My Frostmourne can't be so cute

Arthas didn't reluctantly said, "Then, Chief, are you going to choose to work in the lumberyard?" Uther was also a little sorry, after all, the orc warriors were still very good.However, Drektal's next choice surprised everyone, because the old chief shook his head again and said, "I'm sorry, I can only choose to fight with you."

Tirion Fording was very puzzled. He even felt betrayed. He had worked so hard, even if he was misunderstood by his companions, but in the end it was the rejection of the orcs?Tirion couldn't help but questioned loudly: "Why? Do you still think you have a chance? You would rather destroy the clan and fight us?"

Drek'tal nodded apologetically to Tirion. From the few words Shattered Tooth shouted just now, the old chief knew that Tirion was the one who healed Cracked Tooth, and he could learn from Tirion’s words and actions. Feel his kindness towards the orcs.Drek'tal said to Uther who was equally puzzled: "Do you know why our clan was exiled?"

Uther waved to Tirion Fording, who was a little excited, and signaled him to calm down, because Uther was more interested in this orc clan who had lived in the mountains for several years. He hoped to find some from the words of the old chief. A clue about the orc army.Drektal was silent for a while, seeming to be recalling the details of the past, after a long time, he slowly spoke.

"I know that the enmity between humans and orcs is no longer enough, but I hope you understand that orcs are not cruel and bloodthirsty from the day they were born. Although in your opinion, many of our customs are still Barbaric, but most of our people believe in the peaceful and natural way of shamanism. Compared with killing and war, we enjoy the process of communicating with the spirit of the elements." Drek'Thar defended his people. .

Uther sneered, and the upright Paladin rarely showed his disdain: "No matter how you defend it, you can't change the fact that your orcs invaded our homeland." Drek'Thal looked a little bit when he heard Uther's words. Grey, nodded and said: "Yes, this is indisputable. In fact, before we invaded your world, we had carried out a lot of bloody and barbaric killings..." Although Drek'Thar talked endlessly, But his eyes were blurred, and he was completely sinking into the remembrance and regret of the past.

"At that time, in our hometown, we were not the only race of orcs. There were also a group of neighbors who called themselves draenei. Their civilization was more advanced than ours, so we often used some minerals and food to trade armor and weapons to them. In ancient legends, our two races have lived together peacefully for hundreds of years..." The memory of the old chief stopped, his face showing guilt and self-blame.Vereesa listened for a long time, and finally heard a little way, and interrupted: "Later, you must have slaughtered those draenei people clean, right? Then came to violate our world again, huh, it was simply A group of butchers, are they still trying to beautify themselves?" The ranger of the high elf was not polite at all, and did not have the consciousness of respecting the old man at all.

Chapter 53: Orcs, never slaves

After hearing Vereesa’s taunts, Drek'Thar did not refute, and continued: “Suddenly one day, all the orc shamans can no longer communicate with the elemental spirits. Under the panic, the warchief at that time declared , Our shamanism is out of control because of the draenei’s conspiracy. At that time, many panicked shamans turned to shadow spells in order to avenge the draenei. Finally, in our clan’s Under the leadership of Chief Durotan, the orc army destroyed all the draenei cities and slaughtered them clean."

The old chief took a breath and continued with the contempt of the surrounding gaze: "Although our patriarch Durotan does not want to start a war with the draenei, he understands that once the war starts, it cannot be undone. If you want the draenei, People cannot retaliate, so they can only destroy their defenses as quickly as possible. However, Durotan's army was stubbornly blocked under the walls of Shattrath, the largest city of the Draenei, and countless orcs were dropped from the sky by golden The light swallowed, and even the bones turned into nothingness. At this moment, the chief's counsellor, a guy named Gul'dan, provided us with a green potion, claiming to make our warriors stronger and brave. At that time, the orcs The first warrior in the game, Grom Hellscream took the lead in drinking the potion, because he could not resist anything that could make him stronger. Later, almost all the orcs drank the potion, their eyes It became blood red, and his complexion turned green. Durotan refused to drink the potion because he felt an evil aura from it. Since then, the Frostwolf clan has withdrawn from the orc tribe, and the portal is still unstable At that time, we were driven to be the forerunner and came to your world. However, after passing through the portal, our chief led us into seclusion in this valley. It has been almost six years now."

Drek'tal said a bunch of words in one breath, then paused again to catch his breath.Vereesa was addicted to the story, and when he saw the old orc stopped, he said dissatisfiedly: "What then? Why doesn't your chief agree to drink that kind of potion? Also, where is your chief now?"

