Azeroth: Starting with Eagle Eye in the Necropolis.

Their union made Kul Tiras more stable, and the four great houses all submitted to them.

But if the two of them divorce, things will become unpredictable, the four great families may split again, and Kul Tiras will no longer be a united whole.

This is not just a family issue, but a national one. For so many years, he has hardened his heart and refused to see his daughter, all to protect Kul Tiras.

The female mage fell silent upon hearing this. Her father was right; although Kul Tiras was called a kingdom, it did not have the title of king.

He was more like a large alliance, with his father as the leader and his mother wielding considerable power. If his mother knew all this, she would be furious.

The worst-case scenario is that he will divorce his father, but there is also a high probability that he will forgive his father. After all, she was the woman before him, not after him, so strictly speaking, his mother is the third party.

As Jaina looked at her father's face, which seemed to have aged several years in an instant, her anger was gradually replaced by a complex bitterness. The father she had always admired was not without flaws; he also had a past and made mistakes that no one knew about.

“I think you should tell your mother that she has the right to know the truth, and like you said, Father, this happened before you and my mother met, so she will forgive you,” Gianna said, taking a deep breath.

“I also feel that now is not the time to tell your mother all this. Kul Tiras cannot be divided. Let’s just consider this a white lie, Gina,” Rhodes said as he stepped forward.

Upon hearing this, the female mage looked at Rhodes with a very unfriendly expression, as if to say, "You're having an affair with some elf too."

“If you absolutely must tell your mother about this, then it’s best to choose a joyous day and tell her when she’s in a very good mood,” Rod said, rubbing his nose.

“Gina, your boyfriend is right. When you two get married, have your mother come. I will explain this to her in person,” Dalin said.

The female mage finally sighed helplessly and nodded. Indeed, as the two men said, if her mother found out everything, then things would be beyond repair.

For the sake of the entire alliance, for the sake of Kul Tiras, I must help that bastard father hide these things.

"Kid, the way you proved your 'prophecy' is indeed... ruthless."

That's right, that brat's prophecy almost got him killed. Who knows if he has any other prophecies? Dealing with someone who knows all your secrets isn't comfortable.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes smiled without saying a word. Actually, this matter wasn't difficult to resolve. He could bring it up when he and Jaina held their wedding, when his mother-in-law was at her happiest. After all, strictly speaking, Catherine was the third party.

“Okay, I admit, you might actually be able to see some things that we can’t. So, how much specific information do you know about the Twilight’s Hammer and Cho’gall? Where might they be hiding right now?” Daelin was trying to quickly change the subject before discussing this one, as he was afraid of being sent away.

Now it's time to talk about this special organization that's trying to instigate war between the Alliance and the Horde.

"Cho'gall is a cunning two-headed ogre who joined a doomsday orc race during Draenor and learned shadow magic from them."

The Twilight's Hammer cult he led was a diverse mix of races, their strongholds typically hidden in remote locations such as deep mountains, caves, or swamps, and they recklessly expanded their ranks. Rhodes walked to the map of Kalimdor hanging on the wall and pointed to the area where Dustwallow Marsh met the Barrens.

The Twilight's Hammer's activities are mainly concentrated on the continent of Kalimdor, but finding these guys isn't easy; they're very well hidden.

Actually, this matter would be much easier if a female mage were willing to help. There is a powerful figure living in seclusion near Theramore; the previous Guardian, Aegwynn, is still alive.

Moreover, in the next few years, this legendary figure will die in a battle with Cho'gall. To be honest, it's a bit unrealistic for the famous Guardian, who once defeated Sargeras in the form of Aegwynn, to die at the hands of Cho'gall. This collection is a bit hasty. Rhodes intends to change this situation and let Jaina successfully become his apprentice.

The reason why Jaina became one of the top mages in Azeroth in the future is largely due to this person. He even sealed a portion of the Guardian's magic power within Jaina's body, allowing her strength to leap from an ordinary mage to the realm of a legendary mage.

