that is, he is responsible, extremely responsible, and he is wholeheartedly dedicated to the future of the Night Elves, which no Night Elf can refute and discredit.
But it's also because of this truthfulness, extreme truthfulness, and even paranoia that makes the current situation worse and worse. That is, there is a serious pollution in the spiritual world of the druids.
There was no clue what the source of the pollution was, so he had already strongly resisted the cultivation of druid spells by foreign tribes, and directly targeted the tribes that had joined their war. Because more and more people on the tribe's side have begun to accept and learn the spells of the druids.
Gianna says that Vandal Deerhelm is a very racially conscious guy. When she first went to the Elven Territory to discuss the joint fight against demons with the Night Elves, Vandal had a very bad attitude towards her.
Had it not been for Malfurion's awakening from his sleep and supporting Gianna's idea, the war would have ended in a different way.
There are very few humans who can touch druid spells on the road of Kalimdor, but there are many orcs, especially minotaurs, who can touch druid spells. It's just that the orc's own religious orthodoxy is shamanism, and the shaman also studies the elemental spells of the shamanic sect, although the orcs inherit their original spells There are not a few orcs, but most of these people also recognize and respect many rituals and taboos of shamanism, and now it is said that there are irregular orcs in the tribe who study shadow spells, but the tribe does not deny it.
But when it comes to the Druid Spell Tribe, the orcs are not interested.
If it was just like this, then this matter might be much easier, but the tribal minotaurs not only studied shamanic spells, but also did not feel strange about druid spells at all, but many minotaurs joined the command of the druids.
Leaving aside the attitude within the Minotaurs towards the emergence of this new faith and sect, it was not only the Minotaurs who learned druid spells, but also the trolls who were very close to the Orcs joined the ranks.
The primitive religion of trolls is a voodoo sect, learning voodoo spells, and some of the trolls have followed the orcs to learn shamanic spells after they come into contact with the orcs, which is already a very bold breakthrough, and now there are trolls who have actually begun to learn the spells of the druids.
If it's just learning spells, druid spells and shamanic spells have one thing in common is that they must be out of the body, that is, to let the soul enter a special realm. Shamanism calls it the spirit realm, and the druids are meant to enter the emerald dream.
Gianna didn't know what the spirit world of the shamans was, she didn't hear about it, but the emerald dream realm of the night elves was not only the realm that ordinary night elves believed in and worshipped, but also the most sacred realm that all druid apprentices had to perceive and connect.
Druids would let their spirits, that is, their souls, swim in that world, where they meditated, practiced, experienced, felt. That world is said to be the world guarded by dragons, a spiritual world created by the god of creation exclusively for the druids.
But now something has gone terribly wrong! That is, there is a serious pollution in this world!
As a leader with a strong sense of race and territory, it is not easy for Vandal Deerhelm to reluctantly allow the Minotaur to learn druid spells. He was furious when he learned that the trolls had also learned druid spells and joined the druids. He thought it was a blasphemy against the Druids, against the Goddess of the Night, and against Elune.
He wanted to start a war to eradicate the cultivator troll druids, and even demanded that the minotaurs be driven out of the Emerald Dream Realm as well. But this matter was suppressed by Malfurion. Vandal didn't know if he was angry, but when he sensed and discovered that there was a contamination in the Emerald Dream, he immediately began to investigate.
And this investigation is only the beginning of this war, and the troubles that follow are much more than that.