Drek'Thar said sadly: "Our chief, he discovered that the green liquid is not a potion, but the demon blood that Gul'dan got from evil demon. The orcs who drank the blood, Will become violent, irritable, and bloodthirsty. Although they easily destroyed the last city of the draenei, Shattrath, Durotan asserted that this was just the beginning of the orcs’ miserable life. So our chief came from this valley Set off, go to warn those compatriots who have passed through the portal to stop fighting with humans as soon as possible. However, it has been nearly four years since he left the clan, and our patriarch has not returned...and we have to continue Wait here."

Tirion Fording couldn't help asking: "The reason why you are unwilling to move to the north to work in a logging mill is because you are here to wait for your chief to return? Don't worry about this. I will send someone to keep paying attention. Here, if he comes back, I can notify you."

Drektal shook his head and said, "This is not the reason we don't want to go to the lumberyard. Back then, I asked Durotan why he would rather be banished than let our people, like other orcs, drink that. Devil’s blood. Durotan told me that the orcs belonged to the orcs from the moment they were born. We can fight for our honor, we can fight for our faith, we can fight for our people, we can fight for the chief. He went against his own wishes and went to slaughter other races, because all of this was fighting for the orcs. But what about the orcs who drank the blood of the devil? Although they were unprecedentedly powerful, they were no longer free. From drinking the blood. From one day on, they can only fight for the devil and become the slaves of the devil. Therefore, our chief, would rather the people die of freezing and starvation on the migration road than they would live on as slaves of the devil. Today, if I agree Your condition is to take your tribe to the north to log wood. What is the difference between that and those compatriots who drank the blood of the devil?"

Uther frowned and said, "You mean, you would rather let all the people die here than go to work in the lumberyard?" Drektal nodded and tried to straighten the somewhat rickety back. Back, he said loudly: "I'd rather fight to death than steal a living. Orcs, never be slaves!"

Seeing that Drek'tal was determined, Uther waved his hand and said, "Very well, since you insist on fighting, then as you wish. I will give you ten minutes to prepare the army, ten In minutes, we will launch an attack. As for the outcome of this battle, whether your people can continue to survive... I hope you understand that everything is your own choice." The meaning of Uther’s words is very clear. After the battle, a massacre seemed inevitable.

Arthas felt helpless-all the ideas on the road were in vain.Arthas originally planned to try to reduce some killings as much as possible this time, because in the original time flow, he already understood that killings could not solve any problems.But now, it seems that peace is not that simple... Alsace was lost in thought.

The old orc Drek'tal bowed slightly towards Uther, and when everyone thought he was going to salute, the old orc suddenly rushed towards Arthas.Uther had just reacted to stop, the "freezing technique" released by the mage Khadgar had just condensed into an arcane ball in his hand, and Tirion Fording's two-handed sword just hit the sky in the snow hill. On the ground, Vereesa’s longbow had just been handed-all four of them responded quickly, but it was too late. Drektal had already held Arthas in his arms, with one hand strangled in his arms. On the prince's throat.

Uther was shocked and shouted angrily: "Damn orc, what are you going to do!" Mage Khadgar's spell was ready, but Drek'Thar had already blocked Arthas in front of him. , Mage Khadgar had to remove the "freeze technique" in his hand, regretting that he did not use the mass character but cast a faster "Frost Nova".

Vereesa was holding her longbow nervously, but Drektal blocked his face with Alsace's body.Vereesa wanted to shoot at the old orc's legs, but worried that it would not be fatal and would give him a chance to hurt the little kid.Since Alsace's passionate persuasion speech just now, Vereesa's impression of this little kid has changed dramatically-after all, women like men with sharp lips (children?), whether in bed or under the bed.

Chapter 54 The Angry Mograine

Vereesa looked anxious, but Arthas was calmer, as if it was not him but someone else who was kidnapped.Tirion Fording was in the most embarrassing situation, after all, he proposed to negotiate with the orcs, and Drek'Thar and Splittooth were also brought to the snow hill by him.Not to mention that if Alsace had any accident, Maddenhold Castle would change its owner, Tirion alone would not be able to pass the guilt in his heart.

The paladins under the snow hill have noticed the abnormal movement on the snow hill.Even as soon as Uther's roar came out, Splittooth had been crushed to the ground by the two Paladins.Although Splittooth is the current first warrior of the Frostwolf clan, the original Lordaeron Royal Guard is not a vegetarian. With one enemy and two, Splittooth has no room for resistance. The huge green head is directly pressed on. In the thick snow on the ground.

