Compared to the Alanca Peaks, the nights in the Teroka Forest are darker and darker. The lush foliage obscured almost all light, and the insects chirped and the beasts roared in their ears, noisy and eerie.

Smack!

An oval-shaped altar sits in a cleared clearing, and a brazier is set up with branches on all sides, and the blazing flames barely dispel the shadows around it. At the edge of the light range, countless scarlet rays converged in the center, pale and yellowish fangs shimmering in the firelight. The thick smell of sweat mixed with blood made the entire area dull because of it.

It's orcs, orcs everywhere!

In front of them, a shaman dressed in animal bones walked slowly onto the altar, followed by two assistants dragging a draenei bound with flowers.

Ignoring Draenei's struggles, two assistants secured his limbs to the altar and retreated with great respect. The shaman muttered something under his breath, and in the desperate gaze of the Draenei civilians, he raised the bone dagger in his hand.

Poof!

In a wave of cheers, the dagger plunged deep into Draenei's heart, and the deep blue blood could not stop flowing, and soon filled the altar with intricate and strange notches. The spilled blood stuck to the edge of the altar and continued downward, sending the breath of blood into everyone's nostrils. At the same time, Delaney, who was still struggling, completely lost his movement.

"It is unforgivable that they should treat our fellow citizens like this!" such an evil and immoral ritual succeeded in igniting Marad's anger, and the hammer of Naru in his hand trembled like a beast about to break free.

However, Malrad was not a reckless man, and despite his anger, he resisted his impulses.

The Blade Wind Clan is a relatively weak small clan among the orcs, and it is also the Shadow Moon Clan that is attached to Nao Zu on weekdays to develop to this day. If you act recklessly, it is very likely that the conflict will escalate, and once you clash with the Shadow Moon Clan, one of the most powerful orcs, a tragic war may be inevitable.

This is what the prophets and archbishops do not want to see.

Moreover, don't look at the hundreds of orcs, women, children, and children below, most of them, orcs are nomads, hunting, fighting is almost every orc's compulsory course for growth, and years of eating and sleeping in the open have greatly exercised their physique and ability. In other words, once Malad attacked, he and his team of thirty men would be besieged by hundreds of orcs.

When the time comes, let alone saving people, I'm afraid I'll even get into it.

"Isn't the liaison work done yet?" Trying to resist watching such a brutal image, Malrad turned his head and whispered a roar at several Draenei mages behind him.

"I'm sorry, but within a radius of a few kilometers, the flow of magic has become very stagnant, and I'm afraid it will take some work to get in touch with Shattrath. An older scholar wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained with a slight flustery. Obviously, he was still so clumsy when his compatriots were suffering, and his emotions gradually became agitated.

"Marlad, they can't be blamed for that. On the side, Lanloth, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, "The nearby elemental spirits are obviously active, it seems that these orcs are sacrificing your people to the elements in order to regain the protection of the elemental spirits. ”

"How do you know?"

Lanlos raised his arm, only to see a white streamer visible to the naked eye constantly intertwining with his fingertips: "Blessing to the Raven Man, I know a little bit about the wind element. ”

The Draenei are not only strong in terms of their physique, but also in their intelligence.

"You mean, the orcs think that the draenei are the murderers who caused the elemental turmoil?" Combined with the previous information, Marrad quickly cleared his mind, "But why? except for the occasional material trade with the orcs, we have always been well water and not river water, how can they slander us like this without any evidence!"

"It's not a matter of evidence......" Unable to respond to the garrison, who was visibly affected by his anger, Lanlos muttered something in a low voice, silently surveying everything below with an unpredictable expression.

The sacrificial rite had apparently been going on for some time, and the grass beneath the altar was littered with the corpses of Draenei who had dried their blood. Not only was he angry, but even the innate and powerful magical aura carried by the blessing of Argus vanished, as if he had been dead for many years.

What's even more tragic is that even the soul has been consumed......

'Watching' the white streamer that surged from Draenei's corpse was torn apart by an invisible force, and from such a distance, Lanlos seemed to feel the sharp pain in his soul.

