Chapter 100 3. The Wind Rises and the Tide Falls on the Island

The news of the death of the great traitor Gul'dan quickly spread throughout the tribe. This is the best news that the tribe that has suffered repeated failures has received in recent times.

Even with the low morale has recovered a lot.

After the Alliance captured the Sardo Bridge, the Horde did not continue to stop them in the wetlands, but immediately withdrew from the Khaz Modan area. However, some orcs began to secretly oppose Orgrim. They believed that Orgrim had already No longer the chief who would bring victory, they refused to leave the wetlands.

For these conspirators who thought about rebellion at a critical moment, Orgrim did not waste time on them, but let them wantonly stir up soldiers secretly.

The great chief thought very clearly. Since these soldiers don't want to leave, let them stay in the wetlands. Anyway, blocking the alliance requires someone to do it. Expulsion is not a bad thing for the battlefield that will inevitably be stalemate in the future and the possible counterattack in the future.

"Look at our chief running as fast as a rabbit without a tail!"

Nekros the Skull Crusher spat on the ground in disdain. After Zuluhed, the chief of the Dragonmaw clan, died in Quel'Thalas, he became the new chieftain of the Dragonmaw clan.

Unlike the cowardly Zuluhed, Nekros the Skullbreaker is an ambitious orc. He used to be a warlock. It was his instinct to chase power and power. He was also the first to find a way to control the dragon. The artifact "Dragon Soul", that golden disc-like thing, is his most valued treasure.

At this time, after the Horde army retreated, Nekros stood on the top of Grim Batol's mountain. From his position, he could easily see the Alliance scouts advancing in the wetlands.

Orgrim abandoned the wetland, so Dailin's feint attack turned into a real landing. However, the huge navy of the alliance did not stay in this wetland for too long. Two days after the battle ended, they set sail and went to the wetland. Apparently, Admiral Dai Lin was unwilling to give up his prey, and he wanted to hunt down the escaped orcs by sea.

Next to Nekros was an orc warlock wearing a robe. The chieftain had already fled, and no one obeyed his prohibition. These orc warlocks who had hidden their identities could appear in the light again.

"Chief, Orgrim has escaped, and he obviously intends to use us as cannon fodder..."

The orc warlock said to Nekros: "Should we also leave here? The number of those alliance dogs is increasing. I heard that even the dwarves of Khaz Modan have joined them. If they attack... "

"Run? No, no, no, we won't run!"

A hint of cunning flashed in Neklus' eyes, and he said softly: "Orgrim treats us as cannon fodder, but I'm also using him! Don't worry, before the Alliance destroys Orgrim, they won't be able to spare any extra power. Crusade us!"

"more importantly..."

The Skull Crusher glanced back at the underground city of Grim Batol, which stretches across the mountains behind him, and said proudly:

"Even if they want to attack us, given Grim Batol's easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain, how many casualties will they have to pay? As long as the human commanders are not idiots, they will not come to chew on this hard bone at this time. The city of the dwarves is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people! The supplies left in it are enough for us to live for several years!"

"After the next batch of baby dragons hatch and grow, my dragon knights will take off from this fortress and burn everything with dragon fire. This world... this world that Orgrim has not even been able to conquer... .will end up in my pocket!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The Skull Crusher seemed to have seen the day when he became king of the world. He let out a wild laugh, but the orc warlock standing beside him was not as confident as he was. The orc warlock looked behind him with some fear underground castle, he said softly:

"But Chief Nekros, you are also a warlock, I believe you can also feel the darkness hidden in this castle... that kind of strange power like whispers, many soldiers have reported that they Sleeps with weird dreams...the dwarves have given up this castle for no reason, chieftain, it's not a place to stay for long."

The words of the orc warlock also silenced Nekros for a few seconds. Anyone who can become a warlock is not an idiot. Neklus naturally knows the risk of staying here for a long time, but he can't think of any good place for a while. He rubbed his chin, After a moment, he whispered:

"Then let those red dragons use their fire of life to clean up the entire castle. Hey, there are dragon souls, and they must listen to us! Speaking of which, the red dragon queen Alexstrasza She is really powerful, she is comparable to thousands of troops, if I can comprehend the true secret of the dragon soul, and manipulate her to fight for us, there is no need to be so dormant...we can go out and occupy the world with a big swagger!"

Seeing that the new chief has entered into that kind of fantasy about the future again, the orc warlock was a little helpless, but Nekros did not lie, the dragon's breath of the red dragon has a very powerful restraint effect on these sneaky darkness. Thinking of this, the warlock's His worries eased a little, but he soon remembered another thing.

"Chief, before Orgrim leaves, let's send the dragon to help that brat Red Blackhand, should we help?"

The warlock asked, which interrupted Nekros' fantasy, he snorted a little dissatisfied, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded.

"Pie! Judging from Orgrim's tone, that brat Blackhand will soon be called the Chief of the Blackrock Clan. That is a big clan. It won't do us any harm to establish a good relationship with him in advance, let alone. ..”

There was a flash of light in Nekros' eyes:

"The stronger Orgrim's side is, the more Alliance dogs it can attract, and the safer we will be."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the alliance scouts who were trying to get close to Grim Batol with some disgust. He stretched out his hand and waved his staff. The next moment, an orc rider driving a young dragon flew across the sky , sprinkled scorching flames on those lifeless bastards.

At the same time, outside the southern coastline of the mainland, a huge fleet is advancing rapidly. The flag hoisted by this fleet is the national flag of Kul Tiras, which is a flag with an anchor and a white background, representing The captain of this fleet is a soldier from Kul Tiras.

On the flag of the flagship, there is also a royal blue ribbon, which means that there is a member of the royal family with noble blood.

