Chapter 1061: A Defeat
What happened in the Cursed Lands was so bizarre and unexpected that even Lodenson and Sarasnan, who were on the same side as Leo, didn't expect it, let alone Lexa.
The orc hero with ogre blood is in Stoned at this time, and the ogre mages he has gathered from all over the world are pumping magic into a giant circle with all their might. Supported by the huge amount of magic power, the magic nodes of this magic circle, which was three times the size of Stoneard, gradually glowed.
Lexa was a little nervous, the circle was about to open, once the circle was activated, the dark door would also be opened, and the closer it was to success, the more it could not relax.
Don't look at Leo's posture of showing no attention to Lexa's plan, who knows what he thinks, in case Leo is pretending to be a gesture, in order to let him relax, and wait until the last moment to perform that fatal blow, Lexa really slackened as the other party wants, resulting in a failure, and not be annoyed to death?
Just in the extreme tension of Lexa, in the desperate all-out delivery of magic power from the ogre mage, the giant magic circle was opened.
Without any hindrance, without any damage from outsiders, it was smooth sailing, and the giant circle that opened the dark door was successfully activated.
Lexa should be happy that his goal has been achieved, but he is not happy at all now.
Leo really didn't care about what happened to Stoner, as he had shown, and a sense of humiliation rose in Lexa's heart.
I've been nervous for a long time, and I've spent so much energy in vain, so it's not worth mentioning in the eyes of you Leo? You, Leo, are so sure that you're facing the demon army after the Dark Gate opens?
If Leo were standing in front of Lexar at this time, Lexa would have done nothing and would have killed Leo with a tomahawk.
Just when Lexa was angry that Leo despised him, an orc warrior ran in the distance, and before the orc warrior could arrive, the voice came: "Lord Lexa, it's not good, something happened in the Land of the Damned." ”
Lexa's heart suddenly banged loudly, and a bad premonition arose from his heart, and at this time, the accident in the Cursed Land was not good news for Lexa.
What exactly did Leo do in the Cursed Lands, and what was he going to do with me?
"Lord Lexa, Mar...... Ma ......"
The orc warriors were panting and sweating profusely, and they looked so tired that they couldn't even finish their words in one breath. This can make Lexa anxious, don't gasp when you speak, what the hell are you going to say.
In Lexa's eager gaze, the orc warrior who came to report came back to his senses and said a piece of news that Lexa couldn't believe: "Manolos has appeared. ”
"Manolos? Vandalus Manolos! Lexa's eyes widened suddenly, he reached out and grabbed the orc warrior, and asked loudly, "What happened, you tell me clearly." ”
The orc warrior had a pained expression on his face, Lexa's strength was far beyond his strength, and the latter crumbled him to the bone even with one hand.
As if realizing his recklessness, Lexa let go of his hand, and the orc warrior breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lord Lexa, just now, the destroyer Manolos appeared in the Cursed Lands, and now he is merging the demons of the Dark Gate. ”
"Are you sure, it's really Manolos?"
Lexa's heart sank when he asked this, he knew that the scouts would never dare to report such a big matter, and they must have been 100% sure that the news would come back.
"Leo, you're ruthless!"
Lexa gritted his teeth and said these words word by word, and he now understood why Leo didn't come to Stoneard to stop him from opening the dark door.
It's not that Leo doesn't have that ability, it's not that Leo is afraid of the trap here, it's that Leo doesn't want to stop him at all.
Open the dark gate and connect the orc's hometown of Draenor with the world where the humans are located, and Lexa believes that Isar's ability can completely protect Orgrimmar, and he is the one who suffers at most, and although he has influence on the orc clan, it will not hurt the foundation.
But that was just Lexa's previous plan, and with Leo's intervention, the whole thing was completely different.
Without Manolos appearing, the demon army will inevitably expand wildly after the dark gate is opened, and the only way out of the Cursed Land will be an obstacle for them, and the elite troops of the alliance stationed there and the demons of the Burning Legion will be a desperate battle, no matter who wins or loses this battle, the final winner is the orc clan to which Lexa belongs.
But now that Manolos has appeared, the situation is complicated.
Even a layman understands that the combat effectiveness of an army with a leader and a rabble without a leader is completely different.
Under the leadership of Manolos, no matter how elite the Alliance forces in the Watch Fort were, how long could they hold out, and how many casualties could they inflict on the demons?
As soon as the watchtower was broken, the demon army would no longer be hindered, and the entire eastern continent would not be able to escape their poisonous hands.