Cracked Tooth raised his head vigorously, and just about to struggle, two sharp knight swords had been inserted on both sides of his head, sandwiching his neck like a pair of scissors.Although Cracked Tooth had fought many battles, it was the first time that he was held hostage like this. The cold blade exuded a chill, and it seemed to have cut the skin of his neck.For a time, Cleft Teeth was a little bit dare to move.

Alexandros Mograine had already rushed up the snow hill with a group of Paladins and saw Prince Arthas being held captive. The first reaction was to yell at Uther and others: "You trash , How can the prince be held hostage by the orcs?" In a hurry, even Mage Khadgar and Uther scolded together.

Tirion Fording jerked at Mograine and signaled that he was going too far, but Mograine, who was already flushed, broke away and pointed to Tirion’s nose and said angrily: “Tiri Oh, you still have the face to pull me? If it weren't for you to negotiate with the orcs, the prince would be in danger? If something really happened, I would strike you first!"

Tirion touched his nose and didn't say anything in a whisper-after all, things happened because of him, and he did not protect Prince Arthas effectively. Mograine insisted on putting all the responsibility on his head. Said in the past.Mograine then turned to Vereesa, who was holding the bowstring nervously, and shouted at her: "Trash, aren't you sent by the nerd wizards in Dalaran to protect His Royal Highness? You are not very good at your own skill. Are you confident? You can't do this well. A woman is really a burden on the battlefield! Can't you even stand next to His Royal Highness?"

Vereesa was already nervous about Alsace's safety. When Mograine yelled at him, the little girl's fragile will completely collapsed. Although she was still stubbornly pulling the bowstring, but the big teardrops had disappeared. The cheeks rolled down—fortunately, although Alterac Valley was covered with snow all year round, the climate was not cold. Otherwise, if Vereesa’s tears had frozen on his face, it would ruin a perfect face.

When Mograine came up, he scolded everyone on the snow hill again, seeming to be extremely angry and shirking responsibility everywhere.But Arthas, who was idle and not nervous at all, saw a bit of the doorway-although Mograine seemed to catch someone and scold someone like a fly without his head, his feet were tempted towards himself. While moving, the amplitude of the movement was extremely small, but it was indeed a few steps away from him.

However, just when Mograine wanted to get closer, a group of colorful light burst out from behind Drektal, and a huge columnar phantom gradually formed behind him.Mograine was taken aback by the vision, and he dared not act. He looked towards the mage Khadgar in search-although whether as a warrior or a paladin, Alexandros Mograine Nidu looked down on the weak mage very much, but had to admit that these guys were quite knowledgeable.

The facial expression of the mage Khadgar became ugly-although he had not dealt with the shaman, and did not understand the characteristics and principles of the shaman's spelling or combat, but the space distortion brought by the columnar light and shadow It is too strong, and this usually means a huge amount of energy-of course, the mage of Khadgar still lacks understanding of the shaman. This columnar light and shadow is a totem formed by Drek'tar gathering nearby elemental spirits Zhu, although the energy is huge, the power that the old orc can use from it is limited after all.

Seeing Mage Khadgar shook his head slightly at himself, Mograine had to give up his plan to snatch His Royal Highness from the old orc.Drektal held Alsace in his arms, took a step back vigilantly, and warned everyone on the snowy hills: "I have only one request, and that is to let our people go. After that, I will let the little child go. ."

Mograine was slightly surprised that an orc could speak fluent lingua franca. Before Uther hadn't spoken, he rushed to refuse and said, "No, what if you go back then?" Drake Taer looked upright—if the expression could be seen on that hideous face—and said, "I can swear in the name of the elements."

Mograine did not participate in the negotiation, nor did he pay attention to what the people on the snow mound were talking about under the snow mound. He thought that the negotiation had not started, and this old orc kidnapped his prince. He shook his head and went to the snow. He spit on the ground and said: "We invited you to negotiate, but you are holding our prince. Now you want me to believe what you say? Do you think I'm as stupid as Tirion?" Tirion Fording Unexpectedly, I was within the scope of Mograine's insulting "AOE" (group attack), opened his mouth, and finally did not say anything, silently admitted Mograine's statement-in Drektal After turning his face and holding Prince Arthas, Tirion did feel that his previous thoughts were too optimistic.

