Chapter 503 High Overlord Saurfang
The tribe has many kings, most of whom were actually former leaders of small orc tribes...
Once upon a time, in the orcs' homeland, various tribes and clans branched out, each occupying different regions and possessing distinct traditions and styles. On orcish territory lived ogres, as well as draenei...
Legend has it that the ancestors of orcs may have been the ancestors of ogres, and that orcs evolved from ogres...
This research represents the hypothesis of Draenei scholars. In reality, there are indeed connections and conflicts between orc tribes and ogres; the famous Beastmaster Rexxar is actually a hybrid of orc and ogre...
In Outland, there exists a race of giants called the Gronn. They possess immense physique and strength, but lack intelligence...
Even during the orcish golden age, the Gronn still existed, occupying territory near Blade's Edge Mountains. After the Dark Portal opened, and following several battles, the Black Dragonflight of Azeroth secretly allied with the Shadow Council of orc warlocks. The Black Dragon Aspect, whose plot was thwarted by Rhonin and his heroes in Dalaran, briefly ventured into Outland, choosing to cultivate a new Black Dragonflight near Blade's Edge Mountains and secretly continue his research on the Twilight Dragonflight...
Unfortunately, in Outland, the strongest of the Gronn, the ogres' worshipped demigod Gruul, personally led his offspring in a great battle against the Black Dragonflight, and killed many of the Black Dragon King's descendants...
Gruul thus earned the title of Dragon Slayer, thwarting the Black Dragon King's plan to return to Outland...
According to information from the Draenei and Dalaran, the orcs are actually related to the ogres and even the Gronn by blood and marriage. The historical entanglements between these groups are no less complex than those of the Draenei, Eredar, and the Burning Legion's abyssal races; they are, in themselves, a legend.
Later, some ogres invaded Azeroth along with the Burning Legion, and their leaders generally called themselves "King So-and-so"...
After the fall of Outland, the ogres, like the orcs and draenei, were wanderers from another world, their homes destroyed by the Burning Legion...
This clan tradition, originating from the Outland, has been inherited by the orcish legions and tribes.
High Overlord Saurfang was once the lieutenant of Orelion and Doomhammer, both chieftains of the Blackrock clan...
The Blackrock Clan was a powerful clan, once one of the strongest orc clans. Although Ner'zhul, the shaman of the Shadowmoon Clan, was the true spiritual leader of the entire orc race, Blackhand, the chieftain of the Blackrock Clan, was undoubtedly the strongest chieftain.
In contrast, the Frostwolf Clan has always lived in harsh, cold lands and is relatively weak compared to other orc clans. They are even considered peaceful and rational... They cherish their families, respect the elderly and care for the young, live with their frost wolves, and engage in animal husbandry and agriculture...
It's an outlier...
Orcs are warlike, and most of them live by plundering and hunting...
The invasion of Azeroth, once described by the shadow warlock Gul'dan as a glorious hunt... Most orcs invaded Azeroth, a land suitable for survival, because of the resource crisis in Outland and the collapse of the world.
Comparatively speaking, the orcs' homeland was extremely harsh... The once habitable lands they occupied gradually became the source of many conflicts after the arrival of the draenei...
The old tribes ultimately failed and disintegrated...
However, the tradition was not broken; High Overlord Saurfang represented the last glory of their former Blackrock clan. High Overlord Saurfang also led his tribe to become Thrall's trusted lieutenants, and in reality, the Blackrock orcs of the new Horde remained the main fighting force...
In other words, the main tribes in the new Horde are actually the former Blackrock orcs, the entire Warsong Clan, a part of the Frostwolf Clan, as well as numerous smaller tribes, the Darkspear trolls, and the tauren led by Cairne Bloodhoof of Thunder Bluff...
The Forsaken and Blood Elves are natural allies Thrall's new Horde found in the Eastern Kingdoms... Just as the Night Elves and Draenei, and the Alliance's Stormwind, came together, they were also each other's enemies, right on opposite sides...
Generally speaking, in the tribal military rank system, the Great King is equivalent to a level 12 general, a level 13 warlord, a level 14 high-ranking warlord, and so on...
More often, it represents the leader of a tribe.
Leading an army alone...
High Overlord Saurfang is actually one of the core figures, a level above even a 14th-rank High Warlord. In terms of rank, he is indeed a superior commander who can be challenged by a champion or lieutenant general.
High Overlord Sargeras, as the Horde's most loyal warrior and commander of the Kor'kron Elite Guard, personally guarded the gates of Orgrimmar to reward and encourage his warriors.
Whether it's the Horde expeditionary force returning from battles in Outland, the Mag'har kin returning home, the reinforcements who successfully returned from Operation Stormstorm to support Undercity against humanity a few days ago, or the elite troops being assembled to cross the sea north to Northrend's Borean Tundra to establish a new Warsong Fortress...
He personally boosted morale and conveyed the chief's blessings...
They waited specifically at the gates of Orgrimmar for the arrival of the Undercity envoy. Both sides needed to discuss the competition between the Alliance and the Northrend campaign against the Lich King, and the matter of each side establishing outposts in Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord...
Dealing with little Lorraine was completely unexpected...
Lorraine's love of watching the spectacle, coupled with his casual display of the artifact Demon's Strike, attracted the covetous eyes of thieves... He seized the dagger from the commoner Wilkes... It's unclear where Wilkes obtained it, and Lorraine has no idea of the value of Demon's Strike and the Blade of Crow...
He simply used them as two ordinary assassin weapons to conceal his identity...
Who would have thought that this behavior is like a woman disguised as a village woman, wearing two sparkling diamond earrings while pretending to be poor... Who wouldn't be tempted to rob her?
"This is victim blaming! Absurd!"
Lorraine could only scream in frustration from inside the net. He was forced to huddle together with a group of adventurers who disliked bathing, and as an undead, he actually looked down on the tauren, trolls, and blood elves...
A group of criminals, all scrambling around, while a female adventurer cursed loudly...
The female troll angrily bit at the hoof claws that reached out to her, shouting, "Anyone who dares to touch me again, I'll cut off their head and use it as a football!"
"Exactly, Minotaur, can you please retract your horns...?"
"Don't the dead ever bathe? Don't you have noses?"
......
Amidst the insults, Lorraine cautiously stopped moving and began to ponder how to escape...
A rank 5 Honorable Sergeant Major of the Horde, yet he doesn't seem to be respected... High Overlord Saurfang also mentioned the Adventurers' Guild, it seems most of the unfortunate souls here are members of the Adventurers' Guild.
Come to think of it, I'm actually a member of some guild...
Although it seems to be the lowest level of membership...
The [Deathspeaker] guild seems quite well-known within the Horde. Lilith mentioned they even have a guild headquarters in Orgrimmar, and last time they even got Undercity to vouch for them. It's necessary to find some help; otherwise, Lorraine might be stuck in the dungeon, suffering even more trouble...
