Azeroth’s Death Track

Chapter 163 1. World. Changing situation [34100]

The ticking of time will not stop with anyone's retention, and history has turned a new page, entering the Dark Portal for 9 years.

It has been almost 2 years since the end of the Orc War, but the memory of the Orcs in the mainland countries has not been eliminated. The reason is very simple, except for those who were placed in a few prisoner-of-war camps in the Arathi Highlands and Hillsbrad Hills In addition to the orc captives, there are almost all orc bandits roaming around in every part of the continent.

That was 1 year and 6 months ago, when the Dark Portal was opened for the second time, the orcs who entered Azeroth were forced to stay in this world because of the sudden closure of the Dark Portal.

They have a large number and need to survive. Although Stranglethorn Valley, the initial gathering place, has a lot of vegetation and rich resources, the most primitive fishing and hunting life cannot support so many orcs gathered together. What's more, Stranglethorn Valley is Gurubashi The traditional territory of trolls, those trolls who still retain the barbaric headhunting customs will not allow orcs to occupy their territory.

The two sides often fought in the dense forest, but the blood ring orcs were also very brave. They insisted on resisting the attack of the Gurubashi trolls and opened up a new city for the orcs by the seaside of Stranglethorn Valley, which was ruled by Kilrogg, the chief of the blood ring clan. , most of the old, weak and children of the orcs are placed there, while the equally powerful Warsong, Thunder King and Shattered Hand clan are unwilling to be subordinated to others.

After resettling the old and weak, women and children, and helping the Orcs of the Blood Ring repel the trolls, they left Stranglethorn Vale one after another.

At present, according to the intelligence of SI7 in Stormwind City, which is the closest to Stranglethorn Vale, the Warsong clan is operating near the Arathi Highlands. They seem to plan to liberate the prisoner-of-war camps where the orcs were held. The Badlands took root, fighting for control of the place with the insidious Dark Iron Dwarves and some exiled ogres.

The Leiwang clan went the farthest, they went to the Hinterlands, and built their own fortress in that unopened barbaric land, becoming the second largest city in the Hinterlands after the Wildhammer dwarves and the Vilebranch trolls. the third largest force.

If you count the Dragonmaw clan that occupies Grim Batol in the wetlands, the Blackrock clan that occupies Blackrock Spire in the Burning Plains, and the Frostwolf clan that lives in seclusion in Alterac Valley, Draenor is a big and famous clan. , Almost all of them have taken root in Azeroth. Although life is a little bit bitter, it is better than staying in Draenor and waiting to die.

The human kingdom is not unaware of the threat of these wandering orcs, but just after the Second World War, the national strength of all countries has been damaged, and it is really unable to use more power to encircle and suppress these orcs while recuperating.

So for a while, the two parties were like beasts licking each other's wounds. When the wounds from the fight were almost healed, a new round of fighting would definitely be triggered, but that was for the future.

Mommy mommy!

At the edge of the forest in Hinterlands, the female orc who was grooming a wolf's fur in the sun heard her son's call. She put down the leather goods in her hand, raised her head, and saw her son dragging a wolf cub running towards her. come over.

Nora opened her arms and held her son in her arms. Although he was only 2 years old, the orc child had already grown into a tiger-like head. Looking carefully, it was 70% similar to the former Varok Saurfang.

I saw Uncle Brooks, he came back from hunting and brought back a lot of game! We can eat meat now!

The little orc opened his arms, his eyes were full of excitement, and he danced and described how big and rich the prey was. This kind of happy gesture made his mother laugh too. She put the little orc on the ground and patted him. head of:

You have to be obedient and go help Uncle Brox deal with the fur of those prey, Dranosh, otherwise there will be no meat to eat today!

But Sora is helping him!

The little orc raised his head and retorted: Sola alone is enough, I want to play for a while, by the way, Mom, I went out with Sola yesterday and saw some dwarves in the forest! Their beards are really How ugly! Still holding a black fire stick in his hand, and those big fierce birds... griffins! I remember the name!

What? Dwarves? Why are they here?

Hearing her son's words, Nora immediately became nervous. The Hinterlands are a good place with rich products and plenty of prey, but the Wildhammer dwarves here are very powerful. Several battles were fought, and the two sides were tied, but after all, the Leiwang clan was small in number and stood on the disadvantaged side.

Nora hugged her son tightly, she squatted down, and asked nervously:

Are the dwarves coming towards us? How many are there?

Don't worry, Mom!

Dranosh comforted his mother, he whispered:

Sola has already told the chief about the news. Chief Fenris took people to check it out. It is said that those dwarves were going to fight trolls, but they just passed by. Those trolls are uglier than dwarves! They often come to snatch Our food, by the way, mom, tell me a story about dad again!

The little orc lay in his mother's arms and whispered:

Is Dad really stronger than Chief Fenris? Then why doesn't he protect us by our side? Sola told me, Dad stayed in our world, Mom, where is our world? Is it far from Hinterland?

Upon hearing this request, the expression on Nora's face became sad. She touched her son's head and said softly:

Hasn't this story been told many times? Your father is the hero of the Horde. No one is stronger than him. He is waiting for you in Draenor. When you grow up and become a real warrior, you You can ride your own wolf and cross this land... In the south, at the end of the south, there is a door... Through that door, you can return to our world.