Seeing that Mograine didn't believe his words, Drektal knew there was nothing left to talk about.But since this little child is the prince of mankind, then these guards will definitely compromise with themselves. The problem is only to make their prince pay some price.Just when Drektal was about to make Alsace suffer and force the humans on the opposite side to submit, Alsace suddenly said: "Chief, I want to ask you a question. Where did you learn the common language?"

The people on the entire snow hill were stunned--the sentence Alsace asked was like asking a vendor at a market, if these two things are packaged and bought, can it be as natural as two copper coins cheaper--but , A ten-year-old child, when being held hostage by a hideous green-skin monster, is calmness what he should do?

Drek'tal was also a little dazed. The arm muscles that had secretly slackened and replied: "It's the elemental spirit. Through communication with the elemental spirit, I can easily learn human language." Arthas nodded. Said: "Then you can also learn the languages ​​of other races?" Drektal nodded, some do not understand what Alsace asked about this sentence.

Chapter 55 The Undefeatable Freeze Technique and Foundation Totem

Arthas asked this sentence, in fact, out of curiosity, for no other reason, he quickly asked the second question: "I heard that some shamans can gain the ability to create the world by communicating with the spirit of the elements. Ability, have you ever seen such a shaman?" Drek'Thar was taken aback-the spirit of the element of shaman communication, although it is known as the four basic elements of "earth, fire and fengshui" that make up the world, he has never listened to it. Having said that, which shaman can use these four basic elements to create the world?

Just as Arthas asked Drektal about the shaman, Mograine admired the wit of the prince in his heart, and wanted to secretly attack this by taking advantage of Drektal’s distraction. An old orc.However, what moves faster than Mograine is the "freeze technique" of Master Khadgar.

There was no sound. Everyone on the snow hill saw only a light blue hockey puck, which appeared strangely in front of Drektal, pasting his arm that strangled Alsace’s neck, Ka The Dega mage shouted: "This is a'freeze technique', his arm will temporarily lose consciousness, take the opportunity to snatch Arthas back!"

Hearing Khadgar's shout, Mograine's reaction was the fastest, with a golden "Holy Shield" appearing on his body, his feet slammed on the ground, and his sturdy figure flew forward. , A pile of snow was left behind-as long as Prince Arthas could be grabbed, Mograine would immediately turn around and use his back to resist the attack that the old orc might follow.

However, at the moment when Master Khadgar's freezing technique was shot, he keenly felt the huge energy fluctuations in the light and shadow behind Drek'Thar.The energy fluctuation this time was so rapid that the mage Khadgar just wanted to call out Mograine to be careful, and the mutation had already happened.

The light blue hockey puck had just touched Drek'tal's arm, and before it had any effect, the cylindrical phantom behind the old orc flashed a white light, and then the hockey puck bounced back. Hit Mograine's chest, who was rushing forward-luckily the Paladin had just blessed the "Holy Shield", so the puck just hit the outside of the aperture, causing a ripple and then dissipating, but Mograine A joint operation with Master Khadgar to save Prince Arthas also failed.

The mage Khadgar's brows were tightly furrowed, and he didn't understand what was wrong. The hockey puck just now seemed to be just a small "freeze technique", and even some talented apprentices could cast it, but they It is absolutely impossible to be as silent as Khadgar mage-this ice hockey is formed by Khadgar mage stretching his hand behind his back and quietly condensing; not only has he never recited a spell, but has never been thrown out.

The reason why the hockey puck can appear next to Drek'Thal is entirely because the mage Khadgar used space magic on the hockey puck and transmitted it out of thin air. There was no sound or sign in the whole process, even weak magic. The fluctuations were all blocked by the mage Khadgar with empty magic—then, how did the old orc, who was obviously distracted just now, bounce the puck back in a short span of time?

The people on the snow hill did not know the goods because they had never seen a shaman; but Arthas was different. The Lich King Ner'zhul, who was swallowed up by Frostmourne, was the most powerful orc family in history. Shaman: Although Arthas had no interest in reading his huge memories, he still had some basic understanding of the shaman.

As a shaman, Ner'zhul's dream is to build a new world by controlling the four basic elements of "Earth, Fire, and Fengshui", and he himself will become the god of that world.It's a pity that he was unlucky and was targeted by the Burning Legion, and finally became the Lich King trapped in a big ice box.

In fact, after becoming the Lich King, Ner'zhul still retains his dream of becoming a god, but this time he is even more unlucky. His body has long since disappeared, and even his soul has been swallowed up completely by Frostmourne. The bottom land disappeared from the world.The reason why Arthas asked the question "Is there a shaman who can create the world" is also because of Ner'zhul-but from Drektal's answer, it seems that Ner'zhul, the former Saman The full dream is indeed not very reliable.