Lexa's purpose is to weaken the Alliance's strength, so that the balance of power between the Horde and the Alliance is back in balance, and the Orcs do not have the strength to destroy the Alliance, not before, and even less now. If the orcs move too much, they will definitely attract the suppression of the night elves and dragons.
Balance, only balance, so that the strength of the tribe and the alliance is maintained at the same level, is the most beneficial situation for the orcs.
The appearance of Leo upset the balance between the alliance and the horde, and Lexa had to take the risk of opening the dark gate, calculating the alliance, and bringing the strength of the two sides back to the stalemate stage.
It's a pity that no matter how good the plan is, it can't catch up with the changes, and the appearance of Manolos spoils everything.
The demons that led the Burning Legion to poison the world, such a big crime Lexa dared to bear, but he couldn't bear it, because the alliance would inevitably count this account on the heads of the entire orc clan, and the dragons and night elves who usually acted as intermediaries would inevitably fall to the alliance after such a thing happened, who made Lexa an orc, and who let the orcs endanger the whole world in this way.
Lexa could imagine how elves and dragons who had been touched by the bottom line would treat orcs.
This is not the most terrible, what Lexa fears the most is that it is all a conspiracy of the alliance.
Leo has the ability to resurrect, which is not a secret in the eyes of people of Lexa's level, and the appearance of Manolos reminded Lexa of a piece of information that he knew before - the skeleton of Manolos in the Demon Slayer Canyon has disappeared inexplicably.
Albeit in Grom. After Hellroar and Manolos died together, Thrall brought Manolos' head back to Orgrimmar in order to prove that the orcs killed the saboteurs, and to show the orcs' bravery, and the corpse of Manolos left in the Demon Slayer Canyon was only the remains, but who can guarantee that it is useless without the resurrection ability of the head Leo?
If Manolos' appearance had been planned by Leo a long time ago, it would explain why Leo ignored Stoned and allowed the Dark Door to be opened.
The thought of Manolos being controlled by Leo, and the fact that everything that happened in the Land of the Damned was under Leo's control, Lexa couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, because he thought of the worst-case scenario, and that was when Manolos the Saboteur was under Leo's control to link his resurrection with the opening of the Dark Gate.
The Demon Slayer Canyon can be said to be within the control of the tribe, Thrall brought back Manolos's head, and at this time it was Lexa, a few strong orcs in the orc clan, who opened the dark door, if Leo was ruthless enough, he let Manolos bite the word, and the orcs reached an agreement with him.
Is Leo ruthless enough?
The answer goes without saying.
Lexa is really scared now, as the so-called desire to add to the crime is unexcused, not to mention that the other party is justified now, who will believe that the orcs are innocent, elves or dragons?
If this is the case, it is not clear whether the orcs are mixed up or not.
Originally, there was a Gianna who could help the orcs to say something, but now the orcs sent troops to attack Tiragad Castle and completely offended Gianna to death, even if Gianna can remain neutral, even if it is very good, can she still be expected to help the orcs make peace?
"Damn Leo, yes, it must be so, he will let Manolos slander us orcs, otherwise why would he lure our men to attack Tilagad Castle......"
Lexa's mind was very clear at this time, and he understood that both he and Thrall had fallen for Leo's evil, and those Kurtilas sailors in Tilagad Castle were not sharp knives used by the alliance to fight back against the orcs and go straight to the orcs' vital point, but a pawn that was sacrificed from the beginning, a pawn used to make them break with Gianna of Theramore.
The powerful humans could not tolerate someone swaying from side to side, and Gianna was undecided, so they forced the orcs to help Gianna make decisions.
Ruthless, the people who thought of this plan were so ruthless, those Kul Tiras sailors were completely used as tools, and they were hundreds of soldiers with strong convictions.
Lexa only felt cold, the alliance not only planted the orcs this time, but also forced Gianna to express his position by the hands of the orcs, so that the orcs forced their friends to become enemies, with the help of the dark door opening incident, the alliance not only had the righteous name of doing to the orcs, but also peacefully solved the instability factors within the human race itself, and the action planned by him Lexa not only did not damage the alliance, but allowed the alliance to benefit again.
Now, even if Lexa is unwilling in his heart, he has to admit that he lost, and he lost completely.
"Get the word back to Orgrimmar and get the High Chief ready. Also, help me bring a message to the Great Chief, just say that I, Lexa, am a sinner, and that I am sorry for him. ”
Lexa's tone was full of gloom, the orc hero's mouth was full of bitter taste, his burly body aged a lot in an instant, and the whole person's spirit seemed to have been drained of most of it, showing a little old.
