Volume VI Ice and Fire 88 The Destruction of Theramore
Bane Bloodhoof must be liquidated.
Even if he defected to the Alliance now, it would be useless to let the Alliance's troops overturn Firas and garrison directly in Mogaure. It's not the first time he's betrayed his big chief, there's only zero and countless times this kind of thing, so it's a certain thing that this kind of person will be liquidated, but Garrosh didn't think about how to clean him up at that time.
The tribal army sent directly to the Gray Valley, and the meaning of Garrosh was very clear, occupying the land was secondary, and revenge was.
I once asked him why he hated them so much, and he told me that the orcs either didn't do it, or they wouldn't give up if they wanted to, and when they marched into the Gray Valley, the orcs had an unstable foundation and poor strength, so they suffered a lot of losses and killed a lot of people in the Battle Song Canyon, and the troops who marched into the Gray Valley in the later conflicts did not take advantage. This made him hold a fire in his heart all the time.
Another reason is the Draenei. Garrosh didn't like the Draenei, and while the Warsong Clan didn't slaughter the Draenei like the Bloodwalk and Windblades, he still had a natural contempt for a race with blue skin and cow and sheep's hooves.
This monster can create such a city, build such armor and weapons. In his heart, he was not convinced, he was surprised, so he was jealous, and then his self-esteem made him have to despise their brute force as the last stubbornness, which also led to even more hatred.
He hoped to meet the Draenei in the lands of Ashendale so that he would feel more fulfilled when defeating them. He asked the Minotaur army, especially the Minotaur Druids, to accompany him, and he wanted to see how Bane and the calves would betray him.
The battle in Ashenvale went well, and the Night Elves were quickly routed under orc fire, much to the Coalition's shock.
At that time, the Night Elves had two close allies, one was a Gilneth and the other was a Draenei, neither of whom Garrosh disliked. He knew what the Gilneys were like, and he had heard of what this human nation had done back then. So he was quite confident in this war against the Night Elves.
On the other hand, after testing the strength of the Horde Navy, he launched an attack on the northern castle south of Ratchet City and achieved a complete victory.
Having controlled the Barren Lands and Durontar's coastal sea supremacy, the Alliance was not afraid of it even if it came by boat, and he knew very well that he would wait for work. And as I said, the current coalition is not united.
Garrosh's operations were still going well, and news of victory followed, but what really made him feel inflated was when the Northrend Horde garrison accidentally got the Rainbow of Focus, an artifact that played a huge role in the battle to break through Deathwing.
The name of this thing says what it does, focusing, gathering energy, and it can also be called an energy amplifier or an energy aggregator. In the battle against Deathwing, it was this thing that allowed the Dragon's Soul to control Thrall's energy, and it was the same thing that shot that energy far enough to shoot through the armor on Deathwing's body.
Because it was the creation of a dragon, it was a large thing, and when the magical guardian dragons transferred it to the magic hub of the blue dragons, the Eye of Eternity, the tribe discovered them and successfully intercepted it.
Everyone was shocked when this thing was brought back to Orgrimmar, including me, and I could see how terrifying the power of this thing was, so in order to make it work for us, all orcs, shamans, warlocks, and mages were all working on it for the next few days.
We also wanted to unleash the energy that pierced Deathwing, but we couldn't, the energy inside was completely different from the spells of the Shamans and Warlocks. Only orc magicians who study human magic can stir up the energy in it, but there are too few people like Orgrimmar. So Garrosh transferred the magic practitioners from the trolls' side over.
I used to trust the Darkspear Troll clan led by Woking, especially Woking. But then I found out that he couldn't, he was not the same as Garrosh, so my personal affection for him stopped there. At that time, I told Garrosh that this matter had to be carefully focused, and Garrosh still respected Woking at this time, so he chose to believe him, but this matter was still spread from him.
There are more people practicing human magic among the trolls than the orcs, and unlike other troll races, the Darkspear tribe generally dislikes the use of brute force, so there are many shamans, magicians, and even druids in their clan.
Trolls are students after all, and they have a good grasp of fire and frost magic, but arcane magic is far behind. It was also in this context that I offered to have Garrosh summon the Forsaken.
Feelings for the Forsaken are complicated, and Garrosh saw the battle at the Gate of Damnation, and he also knew what would happen to the resurrected from the dead. He needed the strength of the Forsaken, but in his heart he still rated the race as dark, insidious, conspiratorial, and untrustworthy.
But in the current situation, he can only choose the Forsaken, after all, the magicians in the Forsaken were all living people before.
Their arrival brought the matter to an immediate end, and when the Rainbow of Focus bombarded a piece of Orgrimmar's house, Garrosh's face was filled with satisfaction and longing.
However, the matter was also known to the Coalition, which strongly opposed the Horde's actions and claimed that such actions would lead to serious consequences. But what's the use of their opposition? Opposition without strength is the most useless.
How? What why?
Why is the tribe so smooth?
You forgot? The power of the guardian dragon was depleted in the battle against Deathwing. They have lost almost all their strength, and in this case it is a problem for them to protect themselves, how much strength can they resist?
