Orgrim spread his hands, "But I can leave my experience and lessons to the next Great Chief, the one who can really lead the tribe out of the world we are doomed to destruction, the one who can really bring the tribe to strength." ”
Zulushid narrowed his eyes: "Are you going to kill yourself like a coward?"
"Neither, I'm going to do my own thing, and leave as much vitality as possible for the tribe. Orgrim smiled mysteriously.
No one in this world knew what Orgrim's plan was, except for one man, Duke.
Anduin Lothar, who was in charge of the army, had a disagreement with Duke for the first time.
After recovering Stormwind, Anduin returned to the main forces of the Alliance to the north, but when he received multiple reports from the Elwyn Forest, he frowned deeply.
At this time, hundreds of thousands of troops had already divided into two lines. The main force was assembled in the barren land east of the Scorching Canyon and prepared to advance head-on, while the other side, mainly dwarves, with only 50,000 men, gathered in the Lockmodan area, where Ironforge was located, preparing to pass through the huge tunnel that the dwarves had built for an unknown number of years, directly through the mountainside, and cooperate with the main force to fight into the Scorching Canyon.
Just as he was about to launch a full-scale attack, Anduin, who was in the main camp of the Barren Land, thought for a long time, and chose to use magic to communicate and summon Duke directly.
Duke arrived as promised.
"What?Anduin, not worried about my army that controls the direction of the Stormwind Kingdom?" Duke smiled as he entered the tent, only to find that Anduin was the only one there.
Anduin's face was rarely serious: "In the town of Shining Gold, in Blackwell, near the East Valley Lumberyard, my people have received reports of your connivance with your subordinates to slaughter orc women and children. ”
Duke chuckled in his heart, what was to come had finally come, but Duke did not regret it: "Yes? I just ask every warrior to visit the settlements destroyed by the orcs, and to see the remains of the women who were cut in half with their axes and held their babies in their arms. ”
"You are stirring up the people's hatred of the orcs, and I don't care about the orc warriors, but it is not in chivalry to allow the slaughter of orc women and children. ”
"First, tell me why you should be kind to a barbaric race that has started a genocide against humanity? Second, if you insist on sparing orc women and children, what will you do ten or twenty years from now, when a new group of orcs grows up and raises their butcher's knives against humans again? Do you want us to tell Varian, 'Oh, Your Highness, chivalry reigns supreme, and you must not kill orc women and children?' In this way, it will be convenient for those little cubs to grow up and slaughter humans again. 'What?'
Duke's words left Anduin speechless.
"Anduin, we are dealing with an extremely ferocious collection of savage races. Don't forget, orcs are part of the tribe along with trolls and ogres. ”
"But what is the difference between us humans and orcs if we abandon the virtues that humans should have!?" Anduin argued.
"Virtue is destined to be an ideal that is impossible for all to attain. I don't deny chivalry, but I'm a very practical mage, and I only recognize races and civilizations that can communicate with reason. Anduin, you can remove me from the position of deputy commander of the Alliance, and even let Ryan remove my duke, but if you want to stop me from cleaning up the orcs, please bring 200,000 troops. ”
Duke's voice fell, and Anduin fell into a deep conflict. Anduin knew very well that he could not make the Alliance let go of its hatred, and most of the eleven countries of the Alliance had been poisoned by the tribes. How many millions of humans have died at the hands of the tribe?
However, it is not in line with the knightly oath to indulge these Alliance soldiers to seek revenge.
In the face of Duke's strong opposition, Anduin knew that if he could not convince Duke, it would be impossible to stop the spread of this racial killing.
At this time, to Duke's surprise, King Lane came in from outside the tent.
Ryan spoke very earnestly, "Duke, I don't want to directly argue with big reason. I just want to hear what you think of the tribe. ”
Duke was silent for a few seconds before speaking in a heavy voice: "Do you know how many tribes are left on the continent now? Do you know how many places on the continent can be used for tribes to thrive if we don't clean up the tribes as much as possible? No! You don't know, but I'm - I know!"
Anduin and Ryan looked awe-struck.
The Warsong Clan, the Frostwolf Clan, and the various troll clans that may join the Horde were pointed out by Duke on the large map.
Kargas, Flaming Peak, Stonerd, Grom High ...... These tribal strongholds, which are almost taken for granted in Duke's game memory, naturally have a different flavor in front of Anduin, a military strategist, at this time.
Seeing that these wild places, which have been ignored by most people, can become an excellent breeding ground for the rise of the tribe if left unchecked, Anduin and Ryan are finally moved.
Duke's last reason was to give the final blow to the balance in Anduin's heart: "Think about it, if Emperor Soladin has ever counted the women and children of trolls among the weak......"
In this day and age, no matter what, humanity uses Soladin the Great as a template for action. Perhaps chivalry is very noble and worthy of admiration, but compared to Soladin the Great, the co-master of mankind, it is clear who is more important and who is lighter.
Lothar was indeed a very noble man, and Duke had no intention of breaking his faith, but Duke had to do so, because when the Alliance won, King Terenus would have historically had to implement that very fucked policy of forbidding the Alliance to slaughter tribal captives.
This is a poisonous ploy by Terenus to consume the rest of the alliance in the name of chivalry.
Unless you find an excuse to break away from the Alliance, you'll be overwhelmed by the ever-increasing cost of containment. The nations that truly possessed chivalry and humanitarianism became plagued by tigers, and King Terenus, who wanted to reap the benefits of the fishermen, also stormed the streets after encountering the fallen Alsace.
Duke is enlightened.
He hated the old tribe that was so violent that he wanted to kill them all. It's a pity that the orcs are just Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, such a big world, it is impossible to eradicate the tribe, so at least compress the living space of the new tribe and try to keep the new tribe within a controllable range.
Don't move to have a chance to destroy the Alliance, or make a big chief brain-dead roar that affects the city's appearance and pits the Alliance.
That one is farther away, and more recently, and Duke's focus is on the battle for the palace as the Second Battle of the Dark Gate. In this battle, according to the original history, Duke's most respected hero of the League, Anduin Lothar......
Will be killed by Orgrim!!(To be continued.)
