Chapter 320: The Essence of Orcs
The game-breaking ideas offered by the Sarian side are just the right solution to the biggest problem facing the Delaney people today.
Many people are blinded by looming problems and are unable to see the big picture from an objective perspective.
That's exactly what happened in Maladhar.
In addition to being overwhelmed by the many problems faced by the refugees, the Priests of Orgini, led by Maladal, had a fatal weakness.
Lack of intelligence.
The many livelihood problems faced by the refugees alone required the Oginny priests to do their best, and they simply did not spare the time to find out the latest changes in the situation in Draenor.
In order to avoid unnecessary disasters, hunting parties who go out to forage for food will try to choose familiar old paths as much as possible, and they will not be able to find any channels to obtain information when the Blood Ring Clan is destroyed and the Alliance Expeditionary Force is gone.
Maladar knew how valuable the information brought by Sarian and the others was, and changed his previous slightly indifferent and distant attitude, and warmly invited the three of them into Oakington's interior for a detailed discussion.
When the food problem was finally solved, Maladal's heart became alive and began to think about the longer term.
After following Maladal into Oakington, the three of Saljan truly experienced how difficult the Draenei were now.
As the leader of this Delaney refugee, although Maladar has not been able to rest for many days due to his busy schedule, at least no one dares to withhold his mouthful of food, but his mental state is relatively haggard.
Affected by the food crisis, most of the Delaney refugees in Oakington are yellow-skinned and thin, snuggling up against the wall in groups of three or two, muttering and praying for the protection of the Holy Light.
"Holy Light ......"
Having reached this point in the exhausted fields, these people still pin their hopes on the ethereal light.
Sarian wanted to laugh in public, but he endured it under the persuasion of the barrage.
[Under such extreme conditions, it is good to have faith, otherwise you will see the uncontrollable outbreak of malice hidden in human nature. γ
[Believe me, you don't want to see that picture.] γ
Knowing the nature of the Light, Sarian never thought that this power was so sacred that it deserved to be worshiped by so many people.
But he wasn't a Draenei who was suffering firsthand, and he couldn't empathize with them.
Under the persuasion of the barrage, Salian did not let the inner fluctuations show on his face.
As a member of Backlight Blade, Valilla has been rigorously trained in expression management since she was a child, and there are not many mood swings on her face.
Stellagosa had no such scruples, and as she made her way to the depths of Oakington's tomb, she had a look of pity on her face.
These Draenei, who are struggling on the brink of life and death, have shocked the little star, who has always been quite rich in material life.
After many tribulations, the number of Ogini priests has become very scarce.
Under Malada's introduction, the three of Saljan saw more than a dozen soul priests who were still busy on the front line, and they didn't even have time to introduce themselves, but politely smiled and nodded to the three of them.
Through exchanges with Maladal, both sides obtained a part of the intelligence.
After the destruction of the three large cities of Carabor, Oakington, and Shattrath, the Draenei could no longer organize a large army against the tribe.
The group of refugees sheltered by Maladal was only the largest group, and in addition to the captives captured by the orcs, there were also a large number of Draenei scattered in the mountains and forests.
Maladal didn't know the whereabouts of the other refugee settlements, and it would take all the best of them to take care of Oakington.
"In other words, you don't know where the prophet Velun has gone?"
Maladar shook his head and sighed: "Since the tribe launched a full-scale attack, the Oginny priests under my leadership have been operating near Okington. β
"We learned from the refugees about the fall of Shattrath and the Temple of Karabo, but no one knows if the Prophet is still alive."
After the outbreak of a full-scale war between the Draenei and the Orcs, Velenny led the Draenei's elite troops to defend the Carabo Temple, but the final result was ...... Everybody knows.
Since then, the Prophet Veron has been missing, and Maladar does not even know whether he is alive or dead.
Sareen thought about it for a moment, but did not tell him where Veren had gone, and he could not explain where he got this information.
Although Veron's whereabouts are unknown, Maladar provides Sarean with potentially useful information.
"When my guards were out hunting with a hunting party, they stumbled upon the movements of another group of Draenei refugees."
