Menethil's Power

Chapter 580 Howling From Hell

While Isaacs was explaining to Alsace, the entire eastern kingdom was in action, the fleet was gathering on the coastline, and the mages were busy building temporary portals and teleportation circles to assist in the mobilization of troops.Most nations, especially kingdoms that have been invaded in past wars, know that no one is immune to world crises.

Of course, some stubborn king didn't understand this.

On the other side of the endless sea, a red fleet is also gathering. Unlike the standard battleships of the alliance, this fleet looks a bit messy as a whole, including rough and heavy iron-hulled ships that look very primitive, and What appeared to be newly incorporated pirate galleons and even a few steaming goblin warships crowded the waters east of Orgrimmar, bustling the newly built port.

Warchief Thrall of the Horde watched from the walls of Orgrimmar.Perhaps this can be called prosperity?But Thrall felt a little tight in his chest.

Groups of orc warriors and taller tauren boarded the ship one after another. Although the formation was not neat, they had good discipline. Without exception, they all wore excellent full-body plate armor, and their weapons were also They all shimmered with a faint light - that is the performance of being enchanted.

Although they always ridicule weak human beings for relying on tin can-like armor to fight, the orcs are also unavoidable.In the past, such a set of full-body metal armor, and metal armor suitable for orcs, was the treatment that only chiefs could enjoy. Doomhammer's black and yellow plate armor is now worn on Thrall, and now such a complete set of armor with weapons can only be used. Worth fifteen stone-tusk pigs, plus basic enchantments.

Even more than that, excellent crossbows, common types of armor-piercing arrows, and some common enchanted arrows can also be bought at a not particularly high price. Although the quantity is limited, there is always a supply. Goblins sell these things. But it is unbelievable that there is no high-level instruction from the alliance behind this.

It can be said that just in terms of weapons and armor, Orgrimmar's fragile military industry system has only been established for a few years, and it has been hit in pieces.

Merchant ships from the endless sea continuously brought all kinds of supplies. The living standards of the orcs have improved from the level of nomads for at least a few centuries. Thousands of healthy newborns are born. years, they will become the backbone of the tribe.

However, the development of ideology was not good. Most tribal people quickly realized that there was something equally important besides force, and that was gold coins.

That's right, gold coins from Lordaeron, as long as you have enough of these bright yellow bauble, you can enjoy treatment comparable to the warchief.

Whether this is a good change, even Thrall himself is not sure.

There are two views in Orgrimmar. Veterans like Brother Saurfang who participated in the Second War believe that humans should be vigilant. The hatred between the two races cannot be easily resolved, so they must do a good job. Preparations for war.The Liyi faction thinks it is good to maintain the current situation. Everyone has benefited from the alliance's trade. Humans seem to have put down their hatred and are not very interested in Kalimdor. They are only keen on making money, so the orcs might as well In doing so, Azeroth is big enough to accommodate everyone.

Although no one else stood up to support the latter view except Gallywix, who made a lot of money by taking advantage of the trend of trade, but similar ideas are being subtly implanted in the hearts of many people, especially in Aize A younger generation of orcs born in Rath.

Except Sal.

The education Isaacs gave him back then was not advanced but comprehensive enough, so the young chief could easily see the essence. This was not just a matter of hatred, but more about the survival of the entire race.

Most of the tribe members are working very hard, giving the ores, animal skins, and herbs to the merchants of the alliance to exchange them for Lordaeron gold coins, and then using Lordaeron gold coins to buy the materials sold by them manufactured goods.This does make their lives better to some extent, but in essence, most of the value they create is contributed to the other side of the endless sea, which is a kind of exploitation.

Gold coins are a good medicine for erasing hatred. This is especially obvious for goblins. The Bilgewater Consortium and the Macdonald Consortium, which were originally sworn enemies, jointly built a machinery factory in Durotar, which will inevitably lead to further exploitation of the tribe's labor force. .

However, it was difficult for Thrall to change this situation.

The entire economy of the tribe is falling into the hands of others. Although the orcs don't know it yet, they are gradually falling into another sense of slavery, and this time the chains on their bodies are much stronger than the blood of the devil. It's also harder to get rid of.

He is very clear, but he can only acquiesce in everything that happened, and he can't even say it. The reason is very simple. Although the day Orgrimmar was shrouded in shadows has become a taboo topic, the dark floating battleship has become a part of most people's hearts. The psychological shadow of the high-level tribe.

It's ridiculous that the Horde almost defeated the Alliance more than ten years ago, but now it only takes one ship to destroy the entire Horde.

This is absolute suppression, and it is precisely because of such a large force gap that the tribes can only accept this seemingly equal but actually exploitative trade treaty, and comfort themselves with the fact that their own side can also benefit.

The weapons sold by the alliance can be called excellent, but they can only be regarded as "old age weapons". The fully armed orc warriors are still no threat to the floating warships, and the core equipment, whether it is various war machines or Azeri Special weapons are all marked as strategic grade, and the Horde hardly has any formal means of obtaining them.

Someone from another world naturally knows how to build technical barriers.

Even from the perspective of other alliance countries, Lordaeron's development speed over the years is unbelievable, but Thrall knows that this is actually related to one person. The title of prince makes most people subconsciously think that he is relying on The power of the state, but actually the exact opposite.