The Alliance realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, especially after the Rainbow of Focus was successfully tested, and the Alliance, especially Dalaran, immediately protested against the Horde. But as I said, such protests were as useless as farting, so Garrosh not only ignored them, but decided to punish them.
In Kalimdor, in addition to the two human settlements, there is also the fortress of Lady Gianna, one of the leaders of Dalaran, Theramore.
Although this island cannot threaten the Barren Lands and Durotal, the Tribal Navy must pass through it to continue south, and it is located in the center of Kalimdor, and it is the best place for ships from the Eastern Kingdoms to dock.
Garrosh said then destroy it.
Not to occupy, but to destroy. He wanted to blow up Gianna together.
The matter was leaked again, and this was also done by Garrosh on purpose. He deliberately leaked the news that he was going to attack Theramore. Dalaran reacted immediately, and not only Gianna herself, but also your archmage Ronin himself came here.
We all know who leaked this out, and the tribe except Bane. Bloodhoof doesn't have a good relationship with Gianna.
Before the tribe was fully ready to blow up Theramore, I took a trip to Theramore on a Wyvern, and I told the people there the exact news.
No, of course I'm not trying to save them, I'm going to see if she's still around.
Since you are a man of Dalaran, you must have heard of a woman named Egwen.
Yes, I'm here to remind her that I'll take her away if I can, and I don't want anyone else.
Yes, she died too.
Sadness? Why should I be grieved? This is her own decision, I do not support or oppose it, and I respect her choice.
Ha! Of course she knew I was leaving the Alliance, but I wasn't a betrayal. You have to figure this out.
What do you mean? When did I betray the Alliance? I don't call this betrayal. The end result of the Alliance and the Horde is the same with me, how can I be a betrayal?
The day I got back to Ratchet City, Garrosh set off with Bane Bloodhoof, Woking, and many other tribal leaders, and I remember what the weather was like the day we set off, and it was a fine day, and there was not a single cloud in the sky. The breeze made me feel like it was the most comfortable I've ever felt here, so I was in a good mood. After the airship lifted off, the Horde's warships also sailed out of the harbor of Ratchet City, while the warships from Durontar waited to meet in the distance. The air cavalry patrolled the air to ensure early detection of the enemy.
It wasn't very far from Ratchet City to Theramore, and the warship was a little slower, but the wind was smooth that day, and the airship came to the waters of Theramore the next day. We were on another ship, Bain. Bloodhoof also stood beside us, and Garrosh looked at the boat below and said, "I've given them time to escape." ”
He's actually quite pitiful.
I glanced at Bane, and there was no expression on this guy's ugly cow face, and their faces didn't have enough muscle to produce any expression. But I saw Bane's eyes, and his eyes don't lie. I raised my binoculars to observe the city, and by this time the people of the city had fallen into confusion, and I saw a familiar figure in the crowd, and she did not leave. In fact, there was a chance for her to leave if she wanted to leave at that time.
When Garrosh had shown enough of his naval and air prowess before choosing to drop the bomb, it took a long time for them magicians to escape, but they didn't do it in the end. When the attack ship was fully prepared, Garrosh gave the order to attack.
At that time, in order to cover the whole island as much as possible with the shock wave, the ship flew much higher than us, and after our sightseeing boat sailed out of the attack range, I suddenly felt the wind growing stronger while standing on the deck.
Looking up at the ship overhead, you can see that clouds and mist began to form around the ship, and then the clouds completely surrounded the ship, and soon after the huge lightning surrounded the ship, the clouds disappeared all at once. Immediately afterward, a huge ball of light was seen under the ship.
After a moment of gathering of light, a beam of light shot down.
Following that light, I looked at the fortress on the island of Seramo below, and saw that there was a layer of magic cover on the outside of the fortress at this time, which was the same as when we attacked Dalaran.
But the light clearly pierced the hood, like a sword inserted into the dough.
The perimeter of the magic barrier was not destroyed, but the upper layer should have been pierced. Then the huge orb was thrown down. A few seconds later, the ball of light smashed into the shattered magic barrier, and with a loud pop, I saw the magic barrier shatter, it didn't look like a soap bubble bursting, it wasn't like a fireworks burst, that scene ...... I can't find the words to describe it at this point. The burst was followed by a violent cloud of dust and smoke, which lifted into the air, and the first shockwave caused all the ships and air cavalry in the air to briefly lose their balance.
It took a long time for the dust to dissipate, leaving only a large pit below, which the rushing sea scrambled to fill in the gap. Garrosh was satisfied, and he clapped his hands and laughed. No one among the other leaders applauded except the orcs, but he glanced at all of them with satisfaction, and the crowd stared down with either solemn or blank faces. They didn't dare to look at Garrosh. Instead of asking Bane and the others why they didn't applaud, he asked me. I told him that I would do it when Stormwind was in ruins.
Heh, I thought about recycling it to see if it still existed, and if it did, I considered using it to blow up Stormwind, but I found out I couldn't find it. Now that I don't need it anymore, I have a better way, I'll keep Stormwind and watch it fall apart, be buried by weeds, and finally completely disappear into the dust of history. What I have is time.
That's right...... Do you know why Gianna is still alive after so many people are dead?