That's right, this fleet of nearly 30 warships is the vanguard of the Alliance Navy commanded by Admiral Dai Lin.

Wearing a blue cloak, wearing a command knife, and wearing a captain's hat, Dai Lin was patrolling the deck. The great knight Cyrus was closely guarding His Majesty the king. Seeing the king's arrival, the navigator hurriedly bowed to salute. Dai Lin He nodded to him, looked at the surrounding sea again, and said loudly:

"Navigator! Report position!"

"Your Majesty, we are about to cross the coastline of the Khaz Modan region. After 5 hours of sailing, we will reach the Long Beach waters in the western wilderness of the Stormwind Kingdom. From there, we can choose to land and pursue the orcs by land, or continue south. Land from Stranglethorn Vale, which is closer to Blackstone Mountain, but Stranglethorn Vale is controlled by goblins, and there are many pirates there."

The navigator was a young man in his twenties, not a member of the Kul Tiras navy. During this period, the navies of all countries were under the command of Dai Lin. It was not surprising that this happened, but at this age For the profession of a navigator, it is considered very immature, which makes Dai Lin doubt the young man's ability.

However, it seemed that this young navigator knew the waters of the southern continent like the back of his hand, which made Dai Lin feel relieved.

"Believe me, kid, pirates are nothing. Of course, chasing those green bastards is more important right now."

The king twirled his beautifully groomed beard. He turned his head and looked at the surrounding blue sea. This is not the main road of sea traffic, and the war of the orcs has not affected here, but looking at the scenery of this sea area, it seems to be Same as in peacetime.

"How long is it until the next supply point?"

Dai Lin asked again, the navigator calculated the time, looked at the compass again, and replied:

"It will take another 40 minutes, and we will arrive at Tide Fall Island, which is the most suitable island in the Kaz Modan sea area. There are plenty of supplies. We can replenish fresh water there, pick some wild fruits, or hunt to supplement meat. "

"Very well, boy, what's your name?"

Dai Lin patted the shoulder of the young man in front of him with satisfaction, which flattered the young navigator. He hurriedly gave a military salute and replied:

"Report Admiral! My name is Taylor, and I come from the Kingdom of Stormwind! I...I admire you very much. It is because of your story that I decided to join the navy and become a navigator!"

"Oh, Taylor? What a nice name."

Dai Lin was also amused by the young man's words. He laughed and motioned him to continue working. He said softly:

"Taylor, you are a good soldier, maybe you will become the admiral of the alliance in the future, anyway, come on!"

On the other side, from the middle of the distant endless sea, the fleet of the Black Toothed Grinning Clan returning from the hell-like Tomb of Sargeras is also heading in the same direction.

There are only 7 ships left in this fleet, and the warriors who followed Red to hunt down Gul'dan have less than 1,000 people left, which can be called heavy casualties, and their leader Red Blackhand came from Sa After returning from Tomb of Glass, the situation was not normal. He locked himself in the captain's cabin and didn't know what he was busy with.

"bang bang"

There was a knock on the door, and Red Blackhand, who was leaning against the window, yelled in disgust: "Get lost! Don't bother me!"

"Brother, it's me, Mame."

Maim Blackhand's voice sounded, Reid breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, he whispered:

"come in."

Maim wearing red armor walked into the captain's cabin with a piece of grilled fish. He put the food on the table, looked at his brother, he hesitated, and finally asked:

"Brother, what happened to you? After returning from that temple, you have been abnormal, and we are very worried about you."

"It's nothing, Mame, I'm curious, don't worry."

Reid rejected his brother's worries in a blunt tone. He walked to the table, picked up the grilled fish, and asked while eating:

"How long will it take us to land?"

"Tony Shuangfang told me that it may take another day before we reach the West Wilderness, and he plans to replenish supplies at the tide-falling island ahead."

Meme replied: "You don't need to worry, brother, Tony is a very good captain and an old pirate, it's no problem to leave it to him."

"That troll is a bastard, stay away from him, Mame."

Red snorted disdainfully, and the two brothers fell silent again. It wasn't until Red finished eating the grilled fish that Maim asked cautiously:

"Brother, did you meet someone in that temple?"

This question made Red raise his head immediately, and he looked at Maim seriously:

"Who told you that?"

"Well, no one, I guess."

Maim scratched her head and said to Red:

"Last night when I was watching the night, I saw you sitting alone on the side of the boat, drunk and talking to yourself, and I heard you repeating "goodbye", "make the family proud" and what else" Will re-form the orthodox tribe" and so on, tell me, brother, those warriors who followed you to the temple have not returned, what did you encounter there? How did you kill Gul'dan?"

Seeing the curiosity in his younger brother's eyes, Reid hesitated for a moment. He motioned for his younger brother to sit aside. After thinking for a while, he said:

"I...uh, I just, these past few nights, I've been dreaming about my father, Mame, he said a lot to me, he confessed to me his past indifference to us brothers, he also said. ..and said we had to go our own way in the future, and he bid me farewell, Mame."

Red clenched his fists:

"That scene doesn't look like a dream at all, it's true, our father, he has actually been paying attention to us, even after death! He is neither cold-blooded nor ruthless, he was just deceived by Gul'dan, Orgrim killed him! Maim, I hate this Horde now! This hatred has never been stronger!"

"I don't need Orgrim to give me the position of Chief Blackstone that already belongs to me!"

"I want to inherit my father's behest! I want to reorganize the real orthodox tribe!"

Red's eyes shone with shocking anger and determination, and he said to his brother:

"I want revenge, Mam...I want to kill Orgrim! You'll help me, won't you?"

Maim Blackhand hesitated for a moment, but seeing the determination and stubbornness in Red's eyes, he nodded:

"Of course! If I don't help my brother, why should I help my enemy?"

"Very good! Then we need to plan carefully..."