Draenor, that world also has the same prairie as the Hinterlands. It is bigger and wider than the Hinterlands. It can't be seen at a glance. Your father and I were born there, we met there, and we became friends. couple...

Mom, why are you crying again?

The little orc raised his head and wiped away his mother's tears. He said to his mother:

Papa must have made you sad, he left us, he is a bad man!

Don't say that!

Nora's voice suddenly became severe. She stared at her son and said in a deep voice:

Your father is a hero! His name is Varok Saurfang, no one can blame him, and neither can you! You have to work hard to learn fighting from your Uncle Brox, become a brave hero like him, and then Find him instead of your poor mother... ahem

Before Nora could finish her sentence, she started coughing violently. Her health was not good, especially when she was pregnant and went through the Dark Portal, the violent magic power hurt her body even more, so that Nora, who was once a good hunter, can only stay at home and do some fur work.

But even though the environment in Hinterlands is very good, the air is great, and the food is good, Nora's body is still weakening day by day. As a child, Dranosh can't understand so much, but Nora La knew for herself...she might be dying soon.

She held her son, the successor of her and her husband Varok, the crystallization of their lives. After she left, she didn't know what fate would happen to Dranosh.

As a person who has experienced the Draenor disaster for 20 years, Nora has been very indifferent to life and death, but in the last period of her life, she often climbs up and overlooks. On the top of the Hinterlands, she will Try to look south, try to see the impossible door, the door that separates her from her husband.

Saurfang, if you are still alive... live strong, your son has been born, he will become a warrior like you, one day, he will go to you... replace me Tell me your thoughts and love.

Successful!

In the mage's tower of Watchfort, Khadgar, with messy hair, waved a scroll of blueprints filled with magic patterns, and shouted to the mages around him:

We succeeded! We have fully mastered the structure and conduction method of the Dark Portal! Soon, soon we will open it!

This news immediately caused a sensation in the Watch Fort. The Sons of Lothar, who had long been determined to destroy the threat of the Dark Portal, were excited. Needless to say, other forces also learned about this news from various channels.

And Kurdran, who was stationed in the forward guard tower, has already rushed back to Overwatch Castle, as well as Alleria Windrunner, who is stationed in the Swamp of Sorrows, and Danas Trollbane, who just left Stromgarde. There was Turalyon who set off again with the paladins.

The sons of Lothar have never forgotten their vows!

Later, a human male wearing a black robe walked quickly into Khadgar's mage tower, and he said politely to the archmage:

I heard the news of your success, and my master is also very happy. He specially asked me to ask you if there is anything you need, and he will provide it immediately.

Oh, Olician, please send my regards to Lord Prestor for me.

Khadgar cleaned up his bad image, and said to the messenger behind him without turning his head: I may need a magic carrier that can carry huge magic power to open the crack of the Dark Portal. I will prepare the rest by myself. of.

Very good! What you need will be delivered to you as quickly as possible.

The man named Olysian bowed, then strode away, and when he disappeared, Khadgar looked up, and the mirror reflected a pair of calm eyes.

A year and a half ago, he had a meeting with Lord Prestor, and after that, Olyssian appeared beside Khadgar as a liaison, although he was as polite as Lord Prestor , and very strict etiquette, but the archmage just doesn't like him, there is no reason, it is a kind of instinctive disgust.

Khadgar always felt that beneath Olyssian's submissive exterior lay a dark soul... though he had no evidence to prove it.

But hating it is hating it. In more than a year of research, the lord who is far away in Alterac has helped him a lot. Khadgar has never seen such a generous and wealthy nobleman. It is the rarest magic material, and it will be delivered to him as quickly as possible.

This responsive attitude made Khadgar feel a sense of urgency. The lord seems to be very urgent to reopen the Dark Portal. Of course, he also has a suitable reason. The Book of Medivh is indeed from Alterac. Treasure, it is reasonable for the lord who has now mastered the kingdom of Alterac to seek it back.

But Khadgar thinks that this matter is not so simple... That Lord Prestor has a secret! And it has a lot to do with the Dark Portal or the Draenor world behind the door, there is no doubt about it.

in addition...

I don't know if it's an illusion...

After Khadgar tidied up his gray hair, he looked in the mirror and muttered to himself: I always feel that this year and a half has passed very quickly... It seems like a blink of an eye.

After standing still for a few minutes, Khadgar shook his head:

It doesn't matter! Tomorrow, tomorrow will start to set up the magic circle, and prepare to pass through the portal of darkness!

He walked to the edge of the mage tower, looked at the dark portal in the distance, and whispered:

I don't know what kind of changes have taken place in the world behind that door in the past year and a half...

Khadgar didn't notice that with his movement, a yellow light like a clock hand flashed behind him. His time seemed to be cut off from the time of the outside world, and it was passing abnormally fast. Obviously, for opening Regarding the Portal of Darkness, it is not only the Sons of Lothar and Lord Prestor who are anxious... There are also other more mysterious forces.
