Chapter 1540 Chess King Duke
The vast majority of goblins only care about money. In the eyes of most goblins, the tribe is just a poor man. There is no money from the alliance.
What's more, the three richest families in the alliance are the Kul Tiras, Alterac and Marcus families.
The three families almost share the same purse. If you offend one family, you will offend all three. The leader of the alliance is still the demigod Duke. It goes without saying how to choose Hot Sand Group.
The defection of the Hot Sand Group directly put an end to the tribe's southward expansion. After all, it is impossible for the Bilgewater Cartel to go to war with its own compatriots for the sake of the Horde.
The only way to expand is to the west - Desolace and Feralas.
The former is an unclaimed land, while the latter is occupied by a group of neutral forces not protected by the Alliance, such as the arena slave owners who sold Varian to be a slave gladiator.
If it were in the past, Thrall would handle the relationship between these neutral forces more carefully. Unfortunately, the food pressure brought by more than two million orcs was so great that Thrall was completely suffocated.
It is impossible for the tribe to rely solely on the alliance for food support, and the alliance's food is basically based on cereals, which is not at all to the appetite of these traditional orcs. Duke is generous and doesn't mind exporting pig-raising technology to the tribe.
Unfortunately, breeding is also a sophisticated industry. If you want to raise pigs, you must at least have pig feed, right? After half a circle, we are actually back to the old problem. The land is too barren and there is no industrial foundation and scientific knowledge. The Alliance will give limited blood transfusions to the tribe, but will never teach the tribe to make blood.
Thrall became ruthless and directly launched a war involving hundreds of thousands of orcs.
The first battle started in Durotar. The tribe directly used the human sea tactic to wipe out the centaur tribe entrenched in the southern part of Durotar.
Then two fronts, one south and one north, swept across Desolace and Feralas at the same time.
It is worth mentioning that a new person has risen among the tribe.
He is Garrosh Hellscream, the son of Grom.
Garrosh was born in Nagrand, the orc homeland of Draenor, and his upbringing was untainted by the blood of the demons flowing through the orcs who invaded Azeroth.
Although he himself was not affected by the corruption, Garrosh always lived in the shadow of his father, Grom, who was the first orc to drink the blood of the pit lord Mannoroth and become corrupted.
Garrosh was ashamed of his father's actions until he met Warchief Thrall.
The founder of the resurrected tribe told the young Garrosh how his father started from the Battle of the Dark Portal, and continued to fight heroically in Ashenvale against the abyss lord Mannoroth who had tricked the tribe, and at the Battle of Mount Hyjal. After making a big splash, he swept across the Molten Core and killed the traitorous Blackhand brothers in Blackwing Lair. After the Battle of Ahn'Qiraj, he finally couldn't fight and retreated to the second line.
Different from the original history, the original Mr. Hou deserves half the credit and half the credit, which is worthy of admiration. But in this life, Mr. Hou's merits clearly outweigh his faults.
As the founder of the new tribe, Mr. Hou used his extra time to add more heroism to his heroic legend.
If Garrosh had any grievances against his father, it was that he had sworn to serve a human demigod after death.
Overall, Garrosh relatively admires his father.
Then, Garrosh followed Thrall to Azeroth as an advisor.
Soon, he was appointed captain of the Warsong Clan's stormtroopers who suppressed the centaur forces. He impressed other members of the tribe by displaying courage, resilience, and militancy on the battlefield. At the same time, he was concerned that Garrosh ignored the opinions of Horde members other than orcs.
Not to mention, he deeply hates the Alliance. Even the Alliance provides transportation for the Horde to leave Draenor.
This is obviously contrary to the tribe's current mainstream policy of multi-racial integration and friendship with the Alliance.
Thrall saw this, but he had no reason to punish such a young and energetic orc. In fact, most of the orcs who came from Draenor had such a temper.
Thrall was very anxious now. However, he still has to deal with Gronn. The demigod strongman Gruul is not a good-tempered lord. The only good thing is that he chose to focus on the Desolate Land instead of the ferras area with lush vegetation that the tribe is more optimistic about.
When Duke told Gemini a little about the tribe's situation, Gemini came up with a lot of things.
"Does the master want Oreses to destroy the entire tribe by controlling the tribe's warlocks?" Not to mention Oreses, even Saloras is eager to try.
Gemini is the best at this kind of thing.
Duke raised his index finger and shook it: "This is too low-end."
A low-level sentence made Gemini's face turn red. Doesn't this mean that their methods are not good?
Duke pondered for a moment, then said directly:
"Destiny seems to be unpredictable and irregular. In fact, the general trend of fate is determined as early as the moment the leader makes a decision. The Alliance will not take the initiative to destroy the tribe. If it does, the Burning Legion will only be happy. Aize Ra's power should not be weakened because within ten years at most, a full-scale war will begin."
"But the divisions and conflicts in the tribe were doomed the moment Thrall accepted two million orcs and came to Azeroth. This rift will only get wider. In fact, the alliance does not need to do anything specifically at all. You need to know the necessary information so that you can take action at the most perfect time and gain the greatest benefits.”
"It's like...ambushing Kil'jaeden."
When Duke said this, the twins felt a chill in their hearts at the same time.
This time, they finally understood that the difference between them and Duke was not in strength or soul manipulation, but in the realm of thinking.
Just like this time, Kil'jaeden went to great lengths to spare Illidan, and even fell silent when the Alliance besieged Outland, in order to secretly arrange a portal to the Sunwell to sneak through.
After so many conspiracies and taking so long, in the end, didn't Duke get the key to get him out of the game?
This kind of taking advantage of the enemy's conspiracies and contradictions to achieve the greatest results with the least effort is the most advanced plan!
If Kil'jaeden is a chess player who uses the universe as his chessboard, then Duke should be... the chess king, right?
Suddenly, for the first time in their lives, the twins felt a sense of inferiority to Duke—could Duke really be the God of Destiny that Tyrande said! ?
The twins retreated, and soon Duke called in a second group of people.
That's the Dwarf King Brigade.
The three Bronzebeard brothers, Kurdran Wildhammer, and the great craftsman Gelbin.
Duke's first sentence: "The Alliance is like a war machine now. Once the machine stops, it will be troublesome to restart it. So the machine can rotate slowly, but it cannot stop. I have a plan now - that is the Fearless Fortress !”
