Chapter 1558: Jiang is still old and spicy
Since the defeat of the Dragonmaw Clan at Noseron, they have been forced to sail by boat and flee to Durontar to join the new tribe led by Gouyle.
As a result, the Hammer Dwarves were able to control all of Northeron and completely recover the land of their ancestors, reclaiming the old capital of Grimbaatar, which had been abandoned for many years.
More than 200 years have passed, and the cursed power that Mordgood left in the city after the Black Iron Demon has long since vanished.
Saljan had been to Grimbaatar and fought Deathwing to the death in the massive city.
In terms of size, Grimbaatar is no smaller than Ironforge, the capital of the Copperbeard Dwarves, except that many areas have been sealed off due to rockfalls.
With a lot of thought and time, Grimbaatar will surely become another important stronghold of the Kazmodan Kingdom.
The Hammer Dwarves who won the war ate a lot of money, and the Dragonthroat Clan, who were forced to flee to sea, were not so lucky.
As we all know, the orcs are very lame in their seafaring skills, and the ships in the hands of the Dragonthroat Clan are all old antiques left over from the old tribal period, and these extremely high-premium ships are converted from goblin traitors and commercial armed merchant ships.
Antique wrecked ships with unpredictable sailing skills...... When the Dragonmaw Clan crossed the sea to Durotar after all the hardships, only about half of the Dragonmaw orcs who were lucky enough to land were only about half of what they had when they first went to sea.
Fortunately, the mainstay of the Dragonthroat Clan, the old chief Zulushid, still survived tenaciously, but suffered a slight illness under the influence of the turbulence of the sea.
When the Dragonmaw Clan landed in Dulongtar, Gouir personally led the chiefs of the clans to the seashore to meet them.
Gouyl has no affection for Necrus, the former Dragonthroat Chieftain who abused his evil powers.
It was because of Necrus's perverse behavior that the orcs attracted the hostility and hatred of the dragons.
But yard by yard, Gouyl had great respect for the old chieftain Zurushid, who had always adhered to the way of a shaman, and who was a respected man of his time with his mentor Drektar.
As the saying goes, ginger is still old and spicy.
Counting the young frostwolf cub in front of him, Zuluhid has followed three generations of the Great Chieftain, and his eyesight, blessed by rich experience, is far more vicious than those impatient dragon-throated radicals.
Zuluhid had had had a lot of contact with Drektar and Garrad, and he could tell at a glance that although Gouyl had never met his grandfather, this kid had perfectly inherited Garrard's ideas, which were ridiculed by countless orcs at the time.
The concept of being kind to others and peaceful development.
Many people ridiculed Garad for being weak, but Zuluhid knew that Garad would not just give in.
When it's time to make a move, he will not hesitate to show his tough side, but he will not show force at every turn like other orc clans, and will first try to solve the problem in a peaceful way with less loss.
Zuluhid also despised Garrad's anachronistic ideas, and it was only after the great defeat of the old tribe that he finally began to understand Garrad.
Blindly showing a tough attitude does not guarantee that you will achieve your goal, and if you are tough, the enemy may be tougher than you.
Although the Black Hand, the first generation of the Great Chief of the Tribe, is extremely famous among the orc community, he is only a puppet chosen by the Shadow Council and Gul'dan, and his every move is under the control of the Shadow Council.
The second Grand Chief, Orgrim, is a close friend of Gallard's son, Durotan, and is rightfully influenced by the ideas of a portion of the Frostwolf Clan.
While Orgrim's reign wasn't perfect, considering that the tribe he inherited was a mess with internal holes, it was rare to be able to run the tribe to victory by just one step.
When the position of Great Chief passed to Gouyle, Zuluhid saw in him the possibility of realizing Garrad's idea of not conforming to the three views of the orcs.
In the in-depth contact that followed, Zuluhid further affirmed his views.
This seemingly young Great Chief is more mature and stable than the orc veterans with a single brain, and he is the best leader the orcs need to re-emerge.
As a result, Zulushid's decision to stake the future of the Dragonthroat Clan on Gouil has drawn strong opposition from the radicals within the clan.
