Chapter 521 The Black Dragon's Ambition
Since Archmage Rhonin, the current High Priest of Dalaran, and his allies thwarted Deathwing's plot during the Grim Batol incident, and Neltharion faked his death, the Black Dragonflight has seemingly vanished...
In reality, they were expanding into the outer regions, but the Black Dragon Legion encountered unexpected setbacks there.
They encountered the Gronn Giants, a race even the orcs couldn't contend with. Faced with the Gronn Giants, beings with demigod bodies and suspected to be the ancestors of orcs and ogres, the Black Dragon originally hoped to secretly use his hidden new dragon eggs to create a new invincible army of Void Dragons, Chromatic Dragons, and even Bio-Dragons...
As a result, the Black Dragon Legion suffered a crushing defeat at Blade's Edge Mountains...
The Black Dragon King had no choice but to keep a low profile again, lie low, and accumulate strength.
He sent his sons to various parts of the world. His son Nefarian rescued Blackhand's two sons, Rend & Blackhand and Maim & Blackhand, from an Alliance prisoner-of-war camp. In the upper levels of Blackrock Spire in Blackrock Mountain, some of the Blackrock clan's orcs joined forces with the Black Dragonflight, and the two reunited... continuing to harass the surrounding Alliance Horde strongholds.
His daughter, Onyxia, the Black Dragon Princess, now goes by the alias Countess Katarina & Prestor, and is a powerful figure close to Grand Duke Bolvar, Regent of Stormwind...
The whereabouts of the Black Dragon King himself are unknown, and whether there are any remnants of the Black Dragon Legion in the outer realms is still unknown...
However, the teacher said that the Black Dragon King is clearly not on the same page as the Red Dragon Clan, the Yellow Dragon Clan is in hiding, the Green Dragons are in a perpetual slumber, and the Blue Dragon is erratic... There are likely various schemes behind all of this...
The Black Dragonflight has grand ambitions. The Black Dragon Princess that Lorraine encountered in Hillsborough was just the tip of the iceberg of their massive plan... Their reach extends not only to Stormwind, but also to Orgrimmar.
......
The black dragon head hanging on the wooden stake at the entrance of the Valley of Power symbolizes the enmity between the black dragon and the orcs.
More specifically, it was because, near Blackrock Mountain in the central part of the Eastern Kingdoms, Thrall's new Horde expeditionary force clashed several times with the Blackrock orcs, descendants of Blackhand, who refused to submit.
Even with the help of the black dragon, the Blackrock orcs still couldn't gain any advantage in the Burning Steppes...
The Alliance and the Horde jointly guard the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands, and keeping it open this time is essential for both sides.
The remaining demons of the Burning Legion in the Blasted Lands pose a greater threat to Stormwind and Orgrimmar than the undead in the north... Ensuring the Dark Portal remains intact is a rare consensus between the two sides.
Therefore, Thrall was thinking about more than just the chaotic Scourge undead problem in the north.
......
Thrall wanted to send troops to the Eastern Kingdoms, but his strategic focus was not on the north, but on the central and southern Blasted Lands and traditional strongholds near Blackrock Mountain... including the Kargath Expeditionary Camp, Stannard Outpost in the Swamp of Sorrows, and Grom'gol Camp in Stranglethorn Vale.
The most important thing, of course, was to provide support to the mother race in Outland. The news from Shattrath and Nagrand excited both Orgrimmar and Stormwind.
Thrall of Orgrimmar was delighted to have found the remaining Mag'har orcs, whose grandmother was still struggling to survive with the rest of her people... There were still a large number of orcs in Outland who had not been liberated and were constantly threatened by the Burning Legion and the remnants of Gul'dan's forces.
The Alliance also learned that the expeditionary force had not been completely wiped out, and all five Alliance heroes were still alive... The human expeditionary force found the Naaru, creatures of the Light, and established a friendship with the Draenei in Shattrath City.
Turalyon even joined the Legion of Light, facing the demons alongside the Draenei...