Elemental spirits, who are generally unable to manifest entities, do not have the ability to think, and do not consider the moral issues of good and evil in the face of orc shamanic sacrifices. The blood and soul of the Draenei possess a powerful magical power that is enough to be the best nourishment to attract them.

And this performance deepened the trust of these orcs in Guldan's rhetoric.

In their opinion, isn't the reason why the elements are so excited and happy is that they praise themselves precisely because the 'criminals' can be brought to justice?

If it goes on like this, it's terrible......

Looking up at the sky, feeling the increasingly dense elemental aura around him, Lanlos also felt a deep sense of unease.

Elemental and arcane are two distinct energies, the latter deriving from the elemental forms that form, create, and stabilize order, while the former is the basic component of the material plane.

Air, fire, water, and earth are the four basic elements, and shamanic culture has long pursued the harmonious coexistence of the elements and turned them into their own use. Shamans believe in animism, and they believe that the soul is the fifth element that makes up the physical plane. Through soul communication, they are able to gain powerful mystical powers with the permission of the elements, while also being able to converse face-to-face with their dead ancestors.

Of course, the premise is that the soul of the ancestor can be so strong that it will not dissipate on its own, and this condition has become common because of the existence of the holy mountain Voshugu.

In the same way, in addition to the shaman actively communicating with the elements, the elements can also communicate with the shaman. With such a large number of elemental spirits gathered nearby, it may not be long before the orc shaman discovers the traces of his group casting arcane arts.

However, as the saying goes, man is not as good as heaven, and just as Lanlos was about to inform Marrad of his discovery, a Draenei woman was dragged out of her cage.

————————————————

Looking at the excited orcs outside the cage, Iril clasped his hands on his knees and curled up in a corner in panic. When she was first caught, she and the rest of the Draenei begged for her release, but now, she didn't want to leave the cage at all.

Because all the draenei who were dragged out were under their noses, pulling out their hearts alive and bleeding until they died!

The visual shock almost drove her crazy, and as an apprentice, she was already frightened by such a cruel act, and could only close her eyes and pray for the protection of the Holy Light. At the same time, she is more or less extravagant in her heart, hoping that the next person to be dragged out will not be herself.

No, such an unclean thought, how can I ......

In fact, not only her, but the survivors clustered around this corner may have this intention. Seeing these aliens huddle in the corner in panic, the orcs outside the cage laughed even louder.

But the shrill laughter soon ended.

The corpse on the altar was thrown down like garbage, and the two guards walked out of the cage and scanned the Draenei prisoners with the eyes of a pig and a sheep.

Well, who's next?

Squeak –

The iron door was violently opened, the hinges beeled sharply, and the Draenei prisoners screamed in panic as they squeezed deeper into the corner. Engrossed in prayer, Irel was accidentally pushed out of the crowd.

Looking at the hideous orc face that poked into the iron cage, her face was filled with despair.

The blood-soaked arm slowly stretched out, and it was about to grab Iriel's body when a thin figure suddenly pounced forward.

"Ahh

"Rylan ......" looked at the woman who stepped forward in front of her, and Iriel's eyes gradually brightened.

However, Rylan's back to her figure trembled violently, and Irel clearly felt her fear and unease.

It's no wonder that although Leyland has a lot of combat experience, it was all hunting, and now that so many compatriots have been subjected to horrific treatment, even she still can't keep her composure. However, the courage to stand up in such a situation more or less gave hope to Irel and the other Delaney.

But if you do that, Ryland will ......

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Irel seemed to have made up her mind, and finally stabilized her mind and wanted to step forward, but a loud slap made her stop her movements.

Syllable!

Another orc guard suddenly rushed into the cage and slapped Leyland to the ground: "Damn pigs, it's your honor to please the elemental spirits!"

With that, the guards grabbed her by the horns and dragged her out of the cage as rudely as an animal, despite the screams and struggles of the other.

Bang dang!

The reclosing of the door completely dispelled Iriel's thoughts, and her face was filled with remorse and pain as she watched Leyland, who had been used as her next sacrifice in her place, fade away.

If, if not for being too timid and cowardly...... Light, if you can hear my prayers, help us......