"The hunting party has searched for many times, but they have never been able to find the exact location of the other party, but I suspect that their camp must be near the ruins of the town of Termo in the south."
Valeera: "Termo? Draenei's town? β
Maradar's face turned a little gloomy: "Yes, Termo is sheltered by the Shadow of the Leaf, one of the seven Atama Crystals, and the orcs should not have been able to find its exact location. β
"But because of the revenge of the two generals, the spell that guarded Termo was broken, and the entire town was slaughtered by the orcs."
The two vengeful orcs are named Durotan and Orgrim.
That's right, it's the former chief of the Frostwolf clan and the last big chief of the tribe.
As children, Durotan and Orgrim were attacked by ogres during an outing, and their lives hung by a thread.
The hunting party led by Draenei Garrison Restaran happened to encounter them and rescued the two men, who were still young at the time.
Restaran was a close friend of the Prophet Velon, and had been strictly following Velon's strategy of being gentle with the native race of Draeenor, and he warmly welcomed the two injured into Termo.
Years later, the Frostwolf Clan, the Mafia of the Great Chieftain of the Horde, captured Telmo.
With his extraordinary memory, Durotan recalled Restaran's spell to unlock the protection of the Shadow of the Leaves, breaking the city's guardian spell in one fell swoop.
Durotan led an army of the Frostwolf Clan to level the town, and killed the garrison Restaran, who had saved his life as a child.
"Heh~"
Salian sneered, "Yes, this practice is indeed very orc, and revenge is common for them. β
Ah, this ...... Durotan has done such an inauthentic thing? I thought he was one of the more great orcs. γ
[Wake up, the whole orc race is a group of beasts, even if they don't drink the blood of demons, their barbaric and primitive style is destined to have nothing to do with the word civilization, and there is no concept of rudeness, righteousness and shame. γ
[Power and glory?] Blood and thunder? These were the slogans of civilization that Thrall, who had been deeply educated by humans, gave to the new tribe after he came to power, and before that, the orcs were all kinds of nonsense. γ
[They shout glory first, but what do they actually do?] Look at the tragic situation of the Delaney. γ
[Even Durotan, who was portrayed as a tragic hero of the tribe, has done this kind of revenge, how much better do you expect others to be?] γ
Sarean didn't have any good intentions or illusions about the orcs in the first place, but he didn't have any disillusionments.
However, some of the Horde players in the barrage seem to be quite concerned about this, and some are excusing Durotan and Orgrim, saying that it is a war between the Draenei and the Orcs, and it is impossible to overdo anything in a state of war.
SalΓ©an ignored the bickering between the opposing factions, who cared about the Draenei refugee settlement hiding near Termo.
To be able to protect a party under today's difficult conditions, it is impossible for a leader with outstanding ability to do it.
"Telmo, if we have time, we'll take a detour to see, but for now we have more important things to do."
Maladal nodded solemnly: "We must first make sure that the road from Oakington to Nagrand is clear." β
"As far as I know, the Warsong Clan has built a sentry tower at the entrance to Nagrand, and I wonder if those sentry posts are still guarded."
With so much to do with Maradal that Oakington struggled to find time to explore himself, he had to entrust the task to the three of Sarren.
In return, Maradal promised to forge further cooperation with Quel'Thalas, represented by Sarren, in the name of Archbishop Delaney, as long as the refugees from Oakington survived the ordeal.
Regardless of whether the Prophet Veron is still alive or not, at least the Priests of Orginny will remember the High Elves' helping hand in times of crisis.
After receiving a clear statement from Maladal, the three of Salajan left Oakington in a resolute manner and re-ascended to explore in the direction of Nagrand.
"Huh? Wait a minute. β
Having just flown out of the Oakington Labyrinth, Sarren, who had turned on the Eagle Eye Technique, suddenly saw a small group of draenei in animal skins to the southwest of the labyrinth, who were being chased by a large group of wild ogres.
The hunting party sent by Maladal operated mainly in the eastern direction of Oakington, and these people were clearly not from Oakington.
"Could it be that they're the other group of refugees that Maladal is talking about?"