The old Zuluhid had long been aware of the undercurrents surging within the new tribe, so he deliberately found a time to have a secret meeting with Gouyle.
To his surprise and relief, Gouyl had already thought of countermeasures to deal with those careerists, and after receiving a "big gift" from the Eastern Kingdom, he officially made up his mind and immediately began to lay out preparations to solve the hidden dangers within the tribe.
In Zuluhid's eyes, the ambitious Fireblade clan and the Dragon's Throat radicals who are used as guns are just clowns controlled by Gouyl behind his back, and their plans are doomed to fail.
"Hey~"
Gouyle's youthfulness made Zulushid, who was getting older and older, sigh bitterly.
"Garad, I didn't expect it to be you, an old boy, who had the last laugh, at least in terms of cultivating a successor, I, Zulushid, am willing to bow down."
Zuluhid is indeed old and strong, but it is not a sorrow that the Dragonthroat Clan has made him, an old chief who once abdicated, hold on to the present.
This proves that the Dragonthroat Clan has no successor.
As he slowly walked out of the alley area with his cane, Zuluhid looked thoughtfully at the young orc who was supporting him beside him.
"Zayra, if it were you to lead the Dragonthroat Clan, how would you make your choice?"
"Rebelling with those traitors? Or do you believe that Goyle can lead us back to the top? ”
"Huh?"
The female orc named Zayla didn't expect the old chief to suddenly ask herself this question, and scratched her head blankly: "I...... I guess I'll choose to follow the Grand Chief of Goyle. ”
Zuluhid asked with interest, "Tell me your reasons." ”
"The reason is simple, only he can be recognized by the unruly Grom Hellroar, and the others want to be on top...... IMHO, they all need to get past the Warsong Clan first. ”
"Hmm...... Nice angle to consider. ”
Zuluhid smiled and continued, "So, how do you think Gouyl can be recognized by that thorn in Grom?" Is it because of Orgrim's entrustment? ”
"Probably not."
Zayla bowed her head and pondered for a moment before replying, "The people of the Hellroar family have always only recognized the principles they follow...... That is, the strong are respected. ”
"I don't know exactly what happened between Grom and Grand Chief Goyle, but the fact that High Chief has been recognized by Hellroar shows that his personal prowess is not bad."
"Not bad."
Zulushid's expression was somewhat complicated, hooking the corners of his mouth, both relieved and sarcastic.
"It's ridiculous that even you, an inexperienced young man, can think of something that some idiot who is immersed in his own world selectively ignores."
"Now, you know why I thought in the clan council that Goyle was a qualified man in every way...... He's even a good big chief, right? ”
Zaira nodded thoughtfully, "Chief, do you know why Grand Chief Goyle was recognized by Hellroar?" ”
"Of course I do."
After stepping out of the dimly lit alleyway, Zuluhid looked up at the sunny sky.
"You've probably heard of the name Akmund, right?"
Zaira's expression changed suddenly, and she replied solemnly, "I heard that he is the boss of Manolos, the Abyss Lord who once enslaved us and other orcs, and one of the three giants of the Burning Legion. ”
"That's right."
Zuluhid continued to walk slowly with his crutches: "So, you should have heard the news that Akmund died in the battle of Mount Hyjal, right?" ”
"What do you think Azeroth will have to pay to defeat that powerful demon lord?"
Zaira shook her head with a wry smile, "To be honest, I can't think of it, because I don't think Azeroth's current strength alone can defeat the Polluters. ”
"But they just did it."
"yes, it did." Zuluhid's eyes were a little cloudy and he sighed, "While we were still busy with infighting, the Gouil had already led the new tribe to do such a great thing. ”
"I'll tell you why Grom approved of Gouyle, and the answer is actually quite simple."
Zuluhid raised his trembling arm and pointed in the direction of Mount Hyjal north of Orgrimmar: "For they have fought side by side in that hellish battlefield. ”
"So, that guy from Grom knows Guy's abilities better than anyone...... Ability in all aspects. ”
Food poisoning, diarrhea and prostration...... At this time, I am still hanging water in the hospital, and I will take a day off tomorrow and resume the update the day after tomorrow.