"So how do we find them? Rhodes, your prophetic abilities are amazing. Do you know where they are? Just tell me their location, and I'll go and fight them." the admiral said.

"Please, Father-in-law, language ability isn't as simple as you think. It's not something I can just see whenever I want. My ability is prophecy, not traveling through time to the future and seeing everything." If you want to know everything, you have to find the Bronze Dragon. Actually, Rhodes was quite puzzled by the Bronze Dragon's existence.

At the beginning of his transmigration, Rhodes was actually very wary of the bronze dragons, fearing that one day these bronze-colored dragons would suddenly appear and say, "You villain who destroys time, die!"

Then, out of nowhere, a group of adventurers appeared and attacked him. For a time, Rhode even believed that he was being protected by the Eternal Dragon Lock.

After all, to some extent, he and the Eternal Dragons were natural allies, the kind that are extremely close. It wasn't until he arrived on the continent of Kalimdor and had more and more powerful units around him that Rhodes stopped fearing these bronze dragons.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

“Just do nothing, continue as before. As for investigating Gugal, leave that to Rexxar and the others. My biggest goal in coming back this time is to stop this war,” Rhodes said.

The claim that Cho'gall was just a pretext, Rhodes suspected that the real instigator of the war between the Horde and the Alliance was a certain archbishop in Stormwind, or even that the Black Dragon Princess was involved.

The Alliance's resurgence is not what these shadow-worshipping individuals want to see, so they want to instigate a war between the Alliance and the Horde. High Priest Benitas, who worships the Old God N'Zoth, has no problem allocating some Naga to him from his own ranks. At the same time, the old man can also gather a group of humans, as there are quite a few humans within the Church of Twilight.

On the contrary, Gul'dan had few human followers. Humans looked down on ogres, considering them nothing more than a bunch of beasts with no civilization whatsoever.

Moreover, before Rhodes led the refugees from Lordaeron to Kalimdor, there was no trace of humans on the continent, so he naturally could not recruit any human subordinates.

But Rhodes planned to do this secretly, and now was not the time to expose that Archbishop Benitas was the leader of the Shadow Church.

"How is that possible? These guys framed us on their own, how could I? Instead of investigating them, I'm handing them over to the orcs to investigate? Are you insulting me, kid?" Clearly, Rhodes' suggestion greatly displeased his father-in-law.

“Father-in-law, I can’t go into the details, but just know that you shouldn’t get involved. Leave the rest to me,” Rhodes said, shaking his head.

“Rhodes, I think Lord Uther is right about something he said: sometimes you can’t put all the burdens on your own shoulders. Sometimes you can choose to trust us,” Jaina said.

“I understand what you mean, but to be honest, it’s not a good thing for you to know too much. Gina and I are going to Stormwind City next, and I will explain everything to you there,” Rhodes said.

This time, they successfully prevented their father-in-law from being killed, and the situation in the tribe has temporarily stabilized. Now both sides know who is behind this, and as long as they are careful, there shouldn't be any major problems.

However, just in case, Rhodes kept the hero, Soye, who had just returned to his side. With the great mage Soye by his side, his father-in-law's safety would be more assured.

At the same time, Rhodes also summoned a new hero from his tavern, his fourth hero, a barbarian hero named Klorin from the stronghold.

Klorin was originally just a commoner, but he was particularly good at commanding ogres, so he was recruited into the army. In terms of appearance, he was a green-skinned orc through and through.

This person has only one task: to join the tribe.

Chapter 262 Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Ogre = Orc, a hero skilled in Orc combat.

Klorin appears in the game Heroes of Might and Magic III. As a tavern hero, he looks exactly like an orc.

In the world of Heroes of Might and Magic, among the barbarian units, the only one similar to the orcs is the ogre. Although called an ogre, it is completely different from the familiars of the world of Azeroth, and is instead very similar to the orcs.