Whether it is the magic of the high elves, the engineering of the gnomes and goblins, or the world tree of the night elves, this world already has it, but that person has enough insight and ability to bring them all together, thus forming Now this huge Lordaeron is even capable of dealing with world-class crises alone.

Also a young leader, Thrall understands how terrible it is for someone who can do this to not even be called a prophet, because even Drek'Thar, the prophet of the Frostwolf clan, can only vaguely see the future , guessing to deal with it.

He gave Thrall the feeling of being omniscient, even if he was not completely omniscient, it was enough to make Thrall creepy.

This is even far beyond the fear of its strength.

Of course, although he knew that the current tribe could only reluctantly agree to the conditions proposed by the man and become the target of exploitation, it was not that Thrall hadn't thought about how to make the tribe rise.

As long as you have enough gold coins, you can buy most of the things from the goblins, which naturally includes not-so-confidential information. Thrall immediately asked for all the battle reports of the Battle of Quel'Thalas, because that It was the first time that Lordaeron sent out all its troops after the second war, and he also discovered a very crucial point as he wished, that is, only a few years ago, the army of Lordaeron was at least superficially the native army of Azeroth. Their floating battleship is essentially just a wooden boat with a propeller.

Facing an enemy of this level, if the tribe does not count casualties, it can cause a considerable degree of battle damage.

But just over three years later, a steel battleship like a dark cloud hovered over Orgrimmar, and the speed at which Fang Fang climbed technology was unimaginable. If humans could do this by themselves, Then the orcs can't even pass through the Dark Portal.

They must have helped.

It is said that the Alliance and the Draenei have formed an alliance, but the technology of that battleship did not come from them - from the almost extermination of the orcs who were almost assembled, it can be seen that this elegant race is not good at fighting and making weapons.

Due to the limitations of the information he obtained, Thrall didn't know that he had made a wrong judgment from the beginning, and following this wrong premise, he finally believed that the main source of Alliance technology was the Titans.

That prince was very interested in various Titan relics in his early years, and it is said that he found something very remarkable. The inheritance of the Creator is enough to make a mortal race change drastically, there is no doubt about it.

While such a change could theoretically be replicated, it seemed the tribe's only chance of catching up.

There is a legend among the natives of Kalimdor that in the desert at the southernmost tip of the continent, there is a sanctuary of the gods. All signs indicate that it is a facility left by the Titans, but it has not been abandoned. , seems to be working, but that seems to be the only hope.

After exposing Red Blackhand's crimes, Rexxar planned to return to the wilderness to continue wandering, but Thrall persuaded him with great sincerity to serve the new tribe. Together the hunters set out on a journey south to explore Uldum, with little hope, but there is always hope.

In the distant port, one transport ship after another was filled instantly, and the entire fleet was ready to go. This time, the tribe dispatched a third of the warriors. They will go to the Broken Isles and land in an area called Highmountain. Thus formally participating in this war.

This is the man's request. The request came through Akama. The Broken One, who calls himself the Dark Master, is hiding not far behind Thrall at this time, rarely revealing his existence. He is conveying to Thrall After the news, he even stayed behind, saying that it was to convey his master's order in time, but Thrall knew that it meant surveillance.

There is also a tauren clan on Highmountain, which has the same origin as the clan led by Cairne Bloodhoof, but Thrall doesn't think that the man arranged this out of kindness. Ask the tribe to rush to the front line of death.

Otherwise why sell armor to orcs?
However, Thrall couldn't refuse this, because the front row of the array was originally the position of the soldiers, and he could only find a way to make more soldiers come back alive after this war.He doesn't plan to recall Rexxar and Lockhan, so apart from the race leader, the only generals who can stand on their own are the Brooks Brothers, and they alone cannot protect all the soldiers.

Thrall turned around and walked down the tower. Now that most of the soldiers had boarded the ship, it was time to implement the decision he had already made.

The Shadow Breach is an underground dark place located in the central area of ​​Orgrimmar, and in its depths is a place full of lava. It used to be the lair of the Twilight Church founded by Red Blackhand, and now it has become a place where a certain prison for some prisoners.

Here comes Thrall, armed with a heavy battle-axe.

In the deepest part of this lava field, an orc sits quietly on a platform, his eyes closed as if in meditation, his body is strong and tough, although he is unarmed, he is wearing shockingly heavy shackles, his green skin faintly reveals Red, I don't know if it's because of being in this hot place.

Thrall looked at him, was silent for a while, and threw the battle ax in his hand.

The orc who was sitting quietly opened his eyes suddenly, and stretched out his hand to skillfully hold the handle of the battle axe. Thrall and his eyes collided, and the hollow on the back of the battle ax made a humming sound.

"Grom Hellscream." Thrall tried to keep his voice steady, "You once made a big mistake because of your recklessness and arrogance. You once almost destroyed the beautiful future we created. You should continue to be here Redemption, but now that the Burning Legion has invaded the world again, you now have the chance, with Gorehowl, to take back your glory from the demons."

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the former warsong clan chief, "I wish now, great chief."

His voice was hoarse.