Judging from the color of the light emitted from the totem just now and the effect after it was cast, Arthas was already certain that this was the "foundation totem" that Drektal had prepared in advance.This totem is a kind of wind attribute totem, and Drek'Thar used to entangle the snowman that day is the "earth bound totem", which is a kind of earth attribute totem.Although the "Foundation Totem" can bounce a magic attack, it needs to gather a large number of wind attribute elements. The cast time is not only long, but the conditions are very harsh.

Arthas thought that Drek'tal would not have the ability to cast the "Foundation Totem" for a long time. Just now, it should be a means of pressing the bottom of the box used by the old orcs to save their lives. A small hockey puck of the Master Khadgar was cracked by mistake-Arthas asked himself if he knew a little about the attack methods of the wizard, but he really couldn't understand how the Master Khadgar made the puck quiet It appeared silently in such a strange position.

After the failure of the joint action between Mograine and the Khadgar mage, some of them were afraid to act rashly; Drektal was in a cold sweat. If he hadn't used the extremely expensive "foundation totem", he might now Already in a different place.Knowing that he could no longer despise the mages and these warriors (in fact, they were Paladins) in front of him, Drek'Thar decided to give them a little bit of color—of course it was on Arthas.

While watching the lively Frostmourne had already yawned, from the moment Arthas was held hostage, she wanted to kill Drektal directly.However, Arthas never gave her any orders, and Frostmourne was also happy.But now, Little Demon Sword was finally unhappy, and said, "Master, let me kill this orc! You have been caught in his arm for so long, what if you become stinky?"

Hearing Frostmourne’s words, Arthas was taken aback—he hadn’t noticed the problem until Frostmourne raised it, and he regretted it—God knows this old orc has been in Alterac Valley for several years. Never had a bath!The more Arthas thought about it, the more things went wrong. He who hadn’t reacted much earlier, now seemed to be able to smell an animal pen from Drek’tal; even looking down at the green arm of the old orc, Arthas was Feeling that there might be reptiles wriggling in it-some can't help the strong nausea desire, Arthas signaled to Frostmourne to quickly rescue himself-Thoradin is on the top, I don't know how many baths I have to take next time. Up!

Chapter 56: The Sting of the Pterodactyl

Just when Frostmourne got the master's order and was about to attack the old orc, a dark green floating shadow passed over the snow hill and plunged into Drek'Thar's arm that captured Arthas.When everyone on the snow hill reacted, they saw a short green arrow nailed to the same green skin of the old orc, and the delicate arrow feathers on the tail were still trembling slightly.

On this snowy hill, only High Elf Ranger Vereesa used bows and arrows. Mograine shouted at Vereesa angrily: "What are you doing? Are you trying to provoke the orc and hurt His Royal Highness? You vicious woman!" Vereesa just shot an arrow and shook her arm that was sore because of holding the bowstring for a long time. She was scolded by Mograine. She was angry and wronged for a while. After being speechless, he could only stare at Mograine, who was always rude to her, and forgot to rescue Arthas.

Tirion Fording was more careful, and interrupted Mograine who would continue to pour the dirty water on Vereesa, reminding: "Mograine, that orc seems to be unable to move." Mograine Looking intently, he found that Drek'tal's facial expression was indeed stiff. Although he was attacked, he did not take any retaliatory measures against Alsace.

Mograine immediately rushed over, broke Drektal's stiff muscles, and rescued Arthas.Tirion and Uther both leaned over and slapped their hands on Arthas, only to breathe a sigh of relief when they found that the prince was not harmed.Arthas looked at Vereesa who had saved him--although Arthas could escape without the arrow of the high elf ranger, but the little prince gave Vereesa a thankful smile—you asked why Don't say thank you personally?Naturally, it was because Frostmourne, who had been robbed of the limelight and meritorious service, was already gasping for breath. I was already about to make a move. Who would let you do something extra?It used to be a good opportunity to claim credit to the owner, but now it's all destroyed by this little woman in the chest!

Vereesa walked over with a bit of a twist, and asked in a low voice, "Little... Alsace, are you okay?" When Alsace saw someone approaching the door, he couldn't help but grinned in disregard of Frostmourne. "It's okay, thank you, Ms. Vereesa." Vereesa still blamed herself, and said, "This is what I should do... If it weren't for my failure to fulfill my duties, you wouldn't be held hostage by the orcs... …" The high elf ranger still remembers Mograine's complaint.
