Chapter 114 Are You Wilderness Demigods? Join the Horde

"Can you sense the distance now? The Cursed Lands aren't that far from Stormwind," Azoton said.

Once mortal races consume the demonic blood of the Abyss Lord, they are easily corrupted and thus controlled by that Abyss Lord.

The orcs of Draenor were once controlled by the demonic blood of Mannoroth.

The curse was lifted only when an old orc chopped down that fool Mannonos with an axe.

What an absolute idiot! Manonos was the strongest of all the Abyss Lords, yet he was so easily killed by a mere mortal. It's utterly shameful.

"I'm sorry, my lord, I can't sense this distance, but as long as someone is around me, I will definitely be able to detect them," Darkrom said.

"Forget it! Don't worry about that for now. By the way, Kurul is going to attack the tribe's main city. Go and follow him. If he gets into danger..."

"You must save him, don't let him die so easily, we still need this idiot's cooperation for the rest of the plan!" Azoton said.

According to Kil'jaeden's plan, those two fools, Kazzak and Krull, need to draw the Alliance's firepower before luring them to Outland.

Send them to attack the Black Temple and kill Illidan, the demon hunter who destroyed two Legion planets.

Having come to the world of Azeroth, I also have a mission: to keep an eye on these two idiots and prevent them from getting into any trouble. There are still quite a few people in Azeroth who can threaten the Legion.

"Understood, Lord. I will depart immediately." The enormous abyss lord, Darkrom, nodded and strode his obese body toward the tribe.

Some warlocks in the Legion have already opened a portal and sent the massive Abyss Lord there. The Legion's technology is so advanced that it can travel freely within a planet whenever needed.

At the same time that Demon Lord Kurul was heading to attack the Horde's capital city, Thrall was welcoming guests.

Rhodes, Kaido, and Retson arrived in Orgrimmar once again and were given a grand welcome by Thrall. The Kor'kron Guard lined up to greet them, and the orcs accorded Rhodes and Kaido the highest level of hospitality.

The entire city of Orgrimmar received Kaido and Rhodes with extremely high honors.

"Welcome back to Orgrimmar, my friend. Retson, has your head injury been healed?" Thrall asked Retson.

The most powerful warlock in the Horde was severely injured in Molten Core last time, leaving him with a permanent aftereffect: flames of the Grinding Lord burning on his head.

Unexpectedly, this time the injuries were actually healed, and judging from the opponent's aura, their strength seemed to have increased considerably.

"Great Chieftain, I have not only healed my injuries, but also gained control of Ragnaros's power. Now, I can easily wield the power of fire." After Retson finished speaking, a ball of blazing flame ignited in his palm, constantly changing shape.

The flame even flew into the sky under Retson's control, bursting out with dazzling light. Retson, his orc mentor, had spent his time in the pirate world building the Dark Gate and familiarizing himself with his own power. He didn't even have time to learn Haki.

Now, Ragnaros's power is his own power, which he can manipulate at will, even more easily than those fire mages.

Several fire mages of the blood elf race were also surprised to see this scene. Were they kidding? How could they so easily wield the power of fire?

This was much easier than using arcane energy to unleash fire magic. Several shamans watched in astonishment as Retson manipulated the power of fire. They clearly sensed that this was not fel magic; Retson was not using fel magic to control the flames.

He was using the purest elemental power, manipulating elemental fire—a shamanic ritual. However, unlike borrowing elemental power, it seemed as if Retson was controlling his own body.

"It's amazing, Retson, you look like a top-tier shaman now," Thrall said.

The orcs deeply revere shamans, and each shaman holds a supreme position within the tribe. Thrall's words were quite flattering.

"Thank you for your praise, Chieftain. Not only that, I have also suppressed the fel energy within me, and now I no longer need to worry about the fel energy corrupting me," Retson said.

"It's amazing, Mr. Rhodes, did you do all of this?"

"You previously mentioned that you would also help the fel orcs you rescued from Draenor?" Thrall looked at Rhodes, bowed deeply, and then asked.

If they could truly save those fel orcs deeply corrupted by fel energy, it would be a good thing for the Horde. According to intelligence they received from the blood elves, there are currently quite a few fel orc tribes in Outland.

Previously, everyone in the tribe believed that their companions, corrupted by the power of fel energy, were beyond saving, but now, if there is even the slightest chance to save them, Thrall will try.

“That’s right, Chieftain. I have a way to suppress the orcs’ fel power. I am also a warlock, but as you can see, as long as I don’t use fel magic, no one will discover this,” Rhodes said.

At the same time, a surge of fire element, along with storm, frost, and lightning elements, converged in Rhode's hand.

Having eaten the Azure Dragon Fruit for some time now, the power of the Azure Dragon has awakened within Rhodes' body. Even in human form, Rhodes can manipulate four powers: fire, storm, ice, and lightning.

It wasn't particularly noticeable in the pirate world, but after arriving in the world of Azeroth, it became almost instinctive. Last time, Kaido also heard some mysterious calls and felt new power in the world of Azeroth.

Rhodes felt the same way this time. As his strength increased, the feeling became stronger. However, unfortunately, his Observation Haki was not strong enough, so he could not faintly hear the voice.

However, Rhode can now manipulate the four powers of ice, fire, storm, and lightning.

"My friends, I've heard that you've come here to join the Horde, is that right?" Thrall asked.

About two weeks ago, a huge spaceship descended from the sky and landed on Silver Island.

The Night Elves and the Alliance immediately contacted them. They are a type of creature that uses Holy Light, and although they look very similar to Eredar demons, they call themselves Draenei.