This character has 6 initial attributes: 4 attack, 0 defense, and 1 knowledge and 1 strength. The hero's specialty is Ogre. After reaching level 4, each level up will increase the attack and defense of the ogres or ogre kings in the army.

The character comes with an offensive skill and a basic magic resistance, and it is very easy to learn defensive skills and tactical skills.

His troops were also typical barbarian type: a few big-eared monsters, a few wolf riders, and a few orcs.

The Barbarian faction in Heroes of Might and Magic is very similar to the Horde, the Big Ears are similar to the Goblins, and the Orcs are taller than the Big Ears, but still can't compare to the Orcs.

The big-eared monster and the orc are two pieces of trash, with a combat strength of less than five. Whenever Rhode sees these guys in the refugee camp, he recruits them directly and then turns them into skeletons, which is more cost-effective.

The race that is truly similar to orcs is the ogres, a tall, green monster. These guys are highly skilled, have high defense, and high health, especially the Ogre King, who, although only a level 4 unit, has 60 health points.

Among Tier 4 units, it is top-tier, or even the highest-tier. It also has a special ability: it can cast Bloodlust on its friendly units, which is equivalent to a mid-tier spell and lasts for 6 rounds.

Among the barbarian faction, the true leaders are the ogres and the wolf warriors, followed by the eagle, also known as the thunderbird. This creature is extremely powerful among tier 5 units, and it is very fast. When it attacks, it also has a chance to trigger a lightning strike.

If you can trigger the Thunderbolt skill even once, it's a huge win, and it will make the enemy extremely happy. As for the Cyclops, that kind of trash can go find somewhere cool to stay.

Although the Behemoth, the top-tier unit, has low attack and defense, it is terrifyingly lethal and can reduce the enemy's defense by 80% in a single attack. In a one-on-one duel, few units can defeat the Behemoth head-on.

In the previous refugee camp, Rhodes also drew some barbarian units, and now he can give all of these units to this new hero!

In addition, Rhodes also allowed the new hero to visit several special buildings in the city: the arena, the mercenary camp, the Marit Tower, and the magic academy, to increase his four main attributes.

Build up his attack and defense.

Rhodes didn't send him to the academy in Elemental City to learn the four magic systems. He was a pure warrior-type hero, so learning level one and two magic was enough. He could focus on leveling up other skills, especially melee combat.

To fully unleash his melee prowess, this barbarian hero will surely gain the orcs' trust, given that his appearance isn't too different from that of the orcs in the world of Azeroth.

Rhodes planned to send this Stone Golem hero to the Orc tribe to see if he could improve the Orcs' attack and defense by leading them. He was sure to have a bright future in the tribe and might even be able to compete for the position of chieftain, since he had Rhodes as his master behind the scenes.

Moreover, it is entirely feasible to gain the support of the Forsaken race from birth.

"Go, Chlorin. Head to the Barrens and find the orc capital city under construction—Orgrimmar. Your strength and appearance, the bravery of your warriors, and especially these powerful 'ogre' brethren, will be your best stepping stones. Thrall is a wise leader; he will see your value." Rhodes secretly summoned the hero outside Theramore.

This is a giant who is 2.8 meters tall, with explosive green muscles and an extremely strong physique. He is wearing a suit of iron armor from the previous era and carrying a huge spiked club.

Klorin shouldered his battle axe and let out a deep roar, which was echoed by the ogres behind him, and the dire wolves of the wolf riders also howled.

"For the glory of the tribe! Rest assured, great master, I will follow your orders and join the tribe," Chlorin growled in the words he had just learned.

"Haha, not bad, not bad, you've learned that slogan quite well. Yes, that's how you shout it: For the Horde!" Rhodes nodded with great satisfaction.

This kid learns pretty quickly. Klorin's strength is quite good. Hopefully, he can complete his mission.

After seeing off his new hero, Hey Kinar talked with his father and spent two days with Rhodes in Theramore.

