Rise of the blood elves

After the orc shelter was established, Dalaran conducted a lot of research on it.Antonidas spent a lot of time visiting shelters in various places, observing the abnormal symptoms of decadence in orcs, and published several rigorous papers that were cited as must-read by orc researchers.

In addition, Dalaran also mastered Orcs, a language with a strong guttural sound, but the relevant books were quickly shelved and dusted in a small corner of the library.

Except for those scholars, no one will learn the orc language.

What to learn

Because the second war brought closer relations between each other, humans and dwarves had close exchanges, and the selection criteria for diplomats often largely depended on their mastery of the dwarf language.As for the high elves who live in the north and have little contact with humans,

Searching the seven human kingdoms of that period, except for the Dalaran people, there were very few people who could speak Thalassian, let alone those who were willing to spend time and effort learning the useless Orcish language.

The reason why Angmar came into the sight of Prince Kael'thas was also closely related to this language, or to the orcs.

At that time, he was just a personal assistant with the title of consultant, but actually doing accounting work. Lana Thel, who was the prince's financial officer, found the work boring and left a large backlog of accounts to Angmar alone. .

For a whole year, Angmar had not even seen the prince in person, and was simply called "the prince's advisor" in vain.

However, he can also endure his temper, and getting ahead is not the only way to improve his strength.

In his spare time every day, he basically spends time in the Dalaran Great Library, learning orc language is only the next priority.In order to make the source of the knowledge in his mind solid and not arouse suspicion, he spent nearly half a year collecting various information, and based on Antonidas's academic paper, he published an article titled The Destruction Affecting Two Worlds. War: Essays on the Orcs and the Masters Behind them.

As a result, the paper caused an uproar as soon as it was published, making him a well-known figure among Dalaran scholars in a very short period of time.

Because there is so much useful information in it, it systematically summarizes previous scholars’ superficial understanding of the orcs, and deeply explores the traditional customs of the orcs, their nomadic social structure in the form of clans, and the relationship between shaman sacrifices and the elements. Deep connection.

In the second half of the paper, there are many discussions on the corruption of orcs, extending from warlocks to demons and even the Twisting Nether, and various assumptions are made about the true intention of the Burning Legion to destroy the world.He compiled the information related to the Parliament of Tirisfal that had been gradually declassified at that time, compiled a table of the types of demons they had defeated over the years and their weaknesses, and attached it to the end of the paper.

The paper covered a wide range of topics and was so valuable that it put all scholars to shame. It immediately set off a wave of academic discussions in Dalaran.Every day Angmar's mailbox would be filled with letters inviting him to attend seminars. At that time

The prince finally noticed him.

Then Lannathel lost a hard-working hard worker.

"Please believe that I have no hostility"

The orc grinned twice, as if he heard something ridiculous, "There are people in this land of hostility who are not hostile to us."

He ignored Angmar and turned to his people and shouted: "Send more scouts this time. We must detect the undead attack in advance. We cannot lose more people."

Immediately one of the orcs put his fingers into his mouth and blew a sharp whistle.After a while, a dozen warg riders gathered and galloped towards the rear.These huge snow mountain wolves are all partners of the Frostwolf clan. Just like the Frostwolves in their homeland of Frostfire Ridge, their connection with each other is far better than that of ordinary riders and mounts. It can be said that they are spiritually connected.

The Dwarf Stormpike Guards who came here to curb the tribe's power in later generations suffered a lot from the Frostwolf Cavalry.Although their goat cavalry were brave, they were unable to fight back against the fierce wolf cavalry. They could only rely on their well-equipped equipment and numerical advantage to not fall behind.

The orcs gently nodded goodbye to Tirion and Dathrohan, and called to the tauren: "Come on, please tell me more about the people."

The two walked not far away and started talking, and only the two commanders of the knights were left beside Angmar.

Dathrohan sighed: "Why do you have to come to this muddy water?"

Contacting orcs without authorization is a very dangerous move for any race in the Eastern Continent.Especially for the cronies around a leader like Angmar, the political issues involved are too deep.Although Dathrohan has been in the military all his life, he also understands what this means.

The Silver Hand accepted treasonous criminals back, and now they are "collaborating" with the orcs, which has been criticized by many people in Lordaeron.No one understands the difficulties better than Dathrohan.

"Instead, I want to ask you, you and Lord Tirion are both indispensable leaders of the Silver Hand. The war is about to begin, but you two are absent from duty, what should we do with the war situation?"

Dathrohan was hit in a sore spot. Normally, being accused by a young man would definitely make this high-ranking leader of the Knights furious, but for him, Angmar is not ordinary. young people.

Angmar returned his stubborn old friend to the ranks of the Order, and brought them an artifact as powerful as the Ashbringer.Dathrohan still remembered Angmar's advice to the Alliance High Command two months ago. No one believed it at that time, but it didn't take long for the young man's prediction of the situation to become a reality.

"Tirion will return to the Knights later to take charge of the overall situation for me. These orcs are our saviors. They are completely unlike the orcs I have fought with. They are calm and rational," Dathrohan said. "I can't Just sit back and do nothing about them. I will take people to escort them to evacuate until they are out of danger."

Angmar looked around. There were only a few dozen paladins. What role could they play?

The natural disaster army pouring out from the Alterac Mountains will not care about this. If they really intend to divide their forces, no one can stop them, whether they are chasing the migrating Frostwolf clan or the human evacuation team in the south.

By then, the corpses would be all over the place. If Alsace had not rushed to attack the city and killed and transformed dozens of millions of innocent people first, his cannon fodder strength would have doubled.

The coalition forces have nothing to do about this, and this is the most painful thing.They could only huddle in Dalaran and rely on the strong city walls and magic barriers to resist the natural disasters. If they went out of the city and lost their geographical advantage, they would only be surrounded and annihilated by the natural disasters without any suspense.

Now the only hope is that the rescue ships from Kul Tiras and the Kingdom of Stormwind will arrive as soon as possible, or that the people will retreat to the Arathi Highlands and use elite troops to guard the broken Wall of Thoradin to stop the pursuing undead.The former is unlikely, and time should be sufficient to achieve the latter goal.

Angmar quickly figured out this problem. The escort Dathrohan mentioned meant helping the orcs clear the "checkpoints" along the way. Not far to the south was the evacuation team of the Hillsbrad people, escorted by a large number of local troops. If the Frostwolf clan wants to retreat eastward, they will inevitably encounter it.Dathrohan does not want unnecessary conflicts between the two sides.

Rather than protecting the Frostwolf clan, this move is more about protecting those innocent people.After all, if there really is a fight, no army anywhere can stop the three thousand brave Frost Wolf Orcs.

"I'll do whatever I can to help," Angmar said.

Dathrohan and Tirion looked at each other and shook their heads in disbelief.They didn't think Angmar, who came from the blood elves and had a complex political background, could be of much help.

Just as Angmar was about to walk towards the orc leader, Tirion stopped him.
