Chapter 547 Suspense of Fate
Zuluhed ground his teeth and didn't care: "No one can go back to the past."
Orgrim spread his hands: "But I can leave my experience and knowledge to the next great chief, the one who can really lead the tribe out of our doomed world, the one who can really bring the tribe to prosperity."
Zuluhed narrowed his eyes: "Are you going to commit suicide like a coward? Or are you going to give up leading us?"
"No, I want to use my own way to leave as much vitality as possible for the tribe." Orgrim smiled mysteriously.
In this world, no one knows what Orgrim's plan is, except for one person—Duke.
Anduin Lothar, who was in charge of the army, had a disagreement with Duke for the first time.
After recovering Stormwind City, Anduin rushed back to the main force of the alliance in the north, but when he received many reports from Elwynn Forest, he frowned deeply.
At this time, hundreds of thousands of troops have been divided into two groups. The main force gathered in the desolate land east of the scorching canyon, ready to advance forward; the other line, with only 50,000 people and mainly dwarves, gathered in the Loch Modan area where Ironforge was located, and prepared to pass the dwarves. The huge tunnel that has been built for many years passes directly through the mountainside, and cooperates with the main force to enter the scorching canyon.
At the very moment when a full-scale attack was about to be launched, Anduin, who was in the main camp in the barren land, thought for a long time, and chose to summon Duke directly with a magic message.
Duke arrived as promised.
"What? Anduin, are you worried about my army controlling the direction of the Stormwind Kingdom?" Duke entered the camp with a smile, but found that only Anduin was there.
Anduin's face was rarely serious: "In the town of Gold, in Blackwell, and near the East Valley logging camp, my people have all received reports that you condoned your subordinates to slaughter orcs, women and children."
Duke's heart skipped a beat, the one that was to come finally came, but Duke didn't regret it: "Really? I just ask every soldier to visit the settlements destroyed by the orcs, and visit the settlements that were chopped in two by the orcs with an axe." Half, the remains of a woman holding a baby."
"You are inciting people's hatred for orcs. I don't care about orc warriors, but it is not in line with the spirit of chivalry to let orcs slaughter women and children."
"First, please tell me, why should you treat a barbaric race that has launched a genocide against humans? Second, if you insist on letting the orc women and children go, then ten or twenty years later, when the new batch The orcs grow up and once again raise their butcher knives at humans, what do you do? Do you want us to tell His Royal Highness Varian, "Oh, Your Highness, chivalry is the best, and you must not kill the women and children of orcs. This will make it easier for those cubs to grow up. Come back to slaughter humans.' What?"
Duke's words left Anduin speechless.
"Anduin, what we are facing is a collection of extremely brutal and barbaric races. Don't forget that orcs, trolls, and ogres are all part of the tribe."
"However, if we abandon the virtues that humans should have, what is the difference between us humans and orcs!?" Anduin argued.
"Virtue is destined to be an ideal that cannot be achieved by everyone. I do not deny chivalry, but I am a very practical mage. I only recognize races and civilizations that can communicate with reason. Anduin, you can cancel My position as the deputy commander of the alliance even made Ryan cancel my duke, but if you want to stop me from cleaning up the orcs, please bring an army of 200,000."
Duke's voice fell, and Anduin fell into a deep conflict. Anduin knew very well that it was impossible for him to let the alliance let go of its hatred. Most of the eleven countries in the alliance were poisoned by the tribe. There are more than a million human beings who died at the hands of the tribe?
However, indulging these alliance soldiers to take revenge wantonly is not in line with the knight's oath.
Facing Duke's strong opposition, Anduin knew that if Duke could not be persuaded, it would be impossible to prevent the spread of this race.
At this time, as expected by Duke, King Lane came in from outside the tent.
Ryan spoke very earnestly: "Duke, I don't want to directly refute your approach with great reason. I just want to hear your opinion on the tribe."
After a few seconds of silence, Duke spoke with a heavy voice: "Do you know how many tribes are still left on the mainland? Do you know how many places on the mainland can be used for tribes to thrive if we don't clean up the tribes as much as possible? No! You don't know, but I—all! Know! Know!"
Anduin and Ryan immediately looked awe-inspiring.
The hidden Warsong clan, Frostwolf clan, and various troll clans that might join the tribe were pointed out by Duke one by one on the large map.
Kargath, Raging Flame Peak, Stonenard, Grom'gol... These tribal strongholds that are almost taken for granted in Duke's game memory, at this time, in front of Anduin, a military strategist, naturally have a different taste.
Looking at these wild lands that have been ignored by most people for a long time, if they are left alone, they will become an excellent hotbed for the rise of the tribe, and Anduin and Ryan are finally moved.
Duke's last reason was to give Anduin a final blow to the balance in his heart: "Think about it, did Emperor Thoradin ever count troll women and children among the weak..."
In this era, no matter what, human beings use Emperor Thoradin as a template for action. Perhaps chivalry is very noble and worthy of admiration, but compared with the co-lord of mankind, Emperor Thoradin, it is clear at a glance who is more important.
Lothar is indeed a very noble person, and Duke has no intention of attacking his beliefs, but Duke has to do so, because when the alliance wins, according to history, King Terenas will implement the very fucked, banning the alliance A policy of slaughtering tribal captives.
This is Terenas' plan to consume the rest of the alliance in the name of chivalry.
Unless they find an excuse to leave the alliance, they will be overwhelmed by the ever-increasing shelter costs. Those countries that truly possessed the spirit of chivalry and humanitarianism became infested with tigers, and King Terenas, who wanted to reap the benefits of fishermen, also threw himself into the street magnificently after meeting the fallen Alsace.
Duke is enlightened.
Of course he hated the extremely violent old tribe, and wished to kill all the tribe. It's a pity that the orcs are Xiaoqiang who can't kill them all. In such a big world, it is impossible to eradicate the tribe, so at least the living space of the new tribe must be compressed, and the new tribe should also be within a controllable range.
If you don't move at any time, you will have a chance to destroy the alliance, or come to a funny big chief's brainless roar to affect the appearance of the city and pit the alliance.
That's far away, but a little closer. The focus of Duke's attention is the battle of closing the palace as the second Dark Portal War. In this battle, according to the original history, Duke's most respected alliance hero, Anduin Lothar...
Will be killed by Orgrim! !