Khadgar's return directly opened the portal from Shattrath to Dalaran, revealing the truth about the Holy Light and exposing the Burning Legion's ambitions.
This also informed the night elves that the demon hunter Illidan, along with the blood elf prince Kael'thas and the Naga lady Lady Vashj, had seized the Karabor Temple, which originally belonged to the draenei... and it had now become the Black Temple...
The situation is complex. As the leader of the tribe, it's not just about personal honor and disgrace, but also the future of the tribe and internal conflicts...
There are too many issues to consider.
......
Thrall, who is actually quite young, has a few gray hairs on his head since becoming Warchief of the Horde...
The tribe's warriors always heard the chieftain say that he had many important things to do, but they always saw him sitting on his throne in a daze, probably troubled by various thorny diplomatic and domestic issues.
Simple-minded tribal warriors?
If one doesn't use their brain, they will likely be enslaved and manipulated again. To unite and appease the various strange and volatile elements with different personalities within the tribe, it will indeed require more wisdom and courage.
In Eileen's eyes, this legendary tribal chieftain was indeed quite different from ordinary orcs.
After she finished making her demands, the chief remained silent, which made her somewhat anxious and puzzled.
......
Eileen wanted to say a few more words, but a noisy commotion came from outside Fort Thrall.
The guards immediately reported that someone had resisted arrest...
Eileen instinctively thought it was Lorraine. Lorraine appeared weak and ordinary, but in reality, she possessed terrifying power. Eileen had witnessed the Necromancer's deadly moves firsthand at the foot of Mount Alteran; the Legion of Spirits' aura was no less powerful than Lady Aegwynn's magic...
The guards said that the orcs had suddenly gone berserk and were spreading the disease among the crowd, and many people were already injured... The situation was dire, so after paying his respects to the Warchief, Saurfang immediately led his guards out to provide support.
The once crowded and bustling chief's hall was suddenly much less staffed...
The orcs rampage, drawing away some of the Kor'kron elite guards...
There seems to be a gap around the heavily guarded throne of the Great Chief...
After a long silence, Sal suddenly looked up at the roof. "Guests upstairs, uninvited? Why don't you come down and listen to my thoughts? Regardless of which faction you come from, I forgive your intrusion..."
The words had barely left his mouth when several hidden arrows and crossbow bolts rained down on Thrall, who sat atop the chieftain's throne...
Everyone looked up. Thrall, seemingly out of nowhere, pulled out a steel plate and immediately held it in front of him. He raised the plate with one arm, the arrows on it clanging loudly... The Warchief's gaze fell on Vol'jin not far away... The latter nodded, and a rapid, short incantation was chanted. Vol'jin, with gestures gesturing wildly, activated his sorcery...
Suddenly, several green frogs fell from the simple wooden beam above Sal's head...
Along with these frogs, a considerable number of crossbow bolts and large machetes were also dropped...
The frogs hopped around the hall in a daze. Before Eileen could react, the Kor'kron elite guards had already grabbed nets, ensnared the reptiles, and tied them up one by one... In the few seconds that followed Eileen's stunned silence, the frogs transformed rapidly. One by one, the masked assassins' disguises fell away, leaving them completely naked...
Fortunately, most of these assassins were dark-skinned Blackrock orcs, with a few fanged trolls, and even more goblins and tauren...
Even if she were completely naked, Eileen wouldn't feel ashamed. Her cold gaze held more shock at the abilities of Vol'jin, the Darkspear troll chieftain standing to the side.
This troll chieftain, who stands to the side like an ordinary warrior, is actually Thrall's right-hand man...
Vol'jin, the Shadow Hunter, using his mass frog-turning spell is likely an ancient form of magic, referred to as sorcery by trolls...
When Thrall saw the assassin captured, he grinned broadly, though his gaze remained fixed on the rooftop...
"It seems the enemy's target isn't just you, my friends in Undercity... I need to send out patrols from this rooftop specifically to capture those hidden assassins."