Based on the intelligence they have received, they have decided to join the alliance.

Thrall wasn't very familiar with this race, but many members of the tribe knew them because they had lived together in the past.

Living on a planet called Draenor, these Draenei possess highly advanced technology and are skilled in using Holy Light energy.

After they joined the Alliance, they brought a lot to the Alliance, especially to the Paladin and Priest classes, which saw a new round of improvements.

This greatly enhanced the alliance's combat strength. Now, the Horde is also in dire need of finding allies. The Blood Elves were indeed very powerful, but that was in the past.

The blood elves, under the leadership of Regent Lor'themar, are barely clinging to life, and joining the Horde is merely a means to seek its protection.

Moreover, it is said that Kael'thas, the prince, or rather the king, of the blood elves has sided with a demon named Illidan, which is not a good thing.

Now, in a completely new world, a group of allies from another world have expressed goodwill towards the tribe, and he has no reason not to accept it.

After all, we can't just push them to the side of the alliance, can we?

“That’s right, Great Chieftain. We come from another world and want to live in peace with the races here, so we need a reliable ally,” Rhodes said.

"Mr. Rhodes, and Mr. Kaido, you have shown the Horde enough friendliness. The Horde family welcomes you," Thrall said, opening his arms.

Orcs are actually quite poor and struggle to survive in the world of Azeroth, so they welcome any ally they have.

"So, Chief, you agree to our forces joining the tribe?" Rhodes asked.

"That's right, all members of the tribe are family, and we can discuss everything together. We are not like the Alliance."

"Everyone must obey the king's orders. We are on the defensive and offensive, but there is no superior-subordinate relationship between us. The Great Chieftain only decides the future direction of the tribe and some major matters," Thrall said.

This was a rule he established when he first founded the tribe. Although the chieftain was nominally the supreme commander of the tribe, he could only decide on the general direction of the tribe's development and could not interfere in the internal affairs between tribes.

Joining the Horde has many advantages. At least some beings, even if they know about the Dark Portal, won't dare to mess with them anymore. Such a large Dark Portal can't be kept secret. Moreover, in the future, Rhodes can lead the Horde to fight the World Government.

Rhodes doesn't mind having too many allies when it comes to dealing with the World Government.

After joining the tribe, if Wano Country is attacked, the tribe will have an obligation to help. In the future, after Thrall abdicates, Rod could even incite Kaido to compete with Garrosh for the position of chieftain of the tribe.

To make Kaido the chieftain of the tribe, Rhodes had previously asked Sylvanas about it, and the queen said that she did not want to compete for the position of chieftain of the tribe.

So Kaido could join, and he was quite happy to do so. Rhodes didn't have any good way to achieve a very high status.

But joining a tribe is completely different, offering more benefits and more opportunities.

"Now that you've joined the Horde, if there's anything we orcs can help you with, just let us know," Thrall said.

"Great Chieftain! It's me and my father-in-law Kaido."

You can feel a wild power that seems to enhance our bodies.

"So I would like to ask you to help us find a top-tier beastmaster hunter and then infuse our bodies with the power of the wild," Rhodes said.

Another goal of this trip is to learn the power of the wilderness, a brand-new power that can make both himself and Kaido stronger.

"Wild Power? You mean the kind of power that orcs exert on their pet companions?" a tauren standing nearby asked.

"That's right! It's this power that allows my father-in-law and me to transform into a gigantic divine beast and manipulate the four elemental powers of nature. This power of the wilderness can increase our combat strength," Rhodes said.

"Mr. Rhodes! If you can truly accept the power of the wilderness and transform into a gigantic divine beast that manipulates elemental forces, then there's absolutely no need to seek help from the hunters. Or perhaps you two actually have another identity," the minotaur said.

"What does this mean, sir minotaur?" Rhodes asked.

"I am a druid, Mr. Rhodes, the kind of power that beastmaster hunters use to grant their beasts the power of the wild."

It actually comes from the power of demigods, the power of the wilderness demigods, but for some reason, the beasts are simply unable to unleash this power to its fullest potential.

As far as I know, only powerful beasts that have been blessed by the Blue Media of Azeroth can receive the baptism of the wild's power and become a wild demigod.

The Pandaria call them Celestials, and the Night Elves call them Demigods. They are the representatives of life in Azeroth and the gods of nature.

As long as Azeroth is not destroyed, no matter how many times you are killed, you can be resurrected in the Emerald Dream.

"You two, have you heard a mysterious voice calling to you or a new power wanting to enter your bodies?" the Tauren Druid asked excitedly.

Mythical beasts can also manipulate elemental power and have an intense thirst for the power of the wild! This is not the phenomenon of any hunter companion.

These two are likely wild demigods from another world. If they accept the wild power injected by the Azerothian star soul, their life levels may change.

To become a true demigod of the wilderness, one must enter the Emerald Dream and establish a deep connection with Azeroth.

Upon hearing this, Rod was also taken aback. He hadn't heard the voice himself, but Kaido had.

Although it was vague, they did feel that manipulating elemental forces had become much easier.

Could it be that the Azerothian world-soul has taken a liking to him, this transmigrator, and wants him to become a demigod of the wilderness?

"You two, can you transform into your divine beast forms? I can help you establish contact with the Emerald Dream. If you wish, you can undergo the Emerald Dream's baptism, truly gain the power of the wilderness, and become demigods," the druid said.

This feeling grew stronger and stronger, even the Emerald Dream was urging him, the Azerothian Star-Soul, to become Wildlands Demigods.
