Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

Thrall was busy adjudicating disputes all day.Most of these were trivial matters that Thrall thought his subordinates could handle.There are also some disputes, because both parties are unwilling to compromise, so a neutral third party is needed to mediate.In fact, anyone can handle these disputes, but as a chief, this is his duty. The last petitioner left the throne room, Thrall stepped down from the animal hide throne, and stretched his legs comfortably while pacing the room.He hadn't heard from Jaina about the Thunder Lizard yet, but he hadn't had any reports of the Thunder Lizard doing anything wrong either.So Thrall guessed that the whole situation was under control.He really wanted Queen Proudmoore to settle this matter quickly so he could talk to her about the Burning Blade.

Karser and Birx came in.Birx said eagerly, "Someone wants to talk to you right now, Chief." Sal never liked Burks taking random ideas, nor did he like him giving random orders.Before Sal could speak, Karse gave him a meaningful look. "Do you think I should meet this man, Shaman?" Thrall asked. "Yes." Karl said quietly. "Okay." Thrall stood where he was, he already hated sitting on the throne. Birx went out and led in a scout.This is a jungle troll, wearing a decorative armor and a mask, which is recognizable at first glance as the traditional costume of the Darkspear tribe.There are feathers on the armor, and a triangular helmet is painted colorfully, which looks quite scary.But after taking off the helmet, what appeared was a friendly and sincere face, much gentler than those other members of the Darkspear tribe with hideous faces.Jungle trolls can use magic that is impossible for any other race to master - Thrall knows that some humans would sell their souls to practice these magics, but in the end they failed - and swear their allegiance to Thrall forever.

"This is Rockhan," said Burks. There is no need to go on, Lokhan has a great reputation among jungle trolls and is considered one of the best scouts on the continent of Kalimdor.Lockhan tucked his helmet under his arm and took a step forward: "I'm afraid I have bad news for you, Chief. The humans are sending a large number of troops to Northwatch." Thrall couldn't believe his ears: "Are they strengthening the fortification?" "It looks so, Chief. I saw ships full of soldiers heading for Northwatch, and they sent a dirigible heading north to Scar's Highlands."

Thrall frowned: "How many people are there?" Lockhan shrugged: "It's hard to say, but there are at least twenty ships, and there are at least twenty people on each ship." "That's four hundred people," Burks said. "As soon as your friend Jaina set out to solve the trouble humans caused with the Thunder Lizard, they started sending troops to Northwatch. We can't wait until Jaina returns to take action." Action, Chief. I believe Jaina's motives are absolutely benign, but her people are not. We must not forget that." "Berks makes sense," Karser's voice was low and weak, and Thrall couldn't help but wonder how old this shaman was. "Humans stationed at Northwatch is to show their power on purpose, no matter what the reason is this time. , Their surge is definitely a prelude to attack, and the only thing we have to do is to fight with fire."

"It used to be the stronghold of Admiral Proudmoore," Burks didn't need to remind Thrall of this, but he still couldn't help it, "Now the subjects of Admiral Proudmoore's daughter are carrying her No effort was spared to fulfill her father's last wish." Thrall didn't really care about Burks' words, but he valued Karser's opinion.Not only that, Lockhan - the best scout - his judgment can be trusted. "Okay, Berks, send an order to Narzegal to immediately mobilize a team of troops to enter the Barrens. If humans occupy places other than Northwatch, I will order you to lead a fleet to take our troops to the Barrens. Downriver. Summon the trolls and do as you're told." Thrall sighed.He thought the days of fighting humans were over, but now it seems that the old hatreds are all revived. "If humans want to fight, let's let them know we're ready too."

Birx returned home after conveying his orders to Nazegal and the dock owner.In order to wipe out human beings in one fell swoop, he must make all preparations before setting off with the fleet. He sharpened the axe.Suddenly, a sulfurous smell spread through the cabin, and the hems of his trousers began to heat up.It was an inner pocket that held the Talisman of Faith that Zmodor had given him. Galtek Earred Nash.Is everything going according to plan? Burks hated swearing allegiance to anyone but the Chief.But he still pretended to reply: "Gertek Erednash. Yes, Thrall has begun to send troops from land and sea. Within two days, our people will go to war with humans, and within a week, humans will go to war. will be wiped out."

very good.You did a great job, Burks. "I just want to do what is right for the orcs. That's all I care about." That's natural.This war will help us achieve our great cause.Galtek Earred Nash. In Birx's view, demons are relatively good compared with humans.These demons were bastards, yes, but at least they had the orcs' interests in mind.In order to control the orcs, the demons brought the orcs into this world.But it's not the devil's fault that humans imprisoned orcs and made them forget who they are.The demons do use the orcs, but at least they never humiliate the orcs.

Birx was a slave from childhood.The humans were always beating him, insulting him, shitting on him, and making him clean it up, while they stood by and laughed.They called him all kinds of nicknames, the sweetest being "You green idiot."Not only that, but they always sent him on the most humiliating errands.Burks still hadn't figured out why so many orcs singled him out every time—and the other orcs didn't want to tell him.Maybe it's just a coincidence. What the devil did was nothing compared to what he had endured among humans.If cooperating with a demon can completely eliminate the scourge called human beings, Burks thinks it is still a good deal.

Birx is very grateful to Thrall, who gave him everything, and more.But Thrall couldn't see his own blind spots, and always had illusions about humans, maybe because Thrall's human master valued him very much.Although Edras Blackmoore raised Thrall for an ulterior motive, he treated Thrall much better than his master treated him—arguably better than most orcs. Thrall will gradually discover the mistakes he made.The large number of troops stationed by humans at Northpost Fort has already begun to wake him up.Now, just wait for the battle.Orc and troll warriors were so close to these human soldiers - war was sure to start.

Birx finished sharpening the ax, expecting to see it stained with human blood.