Only then did they decide to return to the Kingdom of Lordaeron. This time, they could not stay in the Kingdom of Lordaeron for long, but instead headed to Stormwind.

Inform King Varian that he must acknowledge Grand Marshal Rhodes's identity and rejoin the Alliance to fulfill his duties, as well as attend Her Highness the Princess's coronation ceremony.

"I really wish you could stay a few more days, my daughter." The old father said with deep emotion as he watched Gianna leave.

He had only met his daughter for two days and she was about to leave him. To be honest, no father would have a good time with a man who took away his little darling.

“Father, don’t worry. Rhodes and I are skilled in teleportation magic, and Rhodes’ magic power is very strong now. If I miss you, I can use teleportation magic to come back and see you at any time,” Jaina said with a smile.

With the mastery of Guardian-level teleportation magic, he and Rhodes could return to the continent of Kalimdor or the Eastern Kingdoms at any time without having to take a ship and spend a month at sea or more than half a month flying, making travel extremely convenient.

The mages of Dalaran are refining teleportation spells and are said to be creating a special hearthstone that can be used anywhere within Alliance territory covered by the magic network.

You can bind this teleportation device to a tavern. If an adventurer encounters any situation while adventuring in the wild, they can use this hearthstone to teleport back to the inn in the initial town they are bound to.

Once this special magical hearthstone is completed, travel between the two continents will become much more frequent.

“I know, but sometimes I still think you should take good care of my daughter. Kid, if I find out you dare to bully her, I won’t let you off the hook,” the admiral said to Rhodes.

“Don’t worry, father-in-law, I can do it without you telling me. By the way, you must make good use of those magic ships I taught you. They are truly amazing things, created using Titan technology, with enormous internal spaces.” Rhodes’s father-in-law nodded and said.

During this meeting with his father-in-law, Rhode also handed over several of his special space magic ships to his father-in-law so that he could use them.

"Don't worry, we Kul Tirans are the most skilled seafarers. I know how valuable your magical ships are. They are indeed good things, and I am very happy that you gave them to me. Come to Kul Tiras when you have time, and I will personally entertain you. I can show you the customs and culture of Kul Tiras." Daelin nodded to Rhodes and said.

“Then it’s a deal, Father-in-law. Please take good care of yourself,” Rod said with a smile and a nod.

I don't think I need you to carry me through version 8.0 when I go to Kul Tiras. I've done quests in Kul Tiras and Zandalar, I've been to every place and territory.

Moreover, I have personally carried out many of Kul Tiras’ secrets and missions. However, if the Admiral had not died, Kul Tiras would not have become the chaotic place it is today.

"Alright, you two can set off now. Don't worry, I won't get into any more conflicts with the orcs."

Rhodes and Jaina nodded to Daelin, then the teleportation spell they cast disappeared in a flash of blue light, leaving Theramore and returning to the Eastern Kingdoms.

........................

At the same time that Rhodes and Jaina left Theramore, Rexxar, Chen Stormstout, and Rokhan returned to Durotar and reported their meeting with Rhodes to Warchief Thrall.

In the Valley of Wisdom in Orgrimmar, Thrall listened attentively to the three men's stories, a thoughtful expression on his face.

“Rhodes… he has reappeared and prevented a potential war, and his mention of the Twilight's Hammer and the Old Gods… is unsettling.”

"If Cho'gall has truly found the so-called 'true god' and attempts to destroy Azeroth, then that would be a far more terrifying threat than the Admiral's hatred."

“That human mage (Rhodes) wasn’t lying,” Chen Stormbringer said, taking a swig of his liquor and wiping his mouth.

"The kind of shadow power he mentioned is also described in our Pandaren records, and he also correctly named another Old God, Y'Shaarj."

This is an ancient legend circulating in Pandaria. It is said that after this guy died, he turned into seven extremely terrifying Sha. However, this is a Pandaria legend, and the Wandering Isle only has some records of it.
